"Rhoswen...it is time to wake up your highness" a voice that sounded like a male's said.

A boy with hair like ebony that is long and shaggy. Opens his eyes slowly for them to adjust. As his eyes adjusted...he saw a man that seemed to be in his late forties.

He had silver hair that was put up in a bun, his eyes that are the color of jade, and wearing attire similar to a knight's. Rhoswen smiled and sat up in his bed.

"Hello Daru" Rhoswen said. Daru smiled back and said "Hello to you as well young prince". Then there was a knock on the door.

"Umm...excuse me but...I need to tend to the young prince's room?" a voice said in a sweet and soft voice. 

Daru looked at the door then back at Rhoswen. "Alright...after you talk to your mother come to the training grounds when you are able" Daru told him. Rhoswen nodded in response.

Daru opened the door and headed out as the maid walked in.  

She had cinnamon colored hair that is curly and was put up secured on the back of the head where it had a wavy feel as she walked. She also had violet eyes and was short about 4'9 ft.

"Good morning Tiny" Rhoswen said in a kind tone. Tiny smiled and went to work cleaning up his room. Then as he got out from his bed and yawned...Tiny gasped.

Rhoswen wondered what the matter was...then he realized. He wasn't wearing a shirt. So he looked around and found a  tunic on his dresser. "i-I'm sorry y-your m-majesty!" Tiny squeaked looking away.  

Rhoswen chuckled as he puts on his tunic. "It's quite alright" he told her. Then he touched her shoulder which made her blush even more. 

"i-I'll get t-to work" Tiny stuttered. Rhoswen nodded...so he bid her farewell and headed out the door. 

Rhoswen always promised Tiny that he would teach her how to read...since she never had the chance due to working in the palace since birth. 

Of what she told Rhoswen, she is a creature known as Xana or Xaninos, since she was the child of one . Since she her family couldn't take care of her...they sent her to the realm of the humans. 

Though she didn't stay long...she was five-years-old and was sent back to her home after the parents done a ritual involving egg shells to get their child back.

Then trying to find her family...she was taken in by a Fae couple who raised her. The couple were servants so she was one as well. 

And that is when she became a maid at the palace. Rhoswen was fond of her and thought of her as a friend. Which he hopes will stay that way...if he can help it.

 So he walks towards the hallway to his mother's bedroom where his mother often waited. She was standing out in the balcony looking out at the kingdom below. "Ves sunir my son" The Queen Tianna said happily.

"Ves sunir mother" Rhoswen replied then he bowed. He never dared say good morning or almost anything in human...since his mother wanted him to know the language he must learn when he is king someday. Which will help him understand his subjects.

"I want you to come to town with me later on after you are done with your training" Queen Tianna told him "If you don't mind of course".

Rhoswen looks at her and nods....he loved his mother but he was a little nervous of what would happen if he did say Bas. Last time someone made her upset...a goblin was beated pretty badly.

Queen Tianna smiled and walks towards him. She softly pats his cheek and says "Wonderful! Bir'kir my son". Then her wings start to buzz making an loud clicking sound.

She walked away and he heard the door close behind her. Rhoswen smiled as he saw the sun slowly coming up.

It was a new day...

And hopefully something new will happen...whatever that maybe
