Protocol

Thursday, 26 April 2007

Well, now that my mom's back, things have changed a hell lot in Imbross. The palace is a lot tidier, the maids and butlers all seem to work in a much organized way, and their seem to be more activities for the palace, from the palace to the kingdom and in the kingdom itself. It's amazing how she's managed to pull everything up so fast and so efficiently. Sometimes, mother amazes me. Even dad seems to be much more serene these days, smiling without a reason to do so or whistling sometimes in the halls. When I'm around, it makes me somewhat nostalgic. It's as if everything had continued from where it left off. It almost feels as if those 100 years that had gone by, never happened; as if I had been sleeping and suddenly I woke up into my life again. Mom knows I feel this way, it's almost as if she can read it in my eyes. I adored her, still do, but sometimes we clash. We're exact opposites. Doing a comparison taking in account our original forms, it would go something like this: her hair is light blonde, mine is a crimson color (hers is longer, waist long); her eyes are gray, mine are golden... after that we're about the same height and physically I don't remember any other difference. As you can see, I'm more like my dad, as to eye color and hair color, but sometimes I think my mom and I are more alike than anyone else. It's like she can read my thoughts sometimes, but I guess that can be motherly intuition sometimes, right?

I mean... I'm nothing like her! She uses more healing and defensive magic than offensive. She's quiet and very reserved. Her life is about following the rules, mine is all about breaking them and making new ones! She's very traditional, I'm revolutionary. She can sing, dance, play instruments... COOK! She hates getting dirty or getting involved in dangerous situations. I can sing, sure, even dance, but NEVER cook, I love getting into trouble, and danger is my middle name (yeah, I'm copying James Bond, SUE me). Taking all this into account, how is it that sometimes we look at each other and we know just how the other feels? How come she says the soothing words I need to hear in any given moment? Now that she's back I realized just how much I had missed her, and she knows this because she smiles at me just as if she knew.

Well, point is... I'm glad she's back. She was very surprised when I updated her on everything she's missed. She couldn't believe *I* was living in the human world and less alone "dallying" with humans. But then she just laughed and said that just proved I had 'matured' enough to understand others as well as myself. She never told me about the things she did when she was younger, before she got married to Dad, but I think there's a lot more to her than she lets others know. hehe. I guess we ARe very alike after all.

As for me, I haven't being doing much. I'm trying to take things easily, slowly, step by step. Right now, alone, in Imbross, with Drafo working with Caterina's dragon, and my parents doing God knows what, and everyone else busy, I seem to find peace. I'm currently writing this in the gardens, where you can listen to the sound of the water rushing through the trees. I guess you could say I'm lonely, but I've realized that's not so bad anymore. I seem to be in great company with myself, since i've never let myself down. I know... this might not make much sense, but I feel like if there's so much I've done, that now, I can relax, I can flow a bit without any trouble. My mom was talking to me about marriage, telling me how she married at 350 and that i'm already late at 419, but I tell her I'm fine. Me... MARRIED? That's funny, but who knows... there are some prospects around...
