[Thor (Ike plushie) and Kitsu (Sasha plushie) walked into the kitchen to see a cotton candy machine]
"Kitsu I know what your thinking and no you can't swim in the machine"
[Thor looked at Kitsu who had huge eyes of excitement]
"but Thor"
"no Kitsu"
"fine can I at least have some cotton candy?"
"fine come help me"
[after the candy was nice and fluffy Thor looked around]
"Kitsu do you see the cotton candy sticks over there?"
"Yesh"
[Kitsu holds up cotton candy stick and runs over to give it to Thor]
"Kitsu be careful-"
[Kitsu slips and falls into the mashen]
"Oh, gods Kitsu!"
"wweeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Among Riches and Royals
Chapter # 10
Sasha and Nicky both rested their backs on a tree. they overlooked the whole of the kingdom that could be seen from the castle wall. Sasha snuggled into his arms and he hugged her as a result.
"the city is beautiful at twilight" she added
"I guess" Nicky added slightly
"what's wrong?" she asked looking up at him
"It's pretty but I've seen prettier," he said nonchalantly
"like what?"
"well the view from the top of the big church in the center of the Kingdom is breathtaking," he said in a slightly amused tone.
"and … " he trailed off
"and what?" she asked noticing his behavior oh god please tell me he isn't going to say it
"the view of the ocean from the top of the Silver bridge is pretty too" Sasha sighed in relief
"I don't know the view of the ruins at the secret area is super cute" Sasha added
"well that too" he leaned closer to her and gently brushed her hair with his fingers
A gentle wolf whistle caught the attention of both brunets, they looked away from the other and looked around to find the source of the sound.
The throne room was quiet, he sighed heavily and exited his privet corners. He walked into the council room. He looked slightly disturbed, then the members of his court entered the room. He sat in his throne and watched as seven of the nine chairs in front of his the one to his left was empty for that was the chair that belonged to his son. The other chair was one that disturbed him on the simple fact that it was empty.
The man to his right looked at his King strangely.
"Ike he isn't here" with a slightly soft tone the man at his right added "and I doubt he will come back"
With a soft sigh, Ike looked at his right hand and said
"I know that, but it's not just it though"
"what if we lose control in the west side of Ocendia," Ike said as if that was what was worrying him.
"that's not what's bothering you is it?" his right-hand man said leaning back
"you read me like a book don't you Snake" Ike sighed
"fine …" he let the mood drift around the room then continued
"what if Meta's disappearance was the Fallen' doing?"
Silence engulfed the room.
"then that might lead to trouble" Shade added
"that's the thing if they have Meta they might turn him into a Fallen then we are all done and over with," Ike said now standing instead of sitting
"your highness …" R.O.B. calmly raised his hand and Ike looked at him
"what is it R.O.B?" Ike said taking his seat again and Dylan stood
"if the rumors are true then I don't think it's Meta we should worry about … there is a higher chance that he is either captured to keep from talking or is most likely …" R.O.B. left his thought unfinished
"your right" Ike sighed
"his highness raised a good crisis through" a younger boy in his mid-teens with gold hair and shiny cobalt blue eyes. Dressed in a gold-colored tunic, with the inside of his cloak golden, however the outside of his cloak, his trousers, his boots, and fingerless gloves where all black.
"what do you mean?" Snake asked looking at the gold and black boy
"I mean … with Meta Knight out of commission who is going to keep the West side of the kingdom in check," the blonde boy added then took his seat
"the priestess is right-" Snake began
"Priest!" the boy yelled letting his gentle attitude slide
Snake shrugged then continued
"we need someone to keep an eye on the West"
"Yeah but who? … I either can't trust the other members of the UK or they aren't skilled enough to keep an eye out for troublemakers" Ike said slumping down in his throne
Dylan started to spin his dagger in a bored manner as he supported his head with his other hand. Ike noticed his bord stance but he knew the teen was never really the rude one. He was never really one to pitch ideas he was the quiet one. Ike knew that Dylan was thinking of something, something that must have distracted him. And that was saying something.
"Raven," Ike said
"huh … yes, your highness?" Dylan snapped back into reality
"is there something on your mind?" Ike questioned
"Ummm … well … yes" Dylan confessed
"speak up snowflake" Snake taunted
Dylan stood, and a dagger stabbed Snake's chair only an inch away from his face
"short temper much" Snake added but Ike put his hand on Snake's shoulder and shook his head.
"there is a traveler I meet this morning" Dylan began
"how do you know he can be trusted?" Shade added
"he saved my sister from a crossbow bolt, and helped me best some thugs, me some stranger he doesn't even know," Dylan said
"what is his name?" the boy in gold asked
"well his real name is … Kyon I believe he would prefer Caliber" Dylan added
"Caliber eh … fine we will consider it but we must meet him first" Ike added knowing that Dylan was a good judge of character
Ike and the other members of the UK court continued there meeting but Ike's mind was elsewhere Kyon … why does it feel like I've heard that before?
Nicky looked down and noticed a blue splotch, he taped Sasha on the shoulder and pointed to the blue splotch. She looked down and it waved.
"Hello, blue splotch" Sasha smiled and called out to it.
"you up there" it called back
"how are you?" Sasha called back
"get down here girl" he called out
"hey teach" Sasha smiled as she jumped out of the tree
"Sasha you couldn't-" he began
"aaaaahhhhhhh" she sighed exaggeratedly
"you know your father would kill me if something, were to happen to you" Quinlan, continued
"blah blah blah a proper lady shouldn't have fun blah blah blah" she mocked
"not that … it's just the princess should be … well at least the daughter of Jeremiah should carry a sword with her at all times" he added
"nice cover Quinlan," she said with half open eyes
"you never told me you where the princess" a voice came from the knot of branches and forced both the princess and her tutor to look up.
"Nicky … you were still there?" she said in a mix of horror and shock
"I got to go," he said and turned so that he didn't face her
"Nicky please" she began
"I got to go" his voice was choppy and it sounded as if he was trying to hold back tears or rage.
"you suck Quin" she grumbled and punched her teacher in the arm
"look if I knew he was there I would have kept my mouth shut" he sighed as he Sasha sat at a round table of seven chairs. Sasha sat in a slightly big throne adorned with gold, Sapphires, and royal blue cushioning. He teacher sitting only one chair away. He squires just arrived and sat in the chair between them. The huge throne to her right was designed similar but with more jewels and gold, his throne, however, had moonstones instead of Sapphires. To his right was a throne the same as Sasha's but instead of sapphires it was Emeralds. He sat on his father's right. Norah sat in a chair opposite the King.
"well Miah we are waiting," Quinlan said shifting his attention from the angry princess
"well I don't really-" Miah was cut off by Norah standing
"I think a gala is in order," Norah said
"what but Norah-" the king was cut off again
"I think it would be a grand idea I mean we haven't had one since we arrived and the young prince and princess were born" Norah added
"I think it would be a fine social gathering for people to get to know each other" Quinlan said casting a wink at the king
"on second thought I think it would be a grand idea" Miah perked up understanding that the two where offering that at the ball his daughter might find a good man … maybe his son as well if he gets lucky.
"now that that's settled we need to talk about the security" Norah winced at the idea but called the Knight Marshal in.
"Oh, and while you're at it I think it's time we started talking about Kyon" the moment the name was spoken Sasha's eyes narrowed and Jeremy 's hand silently few to his neck.
"why?" Sasha growled slightly
"he is the guardian of our family I think we need to inform him when we do thinks of this nature so he can be on his guard," Miah said nonchalantly
The doors opened and Quinlan stood walking casually to the seat opposite he was sitting, the doors flew open and Samus walked in and sat between Lee and Quinlan, opposite of Jerammy.
The door opened and Jerammy flinched a bit.
Kyon walked informally bowing to the King, seeing there was only one seat and everything fell awkward. Sasha and Samus watched him approach. Kyon is dressed in a royal blue tunic with silver blue trim, black trousers, black fingerless gloves, black boots, a royal blue cloak with silver blue trim, the Ocendian emblem engraved over the hart of his tunic and stitched on the back of his cloak.
"Samus this is our personal guard Kyon Shadowwalker" Norah motioned to the platinum blonde.
"nice to meet you" her voice was flat as if she was thinking something intently. Kyon only bowed.
The meeting continued. Jerammy lost in thought. Sasha, glaring at Kyon. Lee, dissent in his imaginings. Samus, staring at Kyon intently. Kyon, feeling awkward and trying hard to listen to the meeting. The three old guys, actually talking about the topic at hand.
After the meeting, Kyon was the last to leave the courtroom. Tip-toeing past the guards and down the halls until he was out of the castle. As he entered the small maze of rose bushes he let his guard soften. Walking quietly through the garden undisturbed. Gently touching a soft wight rose and smiled.
The sound of footsteps caught his attention. He bent low and hid behind a nearby bush. He looked forward but found no one. He lifted his head and looked around.
"what's with you Caliber?" he heard and sighed in relief
"I thought someone was-" he stopped and turned around
"Knight Marshal Samus!" he leaped out of the bush and a few feet away from her.
"why are you so scared of me Caliber?" she asked trying to hide her intentions
"I'm not hiding …I'm … just … uhhhh" he hesitated
"you answered to Caliber" a small smirk crossed her face
"oh well ummm … I thought you said-" he began
"Kyon sounds nothing like Caliber" she argued
"Ummm well" he almost panicked
"you're lucky I can't lock you up" she growled
"Ummm … well" he stuttered
"but since your good with keeping your mouth shut …" she trailed off and she took steps forward
"Oh gods please don't kill me" Kyon hesitated
"Oh trust me I won't KILL you" she smirked as she cracked her knuckles, Kyon swallowed hard
Sasha looked up from her book that Quinlan was showing her.
"did you hear something?" Sasha asked her tutor
Quinlan merely shrugged.
[Thor pulls out a giant ball of cotton candy out of the machine]
"Kitsu are you ok?"
"I am the cotton candy blob fear me"
[Thor pulls off a piece of candy off of Kitsu]
"ahhhhhh don't eat me"
[eats candy]
"your evil"
"you know you want to eat yourself"
"that's not the point"
