Holding Light (On Hold)

Holding Light

(pronounced as Destra but just with an I)

Deistra watched her mother weave a Toranthian cloth made of the finest cloth on Toranth. Deistra, her mother and father where Toranthian. And royal at that, the king her father her mother the queen and her the princess. Princess of the golden land as the other kingdoms would say. It was true though. Toranth was founded by angels they said. People with beautiful gold wings with golden blonde hair. Buikt strong the women beautiful. We were a people of beauty a people of courage, pride and honor for are land.

Our castle was made with pure gold with marble shining floors that i lay on with one shoulder. Observing my mother weave the fine colth making a shawl. I stood up my gold dress came down one leg long and the other a little short. My golden-brawn hair with a golden band around it. My little body strong and agile as i always ran through the castle from place to place. Toranth was my kingdom a beautiful one at that.

The royal queens of other countries were talking to mother about stuff that I cared noting about my other sister Mera is some where probably training in the gardens. Where the same age 10 years of age and she's my closes friend Mera had eletric blue eyes like my father. My eyes were a dark grey from my mother. Mera loves to play with weapons I do too but not as much as she does. Her love is purely boredom. She's always bored so she does that.

Barran is my other friend. A boy of 10 years of age too who loves staying in Toranth than his watery kingdom of Geraprhdite. Water, water, water is all of the land. Not even land mostly. So he always visits me and Mera, Mera I wounder what she was doing right now I going to find her.

I found Mera in our Rose garden playing with the butterflies. Mera is beautiful and fair with a braided updo wrapped with golden roses. With pierecing violet-blue eyes, she also had a white gown on like me wrapped around her body like in the style of a toga. She noticed me there "Hey Deistra I heard Barran's in town let's go meet him at the Gate" Mera said. "Okay, wait what about the guards they will never let us out the castle" I said. "Let me take care of that" said Mera patting her sword next to her.

"Go out to the court-yard and wait till you hear my signal" said Mera running out the garden. "Mera, what's the signal" I yelled "When you hear men screaming and crying!" she yelled out and disappeared. I ran to the courtyard standing there for awhile unto I heard a man crying and screaming at the same time if it was possible. Then i saw Mera climb over the casle Wall coming down on her feet. "Woo injuring innconet men is not as easy as it seems" she said and we ran to the Gate together. We saw Barran running up to the gate watching Mera pick the Gate's lock letting Barran in.

Barran had dark brown hair that was hanging over his eyes a little with tan skin from the sun. He always wore his country's color blue. he was a good thinker,  mistrivous, and always a true friend.

                       Flashback

Mera and I met Barran when we were 8 we met in the market when me and Mera where bored and were shooting arrows at the farmers apples with bows and arrows. We were shooting a sack of them when the farmer saw us. We ran as fast as we could but the farmer caught us by the back of our shirt. He got out a knife about to slice us like marshmallows when barran got his bow and shot the farmr in the leg causing him to fall to his knees. He was down but I kicked the crap out of him making sure he was hurt while Mera and Barran ran of. We thankd Barran, and ever since that we've been best friends always laughing, getting in trouble and having fun.

            Back to 409 B.C

Mera picked the lock allowing Barran to come in, Barran had a amythest stone with him probably from the forest that he has to cross to come to Toranth in the sky. Just then the stone started rocking and glowing.
