Waves Against The Rocks

I wrote this story when I was in the 4th grade.  Or maybe the 5th.  Whichever one it is, please pardon how cheesy or weird the story is.  Me right now can't control 4th/5th grade me.  I tweaked it just a bit, so know that this isn't the exact original copy.

Waves Against the Rocks

   Queen Piria tucked the blankets around the twin children, each in a separate bassinet.  The girl was born before the boy.  Piria's sister had married, and had these twins.  The couple had been called away to Anglend, and had left the children to her, knowing she would care for them, as she longed for the children she could never have.  She heard a knock on the nursery door.  Piria smoothed her pale green, ruffled gown, and opened the door.  Piria was surprised to see her sisters closest maid standing in the doorway.  
    "My queen, the priest has sent for you."
That was all she said.  She looked on the verge of tears.  As the pair came upon the priest, Piria asked her,"What makes you on the verge of crying?" 
     The maid answered, "I will never forget it, and she was pregnant! Her body, on a reef bed.  She won't be queen, and you have only little to live."
    "Who died?" asked Piria.  She knew her sister had been with child as she left on the voyage, but it couldn't be...
     Just then, the priest let them in, and sat them down.  "Now Mera," he said to the maid,"You may explain the tragedy that has befallen us."  
    Mera began,"Your highness.  Your sister, her husband are dead.  They found an infant, and it was guessed to be her third child.  She is in here."  Mera showed them the basket with the baby in it.  "Your highness, I am so sorry.  Her last request, according to the survivors, was that her sister name the children."
     Piria left the room.  She went straight to the nursery, basket in hand.  She set it down, and then looked over the second baby and said in the ancient language of their kingdom,"Petita Duca, Petita Duca.  Oust name yis Duke." (In english, this means Little Duke, Little Duke.  Your name is Duke)"Ou sal ben thes na duca." (You shall be the next duke.)
      She went to the first child, and said,"Petita Fluer, Petita Fluer.  Oust name is Delanie." (Little flower, Little flower, your name is Delanie) "Ous sal ben thes na Qina." (You shall be the next queen.)
      Piria finally stopped at the last child, the one born on the trip.  "Petita Petita.  Oust name is Sane Roxa." (Little, Little, Your name is Sane Roxa.) "Foust Sane yis, I greif, Foust Roxa yis, Rosetta." (For Sane is I grief, For Roxa is Rosetta.)  
      Piria called for a crib to be transferred for Sane.  This was only the beginning...............................................................................


So that was Waves Against the Rocks!  There is more that I have written for the story, and if you would like to see that please tell me!   Anyway, I want to do a quote that represents this story..

"Can it be?  Something so cursed and so dangerous be the reason we are alive?  How can it?  The inner eye shows us visions of the past, but here we are, getting visions from the future."

-ShuffleCat, Waves Against the Rocks

I made that one up on the fly.  Anyway I hope you liked the story!  BYE!!!
