Of all frustrations that could exist, this was the one that befell Ruby, who woke up to realize she was still dreaming.
"No, no, no ,no."
She rolled off her bed and slammed hard on the floor, picki
The king had planned an evening feast where nobles from other kingdoms and high ranking officials from his kingdom would gather to celebrate the princess' eighteenth birthday, they all knew the significance of the day.So it was. All the invited arrived and sat around a long table.
The foursome arrived at the rainbow river, they stood side by side on the humpback bridge, watching the evergreen rainbow river.
Heard from the princess' room was a loud scream that woke everyone on the highest floor of the palace.Dexter woke up from his sleep and heard the screams. He stumped out of his room following the handmaid's who had started to the princess' room earlier.

Ruby took her bag off and threw it under her bed, she took a long deep breath licking her lips briefly before opening the door. She made way for him and shut the door behind him. Dexter looked around the lamp lit room and Ruby jumped in front of him, making his gaze rest on her."I need your help."
They finally reached an opening that led to a compound. It was large and had two separate structures. One for a house and the other was a stable.The house was just a storey with a rail around it and four steps to the door.
Ruby stopped dead in her tracks, turning around slowly and developing her lie."I-I am off to the rainbow river." She lied.Mr Virou raised an eyebrow and a proud smile crept across his face.
Shortly, there was pandemonium as guards swarmed everywhere including the market. They went about asking everyone if they had seen the princess the previous night, or even that morning.One guard following an instinct approached Gypsy, who prayed hard not to be the object of his premeditated attention.
Odessa slammed the book shut and gave both of them a cold piercing glare. They stopped moving momentarily.“What?” Odessa had decided to end the obvious malice instead of reading nothing in pretence of concentrating.She dropped the book on her lap and glared at them for a longer time.“You took a long while to get her here Zane. Why? And I didn't hear a report from you.” Odessa knew there was no use to her question, they were already here, and that's all that mattered.“Getting into the palace wasn't easy under the watchful eyes of their sorcerer. I thought it wise to go in and get out. Not to go in again.” He answered, straightening himself.“You still haven't attended the first point I raised, you could have brought her out immediately you found the book.” Odessa pushed further.“She had herself put in a cell... Her father felt she was... Stubborn.” He sneered.
Ruby fearfully looked around but saw an animal of some sorts, she knew what she was to do.Still in a frightened air Ruby fearlessly climbed the Jaguar's back.The fear on Rose's face was almost replaced with confusion. The princess said nothing to them but allowed the Jaguar to run off with her on it.The girls ran after the animal for some while but lost it.Really what could they do?“No!” Lilly exhaled sharply and put her hands on her head showing grief.“We're dead.” Rose said in panic, they were both almost crying and had doom showering them.Rose held Lilly's arm and dragged her lightly back to where they left the horses. The girl grimaced when she couldn't find the horses.She bent her head slightly and placed her hands on her waist.“Let's go to the palace.” Lilly sobbed, Rose shook her head slightly.“No. No.
Lilly followed Rose out of the room and the princess locked the door. Ruby stood there for some seconds, then went to her wardrobe when she heard cracking of bones.
Heavy footsteps were soon heard near the door, and it swung open. The King made way for Seansha to come in then sat on his favourite chair.Seansha stood in front of the King looking jittery.
Ruby didn't have much visitors, except Lilly, who came to give her meals and take her tray away, the guards who checked on her occasionally and once her father. He asked if she had decided to let go of her idea and she said otherwise.
"What are you trying to run away from?"
The palace was full of life and kicked off celebration of the King's birthday, even though preparations were done hurriedly.It was evening when proper celebrations started, the King was very happy and everyone could see it.
Seansha knocked on the King's door, he had an idea he thought would lead them at least, close the princess."Come in."The King answered. His voice could hardly be picked up by the person at the door. Se
Darkness rose over the kingdom as night fell, and everyone was ready for their night, even though they had to go to sleep with a nail in their feet. Especially in the palace.A nail that the princess was missing. The King refused to eat anything throughout the day, and wasn't going to sleep without seeing his daughter, even after so much begging by the handmaidens and Seansha.
