Optimist Novels

Chosen by the Dragon For the first time in years, the imperial second prince was home, and it was on the week of the imperial dragon celebrations. To celebrate the event and the return of the prince. The king opened the doors to everyone in the kingdom to come and celebrate in the imperial arena. An orphan girl, last of her tribe, an excellent singer and dancer. Saw this as an opportunity for her to show people what she can do, she applied to be one of the dancers on the day. On the day, her turn came and as usual, she got lost in the music and dance that she only opened her eyes when a cold air fanned her face. The ice dragon was in front of her and she froze. *************** "Did you hear?" her eyes glittered with excitement. "Hear what Dona?" I asked my friend who squealed like a pig next to me and I shook my head. This friend of mine a bubble of happiness. "The second prince is home!" she tells me, my friend here always dreamed of being a princess, well at least a concubine to the prince since they hardly take wives but have many concubines. "Well, I get your excitement my friend I do, but you won't even get to see the prince so" I shrug and she stomps her feet like a five-year-old. "I will see the prince this time, when he first came, we were only kids but now we are old enough to work at the imperial palace as maids, that way we will get to see both princes all the time. Isn't great!" Oh, gods of our land, I should have known she had a plan to see the prince. "You have a good plan but" she cuts me short before I could finish. "No but's, my plan is perfect and all you have to do is say you are in then I will make it happen." I could not help but chuckle, her plans always got us into trouble with the madam growing up and they still do. "What are we going to tell madam because I didn't hear you mentioning her in your plan?" I asked and she rolls her eyes at me. "She is not as important as she thinks she is and will certainly not be wasting my time adding her to my plan. She is simple and greedy. People Like her love one thing, money. All we have to do is promise to send her all the money we make at the palace and she will send us off in royal horses." I laugh at how dramatic she is, but it is true the madam at the orphanage is very greedy and she would agree to that. "Now, what do you say, are you in or are in?" I swear my life will be nothing without this drama queen here but before I could answer her a royal bell rang and everyone at the marketplace kept quiet. "Citizens of imperial city, listen and hear the king's orders. This year the dragon king is opening the doors of the imperial palace arena to everyone, to come and celebrate the return of the prince as well as the imperial dragon day!" the messenger announced and I smile. "That is our way into the imperial palace, and we don't even have to lie. I will sign up as a dancer and you my friend can do what you do best." I tell her and she blushes. "Well, of course, I will look like a nobl

I opened my heavy eyes to see my maid covering her mouth with her folded palms with her other hand gesturing me to stand up. The whole room was chocked with smoke from the burnt alarm clock I had earlier sent bolts of electricity to due to it's loud and irritating sound which woke me up from my dream of kissing my crush. "Good morning Mark" Aunt Mary said amidst her numerous coughs. "This is the fifth alarm clock you have destroyed in less than a week" she said removing the duvet from my body. "Good morning Aunt" I said making a loud yawn, stretching my hands to opposite directions doing the same for my legs. "Get up now you will be late for school" she said pulling my left ear and dragging it, pulling me to the bathroom. "Now u give you ten minutes to freshen up, breakfast is waiting on the dining table" she said closing the bathroom door on me. I stretched my hands laying them on the sink staring into the mirror. I looked at my dark lips thinking of the dream I earlier had. "I must ask her out" I said to my reflection. I turned on the tap and rinsed my face. In exactly ten minutes I was done with freshning up and wore my uniform. It's only in Nigeria and high school student still wears uniform. The uniform was a yellow striped t shirt and a blue trouser. I attend Providence high school, the school is owned by the estate we live in. It's a school for the rich. I live in a duplex. I took my school bag which laid opened on the other side of my bed and I zipped it. I checked my phone to check the time and I saw 7:30 am. I walked down the stairs to the dining table and just took a bite of the sandwich on the round ceramic plate and gulped down the already cold tea. "Aunt Mary" I called. " Yes Mark" she answered walking out of the kitchen with a napkin which she used to clean her wet palms. "Where is dad" I inquired looking at the left overs on the unpacked plate on the other side of the dining table. "He is in the lab" " Tell him I am gone" i said giving her a light peck on her plumpy pecks as I bid farewell. I called Gabriel my best friend to come pick me up as he was 18 years already and his dad bought him a Lexus saloon car as his 18th birthday gift few months back. I am 17
