Chapter 1: Snow-Weird, Part One
As soon as she woke the next morning Beryl, Queen of the Dark Kingdom and its inhabitants, knew that something was terribly wrong. She opened her eyes just to see that she was not in her own room, more so: she wasn´t even in her own Kingdom! Looking out of the window, she could see green meadows and a forest. Nature didn´t exist in her kingdom, beside a few mushrooms and cursed plants that bring death to those who dare to touch them. Mad with anger, she wanted to teleport herself back home, and afterwards find out who was responsible for this. It did not work though; she tried another time and another: her magic did not work anymore! Upon that realization, a loud scream escaped her throat: it was a scream that could have woken up the dead (or bring a huge headache to someone who drank too much liquor the previous night, yet this is another story).
"Great Metalia, what is it with this noise so early in the morning!" said a voice. The displaced Queen jerked up from her personal nightmare. The voice had come up from behind a curtain. Slowly she stalked up and pulled it aside- just to look right into Jadeites face. "YOU!" She screeched. "Are you responsible for this?"
"My Queen, how should I? Until a few seconds ago I was fast asleep." He tried to step forward, but failed. Mainly because his lower half was not existing anymore: the fourth king was locked inside a mirror. The queen saw that. She didn´t really care: Jadeite had never been useful. But what could she do to get away from here? There was a slight possibility that the true delinquent was also in this world, she had to find him. Maybe the person could fix this. And if not, there´d still be a nice execution. Meanwhile, Jadeite had conjured up a hammer to break the glass and free himself. He failed.
"You can use your magic?" the queen asked.
"Apparently only inside of this mirror, I fear." Came the sober answer.
A vicious smile formed on Queen Beryl´s face as her mind developed a plan. She chanted: "Jadeite, Jadeite behind the glass, tell me, please, who caused this mess?"
Jadeite, a little shocked by the queens chanting, was even more shocked when his vision began to blur and he saw a book lying on the stone ground of the Dark Kingdom. The picture faded, reconstructed and showed another book, an older one this time: a book on black magic.
"My queen, I have no idea who did it, but I think we were locked up inside a book. Somebody used strong black magic-"
"Shut up, I know whom it was. There is only one spell that could be used, and it requires a powerful dark wizard. In the whole Dark Kingdom, there is only one man who could have managed this spell: Kunzite, this snow white haired traitor!"
Man, that was short. I´ll try to update again tomorrow, or on Thursday.
Please review, I really could use some critique. Thanks!
Love, Morgane
