Vilo walked into the room to find Thea Blackmoore lying on her bed, completely passed out. The festival that night had been loud, large, and long, and with Thea the center of attention, everyone was vying for her hand in marriage, which Vilo was sure was in the least interest of Thea.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡab1qYIDEDi 維尼
Thea stirred then groaned, slowly waking up, the noise a reminder to Vilo of why she was in Thea's room in the first place, to light a few lamps and get the fire started. 8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPYw3A8dYK 維尼
"Hey Vilo," Thea mumbled, "isn't it nice to see you."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoJ1U7ZeKX 維尼
"You're tired, Thea, get more sleep." Vilo told her annoying friend and owner, well, that's the best word Vilo could think of, she was more like a maid who got paid by the Blackmoore family in food, shelter, and education, which was a lot better than most people got. 8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAhS5drai0 維尼
It was 2119, and the whole world was lit by candles and worked by people like Vilo. The Blackmoore family was the royal family in Cascadia, and Thea would one day rule a country, a country run by her, but worked by people. 8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhkuL2znuy 維尼
"I've slept enough," Thea's voice broke through Vilo' s thoughts, "let's go do something fun. Like biking."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBNpT65CPt 維尼
"Bike where?" Vilo crossed her arms and tried to look important.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BeWhvkWUi 維尼
"Wildwood," Thea quickly responded.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE5byaU3yB 維尼
"First, no way, too dangerous, second, do you remember last night?!"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q8MotBcMd 維尼
"Yeah, big party, lots of drink idiots thinking they were worthy of my non-existent love. They don't have a chance with me, and they wouldn't even know why."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7HQC4fBgY 維尼
"Are you still caught up with that? You know your parents might be okay, but the rest of the citizens won't. I thought you decided to try to pretend. Try hard to make it seem natural."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI7llGdzxz 維尼
"That's the problem, it's not natural. Guys are weird, and annoying. Plus, I'd rather travel the world."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wtwFyADZH 維尼
Vilo burst into laughter. That was a new one. "You, travel the world? You'd have to mutilate your face to keep mobs if people from following you."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtylafM7dI 維尼
"People outside of Cascadia wouldn't know my face if it was staring at them. Plus, I don't want to go anywhere close, I want to cross the ocean."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS8qbnXEXP 維尼
"Sorry Thea, but no one has crossed the ocean, and no one will. " by now, Thea was up and walking towards the newly lit fire. She sat down on the dark wood floor, letting her body warm. Even to Vilo, Thea was a mystery. Even to Vilo, who had grown up with her, the princess was a complete, and utter mystery. 8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡjObdhmlzdr 維尼
Thea wanted to explore, but not for the sake of her country, up until now, it was just Cascadia, but now her views had expanded to the world. Vilo left the room, wondering if something important happened at the festival. 8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hjtyC6wNk 維尼
Something had happened to Thea. She met someone, a guy her age, named Ev, and a girl named Igg. Ev was a good dancer, and for once, didn't want to win her heart, like all the other dancers, and Igg was a good kisser, but unlike all the other girls Thea had kissed, this one wasn't out of attraction, it was to get rid of the suitors. And damn was it effective.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmRAdtRnfH 維尼
