A/N: Happy Halloween! I hope that everyone enjoys this chapter as much as the last. Diving deeper into the story has been exciting. I think I know where the story is going, but new scenes come to me that are awesome, which changes things up a bit. Thank you once again for your support.

"I should think it's pretty clear as to why I'm here," Jason said as he moved closer to her with his horse trailing behind him.
"You should've stayed back at the castle," Kimberly said as she tucked her knife away in her boot.
"Did you really think that knife would protect you?" he asked as he tied his horse up.
"Of course, especially since you didn't know I had it," she replied. "How did you know I was gone?"
"Kimberly, I know you wanted to find your parents' killers. It's wasn't hard to figure out that you'd bolt after their funeral," he explained.
Footsteps echoed through the night.
"Who else did you bring with you?" she asked as she glanced around the woods surrounding them.
"No one," he answered as he drew his sword and moved closer to Kimberly.
"You shouldn't have followed me," she whispered as she jerked her knife out once more.
"You shouldn't have left," he growled.
They moved closer to the sound as two people rode into the clearing.
"Trini?" Jason asked as pulled his sword back.
"Trini, what are you doing here?" Kimberly asked as she once again tucked her knife back in the top of her boot.
"You know Trini?" Jason asked as he put away his sword.
"Of course, I know Trini," Kimberly said. "She's been teaching me to use daggers in close combat."
"She's been what?" Jason asked in shock.
"Teaching me to use daggers," Kimberly finished. "Don't worry."
"Trini, did you follow me?" Jason asked.
Kimberly could tell that Jason was trying to process everything. He would ask her later about the dagger training.
"Yeah, I wanted to know what was going on," Trini replied. "It wasn't like you to leave the castle especially after the King and Queen's funerals."
The soldiers slept in their quarter below the Great Hall unless they were married then they stayed at their own homes. Jason was unmarried, which meant he stayed at the castle.
"I told her it was a bad idea," Zack stated as he climbed off his horse.
"I was careful," Jason said. "I didn't leave any tracks."
"None that you thought you did," Trini stated as she climbed off her horse.
"Trini's the best tracker in the kingdom," Kimberly said as she untied her blanket from behind her saddle.
"And who are you?" Jason asked pointing at Zack.
"I'm Zack, one of Trini's friends," Zack said as he loosened his saddle and tied up his horse to the tree next to Jason and Kimberly's horses.
"How do you know Trini was the best tracker?" Jason asked as he looked at Kimberly.
"I told you we were friends," Kimberly stated as she helped Trini tied up her horse. "We have gone hunting together."
"When have you ever gone hunting?" Jason asked.
She felt a little bad for Jason because he was learning she wasn't the Princess he thought she was. She wasn't the damsel in distress from all those fairy tales she was told at bedtime years ago.
"Jason, there are things you don't know about me," Kimberly said as she walked back over to her saddle on the ground. "There are some things that are private."
"I'm in the Palace Guard and it is my job to protect the crown, which is you. I need to know everything about you to keep you safe," Jason stated as he took the saddle off his horse.
Kimberly huffed as she sat down. "You don't need to know everything," she mumbled.
"Guys, as much fun as it is to watch you two fight, is anyone going to build a fire?" Zack asked.
"No one is staying with me," Kimberly stated. "You three need to go back to the castle. It's not safe for you to be out here."
"It's not safe for us?" Jason asked as he spun around to face Kimberly.
"No it's not," Kimberly said as she leaned back against her saddle.
Jason tossed his saddle to the side as he stalked towards Kimberly. "You do realize you are the ruler of Angel Grove? If it is not safe for the three of us, then you need to be back in the castle as well."
"You don't understand," Kimberly mumbled as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"I don't understand?" Jason questioned as he started to pace. "If you don't get up and saddle your horse, I will throw you over my shoulder and take you back to the castle right now."
"You won't touch me," Kimberly stated with a smirk. "I'm not going back to the castle until my journey is over."
"Your journey is over now," Jason stated as he moved toward Kimberly.
"Actually, Kimberly's journey is just beginning," a voice said as a man rode into the clearing.
"Tommy?" Kimberly asked as she stood up.
She hadn't heard him ride up because of her fight with Jason. She needed to stop fighting with Jason or they might all end of dead. Shaking her head, she watched as Tommy dismounted his horse.
"Tommy? Who?" Jason asked as he turned to see who the man was.
"I'm Sir Thomas of Reefside," Tommy said as he bowed. "I am to escort Princess Kimberly to Phadoes."
"What?" Trini asked as she moved closer to Kimberly.
"I told you it existed," Zack said as he elbowed Trini.
"Wait," Kimberly said as she pushed past Trini and Jason. "How did you know where I was going?"
"Your parents were killed, of course, you are going to Phadoes," Tommy replied as if it was common knowledge.
"Phadoes doesn't exist on any map. It is a fairy tale land used in children's bedtime stories. How do you plan to escort Princess Kimberly to a place that doesn't exist?" Jason asked as he moved closer to Kimberly. He didn't know who this man was, but he would protect Kimberly. He saw Trini and Zack moved closer to Kimberly as well.
"I know the way," Tommy said.
"Jason, Trini, Zack, stand down," Kimberly ordered as she pushed them to the side once again. "Tommy is a friend."
"If he's a friend, why haven't I seen him before?" Jason asked without looking away from Tommy.
"Because you don't know everything about me," Kimberly replied as she shoved Jason's shoulder. "Tommy won't hurt me. His grandmother would have his head if he hurt the Princess of Angel Grove."
"Great grandmother," Tommy said correcting her.
"Dulcea is your great grandmother?" Kimberly asked in shock as she looked back at him.
"Yeah, she's aged well," Tommy said with a shrug.
"She hasn't aged at all," Kimberly argued.
"Stop," Jason said throwing his hands up. "Who is this Dulcea?"
"Tommy's great grandmother," Kimberly replied. "Pay attention."
"I'm confused," Zack stated.
"Me too," Trini admitted as she put her sword away.
"There's nothing to be confused about," Kimberly said motioning with her hands. "Tommy is a friend and is escorting me to Phadoes."
"So he can ride with you, but we can't?" Jason asked motioning to the three of them.
"Of course," Kimberly answered.
"No, we go or you don't go," Jason said as he turned to face Kimberly.
"Jason, you can't go to Phadoes," Kimberly said. "You're not welcome there."
"Do you really think you can get rid of me?" Jason asked with his arms across his chest.
Kimberly glanced as Jason, Zack, and Trini and sighed. She looked to Tommy and saw his nod.
"Fine, you three can come," Kimberly said as she put her hands on her hips. "You must not mention the journey there. You also cannot trust what your eyes see once we get there."
"What?" Jason asked.
"Phadoes is not like anywhere you've been," Tommy explained. "As long as you stick with us, you'll be fine."
Jason shook his head.
"Jason, if Kimberly trusts Tommy, then he's okay," Trini said as she placed her hand on his arm. "I don't think he means any harm to the Princess."
"I agree with Trini," Zack said as he stepped back from Trini. "And there are three of us."
"Fine," Jason muttered. "But if you step out of line, I'll use my sword on you."
Tommy held up his hands. "I won't step out of line, but I doubt you'll be able to take me even with your sword."
Kimberly laughed as she sat back down.
"You laugh?" Jason asked looking at Kimberly.
"Of course, I actually know how both of you fight," Kimberly said as she leaned against her saddle. "The fight would most likely be a draw."
"Since everything is settled for the night, I say we get some shut eye," Trini said as she unsaddled her horse.
"I'm with Trini, but we still need a fire," Zack said as he unsaddled his horse.
"We can't have a fire, Zack," Kimberly said. "It would draw too much attention."
"Kimberly's right, we can't have a fire," Jason said as he moved his saddle next to Kimberly.
Tommy unsaddled his horse and moved to the other side of Kimberly.
"I think we should take shifts tonight," Trini said. "I can take first watch."
"No, get some sleep," Jason stated. "I'll take first watch."
"Fine, I can take second or whatever," Trini said as she set her saddle beside Jason.
"I'll take second watch," Tommy announced as he sat down and spread out his blanket.
"Trini, you can have third watch," Jason said. "Zack, you okay with the last one?"
"Yeah, I'll be up by then anyway. I don't need much sleep," Zack said as he settled down beside Trini.
"What about me?" Kimberly asked as she looked at Jason.
"After the last few weeks, I think you should get some rest," Jason replied. "You can start taking watch tomorrow night."
"Whatever," Kimberly muttered as she spread her blanket out. "Wake me when you think it's time for me to get up."
Jason shook his head as he watched Kimberly rolled towards Tommy.

"The Princess is not in the castle," Scorpina stated as he walked into the throne room.
"What?" Zedd yelled as he jumped up. "Where is she?"
"I don't know, but she has left the castle," Scorpina replied. "My sources tell me that she is gone in search of Phadoes."
"The legendary land?" Goldar asked. "It doesn't exist."
"Really?" Scorpina asked as she cocked her head to the side. "You might want to check on that again."
"The princess would not leave the castle. She is protected there," Goldar stated.
"I want to know if she has left the castle and where she went," Zedd commanded as he swung his staff around.
"Who do you want to find out?" Scorpina asked as she faced their king.
"Goldar can find out," Zedd replied, pointing his staff at Goldar. "I have something I need you to do for me."
"What?" Scorpina asked.
"Find Rito for me," Zedd answered as he placed his staff back on the floor.
"What?" Goldar asked. "You hate that idiot."
"He has his father's maps," Zedd replied. "I want to see if this Phadoes is on those maps."
"Why would Phadoes be on those maps? Vile wasn't even from this area," Goldar stated as he crossed his arms.
"Vile was a raider. He took items from his victims, including those maps. They lead to places unknown," Zedd explained as he twirled his staff. "I want those maps."
"And Rito?" Goldar asked as he glanced at Scorpina.
"Bring him as well," Zedd replied. "If he is anything like his father, he won't give them up anyway."
"What if he asks about his sister?" Scorpina asked.
"Tell him she caught fever and died," Zedd answered as he turned away from Goldar and Scorpina.
"Yes, master," Scorpina said as she bowed and left the throne room.
"She is trouble, sire," Goldar stated as soon as Scorpina left the room.
"She will not disobey me," Zedd stated without looking at Goldar. "Now find out if Kimberly has left the castle or not. I need to know where the Princess is."
"Yes, sire," Goldar said as he bowed and left the throne room.
Zedd walked out to the balcony and looked towards Angel Grove.
"Dear Princess, have you left the safety of your castle? If so, I will find you and take Angel Grove, like my ancestors should have all those generations ago."

"Connor, where is the Princess?" Sky asked as he walked into the Great Hall.
"I'm not sure," Connor replied as he stood up from the table.
"What?" Sky asked. "You're on her personal detail. It is your job to know where she is."
"I haven't seen her since her parents' funeral. She wanted to be alone in her bedchamber," Connor explained.
"She's not to be left alone. Her parents' killer is still out there," Sky stated before leaving the Hall.
Connor rushed after the Captain of the guard as they walked through the twists and turns that was the castle. Once they reached the Princess' chambers, Sky opened the doors.
"She's not here," Sky said as he looked around the room.
"What?" Connor asked. "She must be; I haven't seen her exit."
"We need to find her before the kingdom finds out she's gone," Sky said as he stalked out of the room.
Connor looked around. He knew that Kimberly wouldn't just leave. There had to be a reason. He walked over to her desk and saw the note. It wasn't addressed to him, but to the Earl and Countess Scott. Stuffing the letter in his pocket, he left the princess' bedchamber.
Once he delivered the note to Earl Scott, he planned to go after Kimberly. He knew where she was heading and he didn't want her to be alone. This was the adventure he'd been looking for.

Kira looked around before quickly mounting her horse. She grabbed the reins before squeezing her heels. She was a couple of hours behind her brother, but she should be able to catch up to him by tomorrow afternoon. He might've wanted her to stay with momma, but she wasn't missing this adventure. Something had happened and she wanted to help. Tommy couldn't stop her this time.

Tommy opened his eyes. Kimberly, Trini, and Zack were fast asleep. Jason was leaning against a tree near the edge of the clearing. Standing up, he walked over to Jason. They needed to talk and he didn't want to wake the others.
"It's not your shift yet," Jason muttered.
"I know, but we need to talk," Tommy said as he leaned on the tree next to Jason.
"About what?" Jason asked. "About how Kimberly knows you so well, but I've never heard of you."
"I do not mean her any harm," Tommy said as he glanced back at the sleeping Princess.
"Tommy, my gut is telling me that you're hiding something," Jason said. "Something that Kimberly doesn't even know about you, which makes you dangerous."
"I'm not a danger to Kimberly," Tommy said as he looked back at Jason.
"You can tell me that all day long, but I won't believe you," Jason stated as he shifted against the tree. "I find it hard to believe that you are to escort her to this fantasy land."
"Phadoes exists, whether you want to believe it or not," Tommy said. "It is protected by magic from the Mystic Warrior."
"One thing you should know about me, I don't believe in fairy tales," Jason said. "You say this Phadoes is protected by magic, the only magic I've seen is dark magic from King Zedd."
"There is light magic as well," Tommy stated. "I've seen it."
"Well I haven't," Jason muttered. "If there was light magic in the world, it would've saved Kimberly's parents."
"What makes you say that?"
"Because they took her parents to this wizard named Zordon, he couldn't save them," Jason explained. "So don't tell me there is light magic in the world."
"Dark has to have light to balance. If Zordon couldn't save them, then it was their destiny to die," Tommy said.
"Sounds convenient to me," Jason mumbled. "You do know that they found her parents alive. They'd been beaten and starved, but they were alive."
"The body can only take so much," Tommy whispered.
The images of Kimberly's parents before their death haunted his mind. They didn't die easy.
"Exactly, so no amount of light magic can do anything if it existed," Jason stated. "If you're okay with taking watch, I'm getting some shut eye. I'm sure Kimberly will want to be on the road early."
"I'm up," Tommy said.
Jason nodded before walking back to the others.
Tommy sighed as he looked up at the night sky through the trees. Jason didn't believe, and there was nothing he could say to make Jason believe. It wasn't his job to make Jason believe. He would leave that up to Dulcea.
Shaking his head, he focused on his task of protecting Kimberly. There was only one person to gain from their deaths, Zedd. The King of the Lunar Kingdom wanted Angel Grove and Kimberly under his control. Zedd thought Kimberly was weak about would turn over her kingdom.
He was wrong.
Kimberly knew what her duty was to Angel Grove. Pierre had made sure that his daughter was ready to rule, no matter the age. It was his duty to make sure she made it to Phadoes safety and then made it back to her throne in Angel Grove. The journey wouldn't easy, especially with Jason questioning his every word. Trini and Zack didn't worry them because they seemed to agree with Kimberly.
Shifting he looked over at Kimberly. The princess was stubborn, but that trait would save her life and her kingdom. She wouldn't back down when Zedd came for her. It was his job to help her in her quest.
He looked from Kimberly to Jason. He wondered what the man would think when it was revealed what his destiny was. Would Jason believe in fairy tales then?

Kimberly smiled as she adjusted her mask. The Great Hall was full of people who were all wearing masks. It was a celebration of All Hallow's Eve. They wanted to ward off the evil spirits for the next year. It was a tradition that the castle was opened to everyone. The ale flowed freely to help ease the year's past heartache.
"Kimberly, have you mingled among the people?" Carolina asked.
"Mother, I just came down stairs," Kimberly replied. "I will mingle."
"Be sure that you talk to all the eligible men," Carolina said.
"How am I to know who they are? They are wearing masks," Kimberly pointed out to her mother.
"You will know, it shouldn't be that hard to see the men through their masks," Carolina said before she moved away from her daughter.
Kimberly sighed as she moved through the crowd. It was hard to know anyone in this crowd.
"May I have this dance, Princess?" a man to her left with his hand held out to her.
"How did you know who I was?" Kimberly asked as she placed her hand in his.
"If anyone doesn't recognize you, my dear, they are blind," the man replied with a laugh.
"Well then who are?" Kimberly asked as he pulled her into his arms.
"Can't you guess?" he asked.
She shook her head as he pulled her even closer to his body. He was taller than she was. Most people were taller than she was, but this time his height made her nervous. His breath blew hot against her temple. This man made her uncomfortable.
"Are you sure you don't know who I am?" the man hissed close to her ear.
"I believe this is my dance," another voice stated behind her.
She knew that voice. It was Jason.
"I don't think so," the man who was holding her argued. "The princess is enjoying our dance."
"One song is plenty," Jason stated as he stretched his hand to Kimberly.
"No, I don't think it is," the man said as he spun them away from Jason. "Now, listen Princess, you will agree to marry me by the end of the night."
"I don't even know who you are," Kimberly said as she pushed him back.
His grip on her didn't allow much space between them.
She finally looked up at him and saw a skull. The man had drawn on his mask instead of wearing fabric like everyone else. He'd also painted his face a menacing red that made her a little scared.
"Have you figured it out yet?" the man asked as he pushed back his mask.
"King Zedd, what are you doing here?" Kimberly asked as she once again pushed against him.
This man was twice her age and married. Why did he want to marry her?
"I'm attending the party," he said as he reached for her hands. "Stop pushing against me."
"Stop," Kimberly yelled. "I need to return to my parents."
"No, you will come with me now," Zedd laughed as he pulled her along behind him.
"No, I won't," Kimberly protested as she struggled against his hold.
She twisted and turned before finally pulling out of his grasp. Turning, she took off running back to the safety of the Palace Guard.
Two hands landed on his shoulders as she started screaming.
"Kimberly, wake up!"
"Uh?" Kimberly moaned as she opened her eyes.
Jason and Tommy were kneeling over her. The hands on her shoulders were not Zedd's but Tommy's.
"Are you okay?" Tommy asked.
"Yes," Kimberly whispered.
"What were you dreaming about?" Jason asked.
"Nothing," Kimberly replied.
"You screamed out and was moving around. You kicked me," Jason said. "What was the dream about?"
"Nothing, leave it alone," Kimberly demanded as she closed her eyes.
"Take deep breaths," Tommy instructed slowly.
She opened her eyes and saw that Tommy was still kneeling over her with his hands on her shoulders.
"You can stop leaning over me," Kimberly said.
"I guess the nightmares are back," Tommy remarked as he removed his hands and leaned back.
"Nightmares?" Jason asked.
"No, it's different," Kimberly said as she looked away. "Now go back to sleep and stop worrying about me."
"Of course, Princess," Tommy said as he stood up.
"I heard that," Kimberly whispered.
She heard Tommy's chuckled and vowed to get him back tomorrow.
"You know nightmares are less scary when you talk about them," Jason stated.
"I don't want to discuss it," Kimberly said as she shifted to get comfortable. "Everything is fine."
"Sure it is," Jason whispered.
Kimberly sighed as she shut her eyes. The vision of Zedd's mask wouldn't fade. It was as if it was his true form or something. It was crazy. She needed more sleep. She hadn't gotten much while her parents had been gone. It was the only explanation for the nightmare. Her body decided to take her fears and play them out in her sleep.

Billy leaned behind a tree as he waited for whoever was coming to pass him. He didn't need any trouble from the Putty Patrol. Breathing slowly, he watched as three horses come into view. The riders were hidden by the branches, but he strained to hear their voices.
It was odd for three people to be riding this deep in the woods. The Putty Patrol always traveled in groups of twenty or more.
He shifted in the tree and broke one of the branches. It wasn't one supporting his weight. It fell to the ground and alerted the three that he was in the tree. Cursing softly, he moved around the tree as the three stopped. He could tell they were searching the tree for anything to let them know why the branch had fallen.
"We know you're up there, come down," one voice ordered.
"We don't mean you any trouble," another voice called.
Shifting again, he broke another branch. This one was holding his weight. He braced for the impact with the ground. Once he hit the soft dirt, he took a moment to gather himself. Jumping up, he finally got a good look at the three.
"Billy?"
"Rocky? Aisha? Adam?" Billy asked as he looked at his friends. "What are you three doing so far away from Stone Canyon?"
"We've been summoned like you have," Adam replied as he rested his hands on the pommel of his saddle.
"How did you know I've been summoned?" Billy asked as he dusted himself off.
"You would've never left your wife and daughter unless Dulcea summoned you," Aisha answered as she rested her hands on the horn of her saddle.
"Very true," Billy said.
"Where is your horse?" Rocky asked looking around.
"I've got him down by the creek. I heard you three and thought it might be Putty Patrol," Billy replied. "I can't afford to be found."
"Why would the Putty Patrol be in this area? This is part of the Kingdom of Angel Grove," Adam stated.
"I take it you haven't heard about the attacks," Billy stated as the three of them dismounted.
"What attacks?" Aisha asked.
"The Putty Patrol have been attacking the outlining villages of Angel Grove. They are being led by Goldar," Billy said. "The attacks have increased over the last month."
"We heard that the King and Queen were murdered," Rocky said. "Is it true?"
"I don't know," Billy replied as he shook his head. "I hadn't that before I left. The village may now know."
The four of them walked down to the creek to fetch Billy's horse and to let the other three get a drink.
"I don't think Dulcea would summon us over some villages being attacked. I know it's terrible, but nothing to bring us together," Adam remarked.
"No, Dulcea wouldn't summon us for that," Billy stated. "Have any of you heard anything about Princess Kimberly?"
"No," Aisha answered. "There wasn't any word on her."
"I wonder if Dulcea summoned her?" Rocky asked as he led his horse out of the creek.
"Surely not, she is Queen now," Adam stated. "Kimberly will not be able to get away from her duties now."
"I think Kimberly may surprise us," Billy said as he grabbed the reins of his horse.
"How is your wife, Billy?" Rocky asked as he mounted his horse.
"Katherine's good, I hated to leave her after the village was attacked," Billy replied. "Our daughter, Mia, was hurt, but I know Dana can help Mia."
"Katherine must be a very understanding woman to let you leave during a time like this," Aisha remarked. "Of course, I'm sure she knows the reason."
"She does," Billy said. "Katherine is stronger than anyone gives her credit for. She defeated our home while I tried to help the older people in the village."
"She was like a momma bear," Aisha stated as she mounted her horse and grabbed the reins.
"Well maybe a bit gentler than a momma bear," Billy said with a smile.
"Aisha is our momma bear," Rocky stated as he moved his horse next to his wife's horse.
"You know me and Billy can leave you two alone to enjoy your honeymoon," Adam suggested as he mounted his horse. "I know you two didn't get to enjoy your wedding ceremony."
"We'll celebrate when we get back home," Rocky stated as he grabbed Aisha's hand. "Our duty to Dulcea comes first."
"Yes, it does," Aisha said. "Besides, I'll rather celebrate when there is peace."
"Peace is never guarantee," Billy said. "It's best to find the moments between the chaos and build a life together."
"Is that you and Katherine are doing?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, except there's been more chaos," Billy replied. "We better get going; it's not safe for us to stay in one place."
"Let's go then," Rocky said. "I'm ready for supper tonight."
"Oh I forgot to tell you, there's no eating on this trip," Adam stated.
"I'll die," Rocky stated. "You'll die. This won't work. All trips include food."
"Oh calm down," Aisha sighed. She turned to glare at Adam who was laughing. "Rocky, we'll stop near the river so we can fish. In the meantime, I packed some dried meat in your saddle bags."
"I knew I married you for a reason," Rocky said as he twisted in his saddle.
"At least we won't have to listen to his hunger pains," Billy laughed.
"We got at least four more days of riding," Adam said. "Do you think we'll be dodging Putty Patrol the whole time?"
"I hope not, but with their increased attacks, I would say the probability is high," Billy answered.
"Then let's get going," Rocky said between bites.
The four of them set a hard pace for the horses, but they didn't want to take a chance on Goldar and the putties finding them.

Connor eased his horse next to the creek. He wasn't sure of the Princess' path, but he knew she would need to get water at some time. The moon reflected off the water and gave him plenty of light. Normally, he would've stopped for the night, but he didn't want to be caught out in the woods alone.
He kept the pace slow, so that his horse didn't tire too quickly. He knew he would have to stop tomorrow night at the latest. Of course, by then he should be caught up with the Princess.
She was out here alone. She might be brave, but it was a death wish to be out here after the murder of her parents. It was his duty to protect her and he would fulfill that duty.
For many years, he'd wished for adventure. It was because of his mother that he joined the Palace Guard. She wanted him to be safe inside the castle walls. After losing his father, he wanted to be close to his mother. He was the man of the house and it was his job to provide for her.
When he was chosen, he requested an assignment close to the castle. Sky understood the situation and granted his request. His detail for Princess Kimberly was mostly boring. He didn't know if the Princess would ever venture past the castle walls. She seemed content to spend her days practicing with her bow. He was beginning to regret his request.
After their talk on the balcony, he saw a new side to the Princess. She wasn't content to stay inside the walls. She wanted to find her parents' killers. He couldn't fault her logic, but this wasn't the way to do it. Sneaking out of the castle after their funeral was insane.
Princess Kimberly should've taken at least ten men with her. Hunting the Mystic Warrior may just get the heir to the throne killed.

So what did everyone think? Please let me know. The next chapter will be out in two weeks. Also, if you want sneak peeks of what's coming, like my facebook page Falcon4Crane. I also post pictures on there from time to time.
