A journal of Guinevere's and Lancelot's daughter. |
Hello! I am Princess Misty. My real name is Mysteria but everyone just calls me Misty. I was born at Castle Avery. Avery is another castle of King Arthur's. Mother was married to King Arthur and after his death, mother inherited everything. She had an affair with Lancelot, my handsome father. They were married at the time I was born. King Arthur had already passed on. Mother had me at Castle Avery. She and Lancelot didn't feel welcome at Camelot so she and father lived at Avery but since she was named Queen, she and father returned to rule Camelot when I was three years old. Castle Avery is 100 miles from Camelot and is on a hill top over looking the sea. It is always misty there and there are sunny days. The castle is gray and drab on the outside but beautiful on the inside and is decorated with red tapestry and beautiful purple tapestry as well. The furniture came from France and is in dark cherry wood. There are woods near by with unicorns but no one has seen the unicorns except me. It is the same as Camelot. Unicorns hide from people. They don't trust them. I lived at Camelot until I was fourteen and I asked my parents if I could live at Avery. The villagers and other royal people always stare at my parents and I. My mother betrayed King Arthur and I feel coldness amongst the people there. At Avery, there are the maids to watch over me and the palace guards. I have the fairy elf Princess Marlene to talk to. She watches over the woods and she will sometimes tell me the future. I love my parents and I hope to be beautiful like my mother. She has red hair and my hair is red but it is black when I stay at Avery. That is a mystery in itself. Merlin, the Magician can't even figure that one out. Merlin has finally accepted mother and he is a well respected but feared magician. Merlin loves me. I think that he thinks that I may possibly be King Arthur's child. There is no chance of that. Morgan LaFay, Arthur's sister stays with me at Avery at times. I love the woman like an aunt or a grandmother. I am afraid that I will be an old spinster like Morgan but not if mother has her way. Mother and father are having a ball for me at Camelot so I can meet potential suitors. I would be happy to be married to a knight like mother did. I don't want a Prince. Princes are arrogant. I am only sixteen winters old and I hope to hold off getting married for two years. I don't want to end up lonely like Morgan. She was only married four years and her husband died. She has been so lonely. She was married late in life at age fifty. I know she misses Arthur and her husband. That is why she doesn't want to live at Camelot. Morgan is always welcome to live with me. I guess that I had better go help the maids pack my items. I have to be back at Camelot in three weeks. My brother Nigel is most anxious to see me, He is my younger brother and I do miss him. I hope to marry a knight with his character traits someday. Dad, Nigel and Merlin have been the only male role models in my life. I have heard that all men aren't nice like them so I will be very selective about chosing a husband someday. I have to go. I heard one of the maids yell:" Princess Misty! There are pirates!" I do hope that Castle Avery isn't in danger. ** Image ID #1146681 Unavailable ** ** Image ID #1146795 Unavailable ** |
