Welcome to the next installment of broken muchness series and my Madness. I will try and get a few chapters out this weekend but I have a few obligations pending soon that are glaring terrible daggers at me so I will probably need to tend to them soon. So with out further adieu, here is the first of many hopes to come.
Dislclaimer: I own nada
Prologue: A watchful eye
A man watched as The Champion of Underland kissing her consort good morning as they made there way to brunch.
He sat back in his chair; a weighty fatigue seemed to settle on his shoulders as he watched her embracing the man.
"I've seen enough," He said and with a wave of his hand, the image vanished from the looking glass.
"My Lord" He saw a young knight kneel not far from his seat.
"What news?"
"Lord, we have located the whereabouts of the bandit camps but they are on the move." He looked down at his the knight, worry etched his brow.
"Do we have any other ideas where they are headed?"
"They seem to be moving towards the mountains, on the boarder of the forest," the knight said.
"Stayne must be trying to gather his forces to make his stand," He said before he sighed. "So it will soon begin another war unlike anything Underland has ever known."
"Shall we send an envoy for the Queens Red and white?" The knight asked.
"Send one for the Red queen and bring her to our outland stronghold, but be mindful, she is still under the White Queen's curse so give her the missives but do not speak or show any emotion. She will understand," He said. "I shall contact the White queen personally and we shall see where we go from there." The knight bowed but remained. "Is there something else?'
"Lord, if I may, has the Champion returned to Underland," the knight asked. He looked back at the looking glass and sighed.
"Yes and she has become engaged," He said with a wistful look. "She should be more careful about her affections. Stayne's spies are everywhere now and won't hesitate to kill any one she is close to." The knight looked towards the looking glass with a disgusted look. "I trust you know something more?"
"The Hatter, I saw him at court, it must be him," The knight said, "Fright of a sight if I ever saw one but she favors him above all other men." He contemplated before nodding.
"Keep close to her, make sure she is safe," He said before getting up. He walked over to the window; storm clouds were closing in from the outlands. "And don't forget your umbrella, it looks like we shall have some rain before the storm comes."
One more chapter today and until tomorrow:-)
