Chapter II
"So where are we? Somewhere that's not Earth." Ted whined for the millionth time today. Three weeks had passed since we had fallen into the pit. We had searched and searched but we couldn't find any sign of life. We had been living on the occasional fruit and grass we found. That Kayo Castle wasn't anywhere.
"I don't know about you guys, but this candy is really good!" Tono said as he was shoveling speckled leaves down his mouth.
"Tono that is poison ivy." Lizzy mentioned.
"Grr, my tongue itches! Help!" Tono hollered exuberantly. He started shredding his tongue with a stick trying to get his tongue to stop itching.
It wasn't that long after Tono and his tongue stopped itching that we found a small house Squirt crouched behind my leg as I knocked on the door. My heart was thundering so hard I thought it might pop out of my chest. Footsteps were heard coming from inside. We waited in a tense position. Squirt's nails kept getting deeper and deeper into my skin. The pressure was nerve-racking. Finally the door creaked open. A kindly looking old woman looked out. At least that's what my original thought was. However, after a closer look it appeared that she was an older fairy. She had wings with a green tint and a gray lining. I was staring at her with complete and utter disbelief. I didn't think that fairies even existed. She broke the silence.
"I am Dewdrop Willowing. Who are you, may I ask." She questioned civilly.
I stammered for a bit then reclaimed my voice, "I am Kyle," I pointed to the others, "This is Ted, Tono, Lizzy, and Squirt."
She stared at us for a while then hustled into her house. We waited for her to come back. About ten minutes passed till she returned.
"Well aren't you coming?" she questioned. My feet were frozen to the spot. Nothing was going to make me move except for Squirt just walking in.
"Squirt, get back here!" I whispered. Squirt followed her right in to the house.
"Take a seat." She said pointing toward the chairs position equally around a small circular table.
"Help yourself to the cookies while I tell you the sad tale of this world." I quickly pulled the cookies over and started munching on them.
"This world didn't always look like this. There was a time before the kingdom, before the masqueraders, and before me when the world had so many colors that it shown with radiance. My mother always told me that if the Great War hadn't have occurred none of this would have happened. I don't believe her. Evil always finds a way to get its hands into anything and everything."
I stared at her blankly. I had no idea what the Great War was. Judging by the faces of everyone else neither did they.
"What's the Great War?" Lizzy asked.
"The Great War was and still is the changing point of Xhar. From the sea came the Enigmayics. They had the heads of beetles yet the brains of the wise ones themselves."
"Would you mind explaining the whole wise one thing" Tono condescended.
"They are dragons of ancient lore. However, back to history. Soon the Enigmayics had aligned themselves in the perfect place to start the war. When the first arrow was fired no one had known where it came from. The king sent countless troops out to investigate. According to my mother only one returned. He was battered and cut but he delivered a heart-pounding message."
"Enigmayics are here. They have captured an entire city. Their main attack is planned for a week away. Consult the w-."
"His sentence was cut short by an arrow flying through the stained glass window. With a shattering of glass the arrow tumbled to the floor while the shattered glass pierced the remaining troop right through the heart. Now the only hope of winning this war was dead on a heaping pile of free flowing blood."
"We would have lost the war had it not been for the four Masqueraders. Squirrel Lord, Winged Dog, Elementalist, and Horn blower were their names. Each one had a strong sense of righteousness. Every one was extremely skilled in their craft. Squirrel Lord was in complete harmony with nature. Winged Dog was a powerful girl infused with the soul of a flying wolf. Elementalist had complete control over time and space. Horn blower had the ability of mind control, when he blew his horn anything he wanted was under his control."
"How do you know so much about them?" I asked.
"Well, my daughter is said to be the destroyer of the worlds. I concern myself with these things," she started, "When she was born I had a very wise visitor visit me. The Wise One told me that I was to give birth to the destroyer of worlds. The Masqueraders were said to be killed by the Destroyer. They had figured that she would be born to me by careful study of the stars. One thousand years ago was when the war was. It is said that the Masqueraders will rise again. It has to be soon for I can tell that my daughter has returned to this world."
"What do you mean return. Hasn't she been here?"
"No, I sent her away when I heard the prophecy that was to happen. I ran to River of Death and sent her down in a casket with a blanket embroidered with her name. Right as she was about to hit the first cataract a raven swooped in and carried her away. I think that was the start of the prophecy."
Lizzy's was looked perplexed and then her face lit up with a brilliant idea.
"What is your daughter's name?" she asked.
"Alice." Dewdrop said lovingly.
___________________________________
Alice was sitting at the castle window overlooking the gray world. She saw so much pain and agony. So much any other person would've gone insane. Not her. For her this was a wonderful view. Torture was just one of the things she enjoyed watching. It turned out that there was a species of human-like creatures. It made no difference to her. She conquered them any ways.
After three weeks of grueling training from her unknown tutor she could finally harness the powers bestowed upon her. She was the all-powerful Alice. She would conquer the world, just like she conquered the unessential Ring-Shaun.
Remembering her triumph over the Ring-Shaun gave her delight every time. First she had emerged out of the fog and started talking about how she was their new leader. Anyone who opposed her was going to be destroyed maliciously. The tribe leader stepped forward to expel the killer of their happiness. The fight was soon on. Alice whipped out her knife and lunged at the leader. It grabbed her knife and twisted it out of her hand with a snap. The pain she felt was enormous. It lurched over her prepared to kill her with her own knife when suddenly a current of energy yanked the knife back into her hand. The Ring-Shaun leader cowered before her. It sensed what it had to do to save its life. It had to resort to cheap tactics. It stood up to its full height spread its wings and leapt into the air beginning its long flight up then its fleeting flight down. Alice was thrilled, how fun it would be to kill the creature mid-flight. An idea crept into her thoughts. All she had to do was threaten one of the Ring-Shaun to fly her up to the tribe leader. Needless to say the Ring-Shaun obliged to accommodate Alice for fear of more death. She soared far above the clouds. When she came upon the leader he was preparing for his rapid descent onto her.
"DIE!" she yelled. They both were relentless with their attacks. Alice had the upper hand. Its weakness was blatant. The tribe leader's wings were the only things keeping it up from falling. With two well-placed blows it was falling to its doom. Alice ordered her slave to take her down. When she landed the leader was already squashed.
"I think I made my point." From then on the Ring-Shaun followed her every order. Currently they were building a monument to all things dark and cruel. This would be their only job for the rest of eternity.
She left the window and went over to her spell books. She thumbed around until she found the ingredients for a Cyclops.
"I've got to get rid of those other people so I can rule Xhar." She thought. "You, the one who gave me these items, what is your name?" she demanded.
The voice stepped out of the shadows. He was a tall skinny man with pale skin and snow-white hair.
"My name is Lorge Gastric," he said.
"Well, Lorge, get me a large cauldron, large ghoul egg, and a large eyeball!" she commanded.
"Yes, Alice." Lorge left the room and walked down the hall towards the storeroom where all the ingredients were kept. He went in and collected the ingredients. While he was grabbing the ingredients he thought about ditching Alice, but remembered who she truly was and the power she possessed and for one reason or another he wouldn't disobey her. He returned to Alice and handed her the ingredients for her monster of terror.
"Here are your ingredients oh evil one!" Lorge praised hoping that that would make her forget how long it took him to retrieve the ingredients.
"Perfect, now I crack the ghoul in the ghoul's egg into the cauldron and drop the eyeball in. Now let's see calf's blood, dragon muscle, and a rhiboar's heart. Mix it together. Now, it's time for the spell. From mountain top and ocean bottom hear these words and feel the power of a giant's magic hour!" Alice finished the spell. Suddenly a mighty tremor came over the castle. The cauldron started to bubble, and then an arm shot out of the cauldron, then another arm. Sluggishly the Cyclops emerged from the cauldron. Its body was giant, with one eye in the center of its head.
"Now Cyclops, DESTROY!!!!!!!!!" Alice bellowed as it trundled down the road to defeat 'the others'.
