Dawn of the new era

Chapter 1

A young boy is seen standing ideal in the castle walls glorious flower garden, under a full bloomed cherry blossom tree with a lively smile on his face, looking up beyond the endless ocean blue sky with no clouds in sight only the brilliant sun shining down upon him.

A tail wind pick up an imperceptible amount of air, causing an inconsiderable number of pedals on the cherry blossom tree to fall down off the tree. As the boy had been gazeing up towards the sky admiring the lovely nice weather that day, he notices the beautiful cherry blossoms pedals slowly fall down to him almost as if it were sparkling rain. The young boy looks all around him as the pedals starts to circle around the young joyous boy, as they fall it looked as if there dancing in the gentle wind. They softly waiver in the air the young boy smiles and puts his hands out in front of him, in  hopes of catching the falling fleeting cherry blossom pedals. The gust of wind starts to pick up once again and carries the pedals away from him, out of arms reach the boy watches with a disconsolate expression as the pedals fly away.

"Young prince!" A gentle voice is heard in a short distance, the young boy who was previously feeling down from the cherry blossom pedals flying away from him looks, in curiosity in the direction he heard a voice call out to him and finds an alluring woman looking around the age of 25. Her long wavy rose pink hair is tied back into a bun the only exception is her side bangs, the two long wavy strands of hair on both sides partially cover her face. Her bright blue flower ornament that she wears in her hair  greatly contrast with the color of her hair causing it to stands out clearly. 

The woman folds part of her kimono down and starts to keel down with both of her lags on the dirty rough ground siting in a sideways motion, with both of her arms out hinting for him to run into the embrace of a hug. The down expression that was on the boys face now completely vanishes replacing it with an overjoyed smile on his face. He starts to make a sprint to the woman with open arms and jumps into the warm embrace of the woman. As the boy now in her arms affectionately nestle the womans bosom, the heat of the burning sun alongside the warm tan, cotton of fabric of her royal purple kimono, faddily turning into a bright pink, lags down with flower decoration on the bottom of the kimono, the hug feels warm. As she hugs him he looks up to the womans endearing royal purple eyes, that look down on the boy with a caring smile on her face, the bright sun above her head she shines brilliantly the picture of elegance surrounds her along with a welcoming presence. "Mother!" The young boy shouts with a rejoiced smile. The mother holds the boy gently in her arms and places one hand on his head softly.     

"Now why are you out here by your lonesome without any castle guards or notifying me first? Theres many types of peoples out there its to dangerous to go out wondering around yourself dear" The mother explain in a concern tone looking downwards to the boy with safeguarding eyes." You need not worry mother i simply stole a glace from this beautiful weather today and wished to enjoy myself in such an act. I now realize the place of mine it was not, im sorry it was not to my intention to have worry fall upon you!" The young boy looks down in guilt with a pained expression painted on his face for causing his mother to worry. 

The mother with a forgiving smile gazes downwards to the sadden boy."

With those words the mother just mentioned the boy scans the horizon admiring the outdoor flower garden, the mother was right the boy gazes upon the many different flower types and colors, it looked like they were in a flower field standing alone in the middle of this wonderfully beautiful  flower garden stands a cherry blossom tree where they currently sit. It almost appeares like a dream like place you wouldn't want to wake up from.

If i could have another chance to allow you a normal life, where you could be free instead of forcing you to be restricted as such, i wouldn't hesitate to do so." The mother holds the boy tightly in her arms with sorrowful eyes.
