<a class="postlink" href="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae233/XxLeila0502/Favorites/MistressLeanna.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/>Sappho was a princess. Nothing very exciting about her life. She could sew, write script as well as calligraphy, play piano, but the only thing she kept as a secret was she could sing, but dancing was not a strong suit for her. She kept her eyes out for something unusual, but all she heard was the forbidden sounds of music and singing playing in the background. She wandered outside and waited for a bit. Curiosity struck her as she looked out her grandeur window at the male and just stared at him blankly. Sappho started clapping in time to the music, but stopped herself from continuing to do so. She knew what that would do to her if her parents found out.<br/><br/>Sappho's father was not very kind to musicians as he had been years before. She knew what he would do and she wanted to find a way to get him to stop before her father found out. Sappho's father had been a kind and gentle man. One day, however, things changed: There was a celebration and the entire kingdom was invited. The musicians played a song, and Sappho's mother and father danced. Her mother had died dancing to her father's favorite song. He decided to stop the party and closed down the castle for awhile. The musicians, gypsies, and performers were banned from playing or performing at the castle again. Sappho was never really sure why that had become a law of the land, but she decided that it was time to do something about it.<br/><br/>Sappho left the castle and a note stating that she had gone out for a bit to visit one of her friends. She found the male singing and dancing and curtsied to him.
