+Boarder of the Red and Blue Kingdom+

A little boy walks along the border of the two kingdoms on his side of the territory. Otherwise known as the Red Kingdom's territory.

"Tord, don't go too far now. We're only here for a small meeting with the King and Queen of the Blue Kingdom."

"I️ got it Dad." The boy chuckles as his dad ruffles his hair. "I won't go too far, promise." He didn't want to hear the adults talking since it often got boring as it goes on and on.

"Alright son, just make sure you come back when you hear us call for you." His father tells him in his gruff voice from some tiredness from waking early this morning to get here.

Tord nods to the other man sitting on his horse next to his dad. He turns away and runs to get closer to the lining border of the two kingdoms. You could tell the two territories apart because of how the forest just seems to slipt. On the red side, the tree trunks are a light oak color with red leaves growing from the branches while the blue side had dark oak tree trunks with light blue frosted leaves.

"Wow..." Tord's curiosity about the other side beckoned him to get closer. He took a few steps forward until he heard rustling from the blue side. "Who's there?!" The boy sternly questions, quick to put up himself in a defense stance.

"Ah!" Sounded from the other person. A small thump was heard meaning whoever it was fell.

Tord slowly looks over to find a small child laying on the grassy ground, looking younger than he is, probably about 1 or 2 years apart from him. He had a light shade of brown hair, a healthy complexion of skin, and modern clothes. Tord eyes narrowed, 'A commoner?' What put Tord off was that fact the child had white bandages wrapped around his head to cover their eyes.

"Who's there?" The boy on the ground asks sounding a bit scared.

Tord didn't dare say his name, for his status's in the Red Kingdom, but it doesn't mean he could still speak to him. "A citizen of the Red Kingdom, what are you doing at the boarders?" It was uncommon for a commoner to be here.

"I came with my family, they're meeting some people at the boarder to speak to some friends who now live in the Red Kingdom." The boy on the ground gets back on his feet, Tord noticing he's holding a small teddy bear in his arms.

Tord hums and taps the side of his head still feeling he should ask the kid about the bandages wrapped around his head to cover his eyes. "What's with the bandages?"

"Oh..." The kid touches his bandages. "My family wants little attention as possible, so all of us have some kind of cover up." He shrugs his shoulders and giggles.

The boy's laughter rang like melodies to Tord's ears. A sweet tune he found himself smiling at the other softly. "But I'm curious, how can you see without your eyes?"

"I taught myself to sense a lot of things around me while I'm blind with these bandages on. I sense your presence before, but your voice surprised me quite a bit."

"Then what am I doing?" Tord raised his hand to wave it back and forth quietly.

The boy in blue hums while trying to sense what Tord is doing across from him. "You're waving to me."

Tord chuckles and nods. "You're pretty good if you can't see. If you do become blind you'll have that six sense."

The two of them to continue to talk to each other back and forth. He found a warmth quelling in him, one similar to the feeling his dad told him about before. But he couldn't be quite sure just yet.

The child on the blue side goes quite midway through his happy ramblings. He head quickly turning to look behind him. "Aww looks like my mum and dad are calling for me."

Tord wanted to talk to him more, he couldn't leave yet. Just as the boy was about to walk away, the boy in red picked up his kingdom's most respected flower. "Wait!" The younger of the two turns around half way to look back at him. Tord gently throws the flower over to him, "You can keep that. A gift from me to you!"

The other boy catches it in his hands and feels it. He smiles, making Tord smile in return. The boy in blue reaches out to his left and plucks a important rose to his own kingdom. He walks over close to the boarder and reaches his hand out to hand it to Tord. "I might as well do the same."

The smile on the boy's face made Tord's heart melt at the sight. The red wearing boy accepts the flower with his hands, gently to not hurt his hands with the thorns like the blue boy was doing with his flower.

"Thanks for keeping me company!" The blue boy turns around once again, running off to go back to his family.

Tord watches him go off with sad eyes to see him go. He really hopes he could see him again he thinks as he walks back to the meeting point. "Wait- I forgot to ask for his name!" He hits his forehead for forgetting his manners.

"My Prince!"

Tord turns around at the sound of his personal aid and best friend. "Edd. What's going on?" He asks as he turns around to face his panting friend.

"I got so worried when I couldn't find you! The Kings were worried about you when you've been gone for more than and hour," Edd heaves himself up against a tree to catch his breath. "Let me catch my breath first before we head back." Tord laughs a little as he plays gently with the petal of the flower he was given. Edd sees the flower, eyes widening, "My Prince, that flower... Did you crossover to blue territory?"

"I didn't set in foot in their territory." Tord gently places the stem of the flower in the inner part of his jacket, careful not to crush the beauty. "I meet someone, a commoner from the Blue Kingdom. He's quite odd, but unique to say the least. He gave me the flower before he went back to his family." He looks back at Edd with a friendly expression, "And I remember telling you, you can call me by my name when the others aren't around."

Edd rubs the back of his neck as he smiles apologetically. "Sorry Tord, old habits die hard you know?" Before they became friends, the boy would always be calling him 'my prince' or 'sir'. So when they became friends, there was a little difficulty getting use to the name change. He pushes himself away from the tree all better now. "We should get back to the Kings now Tord. Your parents wish to speak to you."

"Alright then, let's go."

~Meanwhile~

The boy in blue sat in the carriage with his personal aid all giddy. "So how did you get that flower Tom? It's suppose to only grown in the Red Kingdom."

The now named boy, Tom, looks back at the other smiling. "I met someone who was standing on the other side of our boarder Matt. He gave me the flower as a gift." He smells the fragrance of the rose wafting to his nose lightly.

Matt, Tom's personal aid, grins, "Were they a guy or a girl?"

"A guy, he seems really nice and funny when we talked. I never expected him so kind as to give me his kingdom's beloved flower." A small blush appears on his cheeks at the kind gesture. The other boy was really sweet. "Holy knight on a farm! I forgot to ask for his name!" He says at the sudden realization.

Matt laughs and pats his friend on the soldier, "I'm sure you guys will meet again someday, but until then you have to carry on with your duties as a prince." Tom sighs and nods in agreement. "Come on, let's get those bandages off your face. Every citizen wishes to see those thrilling eyes of yours." Matt excitedly says as he claps his hands together.

"I'm sure my eyes are more scary than thrilling Matt." Tom sarcastically said to his friend as he lays the flower across his lap.

"Nonsense! Anyone who say anything bad about your eyes are crazy!" Matt nods to himself, "I'm sure your parents would agree." Matt knew that everyone in the Blue Kingdom loved their prince dearly and would never try to put him in harms way of anything. The citizens would do anything for him since Tom is always kind to help them anytime they were in a tight spot.

Laughing lightly Tom leans his head towards Matt, "Alright, Alright I get it. Now can we just get these bandages off?" Matt answers by moving his hands up to remove the long wrapped up cloth over Tom's head. He unhooks the holders and starts unraveling the piece of cloth. The cloth falls to the floor of the carriage with a light sound. Matt leans back in his seat like Tom does.
