Chapter 3 Outside World

In the month of July the summer was beginning to end, Rabenda's tenth birthday was coming very soon and of course no one cared or remembered his birthday, in fact many birthdays have gone by with no one's knowledge.

The idea of turning ten years old without celebrating it saddened Rabenda on many levels, he felt that he must celebrate turning a decade old anyway possible, turning ten was not only a big deal to Rabenda but was also a huge deal among the royal Lavender family.

Turning the age of ten meant Maturity, Loyalty and Smarts. Ten was the age most of the Lavender males went off to train and go off into battle. This was Rabenda's dream to fight for his kingdom someday, even if his own people didn't like him.

Rabenda braided his long curly hair into four sections, adding some accessories he would occasionally find lying around the castle. He put on a cape, hood, and gloves on, hoping it would protect his identity.

Soon enough, after getting ready, Rabenda contemplated going out of his bedroom door, but he believed it was finally the time for celebration.

Rabenda peaked out of his room making sure no one was around. Since it was 5 am in the morning, everyone around this time was usually asleep. Rabenda carefully tip-toed out of the upstairs hallways and made his way downstairs, He heard a few guards walking around on the other side of the ballroom but no one was near the entrance. The young prince swiftly made his escape into the outside world and for once he finally got a breath of fresh clear air.
