Forever Young (Isadora)

[Princess Polyxena]

Xenia was only eight years old, and unlike other little girls, spent her time learning how to be a good Princess and later a fair Queen. Others found her boring very often, as she didn't do anything extreme in her life. But this did not matter to her for Xenia wanted to travel with her father badly. But whenever he did travel he didn't take her with him because she was only a child. Though, Xenia was a Princess, her parents and everyone else treated her like a child. When all she wanted was them to not treat her like a little child, for she was very clever for her age. Since she spent all day studying!One day, her father told her that he was going to take her with him on his trip to the Kingdom of Gwent. Xenia was very happy because she didn't often travel. Her parents thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to meet Princess Isadora and form a friendship, as it will be very helpful in creating peace between the two kingdoms in the future.

The Kingdom of Gwent was only a two days journey from their kingdom. At the start of the journey, Xenia was very bubbly and full of energy and excitement, but eventually she grew tired. Since she was only a child and grew tired easily, she spent most of the time sleeping. When she was not asleep, she passed the time by speaking with her father and her maid or singing. And when she wasn't doing that, she was looking outside the window, looking at all the birds in the trees, making the two days pass by easily.

As they almost arrived to the castle, Xenia had her hair fixed with a help of her maid as her hair had come undone from the journey. Her father told her that she was going to meet a very nice little girl and encouraged her to become good friend with her. Xenia did not object. The opposite, in fact, she was rather happy that she was going to meet a girl and have someone to become friends with. Finally, the carriage stopped and a tall man was standing there waiting with a little girl standing next to him.

Isadora hadn't been excited for days, with the arrival of the Princess of Graecia looming. She knew little about the other girl, except that she was also a princess. Isadora had little opportunity to meet others of her station; she'd visited Camelot a few times, but while Arthur was a prince, he was also a boy. Noble children occasionally visited the castle with their parents, but otherwise, Isadora had little opportunity to mingle with children of the aristocracy.

"When will they arrive, father?" Isadora asked her father for the umpteenth time today, earning herself yet another exasperated sigh. Today was finally the day, and she had spent most of the morning fidgeting and making the maids crazy. It had taken them almost an hour to brush and dress her hair, between her fussing and her insistence that it had to be arranged just so. They might have complained if she weren't a princess, but she was, and such vanity was to be expected.

Finally, a messenger brought word that the royal party from Graecia was crossing into the city, and she rushed down to the courtyard to meet them. Her father was already there, and he smiled brightly at her before he took her hand, watching the castle gate for their guests. They didn't have long to wait before the carriage rolled inside, and footmen and stablehands rushed forward to see to the carriage as the door opened and the royals stepped down. Isadora smiled at them as her father stepped forward to greet his fellow king.

As well as they descended from the carriage, the two kings immediately greeted each other. Xenia was a little shy at first. But the other King smiled to her, and made her feel more confident. A bit of her shyness, now left, and Xenia smiled too to the young girl who was standing opposite of her now. Her father stroke her hair, and recommended her to the young princess. He know that Xenia need to get a little confidence, until she meet better with the young girl.

"Hi Isadora" said Xenia with a very low voice. Looked at his father's and he smiled to her. She smiled too. The other King recommended Xenia too, but as Polyxena. She give a swite smile, and made a step forward, and a graceful bow. Now the young princess smiled to her, Xenia get more confidence opposite to her, and born a feeling, to know her better.

Isadora smiled, looking up to the other tall man with a bright smile, then back down to the other little girl with excitement in her eyes. When he introduced her, she looked up at her father, who made a little motion for her to step forward. She did so, and dipped into an awkward curtsey, almost tripping over her own gangly feet at the attempt. She had been growing quickly lately, and her coordination didn't seem able to keep up with her stretching limbs.

She struggled to remember her etiquette lessons, resisting the urge to fly up to the other girl and shake her hand vigorously and introduce herself. She did so love having company, and she really hoped she and Polyxena could be the best of friends. "Greetings, Polyxena. It is...delightful to meet you!" She said sweetly, if a little stiffly, as the two kings looked on with smiles, before they engaged in their own conversation and left the girls to their own devices. "Welcome to Gwent!" Isadora added a little bit more energetically, now that their fathers weren't watching them so intently.

Xenia smiled with princess's awkward bow. Not with an ironic way, but sweet. This meant that she wasn't from these spoiled princesses. "Nice to meet you too, Isadora!" As Isadora was more comfortable, when their father started their own conversation, Polyxena was happy too. Now Xenia feeling more comfortable.

"You have beautiful hair, Isadora!" said and tended her hand to touch them. But immediately caught her hand, to avoid misunderstanding. Now she wasn't as shy as in the start. She was looking when they are going to show them the castle, and especially young princess's room. She also wanted to see the room, where she was going to pass the next days. But more than all, she wanted to become good friends with the princess. Maybe and best friends.
