I am riding my horse nearing the castle gates, the castle is huge many guards surround it.
I am the best warrior in the land, i come from a family with wings and i was raised as a warrior. Winged folks are known to have great skills in battles, often the ones winning. but those winged warriors are all men except me. But no one has to know that.
I cut my long blonde hair to make me look like a man. I wear tight wraps around my chest to hide it, i also wear mens armour. (obviously.)
My horses name is Clearence he has brown fur a white mane and a star on his muzzle.

I reach the gate and it opens. I slide off Clearences saddle and lead my horse inside holding his leash.
Im greeted by a service boy whom takes Clearance to the stables.
I look around nearing the doors. Its so beautiful. The castle looked even bigger upclose. I walk up to the door a guard looks at me. He nods and opens the door letting me in.
I look at the huge throne room and let out a small sigh when i see the king.
" Welcome to the Khaethia Kingdom!" the king shouts. " Greetings King Geraint" i say as i bow.
"Greetings Great Warrior Persephone!" he says in a energetic tone. "Please Accompany Me In The Dining Room" the King says, suddenly walking torwards a door on the right side of the throne room. I follow him quickly. We walk up to the door and a guard opens it for us to enter.
I am in Awe of the dining room. It is gigantic, atleast a Hundred people could fit in there. A red big carpet is set on the floor with Golden threads lacing the edge. There are big shanderliers made out of gold and Silver. The table is made of cherry wood with a beautiful engraving of a Swan in the middle. Its gigantic wings reaching all the way to both ends of the table. A big stained glass window on the right wall lets in sunlight.
the king must have noticed me staring. "It's Magnificent Isn't It?" the king speaks.
I nod in agreement. " it's Marvolous" i smile.
We both turn around when we hear the door open. There she was. the princess of Khaethia Kingdom, Aphrodite the woman i was sent here to protect. She is so beautiful. I cant take my eyes off her, but i force myself to calm down, and look at the king. " Aphrodite! meet the knight Persephone the best and fiercest Warrior in the land!"The king exclaims.
She looks at my wings in awe studying my black feathers. I walk over to her and kneel. I grab her hand and kiss the back of it gently. "How wonderful to be in your presence princess Aphrodite." i say in a calm manner. I rise to my feet and take a step back. "Greetings great warrior Persephone. May i ask you, why does such a handsom and manly knight as you have such a feminine name?" she looks into my eyes.
But i had prepared for this. "It is truly a burden. my mother always wanted a female child. So when i was born she had already decided on my name."I said with confidence.
She looked at my wings again." What colour wings does your mother have?" She asks. i look at her and frown slightly trying to hold back the tears. " She had white wings. they shined as bright as the moon at night reflecting on the ocean." I said in a low voice trying to hold back the memories of my mothers blood soaked wings as her eyes slowly closed as she was dying. I could not cry infronth of her.
