Once in a castle far from the border of minecraftia, there was a king and a queen; the king was young but had eyes that held wisdom from years of ruling over the kingdom, his head was topped by short brown hair that hid under his crown and he wore a tunic made of fine purple material and a flame sewn onto the sleeve in gold.
The queen wore a dress made of a similar material but in a light blue, the dresses was faded from years of use; her auburn hair was tied back into a long plait that fell across her left shoulder.
the queen had been kept in a room for the past week because she was pregnant and the mage had said she would give birth in a weeks times; the king had made sure she was kept safe.
"Elliot I think the babies coming." said the Queen has she laid on the bed and began pushing.
"SOMEONE GET THE MAGE!" shouted the King and a servant ran towards a hut in the middle of the kingdom.
:::::::
"MAGE MAGE!" shouted the servant running into the hut; inside an old man sat hunched over a desk looking into a basket, "The Queen she's giving birth."
"Shh." said the Mage turning towards the servant, "I finally got him to stop making so much noise." The servant looked in the basket to see a baby boy with brown hair sleeping in the basket, the baby held a small tuft of witch hazel in his hand.
"Sorry, the queen is giving birth." said the servant and the Mage nodded his head and picked up a hand full of daisies and walked towards the castle.
"What is your name?" said the Servant looking at the child in the basket; the servant had always wanted a child but she was infertile; then she noticed a chain around the baby's neck made with gold and had an ender eye incrusted in it, on the back read the name 'Rythian'.
"Rythian, you know I've always liked that name." said The Servant smiling, she picked up the basket and began walking towards her home near the castle.
:::::::::
In the castle the queen was lying on the bed in the corner of the room, the bottom of her dress had been torn off to make something to clean the baby once it had been born and the Mage was sitting near the queen.
"Just push." said the Mage as the Queen groaned and continued to push and after a few hours she had given birth to a baby girl with bright red hair like her mother.
"She's beautiful," said the Queen holding her daughter, "what shall we call her?"
"You decide." said the king sitting next to the queen.
"Zoey it is then." said the Queen smiling not noticing the Mage get up and leave.
:::::::
Years later Zoey had grown into a young child, she was fairly tall with hair that fell past her shoulders; She had made friends with a servant boy named Rythian who was the only other kid that was her age.
"HI RYTHIAN!" said Zoey as Rythian walked past with a arm full of sheets that his mother had washed and hung to dry.
"Hi Zoey," said Rythian as Tee; Rythians dog; came running up the garden path and Knocked Rythian over. "Hey." Rythian stood up and picked up the sheets that had fallen on the ground.
"Rythian, Mum said you can keep me company tonight while they are away at a ball." said Zoey running over and helped Rythian carry the sheets to another servent who would use them to make the beds in the servants quarter.
"I've never been in the castle." said Rythian.
"That doesn't matter I'll show you around." said Zoey grabbing Rythians hand and running inside the castle.
:::::::
That night Rythian and Zoey were in the castle playing in the hallways watching as servants passed by.
"I'm so bored." said Zoey flopping over and doing a somersault on the floor.
"Well can I show you something?" asked Rythian and Zoey nodded her head, Rythian took a breath and disappeared from view and appeared down the hallway.
"Wow, THAT'S SO COOL!" said Zoey, "Show me how to do it!"
"No." said Rythian walking down the hall way.
"Why not?" asked Zoey pouting.
"Because." said Rythian crossing his arms.
"I'm your princess now tell me!" shouted Zoey grabbing Rythian on the sleeve.
"I CAN'T!" shouted Rythian and Zoey disappeared in an instant,"Oh no." Rythian through the castle searching for Zoey but she was no where to be seen.
He stopped after a while and began to think, closing his eyes he saw Zoey huddle under a tree shivering from the cold winter winds, Rythian recognised the tree and ran to the willow in the middle of town and saw Zoey huddled under neath it.
"Zoey I'm so sorry." said Rythian grasping Zoeys hand and helping her up and giving her his coat, Zoey smiled and they walked back to the palace unaware that an old man in a cloak watching them.
:::::::
the next day Rythian and his mother sitting having lunch when The Mage came in holding a book.
"I'm here to see the boy," said The Mage before Rythian's mother had a chance to speak, Rythian nodded his head and walked outside with the mage. "You young boy have a special gift, first Mage I've seen with it in years."
"What?" asked Rythian confused by what The Mage. "What gift?"
"Ender magic, I saw the princess appear and you running towards her." said The Mage.
"But that was an accident." said Rythian scared that he was going to be punished.
"I understand that, but you to learn to control it, I can teach you that but you'll need to be isolated so you won't hurt anyone till you've controlled it," said The Mage and Rythian nodded his head. "I'll give you till tommorow to say your goodbyes and pack." and with that The Mage left and Rythian walked back inside and told his mother everything.
:::::::::
The next morning Rythian walked out of the house, a satchel with clothes in it hung on his shoulder and standing next to him was The Mage.
"Are you ready?" asked The Mage and Rythian nodded his head and The Mage transported them into the castle; they appeared in front of a large door. "This will be your home till you're ready." Rythian nodded his head and pushed the door open to see a room with only a desk and bed.
"Thank you." said Rythian walking into the room.
"I'll visit you everyday but that is your only contact, I'm sorry." said The Mage shutting the door and leaving Rythian in silence hearing Zoey running down the hall laughing and stopped outside the door.
"Hello anyone in there?" asked Zoey knocking on the door and laughing.
"Go away." said Rythian turning his back towards the door.
"Rythian?" asked Zoey "What are you doing in there?"
"None of your business." said Rythian turning his back towards the door.
"Okay." said Zoey running down the hall.
::::::::
Weeks later Zoey went to see if Rythian would come out of the room, it had snowed the night before and she wanted to build a snowman with him.
"Rythian," said Zoey "Do you want to build a snowman? Come on let's go and play, I never see you anymore come out the door it's like you've gone away," Zoey peeked through the key hole and saw Rythian sitting on his bed. "You used to be so friendly and now you're not, I wish you would tell me why?" Rythian got up and opened the door, "Do you want to build a snowman, it doesn't have to be a snowman."
"Go away Zoey." said Rythian slamming the door in Zoey's face.
"Okay bye." said Zoey walking off and rubbing her face.
::::::
More weeks past and Zoey decided to try again.
"Do you want to build a snowman? or atleast just come outside, I think some company is over due I've started talking to the mushrooms printed on the walls," sang Zoey hopeful and looked at one, "Hang in there Bobby," Zoey laughed then sighed and started walking away, "It gets a little lonely, in these empty rooms watching the hours tick by."
::::::
twelve years had gone by and Zoey had just stopped trying to get Rythian out of the room; Zoey had grown into a young woman and looked like her mother in a way, she was the only one that tried to care for Rythians mother while Rythian was locked in the room.
"Morning Sarah," said Zoey walking into the house and saw Rythians mother lying on the floor. "Sarah?!" Zoey got down and felt Sarah's pulse and couldn't find one. "No I'm sorry." Zoey ran into the castle leaving Sarah on the floor.
::::::
Weeks had gone bye and Zoey knew Rythian needed someone to talk to she couldn't let her friend grieve by himself and walked to the door.
"Please I know you're in there," said Zoey leaning against the door and whispered in the key hole, "People have been asking where you've been, they say have courage and I want to help; I'm right out here for you Just let me in," realising that Rythian wasn't going to open the door, "We only have each other, it's just you and me; what are we going to do?" Zoey finally peered through the key hole and said the only thing that she could think of. "Do you want to build a snowman?"
Well that was interesting... this is kind of a prologue type thing so it's really quick
