Sorry the chapters have been really short and this one is SUPER short but this chapter was getting to long so I had to make it 2 chapters making this one really short. If you are reading this short message the sentence above may be a little weird but if you read it a few times you'll understand it.

Ember arrived at a strange looking town. Instead of houses sitting on the street they were under ground. A window would poke out of the ground. The window was about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide. It was square and had a tiny bit of roof slanting back into the ground. By the looks of the window, it was also the door. Ember was welcomed by 2 guards, dragon guards, the dragons were small but power full. One dragon carried Ember's stuff and the other pulled her.

The dragons lead Ember down streets and streets of houses. Ember liked the big oak trees between each house. Ember was pulled to a light purple window. The other dragon dropped her stuff and pulled a key out from under one of its scales. It unlocked some bars and then slid open the window. The first dragon flew in and landed though the window on a couch. It slid off the couch and placed the purple chair in the corner of the under ground room and put the two boxes on a table near it. It flew out and pushed Ember in. Quickly locking the bars and leaving the window open the two dragons flew away. Ember got up and looked around. The living room was small with a little dinning table that she could easily pull up the couch or chair. In the second room it was her bedroom, with a bathroom off to the side.

Ember soon knew what she had to do. A king or prince would come down one of the streets and look at the princess inside the window. If they wanted to marry her they would make a deal with the dragons and she would be placed in a tower and a dragon would pretend to be beaten by the prince, he would come up and take the princess and they would be married. All Ember would have to is look pretty and smile.

Ember lifted her self on the windowsill and looked out. She could see miles of princes walking around of bending down and talking to princess, dragons flying everywhere.

And- "Hello!" said a small Ember turned to see her next-door neighbor. She looked small with her short curly brown hair in a bun.

"Hi" said Ember.

"New?" asked the princess

"Yes"

The princess smiled and stuck out her hand from her set of bars.

"I'm Princess Faith of The Empire of Sparta." Faith said smiling.

Ember shook Faith's hand.

"Princess Ember of the City of Ember."

The two paused for a second.

"How long have you been here?" asked Ember

"3 days. 207 princes came to talk to me," said Faith

Ember had to lean against the bars to keep her jaw from dropping open. Faith's parents did own an Empire after all. Ember smiled a little as the two stopped holding hands and Ember sank into the couch.
