User blog:Scarly/Once Upon A Time - Sophie Green: Chapter 2 - We Meet In Rosewood

I found the library, I was quite tempted to take a look inside, but I noticed a broken part of a wall beside the old building. I couldn't resist the temptation of looking, it reminded me too much of the story I had finished just last night. The prince couldn't find his lost princess, he circled the old castle, but no avail. When he had almost given up, he found a broken wall, which lead to a tunnel, leading to a flight of stairs. At the very top, was the room the princess was locked in.

I wasn't expecting to find a tunnel or any such thing, but I did want to see where it lead to. I climbed onto the wall, and over to the otherside. There was a gate, which would normally require a pin number access code, but today it was open. I walked through the open door to find a beautiful meadow, it reminded me of all the beautiful meadows in all of my books. I was quite content to remain here, and enjoy it's beauty.

For some unknown reason, I thought of Princess Sophianna. What would she do, if she found herself in a meadow like this? I decided to find out. To my secret shame, I do enjoy role playing. I cleared my throat, and imagined how she would look. I spoke what I was thinking.

"The princess entered the meadow, she wore a long dress, with a ribbon belt around the waist, with flowers of gold and white, the colour of the dress was light gold. A white veil flowed elegantly from her plaited hair, with white gloves to match. A silver crown upon her head, with purple stones embedded upon it," I said, picturing it all clearly. "The princess was a beautiful bride for her prince.... no.." I muttered, that part didn't seem right to me. This time, I pictured her the same.

''The princess was not a bride, she was fleeing from a wedding that was not destined to be. She ran to the enchanted meadow outside Rosewood, the only place that gave her comfort in her time of need. Her groom was a cad, he had kidnapped her true love, a noble knight.''

I realised the last part, about the knight and the groom being a cad, wasn't me, I opened my eyes to see a boy in front of me, just a few yards away. He wore a green sweater, with tan slacks, white shoes, a red wool hat and olive coloured gloves. His hair was blonde, he was slightly over weight. I wasn't sure if I imagined him or not, but for some reason, I carried on imagining Princess Sophianna.

''Her love for the knight remained true, but she had never spoken to him, only admiring him afar. She knew it in her heart, that he would be the one for her.''

''The knight saw the princess, his heart began to beat faster, as he realised she was the princess he loved. He had not laid eyes on her in many a year, but she remained just as beautiful. He was clad in his armor, the armor of the phoenix. ''

''The princess chose not to wait another second, she wished to know the name of the knight. Before the princess could speak, a ferocious ogre entered the meadow, he was given the order to return her to the castle. The princess took cover behind the nearest tree, hoping that he had not seen her. ''

''Lucky for her, the ogre was poor sighted, and did not see her or the brave knight. However, that did not stop the knight from engaging the ogre in combat. The ogre's fighting style was sluggish, and no match for the knights power. Scorn, the ogre fled, swearing that the knight will one day feel his wrath. The knight turned to the princess. ''

''"The coast is clear, fair maiden," he called to her, his voice calm. ''

''The princess moved from her hiding place, she smiled at the prince. "Your actions were courageous, your intentions noble, brave knight, would you tell me thy name?"''

''The knight returned his sword to it's sheath. "I fair maiden, am Sir Melvino Dragon's Bane. Would kindly return the favour, and tell me thy name?"''

''"Princess Sophianna Emerald," the princess replied, curtsying as she did so. ''

The boy smiled, then looked me in the eyes. "I thought I was the only one that cared about RPGs," he told me. He had such kind eyes. "Melvin O'Connor," he said at last, properly introducing himself.

"Sophie Green," I replied, with a smile.

"That is quite a clever choice of RPG name," he commented. He held out his hand, as if he was holding a sword. "There is one more thing to take care of, Milady."

''Sir Melvino held in his hand, the fallen dagger belonging to the ogre. He held out the dagger, the hilt facing Princess Sophianna. "A gift for you, dear princess, upon his return, we shall fight together."''

''Princess Sophianna accepted the dagger, taking hold of the black handle. She rested her palm against the cold flat side of the blade. Much swordplay training was needed, but for now, she greatly appreciated the gift.''

<font size= "+1" face= "Pristina">The centered italic thing, is what is going on in their minds, how they see 'Rosewood'. It's the best way I could think of making it stand out, with out having to use a font for Sophie's RPGing, and a font for Melvin's, but that would get more complicated and confusing, if more characters RPGed with them.

<p style="text-align:center"><font size= "+1" face= "Pristina">Anyway, this chapter is currently unfinished. I currently can't add more, because anything after this will be a spoiler to Bullworth Side Story. When I finish Bullworth Side Story, I will continue to write the rest of this.
