Please read-> This is just a little scene I jotted down. It could be the very beginning of the story but that would be boring so more than likely I will slip in in somewhere later as a flashback. Yeah I'm not the best writer but I can get better! That's what we are all here for so I would appreciate tips to make it better!
A young girl sat beneath a willow tree. Tears streamed from her dark brown eyes and rolled on to her little lace dress. A little boy,perhaps a year older then she, came up to her and keeled down in front of her. His hair was dark red like dried blood. His eyes were silver and told a story one could not understand without explanation.
"Why are you crying?" he asked the young girl.
"I'm not crying!" she said as she hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood up with her head held high.
"Then why's your face all wet?" he said brushing his knuckles on her cheek. "Whats your name?" He asked.
"My name is Adonia Xanthe Orlaithe." She answered proudly.
The boy's eyes widened. "Your the daughter of Aunnalise? The Great war heroine?" The boy paused for a moment. "I heard she fell in battle." He said sadly. “Is it really true?”
Adonia nodded her head and her eyes began to brim with new tears. He took her hand and smiled gently. "Come with me."
With out saying anything she fallowed him to a meadow dotted with trees covered in blossoms of every color, size, and texture. The amount of grass was nearly equal to the number of flowers that dominated the area. He led her to a dogwood tree and she sat beneath it quietly. He carefully selected the most worthy flowers and gathered them together in a little bouquet tied together with a few humble blades of grass. When he held it out to her she blushed and smiled sweetly. She raised the flowers to her nose and breathed their scent in. They were ever so sweet! No flower matched the fragrance, nor the beauty of any flower that grew around the valley.
“What is your name?” She asked the boy when she'd realized he'd not told her.
“Akito.”
“Akito? Thats it?”
“That's it.” He confirmed.
“Who are your parents?” She asked with a funny look.
“I don't know, no one knows who my parents are.” He said rather awkwardly. “ but I don't need parents; I can take care of myself.
Adonia looked upon him with new eyes. He must be very strong to grow up without parents to guide him and she admired this. A Sensing her admiration Akito beamed. Then he surprised her with a kiss on her cheek. She gasped and her cheeks went bright pink. He smiled innocently but mischief glimmered in his eyes.
