TATIANA, DREAMING OF FREEDOM – A HELVEN ADVENTURE

Description

TATIANA

DREAMING OF

FREEDOM

I lived in a gilded cage, something I was acutely aware.

A Princess, I had everything I could ever want at my fingertips, except the one thing I really craved, Freedom.

At seventeen, I should have been looking forward to my eighteenth birthday. Instead there was just an arranged marriage to look forward to. An unwanted marriage to whoever my father, the King, chose.

Discussing my options with Sharon, my guard and confidante, I chose to disregard my heritage and attempt to run away. Deciding that a rich commoner was a better option than a poor one, I attempted to empty my bank account.

There I made a mistake and all my plans had to be rushed forward into one day. Making my escape alongside Sharon and my Ladies in Waiting, I took passage on a ship heading south.

Once on the ship I found that I liked the life and made friends with the crew. Unfortunately ship life holds many perils and we were captured by pirates. As days turned into weeks, it became apparent that our ransom would not be paid.

The alternative was to be auctioned to the highest bidder. As the date of the auction approached, we prepared to sell our lives dearly, having no intention of allowing ourselves to be sold.
