Prologue
The heat was really starting to get to him, but he refused to allow it to control him. No, he had to finish his training for the day.
His breathing was becoming heavy, but still, he pushed on. Veena was no doubt training hard, and he couldn't let her down by laying around doing nothing.
"I'm actually being to worry about him, Duncan. He's been like this for a month." Shaking his head, King Randor frowned.
Man-at-Arms almost chuckled at his king. "There was a time you wanted him to focus on his training."
The king sighed. "I know, but this seems almost too much."
Man-at-Arms nodded. "He doesn't want to let Veena down when she returns."
"When is she returning? Because the sooner the better."
"I don't know, unfortunately." Duncan frowned.
King Randor's shoulder lowered. "Have you tried to stop him?"
Duncan nodded. "Teela, too. He refuses to stop."
"You did mention that he could hurt himself if he keeps doing this."
Duncan shook his head. "He won't listen."
"Well, I need to think of something."
"I hope it works." Duncan looked at his friend and monarch.
Adam lowered his sword as his father and Man-at-Arms walked away from the railing of the balcony overlooking the training yard. He knew they were worried. He hadn't been himself since Veena had left.
Oh, he knew people were beginning to worry about him or were wondering why the change. He had promised Veena he wouldn't slack off while she was gone. Besides he needed to be ready when she would need him to go after one of her brothers.
Prince Adam, you need to come to Castle Greyskull as soon as you can. I have received word from King Jareth.
Adam glanced around him. It seemed his wait was finally over.
And so begins the second book of the series.
Review if you please.
