So this one is kinda short but hey it's a chapter


"YOUR HIGHNESS!"

Septum turned at the shouting from his desk. He had been busy with his sister's recent escapade leaving him with the rest of her duties. She was always the thriller seeker. The doors flew open to reveal a flustered Austin. He was covered head to toe in ropes of varying sizes.

"Septum I think you're daughter has a sick obsession with ropes." Austin's eyes were glowing a continuous gold as he muttered the release spell over and over as he struggled with the ropes. Septum's eyes flashed and they fell to the ground.

"She has gotten good at enchanting I see…"

"Yes and she knows how to asign it to a person." He looked into his temporary king's green eyes. He was a tall man. Long and thin. His black brown hair tied back in a loose ponytail.

Septum tsked. "What were you yelling about?"

"She's gone sire." Septum's fist clenched.

"What do you mean gone!" Austin rolled his eyes.

"It means she followed Lady Artemis!" He shouted back.

"Damn the girl. She has to much of her aunt."

"I know." Septum's grass green eyes narrowed. His pale handsome face was filled with fear for his daughter and for his sister. If she ever got hurt, whoever did it was in a world of pain.

"Find her, what ever it takes. Bring my daughter home safe… Austin I hope she can never catch you off guard again to do this." Austin bowed and his long orange hair covered his face. He smiled that crooked smile of his and with that little broken fang. As he stood he was flooded with reassurance that his little girl would be safe just by that gleam in his brown eyes. The man he had pronounced his child's protector and his sister the queen pronounced the castle guard's commander.

Septum didn't even hear him leave.

"Bring her home…" he whispered as he looked out his window at the sunlit forest.
