It was another bright and colorful day on the planet CelestialCloud. Ember was the only thing or person that wasn’t the brightest or most colorful. Only thing colorful about her was her bright red hair and green eyes. Though that wasn’t enough for her on this planet, especially in this town. The town of Celestia. The town that the royal family lives or did live.
Ember walked into a small diner, where ever she went she got strange looks and murmurings initially pointed towards herself. She moved to town not long after the royal family went up in flames. That was when she was sixteen. That was eight years ago. She was still getting the looks. She was still getting the judgments. She sat up at the bar and asked for an Iced Tea and a Breakfast Platter.
“Do you have the money to pay for this?” Asked the waitress.
“If you must know, yes I do. You ask me this every damn time!” Ember snapped back at her.
The waitress looked at her with a shocked look. “No need to get hostel. I will call the authorities. How do you even get money? This is a small town and it’s not like anyone ever sees you work.”
Ember frowned and bit her lip. “I work in another town since you guys won’t give me a chance. Now, may I please get my order?”
The waitress rolled her eyes, but nodded her head.
On the tv was a live broadcast. “Today marks eight years since the bodies of our beloved God and Goddess was found in the rubble of the castle in our own town of Celestia.It also marks eight years that our beloved Goddess Princess Cyra has gone missing. She was not found in the rubble. I’m here with the new God of the Town, The God and Goddess Nephew, August. The reporter said and gave a bow to the God and handed him microphone.
“Today marks another sad day for my family. I think what hurts more than knowing my Aunt and Uncle are gone is not knowing the whereabouts of my beautiful cousin, Cyra.” August sniffled and wiped his eyes. “It was hard for me to take over the kingdom knowing she could still be out there and knowing she is the rightful heir to the throne. Tonight our flag will be at half mass and a search party will be out in the woods and closer towns to look for our beloved heir. Remember she has beautiful long red hair and beautiful unique teal eyes. He said and handed the microphone back to the broadcaster and it ended.
Ember watched and didn’t even noticed her food had come. She only snapped back to attention when she heard someone say that it was probably her who started that fire. Just because she moved into the town a few days after the fire. She rubbed her eyes as her contacts were starting to burn her eyes. She sighed and started to eat her food in silence. Once she was done she paid and headed home to relax.
