A glimpse of the past

I bumped right into….. A PILLAR

I screamed at coco ‘ I SWEAR TO GOD COCO IF I GET HURT BY THIS BLOODY PILLAR ONE MORE TIME I'M GONNA’

‘YOUR GONNA WHAT?!’ She shouted as I shut my mouth. I swear coco is sweet and all but you should NEVER get on her bad side.

‘And babe, the amount of times you got hurt by that pillar is just embarrassing’

‘ Can you keep your voice down, why do you think we don't talk about it’.

‘If you say so, can you stop dilly dallying and serve the already’

‘OKAY MOM, sheesh’

Ever since I arrived here Coco has been my unspoken mom. Coco and the 3 others are from the headquarters of our avenue. They run the place, if you want permission to live here or set up a shop or even leave the avenue for an evening you need to get permission from them, Since most celestials who live here are fugitives the realms are looking for.

When you are at the gates of our avenue, you won't see the city or the celestials inside, you would just see an old one floor building with a rusty metal board reading Tranquil Avenue in bold but faded red colour. When one enters inside they would see a reception desk and the sign hung behind it saying “ If you want a safe home or place to stay at for the rest of your starborn lives, tranquil avenue is the place to be!!”, for the amount of words the sign had it was quite small. This is the case if a celestial is a newcomer to the avenue. They have to give their information at the desk, for them to check their background to make sure they aren't a threat to the avenue in any way.

Since I was born I have been kept as a secret. No one knew because it's a tradition in our kingdom that all royal princesses must only be revealed at the age of 20. I ran from my home at the age of 18 when that prophet told my parents about the…erm…celestial destroyer. It's been 5 years since then, and I do miss home. Not the palace but the lake inside the forest.

I was always locked up in the palace and one day I had enough and made up an escape plan to leave the place for a day. I woke up early in the morning without anything to eat, I headed out to see life. I had successfully gotten out, but I was pushed and trampled along the streets just because I was too short. I found my way out of the city and had lost myself in the forest. The deeper I went the more lost I was. It was past noon and I just got hungrier. When I looked straight ahead something between two trees was shining in the reflection of light . I went closer to take a look. The closer I went I could hear the water flowing. I ran to it in hopes of something to eat and drink. I shoved the bushes in front of me and ran to the waterfall, I gulped the water down my throat. After I quenched my thirst I took a step back and was flabbergasted at the sight. The place was covered in nature.It was pure magic. The birds were chirping, the place was foggy, you could see the colourful fireflies dancing, crickets singing,and magic in the breeze. I simply have no other words to say what I was looking at.I was still dumbstruck when I heard a water splashing noise ahead of me.

I went in the direction the sound came from.

Through all that fogg. I saw stones skipping in the water.

And the one throwing it was…..a boy??
