~Princess Glory on a mission!~

After she had showered and dressed and eaten and was ready for the day, she knew she had quite an adventure ahead of her, a very exciting one indeed! She had thought about it and planned it out and covered all the right steps and details to be sure it would all be perfect and go just right! So she was happy to finally be able to take that long beautiful stroll along the shoreline to the place where she knew she would need to stand to catch the right waves of the Ocean with the wind moving the water in the right direction, so that her desired outcome would take place!

So without a moment to waste, she moved to the final glory of that days’ mission and walked over to her wonderful desk, made for the likes of Royalty as charming and as perfect as her. Her parents knew when she was but a young girl of her interest and passion for books and writing, so they discussed and planned for the perfect gift, the perfect craftsmanship and timing for it to be given to her along with everything such a young gifted girl would need!

And it has been the same glorious desk she has used for many a year, and it has never let her down or disappointed her, it has not yet failed her, or aged or fallen apart! She has cared for it and loved it the way she in turn has been blessed by it for every word she’s ever written when sitting at it and working on her glorious writings!

Now once there at her desk, she picked up the beautiful ancient collectors scroll paper that had her writing on it, and she admired her wonderful work (one more time), written with her favourite feather pen and how all her years of practice have finally paid off. It was Perfect, it looked so fine, and she knew and believed in her heart of hearts that it would, that indeed it must produce the right results on the heart of her true prince when he should finally come upon it. A time she hopes would not be too far off in time! She made sure the date in the corner was right and all the ink was perfectly dry and then carefully rolled it up just tight enough for it to fit into where it would be going from there!

She then looked around unable to see what she was needing next, until her eyes finally found it and locked in on it, but there on the other side of the paper was the perfectly cut length of beautiful delicate light pastel pink string, she picked it up with joy and squealed just so with glee as she moved on to the next challenge of how to get it just right around the rolled up letter she had penned! It took a few tries and a couple of moments, but she finally got it just right with the bow so her prince charming could easily see all the love and care she put in to tying it just so for him and how easily he could just pull one side of the string so perfectly and the whole thing would fall delicately to wherever his hand commanded it, which she hoped would be into his hand to be cherished forever with the letter he would also hold dear forever after reading every word!

Once the tied up letter was ready to go the princess grabbed for the wonderful long necked clear glass bottle with the most beautiful shiny pink glass plug for the tip and carefully removed the plug and opened the bottle. She then proceeded to that most important one moment of time that shall hold all the answers to the wonderful ending of her future glory, and she carefully slipped that rolled scrolled perfectly tied letter into the long neck of that bottle and kept pushing it in until it went down the neck far enough that she could then just shake the bottle with just the right amount of force for the letter to finish falling into the bottom of the wonderful unused clear glass bottle. Afterwards she quickly put the pink glass plug back in its place and checked it twice to make sure it was in securely and leak proof and would be sure to survive its adventures ahead out at sea until it reaches the man it was meant to be found by!

And as she grabbed the bottle and walked out of her room toward the glorious day ahead of her and her journey along the seashore with a proud beaming smile of joy across her face she wondered indeed, just wondered, how her dear prince was going to retrieve the message in the bottle without breaking the glorious bottle it was in? She did chuckle at this, for if he would be anything like the romantic man in heart and mind inside of her, he would be a fool for this type of love and obviously see the beauty in the bottle itself, and wishing to reunite the bottle and the message in it with the fair maiden who sent it to him by way of the sea!

If she were right about him then she understood that it would be a glorious time of bonding in story sharing about what he was faced with when dealing with the dilemma of the circumstance once he received and retrieved the bottle that was meant just for him? She was very happy and excited with anticipation about hearing this story from him along with many, many, others of all his years of life lived without her and in search of her to come, once this first one that finally brings them together is told!

With that the princess walked down to the sandy beach and once standing in the warm elements of the soothing heat of the grains, she removed her shoes and wiggled her toes and feet in it for a minute. Then she turned in the direction which she knew she needed to go and began walking bear foot in the sand; with her sandals swinging in the fingers of one hand and the glass bottle held securely and moving to and fro ever so romantically in the other down the side of the seashore line until she disappeared into the sunset out of site away from her Family Castle retreat by the Sea!

To Be Continued....

After a period of joyful walking the Princess arrived at just the very spot she had in mind, reserved for this very day and time as planned by her days before whilst completing all the writing that goes with her mission, which of course includes the letter now sealed in the glass bottle she held firmly in her hand!

She moved the bottle up towards her in front of her face in front of the glorious view of the sea, and she could see through the bottle into the beauty of the Ocean wonder, that takes people to many other places that she has yet to see! But of course upon the celebration her finally being married it will be one of her many goals in marital bliss as Queen after she's married to her blissful prince who becomes her King! Oh my what a great and glorious time of travel out at sea those coming days will be!

She then moves the bottle away from her view, and looks out at the direction she knows she needs to throw it towards, she licks her finger on her other hand and sticks out at the wind and its direction and strength and studies the waves and their timing in connection to the wind! She then moves herself to the exact right point where she determines her throw will give her the utmost advantage and success. And like a Pitcher on his mound working on getting that perfect strike from the player that is before him she begins to wind the arm up that the bottle is in and just when she has determined her arm is fast enough she swings her body to the side and turns her outside foot in just the right way with perfect momentum and releases that beautiful bottle out into those waves, sending off her wonderful message to the man it is meant for!

She looks with a great sigh of satisfaction on where it landed as it was picked up by the waves and wind and began its journey in a lucky first sway and push out further into the sea in the right direction, and knew that she could trust her friends, the waters, wind, sea life, and sun and birds above to sprinkle their love and share their magic and glory upon her message in a bottle now in their care to see to its safe journey out to its final destination and receiver on the other end! Wherever her fair prince is if they can find him and deliver the bottle to him she was confident that they would!

It was such a wonderful day, she stayed in that spot for a time, resting in the sun and snacking on the provisions she brought for herself knowing she was not going to waste such a day and trip out to where she now was only to return home quickly. She enjoyed every minute of watching the glass bottle until it did what she sent it out there to do, disappeared into the waters, out of her view, beginning its glorious journey holding the key to the Fantastical ending of the story this Pretty Princess was determined and focused on making sure would come true!
