Forbidden Love

At the heart of the two rival kingdoms liondell and caantru are the children born of royalty that have a forbidden affair.

Amelia:

Me and my family finally arrive in our golden adorned carriage too the monthly kingdoms ball where everyone of royalty from the eight kingdoms is invited. This month its in caantu, our sworn rivals.our families have been at a disagreement for centuries over a large piece of land that would bring a huge chunk of wealth to whoever possessed it. I gracefully walk through the entry way to their ballrooomm to be in awe of the dim, gorgeous lighhts and floral decorations on every surfaace available. My eyes dash around the room taking everything else in and following the dancing couples that race across the dance floor with the upmost elegance. Then my eyes land on him.

Darius.

I see him standing there in a fine deep blue attire looking as dashing as ever. Hess dark brown hair has neatly been combed back from its usual state of disssaray. After it feel like I’ve been string at him for tooo long i decide that it would be best if i made my way further into the room. As I gradually make my way in I get bombarded with suitors and other ladies my age anting to have a chattter with me. I decide to go with the lattter and take a suitors hand to dance. He wasn’t the best but not the worst, as it was still enjoyabl. I had floated and danced across the whole dance floor until the music came to a stop where i curtsied and hurried off before someone else asked for a dance. I make my way hastily to the corner of the room where shouldn’t be too noticeable as its behind a very beautiful and large plant.


Darius:

I stand here gazing across the whole dance floor and my eyes lan on her he most beautiful woman i have ever seen. She is dancing gracefully as ever over hee dance floor as her and her partner are going in, out and around others making it seem easy. When the music came to a stop i noticed her hurrying off as if her life depended on it which made me smile a little. I follow her figure with my eye as she weaves in and out of the non dancers,, dodging questions left and right where she finally makes it to a secluded corner. I decide to go over and get a word with her for once. As I approach her, she catches me with her eyes and I notice her lips slightly turn up iinto a smile.

“Hello there” i say strongly.

“Hello to you too, love the decorations, they are stunning” she replies while looking all over the ballroom.

“I know thank you, would you like to get some fresh air” i ask her politely while holding my hand out for her to take.

“You definite we wont be seen?” She asks nervously while trying too glance over my shoulder.

“Im sure just follow me” i say while turning around to start walking around the edge of the ballroom as to try and not get anyone’s attention as we try to get outside.


Amelia:

I follow Darius around the edge of the room dodging and stopping at the right people as to not get noticed or stopped to get questioned.
