Chapter 29
Elena woke up throwing herself forward from the bed she was sleeping in, looking around a seeing familiar room she was staying in. She swings her legs off the bed an gets up, as Tulip was at the vanity getting things out for Elena's day. Elena didn't know what time it was groggily with her eyes still closed, taking a brush as she brushed her hair. But stopped when hearing a knock at her door, yelling for who ever to come in it was Gabe with the children.
"Was I disturbed you're morning?" Gabe asked but was pushed out the way as Borgan, Jake, and Isabel ran over to Elena. All giving her a hug, an interrupting one another asking were she went. But Elena smiles an tells them to go get breakfast while she speaks with Gabe, they agreed as they left talking on what they should do that day. Elena gets up form her stool as the three jackquens walked through the door as well.
"So you found away to get the prince to do the peace treaty," Luna asked pointing a paw towards her. But only only meet with a small no in Elena's voice, they could all see she was getting depressed over it. Elena walks over to her bed an sat down with Skyler walking over, an laying his head in her lap trying to comfort her. Migs walks over on her other side allowing Elena to pet his head, this help Elena a bit smile at her friends comforting her.
"I don't see why he has to keep this up, we been here to long Elena we have to go back home" Gabe said as he walks over getting worried.
"You can" Elena says as she shift a little on the bed.
"What?, no I'm not going to leave you here in another country, you're family would kill me for doing such a thing," Gabe frowns looking at her as a scorning parent. Elena smiles at the small joke, her eyes begin to water not wanting to her friends to see. She slowly wipes away the tears, Gabe slowly sits down on the floor with one knee on the ground. Placing a hand on her arm an shoulder trying to comfort her, as Luna follows behind worried as well never seeing this side of Elena.
"God it's just so frustrating, it's like I'm talking to a wall an I feel like my efforts is going to waste" Elena voice was shaky. Gabe rubs her back trying his best as her best friend to comfort her, then a idea popped up. He leans over so she could see his face clearly, smiling as she looks over an giving him a confused look.
"You want to know something," Gabe smiles as Elena props up.
"What?" Elena asked waiting for what ever Gabe had to say.
"These pass three weeks have been nothing but praise towards you, Elena you haven't been here to hear them that an you mostly try your best to even talked with Alexzander, I still remember when you cornered him in a room trying to get answers," Gabe says sitting next to Elena on the bed, she remembered that day Alexzander was surprised at first then upset. Then he sat in a chair for nearly two hours as Elena wanted an explanation, on how he was not going to keep anymore secrets from her. At first he thought she was bluffing but then found out that Amir, was giving her info but the problem is he has to tell Amir these things so that his father, can get the daily information through out the day. Now that his plan of keeping the palace secrets away went out the dang window cause of Amir.
"That an the staff here all been in joy that their days have been slow, they all complained about how they clean the same room all day, till Alexzander being to light up on them, an that was the day when you help Alexzander with his father" Gabe smiled when Elena's tears slowly drys up. Even Migs gave a small comment on how the maids we're happy that she was so nice, that they would love to see her more often around the palace. An when the staff was happy when she gave a few ideas on helping them, even when she helped the sad servant that had all the keys to the palace rooms. Everyone was in a panic when they couldn't get things done, so Elena sat with the old man who felt like he was miss understood.
"Just go an have a civil conversation no blaming on who did what, an what did happened this has been going on to long" Gabe raps his arm over her shoulder giving her a big hug, Elena smiles as she expects the warm friendly hug.
"You just miss Mateo that's all isn't it" Elena gave him a huge grin knowing something about him, Gabe scrambles for words then slumped down.
"Is it that noticeable?" Gabe asked with a pink tone crossed his face. Elena giggles at his panic tone they were her best friends an she even knows what going between them. She holds up her hands in a fist an wave them in front of her in excitement. Wanting to know how it started with them two.
"Sooo how did it happen, wait I thought you like Juliette?" Elena wonder placing her hand on her chin thinking that she miss something. Flailing his hands in front of him showing that wasn't it, getting more embarrassed when now knowing that the Jackquens now know. He only told her that Mateo doesn't know an that Juliette was only a friend, that an she was already married that sparked an interest to Elena. Curious on who the husband was but Gabe only told her that he works at the palace as well, but even he never seen him before an that Juliette said that he was mostly a sick man. But was a great artist telling him, that were some paintings close to the throne room that was his work now Elena found something to do.
"Awesome I'll go see what they look like an maybe get my head in the clearing after what happened yesterday," Elena smiles in a joyful tone. Getting up from the bed Gabe follows after as they both head towards the kitchen, Elena stops at the dining door seeing Foloki, Mylene, LIarm, and Amir. She fells the air tense up she goes to sit down, then hearing that they are discussing about the temple. Saying something about holy artifacts missing, an that they may strike again later on in the day, pointing out hints on who it maybe as they continue they didn't see Elena walking over to see what's wrong.
"Is everything alright?" Elena watched the group look tried an all didn't know what to do now seeing it was a serious matter.
"No not at all, the tomes of the old kings and queens have been robbed an the old royal crown missing," Foloki says limps over to Elena as the others looked at her direction. LIarm told her it happened during the night but the night patrol, wasn't even close to it when they found it that the temple been robbed, he then explained that some thief been going around stealing the gems off the statues, then decided to go after the tomes that was placed in the old temple in town. Elena remembering the temple she saw before with Alexzander, Elena nods hearing what was to be said then asked if there was a royal treasury here in the palace, seeing that they gave nervous looks at each other.
"We do but that spot been sealed off for anyone to get to," Mylene says placing her hands on her hip.
"Are there any ways to get in?" Elena asked if the room doesn't have any openings the culprit would have no way to get in. Seeing that they all look at one another realizing what she said, Elena wondered on how did the culprit got in the tomes with out getting caught. Mylene had a idea pop up smiling big as she held her hands closed in front of her.
"Let's have a stakeout we will do it tonight an see if anything happens, the crimes happened two days in a row so why not tonight," Mylene says getting super excited. Foloki rolls his eyes as LIarm just shrugs but Amir didn't trust this plan, last time he let it happen Mylene nearly burn the damn palace down. She even turns to Amir an seeing his death glare, Mylene shield her face with her hand not wanting to get a lecture on what she is saying. He sighed nodding taking in the info that Mylene blurted out, Mylene smiles awkwardly not knowing what he would do but was was meet with, his foot stabbing into her boot an twisting it.
"If I ever see any damage to that room so help me Mylene, when ever it comes to your ideas nearly the whole palace has to deal with it," pulling his boot away as he walks away while Mylene grips her foot in pain. Amir stomps away grumbling about always fixing it, walking through the open hallway as he marched off to who knows were, Elena went over to Mylene comforting her while the woman try's to ease her pain. Then asked what why the Amir was mad at her but LIarm chimes in, telling her that Mylene ended up causing a lamp to tip over an cause three rooms to catch on fire. How she even do that Elena would never know, so they all set a time for their small stakeout that all left their separate ways.
Elena heads to the throne room seeing that breakfast wasn't ready she never really been in the room really, she walks in seeing the silver an blue thrones with blue curtains draping around the chairs. Elena walks around seeing the paintings some showing the royal family. Another with Alexzander an his friends when they we're young, they we're all grouped together all of them giving each a big hug. With huge smiles placed on their faces looking at the painting more, they all looked so happy then Elena's eyes set on the Queen her yellow hair shine in the painting, with her smile like a ray of sunshine as her green eyes sparkle like a jewel. Then to Alexzander who was hugging her in his arms as his mother hold his head to hers, Elena could see that he was truly happy even she knows how it feels to lose a parent, she turns her head when the main door to the throne room opens up.
Seeing Alexzander there holding papers in each hand shift throw them, an older man with white hair he was nearly tall as Alexzander, seeing that the man was head of the staff here Elena seen him before, he made sure everything was setup right Elena tried talking to him once. He never really said anything to her really he did bring a maid in training once, her name was Ishgo she was quite nice she was really big on fashion always went gaga when it came to Amir an Mylene styles. She shakes her head getting out of her day dream, Alexzander on the other hand was stressing rubbing his temple with a single finger, he stopped when seeing Elena fate had a cruel way of showing things, Alexzander sighs telling the servant to head for the dining room. Elena stand there nervous not knowing what to say as Alexzander walks up next to her. Elena grips her upper arm nervously as she watched Alexzander look at the painting, then gave a very out of the blue comment.
"Kind fell like they sort of mess up my face on this painting," he says as Elena looks at him an snorts, putting her hand on her mouth.
"Don't know your real face has it pretty bad, an you're black isn't the main part," Alexzander gave a small chuckle at her comment then smiles at her. Elena tense up blushing hard seeing his face like the one in the picture, confused Elena didn't now what to feel her body had a weird feeling. An with it becoming hot as well Alexzander saw that she froze wondering if he said something wrong, but only got a awkward goodbye from Elena as she ran away from him. Now worried that he said something wrong he reached out telling her to hold on, but the door Elena ran through slam shut as he placed his hand on the back of his head.
"What a strange woman" Alexzander says as he walks to the dining room, to finish the up on what he was doing not to long ago. Elena ran through the hallway towards her room in a panic, why was she running away why did she run away? Opening her door an running in she slams the door turning around with her back at the door, blushing mad Elena placed her hands over her face squishing her cheeks. Then fanning her face with her hands trying to calm herself down, then she heard her bed squeak when moved looking back seeing Skyler laying on her bed. Seeing Elena's distress Skyler was worried jumping down, now right next to her Skyler asked what was wrong.
"Wrong?, nothings wrong just hot that's all" Elena laughs nervously but Skyler shakes his head.
"No, you're acting the weird way when Migs met his mate" Skyler says as he points a paw at Elena, her eyes growing big did she no there's no way a crush on Alexzander. The big stupid self centered sweet wait sweet?, she didn't just called him sweet he was never sweet but no matter how much they argue he would always agree that he was a jerk, he would always say in a low voice as kid when knowing what he did was wrong, an when they would meet up they would talk the day away even the nights in the kitchen, it was quite nice to have him tell old stories about him an his friends adventuring days. Nearly caused her to laugh in tears when Alexzander told her about the island story, off shore was a place known for having a plant that would cause the person to trip bad, but no one would have thought that the locals used it in every day life, an for nearly a week only Conner and Foloki wasn't high off their mind. Told her that Conner had make sure Mylene didn't strip an him to not stand in one place an stare off in the sun, LIarm on the other hand would hug everyone that he would meet so Foloki would have to take the hugs.
Sitting on her stool as Tulip went up an played with her hair doing small braids, after the fight they had both agreed that if anything that dealt with her country, Alexzander would promise no more lies with her as long if not towards her. That was the day when they got back to the palace after the evil dragon fiasco, he even guided her towards her bedroom as she didn't let go of his jacket, they we're both tiered and stress not saying a word Elena could remember was laying her head on his arm, then passing out from the over stress she was thankful that Alexzander help her. Laying her elbow on her vanity an her hand on her cheek she never really had a crush before, heck the thought never crossed her mind all she thought was to living her days out as a ruler, not with some guy she just meet two months prior maybe it's not a crush. That's it there's no way that it can be a crush, she has to feel the butterfly in her stomach like her mother told her, when her mama met papa but then again Abuela told her that when she met Abuelo, they smile into each other's eyes an dance the night away as love filled the air. Elena can tell something there but does he feel the same was it only going to be a one side thing, was her days are to long a man she can would never be with.
Heck they live in two different countries even if it did happen would long distance relationship work, so many thoughts ran through her mind Skyler sat next to he, he could fell the distress from Elena as he watch her groan an bang her head on the vanity.
"Why don't you go on a date with him" Skyler says as he points out his idea to her. Elena looks over surprise that he suggested that idea, but she didn't want to go up to him an say 'I may have a crush on you, would you like to go on a date to see if I'm right about it an if not we never speak again.' Elena slams her head down causing the glass containers to rattle, Skyler placed a paw on her back.
"How was is it even possible to even like him" Elena mumbling the words as her arms to cover her face, Tulip was braiding her hair together then flying over to a box picking out small flowers. Elena looks straight into the mirror she had bags under her eyes, her face tired from the lack of sleep she closed her eyes taking in the cold felling the vanity had, then her stomach growls sighing she forgot about breakfast. Elena stands up heading back to the kitchen hoping that Alexzander left, an hello go figure he's still there he sat head of the table as on his right Isabel, Borgan, and Jake sat to his right with it ending with Gabe, leaving the left side open as the jakquens sat on the same side on the left.
"Nice braids Elena" Isabel says as she could see the white flowers around her head an on braids going down in her ponytail. Elena smiles as she sat next to Alexzander getting a little nervous, Tulip was still putting flowers in her air flying around placing in spots that didn't have any. Tulip still had a few left an flys over to the children giving them each one then one to Gabe and some for the jakquens leaving a single flower left. The fairy turns around seeing Alexzander eating away scared that he'll touch her, but inched her way to him then taking his long golden hair an braids it. But being careful to not get in his way the children are happy, pointing at the flowers smiling as Gabe smiles lightly that he even gets one. The old servant before shows up again placing down papers next to Alexzander, he takes the papers wiping his mouth with a napkin Elena wondered what it was about. She leans over to see what it was for Alexzander not thinking he turns the papers, letting her see what's on it reading she could see that it was dealing with the village complaints. He slides a few towards Elena for her to read taking a few as she looks reading, Borgan was flicking food at Jake for fun an would laugh when Jake would eat it. The atmosphere was nice Elena could fell the joy in the air, looking at Alexzander who was smiling at the small scene. Elena smiles as well all of we're having fun, with a single warning Borgan sneezed.
"ACHOO!.."
Everyone jumped at the sudden act an Borgan had a single snot dangling from his nose, Jake tried to wipe it away with a cloth on the table but Borgan on the other hand. He takes is face wiping it over Jake's long sleeve smearing it all over it, Alexzander jumps up trying to stop him as Gabe tries to move Jake out the way. Isabel an Elena are both laughing so hard as they both are holding their stomachs, Alexzander picks up Borgan as he sneezed again now the snot was longer. Jake was giving a eww look an taking off his dress coat, Elena gets up as she helps take Borgan as Alexzander takes the coat. Calling for a maid to take it away Isabel takes a cloth as Elena leans Borgan to her, helping him with the mess as Gabe takes another coat for Jake from the maid. As they fix the small little chaos Borgan had made, steps could be heard heading towards the dining room as the main doors open.
They all look over to see who came in seeing that it was a man dress head to toe, with silver armor the helmet was in a shape of a dragon head. An on the back had a blue feather as his rattling of the armor, steps to them Alexzander placed a hand on Elena's back so he can move to the man easily. The man stopped he had a long axe in his left hand, he placed the weapon on its end as it made a clang on the ground. Alexzander walks over at the man as they had their small little conversation, as they both talked Borgan looks over to the man with his arms open an his hand, was doing the gimme motion he leans forward Elena had to hold on him so he wouldn't fall.
"Conner!"
Conner waves at Borgan as he goes back to Alexzander, he wasn't upset that the evil dragon was dealt with. But when he did leave him to see something unsettling at the borders, he had some information for the royal family coming to the palace still in his military armor. He was talking with Alexzander as Elena watched his head nod, then rubbing chin with his blank face he closed his eyes taking in the news. With Borgan in her arms as he was getting upset that he wasn't let down, Elena hands him over to Gabe but Borgan gave a whine as he grips on her light green dress. Not wanting to go as Jake try's to sooth him to let go Borgan would shake his head no, Elena sighed as she rubs his back trying to calm the child what ever she did Borgan was glued to her.
Maybe it was the days when she aloud him to sleep in her room, or told night time stories about Avalor when he would have a nightmare. Elena would set a pillow down an lay him there as she rubs his back with a little song, she came to love the little half goat boy even Jake who had questions. She would answer them the best she could the little sister time she had with Isabel, end up becoming a sort of family time to them. Jake would always encourage Isabel even gave his ideas though they weren't the best, her sister would still take the time to show Jake why it wasn't a good idea, then came up with another out of the world ideas.
As they had their own little problem Alexzander was cursing to the heavens, not out loud per say but the news was bad Conner told him one of the countries, that hated Valisia attacked a village near the border. It was Valence a man that would kill anyone in cold blood, even his own men he didn't care as long it was a challenge to him. He hate the Valisians with a passion he never gave a reasoning why, when it comes to the peace treaty that Alexzander wanted he never cared. An this worried Alexzander was there a war coming this soon will the other four countries follow as well, except one but that place couldn't do anything the lands are bare the people are starving.
Even if they got in they wouldn't last their country would have been eaten right away, Alexzander tried to make sure that it wasn't taken over the only support, he was even gotten from them was medical aid, even with that they swore that it was the only help he was getting still not trusting him. Alexzander wanted to know when but the answer was only today that it happened, he has to get Elena and her companions out of here if the five countries found out. There would be war declared among the southern countries, an this would be a full on world war Alexzander wants Conner to take him to the village. Elena quickly hands off Borgan to Jake as he cry's for Elena, as she was now in ear shot Elena could hear clearly what was going on.
"Valence and his men where are they heading?" Alexzander asked not hearing Elena behind him.
"To next village I already station the men there, by you or your fathers orders the battle will being" Conner says then looks up seeing Elena there.
"I didn't know it was you Conner, is this what you wear when it come to dragon's that goes wild?" Elena looks at him, Conner kind of looks like those people in stories of adventuring books. Conner nods her way an gave a friendly slap on Alexzander's shoulder, then walks away Alexzander turns to a guard station near a wall. "I quest for my father's ears" the guard nods an heads to find King Howard, Elena watched the guard hurries away then to Alexzander what was going on.
"Is everything ok?," Elena asked as she could tell Alexzander wasn't happy, but all was said everything was fine an to watch the kids. Then walking away in a hurry his robe trailed behind as he marched away, Elena could more guards through the door Alexzander went in as many followed him. Elena went back to the table as Borgan wanted her take him, as Jake hands him over Elena carries Borgan with one hand on his back as the other holding him up. Gabe asked what was wrong but even she didn't know ether, deciding that going to the gardens for Juliette or Amir world help.
As they headed for the gardens Elena knocked on the green house doors, nothing no sound or voice was heard Gabe then opens the door letting them in. Juliette was there watering the garden with a man next to her sitting on a chair, painting away he was quite skinny so this was Juliette's husband? His dirt blond hair was shaggy an he was wearing a white cotton sweater with blue wool pants, Juliette waved to them as her husband didn't pay attention to them. Gabe was the first to ask what was wrong with Alexzander's sudden departure, Juliette had no idea that he even left all she knows is that something about a village getting raided.
Elena shocked an sad at the same time it made her wonder who do such a thing, so Elena choose to find Amir at his work room trying to hand Borgan over once again. She did it as fast as she could hand him over tin Gabe but, even he didn't want her to go by herself. Telling them it would be quick running through the halls an sliding pass the corner, hopping down the steps trying not to fall on the way finely getting there. Puts her hands on her knees an bent over breathing hard it felt to her like she ran a marathon, getting up Elena knocks at Amir's door asking for entrance.
When she was knocking the door swings open Amir was standing there in his pjs, tired from the commotion outside his door an seeing Elena there. Elena smiles asking to know what's wrong with the village an the raid, Amir tired eyes rises he didn't know asking when it happened. Telling him it wasn't to long ago with this Amir motion his hand over his body, as white light turns his clothes into his normal ware an running away. Leaving Elena to trail behind him they ran pass the throne room an into the wing were king Howard stays, as they head there as they walked in the room of King Howard who was on his bed. Elena stops at the door she could see all of Alexzander's friends there, with Alexzander near his father holding his hand. The Kings face was getting worse more of a skeleton then a man, he was breathing was getting hard for him take air in.
The gasping was the only thing Elena could hear in the room, Amir slips pass Elena to the King as he placed a hand on his head. Checking to see if he was any better Alexzander turns to see Elena there, she felt awkward in the room like she shouldn't be there as Alexzander's hand motion for her to sit. Elena takes a set far from them as she watched the scene unfold, Alexzander leans his ear over to his fathers face as he whispers something in his ear, as the others stands by waiting for their orders. Alexzander leans away taking in on what he had heard, he breathes in looking at the others as Amir leans in when King Howard pulls at his sleeve.
"Mylene, Conner, and I will deal with Valence, LIarm, and Foloki will deal with this thief," Alexzander stands up still holding his fathers hand.
"Man I was hoping to do the stakeout" Mylene says but met with small shove by Conner. An she shoves back and sticks her tongue out at him, LIarm nods as Foloki huffs not wanting to be stuck with the boring conflict.
"Why don't I deal with the thief?" Elena offered, they all looked at her seeing that she was serious.
"Thank you for your offer but I don't think" Alexzander says but Elena stands up.
"Amir's staying right so if he's here there's nothing to worry right?" Elena explains, as Amir looks at them putting his hand up trying to get a word in.
"An you don't have to worry of not having all knights not all with you, so what ever this Valence guy doing you have all of them there right?" Elena explains as she watched Alexzander looks at his father who nods in approval. Alexzander then sighs an gave an okay but in one condition, Amir is there personally he didn't trust the thief he didn't know if the man was dangerous, Amir sighs an agrees as Alexzander's friends leave with Amir bowing as a goodbye an leaving as well. Alexzander lets go of his fathers hand now next to Elena, she looks at his extended hand that was offered for her in the middle of his hand was a brooch, confused takes it in one hand it was blue sapphire with the royal Valisian emblem inside, with a silver star like base to hold the gem.
"What's this?" Elena asked flipping it to its back seeing the pin for it hang on clothing, Alexzander looks back blankly at her but Elena didn't notice though she could feel him look at her.
"A magical brooch, helps the wearer be shielded from magical attacks" Alexzander says as Elena looks up at him.
"Why give me this?" Elena didn't know why he given this to her, Alexzander placed a hand on her shoulder it gave chills to her.
"Thief is a magic user they turned the guards an priest into stone, while using some sort of gas to nauseate others" Alexzander says as he guides her out the room his hand shift to her back. Elena walked now outside the room in the empty halls, as Alexzander turns back to Elena with now softer eyes.
"Just try not to jump head in, we don't even know if this man capability of killing" Alexzander walks away leaving Elena there dumfounded, was he worried for her is he showing affection towards her? even considered affection she could see something in his eyes, not really knowing what it was Elena watched him leave her standing there. Elena whole face became red oh god she thought I have a crush on Alexzander the prince of Valisia. Elena turns back around speed walking to her room, the staff all said hello to her but the could see she wasn't paying attention to them.
Elena closed the door to her room heart pounding a mile a minute, she paced around her room again going around in cycles. Covering her face then she stopped taking a fist down in her hand, a idea popped up on Skyler's idea of a date or so call "date." She'll find the same reason all over again why she hated Alexzander, an so long strange feelings an get everything back on track, smiling at her plan as she head towards her bed. She leans forward face first into the bed closing her eyes, Elena realize that she was tired curling up an falling asleep, with some hours passing Elena felt something cold on her face.
Sitting up Elena rubs her head in pain looking up she came face to face with an white owl, it was standing next to her bed it was the size of a man. She knowing she seen it before she slides off the bed, as the owl walks over to her window folding its wings together.
"For a Crown Princess, you quite sleep a lot?" Elena knows the owl was Amir, not because he turned into an white owl when he left her in Avalor, but she can tell by his voice Elena frowns at the comment.
"I normally don't, but because I'm not use to cold weather I don't know what to do, or you guys even do?" Elena says to Amir but he wings open up pointing at her.
"Your quite right, then again I don't think Alexzander wants you running around in the cold an getting hurt" Amir said as he takes his winged feather an taps his chin, as he lean over opening the window.
"Alright, Princess Elena shall we proceed to the Valisian Treasury" gesturing towards the window.
"I thought it was in the palace?"
"It is, a single tower no stairs no doors no way to get in but by magic" Amir says that part in a child like way while wiggling his feathers. Elena rolls her eyes then shivers from the door being open to long she head over towards her closet, pulling out the white coat again that she's been wearing for awhile now, slipping it on Amir turns his back to her indicating for her to get on. Elena looks out the window then to Amir.
"What are you waiting for?, I don't have all day well I do but not right now" Amir looks back seeing Elena hesitate. "Oh I see, it's because I'm a owl right now isn't," Elena shackes her head now getting nervous an points to him.
"I don't know how to you know ride you, like not in a bad way more of a way to not fall off way," Elena says as she sees Amir nodding "alright just grab my feathers an you'll be fine, I think..." but when Elena heard him say the last part he had already taken off. Elena was pulled back when he taken flight, pulling herself into his feathered back closing her eyes as Amir flaps his wings, she opened her eye then leaning back up as the flew around the palace back, seeing the palace dragon stables an pass the ground in far distance in the woods, she could see a trail path leading to the tower Amir told her. Seeing it was cut from the palace Elena leans forward near Amir's owl face, "it's quite far from the palace in Avalor ours is inside the palace," Amir nods then speaks up from the rushing winds.
"Normally yes, but the palace was bigger back then an dealt with damages from 200 years ago," Amir lands near the tower Elena hops off him seeing the single tall tower the top had a triangular top, as the main structure was a single square shaped brick walls. Seeing no windows an doors now Elena wondered how we're they getting in, as Amir shape-shifts back in his human form dusting himself off.
"How big was the palace?," Elena wondered as Amir waves his hand over the brick wall, as they moved for them to enter. "The palace was more under ground then above, when the dwarfs entered the cause against Kritis's homeland, they helped build the lands of Valisia" Amir moves out the way for Elena to enter first, Elena moves inside but she could only see darkness.
"I never got to ask, do you know anything about the prince 200 years ago?" Elena asked spins around trying to find something that had a hint of light, Amir pulls at a chainlink hanging near a wall Elena had herself in center now, she stops an looks up the top roof panels inside moved to make room for light to enter in. Causing the golden room to light up at the very top Elena could see a white crystal at the top, the light caused the crystal to glow giving more light she stopped. "Wow" Elena was amazed she could she gowns with gems or cases of jewelry, she could see men's clothing next to women's clothing in large glass cases, she then looks behind her walking up to the glass case, if she ever payed attention it would have been the first thing she would have seen. It was a plated armor colored white with a blue cape draping over its right shoulder, on the helmet looked like a face of man an on its head wore a crown, it was silver an blue with diamonds embedded in it, Elena notice a dent on the chest plate placing a hand near the area.
"What happened?" Elena looks over to Amir seeing that he was quite looking at the armor.
"It was Kirits's coronation clothing, it still has the dent when he was assassinated," Amir says as he watched Elena gave him a sad look.
"So from then on every new king would wear the armor in honor of him, to show even he can still be crowned" Amir says as he walks over to a chair that had a suit of armor on it, removing the suit Amir sits down crossing his leg over the other. Elena steps back as she looks around the golden room, "alright so what happened to the hated prince though?" Elena wondered.
"Ah him, well it was quite strange I left to you know up my wizard powers, I came back for a bit" Amir says as he taps his cheek with one of his fingers./span/p
