Once Upon A Servant

My master and king was headed to the neighboring kingdom Rown. And as his maidservant I was ordered to accompany him. But I couldn't help but feel afraid as the turquoise water crashed lazily against the worn dock.

"Lira!" My master calls to me, shaking me from the grasps of my mind. I look up to my master on the ship named Constance. "Hurry up now would ya? Or is there a mermaid in the water?" He says smirking at me. "No sire, I think you scared it off." I reply will grabbing the last of the supplies and running up the ramp.

"Well that's too bad, would have loved to see a mermaid like you." He says as I set the last supplies on the deck. "If I were a mermaid I would be in the ocean far away from here. Might even be in Atlantis Your highness." I say putting my hands on my hips as my baby blue dress swayed in the wind.

He chuckles, "Well a lovely mermaid you would be Lira."

I smirk and follow him to the bow of the ship. His long and curly, brown hair blows in the wind slightly as he stands there while Constance begins her journey. He strokes his scruffy beard and I see his emerald green eyes twinkle with delight as we see a pod of dolphins pass by.

Even the scar on his cheek doesn't take away my master's beauty. And even though he denies it his hair brings out the green eyes and the little specks of grey within them.

And as the salty air of the ocean brushed our noses I still felt uneasy, that something bad was going to happen...
