I waited in my room hoping to see Dylan again then someone holding a message come in. "You must be Lady Jupiter," they asked. I nodded, What is it do you need, I asked curiously. "I'm sorry you have to hear it from my but Dylan is confirmed dead," they replied looking down. My eyes widened as I stood there in shock. "He's been missing for 3 days... although we never found his body we found a lot of his blood, he wouldn't have be able to survive with the lost of all the blood," they said. Please leave me be, I said trimming as I turned my head away from them feeling boiling tears ready to be let out. They bowed slightly and walked away. Tears fell from my face. H-he's dead, I said slowly and quietly. Everything hurts.... it hurts so much. It hugged myself as I curled up in my bed. I can't believe that he's gone... My best friend... gone... I should of stopped him... I then remember how excited and happy he was for helping his kingdom and knowing his place. He would of gone either way... and he wouldn't die so easily. I stayed there laying in my bed crying for hours. The tears just wouldn't stop... I got up and looked in the mirror to see myself. I was a mess... i wiped my face with a wet paper cloth trying to think of something else. I then decided to go out of the training arena. I when down making sure no one saw me as I arrived to the arena. I grabbed one of the swords seeing myself in my reflection of the sword. My dead dread eyes from my tears. I swinged the sword with anger at the dummy. Slashing it over and over with all my strength. "At least challenge someone that will match your strength," someone said as I turned to them quickly. F-father?!, I said surprised. He grabbed a sword and walked to me swing it slightly. "How about a little spar Jupiter," he asked. A-ah n-no it's fine I just want to-, I was cut off. My father swing his sword at me. As a reaction I blocked stepping back. It seemed like I didn't have a choice at this point. But I swinged my sword at him as he blocked not even moving a flinch. My eyes widened as he struck at me and I fell back as he stood into front of me. "Sword fighting isn't about how strong you are it's about skill and how fast you act," he replied. I nodded as I looked down getting up. "Darning I know what happened and I understand your anger and sadness," he answered. I got up slowly, B-but he's gone, I said slowly. My father hugged me, "Yes, I know.....," he said slowly. I could tell how he felt he was sincere. I cried in his arms hugging him covering my face. In that moment I become closer to my father... We might be different but at that moment I felt that we connected....
A years passed... and I become 19...
Around the time of the year we when to Dylan funeral. We sailed to Goldvine. I met his brother and all his other family members. It was a short small funeral and I saw some of the council members there to. I mostly just wondered around the castle. He always told me about his kingdom. But I never got to see it until now. And I now knew the kind of place he grew up in. We sailed back after a couple of hours of staying there. "Are you feeling alright?," Sakura asked concerned. I nodded slowly being honest. I was okay.
Then 2 years passed....
I didn't go out much anymore. I mostly stayed in, in the library reading. Sakura wasn't there much cause between at those times she had to take care of her father. So I didn't see her much but it was alright. I learned a lot in the library reading about the outside world and etc. One fateful day my father walked into my room it was the day of my birthday. "Jupiter we have to talk," he said seriously. I looked at him questionable. "You have to go and get married," he answered. My eyes widened in surprised. What!, I shouted, Married!? "Your sister is already happily married," he replied. So what!, I shouted demanding. "We need more resources for our kingdom," he said raising his voice. So what am! I something you can use, I shouted angrily. "You will and that's final," he shouted out back. My eyes widened as I slowly sink down. "We will throw a big party today and there you'll pick a husband," he said as he walks off. Tell me the real reason, I said as I claimed my hands shut in a fist. "Like I said we need more resources in our kingdom, think about your people for a change Jupiter," he said as he walks out the door. It become quite after he shut the door. I grunted quietly as I threw a pillow down at the ground angry at the world. A photo I have kept slowly fell on the floor. I picked it up it was a photo of the woods and the ocean. This was taken farther way from the barrier. Maybe that could be my escape... Although yes I loved and cared about my family I want to make my own choices... Plus I could do this for Dylan... After all he always wanted to travel all over the world... But should I really leave this all behind?...I sat there in thoughts and all the possibilities. I soon came to my decision.
