Chapter 1
"Lord, lord wake up!" shouted the young maid as she struggled to wake her young liege from his slumber. "What is it?" said Donald rising. The young maid bounded away with a shriek. "Milord" she replied gasping "You must flee quickly. Carnosona is attacking!"
"What?" exclaimed Donald Galeotin heir to the throne "Impossible Carnosona has no hostilities with us."
"I'm afraid it's true" said Susan Princess of Galeotin walking in. "I'll explain later, but now you have to come with me to Gary."
His sister was wearing her traditional brown jerkin that matched her brown eyes and hair. She was an okay sister he had always thought. His father had often described he as a wild child when she wasn't around.
Gary von Monmart was the elderly bodyguard assigned to Donald and Susan at a young age. Over the years he had proven himself as someone who could be counted on.
His sister and maid left the room while he dressed and donned his saber. He decided to wear his dark green doublet and hose for speed and agility. Unlike his sister he had blond hair and blue eyes like his father. He wondered if he would have the chance to prove himself. He entered the hallway to find his sister there and the maid gone.
"Hurry Donnie, we have to get out of here quickly and find Gary." She said as they rushed down the corridor.
They came to an intersection with two connecting hallways. Right to the sounds of fighting or left to the servants complex. Donald thought back fondly on the "secret" passages he had used to leave the castle on many occasions. He knew now that they were just supply passages and gates but still… As Susan led him down the left corridor he felt that this was probably leading down to one. They soon emerged from the passageway into a darkened street.
"Gary said he would meet us here at the intersection of Glitter Street and Tanner Boulevard." said Susan as they stood out on the street.
"Now please explain" asked Donald "Why is Carnosona attacking? And what about father?"
"All your questions and more shall be answered and more." said Gary as he slipped out of the shadows. He had on his grey clothes and short-spear straped onto his back. Donald noticed that his hair looked greyer than usaul and his green eyes had a strained look in them.
"When?" requested Donald.
"When we reach Safehaven" answered Gary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safehaven! The under city of Gale, Donald remembered as his thoughts raced along with his feet. In the past Donald's father King Brandon the Third had made half-hearted attempts to stamp out its existence but never quite succeed. Was it possible that he had left it in anticipation of an event like this? Who knows?
They hurried down a lantern-lit street and came upon a warehouse named "Oliver's Shoe Emporium". Gary knocked on a small service door. A small man with a shock of white hair and a brown stained apron answered.
"It's offtly late for a pair of shoes doncha think? Oh it's you." He said starring closely at Gary. "I expect you'll be wantin passage to Safehaven then?"
"Yes we would Master Oliver" Replied Gary. "Boy" Oliver bellowed into the shop "Come here!" An adolescent red haired boy trudged on over. "yes sir?" he mumbled. "Boy, take care of the young sir and lady" ordered Oliver. "yes sir" he mumbled again.
"Don't be worried now" Oliver said as if the boy wasn't even there "He'll help well enough if you ask." Donald's first impression of Oliver's shop was the home of a pack-rat. There were stacks of shoes and leather strips everywhere you'd look.
"this way, milord and lady" the boy mumbled carving off a new path through the shoes. "What's down that way?" Susan asked the boy, pointing to where Oliver and Gary had gone. "the masters quarters milady" replied the boy in the usual way. "Oh, then where are we going?" asked Susan. "to the guest rooms" said "Boy".
As Susan peppered the boy with questions Donald began to wonder why the shoemaker had recognized Gary so quickly. Things were defiantly starting to seem a little odd he decided. Susan was first guided to a room fallowed by Donald. "the master will come and wake you when you are needed" said "Boy" walking off. Donald looked about his sparsely decorated room and lay down to rest.

My name is Maurice! Thought the boy as he snuck out of the warehouse. I'll show the pompous old man to call me boy and order me around, he thought. He started running towards the Castle.
