Princess Mia was now four years old, though she spoke and carried herself like someone a lot older would. That morning, her nana had come in and woken her earlier than usual. o Miathielo ¦Ai tarieno ¦ wake upo Her eyes fluttered open and as she saw her nana she smiled and asked o Ai tarien? What does it mean?o Nana laughed o It means o little princess-o Her wavy auburn hair, which she always wore in a braid was matted, so nana proceeded to brush it and comb it into place.

Soon her mother walked into the room, Akara close behind. o Good morning my little merka hin!o This was a nickname Mia knew well, it meant o Wild Childo in Elvish, Mia just giggled o Morning mommyo as she held out her arms waiting to be picked up. The queen scooped Mia up into her arms. o Today we are going on your first diplomatic trip, you must be on your best behavior Miao The little princess smiled o Yes mamao .

Mia stared at the rays of sun bursting through the colorful stained glass windows. She analized every small detail, the shapes they made on the floors of the palace hallways, how the colors melted into the rich carpets and tapestries. On sunny days like this, she would often lie on the floor and run her fingers along the colorful reflections, but today there was no time for play, she had to be her very best, it was her first formal diplomatic journey.

The carriage was just outside the palace, waiting for them. The coachman opened the door for the royal family, as the queen climbed in he held out his arm for support. Akara jumped right in, then Mia and finally the King. The chariot was escorted by master assassin Aldo and 3 other members of the royal guard, each riding a perfect white stallion with silver colored armor. The royal family traveled for three days and three nights, on the fourth day just as the sun rose, Mia peeked out of the window. She had never seen such beautiful wild flowers and so much sand in her life. Suddenly from the rolling sand dunes and exotic plant life rose a grand city. The carriage rolled into the city, Mia just stared, mouth wide open. The first thing she saw was the market place, it smelled of fruit and spices, children were running and playing in the streets. As they saw the lavish coach make its way to the palace, they ran alongside it waving, Mia could not help but smile, Akara did not seem as astonished as his little sister.

Upon arriving at the Morrocan palace her parents left Mia and Akara with their caretaker in one of the exotic gardens. Akara walked over to a palm tree and sat in the shade to read a book, Mia on the other hand wandered around and explored the small desert oasis. This garden was so different to the ones in Crowshire, it smelled of honey and other things she could not quite pinpoint.

It was a very warm day and the sun was at its highest point in the sky, Mia walked over to a fountain to cool off. She held her hair up as she lowered her mouth to the water. It felt cool against her lips and she drank it in eagerly, out of the corner of her eye she saw a small shadow. She quickly whipped up her head and next to her she saw a small boy about two years older than her. He had scruffy purple hair and the most beautiful deep emerald green eyes Mia had ever seen. She stood there staring at the young boy, who casually walked around her, Mia never broke eye contact. Suddenly his mouth turned into a crooked grin, o How come you have strange pointy ears?o Mia, having never noticed this trait as being akward of different, immediately touched her ears and analyzed this startling new discovery. o I dono t knowo . The little boy started to giggle and instead of being angry, Mia started giggling as well. o I am prince Cyruso he said, o I am princess Miatlio ¦.Miatithelo ¦..Mio ¦. oh! Just call me Miao . Akara looked up from his book at the sound of Mia's giggles, he had seen this boy on other visits to Morroc, he couldno t help but feel jealous, he and Mia had never really understood each other and suddenly there was this strange boy that had been able to make her laugh. Mia decided that she liked Cyrus straight away; there was just something about him that made her feel happy. o Hey Cyrus, want to play hide and seek?o Cyrus smirked and said o Sureo ¦o Mia took something Master Assassin Aldo had given her out of her pocket and grinned. o Try and find me now!o Lifting her arm and quickly bringing it down *poof* she was gone in a flash of smoke. Cyruso eyes widened in complete astonishment, but his mind was quick and sharp as a blade, in one swift movement of his arms he moved water from the fountain into the air and had it rain down all around him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a small figure moving fast, the water made her silhouette stand out, he let all the water rain down directly on her in a giant waterfall. Mia stumbled and fell to the ground, suddenly appearing completely drenched. Cyrus started to laugh and Mia did too, suddenly out of nowhere Akara appeared and shoved the young prince to the ground. o You cheater!o Mia stood up fast as a whip and put herself between Akara and Cyrus. o He is not cheating, I used tricks too! Leave him alone Akara!o He turned around and stormed off.

They spent the rest of the day playing and talking about their small adventures, but then the time came for Mia to leave. o Come along Miathiel.o Her mother called. o Yes mamao , o Goodbye Cyruso , she hugged him. o see you soono . She would never be more wrong.
