"No, put it back! we don't have money for trinkets!" The older of the two stated. The two sisters bickered as they paced through the farmers market. Though, only one of them seemed to actually pace. The younger seems to slowly trudge along the dirt path, marveling and hand woven rugs and sparkling jewelry. Every now and again, she would pick something up and beg her sister to buy it for her. She knew that the possibility of her sibling ever actually breaking down and buying her a toy was very low, but it had happened before. She had cherished that toy until the day Karkat through it into the creek. What a dick.
In a blink of an eye, fear flooded the market. Horses could be heart stampeding towards the main vendor section.
"Nepeta! Get down to your knees immediately!" Muelin whisper shouted at her sister, tugging her down to the ground with her. The flashes of purple and the capricorn sign was enough to make Muelin tremble. Keep quiet, sit on your knees and keep your head down. You mustn't look up, She thought to herself. She placed a shaky hand on top of her younger sisters, preparing to grab her and run if necessary.
"Listen closely, peasants! We have an opportunity. An opportunity to.. Give your life any sort of meaning, so to say." The knights snickered among themselves.
"King Makara is searching for a bride. A woman to please him. However, there are restrictions." Muelin crossed her fingers. "You must be over the age of eighteen" Damn. "You must have some sort of job. You mustn't be sick or wounded. You mustn't have children...Hmm. That seems to be all the restrictions. If you would like to enter yourself as position of his bride, arrive at the Makara Kingdom garden at sunrise. Wear your best dress, ladies!"
The horses ran off towards north. Sighs of relief could practically be heard from the entire village. Nepeta had begin to whine and nuzzle her face into her sisters dress. Muelin pet her siblings frizzy hair and smiled to herself. She was going to become royalty.
