This one's titled "Azul," and it goes hand-in-hand with the song that's also titled "Azul" by Jesse Cook.
Hope you enjoy:
This
was the immaculate view she had always seen since birth: the deep blue tide of
the rolling waves, the gentle swaying of the perfectly trimmed tropical trees,
and the sparkling of the jewels on her dark skin blanketed by orange and golden
sunlight.
She
was all too familiar with the scents of the perfumes sprayed delicately around
the palace and the gardens, the quiet solitude of the workers scattered around
the palace grounds, and the occasional high-pitched laughter of her sisters and
the well-respected guests of her family’s home.
There
she sat in her cabana, looking out into the horizon of the ocean in the heat of
the sun, as she did every day in her luxurious life. Staring into the deep
waves, she once again contemplated the adventures waiting for her past the
horizon in the vast water. The new soil was sure to be void of all the riches
she had known, but she could no longer wait to finally desert this place and
discover herself.
Knowing
that the maids were likely to find her thoughts if recorded on paper, she had carefully
planned her escape into the world detached from everything she knew in her
mind. She had turned her thoughts over and over in her head for years by this
point. Without moving any part of her slim body except her dark eyes, she
surveyed her surroundings while bolstering herself to execute her detailed strategy.
The
escape into the unknown was upon her.
