Athena

Gone Fishing

As Athena walks out the door, "Remember what I said, now we'll talk later when you return." said the king   "Sure father," she replied    Tatura noticed the sadness that showed clearly on Athena's face.

"Don't worry child.  Your father is just doing what's best for you," she said as she helped her on her horse.  "I just believe it's not fair.  But now I realize, life, this world that we so much love is filled with people that made stupid rules to get what they want.  Everything is just for their benefit." Athena replied as the others climb on their horse and they all proceeded to ride to the river to fish.

When they finally arrived, Tatura and her brothers began to prepare the fishing rods.  Athena breathes in the fresh air, as she admires the beauty of the river.  Jack, Tatura brother handed Athena a fishing rod ready with bate.  "Here you go, have fun," he said   He then walked away picking up his rod and tossing the birdie into the river.

Athena saw what he did and did the same thing, then she gave him a friendly smile. She was about four feet away but she was able to see him clearly.  The quiet of the river was very relaxing to them.  Then as Athena glance into the bright blue wonderful sky, "Why should I do what they want me to do.  Why should I marry just to please my father?  I don't know anymore, nor I care I must say.  I don't want to get married to a stranger nor prince.  The day that I marry, it will be for love. But right now I'm too young, for my father is wrong.

I won't marry I say, I won't marry anyway. I'll run and I'll hind until father changes his mind.  For 

I'm not ready, I'm too young to understand, but I knew that  I'm running away the moment I get the chance.  I will marry for love, even if father complains, I'm not giving up.  You better believe that I'll marry when I'm ready the decision is mine, not anyone else.

I won't marry I say, it doesn't since, I want to go out and see a lot of the world, not bare many children while I'm a little girl.  I won't marry I say and I'll say it again.  I won't marry the father, and I'm sorry about that." Athena sang those words aloud,  "Fine, I heard you, you won't marry, now all you have to do is to tell your father." said Tatura   "That's going to be a problem." replied Athena when suddenly her line began to move.   "My dear, I think you got one," said Jack as he helps her bring the line in and grab the fish off the line.    Athena went to grab the fish, "Hey, what are you doing?" he muttered, I wanted to see how a fish feels." she replied   "You know what your father said.  Maybe next time you can do that but, for now, we need to head back and get you all ready for that dinner party." said Tatura.  

"Do we really have too? It's peaceful out here."  said Athena   "Move it girly time to head back." said Tatura   They began to put the fishing supplies away, hopped back on their horses and headed back to the castle.

Tatura boarded the boat once all the fish and supplies were in their right place.  Athena glanced around, thinking of an excuse to prolong them from leaving.
