the air. I hold my breath as I kick back up to the surface of the water. I glare up at Gaylon who stands there with the Garlandians and Artthians men laughing at my missfortune. I try to fight the smile that creeps onto my lips. Then I start to laugh too. I swim back towards the dock taking Gaylon’s out reached hand. I smile up at him as he pulls me back up onto the deck. I push my finger into his hard chest. I say, “Next time, it’ll be you who goes for a swim.” He slaps me on my back as I walk away saying, “We’ll see.” Nerissa hands me a towl which I take reluctantly. I say, “Thanks for the support you two.” They look at each other then me.
Lady Flor replies, “Sorry, we kind of got sweep up in the moment.” Nerissa adds, “Sorry.” I smile at them shaking my head. “It’s cool.” I say. Later that night I stand out on the balcony. I watch the Nero jet pilots practice there fighting maneuvers. I found them completely amazing. They flew through the air with small jets attach to there backs. The water burst out of the jets propelling them through the air and the ocean. It was a fascinating dance to watch the warriors perform. They could grab a hold of their opponent from midair and then drag them down to the bottom of the ocean. I was so captivated by the show that I hadn’t notice Gaylon standing beside me until he spoke. “Are you enjoying the show?” I reply, “Yes. They’re amazing... They look like flying sea snakes. If a snake could fly.” Gaylon agreed, “Yes and they can be just as deadly.” It was a sobering thought. I look down at the water saying, “Are we really going to war? There isn’t any other way, to remove Larg from the throne.” Gaylon replies, “He will not give it up willing, Dorothy.” Leaning forward onto the railing he continues. “From what our spies have gather he has imprison the Elders families to gain control over them. Larg controls Elders...” I interrupt saying, “He controls the army.” Gaylon says, “We will have to take the throne from him. It is the only way, now.” I nod, “When... When will we attack?” He looks down at me saying, “Soon, once Captian Artoon and his men arrive we will go to war.” I stand up gasping, “Their alive... How do you know? When will they get here?” Gaylon smiles at me saying. “I didn’t want to worry you until I knew we had them out of the city, safely. I have been communicating with him through one of our spies for a few days now. He has friends inside the castle who hide him and his men.” I asks, “If there is a way to get them out. Then why can’t we do the same to get to Larg and prevent this war.”
Gaylon sighs, “He is too heavily protected.
Besides, he could order the deaths of the elders family before we could ever reach him in time.” I nod, “Does Lady Flor know about Captain Artoon?”
He grins responding, “Yes. She is preparing a grand feast for their arrival. Will you save me a dance?” I could feel my cheeks turning red. I stammer, “Oh...
There... There is going to be dancing? Well, I... I don’t know how to dance. I’m sorry I never learned.” He smiles at me saying, “The steps are not that difficult to learn. Here I’ll show you.”
Before I could argue, I found myself within his arms. He places my hand on his shoulder while holding my other hand in his own. Being in his arms made my heart skip a beat. The smell of him was intoxicating. A part of me never wanted him to let me go. I prayed he couldn’t see how he made me feel as we slowly dance. He spoke softly, “See, it’s not difficult at all, my Princess.” I couldn’t take my eyes from his lips as I said, “Your right it’s easy.” Our eyes met and I knew he was going to kiss me. I whisper, “We shouldn’t do this...” He ask, “Do what?” his mouth only inches from mine.
Before I could respond his lips were covering mine.
He kiss me so slowly, so gently that I forget to breath. As time seems to
