All that could be heard throughout the west tower was the heartbreaking sods of poor Arabella as she looked upon her gift, the sender did not leave a note but she could gusset who left it. The only person in the place that knowledge her existences was her dear aunt Marbella, the woman who help name her and care for her, that was till she passed away 6 years ago, leaving her completely alone. As she gazed upon the gift the wrapping looked fade and so did the ribbon that were frying at the end.

Whipping her tears away she picked up the first box, when she removed the wrapping paper she found a large ornate maple jewelry box, inside was her aunts favorite jewelry, a small picture of the two of them the summer before she died and upon gazing the picture she realized that this was the last time she truly felt loved. Among these there was a beautiful ocean blue ribbon with a small bracelet and earrings that were make from sapphire wrapped inside. When seeing these warm her heart in a way it had not done in years.

Then she went to pick up the second box to find a letter stuck to the side, picking it up and putting it to the side before opening the next gift. Inside this one she found 5 books, the first book was a music book on the violin her secret pleasure, the book contains multiple songs, note and theory's. The second book was on the far west, her aunt have often frequent this place bring strange gift and story home with her, from the city of light. The third book was once sword fighting and different combat skills, there was a bookmark sticking out. Upon opening the book she realized the bookmark was place to the self-defense chapter. Laughing to her self as she read the little side note left by aunt 'I think you may need this'. She started taking up sword fighting after she turned 13. The fourth book was on magic, wild magic, that she was bad from doing when she was ten but continued to practice in secret. The final book was her aunt diary on her adventure around the globe.

Remembering the love her aunt felt for her, she gathers her courage she picks up the letter

'*Dear Ara,

As my time draws near, my thoughts are of you my beloved niece, the first time I held you in my arm I knew you were important even if my sister did not see it. There is not much I can do for you now as my time is coming to a close but one thing I can do is give you some of my knowledge, in my dairy you will find the things I have learned and experience over the years. In the box I have left you there is a hid compartment of gold and silver coins. For my greatest and finally wish is for you to be remembered, loved and to have a life that you find for yourself away from being the forgotten princess.

My advice is to travel the far west see the sight but as I know my sister and I have seen how they treated you in your first twelve years of life I encourage you to get revenge on those who have wronged you, and make them regret ignoring you. If you need help head to the white castle in the city of light and ask for Marco he will help.

With all my love and my last dying breath I wish you goodbye my love and light.

Your dear aunt Marbella.

P.s press the clover on the box.'

Whipping the tears that now filled her face once more she reopened the box to find a button on the inside of the box when she pressed it the middle sprang open revealing a pouch full of gold and silver. Gently folding the letter back up she placed it in the compartment, then close the box back up. When closing the lid she noticed a small clover on the top. When she taped it the box quickly shrink in to a small four leave clover charm. When she tapped the charm the box returned to its original shape like nothing had happened.

As she got up from the floor a wave of tiredness roll over her like a wave on a beach and as she collapse on to her bed and slipped inro a deep slumber she had completely forgotten adout the rabbit still sat in wait on her bed*.
