Fallen Hopes On The Mountan Of Silks And Skins

Ravens in silk.

                      ~Chapter one ~

The scolding son was about to rise in several months to come,but  over the snow infested mountain that had ballenced my familys castle and all the kingdom at its highest peek, The very remembrance of the sun was so hot it blistered the skin of everyone whom was close enough to see its holy flames, it was believed that the sun itself was the last dragon egg in the solar system, the last that we would see. The 3 moons that circled the planet were so cold it sent us into a hybrid winter made like no other, so cold the snow itself froze solid, those who where not surrenderd to my father had froze to the vicious frost biting dragon of fury.

Our castle was the last kingdom to stand due to the winter, every other king queen and there children had froze threw there castles and there inferno fireplaces, but us were fine the cold doesnt fase father but mother constantly is shivering and so are me and my sister. Mother hides in her room to hide from the blizzard that runs our hallways while father oddly stands bare in his shorts and robe, the ice turns all of us pale, i miss seeing the sun by the third month of the frozen democracy of winter, only two more winters to pass threw till our next solice of molten hot air that burns your lungs with every breath. I hide in the fur cloak my father had provided for me, i feel guilty knowing i was the only one that had received any protection from winters ice fangs that peer in threw the windows mother and lillian had froze themselfs threw the inconvenience of my father and his cold heart, the women eho work as maids here have all heard the latest gosip of the three maids that went missing while cleaning out the first floor of our strange kingdom, new things keep appearing and the walls scream "run" to me as i hear the screams from the lower floors threw out the nights, the very essence of my father makes me cring in discust.

The morning of the insadent i had a feeling, i got the feeling my father was up to no good the moment i had herd my mother yelling at my father and the two bickering threw the vents wher i had no busness eavesdropping in on ther conversation but curriosity had pulled me in, my mother had said "There going to find out some how, one day or another you might as well tell them before they figure it out on there own." My eyes had perked with questions filling my head and i hear a loud slap and then mother had started weaping and with that my ears has deseaved me, maybe not but i hope they had diseaved me and i was wrong.

                    ~ Chapter two ~
The day after they had spoken mother stayed in the room and refused to speek to me or lillian, i was currious as to why she would deny her children access to her presences. I had too it appon myself to go to the vents for answers again, i had crawlled threw the small entrence and pressed my body threw finnaly ariving to the right vent, i look threw the mettal slots and see my mother nursing her eye and weeping softly to herself, i look admonished and take a closer look at mother and a coin rolls out of my pocket making a loud clink, she looks in my direction in shock and i finally see her eyes together but one is bruised fermly aroun the socket, i sillently nake my way back to my room to avoid gards or unnecessary maids, i jump down and lay flat on my bed with a soft sigh pressed past my lips and stand again to had perch myself at the edge of my window sill and two ravens had flown past the sill and one had landed on the other half of my window sill, my eyebrow had cocked at it looking confused and enlightened that i finaly had company, someone who i could talk to about the things that had happened in this castle but the question still remains "what is the secret mother and father had been discussing?". 

I start looking at the small bird and mumble "kurro" i had given the bird a name and it jumped twice and perched on my thigh and chirped twice trying to notify me of something, it flew off in panic as my door nob jiggled as a gaurd had wanted to asure i wasnt still asleep, he perks his long narow nose threw the crack of my double doors, and watches me franically flailing his arms and yelling to step away from the window or something, bla bla bla ill tell your father or something.  I get down away from the 500 foot drop into the cemented snow and close my window with ease and the male turns and sighs looking away from me "your father would have a cow if he knew you were doing that" i mumble and looks him in his dark eyes solidly and walk to him with a stern look and say  "why do you bother with that ignorant fool, He is usless and a drag on the family name ." I blink and turn away to walk back to my window where my bird friend had still vanished from.  The gard in shock starts telling and paused mid sentence and says "breakfast is ready your highness" and walks out in confusion, I sit on my bed for a few minutes looking at the window and kurro hadnt returned yet and i get up to walk to my door, look back at tge window and open it slightly as i hear the gards words echo in my head i leace to go to the kitchens area to reserve two eggs and a pancake with a toast for the mysterious bird that i had oddly connected with.

Sitting at the brakefast tabble without my mother had felt oddly sillent exept for my annoying little sister smacking her gums on a sticky pancake and ther chomping the frozen sausage, i get fustrated that mother haddent taught her manners yet she is only 7 or 8 but still she acts like a damn troll! I snap and shout " Lillian! Chew with your mouth shut it your disterbing my peace and quiet!" And sit down back in my chair, fathe gives me the side eye as i know im about to get a scolding for being rude and inpolite. Father starts to open his full mouth that was stuffed with his greased up sausages that wouldn't fill his pitt belly if he ate a thousand and he starts the lecture "Be nice to your sister Arthur! Why are you so ignorant! Go to your room!"  how is it that she is the princess but acts like a troll and gets rewards but the few times i act up i get punished i think to myself and slip the toast to the side of my thigh so father wouldn't see itb iwalk to my room angered and storm past the long nose gaurd that thinks he can barge in when ever he please, i open the double doors to see kurro has returned, i look dtartled and my mood changed compleatly and i hand the raven the puece of toast and step back to watch it carefully.

                 ~Chapter three~
"Why um.. Hello there kurro" the birds head pops up at me and i blink twice so it understands i wont hurt it, i sit at a near by chair and observe the small birds slight movements, it jumps twice and flys into my closet as i hear a maid in the room over telling another made two more maids went missing the night before and my jaw drops in awe, i think to myself and wait for them to continue but another voice pops in the conversation, soundd like the long nosed gaurd that always has something to say,i step away from the wall and look at the raven and it nibbling the toast intge closet "hmm?" I mumble as i watch it, thats twice this raven has tryed to warn me of long nose, why though?".

I lay on my bed and the two maids and the nosey gaurd all have stoped speaking, kurro flys out and nuzzles me i believe its his way of saying thank you for breakfast? Or his head itches im not sure yet, i notice a gold band around his left foot, its like a tiney bracelet but why is it wearng a bracelet? I guess kurro wants to be fancy, chuckling to myself as i hear footsteps above my head they sound like four kids chaising eachother above my head but the steps are to clost to be childern, a few raccoons i suppose?"what  is it kurro?" Kurro pecks at me and flys to the door wanting me to leave,  as told and grab a small pouch for him to hide in as i sneek past the gaurds, long nose eyeballs me as if i had a secret to keep hidden.
