 Lapis Lazuli, the princess of the castle in the woods. The future queen and leader. Of course she does not want to be this way. She doesn't enjoy the presents, she doesn't enjoy the loneliness, she doesn't enjoy servants and guards, she just wants to be normal. But at last this wish is just a dream. It wouldn't come true.

A loud groan came from the Princess, she sat up and rubbed her eyes. She ran her cold, silky hand through her electric blue hair. She stood up and flattened her dress. "I wish they made these more comfortable..." She mumbled, walking towards her dark wooden bedroom door. Before she walked out, she grabbed her candle stick and held it carefully. She slowly opened the door and walked out in the hall. The long terrifying hallway. The endless hallway, she was always scared of it. She wanted to go outside to get fresh air, she sighed softly. She headed down the stairs, squinting her eyes, she could hardly see in this darkness.

She finally found the door. It was a secret door for easy access out. She opened it slowly and walked outside, she forgot about the big fence and gate. She walked over to the gate. Not even seeing the sign. She slowly pushed it open. Walking into the woods. She shut the gate behind. Her heading into the forbidden woods. She looked around, "I've never seen this part of the place...." She whispered. She continued to walk around, curious as ever. She didn't know where she was. The trees seemed to be changing colors as she walked by them. When she entered not to long along they were a bright healthy green. But now they're turning red, strange...

She looked around more, the candle burning out, she started to worry. But when she turned around. She realized that she was lost. "Oh no..." She whispered. She looked forward again, speed walking trying to find somewhere to shelter. She saw lights, she ran towards it. As she got closer buildings where in view. She blinked and walked closer. She walked up to the entrance. There was a big sign above, she looked up and read. "The city of ☹⚐💧❄ 💧⚐🕆☹💧". She looked on in confusion. She has never heard of the city or the symbols. She looked in. Her eyes widened. These creatures did not look like humans. Some did look slightly human, but most were creatures found in tales and legends. She slowly walked into the village, unsure what to do. She needed shetler badly. She might as well find someone to help.

As she walked around, many of the creatures didn't even mind her here. Since they think she's a weird creature like them. She continued to explore the weird city. She perked up when she saw a cafe like place. She walked over to it. She entered the place and walked up to the desk. There was a cat sitting on the desk, she looked around trying to find the owner. "What do you need?". Lapis blinked and looked at the cat. "Wait what?" Lapis raised a brow. "I said what do you want?". This cat talks? She needed to act normal, it was almost impossible. She smiled and nodded, "Uh, yes I do... I need something to drink and eat...". "Look at the menu it's there" Lapis nodded, "Oh okay..." She looked up. The menu had interesting items, such as: Fried Fish Legs, Fish with cheese, Meal in a bottle, and so much more things she has never heard of. She looked back down at the Cat. "Um, I'll have Fish with Cheese." That's the one thing she's actually had before. The Cat called out to someone, "Hey! Peridot, we got a customer!"
