WAVES OF DESTINY

ROSES ARE RED

KENNA

Naveen kept his promise, for the past few days he had been teaching me how to shot arrows, he is a very excellent teacher, He is about to shot the eighth arrow and I love how his muscles flex whenever he releases the arrow . I love spending time with my future husband but still don't know him much , Naveen is very private and rarely talks about anything, I specifically asked him to teach me archery so that we can get to know each other , bond a little,and yet we had not made progress for one week and I'll be married to this brooding gentleman in less than a week and he still refuses to let me see the man under his cold exterior.
"We are done for today , you can leave now " he murmured, I couldn't believe him ,he turned on his heels and
Just like that he left me again, he is a world class jerk does he know ? Asked my subconscious sarcastically.
"You know , if you want Naveen to warm up to you , you shouldn't be manly he likes his women more feminine."he turned to look at the speaker, He was y'all and handsome, but lacked manners, who does he think he is to talk to me like that ?, Men in these part of the world don't know how to be respectful towards a lady .
"And how would you know that ?."I inquired by raising my left brow a little trick I learned from my mother when she wants to sound intimidating.
"Because I grew up with him we are practically brothers at arms ."Aaah , Now I know were his attitudes comes from , they say birds of the same feather flock together.
"Okay...?"I retorted sounding sarcastic.
"Sorry , Am Lord Tristan but you can call me Tristan , I don't fancy titles."so he doesn't lack manners after all .hmmmm , tacky but nice.
"I guess I don't need to introduce myself you already know who I am."I sassed him , which earned me a look of annoyance.
"I heard of your beauty, I didn't now you were sassy too ."
"Well you don't get one without the other "
And I went to the stables to mount my horse and go for a ride , Sky joined me and we rode together, I missed sky but sadly my infatuation with him must end and yet I can't switch off this feeling of euphoria I get whenever am close to him, he is like my savior and lover but he treats me like his sister. The atmosphere became stormy and rain droplets were falling so we decided to head back to the castle, I was soaked when I reached the castle stables.
I went to my chambers to find rose had prepare my hot bath , I got into the tub and closed my eyes letting the sweet fragrance and the lukewarm water to soothe me .
I had been anxious since I got here , I still don't know my true purpose in this world . Is it my destiny to wed the son of mars ? , am still confused .

***************************************
I woke up again after experiencing the same nightmare, In my dream I was standing over a pool of blood and corpses as a beautiful woman held a scale before me and she keeps repeating the same words , "choose my dear , choose your destiny the world depends on you ".
I got off my bed and went to the balcony I saw Sky sitting under an apple tree so I went straight to the garden to speak with him , he was deep in his thoughts when I reached out to touch his shoulder, with reflex action he turned me around and pinned me to the tree .
"Ouchhhhhh" I hissed in pain
"What the hell are you doing out here ?."he muttered.
" I came to talk to you "
"About what ?, can't you wait in the morning to tell me ?."he sounded annoyed.
"I have feelings for you sky , I had loved you for a long time now ."I confessed even though I wasn't sure of my feelings.
"I don't know what to say "
"Say nothing l....l....l know I shouldn't say it but I needed to let you know before I sealed my fate in the next few days ."
"We can't be together Kenna , you know that "
" I know but I needed to get this off my chest "
I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him softly on the lips , I waited for a minute and he kissed me back fiercely this time and he pulled back.
" am sorry that shouldn't had happened "
He turned back and entered the palace without a single glance at me ,  I sat under the tree and started reminiscing the stories my mother used to read to me in before she tucked me into bed . The story of tree of fey the forbidden love,

As the story goes, the lord of  the castle of Ruktoff was a nobleman who lived in the safety of his castle and rarely comes into town until he held a ball on summers eve , that's when he saw her Avian Fey for the first time in his life was enchanted by Verona stark in a blue gown that matched her eyes with raven hair, they danced and danced till he stole her away and brought her out into his beautiful garden , they talked all night and he confessed his love for her under the pale moonlight as he sealed his declaration with a kiss . They kept seeing each other and having romantic intimacy until Verona's fiancé came back from his expeditions  , he heard from the townspeople of the illicit affairs between his future wife and the lord of Castle Ruktoff He stormed into the castle armed and found them kissing in the garden  , as Avian turned his back to him , Verona saw her fiancé aim his crossbow at Avian's back and she turned him around just in time to save her lover but not herself , she was shot in the chest with an arrow piercing through her heart she died that night and he buried her in the garden , a few years later he planted an apple tree next to her grave , he died a very sorrowful lonely death in his old age.

I went back to my bed chambers and laid on my bed , I just hope I don't have the same nightmares I had been experiencing since puberty, whenever I told my mother about it she dismissed it every single time I tell her about my strange dreams , what am I gonna do tomorrow morning after the stunt I pulled with Sky .
