Snap. Snap. Snap. Shit! Out of space again.
I grumble for a moment as I look through my camera bag, bleary eyed from the early morning wake. Wish I didn't have to be up to get just the right damn lighting for this picture, but whatever. We don't have a lot to do these next few days, save for meet some pretty boy from the South. Mestran royalty or some such.
I find an empty card and smile triumphantly, before quickly switching the cards out. Now then. Breathe in. Hold, and snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. Sn- Battery too low!? What in Muze's name is this about!? Ugh, I told them not to mess with my stuff. Of course they don't listen to me. Now I'm going to lose the damn light and there's not supposed to be another misty morning like this for a long while. We leave in two days too! I can't just- ugh. Great.
"I'm kicking their asses later," I mutter, glaring at one of the guards near a tree. I slide the camera back into my bag and scowl, pulling out my smart phone. Not as nice, but at least I'll have something to work with. I take a few pictures with it, doing my best to make up for some lost time. After a few minutes and a series of photos of the house and seaside from different angles, I lower my phone and sigh. Pictures aren't too bad, but they aren't my greatest work... oh well.
I begin to make my way to the steps leading back into the house, stopping just before them. I turn and sit on them, taking a moment to stare out into the sea. The sun is beginning to climb its way into the Heavens above, bringing its warmth to its children below. Or, that's how the story goes at least. I must readily admit, I'm not much of a follower of the old ways. It's rather ironic I know; even more ironic is that my sister isn't much of a spiritual person either and she's the Empress. Then again, we've both a bit of a history of shattering stuffy traditions. The fact that I'm even allowed to engage in photography as an art form or a business is proof of such.
Or the fact I'm not married yet. Yeah, that one especially is really becoming a sore point; even my sister is prodding at it. I get I'm supposed to marry a member of some form of nobility, but if I'm to spend the rest of my life with someone, I need to enjoy their company. I need to be able fly free like the Heiwana dragon. I want to see the world with my eyes and show people how I see it, good and bad.
Still, I've a duty and I can't forsake it anymore. I need to be able to compromise, but so do they.
"Your Majesty, it would be best for you to get some rest." I lazily drift back to reality and turn my attention towards the guard that approached me. She gives me a stern look and I sigh.
"Yes yes," I reply, waving my hand at her. "I know, the Mestran royal family is paying a visit today and I need to look presentable. I'll go get some rest." I stand slowly and trudge up the stairs to the Imperial Summer Home. Slowly, I take one last look at the sunrise before entering the home to review the photos I acquired thus far. It'll just be a few minutes of that and then I'll sleep.
