"Heavy weighs the crown,
A heart cries in silent plea,
Duty chains one down,
But life has no guarantee,
So he fights to be set free."
(Poem written by Vihuff, #158913)
Tau peered cautiously around the corner. The corridor was empty. A smile spread across his face. He quickly rounded the corner and sprinted down the spacious hall. His richly adorned claws clicked on the marble floors. His riches clung to him like ivy. Flower petals and leaves flitted around him and occasionally dropped to the ground, leaving a trail of nature. Tau turned another corner. The doors were so close. No one was around.
"Prince Tau!" A maid snatched Tau and turned him around. "Prince Tau! You know your father doesn't want you leaving the palace! You must stay inside, where it's safe."
Tau pouted. "What's so bad out there? The researchers? The Starfall Isles are a kingdom of knowledge, not of war. Please. Please let me go."
"Sorry your highness, but I have my orders. You are to stay in palace until you are of age." The maid smiled at Tau's pouting face. "Think of it from your father's point of view. You are his only heir. He's doing it out of love."
"It's not fair! All the other kids get to play and have fun! I've never so much as touched grass or swam in a river. I'm not a prince, I'm a prisoner." Tau pulled himself out of the maid's grasp and stalked away.
Night fell quickly. Tau rushed to his window and looked out. The palace stood high above everything and his tower was the highest. From his tower, he could see everything, even all the way to the Viridian Labyrinth. He wondered what the air was like there. Was it warm? Maybe humid? Did leaves get stuck in dragon's manes? Did they play in streams and swim in the rivers? He looked at Dragonhome. It looked so warm. He heard that dragons lived underground there. What did the mud feel like? Was it cold underground? What did the dirt do to their scales?
Tau sighed and sat heavily on the plush rug. His life felt like a fairy tale. If only some well dressed knightly dragon would come to his rescue. He laid on his back and imagined everything he would do if he were free. He wanted to feel mud and snow and rivers and the ocean. Were there really fish as big as imperials? What were beastclans like? He wondered what love was like. The maids said they loved and cared for him. His father said he loved him. But Tau had read about romantic love before. He wanted to know what it felt like. Was it warm? Was it all consuming?
Too bad Tau didn't know any knights.
But he did know a well dressed dragon. He turned and looked at himself in the mirror. He was a very attractive dragon. He flexed his wings a little bit. No one had ever taught him how to fly, but it couldn't be that hard. It had to be like second nature.
Tau climbed out the window and perched himself on the sill. It was a long way down. Plenty of time to figure out how to fly. He took a deep breath and leapt off the edge. He fumbled with unfurling his wings. The wind caught his feathered wings and he began to soar. Laughter tore from Tau's throat. He started to flap his wings and tilt.
He played in the air for the first time ever.
Tau looked back at the palace. He would never return there. If this was what freedom tasted like, he would never give it up.
