The question brought her out of the deep thoughts that clouded her mind. How did this... Came to be? she wondered, it must have taken years! No, not years, eons!

The ocean, they indeed had it in the coasts of Apan, but it was something forbitted to her. She was ready to answer him, her lips parting as the words almost came out, "My father never allowed me to visit it." She would have said if it wasn't for him stopping it. Her head dropped slightly, it wasn't important. Of course, because the thoughts of a foolish young girl, a prisoner to add, weren't of importance. But then again, he left the quoestion slightly opened for her to reply. She didn't.

Behind her, the door opened. Looking behind her shoulder, she noticed one of the guards as he to speak of the Prince.

They shared a small conversation. The clouds were rolling in, thick and smoky gray. It didn't take too long before the guard was dissmised and she was left alone with him once again.

By that time, she had gone back to the falls, the upcoming no more of her worries. If she would be allowed to stay here for the rest of her life, she would not hesitate to accept it; this was more than she ever asked for, a beautiful beyond explenation.

"You name... What is it?" The question was out of the blue, as was the strong wind that wipped her long hair into her eyes. Pushing it out of her face, she placed it behind her ears, which didn't help much due to the continuing strong breeze.

After it managed to calm down, she let out a small sigh, turning to him, "Sakura... I must say I'm suprised you didn't know it by now, your highness."[/b] She would atleast have expected for him to read her name. It wasn't like she was a nobody truly, not even in this kingdom.

It was painful. That was the best word she could find as her gaze broke from the sight and she turned to once again return to the castle's protection.

Inside, the silence was overwhelming, such a difference between the strong crashes of the falls. She was left with nothing more than a "Here." In return, she gave him a small smile. not a show of teeth or a shine of eyes, but just enough to let him know she was thankful. Her face out there must have said more than words ever could.

The room was well-sized and furnished. She found a white cotton nightsuit and put it on after removing the white dress she had been given to wear. Folding it, she placed it on the right side of the matress at the top corner, the shoes at the foot of the bed. With one last look, she allowed herself to sink into the ocean of blankets and fall into a light, dreamless sleep.
