PROLOGUE
Once upon a time, there was three kingdoms: The white, The gray, and The black. The three kingdoms fought for thousands of years. They knew one of the kingdoms would fall, but they kept having war. Finally, The gray kingdom was slowly crumbling, the king of gray declared: "WE SHALL NOT CONTINUE THIS BATTLE. THE KING AND QUEEN OF GRAY HAVE SPOKEN." This angered the kingdoms of White and Black, but soon accepted it.
"IF YOU SHALL NOT JOIN THIS WAR, THEN SO BE IT." Then, it seemed that the kingdom of white's army were slowly disappearing, ONE BY ONE. Some say It's because of the rather LARGE appetite of the King of Black. It's all rumors... but is the fall of the kingdom of white a rumor? Or is it the truth? WHO KNOWS.
oOo
A KNIGHT with rose-red, waist length, hair was told to be present in the throne room. Her blue eyes looking forward, she was one of the best knights in the kingdom of white. Her footsteps made tapping noises against the marble, checkered floor.
Another knight walked beside her, she seemed to be the shy one... for a rank to be a knight.
"So, the king told you to be at the throne room as well, Aiko?" The knight with rose-red hair asked the other knight. Aiko nodded, which made her blonde hair fall into her face,
"Ye-yes, Rain.."
Rain gave a slight nod of reassurance, then kept walking.
The two knights were near the end of the hall. The glass windows made rays of sunlight bath into the palace, shining down on the double doors.
Before they could open the door, a girl with black hair, blue eyes and who wore a white dress, white leggings, boots, gloves, and a rook crown swung the door open with little effort. Her ebony hair swished and she wore a small grin of her face.
"Come in, you two!"
"Geez, Kelly, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Aiko whispered as the knights stepped into the large room. The white of the room seem to swallow the people inside. But there were some statues of important atlantean people. The most important to the king was the Largest one in the throne room, THE HIGH QUEEN RULER: TRISTANY SINCLAIR. The sad thing about the marble statue was, that beautiful woman died. Every since that day, Fernando seemed to be more... emotionless and dull. In fact, she seemed not here. I know it's strange way to explain it but, it seemed close enough. The white curtains were draped back a bit, letting a bit of light spill onto the checkered tiled floor. The knights approached the king, bent their knees, bowed their heads, and rose their right hands in respect and for declaring their presence. The rook of white closed the heavy doubled doors.
" You requested us, your majesty?" Rain asked as she and Aiko straightened up. The king had a chessboard placed on her lap, her green orbs filled with anger as she scowled at the black pawn that crept closer to one of her white pawns by an invisible force. The king looked up at them with a straight face,
" Yes, I indeed did, Rain..."
Aiko replied, "Anything you request, will be done, your majesty.." She stood up so you could see her chess piece sign, a white horse, on her back.
"I need you to summon the white messengers into the room... they have a quest I need them to accomplish.." The king's eyes seemed unfocused a bit, like if she was worried or frightened. But the look disappeared as soon as it appeared, " Is that clear?" The knights nodded and dipped their heads a bit, and raising their hands. Then left.
The Rook, Kelly, walked and stood near the king, who sat in a comfy throne that was rimmed in gold and the cushions were white clouds.
" Your majesty, are you sure that the prophecy is correct? I'm not doubting the ancient writing but, you're trusting that little fairy tale like it's food." The king was silent, for she had nothing to tell her trust-worthy Rook but then simply said: " It's all I have to believe in..."
oOo
The kingdom of black was, as usual, dark and malicious. The king chuckled softly as she made it to the dungeon, then chuckled louder with every foot step. Until she was cackling, it bounced off the walls, haunting the poor ALIVE prisoners. She couldn't stop, the evil ruler had to cover her mouth just to muffle the laughter.
"You.. will..not.. *pant* get away with this.. King Insan(e) Rodriguez.." a prisoner wheezed. That made her cheshire cat smile wipe off her face, she stormed to the cell. Insan(e) grabbed the collar of the prisoner and pulled his dirty face to hers.
"YOU DOUBT ME? YOU PATHETIC LITTLE RAT? YOU HAVE ONE SHARP TONGUE AND GUTS TO SAY SO, LITTLE MAN!" Then her face on anger was washed away and a smirk of mischievousness crept on her lips.
" What's your name little man?"
"Brunt.. Williams.."
"That sounds like a fine meal.. doesn't it?!" She cackled as the man begged for mercy. Insan(e) whistled for Salexi, the black messenger to b here.
"Y-yes your majesty?"
"Deep fry this pup, he'll taste better that way.. HAHAHAHAHA!" Salexi nodded and dragged the man out on his cell,
"YOU CAN EAT ME, YOU BLOODY DAUGHTER ON A PIG! BUT, YOU WON'T WIN THIS WAR!" The man's crys were heard, until you could hear nothing... then all was heard was a piercing scream that could give you nightmares.
The king smirked and replied,
"Lunch time.."
[A/N] So who was that? ;3 anywho.. HAPPY B-DAY TO ME!
Feliciano: HASTA LA PASTA!
