Snippet #1026395

The journey felt like an instant, time flashing by. Soon Kai could see the White Castle and the people milling around excitedly. Kai slowed his stallion to a trot as he and Darius entered through the huge iron gates passing carriages full of men and women. Many of them smiled and greeted Kai with nods or gestures of aknowledgement, he was the crown prince of the Earth Kingdom after all, it was expected. Darius accepted every gesture with a nod of his own head knowing that Kai would not. It wasn't that he was rude it was just many of these people were much lower in rank than him.
And that he's arrogant of all Fire Kingdomers Darius thought with a chuckle. He was really looking forward to the meeting with the Fire Kingdoms prince.
'The princesses of Air and Water, do you know their names?' he asked.
'No.'
Darius sighed. 'Well it will make a good conversation starter anyway.'
Sometimes he thought Kai would rather be a soilder than a prince.

Kai dismounted and handed his horse to a stable boy at the same moment a white carriage went past. Darius whistled. Even Kai could understand why. The girl inside had been beautiful. He was trying to bite his tounge and complete the ball as quickly as he could feeling it useless as there would never be peace. Now he had an up side to his night. If there were other girls that pretty he might have quite a pleasent distraction from the torment caused by the prescence of the subjects of the Fire Kingdom.
'Shall we?'
He waved a hand casually towards the marble steps. Darius nodded and the two men entered the White Palace.
