Hollow Kingdom

The stage is set and the pieces are in place, now please quite children, it rude to talk during story time. Sit quietly as I tell you tale of two brothers, consumed by greed and feed off the misery of those they control, and how these kings become controlled themselves. Now listen closely as this tale is one of a lesson that should be well learned.

It began long ago in the Kingdom Hollow Creek. A land that constantly lived in the shadows of night with the moonlight as their only light. A land filled with ghost, goblins, witches, warlocks, and monsters of all kinds, once lived in harmony and peace ruled by their kind and loving King and Queen. But a horrible tragedy struck the kingdom as the birth of its new hire came to pass. When the royal couple was told the birth of their child would bring wonders to the land, they were over joyed. However, neighboring kingdoms were filled with jealous and wished misfortune upon the family. Many kingdoms began planning attacks to bring the Kingdome of Hollow Creek down before the birth of their child. In doing so this caused a war to break out upon the land. Never the less, Hollow Creek stay strong and kept its people happy. As multiple war tactics failed for enemy kingdoms, the kingdom's prince was born. However, this did not deter other kingdoms from ending the war. The simply began to take more conniving and sneaky measures of destroying the kingdom. However, not all kingdom were against the King and Queen, in times of doubt and desperation two family stood fast by their side.

A king and queen whom already had two sons, an oldest a new born, gained the respect of the family. Another family with a baby son as well, gave their friendship and loyalty of the Kingdom. As the war progress the three families fought side by side to keep the Hollow kingdom afloat. Even throughout this war the children of the families were able to smile and befriend one another. However, as victory in battle increased rumors of the child began. Premonitions that once spoke of great bringing's and wonders, were now of curses, despair and misery. And such claims weren't helped when the queen suddenly became ill, and the walls that guarded Hollow Creek began to fall. Many of the so called allies they once had turned their back on the family. Rumors of the queen being poisoned were whispered by servants, to terrified to tell their king, as the queen met an sudden and horrible end.

The kingdom was sent into despair at the news of their queen's passing. Stricken with fear and certainty, the monsters of the kingdom turned on their rulers, rallying to the caste to kill the cursed child and King who protected his son. The King stood alone to face his subjects and fought off the mob as best he could before losing his own life. The child_"

"DOUBLE D! WHERE ARE YOU!?" A shout echoed through the air shaking the kingdom. It threw the story teller off balance as well as the children surrounding him. The black horned creature sighed and straightened his black hair and clean black suit. He cleared his throat and looked down at the dizzy children at his feet. Once they all regain their sense of balance they looked up at him. He gave an apologetic smile, "I'm afraid our story must be postponed children. My job has called me," He bowed to the disappointment children. But held up a finger to silence the moans and groans of disappointment. "Come now children, you mustn't cry, here," He lifted his arm and swiftly brought it down, as he did a spear and cane formed tapping the ground.

The kids clapped at the magic trick, the creature chuckled. Tossing the spear up and catching it, he swung it above the kid's heads and candy began to shower them.

They cheered, "Thank you Mr. Vincent," and gathered the candy happily. "You are quite welcome children, I do hope you eat those in modesty and make sure you brush your. Good little ghouls and goblins should always have nice shinny teeth." He smiled. "DOUBLE D!" The ground shook again and he rolled his eyes at the sound. He lifted his free hand from behind his back, bringing a top hat to his head. "Good day children," He bowed and began his stroll to the Castle of the Little King. Upon walking towards the over extravagant home of the king, many of his reluctant subjects smiled and said hello, to Mr. Vincent as he walked by. The young monster always replied with a smile and a nod.

Walking into the gold plated door of the building his was greeted by three guards. He lifted his hate to the men wearing gold and silver armor with large black axes. "Afternoon gentlemen," he smiled and bowed. They replied with the same straight stern face as usual and lead him to the Kings thrown room. Coming upon the room his presence was announced and the King gave the order to let him in. The clack of his cane echoed on the strips of a gold marble trail that lead up to the king.

"Where the heck have you been!? I summoned you half an hour ago. My men spent the last 30 minutes searching for you, you prick!" The short king shouted at the man below him. Mr. Vincent merely nodded at the harsh tone and tipped his hat to the king. "And a lovely evening to you as well Eddy. My apologizes I was taking a little afternoon stroll, I do hope your men weren't searching to long," He replied with a smile. The King of the De Niro Kingdom snapped like a dog, "WALK! You don't walk! You stay huddled up in your creepy cottage and wait for me to call you". Mr. Vincent held up his finger and waved it in warning, "Ah, ah your majesty. Need I remind you that I live outside your lands, neglecting me from your rule or you dear brothers". King Eddy snapped, "Don't speak his name! You ain't worthy".

The magic user bowed, "My, apologizes once again your majesty. But to what do I owe this unexpected summoning? I'm sure it must hold great importance seeing as you know I don't do house calls". "My brother… he's says that the Amazonian sisters of the Junkle have been attacking his kingdom, and he needs my army to deal with it. So give me something to make them stronger than those Kankers," He ordered. Eddy lifted his head with a soft smile, "Oh come now Old friend, I'm sure the strapping young men of your army can handle a few Barbarian women". The king snapped back, "You and I both know, ever since that shovel chin knight of mine betrayed me, my army has been nothing but shit! Now give me a potion or a spell or something to make them stronger!" Double D's face became darker in feature as he looked at the little king, from under his hat. "And if I may ask, what do you plane to do once you gain this power," he asked. "Build my army and take down the Kankers!" He lifted his chin victoriously.

Clearing his throat and removing his hat, the motion caused his black hair to fall around his shoulders and exposed the rigid black horns that stretched to the back of his head and curve up. "You would attack a land of warriors, simply in order to prevent them from pestering your brother's over-sized and barbaric kingdom," He asked with an arched eyebrow. Eddy smirked, "The quicker I get rid of his problem, the percentage on my taxes go down. That mean more cash for me". He returned his hat to his with a frown, "I caution you Eddy, a war is not something to start with your Kingdom in such a state". The growled, "I ain't started a war top hat! This is gonna be as Big Bro would say a pummeling! Now stop beating around the bush magic man, what ya got?" He looked down at Double D with a greedy smile. He shook his head in disappointment, "That depends Little King of Di Niro, what do you have to trade".
