I wake up the next morning, feeling the sun beam through the window and straight into my face. I groan softly as I turn the other way and lightly rub my eyes to try and wake up. It's not that I don't like the sun or the warm feeling off the sun in my face, it's that it's so bright and my eyes burns every time, considering it hits the middle off my eyes every time.
I lye in a my bed for a while trying to wake up, not remember much from last night considering I were very tired and fell asleep immediately. I let out a soft yawn as I sit up and look through the closet to find just the littlest off clothings, it is not very much to decided between, but I've got one off my mothers old outfits that I only use for special events. It's a bloody pair off pants, that are open on the side with crosses of black thread. A simple black sweater and a fur jacket that goes just around my arms and covers up my whole back with furs. It's not as pretty as the people in the polis has when they're going to big events, but me and my brother usually stays for ourselves, we hardly goes out. The only time we go out is when we're invited to eat with our neighbours, whom invites us once in a week. I don't think they invited us because they wanna see us, I think they're just inviting us because they know we're getting poor and they're one off the richer people in the little village. I grab my hairbrush as I run it through my silky hair, I would usually put my hair in two different braids, but this time I decided to do something else's because it's my first time ever outside off out fences, and I can't wait. I try to do two braids on each side off my head and let the other hair flow down by my sides, but it seems impossible and my hair does not want to work with me. I let out a shriek as I take it all out again and groans " Fuck "
I curse underneath my breath as I look up at my brother who seems shocked " I hate my hair " I mumble angrily as I start brushing through my messy hair. " Why can't you just do something simply? You look perfect without stashing you your hair you know... your beautiful little sister " Rivo told me softly as he took the brush from me and gently ran t through my hair. He were always the sweetest one in our family, he would always do the hard work, and say the kindest words that would make anyone fall in love with him. " Thanks big brother... I still don't understand how your not having a girlfriend" I mumble as a faint laugh escaped his mouth. " You know I don't have time for that, besides it's better to be best friend with you and hang around you " he said in a more sternly voice as he started doing my hair. In fact he actually knew some braids, mostly because when mom started to become sick he wanted to do something so that we remember her and that needed up being some braids. It might seem weird, but I don't mind it, I'm just happy we can remember our mom even so I try to forget about the past most off the time. " I love hanging around you two, but I wanna see you happy with someone else to you know..." I whisper as I turned my head so taht he could do the other side. " You always wants the best for everyone Lex, but you gotta remember and think about yourself sometimes, you seem to forget about yourself..." he whisper as he eventually fin kissed the braid and I walked up to the little mirror and looked at it before turning to Rivo " Than you Rivo... it's beautiful " I told him without saying anything about thinking about myself.
I knew he were right though, I never really intended to think about myself. I always make sure that everyone's safe before me, once I know that, then I'll think about myself.
- Time skip-
We gather our things and strap up both our horses before mounting them and trotting off into the green forest. It were almost quite, the only sound to be heard where the sounds off the horses hove clicking against the hard ground and birds that were singing.
My favourite thing since I were a little girl were to ride horse. I felt more free and I would relax more. To be on the back off the horse I could let go off all my worries, it's like they all just disappear and I could be in my own thoughts and just relax. I didn't think I just closed my eyes, listens to the horses hove and smelled the nature, it were paradise.
The best part were the time I got my own stallion, he were sassy and a messy one. I'd have him since he were almost just born, sadly he got separated from his mother in a early age, I don't know the reason, but I'm just glad I got the chance to get him. He's defiantly the finest horse in out village. His body coat is chestnut brown, his forehead has gotten a white strip in it, and the same as other his leg hair. And his mane and tail is both black and white. He's name is Vahva which means strong in another language. No one believed he could be tamed, everyone told us to put him down because he were so wild, but I never gave up on him and now I'm the only person he listens to.
It didn't take me and Rivo long time before we eventually reached polis. We were stopped by the gate and met by two huge guards who were already intimidating me, and scaring me. " Der ste nou allowed behind these gates, yu souda ban op em hir"
One off the men and with the long black beard told my brother and gave him a harsh glance. " nou even a swiss? " my brother huffed and just got a harsh glare from the man. " Let's just leave them here brother..." I mumble as he took out his sword and I'd take out my dagger and place it down beside my brother before we enter through the gates.
