I got lazy on da titles.

Chapter 7: Windmill Kingdom!


Normal POV

The next day Rein was waiting in the front of the castle for Shade. Fine suddenly appeared next to Rein.

"Rein, did you know what we saw yesterday?" Rein thought about it.

"Not really. I'm not sure what it's showing us. Maybe it's... a memory?"

"A memory? But I don't remember having a memory like that."

"Niether do I. But it seems we were both in it though."

"That's really strange. Rein when did you get that necklace?" Fine said pointing to a star shaped necklace on Rein's neck.

"I got it at the Jewlery Kingdom. It was paired with a moon. I was wondering if I should give it to Bright-sama. But I found out he already has someone else he likes."

"How?"

"I was able to sense it. When I like someone I'm usually able to tell what their true feelings are. Well I gained that ability when I died and I'm surprised I still have it now." Rein said.

"That's neat. But why don't I have it?"

"Because you haven't died. We only traded places."

"I guess you're right. I never even knew you liked Bright. To me he's just too formal and sometimes awkward." Rein stared at Fine sadly. "I didn't mean to make you sad but..."

"Don't worry Fine. It's nothing." Rein said smiling again. "I really do like Bright-sama. But it will change eventually." Rein said. She looked up to see Shade. His face wasn't visible though. "Eh?! Shade?! When did you get here?!"

"I arrived a short while ago."

"D-Don't tell me you heard what I just said..."

"I did. I never knew you like Bright." Shade said with a painful expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Shade?"

"I-It's nothing. Let's just go." Shade said while entering the balloon. The ride was long and silent. Rein wanted to ask why he showed that sad expression but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Why did I just show that expression? I shoudl be happy, right? Shade thought. They finally reached the Windmill Kingdom. They exited and walked towards the kingdom castle. The journey was still silent. No one spoke a word. Tehy finally reached the castle and greeted Sophie and Auler.

"Hi Shade and guest." Sophie said.

"Greetings Shade. Who is you're friend?"

"I'm Rein, Princess of the Sunny Kingdom and Fine's twin! You have a lot of windmills!" Rein said.

"Don't ask for an explanation as to why there is another princess in the Sunny Kingdom. It's to hard to understand." Shade said.

"I see. Well we don't have much time to chat. Our father is dealing with some issues at the forest right now." Auler said.

"What kind of issues?" Rein asked curiously.

"Well the bird people in the forest are unhappy. This happened a long time ago as well but this time we don't know why they're doing it." Sophie said.

"Can I help?"

"Of course."

"Yay! Let's go!" Rein said while marching out the door.

"She really is Fine's twin." Sophie said.

"Yeah." Auler said after. All of them followed her to the door. They walked towards the forest where the bird people were. The place they reached had tents that were set up on the edge of a forest. There was a sign at the entrance. The king was outside trying to tell them to come out and talk.

"Please come out and talk. We want to try and settle this." he said.

"What has happened now father?" Auler asked.

"The bird people still won't tell us te reason why they won't let people into the forest. This matter has become very troublesome."

"Can I try talking with them?" Rein asked happily.

"Anyone who enters the forest is considered an enemy they say. So it would be to problematic if someone were to enter without their permission." the king said. Suddenly a bird person flew over the forest and into the edge. He walked up to the king. "Have you come to tell us the reason you have stopped people from entering?"

"No. I have a message from our leader saying that you will have to leave this area immediately." the bird person said. Then he started getting ready to fly back.

"Wa-" said the king but was cut off by Rein.

"Wait Mr. Bird! You have to tell them the reason!" Rein said while trying to grab it to keep it from flying away. It was almost half way in the air before Rein grabbed its foot. It started to fly off with Rein still hanging ontp its foot. "Ah! Someone help! I can't let go or else I'll fall!" Rein said while panicking. The bird person started speeding up as he flew back into the forest.

"If she enters the forest she'll be seen as an enemy. Now what are we gonna do?" Sophie asked.

"We need to get her back." Shade replied while running into the forest.

"Shade wait! You'll be counted as a helper!" Auler yelled. But Shade ignored him and continued running into the forest following Rein's path. Rein was still in the sky.

"Mr. Bird can you slow down? I'm going to slip like this." Rein said just barely holding on.

"When did you start grabbing my foot?" the bird said while looking back.

"When you were flying off. Now can you please slow down! I'm really gonna fall!" Rein said. When she finished her sentence her hand slipped off the bird's foot and she started falling into the forest.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!" she yelled as she fell. The bird swooped down and caught her arms with his feet.

"Are you okay? How did you even slip?"

"Like I said you were moving to fast!"

"I'll just slow down a little." the bird said. Then he flew to the center of the forest while carrying Rein. When they reached their destination Rein was dropped off at the bottom of the tree. Then he flew to the top where all the other bird people were. "Why did you bring a person from the kingdom? I thought we banned the people of the kingdom from entering."

"Well yes, but she grabbed onto my foot and I flew her over here without noticing." he shamefully said.

"Well you must bring her back to the camp or else more people will start to enter to try and get her."

"Wait! I still want to ask why you are banning people from the forest!" Rein yelled from below.

"You have no right to know. We only have business with the king."

"I am not leaving without an explanation! I already know you're not bad people! Mr. Bird helped me when I almost fell off the" Rein pouted. The bird people ahead started to talk to see if it was okay to let er know why.

"Okay. We will give you an explanation. Our forest area is fairly small. We wanted to enlarge our territory around the forest. The people outside the kingdom keep using the trees for their own benefit so our territory has become a bit small. So we wanted to expand it. We knew the king would reject us so we decided to use force. We stopped humans from entering the forest and was going to expand our territory. But now we are having difficulties because the tents are in our way." said the leader bird. Rein thought about it.

"How do you know the king will reject you?" Rein asked. They thought about it.

"We just know...?" They exaggerated.

"You don't know because you didn't try asking. You need to ask. If you're lucky he will say yes and if he says no then you must try and change his mind." Rein said.

"Well I guess we could do that. It's not a bad idea."

"You just have to try. It's not that hard to ask someone right?"

"Rein! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Shade huffed while running towards Rein.

"Shade you came to find me! Thank you!" Rein said while hugging him. "It was scary in the sky. I almost fell off..." She realized what she was doing and let go and started to blush. She looked to Shade who was turned away. He was also flustered as well. Rein noticed that he was exhausted and his clothes were worm out. "We can go back now Shade. The bird people finally told me the reason why they banned the people of the kingdom." Rein said happily.

"Ok. I'm just glad you're alright." Shade replied, still exhausted from the running to the center.

"Wait! Who are you anyways?" one of the bird people asked.

"I'm Princess Rein of the Sunny Kingdom! Thank you for accepting my idea!" Rein said while turning around and waving good bye. By the time Rein and Shade came back the sky was already dark.

"Rein, are you okay? We were so worried!"Sophie said while running towards Rein.

"Don't worry. Tell your father that the bird people have a proposal to ask him. I need to get home. It's really late." Rein said. "Bye!" she said while running towards the balloon. Shade said his good byes and followed along. That was the end of that day.


I kinda improvised... I got confused on some parts and to me its a little similar to the Seed Kingdom but its the only idea I had.
