I'm headed to the arena where they practice around this time of the day. It only takes about 5 minutes to walk there although people say the palace is huge. I don't really think it's huge because I don't know what average is. The only place I've known is this palace, my home. That is why to me this is average and what other call average is too small for me and my needs. I'm headed to the arena where they practice around this time of the day.
I walked into the big arena and saw Gemini sparring with Doom. Gemini's blonde hair was loose, which is not the cleverest or most the common thing to do while fighting, but her blonde, sparkly hair gives her balance. That is at least what she tells me, her best friend.
She is really tiny and Doom is a bigger lady, not obese, but bigger thighs, breast and way taller than Gemini. Judging by the weight difference most people would assume that Doom is way stronger and that Gemini wouldn't stand a chance against her, but Gemini is a true warrior. With her warrior heart she can defeat Doom easily and probably without even being touched by Doom's blade.
Gemini fights with two 30 inch daggers because according to her it is the greatest weapon. You can through them, stab with them, connect them together so they turn into a two-sided sword and use it as a tool on the battlefield.
In this fight she was using the daggers separate and Doom was using a spear and a shield. Two different tactics, both equally useful, but it depends on the one that holds the weapon not the weapon itself.
I watched the fight and observed their strategies. Gemini ended up succeeding as I figured. Why don't I fight as well? Warrior princess must be even stronger than both Gemini and Doom, well I'm not allowed to by my father. Not even because I'm a princess, princesses are allowed to fight and usually lead the war as generals for the alpha king. My father says the gods have other plans for me, but I think it's just an excuse to prevent me from risking my life. He could never bear loosing me, but my brother is taking over the throne so he has to learn to fight.
I'm only allowed to fight my brother because I need learn to be able to fight, but I don't know why I can only fight him and no one else."Luna! I'm so happy you're here!" Gemini yelled from across the arena. She was standing by the gear and I was standing in the entrance, which are two completely different sides of the massive room, so everyone there could hear her. Doom looked at me with a judgmental stare. She has been Gemini's friend forever, but for some reason she never liked me. Like seriously, that girl HATES me. I've never done anything to provoke her she just doesn't like me and that's cool. Everybody don't have to like me, but it is hard for Gemini to choose between us.
As she was walking towards me carrying her daggers, trust me if I weren't her friend that sight would have been terrifying. I know what she is capable of with her tiny body and her angel-like blonde hair. With a weapon she goes from the blonde angel to Satan himself. Anyway, as she was walking towards me Doom's look of hatred turned into a look of pure jealousy.
Her skin is matted and caramel dark, her hair is raven black and she had naturally gorgeous eyebrows. She is beautiful, but not clearly not confident in herself because if anyone talks to Gemini she gets jealous and concerned about Gemini ditching her.
"Your hair looks bomb, honestly. I believe Emerald is behind this, what for?" She asked and blew a curly piece of hair out of her face. I always talk about her hair because it is angelic and perfect. Truly a gift from the gods.
"Yeah, I'm going to this dinner party to meet this handsome prince of Methone." I answered. She looked quite shocked. "Oh my Luna, you're meeting Asteroid? You are so lucky! He is so handsome and so nice to everyone and he uses daggers when fighting, just like me!" She sounded like Emerald, but it is unusual for Gemini to talk about boys like that."Who is meeting Asteroid?" Doom asked with her spear still in her hand, I'm not joking, that is a really scary sight. Before I could answer her Gemini did it for me. "Luna, she is going to marry as well" Doom looked confused and weirded out. "Congratulations, I guess." It was all overwhelming. I tried to explain the situation better to Doom. "No, I'm not marrying anyone for sure." Gemini looked confused with her light brown eyebrows raised. "Yes you are, you have to! He is perfect and you will like him!" She said, all at once. Doom smiled because of how stupid Gemini looked. "I promise you, Lu!" She added. Doom and I were laughing at this point. "Why don't you marry him, Gem?" Doom eventually asked. "I would if I could, but I'm a fighter, a warrior. I cannot marry a royal alpha prince from another pack with light curly hair and green eyes with manly, but well-groomed eyebrows, and those muscles..." She dreamed herself away until Doom interrupted "Okay, that is enough. We don't need to know more about his muscles."
"Luna, I have your dresses! Come choose one to wear, we are leaving soon, darling!" Emerald said as she walked towards us."Yeah, princess. Go put on your thousands of dresses I chose for you to be the fairest of them all." Doom said, passive aggressive, but Gemini didn't see the aggression in it and laughed with her, so I laughed too.
