The Engagement Arrangement » Places

         Alaric nodded "I see. I forgot my parents are coming too.... My father is like your mother.. And I'll let your mother know you are no helpless princess... And I'd have you no other way." He kissed the tip of her nose and grinned "Do not fret my love. You are a woman now. Whatever your mother says you do not have to comply unless you want to." He said.

Amina watched Alaric nod then say "I see. I forgot my parents are coming too....my father is like your mother...a and I'll let your mother know you are no helpless princess...and I'd have you no other way."he kissed the tip of her nose and grinned as he said "Do not fret my love. You are a woman now. Whatever your mother says you do not have to comply unless you want to." Amina smiled and felt a little nervous 'Well I hope his parents like me....'she thought before saying "Thank you...I am happy to get to meet your parents...but let's not tell my mother about last night..that is a argument I do not want to have with her.…"she imagined her mother's face all stern as she would lecture her and her own face would be one of boredom as she had been told these things a million times and cared less with each one she looked into Alaric's eyes happily glad to have met someone who actually liked her for her.

         Alaric was helping azerius with packing since he was taking so damn long. They packed in silence " Azerius, what do you think about arranged marriages?" Alaric asked leaning against the bed Azerius looked at him " I guess its okay. I personally wouldn't like it " he said. Alaric grunted and took his shirt off going threw one of the bags he put on a simple white shirt some of his chest showing. "Done packing." Azerius said. Alaric nodded, grabbed a bag and they headed toward the carriage. He threw his bag on top and then said " I will be right back." He had forgotten his sword in his hadte. He ran to the rose garden and there it was. A sword made of the finest steel the sharpest blades in all the land the hilt had a dragon head at the end. He smiled and sheathed it running towards the carriage. Once close he jumped in with a laugh. He decided not to say goodbye to his parents, they wanted him gone. He opened his journal and began to write.

         Amina looked at the floor as she packed with Sara she looked at her and asked "Do you know anything about prince Alaric?" Sara looked at her and said " Well my lady..from what I hear he is very handsome, kind, a fine swordsman, and is a skilled life mage.." Amina had cried before, but only at her mothers emotionless dismissal she was actually kind of excited to meet this Alaric and only hoped he was kind, and would accept her for who she was 'Maybe we can practice sword fighting..or ride through the castle grounds...oh I how we can find love..I'm just afraid we will be like my parents..they are only together at formal affairs, but they hate each other I want a happy marriage..'she thought and then she saw Elsa sitting on the bed "Sara please go have some lunch...or pack your things I'll finish up here"Amina said Sara complied with a quick nod Amina looked at Elsa, and said "Hello Elsa how have you been lately.." Amina saw Elsa's worried stare and heard her soft voice "Are you sure you are ok...the others are worried they don't want you to leave I am the only one who is allowed to follow you..they all will miss you dearly..ever since your mother stopped listening you are our only connection our only friend.." Amina looked at Elsa and said " I am fine now Elsa..and I love all of you very much..I don't want to leave everyone, but if I don't many will die..." She saw the other ghosts slowly drifting in and around her bed they all looked sad she said to them softly "To all my shadows...I love you and when I leave I will miss you greatly please find yourselves a happy place and move on.." she watched them as they slowly sat down and and some cried at her leaving she sighed and finished her packing by tieing her third bad closed she picked them up and waved goodbye to her shadows as Elsa followed her as Amina reached opened the door a servant said "Oh my lady I will very those!" as he picked up the bags for her she said softly "Thank you...please bring them to the carriage.." Amina walked to the throne room and saw her father on his throne sh curtsied and said "Hello father.."she heard him say quietly "Amina now is not the time for hiding emotions.. please come here my lovely little girl.." her father stood and walked towards her Amina walked briskly to him and they caught each other in a warm embrace she said softly tears in her voice "I love you daddy..please don't forget me, and help the shadows they are going to be lost without me.." he hugged her back and said "I love you to darling, and I will never forget you or let the shadows become lost...but you must go now or risk being tardy.." Amina stepped away from her father and walked to the carriage her mind racing she saw Sara waiting for her as she climbed into the carriage and watched the door shut she watched her home grow smaller and the country side drift by slowly she fell asleep.
