"Stop right there!" A Lindbum guard exclaimed while running over to Jade handcuffing her. "Keep away from the package!"
"H...hey what's going on?" Jade asked furiously struggling with the handcuffs. "LANCE, help. Why aren't they handcuffing you!?"
"Please, why would we handcuff the prince of Alexandria?" the second guard exclaimed.
"Prince, is that your secret?! HUH?" Jade asked.
"Well....maybe." Astral said quietly.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Jade asked.
"I'll tell you in a minute. But right now." Astral said while clearing his throat. "I Astralic Lance Alexandros the 18th command you to remove the shackles from her."
"Damn, I hate taking orders from such a snooty prince." The second guards mumbled under his breath.
"...fine, but you're still coming to meet your uncle with her." the second guards said while opening the doors and leading them out of the inn.
The two of them proceeded to the throne of the Great Uncle Cid who was accompanied by his wife and Eiko, who was now about 24 and soon heir to the throne of Lindbum just as well as Astral to the throne of Alexandria.
"Well, what do you have to say?" Uncle Cid asked in a calm manner, but you could tell he was mad.
"..............." Astral had no choice of words.
"It's my fault I told him that if he didn't come I would do the unthinkable." Jade quietly spoke up.
"Don't say that, you know that that's not true." Astral whispered to her.
"Guards, take her to the basement dungeon, and take the bow away." Uncle Cid exclaimed. "Astralic, go to the guest room, and guards, please accompany him."
The guards took Jade to the dungeons and took Astral to the guest room. Jade was locked up in the dungeons, while Astral was guarded at his room. Astral reached for his guns wanting to escape, but he couldn't find them.
"Ha, ha" looking for these." The guard laughed while picking up Astral's guns. The prince stomped back up the stairs and sat back on the bed wondering what they were going to do with Jade. Astral looked out the window, but a purple blob was coming straight for him. The strange blob that crashed into the window was a moogle.
"What the hell was that?" Astral exclaimed while opening the window's door. Are you alright?"
"Ouch." the moogle exclaimed.
"That hurt. O, pardon me, I'm Poogle the Moogle, but you can call me Pogo." The fluffy, purple moogle said while reaching up his tiny little arm up above his head.
"It's nice to meet you, but what are you doing here?' Astral asked while squatting down and shaking his fluffy hand.
".......I'm just roaming around, and I have nowhere to be." The young moogle said hanging his head down.
"Did you here about that black haired girl in the dungeons that is going to be executed in an hour? It's been the talk of the town these past few hours." The moogle asked sadly trying to strike up a conversation.
"JADE" Astral asked.
"Yes, I believe that's the name." the moogle said.
"Damnit, we have to help her." Astral exclaimed.
"You can help me. Can you get those shiny guns down there while I distract the guard?
"OF, COURSE I CAN! I always like to be a helping hand to royalty!" the light purple moogle exclaimed while flying down behind the table with the guards, and gave a thumb up.
"Hey guard, over here." Astral yelled while waving his hands.
The guard turned around. Pogo got Astral's guns and threw them to him. Astral caught the guns, and pointed the guns straight at the guards head.
"Freeze, asshole! Get in the closet and drop the spear!" Astral exclaimed while locking his gun, ready to shoot.
The guard walked towards the closet, and Astral locked it. Astral and Pogo burst through the guest room and started to head for the elevator that lead to the dungeon that Jade was in. They both walked by sneaky to the elevator so no one would expect that they were doing anything wrong. They went past the guards, and to the elevator.
"Once we get down there, we have to prepare for the worst." Astral said calmly.
"..Ok." the moogle said.
The elevator stopped, and the prince and the moogle ran off the elevator. Astral ran to the poison chamber to find out that a few guards were watching through a window to make sure she didn't escape.
"Drop your swords, and get on the floor!!!" Astral yelled out while pointing his pistols at the guards.
The guards did as he said and put their hand on their head. Astral ran over to turn off the lever that produced the poison hoping that it wouldn't kill her.
Astral rushed into the room and unstrapped Jade from the chair, but Jade was knocked out. Astral was glad to see her still breathing, so he picked her up, and ran out to the station the lead to Burmecia, but Astral saw Eiko standing in front of the cart. Eiko looked exactly like Garnet except she had purple hair. She was in a dress that resembled Garnet's that she wore at the Airship show before she set out on her adventure.
"Astral, can you please do me a favor before you leave?" the prince's cousin asked kindly.
"I'm not going back to Alexandria Castle if that's what you're asking." Astral replied.
"No, that's not it. My father has been acting strange for the past year or so, and I'm afraid something might go wrong. He might misuse his power as king. There has been a strange person that showed up a while ago, and that was when my father started acting strange. The only way that his powers work is by this stone." Eiko finished while taking out a large sphere made of the garnet gemstone.
"I want you to take it and make sure that he never finds it." Eiko asked politely.
"Sure."Astral said while putting Jade in the cart and taking the gem from his cousin.
"That means you must not go back to Alexandria or Lindbum for a while, ok?" Eiko responded
"That was my plan in the first place." Astral laughed.
"What's his name is?" Astral asked making sure to stay away from him.
"His name..... is Eieldon, so be sure to stay away when you here that name.
"I will." Astral replied while pulling the lever to send him off to the bottom of the castle gates.
Well that's the end of chapter three. Please R&R!!!
