I hope you like this! It's just the prologue right now, but I suggest you read it or else you won't get the rest of the story! Ciao have fun!
ON WITH THE SHOW:::
Princess Celica of Lothon in the Middle World, was a beautiful young lady. She walked the earth with grace and was pleasant in every way. Her long, straight, brown, honey hair shimmer with the hot rays of the sun and framed her face like a portrait. Her eyes were mint green and were soft. She wore long light blue robes that hugged her slim figure flowed down her long legs like a shinning waterfall. She was peaceful to all of her relatives, even her to her half sister who was quite a crud person. She was madly in love with Prince Craven and was soon to be married. But that all ended with her half sister, Princess Etha.
Princess Etha was short and skinny. She was beautiful like Celica, but in her own unique way she had beauty beyond words. She had dark hair that looked like a midnight purple under the sunset. Her eyes could put you in a trance with her dark brown irises and her long black eyelashes. Her red lips could seduce any man she wanted, but it couldn't attract the one she wanted. She wanted Prince Craven, who happened to be marrying her half sister in one day time.
"Crob! Get my cloak! We're going to see Herbsom he owes me a favor." She cried with an evil grin. Crob hobbled into her room on his wooden branch and handed her, her cloak.
"Get the horses, we will be gone for a while." She said in a dark whisper.
"Yes em' Shall I meet you at the gate?" he asked fixing his brown sack shirt. Etha nodded and pushed him out the door.
"Etha!" Celica called.
"WHAT!" Etha shouted back.
"I just so Crob are you going out?"
"What is it to you?"
"Well, we have dinner tonight with Craven's family. I thought you would accompany us?"
"No." With that Etha pushed Celica out of her way and ran down the gray stone steps of the castle, only to run into Prince Craven.
"Princess Etha, I'm terribly sorry."
"Quite alright." She answered sweetly.
"Have you seen Celica? I was on my way up-"
"Urgh! You'll regret marrying her!" Etha shouted and ran to the yew wood doors. Craven stared at the doors she had just gone threw.
"Craven darling is everything alright?" Celica asked placing a gently hand on his shoulder. Craven turned to look at her and nodded giving her a kiss.
"Craven. You shouldn't do that out here where anyone can see!" she giggled. He smiled and shook his head.
"I don't care I'm getting married to you my love. That's all that is on my mind, you and marrying you."
"Oh Craven, I love you." She said stroking his cheek. He kissed her palm and whispered into it, "I love you too."
Back to Etha
Etha ran to the gate and saw Crob with her black horse.
"Get on you worthless slave. Take me to the Hermit, Herbsome now!" she said slapping his head. Crob nodded and climbed on helping her up as well.
They road for two hours until the reached the edge of the deepened woods. Etha slide off the horse and grabbed Crob when he got off as well. She leaned in close to his face and whispered, "Stay here with the horse. Get it water and food. When I come back we ride hard back to the castle. The marriage is going to happen tomorrow morning at noon, and that doesn't leave me much time." Crob nodded weakly and watched her disappear into the dark green woods.
Etha ran threw branches and spider webs and lost her cloak in the process. She didn't care either she had to get to the Hermit. He was her only hope to put a stop to this wedding. She ran until she was in the heart of the woods where there was a small water fountain. She saw the cave and ran to it.
"Herbsome!" she called.
"Who are thee!" saw an old small voice.
"Princess Etha, I want you to help me." She yelled walking deeper into the cave. She kept going until she saw an old man with large ears, a body covered in gray fury and old white eyes.
"I want you to stop Celica from marrying Prince Craven tomorrow."
"I cannot do that."
"You will or I will kill you." She said reaching in her robes for her dagger, "Herbsome you owe me a favor." She saw him cower to a corner and let out a large sigh.
"I will not kill her, " he said simply.
"Then don't! Think of another way!" Herbsome craweled on the floor closer to her and went to a back corner. Etha followed him watching him carefully. He was pulling out some old books and was looking threw them tossing them here and there. He didn't stop until he found an old book that had a gold lily embroidered on the leather cover. The spine of the book was gold again covered with more lilies.
"I can't kill her, but I can steal her spirit." Etha fixed him with a perplexed stare.
"I don't follow." She sighed impatient.
"When you read the writing in this book and say the name of the spirit you wish to take, it will be locked in here until its protector comes to save it. It is the only way for the person to become, well alive again."
"Well, what if her protector is Prince Craven? I don't like this idea."
"It couldn't be Princess. The protector has to be someone magical and the riddle for whom the protector of Princess Celica will appear when you lock her spirit inside the pages."
"So your saying that she couldn't appear for centuries until that one person found her?" when Herbsome nodded Etha grabbed the book and opened the first page. Inside was scrawled in loopy handwriting,
Spirit of you I take,
To the gate of hell and back,
Without of thought of you I make,
Forget I and us will you and will lack
The feeling of being loved by one and two
So come to me spirit and never be you
"I chant this at the wedding and she will be taken into the book for years?" she asked ecstatic.
"Yes Princess. Take it and go, the dawn will strike soon." He said handing the book to her. She grabbed it and ran out of the cave and rushed back to Crobs and the horse.
"Get up you lazy dung. We have to hurry!" she screeched in his ear. Crobs limped to the horse and helped the Princess on by letting her step on his hunchback and then climbing on himself.
After a long and tiring ride back she ordered Crobs to take the horse back to the stables while she ran to the Great Hall where the wedding was being held. She knew she was very late and they probably have already said "I do" to each other, but she had to make it. She was not going to let her sister get the love of her life that easily.
"I pronounce you King and Queen of Lothon All hail-"
"You will not become in Queen Celica! I will not let you!" Etha interrupted the minister. Everyone turned in their seats and saw her holding the book open and they saw the glow emitting from the book.
"SPIRIT OF YOU I TAKE, TO THE GATE OF HELL AND BACK, WITHOUT OF THOUGHT OF YOU I MAKE, FORGET I AND US WILL YOU NAND WILL LACK, THE FEELING OF BEING LOVED BYONE AND TWO, SO COME TO ME SPIRIT AND NEVER BE YOU! I CALL THE SPIRIT OF PRINCESS CELICA!" Etha yelled at the top of her lungs. At those words the castle began to shake and pieces of stone form the walls and wood from the roof fell all around the guests and the married couple. Etha didn't care she just watched her sister in pain as a ghost like figure of herself was pulled from her body.
"CELICA!" Craven called grabbing her body before it collapsed on the floor.
"Now she will never be yours!" Etha shouted to him over the falling walls. Craven looked at her with tears and hurt. He turned to Celica and kissed her cold lips.
"I will always love you my darling." He whispered as the wall behind them crashed down crushing both their bodies and everyone else in the Great Hall. But the book floated out of Etha's hand and far away to some unknown place to find its protector.
Well that's it! That's what the whole story thingy is about!!! I think this one is going to be better than my other ones because this is more of what I usually write. I hope it is at least!
Thanks for review in advance!!!
Love,
