Hello everyone. Here is my new short story. This short story is going to involve a very famous wizard and DrHankryZone13's Diaglo is also in this short story. I hope that you will enjoy the short story. :)
The day was bright and sunny for Queen Sarah's kingdom as her people roamed around while going to markets in order to buy stuff for either themselves or their families as well as playing with their children when they got the chance to do so.
Meanwhile, Nightfly, one of Queen Sarah's grandchildren, was in the nearby forest and he was roaming around in the forest due to the fact that he had been trying to find the bird called 'Diaglo' ever since the name was brought up by a mysterious hooded figure.
He continued to roam the forest until he came upon a dreadful sight and it was the sight of two dead bodies with one of them male while the other is female that laid rotting on the forest floor with the sight making Nightfly feel sympathetic for them.
Suddenly he heard the sound of somebody crying and he walked towards the sound only to find a male Spix Macaw child, who's vision is ruined as well as missing a right leg, the sight making Nightfly feel sorry for the poor child as he slowly crept toward the child.
"Don't worry, little guy, I'm not gonna hurt you" said Nightfly as the child felt a bit scared. "My name is Nightfly, what's your name?".
"My name is Diaglo, I lost my mum and dad" said Diaglo as he tried to feel around. "I can't see very well, can you help me?".
"Of course, I can, my friend, one child to another" said Nightfly as he helped Dialgo up. "We need to get you to safety".
While that was happening, Nightfly was thinking over what Diaglo had said about his name being Diago with the thought making Nightly realise that this must be the same Diaglo that the mysterious hooded figure had told him to find and he began to wonder if the hooded figure knows more about Diaglo.
The two kids continued to make their way through the forest until they came upon a house where a family of Scarlet Macaws took Diaglo in as well as bowing to Nightfly in acknowledgement of his status as a royal, though, Nightfly bowed back in respect as he hoped that the family can treat Diaglo's injuries.
The process was difficult, but, it was all worth it as Diaglo was able to walk again with help of a peg leg, though, it took a few more days for him to get use to it as well as learn on how to walk with it, though, eventually he was ready to leave, but, not without saying goodbye to the family that he taken care of him.
"I'll miss you, Sophie, thank you for the help" said Diaglo as he hugged each member. "Goodbye, Judith and Alfred".
"We'll miss you, Diaglo, we are glad to have helped" said Sophie as she kissed his forehead. "Make sure, to stay safe".
"I will, Sophie, I promise to be careful out in the woods" said Diaglo as he got his stuff. "I hope to see you all again".
With that, Nightfly and Diaglo began to walk through the forest again as the two began to talk about their personal lives as well as share stories of famous people that they know from the stories that had been passed down through generations with one of these stories being the Arthurian legends.
"You know, people say that Arthur will rise again" said Diaglo as he thought about it. "Even after dying from the wounds, that he had suffered from the battle of Camlann".
"I heard about that, too, he's the once and future king" said Nightfly as he smiled. "Many people believe that he will, one, return and I hope that's true".
"Though, it probably isn't, anyway, he's a great King" said Diaglo as he returned the smile. "Also, is magic outlawed in the kingdom that you're from, Nightfly?".
"To be honest, Diaglo, I am not so sure about that" said Nightfly as he became curious. "Why are you asking this, exactly?".
"I don't know, but, if magic is outlawed, that's not good" said Diaglo as he became worried. "That could lead to war between magical and non-magical people".
Suddenly the two were ambushed by some bandits and Nightfly, who was carrying a sword and shield as well as bow and arrows, quickly got himself in front of Diaglo in order to protect him as the bandits attacked them with Nightfly fighting back and defeating most of the bandits.
Unknowingly and without warning, Diaglo accidentally fired a bolt of energy that knocked two bandits unconscious and he was surprised that he had managed to use such a thing, though, he had no idea what exactly that he just used against the bandits as he watched Nightfly defeating the bandits.
The leader of the bandits, a male Yellow Macaw, was determined to defeat Nightfly and he was about to try just that when a loud voice suddenly rang out across the forest and it caught the bandits off-guard as they searched for the source of the voice, though, without much luck doing so.
"Who are you?, come out and fight" said the leader of the bandits. "Face me, you coward".
"Forp fleoge, Hleap on Baec!" chanted the voice as the bandits were thrown backwards. "Astrice".
Soon enough, the bandits were defeated as Nightfly and Diaglo turned round only to see the same mysterious hooded figure that Nightfly had saw before with the hooded figure gesturing them to follow him with both Nightfly and Diaglo doing exactly that as they followed the mysterious hooded figure.
The three kept walking until they came across a hut which stood alone in the secret part of the forest as Nightfly and Diaglo followed the mysterious hooded figure into the hut where the hooded figure closed the door while Nightfly and Diaglo looked around the hut as they spotted a kitchen and three bedrooms.
After looking around, they faced the hooded figure as it was removing it's cloak which revealed a very old male Spix Macaw and he had some grey feathers, brown eyes, as well as some wrinkles on his face along with the fact that he worn a very light blue coat and he also carried the same staff that Nightfly noticed during the attempt to rescue princess Lisa.
