Chapter 5 The Meeting of the Kings

"Princess Buffy, it is time to get up," said Cordelia walking into Buffy's room.

I do not wish to get up," admitted Buffy. " I have a terrible headache, and wish to stay in bed."

"Princess, you have a morning ride with Prince Riley," Cordelia reminded the young Princess, who paid her never mind.

"Will you, please, inform Prince Riley that I will be unable to accompany him today," asked Buffy hoping Cordelia bought her lie.

"Very well, Princess, but you mother will be very put out," informed Cordelia bowing to the Princess.

" I understand," confessed Buffy, " please, inform everyone that no one is to bother me this day."

"Yes, Princess," with that Cordelia left.

Buffy laid back down on her bed of pink sheets. She gladly covered up intending to sleep the morning away dreaming of her Angel, until it became time to meet Angel. Angel her love, her love, she prayed he would be alright. The journey he chose to under take was dangerous indeed. If she lost him, she would surely not survive.

Deep in my soul,
Love so strong,
It takes control.

Now we both know,
The secrets bared,
The feelings show.

Driven far apart,
I make a wish,
On a shooting star.

There will come a day,
Somewhere far away,
In your arms I'll stay,
My only love.

Even though you're gone,
Love will still live on,
The feeling is so strong,
My only love.

There will come a day,
Somewhere far away,
In your arms I'll stay,
My only love.
My only love.

You've reached the deepest part,
Of the secret in my heart,
I've known it from the start,
My only love,
My only love.

"Are you ready, Spike? Xander? " asked Angel covering his head with a brown common hood.

" Are you certain that we are going to be able to get close enough to the sword?" questioned Spike. He made sure that his silver sword remained attached to his side as he too, put on a green common hood.

"Whatever challenges we may encounter, we may over come," responded Angel full of confidence.

"That is our Prince," encouraged Xander with his weapons of sides at his side.

"Shall we be off then?" Spike spoke, ready to have this over with.

"The sooner we get the sword, the sooner I will be able to be with Buffy."

" The Princess is really the love of your life," said Xander following his Prince out of the weapon's room.

"My only love," returned Angel. "We will take the passage out of the palace, that begins in my room, out," he instructed.

"Let us be off then," Xander complied.

The three young men walked down the unusually quite hall way. They were careful not to be seen or heard. Angel felt his sword at his side, a sword he hoped would take the place of the Capricorn Sword. Then he would bring it to his love, and together they would destroy it with the magic spell Buffy contained.

"Buffy, Buffy," yelled Dawn jumping up on her sister's bed jolting her awake. "Daddy's got the Kind of Galway."

"What?" shriek Buffy shooting up in her bed. "He had captured Angel's father?"

"No, Sissy, the King came a calling an hour ago. Apparently his son, and two guards are missing. He thought Daddy captured them. At this moment he is threatening an even longer war if they are not returned," explained Dawn.

"No, gasped Buffy throwing her covers off of her.

"Buffy, I thought you were ill," Dawn pointed out watching her big sister run around the room grabbing a simple white morning gown.

"Dawnie, help me fasten my corset," asked Buffy.

Dawn scrambled to her sister's demand, and did as she was told.

"Buffy, what are you going to do?"

"Hopefully stop a war before it gets worst," she replied. "Thanks, Dawnie," she called over her shoulder rushing out of her room.

'Please let me make it on time,' she hoped heading down the hall, towards her father's chambers. She encountered Riley coming out, but completely ignored anything he had to say. Stopping her father and King Henry had to come first.

"Henry, I have no idea where your son is," said King Hank ready to have this man thrown in prison.

"I have heard rumors that he makes frequent visits here," shot back King Henry.

"I know not of any of these rumors," returned Kind Hank, surprised that an enemy Prince could have been on his grounds. "I assure you my only interests is the Capricorn Sword."

"Which is rightfully belongs to Galway," stated King Henry.

"It belongs to Sunnydale," returned King Hank ready to duke it out, and would have if his eldest daughter had not rushed in at that moment. "Buffy, I thought you had taken ill today," said a concern father. "You should not be out of bed."

" I needed to stop this war from getting worst," cried Buffy. "Please, Daddy, King Henry can you not let this war stop?"

"Princess this war is…," started King Henry, impressed by this young Princess's request. She reminded him so much of his own son.

"Ridiculous," cut in Buffy fed up with such none sense. "The sword of Capricorn does not replace all those who have lost their lives in this war over it. What right does anyone have to sacrifice such innocent lives for a sword?" demanded Buffy feeling tears come to her eyes.

"Buffy, I understand your concern, but, Sweetie, you will understand when you get older," comfort King Hank trying to put a gentle hand on his daughter's shoulder.

" I will never understand," pulled back Buffy. "Neither will Angel," she said turning towards King Henry.

"You know my son," asked King Henry shocked.

"Know him," confessed Buffy shocking her father," and love him more then anything."

"Buffy, spoke the Queen Joyce hearing Buffy's last comment. "Is this the reason you have refused Riley?" she asked her daughter walking into the room.

"Yes," confessed Buffy. "and Angel loves me. In fact, right now he is taking it upon himself to take the dangerous journey to get the sword. Then we will destroy this deadly thing ourselves. "

"What?" demanded both the Kings.

"It is time to stop fighting," cried Buffy. "Do you not see?"

Queen Joyce wrapped her arms around her crying daughter. "Yes, I do," she said sharing a look with her husband and King Henry. "It is time."
