Settling to talk (River)

Her long silver hair was in a tight braid like always, a lovely crown was set softly at the top of her head. Her dress was a little below the knees and it was made if white with gold lining and puffy sleeves. She slowly entered the room, escorted by Ie'Yoshu and Au'Yoshi both warriors of the light nation, a heavy smile was on all their faces, especially Lona as they entered the big room." Thank you boys." She twirled around to thank them as they dismiss themselves


It was now Lona. She walked the big room, probably known as the family room. she was alone right now. Giving her enough time just to think and to check out the nation.



She made her way to the balcony. A soft breeze seem to welcome her out side. As she got greetings from a tree with flowers blossoming. The light capitol. The people. It was all beautiful. She decided to sit on the railing of the balcony and sing herself a little song. One she heard of, one that she heard a elderly woman who lived in the light kingdom sing. Her mind then went to the history of the light kingdom. Then her family. Her family. A loving father and mother a half brother a light bender. She kind of wish to be one but there was no use. Usually benders used their powers for war and stuff like that. Lona hated war. she couldnt stand the sight.Oh my gosh! How could she forget? One more family member. The baby in the way. She personally wanted it to be a girl. Do she can teach her stuff. About the nation and history.

The day in deed was beautiful and with every day that pasted, Naomi's Belly became more and more swollen. She was in her last moon of the pregnancy and kind of frightened but kept it together. It had been 14 yrs since she had a child and now that she is having the next child She is so happy yet also nervous. With her first child, Lona, The queen almost lost the girl because she wasn't strong enough. Compared to then and now the only difference was age. Naomi had married and concieved at a very young age but it wasn't un-natural. Lona was born when the queen had just reach 17; which would explain why the princess almost didn't make it. This go around, Naomi prayed to the spirits once more to help her through the prgancy and borne a heathy new born. Personal Maids and body guard follow the queen around daily to ensure safty for her and the baby.

Foot step tapped against the elegant marble floors ofthe palace.From the sounds of it the shoes were flat but followed by many other foot prints. It was Queen Naomi, entering the Lage room. She often came there to relax and get off her swollen feet during the day. At this stage, her back, feet, and many other parts of her body ached. And Rest was always longed for. The queen's eyes looked up to the the balcony for where she saw Her first child, Lona. "Ah, Lona. There you are." As smiled as she seemed to be wondering where her daughter was off to. The child was a nonbender, like the queen, and Queen Naomi enjoyed the company of her child and the common similarities they shared.

"How are you doing my child?" A soft smile slipped across her lip as she walked over to the princess on the balcony and taking a seat in her often-sat-in-couchined-Chair. She seemed to aborb the sun like it was the last time she was to see it and the smell of the flowers around the palace. She placed ehr hands on her stomach, looking about and waiting for a reply.

The balcony over looked the royal garden but also over looked the kingdom also. Down below in the garden where the sun shined, Sat the Crowned Prince. He was meditating in the light of the sun and seemed to be focusing on it's energy more than it's heat. He was bear chested and shoe-less. This wasn't uncommon for him while training and infact was sort of like a tradition. Infront of the prince was the king, who also was in meditation: Shirt-less and Shoe-less. The kings muscules and battle scars showed in the sun but surely noting for the king to hide. He wore them loud and he wore them proud.

Lona's eyes were on her father and brother. Steo brother. She smiled at how they sat there meditating just alike. That same smiled stayed on her face as her mother asked her how she is doing. Still sitting on the railing she twirled around to face her mom." I am doing good, and you?" She asked her eye moving slowly to her mother's belly. Any day now? She didn't know and didn't care.



As long as there was a baby. To bring back life back to the palace. And joy to everyone, hearing little giggles would make everyone happy. She rememebered the stories of her years of a baby. How she would obey but how she would just talk to everyone, sharing her thoughts and opinions and how she really didn't cause trouble but liked to play games with everyone.


A sigh came out her mouth as her look shifted to Nuiga. He seemed to be by a guard, Patroling like the good light tiger he was. He looked up at Lona and growled. He was now happy. Lona waved to him. He tipped toe closer to her, soon under the balcony and ready to climb.

Naomi's eyes had also noticed the tiger in the court yard as Lona spoke. "I am doing good, and you?" Her daughter asked look at the queen and then soon to the child within her belly. Queen Naomi smiled Heartfully, "I'm am doing my best to keep my mind at bay. Your young sibling is quiet good at keeping my might on them." She joked, refering to the baby's painful kicks that made her jump ever so often, holding her side.

Yet that brought up another question that Everyone was wondering since she was first with this child; Was it a Prince or Princess? Many had their thoughts and idea of which gender it is, but they were mostly hopes and dreams as it wasn't certian to know. There was also many Medical professors in the world that said shape and size of the mother's stomach could determinded the gender. Wide if it was a girl and more forward/outward if it was a boy. Naomi had spend hours of her time before and after bathe time to try to determind the size and shape but she eventually just got herself confused.

The king was determind it was a boy and his son was just as sure. But as for the queen, She didn't care what gender it was, just that it would be delivered safely and healthy.

"Say Lona, My dear. Your father and I was going over a few Baby names and we... well I, Was wondering, would you have any suggestions for a name? Both boy or girl." Queen Naomi asked, wanting to hear the voiced input of her daughter. He valued everyone's opinion and in fact took them to heart.

Lona smiled as she put a hand on her chin." I like Meili for girl and..,... well I dunno for boy." She told her mom." Maybe after someone in our Nation's history?" Lona asked a strand of hair stood out of her perfect braid, Nuiga finally made it to the top of the balcony. Lona started to touch his head as she started thinking, a question's been bugging her all day but she seem to keep it in. Finally she hopped off the balcony. And finally she took a seat next to her mom a small chair but still big enough for her to sit in. Nuiga had his whole body on the balcony taking a seat between Lona and the queen.


" Mother. What will happen to our nation? In a war?" She always wanted to know but never got to say it.

Naomi thought that the baby name was sweet and was a possiblity if the child was a girl. A smile slipped onto her face as the tiger reached the top. Naomi ws happy and Care free, thinking of the future and such. She held her large stomach with one hand and rubing it with the other.

"Mother, What will happen to our nation? In a war?" Lona's voice asked curiously.

The queen looked up from her unborn child and into her daughter's eyes. There was a pause at first as she tried to figure out a way to respond to Lona. "Well.." She started to speak before pausing, "We would fight our enemy in order to keep our nation safe away from the invading enemy. Your father and your brother would fight to keep us and our people from harm's way." There was another pause, "Our kingdom is strong my darling, and We are at peace. I can guarntee we will no be facing war any time soon, my dear. The Vermilion Empire will see to that." The womens answer was calm and controlled as she ensure her daughter. "Why do you ask?"

Lona shook her head as her pretty Hazel eyes trailed off." I just wanted to know, I care for this nation." She told her. Her eyes soon was on the Royal garden. But then it went to Ie'Yoshu and Au'Yoshi. She was a actually watching there bending. Light bending. It was fascinating. Actually to her all bending was great. She sighed, like always as she took her braid and rapped it around until she had a perfect bun on the top of her head. Her hand collapsed in her lap. She still admired the day. But then she smiled.


" I would like to see the Capitol here." She smiled at her mom, trying to persuade her." I think we should throw a small party, a celebration for....... the baby!" Lonaclapped as she ended the sentence.

Lona's Mother looked at her daughter as she said she wanted to throw a party for the coming baby. Naomi smiled and nodded, "I'm sure that will be alright with me, although you know the decision lies in your father's Hands. You have to ask him." A small chuckle escaped herlips as she looked down at the two in the court yard.

Both Prince Keiichi and King Daisuke had ended their meditation session. The king was responding to a few advicers that approached him with the day's schedule. Meanwhile Prince Keiichi trained with a rock dummy.

Keiichi's Moves were quick, and Sharp yet soft, just like light. He was also Light bending, and working on his technique. Naomi Catch a glimse of The king take a look at the prince. She could tell he was proud of his son and they both knew Keiichi wouldbecome a wonderful and Strong king one Day.

"Looks as if their done with their Meditating this Noon, You'd better catch him before the advisers rope him into his duties of this day." The queen half joked with Lona but knew that if she didn't get to him before he start with his paper work, hearings, and judgemets; Then she would never get a word in with King Daisuke.

Lona smear at her mother. Even though her mother was joking, she was right. Her father was a busy man like most kings. Lona pulled herself out the chair. She swiftly but gracefully walked over to the balcony edge and peeped over to look at her father. He looked as if he was to already get started on his busy schedule. Lona waved as if he could se her as she shouted for him." Daddy!" She said in her sweetest voice. She paused for the moment to see if he would turn around to glimpse at her.



" Daddy, I think it is time to invite the Capitol of the nation to the palace so we can throw a party of the baby. Would you please approve?" She eyes soon seemed to grow into puppy dog eyes. Her sad look to get her father's attention soon move to look at Keiichi. She smiled at her brother's concentration. How even though it was a Rick dummy, he seem to treat like a real live battle. She kind of wish she had that kind of confidence. Well she did but not in fighting, fighting wasn't in her nature for some odd reason. That's why she was followed around by the light warriors. Because if she ever was in trouble she wouldn't know what to do at the time. Actually she is still thinking if combat. Could she do it? Probably not

The king paused, raising his hand to his advisor for silence as he looked up at his daughter on the balcony. She seemed to be pleading him to throw a party for his newest child. Normally in his family he waited until the child was born before the throwing the party. She looked at his with sad pleading eyes. He sighed as he looked away and to his Advisors, "Please inform the Capitol that there will be a party held in the palace for my unborn Child, tomorrow night at Sun fall." The king informed the men. The men swiftly bowed and walked off, Taking to their new task that was appointed to them. Afterwards Daisuke looked to Lona and nodded in approval.

Keiichi breathed as he over heard the order from his father. "A party? For an unborn child? I thought yuo held the party for the child's birthday, father." The king looked back t his son, nodding, "Traditionally, yes. Byt with new life come new times, my son. It is a rule everyone eventually learns. Now then back to your training."

Keiichi sighed sharply and shook his head. He seemed to disagree but did not protest his father, instead he went back to the rock dummy and continued his training.

Naomi stood up just in time to see the kings approval of his daughters Request.The queen Smiled, turning to Lona. "Looks as if you have a party to help your mother prepare for." She gave a small giggle of amusement.

It was too long after the king agreed that a maid or two appeared at the enterance of the door. "My lady, It time for your bath. Also we would like to size you for a dress to wear tomorrow Night." The woman respectfully requested. Naomi nodded voicing kindly that she'll be along in just a moment. "Well I'm off, Stop by my chamber here later. There We can talk more about this party of the night of tomorrow.
