I can't tell you much about what my life was before I was banished. So I will tell you what my life is now. I have black hair cut to where there is a side sweep in my eyes. I have silver eyes and am about 5' 5". All I really know is that I was a prince and was well banished from my world. I awoke on the hard ground of a dreamlike place that was filled with flowers and animals. It wasn't what I had in mind of banishment but it would do. Here is what happened from there on.


I am dressed in a light brown shirt with either a really dark blue or black pants. I have a head ache. I hear running water up a head and decide to go to it. There are lots of trees and other plants. I look up at the light blue sky and see a few clouds floating about lazily. I look back in the direction of which I am heading when I hear the water getting closer. I walk through some bushes to emerge at the side of a river. The river has two huge fish swimming in it. One of the fish is a golden color while the other is a shimmering white. They swim around each other as if playing tag. I look up and away from the fish when I hear the sound of laughter. I notice that the river is connected to a large pond of clear blue water. In the water there are children playing. I see movement out of the corner of my eye, and when I turn to look I see two more girls walking towards the clear pond. One of the girls has a mane of wavy blond hair with brown highlights in it. She is shorter than the other girl who has dirty-blond hair. Both girls are dressed in swimsuits. The one with the mane of hair is dressed in a light blue one piece while the other is dressed in a purple and black two piece. The two piece covers up her belly and wraps around to her back only to be tied with a string. The girl in blue jumps into the water only to yelp as she finds out how cold it is. The one in purple just smiles and laughs. She looks up in my direction and I move quickly to the side and out of her sight. I don't think she saw me, but to be sure I move over to a hill. I climb up the hill and find that I have a better view of the pond and river. The hill is actually a cliff, and at the bottom of it is the pond. I look out over the water and see the kids. The girl in purple is in the water now, and is swimming circles around the girl in blue. I look over at the other kids swimming in the water. There are about seven others. One of the girls is dressed in a bright orange one piece swimsuit that shines in the sun. She has brown hair, or at least when wet her hair is brown. I look over at the fish just as they leap out of the water and land into the pond. I am surprised that they could do that. The fish are easily as long as I am tall. I sigh and lean back.


I am leaning against a rock and bush with my hands in my pockets, when the girl in purple climbs up the cliff. To anyone else I look as if I'm looking down but really I'm looking at her through my hair. She looks at me in surprise and says, "I thought I saw some one else." I look up at that. She walks over and extends her hand in greeting. I stare at her hand and she says pulling her hand back, "Hi. I'm Kasia. Whats your name?" I look at her confused as to why some one would give their name so freely. I don't respond. She shrugs and says, "Its ok." She is looking at me closely and asks, "Are you ok? You seam a little down." She is looking worried. I shrug my shoulders. I can see a small frown on her lips. I know I should speak, but I just don't have it in me right now. I hear a female voice yell, "Kasia! Where are you?" Kasia turns around and walks over to the side of the cliff and looks down. She gives a small wave and looks back to me. She has a curious look in her eyes. She looks back down at the pond and I see her sigh. I hear the voice again yell, "Hey come on down here! The waters fine now." Kasia says back to it, "It is once you get used to it." She pauses and then continues, "I'm done really I am going to explore." She turns back my way and gives me one last look before she walks past me. I hear her say as she passes, "Nice to meet you." I turn around but she has already disappeared into the trees. I look back in the direction of the pond just in time to see the girl in blue climb over the edge of the cliff. She is panting hard. She looks up and asks, "Where did she go?" I point in the direction that Kasia went. She gets up and rushes off in the same direction with a little "Thanks." and is gone. It seams that everyone here is nice and friendly. I though I was banished not sent to a paradise. I look back at the pond and see that the fish are gone. I look at the rive and see that they are no where to be seen. I have a puzzled look on my face when I leave the swimming area.


I walk a while in the forest and finally come to a village of some sort. There is a building with lights coming from the huge open holes in the walls. There aren't any doors and as I watch a person walk through a hole I figure they must be the entryways. I walk into the building to find myself surrounded by people all going different ways. I move over to a table with two people playing a game. The game looks like a morphed version of Sorry. I try to get a better look only to bump into one of the people siting at the table. The person looks up and I can't help but be surprised to find that it is Kasia. She is sitting with the other girl with the mane of hair. I say, "Sorry." and raise my hands up in a gesture of apology. She smiles. "Its ok. Oh by the way have you met my friend Nia?" She asks pointing to the girl sitting across from her. I shake my head. Nia looks at me and says, "Glad to meet you." She looks back at the game with a frustrated look in her eyes. "I could teach you how to play if you want." I say looking at the two girls. "That would be great! We have been trying to figure this out for long enough." Kasia says with a small chuckle. I sit down in an empty chair and show them how its done.


After a few rounds of me winning Nia says that shes had enough, and that its time that she got back home. She looked to Kasia as if to say come on. I didn't want them to leave. If for no other reason then that they were getting good at the game, and it was fun to relax and play with some one. I enjoyed their company. "No. I want to stay here longer." Kasia said. "Ok, but don't stay too long." "No just a few more days" Kasia replied. Nia just rolled her eyes and left. I looked at Kasia. She just gave a "humf" and shrugged shaking her head. She looked back at me and our eyes met. I was startled to see her eyes change color. They went from a grayish-blue to a silver. Her hair is still dripping wet from her swim earlier today and she gives me a nice big smile as she says, "I really should be getting back to the hotel though." I just nod slightly. "See you around?" She asked as she got up to leave. I nodded again this time more clearly. She smiled again and left. I left too and went to find a place to rest for the night.


I awoke with the feeling of being refreshed and ready to go explore. I went down to the first floor of the hotel and asked if there was any places for sell. The person who ran the hotel said, "There are some houses in a village to the north, but its a long ways away." "How long?" I asked. "About a weeks travel by foot." He said again looking down at his list of people staying in his hotel. "Whats the name of the village?" I asked. He looked up at me and said the village was named Saqueraphasavis and gave me directions. I left the hotel and went to go find some transport.


After about two days of riding in the wagon I arrive at the village in question. It is jut a small place with a few building here and there. I look around and ask some one who was passing by on the street, "Where are the houses for sell?" She replied, "Oh there is one in the woods to the southeast. Here I'll show you." "Ok that would be great thanks!" I respond following her. We arrive at a nice house in the woods. There are some lights on inside. "Thank you!" I say to the lady as she leaves. She just nodes her head. I walk up to the front door and knock. A man answers. "Yes?" He asks. "Is this the house for sell?" I ask. "Yes it is. Come in." He says moving out of the way so I can get in. "Thank you." I say as I step into the building. The inside is very nice with the wood being a nice shiny brown color. The man leads me down a hall and into the kitchen where he motioned for me to sit. I sit in a chair and watch as he sits across from me. "So you interested in buying?" He asked as if he was afraid to hope. "Well yes. That's why I'm here." I say. "Ok well how much money can you offer?" He asked noticing my rather shabby appearance. I pull out 3 gold coins and show them to him without letting him touch them. I see his eyes widen. He looks at me more closely. "Will this be enough?" I ask getting impatient. "Yes! That will be more than enough!" He said. "Ok." I say as I pocket 2 of the coins. "What?" He asked when I did so. "You said that it would be more than enough." I said innocently. "Oh well if you add the 2 again I will give you all the things in the house so you won't have to go and buy them, and I will move out right away." He said quickly. "Ok." I say again as I take back out the 2 coins. I hand them over and he nods his head and says, "Well then I will leave you with your new home. Enjoy!" He leaves me the keys, quickly grabbs and packs a bag, and walks out the front door. "Well that was easy." I say as I scratch the back of my head.


I am now back in the village I first came to when I was banished and I am looking for Kasia. Just as I'm about to give up I spot her heading out the east entrance of the village. I follow her wondering where shes going. I follow her through a huge open feild full of lush green grass. She continues until she comes across a huge Manson like building. She looks around half-heartedly and walks into the building. I follow warily. I see her look around in wonder. Just ahead of her are some other kids. They appear to be sneaking about. She follows them deeper into the house. I follow her making sure that I know where the exit is just in case. Suddenly there is a loud crashing sound and the kids scream and race away. Kasia looks up in fear. She yelps and turns to run. I hide behind a corner so she doesn't see me. She races past me and turns a corner. Just as she turns the corner I see what made them all scatter. A huge man was chasing after them swinging a bloody cleaver. He had on a bloody apron and was yelling, "GET OUTA MY HOUSE!" The sight made me want to run and hide. The man tuned the corner that Kasia had also turned. I heard a scream. I raced over just in time to see Kasia get swung at by the man. She barely dodged the cleaver as it sliced through the air. She ran passed the man in the direction that she had come from. I hide behind the corner. Just as she ran past I reached out and grabbed her around the waist. I put a hand over her mouth to silence her screams. The man ran past us. Kasia was breathing hard and shaking. I dropped my hand from her mouth but still held her out of sight of the hall that the man went down. She stayed quiet. When her breathing slowed I asked her, "What are you doing here?" She turned around, out of my grasp and said, "I could ask you the same thing." "You could but now is not the time. Come on." I said switching the subject. "But you just asked me-" She was cut off by the man yelling again, "GET OUT YOU FILTHY BRATS!" She jumped over to my side and got real close as if trying to hide behind me. I put my arm over her shoulder and pointed her in the direction of the door. "Is the ghost clear?" She asked looking up at me. I nodded and we took a run for it. We ran out of the house and kept running until our legs couldn't carry us anymore. Dropping down onto the grass we panted heavily. I looked over at her just as she did the same, and couldn't help but smile. "You know... That's the first time I've seen you smile." She said. "Really?" I ask still breathing heavily. "Yeah." She pants out. I look into her eyes to see that they are a blueish-green. "You know your eyes are a real pretty color. I love how they change." I said not realizing what I was saying. She looked at me startled and blushed she looked down. I reached over and lifted her chin up with my hand and looked deeply into her eyes. I lean forward and kiss her soft lips. I hear her gasp but she doesn't pull away. Instead she kisses me back. We pull away after a little while. I still have her chin in my hand. She blushes a bright red and pulls her chin out of my grip. As she does so my hand caresses her face. She looks down blushing deeper. We stand up after a few more minutes of rest and head back to the village.


I spend a few more days there with her, but I have to get back to my house. I give her a hug and I tell her with sadness in my eyes, "I have to go. Goodbye." She looks up at me startled. I pull away and turn to leave. As I'm walking away I hear he say, "Wait! Please don't go!" I don't look back I just leave. I left her standing there in the middle of the village with people walking past her. Oh how alone she must have felt. How hurt and confused she must have felt as she stood there staring off in the direction that I had left. If I had looked back I would have been greeted with the sight of tears running down her face. A face who's expression was that of pain and sorrow. An expression that showed the broken heart that I had created. Yet at the same time and expression that showed determination.


About a month had passed since I had left her standing there alone, and now it did feel like banishment. I was alone and depressed, but that was my own doing. That was because of my own stupidity. I deserved to feel this way. Yet what I didn't think about was how my action had affected her. There was a knock at the front door. I walked over and answered it thinking it was another person come to welcome me to the village. When I opened the door I was startled, no shocked, to see Kasia standing there. She looked tired and uncertain. "What are you doing here?" I asked and internally winced when I realized that I sounded angry. I saw her flinch. "Nothing." She said and turned to leave. I grabbed her before she could walk away. She gasped in startlement. I pulled her into the house and into a backwards hug and said, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound like that. I was just startled to see you here." I let her go and she turned around. I could see tears in her eyes. She quickly blinked them away though before they could fall. "I just wanted you to know that I'm going back home. I came to say goodbye." She pause taking a deep breath. " I never did get to say that when you left. So..." I could see that it was hard for her to speak. Before she could finish I stopped her with a kiss. As I kissed her I held her close so she couldn't get away. She did a little gasp and then kissed me right back. I felt relived. I pulled away and she looked down. I let her go so that I could pick her chin up and make her look me in the eyes. She backed up and when I held her chin she looked me directly in the eyes and said, "You hurt me all those days ago. I'm not going to let you do so again. I have to go." I was so startled that I let her pull her chin out of my hand. She turned to leave again and as she opened up the front door I grabbed her and pulled her back again. I closed the door, and spun her around so that she faced me. When she was facing me I said, "I am sorry I hurt you. Will you please forgive me?" She tried to pull away but I held her tight. "Please?" I asked again. She looked directly into my eyes and I saw her eyes change color. They changed to the same silver color as the time in the building with the game of Sorry. "Yes." She said softly. I leaned down and kissed her yet again. This time though there was no gasp. No there was just her kissing me back. When I pulled away she said, "I do have to leave though." I looked down into her eyes and saw that she was hurt. "When do you have to leave?" I asked. "Tomorrow late in the morning. This was the last stop before I left. I thought it would take me longer to find you, so I left early." She said looking into my eyes. "Good." I said as I picked her up. A look of surprise went through her eyes, and a gasp escaped her lips. I took her to my room where I laid her on my bed. I pinned her down so she couldn't get away. I was going to make this one of the most memorable things in all the time that she stayed here. I kissed her lips and said, "Don't worry."


The next morning I woke to find her curled up next to me with her head resting on my arm. She looked so peaceful lying there. I stroked her hair and she woke with a little, "hmmm?" Her silver eyes blinked up at me sleepily. Then she realized what day it was and what she had to do. I saw emotions fly across her eyes, but the one that stayed was sorrow. "Don't be sad. I will always be with you when you need me most." She closed her eyes and a single tear slid down her face. Before it slid all the way down I caressed it away. She opened her eyes and what I saw there was love.


And still to this day I watch over her waiting for her to need me. But I know that everyday she grows stronger, and the time of need slowly, painfully never shows.
