I had this great idea for a story so I decided to publish it on Gaia! I'll try to make a chapter a week, but for now I just have the characters...
Characters in chapter 1:
Akita (11yrs)
Kenji (12yrs)
Chapter 1
"Are you sure we should be this far from the castle, Kenji?" asked the timid Akita.
" It's fine, don't be a baby." Prince Kenji replied. The two children had wandered off into the forest to pick flowers. They had never explored this far before.
" I'm not a baby!" Akita said , carefully stepping over a rock.
" I know, I was only kidding..." He paused " Why do parents alway ruin everything?"
" What do you mean?" The young lady in waiting asked.
" My parents signed the agreement with your mother..."
" Oh..."
Ever since the king had been told by the doctor he had six years to live, he had started putting his affairs in order, including finding his son a wife so he could rule. He decided Akita would be the future queen.
" I..I'm sorry," She said, looking at her toes. She didn't know what to say. Akita liked Kenji an awful lot, but did she really want to marry him? And Kenji was acting so disapointed, was she really that bad a choice for a bride?
" Don't be," said Kenji " It's not your fault..." He was starting to feel embarrassed now. He realized Akita must be feeling the same way... " I just hate being pressured into this... I mean you must hate it too, but I..." he could feel himself turning red now.
" I understand..." Akita said, smiling but still looking at the ground. " And I don't completely hate it..." Now she was the one blushing. Kenji looked at her for a minute, then smiled, understanding. They walked back to he castle in silence wondering about he future...
To be continued... keep looking for Tales of Akita Ch. 2!
