Power of the Moon - History

There is a thousand year old tradition that when the future king is a month old every girl from newborn to a year old that were born in the land is brought to the castle by their parents. But only one of those girls would be lucky enough to be the young future king’s bond woman when she turned eighteen years old. They would stay that way until either the future king or the bond girl gets married. It is the Prince’s job to protect her and the bondwoman’s to look after him. The friendship between a Prince and his bondwoman is strong enough to on forever. It was a lovely tradition that continued right until the ninth month of the year 1989.

Jill and Abel come from a small village just outside the kingdom the day they came into the castle with their nine month old daughter Amice hoping along with all the other parent that their baby girl would be picked. They brought her to meet King Colbert’s son Alexis in her little pink dress. They put the baby girl down next to Prince Alexis just as he started to cry. They watched in amazement as she patted his head with care. The baby Prince soon settled down and went to sleep. King Colbert was so impressed by her that he refused to see the other girls naming Amice Prince Alexis’s future bondwoman. Nobody really knew that day, what the future held for Amice and the Prince, but one thing was for sure that they would one day be friends.

They both grew up quickly in two different worlds Prince Alexis often isolated himself and was rude to anyone that tried to play with him. His parents however never saw this as he was always a good boy when ever his parents were around. Amice on the other hand was always lovely to her neighbours and her parents. She always plays with the kids next door when ever she could. The young Prince and Amice soon started going to the kingdom’s kinder. Amice of course like any other time when she meets a new kid tried to play with him. Just like any other time when kids tried to play with him he was rude to her and made her cry.

Amice ignored him for the rest of the year at kinder and went to a different Primary school to him. Amice despite losing her dad and her mum getting remarried to an awful man became strong but at the same afraid of the Prince as became a bully. It wasn’t until they were in year 7 that Amice and Prince Alexis were force into the same classroom again. They both sat on opposite’s side of the room and at break time every so often he would try and bully the other kids into giving him money. When ever Amice saw this she would for get for fear and tell him off until he looked at then she would always run away. Amice did not realise that she was the only person that Prince Alexis would never harm.

Until one day, the last week of year 11 Amice and Prince Alexis were outside their classroom. Amice and Prince Alexis were standing on their own, away from each other when a year 7 boy walks past. Before he could get to his class Prince Alexis starts demanding some money and as always Amice walks over to him. ‘Alexis why don’t you pick on someone your own size’ she demands.

He turns around and looks at her as the boy run away. He silently walks towards her as she backs away from him until her back is against the wall. ‘Like you’ he said standing right in front of her.

Looking into his blue eye that had a tint of red in it she said ‘I am too small, so I am not your size.’

He places his hands on the walls with her face in between them inches away from her shoulders and looks into her own blue eyes. ‘I am going to tell you a secret’ He tilts his head and places his lips to her ears and says ‘You are the perfect size, my dear.’ He stayed like that way and as she too scared to move didn't try to push nim away until, they heard footsteps outside. What terrified her most was that she wished that he stayed there with her, but quickly shrugged it away.
