***************

Constance was sitting by the sparkling pond, enjoying the shade of the overhanging trees. It was a perfect place to write poetry.

The water trickles down the wet rock like a fountain; the breeze sings her sweet song and blows through my hair…

Constance’s thoughts were interrupted as she heard footsteps. Who could that be, she wondered, as she turned to see Silas grinning awkwardly.

“Silas, what are you doing here?”

“Um, I... What are you doing here?” Silas responded, trying to avoid her question.

“I’m here to write poetry. I find it easier to write when I'm alone with nature.”

“Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt you,” Silas replied, his eyes large with concern.

“Oh, that okay.” Constance replied turning back to her writing as I wish he would leave thoughts ran through her head.

“Could I help you with something?” Constance asked.

“No ... well, actually yes... I mean these are for you,” Silas said, handing Constance the flowers.

“For me? That's very kind of you Silas, what kind are they?” Constance asked, observing the golden petals and the shimmering silver hue inside.

“Um, I can't remember, I think they’re golden blossoms, or something like that.”

“Really, I've never heard of them.”

“Constance, I was wondering if you could come to supper at my parents’ house tonight.”

“Oh... that is very kind of you Silas, but I think I have other plans with Drinian and Woodphere.”

“Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Where will you be going?” he asked, rubbing his chin.

“I only know their last name is Brontay,” Constance replied, pushing a strand of hair from her face.

“You mean Pride and Helen Brontay? They’re very kind and have daughter named Grace. However, they do support the Molters.”

“They think Drinian should be killed?” Constance replied, with a shocked expression on her face.

“No, they just do not want him to be King.”

“But why not? Drinian will make a wonderful King”

“I imagine they think he is too young and inexperienced,” Silas replied solemnly.

“Would they rather have King Taybayeere's daughter rule?”

“No, they don’t want Princess Penella to be queen either, since she has very foolish ways.”

“Who do they want to rule?”

“They think the council is doing a good enough job.”

“I'm sure Drinian will convince them otherwise,” Constance assured Silas.

At that moment a pretty young girl with blonde hair came galloping up to them on a white horse with a large horn on its forehead.

“Is that a unicorn?” Constance asked in amazement.

“Indeed, we have a few around here” Silas replied.

“Hello Silas,” the girl said.

“Good morning. Constance this is my sister Julia,” Silas said, introducing the two girls.

“Nice to meet you Julia. I'm Constance,”

“It is a pleasure to meet you,” replied Julia, her eyes sparkling.

“You have a beautiful animal, what is its name?”

“Jewel.”

“It suites her so well, being white with bright eyes.”

“Thank you. Oh Silas, Linda has come to see you,” Julia sighed.

“Again? Did you tell her that I was out?”

“Yes, but she insisted on staying until you returned. You know how she is, she won't let a person get a word in.”

“Julia, go back and tell her that I am out for the day, and I'm not returning until supper,” Silas replied.
