Daughter of the Naga

The following days were reserved for the preparation of the next quest. I wanted to spend my time with Amarisa as much as I could, but we hardly found our moments alone. The King and Queens were in the city. Amarisa was always chaperoned and brought along with them wherever they went. 


My avatar friends also needed me to be briefed before the upcoming game. The only time I could be with my princess was during my art class at the Dance Hall and our private meeting at the Asoak Garden. 


One morning in the garden, when the golden sun rose high above the palm trees, Amarisa and I laid on the soft grass together by the water. We watched wild birds hurling worms into their nests. All around us were sweet-scented flowerbeds. Amarisa rested beside me as I got my arms around her. I could feel her soft breath against the base of my neck. Then she rose and moved over to look right into my eyes. 


"You seem different," she said, running her fingertips over my temple and down my jawline.
