Nathan reached out his fingers dug into my waist before lifting upwards, legs drawled at each side I rubbed the rough scales on the animal's head.
It inhaled water loudly, the golden tail flipped like a propeller ready to take off in any given second.

The Water Prince followed my movements and jumped on the other goldfish with ease.
"Just hold onto the fin, and don't worry it will never throw you off." Nathan answered my uprising thoughts in an instant. He then whistled once again and the aurous creatures begun our ride.

We swam in silence, the Water Prince at the front. "Are we seeing much of the Water Kingdom?" I inquired loudly so that Nathan apprehends. He glanced over his shoulder briefly, "Maybe some other time. But for now I just want to get to know you better."

"Is that so, Prince Nathan?" I let out, my eyes wandered off to his strong back. Water Elementals were far more tanned than my kind, since they were far more exposed to the rays of the heating sun. Speaking of the sun, my skin started to ache slightly and we've only been here for an hour.

"Mmhm." The Water Prince clickef his fingers once, the goldfish I wad sitting on, swam faster now right beside Nathan. There was no reason other than he has done that on purpose.

"So what do Water Elementals think of my kind?" I introduced the question, pushing a step behind the last subject. Nathan glanced at me briefly from the corner of his bright cobalt eyes.

"Very mannered, intelligent and...beautiful." He stared at my face the longest and for one second I turned away looking at the contrasting horizon. It was no secret Ice Elementals were classed as the most alluring amongst other Elementals. So the fact that Nathan found me appealing was not a surprise.

"Is that what you heard or what you think?" I whispered, unruffled at the dry silence that followed. Like I said, attraction means nothing when its the appearance that interests you.

"Both." Prince of Water dipped his hand into water with a gentle smile. I continued to observe Nathan while he did that for a while, until our transport stopped. Feeling perplexed I looked down and a cold wave covered my body, which ended me gasping from the bone chilling temperatures.

"You honestly had to do that?!" I snapped, my shoulders tensed at the clothes that clinged like glue to my pale skin.
Seconds later the sensation faded away, my body naturally adapted to frigid temperatures. I peeked down at the white dress that was now transparent, displaying my lacy underwear and bra. My hands wrapped securely across my waist, hiding the view.

"No. But ocean did seem to get a like of you." The Prince stated with a unwavering smile that brought a scowl to my face, fast. I convinced myself to play along, this was my card to knowing the truth.

"Pervert." I muttered quietly noticing how Nathan looked straight ahead with a glad smirk. For the next few minutes I remained quiet, wanting to call the guards so they deliver me home, but there was a problem. We were in a completely different Kingdom, where guards would only obey the Water Royals.

"How does getting ice cream sound?" The dark haired Prince suggested making my eyebrows drop in suspicion. It was hard to tell if he indirectly tried to mock my wintry nature or just found my behaviour amusing. "Do they actually sell ice cream here?" I struck and he shook his head a 'yes'.

"We're on the boarder with Ice Kingdom." As soon as he finished the sentence to our view appeared a small village that hid behind the mahogany mountains, the wooden houses appeared with their civilians dressed in light-weight clothes. They all had cobalt blue eyes which sparkled with shock once they settled on me.
