Athena

Find My Daughter

Back at the castle, Tatura and her brothers had breakfast ready before heading out to fish the trot of the day.  When she saw the King walk into the breakfast room first.  "Good morning your majesty.  How do you feel?" she said as she bows and serves him his food.    "Thank Tatura, I woke up just fine.  Where is my daughter?  Did she oversleep?" he asked as he sipped a bit of his tea.

"Your majesty, it's stranger, she should have been down here by now.  I'll send my brother Jack to wake her right now."  Tatura replied with lots of concern.    "This is not like her, she up to something." she thought to herself as she yelled out the door,  "Jack get over here.  Get over here right now."  

Jack put down, his sandwich then said.  "What do you want,  I'm busy eating," Jack replied as he appeared at the door.  "Go up to the princess room and knock on her door.  Wake her up, it's nine thirty now.   If she's still sleeping, just wake her right up." Tatura replied as she filled up the plate with pancakes and sausage, the breakfast looked great.

King David ate his food as he waited for the princess with no worries at all.  Then Tatura sat down in the kitchen to eat, waiting for Jack to return to explain.

Jack walked through the castle halls.  Then up the stairway, to flights to the top.  He walked to her door, then knock very loud.  There wasn't an answer.   Jack got the concern.  He pushed on the door, which was opened not lock.   The empty bedroom gave Jack a big shock.    He ran inside looking everywhere.  "Princess Athena where are you.  Answer me, girl.  The king is not happy if you aren't at the breakfast table." he whispered and yelled as he then called her name.  Still, he did find her, nor had an answer.

Then the two birds twitter and flew to the window just glancing at him.  "Shuuutt bird, fly away, no birds are allowed."  Jack didn't realize they were trying to help out.

Then Jack finally realized, "Oh, no the princess is gone.  She has run away.  The king will flip when I tell him the news.  This silly child ran away like a fool."  he walked out of the room, heading back to the kitchen.  But this time he ran down the stairway, upset for the princess was missing.

He ran by the breakfast room where the king was sitting, "Jack, boy get over here, I need this minute."     Jack stopped running then replied to the king, "Give me a minute, your majesty please."  He proceeds to run into the kitchen then yelled.  "Sis I have bad news, and you ain't going to believe it.  Princess Athena is gone.  She's not in her room.  I think this time she ran away for good."

"Don't tell me that!  You kidding me right?' Tatura replied, then almost passed out.  "No, this is not the time to sleep, get back up and go tell the king," Jack said as he held Tatura up, her balance was a little bit off.

"Please you go tell him!" she replied with a stare.  The Jack her brave brother out the window he went.   "Later, I'm out." was all that he said    Went back to his sandwich, then sat on the hay.

"You chicken do run, get back here now.  I really can use my brother right now." Then when she turn and glance at her right.  The king was standing, right behind her all that time. "My daughter is gone?  Did I hear right Tatura?" was the first thing he said, then sat down and covered his face.

"Sir I'm sorry.  We will find her I know.  I send all my brothers, someone out there must know where she's at.  Don't worry your majesty we will bring your daughter back."  Tatura tired to comfort him, slowly calming him down.  He slowly stopped crying, then gave her a smile.  "Find my son. Give them whatever they need.  This is all fault.  Setting her life up.  She doesn't want to marry Theodore, that's while my daughter is gone." the king said    

Then someone walked in, "Excuse me, my King, did you mention my name?" Theodore said as he walked through the door.   The kind glanced up kind of surprise I must say.   "What are you doing here?" was what the king said.

"My people and I were heading back home.  I came by to say goodbye for good.  I'm sorry your daughter, change her mind about me.  But I must find a wife, for I'll soon be the kind of my country.  So, if you may tell, that I'm sorry that she found me so opposing and that I hope she does better." explained Theodore with a serious look.

"Guards!  Guards!  Seize him!" the king commanded.   "What is your problem?  Are you forgetting I'm a prince with power?" said Theodor as he stepped back, took out his sword ready to defend himself.
