Princess Aria

Little Princess

Aria's Point of View 

"Aria look at the target and let the arrow do its work" he said and I felt myself smile and looked at a man with long hair and a beard. All I saw was the arrow release from my hand and hit a red mark  square in the center. I hear laughing and cheering and turn around  and see maybe 12 more I think men with Beards and I wave at them as the laugh at the other man standing next to me

"Ha Ha You got bet by  a ten year old Killi!"  One of them shouts and Killi just shrugs 

"Beginner's luck. Also this is just for fun" He says and they continue to laugh and I laugh with them

"Princess. Time to wake up" Sworen says softly but I just groan

"Aria" He says a little louder and I move my sheets over my head still with my eyes closed

"If you don't get up this instant I shall release my wrath" He says and I  still don't get up

5 more minutes

"You asked for it" he said and I heard him fly away and it was nice and quite again. I hear the door but I'm to at peace to care. 

"Hmmm I wonder where my sweet Aria is? Is she hiding from me?" I hear him and I open my eyes stunned and completely regret not getting up right away but to late

I really hate you sometimes Sworen

I hear him walk around the bed and I have no clue what I should do

"Is she here" he says and pats on one side of the bed and walks to the other side where I am. I move the sheets a little so I can see him and he has his back to me

"Where o Where is my Aria?" he says and I smile and make a small giggle. He turns but doesn't see me at least that's what it looked like

"I guess she's not here" he says and turns again and I giggle and he turns back quickly and tickles the sheets and move them around till he finds me and I move away from his fingers laughing 

"Ada stop... no...." I yell and get out of bed and run across the room with him chasing me. He laughs and grabs me from behind and picks me up

"There you are" He says and turns me around so I could face him with my arms around his neck. I look into his blue eyes and smile at him. He smiles back 

"A little birdie told me you didn't want to get up this morning" He says and I pout and he smiles and kisses my cheek 

"Come now its time for breakfast" He says and puts me down and a maid comes in and bows at us

"I'll meet you down stairs" He says and the maid goes to my closet and pulls out a small light blue dress with small white trimming. She helps me into it and ties it up in the back then combs my hair and makes two brads and connects them on the back of my head.

"Thank you" I tell her and she nods and walks out. I walk toward the door but then I hear something at the balcony door and I turn and see Sworen peeking his beak at the clear glass. I hoff and let him in frowning at him

"What?" He says and I roll my eyes

"You know what your so mean" I tell him and he grins

"Well next time wake up when I tell you" He says and flies to my arm and we both walk down the stairs and I find the dinning room where Father and Grandfather are sitting down for breakfast. My Grandfather looking proud and almost powerful in his own way. They both smile at me and Sworen flies to a small branch to begin to eat his own breakfast

"Good Morning my little white flower" My Grandfather says and I bow and smile at him

"Good Morning Grandfather" I tell him and I look at my Father

"Good Morning Ada" I tell him and sit at the table both of them on either side of me

"Leling I thought today we could try archery today, after all your 37 years old and thats the age I started to learn. What do you think?" he asks and I put a small piece of toast in my mouth practically swallowing it  whole

"I'd love to Ada" I tell him and think about my dream

I wonder if I'll be as good in my dream

"Aria" My Grandfather says and I startle a little 

"Yes?" I ask him and he gives me a small smile

"I was saying that you must be careful. You don't want you to hurt yourself" He says and I nod

He hardly ever approves of anything I do outside of the palace let alone the kingdom       

"Yes Grandfather" I tell him and my father gives me a silly face without my Grandfather looking and I smile and make a soft giggle.

"Does something humor you" My Grandfather asks looking at me curiously but serious. I shake my head

"No I was thinking to myself" I tell him and eat some more salad and he nods

"Did you sleep well" He asked and I nod

"Yes. I actually had a dream about archery" I say cheerfully and Father smiled 

"Really I had one like that once, what was it?" He asked 

"It was in a field and I hit the center of the target and some men with beards cheer me one it was fun" I tell them and my Grandfather chokes on his drink and Father looks a little nervous and uneasy 

"Forgive me I meant no disrespect" I tell them both and my Father shakes his head

"No you have nothing to be forgiven for. It's just we were not expecting such a strange dream" he said having trouble to put words together. My Grandfather looks at my Father with a Strange upset look on his face but my Father shakes it of

"Why don't you and Sworen wait for me in the grand hall" He says and I nod and walk out with Sworen flies behind me. When the door closes I look at Sworen as he lands on my shoulder 

"Did I say something wrong?" I ask him as we walk down the hall

"No. Nothing they are just........a bit......strange...today thats all" he says

"Alright I guess if you say so" I tell him
