    "FALLING"

“The dream was so really and I remember carry the sack of arrows on my back, but where I put it?” He asked himself...

       ...Celestin spend two days resting on his bed and his room was structured with a big windows near the tree and the breeze was coming from the peach tree through his window. Finally Celle woke up, came out his blanket, and walked towards the window to breathe in fresh air. He imagine about the strange dream he had last night at the palace‘s garden. “The dream was so really and I remember carry the sack of arrows on my back, but where I put it?” He asked himself. Celestin began searching. 

It was a hard struggles for him to find it, but at last he find it. “Ah, there it is on my tablet,” Celle thought happily, when he was interrupted by the bang on the door with Amen with his grandparents coming in. When his grandparents saw him walking, they ran after Celestin so they can hugged him. “Celestin, you are awake?” Phillip informed. “We were worry about you!” Christie sobbed while hugging her husband in tears. “Never do that again you stubborn child. You been laying on that bed for this pass two days. “How dare you make us worried like that?” Amen commanded in a broken crying voice. 

“Okay- okay, Amen that enough but Celle it true what Amen said,” Andrew sniffed. “Aww, I am sorry to worries you, but I am fully strong again. “I was in the Royal Garden at the palace’s ball last that night, but how didn’t get here?” Celle questioned. “You don’t remember?” Andrew asked. “No, how?” He interviewed back.“ The horrible beast appeared from nowhere and tore two people at the palace for breakfast in pieces and took one. It was very horrible also he told everyone to stay away from the Queen, because she is his future bride.” Christie broke in tears. 

“It was asking everyone if we know Duke Celestin Christopher, but we were to scared to revealed ourselves. So the beast told us it name is Raven and said that I will take this one as my prisoner.” Philippi groaned in a low crying voice. “Revan responds again that if we see Duke Celestin anywhere tell him that he has his subject to rescue, because is the chosen one of the Most High God and the future King of Zionsider!” Amen yelped. “So my dream was true it happened in real life? Grandmama- grandpapa, the beast attack the palace called by the name Raven?” Celestin informed. “Yes it happened the beast before us, slaughter two people for breakfast and left with one of us to his Dark Castle!” Andrew added. 

“Huh, it the same dream I have when I was sleeping outside the castle’s garden. Raven told me the same thing when he appeared to me- to stay from Queen Catherine!”  Celle gulped. “That’s weird but Her Majesty is happy that you didn’t show up at the Royal Ball. If you did shown up in there, the beast would slaughter you in little shreds,” Amen commented. “Yeah, she did but still that doesn't changed my mind of falling in love nor interesting in her!?” Celestin smirked. “Stubborn as usual,huh Celestine?” The maiden laughed yet Celestine went to look out the window. He was looking at the window, so his grandparents and the others went out to the living room. Philippi, Christie, Amen, Andrew nor Cele didn't know that Queen Catherine was coming to their house after hearing a knock on the door. 

Andrew went to check out the on a small window and discovered that it only was the Queen and her advisor guard Emma. “Who is it, Andrew?” Philippi demanded. “Sir, Queen Catherine is here!” He responded. “Open the door and let her in-what are waiting?” Christie added and looked at her husband in confusion like she saying to him “The Queen here proposed she’s worried about Celestin?”. “Right away sir!” He responded. Andrew went to open the door and Queen Catherine came in. “Your Highness you are welcome to our humble home. “Please sit down!” Philippi answered. “Thank you, Duke Philippi.” Queen Catherine exclaimed. “By the way how are you Your Majesty?” Christie asked. 

“I am fine Duchess Christie and I don't see Celestin is he here?” She informed in confusion. “He is in his bedroom! Can I call him and Amen please can you call Celestin, please?” Christie quizzed. “Yes ma’am!” Amen smirked. Celestin was still looking at the peach tree on his window when he was discontinued by the knocked on his door. “Who is there?” He examined. “It only me Celestin- can I come in?” She interviewed. “Ahh Amen, yes come in what is it?” He asked back. “Your grandparents told me to summon you!” The maiden responded. “Why?” The young Duke questioned. “Queen Catherine was worried about you, so she is here at your house,” Amen added. “Queen Catherine?” Celle suspended while opening his door opened with his mouth dropping. Celestin ran towards the live room and arrived at it in time and saw the Queen sitting on their favorite spot where they usually sit when they were kids.

“Well, look who had shown up if isn’t Celestin?” Catherine beamed. “Hmmm… umm… huh,yes that’s me and why are sitting on my favorite spot?” Celestin glared with a flushing face. “Actually not your favorite spot our favorite spot, Cele!” The Queen dazzled. “Why you… argh, just leave me alone at least for once, Catherine!” He frowned and burble in tears while looking at the wall. “Celestin, why you hate me so much- why?” Her Majesty informed. “Because you are so rude and heartless!” Cele answered and ran away to his room.“How rude- Celestin come back here and apologize!” Christie hissed. “Ummm, it okay Duchess Christie. I understand well I have to go at least his safe and healthy,” Catherine murmured in disappointment and walked away to her carriage. Soon the carriage went off the palace and reach it in time. Queen Catherine was walking through the hallways and through her throne room that night. When she sat on her throne, she cried bitterly looking at the bright full moon. “Why I am falling in love with the guy who isn’t interesting in me?” Catherine thought. 

“Emma, what did I do to deserve this kind of hurtful pains from him?” She asked her advisor guard. “Well, I don’t know for sure, but I think Duke Celestin is heartbroken from the past; when you were just a princess and he was a young Duke. His parentS and your parents  were closest friends.” Emma mumbled. “Heartbroken? What did I do to make him hate me so much? Emma, talk to me I am losing my mind.” Catherine sobbed. “Ah… losing your mind Your Highness very funny!?” Emma laughed. “Hmmm, just after Duke Celestin’s parents died you, him and Marcus were sitting on bench in the Royal Garden under the peach, orange and lemonade trees. You all were thirteen of age when Celestin’s grandparents called you to ask you a simple question, because them and your parents saw you sitting next to Celestin mostly rather than Marcus. 

Celestin was charming and you were gorgeous at such young age and he love you more then Marcus, so his grandparents asked. “Princess Catherine, between the two boys,who is the most young man deliquesce your heart- is Celestin or Marcus?” Duchess Christie asked you. “Ew, Celestine is way out of my league. I prefered Marcus, because is cute and kind, but Celestin is so humble and doesn’t talk to much. It’s borned me!” You said. Young Duke Celestin’s heart shatters when he heard you saying that he bored you. So when you ran back to the bench to sit next to him, he stood up and ran away back to his grandparents’ house.” Emma explained everything to her. “Ah huh, I can’t image I said such thing! I was such a fool and heartless to dyned my feelings towards him.” She groaned. “I fall in love with him for the first sight when he came with his grandparents. I was falling in love more and more by the day way before I met Marcus.” She confessed her feelings for Celestin, Emma. “Urgh, how useless of me!?” She growled.

Later back at the nobilities house, Cele was lying on his pillow looking at the full bright moon. “Hmmm,ah- the moon so beautiful this night!” He thought when Amen and Andrew busted in. 

“Hey, Andrew and Amen what did you want is Her Royal Majesty; want to have a word with me?” Cele questioned. “No, look at you- you are a mess knucklehead!” Amen snarled. 

“Look who's talking just leave me in peace?” Cele huffed. “Leave you in peace ugh- no way I  won’t leave you in peace. 

Look you just broke the poor gorgeous girl’s heart and she is the Queen for crying at loud!” Amen yelped. “Huh, like she did broke mine years ago. 

“Yeshe, young women this days I don’t understand them.” Cele sheshed.  “Excuse me? Hello you are talking to one!” Amen gnashed. 

“Eeshe, oh boy!” Andrew signed and began laughing when he saw Celestin and Amen arguing. 

After the young Duke and the maiden saw Andrew laughing, they too began giggling. “You know laughing is a good medicine!?” Andrew sniffed. 

“You can said that again, but guys I don't want to fall in love with, Catherine!?” Celle gulped. When Andrew and Amen were about to say something to him,they were interrupted by the bang on the door. 

“Who is it- isn’t grandma- grandpa?” He interviewed. “Yes Celestin, can we have a word with you?” Philippi domaded. 

“Okay, come in!” Celle signed after his grandparents came in. “Celestin, please can you come with us to Queen Catherine's birthday?” Christie suspended. “No, grandma no more birthday party from the Queen. Why can't I just have peace at least for once. Every time the Queen has this and that. Urgh at least I'm charming that Her Majesty won't leave me be. 

“By the way did this came from your pleading or hers?” Celle examined. “Yeshee, Celestin but looks like you're right it us. “We remember her birthday is tomorrow!” Both added. 

“Talking about the Queen. Okie- dokie, I’ll go because I don’t want Queen Catherine to be a lonely wolf!” Celestin winned while his grandparents and the others were laughing to his jokes.

“Lonely wolf, indeed?” Philippi cackled in laughter. “Lonely wolf ah, Celestin you're very funny!?” Christine giggled. “The Queen’s birthday is tomorrow Wednesday.” Philippi added. 

“Roger that, grandpa!” He grinned when his grandparents walked out the door. Andrew and Amen staying in Celestin talking to him of what gift he’ll give to the Queen.

At the palace Queen Catherine was thinking about Celestine. “I wish Celestin would bring me he’s delicious cake!” Catherine thought in disappointment, yet exciting about her birthday tomorrow morning, but sad at same time thinking if Celestin will come to her birthday.

 Celestin went to bed early, because he had something to do early in the morning. Early in the morning around five O’clock, Celestine woke up in the morning to bake the cake for Her Majesty.  

Then after that, Celestin go to the market to shop for the Queen’s gown, which is white her favorite color.

 It was a long struggles for him to finish the cake, yet he done it and told Amen to take it to the Central Park in the carriage while he go to take a shower. After shower and putting on his clothes, Celestine took the sack of arrows in case the beast appeared again and went to the market for shopping. Celestin arrived in time when he met his casual friend Marcus and his father Sir Espoir. 

“Well-well, what we have if isn't Celestin. Wearing white clothes as usual that not like you?” Marcus teased. “Urgh, yes Marcus white is my favorite color what about you?” Celestin questione.

“Light blue the Queen’s second favorite color!” He answered while looking at Celestin with a furious glared. “Ummm, isn’t that interesting? Well forget about that I didn’t come here to fight with you, Marcus.” Celestin replied. 

“Sir Espoir, can I have that white beautiful
