I opened my eyes drowsily, rubbing away the sleepiness as a loud solid knock rang at the door. I shot up, even though I still had a prominent bed head I trudged over to the door with a groan. I opened it expecting to see Archer standing in the doorway begging me to fly to the sea for a beach day, instead to my shock a small delicate looking winged woman stood at my door. She had short blonde hair that fell to her shoulders pleasantly, her amethyst eyes cheerful and round. The woman wore a purple button down shirt and a darker purple pair of shorts, the shirt had golden buttons and collar accents; the outfit customarily worn by royal postmen. She pulled a letter out of her bag, the envelope was a deep purple color with a golden stamp with the royal crest pressed into the wax. I gasped and carefully accepted it from her hands thanking her happily. I shut the door and plopped into the floor in front of it. I quickly opened the letter, although extremely careful not to damage the stamp because I definitely wanted to save the beautiful adornment. I pulled out a folded piece of paper delicately and set the envelope to the side, I swiftly opened and unfolded the expensive looking paper scanning over the words at lightning speed. My wings fluttered happily as the words sank into my brain, I was going to be living with royalty! The letter read:
Dear Amilla,
After muc speaking with the king he has decided to allow you, Archer, and one other to live within the castle walls. He did ask me to inform you of a few details, so i suppose i should get to that. First, Tom will be giving you a tour of the castle accompanied by a royal guard. Subsequently, my brother David will be in charge of interviewing the three of you separately in order to form an idea of how trustworthy you are; hopefully he finds you three acceptable. Lastly, i will help you all with your bags, although it's usually servant work being friendly is always a good thing. A bed and room have already been prepared for you, it's quite big actually. Hope you enjoy the space, I made sure you had the room with the best view actually.
A carriage will arrive at your home in approximately one day after this letter finds you. Be sure to pack quickly!
Sincerely,
prince and second oldest of the royal family
William.
I smiled brightly and started packing everything that I needed which included: all of my clothes, all of my shoes, and all of my special items such as collections, books, and journals. I rushed around my home grabbing things that I might need, even though I would be living in an extravagant palace that was bigger than I could imagine with probably a secret passage or something. I still grabbed all of my belongings that I could fit into the bags and chests that I owned. I looked around the almost completely barren home peering into my room staring at the now blank walls, I slipped away from the door frame and walked around the living room and kitchen. I was going to miss this place but I had more opportunities in the royal life I was sure.
