We had already walked for three hours, and so far, we were almost close to Deningrad. The air was cold. Very cold. Just a couple more hours and we'd be at a nice, warm hotel. Hopefully.
"So why are you going to Deningrad?" Oceanus asks me as we're walking.
"Don't really have a reason. I just wanted to visit it." I answer. Once again, I was lying. I had a feeling that I should visit Deningrad. I don't know why, but I trusted my feelings. That was about the only thing that I did trust.
"Oh." He continued walking.
"Why are you following me?" I ask him.
"Because I want to." He told me. I smirked. "Why are you truly following me?"
"Why are you truly here in this world?" He asks me. Now that kept me quiet. Obviously, he knew what Charle knew too. I stayed quiet for quite a while. I stayed quiet for the whole trip to Deningrad. When we finally arrive at Deningrad, I was shocked. The Crystal Palace was beautiful.
"Whoa." I looked up at it.
"Surprised?" Oceanus walks through the entrance. I quickly follow. Many Humans stared at me, NOT Oceanus. I guess they thought my clothes were strange. I didn't care. We walked around. Oceanus walked inside the castle. I wasn't so sure, but I followed.
"Who stays here?" I asked.
"The Queen Theresa and the Four Sacred Sisters." Oceanus walked up the stairs. Before I knew it, we were in the Queen's Chamber. The Queen herself was sitting on her throne.
"Ah, Oceanus, welcome back." The Queen seemed happy to see him. I leaned over towards Oceanus and whispered, "How does she know who you are?"
"She's seen me like this." Oceanus bowed. He looked over at me. I quickly bowed too.
"Who's your friend?" Queen Theresa asked Oceanus.
"Her name is Tarina." He answered. I just smiled. I didn't feel like talking right now.
"Nice to meet you, Tarina. So what brings you here, Oceanus?" Queen Theresa quickly turned her attention to Oceanus. While they were busy talking, I quietly snuck off. I ran down the stairs. No one seemed to notice me. I ran out of the doors. I thought I heard someone behind me. I turned around to find no one. As I turned back around, I bumped into someone. I looked up. It was a man who looked like he was in his late twenties. He had light brown hair, tied back in a low pony tail. He was wearing a long green cape with light brown pants and silver chest armor. He was carrying a spear with him.
"Why hello there, miss. Are you okay?" He holds out a hand to help me up. I rudely ignore it and stand up on my own.
"I'm fine." I dust myself off. As I was walking off, he stopped me.
"Where are your parents?" He asked me.
"Who cares?" I continue walking again. I can feel him staring at me curiously. I continue walking. I do not know where I'm going, but I was stopped by someone. He grabbed me by my arm and put a knife to my neck. Everyone turned around and stared at us.
"Now, no one move or the girl dies." The man told everyone. No one moved.
"Now, everyone hand over ya goods and I won't kill her." The man stuck out his hand. If ya ask me, I thought this guy was just a plain IDIOT. The Queen had guards. A LOT of guards. Who did he think he was to come barging in Deningrad trying to steal everything and NOT get his butt kicked?
"Put down the girl." One of the Queen's guards ordered. Almost fifty guards were standing right in front of us. The man simply smirked. A Giganto came running through, bashing all of the guards. All of the guards were down in five seconds flat. I could tell that the man that I had bumped into earlier wanted to do something. But what could HE do? I knew what I could do though. My foot slammed hard against the guys foot. He screamed loudly, loud enough to send the Giganto running towards me with his axe. I dodge his giant axe. Just as he swings the axe at me again, I jump up onto the axe, and before I know it, I had used an energy blast aimed right for his head. The Giganto falls backwards with a snap. Everyone was staring at me, especially the guy in the green cape. The bad guy was just completely shocked. He turned around to run but a couple of guards that had escaped the Giganto grabbed him and pinned him to the ground. Just then, I realized what I had done. The Gigantos neck had snapped. I had never really killed anyone before. I turned around only to find the Queen and Oceanus staring at me. I turned back around in time to run. The guy in the cape followed me, but I was faster. Before I knew it, I was in a forest. The man was STILL behind me. He had a lot of patience, running after me. I would NEVER slow down. Not in a few minutes anyway. I turned a sharp corner and hid behind a tree. He ran past me.
"I lost him." I told myself. As I stepped out from behind the tree, I found myself face to face with the man. "What do you want?"
"You're a Wingly, aren't you? Winglies haven't been in Deningrad in a LONG time." The man told me.
"Why should I tell you if I'm a Wingly or not? Isn't it obvious what I am? Or are you blind?" I stepped back a bit. The man laughed. "You've got a lot of guts, don't you? Talking to a King like that?" The man told me. I was confused. "You're a King? You don't look like no King to me. Is this some sorta joke?"
"Yes, I am a King. The King of Serdio, and you are?" He held out his hand, obviously wanting me to shake hands with him. I ignored him. I simply spun around and started to walk.
"I could take you to my castle, Queen Emile would love to have some visitors." He told me as I was walking away. I knew I needed a place to stay. I couldn't go back to Deningrad. They would KILL me. "Fine then. But I'm not staying long." He laughed. "Fine with me." He watches me as I walk ahead of him. I knew where to go. Hey, during those few hours with Oceanus, I learned SOMETHING. I just didn't know that there were Kings and Queens here.
****
We had walked HOURS and HOURS before we got to rest. Okay, we only walked two hours, but it felt like HOURS and HOURS.
"Can we rest now?" I complained.
"Sure. We can set camp here." The man started to light a fire. It was already night, with the only light coming from the Moon That Never Sets.
"You never really told me your name." I told him.
"And you never really told me your name." He looked at me. He had a point. "My name is Tarina." I had gotten to the point that I answered that question with my fake name. I just didn't trust anyone.
"My name is King Albert, but you can just call me Albert. So why were you at Deningrad? Didn't you know that Winglies weren't allowed there?" He asked me.
"Winglies aren't allowed there? Why?" I asked curiously.
"A few years ago, a Wingly had kidnapped the Queen and ever since then, they just didn't trust Winglies." Albert answered, staring at the burning fire.
"Oh." I looked at the ground. "I'm gonna get some sleep now." I laid down, staring out into the distance.
****
I must've fallen asleep, because when I woke up, the sun was shining brightly. I groaned. I noticed I was on a bed. I shot straight up. I looked around. I was in a room. I heard voices outside. I stood up and ran towards the window. I was in a castle.
Am I dreaming? I shook my head 'till I was fully awake. "No, I'm not dreaming. How'd I end up here?"
"We'll explain that to you later." A woman's voice told me. I spun around. I saw a blonde woman standing a few feet away from me. She looked like a Queen. She probably was.
"Who are you?" I asked. She giggled a bit. "My name is Emile. Queen Emile."
So I was right. "How'd I get here so fast?"
"Like I said, we'll explain that to you later. For now, why don't you just come eat some lunch?" She led me out of the room, towards the kitchen.
After a good lunch, I wandered off again. Of course, while everyone was talking. I was gonna run off now. Again. I didn't think I needed to be here anymore. As I was leaving, a Giganto stepped in front of me.
"Albert say to keep eye on little girl, so Kongol do that." The Giganto, obviously named Kongol, told me. I steadied my fist. "Move out of my way NOW."
"Kongol no move." He just stood there.
"I said MOVE!" My fist lit up. I was going to blast this Giganto with my energy blast.
"HEY!!!" Someone ran up behind me and reached for my arm. I quickly turned around and hit the man in the stomach. It just happened to be Albert. Emile screamed. If only I had known that it was him. I didn't mean to hit him. He was the one who grabbed me. I started to back away when Kongol picked me up.
"Little girl hurt friend. Now Kongol hurt little girl." I could tell that he was about to punch me. And he did. Right in my stomach, knocking most of the air out of me. He dropped me. The King stood back up. I tried to catch my breath. I couldn't breathe. I had never been hit that hard before. I was losing consciousness. I tried to stand up. Everything happened so fast. Albert reached to grab me again. He knew I was hurt. I pushed his hand away as best as I could. I was losing most of my strength too. Someone was watching me closely. I could feel them watching me. As I looked up to see who it was, I fell hard on the ground. I could hear my heart beating loudly. Everything was going blurry. Albert pulled me up by my arm, and as he did, I hit him once more with all of my strength. He stumbled backwards. I turned around to run, dodging Kongol's arms. I ran out of the town. Guards not too far behind me. I felt my wings come out as I lifted off the ground. I floated there a bit before I flew off into the sky, leaving the guards behind.
****
About an hour later, while I was flying, everything went black. I could feel myself falling. I couldn't do anything about it. I stopped falling. I was in someone's arms. I could barely open my eyes, but when I did, I saw a man that looked about sixty with armor on and wings coming out of his shoulder blades. Was this a.........a Dragoon? Before I could find out the answer to my question, everything went black.
I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as I can. Please review and tell me if you liked it or not.
