CHAPTER 3: LITTLE BIRDIE

(3 years have passed by after the arrival of the newborn. The citizen haven't seen emeralds face after the grand reveal. However, they all can hear the havoc happening in the kingdom. )

"Princess WAIT TT!!!.. Don't run around like that in the weapons vault!!."said ryujin with a breathless tone. "Ahh…(panting noise) I can't… I .ahh…".

 "Already out of breath ryujin??, i thought you were the unbeatable leader of vorgath clan and yet can't seem to be able to keep up with a 3 see year old child …haha."said Faye with a teasing smile.

"Oh do shut up... If…if you're that confident then get her your self ".

"Very well then, since someone doesn't know how to do their work well, I guess I have to step up".

"Would you look at that? , little browny here is in high spirits today, reminds me of a wool rabbit that never stop acting crazy .mm mm...maybe I should start calling her wooly bunny now".

"For god's sake Marlowe stop giving the princess weird names !…"replied kratos.

"Aww your never fun kratos . Can you blame me?? Look at that little devil running around … Ahhh makes me want to chase and gobble her …mmm must be tasty to kill"

"MARLOWE!!"said the whole clan leaders together.

"Right…no killing the princess… Got it".

"God, when will you start being normal Marlowe."sighed kratos.

"WATCH OUT!!!!." Said Delphine with a worried tone.

(Loud tud).

"OMG… Princess are you ok?????? What did I dooo!!!am I going to get killed now??? Nooo… I have a familyyyy".

"Clam down Delphine, the princess is fine."said Faye.

"She is???princess are you ok???'.

(Princess emerald also known as the bird on loose, stood up from the ground. Her 2 feet body really reminded Marlowe of a little bunny. Those brown googly eyes that looks like a doll and long curly hair that looked like wool was enough reason for him to call her a wooly bunny. Emerald showed the clan leader her shining white teeth, smiling wide)

"am okkkkk.."

"Uncle kratos , can I sit on your shoulders???".

"Umm...your majesty…, you're not supposed to do that with the clan leaders. You're a young lady And a royal member of Zara, you should act matured and composed at all times ".

"Bu..but.."(small weeping noises )

"Ohh nooo. Here we go again "exclaimed Delphine.

"I WANT TO CLIMB ON YO UUU!! AHHH!!, you hate mee??uncle kratos  you hate me that nuch????!! AHHH…!!".

"No no of course not, your majesty… Please …please stop crying …"said kratos.

"Marvelous scene indeed … Makes me feel entertained all the time… By the way my little wool bunny it's much not nuch" said Marlowe.

Ahhhh… Ahh. Aunt Delphineeee.ahh.he doesn't like meee!!!…uncle kratos doesn't like meee …ahh"

"No…no that's not true, uncle kratos likes you a lot …please stop cryinggg... If you cry I will start crying too… Ahh!!."

"OMG Delphine, get a hold on your self.. Your worse than the kid..geez."

"What's with the early ruckus??, won't even let me do my job in peace?"said ivory with a cold face.

Delphine hid behind kratos. Ivory sees emerald wiggling on the floor and crying.

"Stop this instance. Unless you want me to call your father and tell him to lock you up "

Her cold stare stayed the same as she said those words

"Now, now ivory, you don't need to be that harsh with words. She is just a kid after all"replied ryujin.

Emerald was a troubling child who doesn't listen to anyone. But one person she feared would definitely be ivory and her own father.

"Well?.. Are you going to stop being a nuisance or should I teach you a lesson?"

Emerald showed a terrified face, she stood up from the floor and wiped her tears before she gets a smack.

"So you do know how to behave, huh?"said ivory.

"Can't blame the child. Who isn't scared of ivory?"whispered ryujin to Faye's ears.

"What was that ryujin? "Ivory stared at ryujins soul.

"NOTHING!" ryujin replied with a panicked voice

"Well then, I came here to take the princess to the king. He wants to check on her symbol".

"Ah... He is still trying to find the 3rd guardian I see, very well then, let's take the princess to the majesty"

 (At the royal chamber)

"Your majesty" said the clan leaders.

"Heyaa pappa "shouted emerald.

"Princess, show respect and bow to the king "said kratos .

Emerald tilted her head to the side in confusion. "Why? Papa is papa. Why should I bow to him like you?"

She looked at Xavier. "Papa I want to sit on your lap "she said with a wide smile.

"Well of course my dear child, you don't need to bow to me, come, sit here "Xavierr patted his lap.

Emerald jumped and sat on his lap, she looked up at him and gave a big smile.

"Well then my little troublemaker, let's look at your symbol shall we? "

Xavier took her wrist and looked at the symbol. The two dragons in her symbol seems to remain the same. He then felt the symbol, making sure the seal is still Holding well. He then ordered the maids to check emeralds body for any other symbol. Fortunately they couldn't find any.

"Mmm ... I guess still no other symbol. Well it's a good thing i guess".

Xavier looked at emerald with curios eyes then gave a smile. "Well it's getting late. Why don't you go back to your room and take rest?

" Emerald looked disappointed. She looked at Xavier and asked "papa, when can I go out?? I want to go and play with the other kids. I see them playing with dragons and other creatures outside my window. Why can't I go out of the palace??."

Xavier was sad to see her face, but he had no choice, he promised Miranda and the citizens of Zara that he would keep emerald inside the castle at all times and wouldn't let her harm the others.

He lifted emerald from his lap and looked straight into her eyes. "Listen emerald, the outside world is not really fit for you… I just wish to protect you from everyone … yours my precious daughter"

Emerald looked down, her expression was even sadder. " But the rest of my siblings all go out, why can't I??? Today I heard big sister Silvy and big brother usher talk about the village carnival, how they had a big showcase of wyverns, I want to see it too"

"Am sorry my dear child, I cannot let you go out, your still young to be going out"

Xavier put both his and emeralds forehead together and said in a loving voice "I swear to you, you will soon be able to see the outside world, please wait till I say you're ready"

Emerald pouted but listened to her father. She went back to her room and sat near the window.

She stared out to the open forest and the small valleys, she saw the face of the citizens bargaining in the street, kids playing with each other and the people from zephyrine riding Griffins in the sky.

She then walked to a mirror and watched her self. She had a look of sadness in her face. However, she knew she won't sit around doing anything.

She touched her little crown . She didn't speak but her face said it all , that one day ..she would see the outside world .
