Year after year, the twins grew and grew, one maintaining her purity, the other losing it wherever she went. As their old woman started her departure, the girls found themselves leaving home more frequently than ever; Water Girl to fetch food and water, Fire Girl to escape the quiet rantings of the woman she now called mad. One of the days they were out, the king's son was riding in town to collect men for the draft. The girls were unaware of this fact, as their home was far from the busy square. Fire Girl was surprised to see a noble man out, but Water Girl was in utter shock. She heard the stories of his kindness and generosity. Being four years her senior, she doubted he would take a second glimpse, so she quieted her thoughts and went along her ways. Fire Girl, being her power-craving self, set her charming personality of the prince, batting her eyes, covering her mouth as she giggled at every word. The prince found her too shallow, although she did have a beauty that no one could deny. Soon, his eyes found Water Girl making small talk to a local merchant about bread. The bright pink lips and the deep blue eyes with long brown lashes is what the twins had in common and what attracted most people. But it was Water Girl's long silver hair that caught his immediate attention. It was a notable difference to Fire Girl's light gold locks. What made the lasting impression, however, was Water Girl's shyness, her calm and humble demeanor. And as soon as their eyes met, of course, it was true love. He approached her cautiously, and introduced himself as Gregory Whiffthrop Grantered of Azhoria, Prince Royale. He was thoroughly supposed when Water Girl introduced herself as Water Girl.
"Ah, but my lady, what is your name?" he asked with a smile.
"Why, why I do not know! That was the name I was born with, that is the name I am called. Perhaps it is possible to not have one?" she replied.
"Very well. Perhaps on the way to the palace you shall pick a new one."
After chatting for several hours with the girl, he let her be and warned her to expect him back in her litlle town so that he may take her back to his palace and declare her as his wife.
