Chapter 1

10 years ago

"Push Lady Abigail! Your almost there!" A deep but soothing voice demanded, filling the castle walls with echoes.

Crystal Tree was a kingdom where humans, pups, and other animals can roam as free as they wanted to be. Everyone was friendly there, and no one barley had any enemies. The only enemy the who kingdom, including the royal family, had was an evil creature filled with everything opposite the citizens had in Crystal Tree. He had a face of a dog, jet black fur that looked thick, a black lion's tail, silver sharp horns on his head but was absolutely terrifying about him was his eyes, those blood lust violet eyes that stared into your soul and his matching wicked smirk. He wanted to role the kingdom and have it all to himself but thanks to the guardians he was going to have a bit of a challenge.

Speaking of the guardians, they were all waiting outside a large door with the King and his daughter, the princess and future queen of Crystal Tree. The bulldog that was napping by the door was Sir Jameson, the strongest of the group and guardian of the yellow amulet. Next to him was his cockapoo best friend Lady Jewel, the kindess of the guardians and guardian of the pink amulet. Sir Lights, a chocolate labor, the bravest and guradian of the orange amulet, and Sir Christ, a wolf, the smartest and guardian of the green amulet, were watching both their King and leader pace back and forth near the door. Their leader, Lord Mick, guardian of the blue amulet, and was the kings royal dog, was waiting very impatiently behind the door for his wife, her screams and howls made his heart skip a beat in fear.

"Mick relax, she's going to be fine." Sir Christ reminded his friend

"I can't! There's alot of 'what if's' running widly through my head right now. I won't relax until I see her." Lord Mick growled to himself and continued pacing.

"Wait." Lady Jewel said and raised her ear "I hear footsteps!"

All the dogs, the King, and the little princess jumped up and stood with tension as the door cracked open. They saw the queen and the doctor, both looking awfully tired but joy filled their hearts.

"Your going to be a proud father Lord Mick. I bid you all farewell." The doctor said, with a bow, and walked away from the group.

They all turned back to the queen who mentioned them to come in quietly. Lord Mick wasted no time and rushed past everyone else, hurrying to his wife's side. Sitting up tiredly in her bed was the last member of the guardians, Lady Abigail, the Queen's royal dog. She was a beautiful dalmatian and is the nicest, most sweetest, and most caring dog anyone could ever meet. She was the guardian of the red amulet and the wife of Lord Mick. She held two wrapped up bodies in her arms and cradled them gently, looking up and smiling at her friends and husband. The whole group of dogs gasped and awwed when they reached the bed. Lord Mick could feel tears fill up his eyes.

"D-Are they..."

"Yes my love, we have two twin boys." Lady Abigail announced and revealed her children.

One of the puppies was a beautiful white puppy that looked like his mother and the other one like his father, silk brown fur everywhere but his muzzle, belly, and paws which were a tan color. What they had in common was that they both had the same birth mark, a X. One line was blue and the other line was red.

"Aren't they beautiful Mick" Lady Abigail said sweetly

"Yes darling, you did a fine job" Lord Mick said and kissed his wife of the cheek.

"Awwwwww! They are so cute!" Lady Jewel and Sir Jameson said quietly in unison.

"Look them, they look just like you guys. That's so cute dudes." Sir Lights chuckled

"Thanks Light." Lady Abigail giggled and cradled the twins.

The King gasped and whispered "I think they're waking up!"

Everyone tured their attention to the new borns. The puppies opened their eyes and saw their parents. The white puppy had dazzling bright blue eyes like his father. The german shepherd puppy had amber like eyes just like his mother. The german shepherd puppy sneezed making the white puppy giggle. Everyone awwed at the twins, Lord Mick nuzzled the both of them and kissed his wife again.

"I-I promised myself I wouldn't cry." Sir Light sniffed and wiped his watery eyes.

Everyone chuckled at him and turned their attention back to the puppies who were both giggling now.

"They both are most precious, you both must be very happy and proud" The Queen said

"Yes we are your majesty, thank you for everything." Lady Abigail said, not taking her eyes off her boys.

"Well Mick, your a father now. I hope your very proud." The King spoke and rubbed Lord Mick's back

"Thanks, I'll teach them everything I know." Lord Mick said and pawed the german shepherd playfully but gently.

Suddenly, a 5 year old girl giggled quietly from the side of the bed. The girls had blonde hair with a streak of white flowing past her shoulders and stopped at the mid section of her back with a tira that had pink gem on it. The dress had clear white sparkling sleeves and a white top with a red bottom that reached her ankles. Her shoes were sparkling white flats. The two rulers looked at each other and then smiled at their daughter.

"Would you like to hold one little princess?" Lady Abigail asked and the princess nodded

The little princesses picked up one ofof the puppies and cradled him in her arms. The blonde and white streaks haired girl held the cute small white puppy. The puppy looked up at the princess and licked her cheek. The blonde princess giggled and look at her smiling parents.

"I like this one daddy, he's funny. What's his name?" The little princess asked in her cute britsh accent.

"That's a very interesting question sweetie. Mick, Abigail?" The King asked and everyone turned to the new found parents.

Mick looked in the shinning amber eyes of his wife as he gave her a loving gaze. Abigail returned the gaze until the perfect names whispered in her ear making her smile extra wide.

"Well little princess, the one your holding is named Marshall. This one is named Chase." Lady Abigail smiled

Mick widened his eyes and brought his wife into a loving kiss. He lifted his paw and rested it on her cheek. When he pulled away, he smiled.

"Those are perfect names darling." Lord Mick said

Lady Abigail smiled and nuzzled her husband "I love you Micky."

"I love you two Abby."

The princess put the little puppy back in his mother's arms and everyone in the room stared at the new borns and future princes/guardians of the kingdom.

8 months after the pups were born

Lady Abigail and Lord Mick were playing swords with their eight month twins on a sunny day outside. The twins really enjoyed playing the gane with their parents and loved it when they teamed up.

The boys have collars around their necks with their name on the front. Marshall's collar was red, which made the puppy fell in love woth the color while Chase's was blue. It match the puppies very well too. The twins had grown a little as well but couldn't talk until their first birthday, or hoping at least. The dalmatian was now almost covered with black spots for smoke and the German Shepherd had his ears pointed straight upward. The couple decided to take a break and sit down next to the garden as they watch their sons tackle and chase each other.

"They're gonna be pretty closer aren't they?" Lord Mick said as he nuzzled his wife.

"Of course they are, do you see how close they are now?" Lady Abigail said and laid her head on her husband's shoulder.

Suddenly, black dark clouds appeared out of nowhere scaring the Marshall. He yelped and hugged Chase tightly, burying his head in the furry tan chest. Chase held Marshall tightly, alothough he didn't fully understand what his brother was so scared of. They were just clouds and from what his father said, clouds can't hurt you. The married couple ran to their children and protected them, looking at each other as if they knew what this ment.

"Honey, get the kids in the castle and warn the royal family to hide and hide with them. Get the guardians as well and tell them to protect the entrance. I'll deal with him." Lord Mick ordered, his blue eyes glowing along with his blue amulet.

"But darling-" Lady Abigail was interrupted when her husband kissed her deeply.

They moved away from the kiss and Lord Mick wiped the tears off his wife's cheek woth his paw and showed a brave smile.

"Go, our kids and the royal famiky safe." Lord Mick said

Lady Abigail nodded and she and the twins towards the castle. A tear shedded down on Lord's Mick cheek when he saw them run. He hated saying goodbye like this but he knew this was they inly way to keep them safe. A horrible laughter filled the currpted air, and filling the guardian with rage as he swiftly turned around to see his greatest enemy.

"Sir Barford, what do you want?" Lord Mick asked coldly

Sir Barford laughed and said stared at his enemy "You know exactly what I want. Hand over the amulets and the kids now or watch your kingdom will parrish under my paws."

"Never!" Lord Mick shouted and got ready

"Fine." Sir Barford said and a thousand black knights appeared behind him.

"Find them and bring them all to me." Sir Barford ordered and the black knights ran into the castle.

Sir Barford turned back to Lord Mick and they both drew their swords.

"Last chance?"

"I said never!"

"Then it's a fight you get." Sir Barford said before the two male dogs charged towards each other.

Lady Abigail ran in the castle, bumping into her friends on the way. She tokd them to guard the entrance and don't let anyone in. They nodded, running towards the enteance afer saying goodbye. Lady Abigail rounded up the royal family and led them to the safe room where she lock herself and everyone else inside. She was now pacing around, her heart racing against her chest. Her pups hugged each other for comfort but soon fell asleep. The royal family, and the captain of the knights were watching Lady Abigail pace and mutter to herself.

"I have to go out there." Lady Abigail stoped pacing and finally made up her mind.

"Then go Abby, we will be fine" The King said softly

Lady Abigail nodded before she picked up her sons and ran outside, avoiding the battle between the guardians. She gently layed Marshall and Chase on the ground and put a paw above her now glowing amulet. She closed her eyes and hovered her paw above her pups. She reopened her now glowing red eyes, tears leaked down her cheeks. The pups were glowing the same color as her amulet but they were still asleep.

"I'm sorry..." Lady Abigail whispered to the both sleeping puppies before they vanished into thin air somewhere more safe.

She ran from the spot she lost her children and ran towards her friends who were finish battling and were about to join their leader until they saw her.

"Abby! I'm glad your sa-"

"You all need to listen to me right now." Every dog shut their muzzles when they heard Lady Abigail's voice. They never heard her sound so ruthless and serious since their last battle with Sir Barford.

"You all need to leave Crystal Tree kingdom at once. Barford knows about the twins and that you all are still alive. You must had me the amulets and never tell a soul who you are."

"Where are the twins Abby? We last saw them with you." Lady Jewel asked

Lady Abigail felt tears burn her eyes and sniffed "I sent them away, for their safety. And I need you all to leave and go to where I sent them. To Adventure Bay. You must help your future children meet the twins so they can all come back and reunite us all. I know what I am asking is hard for you all but you must obey, please."

The guardians looked at each other. They hated the idea of leaving their home, two memebers of their family behind, but they all knew Lady Abigail was right. They had all saw this coming and knew they would all have to seperate. But in the middle of a battle? Who knows what could happen. Sir Christ walked up to Lady Abigal and nodded.

"We will take our leave. But please, be careful Abby. Your like a big sister to me and...I don't want to lose you." Sir Christ said, his voice cracked with a single tear running down his muzzle.

Lady Abigail sniffed, tears were running fown her eyes as well. She jumped in Sir Christ arms and hugged the wolf tightly. Soon everyone was joining in for a tight group hug. They pulled away shortly, and the guardians handed over their amulets one by one, each whispering a goodbye. They all now stood tall in a line, facing Lady Abigail. Lady Abigail smiled sadly at her friends and waved.

"Goodbye my dear friends, I shall hope we meet again some day. I love you all." was the last thing Lady Abigail said before she activated her amulet and with a wave of her paw, the guardians were gone.

Lady Abigail sat there in silence. Her heart was filled with devestation for her friends and wished they were here but she knew it was for the best. She layed each amulet down and activated her amulet. The amulet was no longer glowimg red and radient but a golden color. Her eyes matched the glow and she chanted a spell.

"Send these amulets far away

To their protectors where they need to stay

Until the last two guardians and their friends

Seek the knowledge and find them again!"

The amulets glowed and they disappeared into thin air just like the twins. Just then, a blood cry scream was heard from not so far away. Lady Abigail ran towards the sound, hoping her heart eas wrong for once. When she made it into the fields, she saw her husband fall limp to the ground in stone. Tears splahed like rain drops on the grass. Her heart was shattered and she kept telling her mind to stop playing tricks with her. But no matter how many times she blinked or told herself to wake up, she just her her stone husband on the ground.

"NOOOOOO!" Lady Abigail screamed before running to Sir Barford.

Sir Barford didn't notice her running to him and laughed at the stiff dog. Lady Abigail's eyes flashed red as her amulet glowed, the color changed into a deep shade of red and her eyes match this color, making her look terrifying. She shot her paw up as she charged for the creature and grabbed the jewel from his neck, slamming it hard to the ground and breaking it in progress.

Sir Barford turned to Lafy Abigail in horror "No! I'm not going back!"

He fell to the ground, and with all the little power he had left he reached his claw outward to Lady Abigail and changed her into stone, matching her husband.

Sir Barford gave one last scream before he was pulled in a bright light gone forever.

In the safe room, the little princess stood above her dead parents crying her eyes out with captian of the knights above her, who was coverimg his face, crying silently.

All the black knights had disappeared and the remaining of the alive knights cheered in their victory. That was a war no one in CrystalTree Castle could forget.
