An Unexpected Adventure Chapter 1

The moon hung high in the inky black midnight sky observing the kingdom below. Down in a fertile and mountainous land laid the wealthy kingdom of Evanoplolis. This kingdom was happily ruled over by Soul Evans the youngest of the Evan brothers. It was a bit untraditional but last year during the Great Storm Prince Wes came down gravely ill. The king had died that year from the illness and the queen died from a broken heart and since no one expected Wes to survive the sickness they decided to put Prince Soul in charge. To everyone's surprise Wes pulled through but it was too late the parliament had already decided to crown Soul the next king and to Wes's utter dismay he became just a duke. Wes was furious that Soul had taken the throne from him and he swore to get his revenge one way or another.

So it was on this midsummer night's eve that a cloaked figure rode on a black stead into the forest to meet up with the one person who could help him. The rider stopped his horse in the clearing of the forest where a cauldron bubbled above a fire and another shadily cloaked figure sat on a fallen log behind it.

"I thought you were never going to show up." The person behind the cauldron purred malevolently.

"I apologize for my tardiness Lady Medusa." The cloaked rider said icily as he dismounted from his stead.

"It is alright Prince Wes you are here now as I am here upon your request. What is it that you wish from me?" Lady Medusa asked in a playfully sinister tone.

"I need some sort of spell or potion to get revenge on Soul for stealing my kingdom from me. It should be ME that should have been crowned king!" Wes snapped angrily.

"I see well I do have an idea of how to get rid of your brother." Medusa hissed out in delight.

"You do, how?" asked Wes happily.

Lady Medusa got up from the log and began throwing some ingredients into the cauldron bubbling in front of them before mumbling some words to a spell causing the once purple liquid to turn clear before taking out an empty vile and pouring the substance in.

"Put this potion into any drink or soup that Soul may digest..." Medusa began and was rudely cut off by Wes.

"But what if he can taste it?" Wes asked worriedly.

"Pipe down and let me finish! It is odorless and tasteless and once he consumes it your problems will be over." Medusa snapped maliciously at Wes.

"Excellent!" Wes chuckled in delight as he pulled a pouch of gold coins from under his cloak and gave it to Medusa who exchanged it for the pouch of coins.

"I should warn you though…."Medusa began but immediately stopped when she noticed he was no longer paying attention. He'll just have figure out the side effect on his own if he won't pay attention to me. Medusa thought to herself evilly as she watched Wes happily mount his horse.

"Thank you Lady Medusa it was a pleasure doing business with you." Wes said happily as he turned his horse and galloped back towards HIS castle.

"As with you my Prince." Medusa said cackling to herself Revenge is sweet Medusa thought to herself before vanishing in a cloud of smoke.

Wes galloped towards the castle feeling as light as air for soon he would have his kingdom and all of his problems will have been solved. Upon entering the castle Wes found his brother in the royal study looking out of the window at the stars a cup of tea steaming beside him.

"Good evening your majesty." Wes said trying not to gag on the word majesty as Soul turned to look at him.

"Good evening Wes." Soul said with a small smile.

"You alright Soul you seem distracted." Wes said feigning worry.

"Yeah I'm just thinking." Soul replied reassuringly.

"Okay well I just wanted to say goodnight before turning in." Wes said the lie rolling off his tongue easily.

"Alright goodnight Wes I'll see you in the morning." Soul replied as he turned back to the window. Once Soul was distracted Wes quickly slipped the potion into Soul's tea before leaving the room thinking Yes but I won't be seeing you in the morning. Good bye you royal pain in my butt!

Soul sat his crimson eyes staring at the moon lost in thought. The black witches were on the move again and he could feel a battle stirring between his kingdom the white mages and the black witches. For it was last year that one of his soldiers killed a black witch who had been oppressing a village and trying to take over a neighboring kingdom. The witch they killed turned out to be Lady Arachnid sister to the leader of the coven of the dark arts Lady Medusa and since then there was unrest between them. On top of that issue his advisers urged that he needed to choose a bride before one would be chosen for him. Soul had gone on a lot of "dates" since then trying to find the right girl for him but all of the ones he'd met so far were too airheaded and vain. With a deep internal sigh Soul turned back to his tea and drank it before leaving the study and going off to his room.

As Soul began to take off his boots he suddenly felt very light headed, sweat began to roll down his forehead, breathing became difficult and his heart felt like a stallion racing away from a predator. What's happening to me?! Soul thought to himself worriedly as his body began to ach all over. A pounding began to drum itself inside his skull and just when Soul thought he would scream out from pain everything went black as he lost consciousness and fell back onto his bed.
