Abaylon ~ The Romance Of Rose

Things Starting Their Motion

~Rose's pov~

[I wonder if that place is still there in the garden.... Didn't we place a box with my locket in a hollowed tree all that time ago shortly after we met that first time?]

Thinking this she got up out of bed and moved to her closet.

Pulling out a short red dress with pretty black lace and matching cotton tights and shoes she got dressed. After tying a black bow in her hair she left her room.

Heading to that particular place she had in mind. Took her to the edge if the palace gardens.

Looking she found the old hollowed cherry blossom tree. Reaching far down onto the hollow her fingers brushed a wooden box.

Sitting back in her heels she pulled it out and placed it on her lap.

Brushing the dirt off of the glossy wooden box her fingers traced the initials on the box.

R. & J.

Rose and Julius " was what they stood for.

Opening the box a single locket sat in the box. A small silver oval on a silver chain.

Opening the locket was a small bundle of hair. Half silver and black hair and half dark black-brown like her own twined together.

Smiling she remembered when they both took small locks of hair to make this locket.

Closing the necklace she then put it on around her neck where it belonged.

Taking the box with her she began the long walk back. Not knowing that as soon as she put that necklace on made her dragon aware of her existence.

Not knowing that as she made her way back to her room that her dragon was waking up somewhere far far away.

Unknown to her that in the land of his people he awakens from a thousand year sleep. Waiting for her life cycle to return her to the world.

That he was now going to return to the kingdom where he had the greatest happiness and greatest sorrow in his long long life. That he was returning for her. And that this time when he returned he would never ever repeat hid mistake before.

Because before he entered his slumber for over a century. He vowed to protect her this time. That when he returned they would finally have their desired life together.

*Awakening*

Some where in a castle in the lands of Eon where dragons led supreme.

A young man slept in his bed. He had long black and silver hair. Black as inky night and silver as the moon glows when its full.

He has creamy peach skin with no flaws to be seen. His long body mostly hidden by the thick doublet on the bed. His head resting on a thick plump pillow.

The young man suddenly began to stir from his deep long slumber. His eyes opening the color of the deep sea and sky.

"She has come back....

I wonder.....

Shall we be able to live the way we were meant to this time?

Or

Will we be torn away like before?"

The young man murmured to himself looking at the ceiling or his room.

His voice like water but rich like honey. Sweet and alluring and special.

He got up out of bed and went to his closet. He pulled out one of his finer suits. Black pants and a white shirt the jacket black and gold. The outfit fit for a prince such as he.

He pulled a comb through his hair and then placed a small ring box in his suit pocket.

He then completed packing his things getting ready to set off to a kingdom he once thought would be his home. A kingdom where he fell so deeply in love that when he lost it he almost lost his mind as well. A kingdom he was sure he would never ever return to.

He prepared to return to this particular kingdom fir one reason and one reason only.

Because that is where she is now...
