seconds, and first steps.

Seren

I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Destined to seek, destined to know

A wagon? Frankly, it sounded quite interesting too. "Okay, daddy." Her reply was a little breathless, and not so much because of excitement this time. Her small lungs were straining for the first time, as was her legs, and her whole body ached too. It was very new. Mother had explained it, but to reiterate; it was very different to experience it.

Father noticed her plight before she had to ask for help. The ground disappeared beneath her feet and there was a swooping in her belly as he picked her up. Laughing freely at the tickling sensation, she wrapped her arms around Ronin's neck and made to press a soft cheek to his stubbled one. He was very tall, and she felt as though she was floating, the world rushing past her with each long-legged stide of his.

"Much better!" she agreed, staring bright eyed at the dark landscape from this new vantage point.

She felt so light and happy, and somehow the feeling spread from her small body in a pulse of weightlessness. It didn't extend far, but for a moment the girl would feel feather light in his arms, and perhaps that sensation of gravity falling away might extend to her father as well.

It would be nice if it did; Seren wanted to share it with him.

I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to reign, destined to roam
