I saw you, you were soo little.” her Grandmother responded while hugging her back. “It’s so good to finally see you again my Dear.”

 

 

            “You too Grandma.” she smiled at her Grandmother.

 

 

            “I just finished baking some cookies, why don’t Anny show you to your room and then we can have some snacks after you’re done, how does that sound?” her Grandmother suggested and gave a heartwarming smile.

 

 

            She nodded in response and started following her cousin upstairs.  

 

 

            “Sooo… how long have ya been here Anny?” Heylan asked her cousin.

 

 

            “About 5 days ago” she replied simply.

 

 

            She nodded at her short response and began on unpacking her stuff to her current room. The room was nice and simple. The walls were painted a light shade of mint green and have this homey effect.  She wondered how her Grandparents gave this house a homey effect. Trying to figure it out like a puzzle, she was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts when her cousin started bugging her to come downstairs and eat some snacks. The cookies her Grandma made, is just simply delicious, and to crave for.

 

 

 

As they were sitting in the first floor balcony, her Grandmother brought them snacks and the cookies she baked. Trying to be a good Grandchild her cousin Anny, helped their Grandmother with carrying the trey.

 

 

“Thanks so much Dear,” her Grandmother gave a grateful smile to her Cousin and pinched her cute cheeks making it go red.

 

 

They sat on the chairs around the table and started on their conversation, about school, life back home, the old days and so on.

 

 

“Hey Grandma! Is there any cool interesting stories, folklores, legends, or myths in this place?” Anny suddenly blurted out, eyes sparkling with interest and excitement. Her Grandmother turned around and looked at her.

 

 

“Why do you ask Dear?”

 

 

“Well… it’s kinda my interest, and I find it really fascinating about stuffs like that,” She stated simply while fiddling her hands.

 

 

Upon hearing her cousin, Heylan would also like to know. Even though she is not the type on believing stuff such as that, but it also gave a little bit of curiosity and interest.

 

 

“Well… actually there is this story,” he Grandmother started. “It is a place full of wonders and adventure. A place or world called ‘Athiel’, it is a magical place with kingdoms and dragons and creatures that you can see in fairy tale stories.”

 

 

They started listening attentively to their Grandmother as she proceeds on telling the story.

 

 

“There are various kingdoms in that place, but one kingdom that is called ‘Neveth’ is ruled by a very notorious King and wanted nothing more than to rage war with the other kingdoms in order for him to take over and expand his land and gain some more power.”

 

 

“However the King of that place is not really King at all, he’s actually one of the Council men of the Kingdom, he only took that position, when the real King died..”

 

 

“Aren’t there any heir to the throne Grandma? Why is the fake king taking over?” Anny asked with curiosity.

 

 

“Hush, patience now child, I will get to that. Actually there is an heir to the throne, the Prince named ‘Kiev’, he was supposed to be the one to take over in his Father’s place to the throne, but apparently he disappeared when the real King died.”

 

 

“He disappeared?” asked Heylan.

 

 

“Yes, he disappeared. No one knows where he is.” Her grandmother responded. “Some say he fled to another kingdom, or someone killed him just for the throne. No one really knows.”

 

 

 

 

 

End of Chapter 2.

 

 

 

 

A/N: Unbelievably, it is actually difficult to write a story that uses a Narrator’s point of view. O.O’ So that’s why for the slow update and short chapters.

 

I bet your asking “Why use a Narrator’s point of view and not simply using one of the Characters? Its easier that way”

My answer to that would be “Challenge. I love a good writing challenge.  And also, so that I won’t have to switch POVs every time”

 

Boring Writer much? >> Me.

*Sigh* I kow it’s a little boring at first, but I assure you that it will get interesting in the near future. I already planned on everything that will happen ;)

I told it to my Friend, what he thinks about the story. And he said “He love it!” but he won’t read it until I reach 20 chapters.

 

Lol ok this note is a bit too long. Sorry  about that.

Ok….*awkward silence*

I need to Stop now…..

Chapter 3: Meet the neighbors

 

 

After their Grandmother told them the story, Heylan went to her room and unpacked her things.

She had not noticed that her cousin Anny was by the door observing her.

 

 

            “Hey Can I talk to you?” she asked.

 

 

“hmmm…. About what?”

 

 

“About Grandma’s story, it’s fascinating, don’t you think? That place called Athiel, sounds like it came from a fantasy book,” her cousin chuckled.

 

 

“It is just a story Anny, it is not real. There is no such thing as a place called Athiel with as magic’s, Dragon and other creatures. It is merely a figment of somebody’s imagination,” she stated simply.

 

 

“Awwe, your no fun Heylan. However, wouldn’t it be awesome if there was? Why, I might even figure out why the Prince disappeared,” she laughed and gave her cousin a grin, “If I did however find the Prince, we might not know that me and him will fall in love with each other and live happily ever after,” she added while sighing dreamily.

 

 

“You and your fairy tale beliefs,” Heylan rolled her eyes, but could not hide her smile that was starting to form from the corner of her lips.

 

 

“And you, and your scientifical beliefs,” her cousin retorted with an eye roll.

 

 

Shaking her head in response, she continued on finishing on what she was doing.

 

 

“Girls! We have neighbors here, would you like to meet them?” their Grandfather called from down stairs.

 

 

“Hey! It must be the neighbors that hangs out with Grandpa!” her cousin quickly Drag Heylan towards the living room from downstairs.

 

 

“Woah calm down Anny, we will get there, sheesh.”

 

 

“I’m just excited Heylan! Their around our age!” she exclaimed with pure excitement. How amusing was this to Heylan.

 

 

When they reached to the living room, Heylan immediately stopped and stared at the 3 guys for a while. “Alreich?” she asked.

 

 

“Why Heylan its you! I never thought that we live close by.”

 

 

“You guys know each other?” Her Grandfather asked.

 

 

“We met at the plane travelling here.” She explained.

 

 

“Oh, well then, uhh Heylan, Anny, these are our neighbors. This is Javier, Steven and of course you already met Aldreich.” Their Grandfather introduced them to the three guys.

 

 

Heylan walked towards Aldreich and drag him outside through the back door. She ignored the weird looks that was coming from her Grandfather, cousin and her two other neighbors.

 

 

 

 

 

Once they were out of hearing range from the others, she turned her attention to Aldreich.

 

 

“Wow, you move fast, I must say,” Aldreich said jokingly.

 

 

“I thought, you were gonna visit your old man?” Heylan asked.

 

 

“Well… yes, but as you can see, my Father which is the ‘My old man’ I’m referring to…. He’s dead, and I’m staying at my uncle’s place and my cousins’. This place is where I had my fun memories with my dad, and where he is buried,” He explained uncomfortably with a sad smile.

 

 

“Oh, I didn’t know… You didn’t need to tell me that.” She responded somewhat unsure.

 

 

“It’s ok, I have no reason to hide it. And besides, if I want to move on from the past, saying that to someone I just met is a great way to start, and also I trust you, you’re a good person I can tell.” He explained. Heylan was taken aback from his explanation. He trust her.

 

 

 

“Oh.” Was her genius respond. She has not noticed that she was already blushing. How can this person trust her so easily? And they just met? She asked herself.

 

 

“Are we just gonna stay here? Or head back inside? They might wonder, why you just suddenly dragged me here,” Aldreich reasoned.

 

 

“Uhh yeah, Uhmmm… let us head back then.”

 

 

 

 

 

“Why did you guys just suddenly exited?” her cousin Anny asked.

 

 

“We were just talking,” was Heylan’s short response.

 

 

“Oh ok, by the way Lan, these guys wants to show us around the place, or the forest, isn’t it exciting?” her cousin said happily.

 

 

“Really? When?”

 

 

“Tomorrow, how does that sound?” their Grandfather piped in. “I thought that it would be good for the both of you to explore our town, and it’s beautiful scenery, and what better way to that, but with these guys here? Their outgoing and they know all the good spots too.”

 

 

“Yeah, that is if you guys are willing? You guys are our only neighbors here in the area, we would like to show you guys around. Oh and I’m Steven by the way.”

 

 

“And I’m Javier, nice to meet you,” the other guy introduced.

 

 

“Oh…uhhh…. Yeah yeah sure, that would be lovely. I’m Heylan by the way, it’s also nice to meet the both of you.” She said while shooking their hand one at a time.

 

 

 

 

 

The next day…..

 

 

 

 

 

“Wake up! Wake up!” her cousin said while jumping at the end of Heylan’s bed.

 

 

“What is it?” she mumbled in her half sleeping state.

 

 

“Heylan come on! Did you forgot about the tour our grateful neighbors offered us?” her cousin said while still trying to wake Heylan by keeping on jumping.

 

 

“It’s sooooo early. Limme go back to sleep,” she mumbled, her voice muffled because of the pillow.

 

 

 

“Come on Heylan! I’ll scream at your ears if you’re still not up by the count of ten.”

 

 

 

“Whatever,” she mumbled.

 

 

 

“One,” her cousin started counting.

 

 

 

 

Still not waking up.

 

 

 

 

“Two”

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing.

 

 

 

 

 

“Three”

 

 

 

……

 

…….

 

 

 

 

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!” her cousin screamed, resulting Heylan falling offfrom the bed.

 

 

“Jesus Christ Anny! What the heck? I though you said ‘at the count of ten?’” she snapped.

 

 

“What? I’m not a very patient person my Dear cousin,” her cousin responded cheekily, which earned a glare from Heylan.

 

 

 

“My, you two are up early.” Their Grandmother commented sitting at the chair next to a table, while drinking her morning coffee.

 

 

“She screamed at my ears,” Heylan pointed at her cousin who gave an innocent smile.

 

 

“She was being difficult on waking up Grandma, So.. I just let my scream do the waking,” she reasoned earning a chuckle from their amused Grandmother.

 

 

“Well… enough with that how does eggs and bacon sound?” their Grandmother asked.

 

 

“Yes!” they both responded eagerly.

 

 

They both wondered what the day has to offer for their tour, and what awaits them. The both were excited just thinking about it, and carried on with their breakfast.

 

 

 

 

End of Chapter 3.
