Solunia Knights Chapter 2 Ameron
Eyes shooting open, clear emerald eyes met pale pink curtains. Images and words swirled through her head as she recalled what happened for the last five hundred million years. There was nothing she didn't know now. And just as quickly as the information sank in, panic arose.
She bolted upright, her blonde hair swirling around her. Her feet touched the floor as she grabbed the silver dragon key and yanked open the door behind the grandfather clock. As fast as she could she ran down the stairs, grabbing the sides of her pink dress as her matching heels echoed around her.
Breathing heavily, she pulled out the rainbow unicorn key and slowly opened the door to the caverns. Taking a left, she walked into Maltion's prison. Just outside the door she stopped. She wanted to believe it wasn't true, but deep down in her heart she knew it was- after all she was evidence of it.
The red phoenix key shook with her hand as she unlocked and opened the door. She stepped into the dark, musty room and gazed into the empty cell. A large puddle of black steaming water lay in the middle and the bars from the door were still bright red and melted from where it lay on the ground.
"No! It can't be!" Her shaky clear voice rang in the silence. "It's time." She squared her shoulders and turned around, straight back into the caverns locking the doors behind her.
As she stalked into the middle tunnel, the torches lining the walls lit up with magic. She unlocked the door with the green snake key and hurried along quickly to the last door. The white snowflake key opened the door and swung close quietly.
"Rise, powers of the young. Show me who our new saviors are. Go and bring them to me!" She chanted as fourteen crystals rose in the air from their respective spots around the room. A glowing portal appeared in the air and the crystals flowed through.
A large dark oak table rose from the ground, with fifteen seats around it. On each of the backs of the chair, the respective symbol for each knight glowed. At the head of the table the last chair stood tall and proud while the unicorn responded to her masters powers.
As she left the caverns, her mind raced with thoughts of who the new Knights will be. But all thoughts excited her mind as she gently pushed the bell near her room, signaling that an important announcement will be made and it rang throughout the kingdom.
Footsteps could be heard as her subjects rushed to the area beneath her balcony. Her silver tiara gleamed faintly as she waited for complete silence. And once she got it, she walked slowly outside. She knew her shoes were echoing and as she pushed through the curtains, a glare of light came rushing to her causing her to pause. But she kept walking and walking until she could see her startled subjects. They all cheered but quieted when realization sunk in.
"Solunians. The time has come. Yes I have awakened but that means Maltion escaped. The crystals at this very moment are picking their rightful owners on a planet like ours: Earth. I need every single one of you to prepare. To train to fight in the war we cannot prevent. Beware of what you see and if you see anything suspicious, call for a knight or a guard immediately. That is all. The Knights shall be here in a moments time. And when they do, we are really in for danger." Princess Dajana said before stalking back into her room, the pink curtains swishing behind her.
She only stopped to slip on her necklace with the unicorn pendant. Then, Princess Dajana walked out of her room, ignoring everyone who stopped and asked her questions.
