Prolog

In the galaxy there lays a very beautiful moon kingdom called Verenia, where a king named Novaul and his queen Abella rule. They are both protectors of the galaxy. But ever since the queen found out she was expecting they can't fulfill their duties to the fullest so an ancient evil has been taking advantage of this time to plan something evil.

Chapter 1: A Warning Sign

"My lord there is talk about Hex returning." The royal guard said.

"What?! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" The king yelled, furious.

"How is this possible?" The queen asked, scared.

"It is heard that he's been working with unknown evil forces."

"Evil forces?" the king questioned.

"Yes my lord," the guard replied.

"Do we know who?" asked the queen.

"It is said, three witches."

"Names!" yelled the king.

"The Ancestral witches." The guard replied.

"What? Why are they out of prison?" The king thundered.

"Hex must have released them, my lord."

"What could they possibly be after?" the queen asked shaken.

"I haven't heard that much, my lady, sorry." the guard said.

"No need to be sorry Jericho, you have done well," the queen said.

"Thank you my lady," the guard, Jericho said with a bow.

"Jericho you and the other guards are on full alert, for any suspicious activity." The king said.

"Yes my lord, may I be excused now?"

"You may be excused." the king said nodding.

"Thank you." Jericho then ran off towards the front door and outside to the court yard to tell the other guards of the king's plan. "My fellow guards, the king has ordered that we be on full alert for Hex," Jericho said.

"Hex?" another guard asked surprised.

"Yes, I've heard that he's been working with the Ancestral Witches."

"But how?" another guard asked.

'"Hex." Jericho said simply.

"What is he after," one of the guards asked.

"Nobody knows," Jericho replied.

"Well then let's get in formation and keep watch." another guard said.

Meanwhile in the castle the king and queen are decorating the baby's room.

"Oh Novaul, I can't wait for our little bundle to be here," Abella sighed.

"Neither can I Abella my dear, we will have a happy day of celebration." Novaul replied proudly.

"You think so?" Abella questioned.

"Think? I know we will." He smiled and kissed her hand. "Shall we get back to decorating?"

"Yes my dear." Abella replied. The began to decorate again, and not long after this the maid came in.

"My lord and lady, dinner is ready." the maid said.

"Thanks very much Venus," Abella said.

"We will be down shortly." Novaul said.

"Your welcome my lady, and see you down stairs soon," Venus replied, with a smile and a bow. She walked off, and Abella and Novaul put down their things and laced their hands together and walked down to the dining room. There they found Jericho waiting next to Abella's chair.

"Here my lady, I have pulled out your chair for you," Jericho said.

"Thank you Jericho," Abella replied, sitting down.

"I have done the same for you as well, my lord."

"Why thank you." Novaul said. "Why don't you take your seat now Jericho."

"Thank you my lord." Jericho said, taking his seat.

Everyone is seated now, so the cook walked in with some delicious steak hams, baked potatoes, cheesy vegetables and a couple of side dishes along with the drinks.

"Looks very delicious Badrani, you did an excellent job," Novaul said.

"Why thank you my lord." Badrani said.

"Feel free to take a seat and eat as well," Abella offered.

"Oh I couldn't right now, I need to clean the kitchen." Badrani said touched by the offer. "But after I finish I shall join."

"Sounds good to me," Novaul said.

"Thank you, and enjoy your dinner." Badrani said exiting back to the kitchen.

"We shall," Abella and Novaul replied, as he walked away.

Everybody fixed their plates and grabbed everything they wanted, and began to eat. Not too long after Novaul decided to interrupt.

"So Jericho, have you heard or seen any activity from Hex and the witches yet?"

"No I haven't," Jericho replied.

"Well that's definitely good to hear, you may continue eating now, thank you."

"You're welcome my lord." Jericho answered.

As they all began to eat once more, Badrani the cook returned from cleaning the kitchen, and made a plate.

"Nice to see you again Badrani," Abella said with a smile.

"You too my lady," Badrani said returning the smile. "I told you I'd be back as soon as I finished cleaning."

"Yes you did," Abella said with a small laugh. "Now eat up." And soon after everyone finished eating.

"My lord and lady, would either of you like some dessert?" Badrani asked.

"Hmm...Abella dear, would you like some?" Novaul asked.

"It does sound good, but I think I'll pass," she replied. "I'll get myself some later if I feel like it." She smiled. "How about you dear, would you like dessert?"

"I think I'm good," Novaul replied patting his stomach. "I'll just get some more water."

"I can get it for you my lord." Badrani said beginning to stand, but Novaul waved him off.

"It's fine Badrani, I can get it,"

"If you insist," Badrani replied sitting back down. Novaul then got up and walked into the kitchen.

"Oh my lady Abella, where is Mitzuki?" Badrani asked.

"I have no idea," Abella replied. "Probably in the garden, I'll go look." she added. "When Novaul returns, tell him I went to look for her,"

"I will," Badrani promised.

"Thank you," Abella said. She got up and began to walk down the hall. Not long after this, Novaul came back.

"Oh, where did Abella go Badrani?" Novaul asked.

"She went to go look for Mitzuki," Badrani replied.

"Ah, ok. I'll just head into the living room and wait for her to come in," Novaul said.

"You do that my lord, and I'll clean up in here." Badrani said.

"Ok, feel free to join me after you finish," Novaul offered.

"No thank you, I have to head home to the wife and kid after I finish." Badrani replied.

"Ok, would you like your pay now or later?" Novaul asked.

Badrani contemplated this for a second. "Save it for later, all I ask right now is if I can bring home the leftovers,"

"Of course," Novaul replied.

"Thank you my lord," Badrani said bowing.

"No problem," Novaul said. "Have a nice night Badrani,"

"You too my lord," Badrani said, beginning to clean up, as Novaul walked towards the living room. He put all the dishes in the dishwasher, and packed up the leftovers, then wiped everything down. "I'll see you later my lord," he said as he walked out the castle doors.

"Good bye Badrani," Novaul replied.

Meanwhile Abella was still looking for her daughter Mitzuki, and stepped into the garden.

"Mitzuki where are you my love?" She called as she walked. "Mitzuki...Mitzuki?"

"I'm over here mother, by the fountain."

"Mitzuki you missed dinner," Abella reprimanded. "And you know it's dangerous to be out here alone,"

"Yes mother," Mitzuki said. "And I'm sorry, but you know how much I love the gardens."

"Yes my dear, but not buts, you need a guard with you, or at least tell your father and I where you'll be at." Abella said sternly. "You had me so worried."

"Yes mother, I'm sorry," Mitzuki said giving her mother a hug, careful of her baby bump.

"Apology accepted," Abella replied stroking her hair. "Now come inside, it's getting late,"

"Yes mother," Mitzuki said, as they walked in together.
