Being A Aries

Forever A Flower

I was woken up by Rae and the young lady who bathed me. “Good morning Aries time to get up.” Said Rae. “I was sleeping so good though.” I said smiling. “Well you need to get dressed to go have breakfast with Lord Junsu then we will talk about what you are to do today.” Said Rae. “Okay” I said sitting up. “I’ll be just outside the room.” Said Rae leaving. “So if you’re going to be helping me so much what is your name?” I asked the girl. “My name is Luna.” She said. “Well Luna what should I wear today?” I asked her opening the wardrobe. As I did one of the outfits caught my eye. “Never mind I know which one.” I said pulling it out. It was a jumpsuit that was red. It was v cut front with short sleeves and flared legs with a red sash. Luna helped me get in it and then fixed my hair. I slipped the black heels on to go with it and the gold long thick bracelet, the gold plan banded rings and the gold chain with the Aries symbol on it and gold hoop earrings. We walked out to Rae looking me over in Ah. He took my arm in his and walked up to the dining hall but this time I sat next to where Junsu would sit and Rae sat on the other side. It was just us two in there no one else. “Is anyone else joining us?” I asked. “No only at dinner they do but most morning I join Lord Junsu.” He said. One of the servants from last night came in with a large tray. She sat down a plate in front of us and one with a cover over it for Junsu then placed glasses of what looked like Orange juice and coffee down then left. “He said to start without him he had to deal with something.” Said Rae. I looked down to see fruit, eggs, toast with jam on the side, Bacon, sausage, and a bowl of rice. As we began to eat the doors to the dining hall busted open and an angry looking Junsu came in. He had some kind of papers in his hands as he made his way over sitting down. “Is everything alright my Lord?” asked Rae. “It’s too early for this madness.” He said tossing the papers between Rae and myself. One of the servants came and took the top off his tray then left. He then looked over at me since I was watching me. “Good morning my Lord.” I said as soft and sweet as I could. “Good morning Aries. You look beautiful today.” He said as he took the cup of coffee. “Aries do you know anything about war and battle?” he asked after taking a sip of his coffee. “I guess I do. I know war happens when people don’t agree on things. War happens when someone who rules something sometimes wants another person things. War can happen over Love, Hate, and greed. War is consuming.” I said. “Now battle is a part of war but Battle is where you’re fighting alongside your brothers and sisters for something you think should be good. But sometimes it isn’t.” I said. He just looked at me not speaking. “For a woman you know what you’re talking about.” He said then took another sip of his coffee. “Lord Junsu if you don’t mind me asking why did you ask me that question.” I asked. He set the cup down. “I don’t know I just felt the need to ask you. No offense Rae but I wanted to hear it from a new face someone different someone not from here.” He said. “Would there be some problem coming your way Lord Junsu?” I asked. “You saw how angry I was I guess you knew something was up.” He said. He took a bite of food before going on. “There are Tribes other villages if you would call it that don’t like me or how I rule. They don’t like the changes I’ve started to make and laws I’ve put into effect. So yes a problem is coming and it might turn into a war.” He said. “I know I am not of your people or this palace or your court but if they all see you in this light you haven’t thought that maybe you have chosen some wrong choices.” I asked. “You speak with respect and no harm but I think my choices were right and I don’t think I choice wrong.” He said. “Do you have a set plan of action to deal with a Battle if it comes to it?” I asked. “My army is one of the greatest armies in the world. I fear no battle or war that may come.” He said. I watched him I knew he had some kind of military or fighting training but I could see he never used it. He was a ruler who sat on his throne doing nothing. “Sometimes the best Armies do fall. Some of the best men fall. It doesn’t make us immortal unless you are.” I said. The grip on his fork tightened and his eyes grew dark. “Forgive me I did promise I wouldn’t overstep myself and I’ve done that.” I said bowing my head. “I will take my leave out of your sight if you wish it.’ I said. “Yes I do. Rae take her out of here and show her what she is to do today.” Said Junsu. I stood and bowed to him then left with Rae. “Your name speaks all truth. You have courage and you’re fearless to stand up to My Lord like that.” Said Rae. “I don’t mean to it just kind of happens. I don’t understand it.” I said. “We’ll be on your toes the rest of the day. Now fallow me.” He said. We headed to where the Dome room was. “I’d like you to help out with the animals and gardens today. Maybe pick the flowers for the centerpiece at dinner tonight. Also make sure the ladies and gentlemen pick the best fruit from the garden not like yesterday’s fruits he didn’t like them. Same with Veggies you are overseeing them.” He said and left me. I made my way over to the garden area where there were fruit trees and vines with veggies and fruits. The people picking in this area looked tired and weak. One young lady caught my eye her lips were dry like she was dehydrated. She looked up at me then away quickly. As they saw me they all bowed to me. I didn’t understand this why bow to me. “Are you thirsty my dear?” I asked her. She wouldn’t meet my eyes so I kneeled beside her. “It’s alright I want hurt you just tell me if you’re thirsty?” I asked. She looked up to me and nodded. I saw a few guys who were overseeing everyone sitting around. “Hey you” I yelled to one of them. The guy got up and walked over to me with a smug look. “Yes” he said in a rude tone. “Bring me water for them to drink.” I said. “They don’t get water till there done.” He said. “I am overseeing all of you and I said get them water.” I said now standing looking eye to eye with this guy. “Lord Junsu want be pleased to hear this.” He said. “I will deal with my choice of decision when the time comes with Lord Junsu but right now if you want anyone to pick this stuff and not die from dehydration then I would get water now.” I said placing my hands on my hips. “As you wish my Lady.” He said leaving with one of the other guys. I began to help them pick the best ones and putting them in the baskets when he came back but not with water but with Junsu. “You’re a rat aren’t you?” I said walking up to the guy not looking at Junsu who stood off to the side watching me. “I am no rat.” He said. “No you are you over minded me when told to do something when I told you I would deal with my choice of decision when it came time to it makes you a rat when you go behind someone. You could always be the weak link in the chain the one who will break in battle and choice to betray your kind to save yourself.” I said. Junsu heard all of this and came over. “She does have a point but your both in the wrong as of right now. Yan you are because you have been told by Rae that they are to have a 20 minute break every four hours to have food and drink. I never said when they were done. And You Aries you don’t control my soldiers I do. If you saw they needed it you should have gone to get it or come to me. But in all truth what you told Yan is right.” He said now looking at Yan hard. “You fallow me now. Aries as the leader inside you wants out so much you have control the rest of the day here.” He said leaving with Yan fallowing. The other boy who had left with Yan came back with a large box with water pouches inside. “Lord Junsu said to take orders from you my lady what would you have me do?” he asked. “Pass the pouches out to the workers please.” I said. He nodded and started handing them out. After a few hours of that I had figured out what was best and what wasn’t and for them to take it all to the kitchen. I then headed over to the flowers where there were people fixing them up t and planting. They also had water pouches now. They saw me coming and all bowed to me. The solider who now was fallowing at my said who passed the water out I asked him something. “What is your name so I know what to call you?” I asked him. “My name is Yang.” He said. “Well Yang maybe you can answer my question of why everyone keeps bowing to me like they do to Lord Junsu. They don’t do this to Rae.” I said. “Well since you got here you have changed. You are looking more like Lord Junsu. They think you are to be his wife because you match him with hair and nails and how you lead.” He said. “They don’t do that in front of Lord Junsu. And they are very wrong about me being his wife to be.” I said. “Well why they don’t is because they are to only bow to the Lord when he is in a room.” He said. I walked over to the flowers and smelled them. “Who here picks the flowers for the dining hall and around the palace?” I asked. Two woman came over one young and one much older. “We do my Lady is there something wrong with what we have picked?” asked the younger one. “No I think there beautiful but I was asked to choice tonight’s flowers for the dining hall and would love for your help.” I said. Both ladies smiled and each took an arm and led me around. I picked these beautiful aqua colored flowers that looked like the ones on my body. “My Lady Lord Junsu doesn’t like these flowers around the palace he likes them only in his study or his room.” Said the younger one. “Well in that case send some to my room there beautiful. And in that case let’s do those fire red rare orchids and the white ones.” I said. I soon left them and headed to where the animals were. They just roamed around freely. I met up with two young men who were cleaning the area and checking the animals out and feeding them. “Hello gentlemen” I said as I walked up. They bowed. “Hello my Lady.” They said. “What can I help with?” I asked. They both looked shocked at me asking this. “Um, you can help comfort the animals while I do checkups on them.” Said one of the guys. “What’s your name?” I asked as we walked over to where a baby black leopard was playing with a tiger and cheetah cub. “My name is Ryu and the other guy is Won.” He said. I sat down like him on the ground and took the leopard cub Ryu handed me. “Hi there little guy.” I said to him. It rubbed its face into mine. “You’re so cute.” I said. “Would you like to name him he hasn’t been named.” Said Ryu. “I can is that alright with Lord Junsu?” I asked. He looked confused at me asking this. “Yes it’s fine.” He said. I watched him as he took his hands and rubbed across the cub’s tummy and then a white light beamed under his hand on to the cub’s tummy. “Wow what is that?” I asked. “I am a healer so I use this beam of light to feel for wounds or sickness and then if so I can use this beam to also heal it. I can’t heal everything but animals and children yes.” He said. “Are there more healers who can heal people like me my size?” I asked. “Yes there is one he doesn’t live in the palace but lives up on a mountain top nearby.” He said. “Well how this little guy, is he well?” I asked. “He is wonderful and looks like he has taken a liking to you he normally doesn’t let anyone but me touch him.” He said. “I think I’ll name him Kai.” I said. “What does Kai mean?” he asked. “It means Fire” I said. “Like your name” he said. “He will be my fire and I’ll be his.” I said snuggling into him. As we checked the rest of the animals Kai fallowed. “I’m not sure if you’re going to get away from him today.” Said Ryu. “Its fine he can roam where I roam right?” I asked. “Yes he can they are free to go as they please.” He said. “It’s funny the animals can but the people cant.” I said. Ryu didn’t speak just kept doing what he was. As we were heading back to the front of the animal area Rae was waiting. “I see you made a little friend.” Said Rae looking behind me. “Yes his name is Kai.” I said. “You named him?” asked Rae. “Yes she did and it means Fire.” Said Ryu. “That’s a strong name.” said Rae. “Well how about we head to your room so you can get ready for dinner.” Said Rae. “Sure but I think my little friend will join us.” I said picking him up.
