THE REALM OF MAETAS

LIGHT TO MY DARKNESS

Arthur's POV:

Left strike.............right strike

Down strike ................and he lost

I smirked as I defeated my best friend, Thiago. He just rolled his eyes and retracted his sword, put it back in the sword carrier, and said'' yeah, yeah keep smirking one day you will lose yourself to someone''.

There he goes again with his hopeless romance.........anyway let me introduce myself

I am Prince Arthur Charles II of Amphoria. Thiago is my best friend, he has always been there for me even when my brother ..anyway I was the second son of King Charles and queen Rosaline, but now I am their only son like my father says. I never talk much, I like to keep to myself but Thiago is an exception. I was once the charming and carefree prince but when my brother Damon passed away I just turned into a cold and emotionless person.

My father the king has never been a father to us he has always been busy with his duties and only cares about public image. My brother Damon was the obedient one, he always listened to dad and lived by his rules, but he fell in love with a maid and that was enough to start the war in my house. Damon eloped with the girl, Rose and after that we never heard of them. We heard rumors that Damon lives in a village but my father was drowned in his ego and never tried to find him.............I still remember what he said to me before leaving'' love is blind but also helps you see the truth''

I was thinking about Damon and did not hear the maid call out to me a s it was time for breakfast. I walked through the long halls lined with knight statues and walked into the room that has an aura of royalty. I see my mother and father waiting in silence, I say'' good morning mother and good morning father'' my mother smiled warmly and said'' good morning darling '' my father just nodded his head in acknowledgement and I sighed just another day at the palace...

We were having our breakfast in silence i when my father spoke'' Arthur, the Duke and Duchess are visiting today, the day after winter solstice, you shall be getting engaged to Lady Vanessa, and make sure to prepare a guest list and hand it to the advisor ''

 By the time my father finished speaking I was fuming '' I am getting married! Did you bother to ask me if I wanted this, no I don't father. I don't want to wed Lady Vanessa'' his father glared at him and spoke'' I have already spoken to them and it is decided, and there won't be any changes, we have to start preparing it is only 2 months to solstice''

I fisted my hands got up with so much force and walked away ignoring my mother's plea. I went to the stables took out my horse and rode to the lake. I reached the lake, left my horse in the forest and walked down to the shore and settled down on the bank.

The lake was the most serene and beautiful place of Demeter, it is also where I used to spent time with my brother, he was my best friend and the only father figure in my life and when he left, I was broken and lost from the inside. Though there is one thing my father doesn't know,

Thiago is my ambassador, he represents me in meetings or gatherings that happens in faraway villages. He is always travelling and that is why wherever he goes I ask him to enquire for my brother and his family.

I haven't heard from him since he left , I am hurt that Damon did not trust me enough to let me know but I guess time passed and I turned cold and emotionless

I was lost in my thoughts, but then I heard your melodious voice. Your voice sweet and melodious, in my distressed state you voice soothed me, calmed me and gave me reassurance that everything will be okay. I swiftly got up and started following your voice

Oh little one, I know it hurts bad

With time it shall heal, oh you poor thing

Stay still by my side and I'll sing you this song

By end of this note, you will be fine

The waves crashing down the shore of the lake

All birds sing along, to this short song

I will be there for you, when you're in pain

I sing you this song and you will be fine

And then I saw you, there you are on your knees tending to the wound of my horse I barely noticed due to the turn of events. Your long brunette hair silky and lustrous unlike any other princess of this realm. You wore a washed out gown, your milky and smooth pale white skin that peeks through your hair that covers your neck and a flower adorned in your hair, beautiful

And unlike any flower I have ever seen. It only adds to your beauty

I was captivated by you and your voice, it gave me an unknown feeling. My heart is calm and quiet away from the disturbing and depressing thoughts, I forgot that I was just standing and gazing at you but then suddenly you turned around and then I knew you would be the light to my dark world........................
