Chapter 3: The Kings New Look

I awoke early in the morning I mean really early three hours till dawn to be exact I found out by what was left of the clock. So I wandered around the palace looking for anyone else who might have survived.

I couldn't really think about why I had survived or what I should do because I had a splitting headache. While wandering through the palace my thoughts went to Medea, what had happened to her had she been cursed like everyone else or did something else happen to her, I shuttered to think she got hurt.

I guess I was just wondering around the castle mindlessly, it probably wasn't smart to go around Castle Trodan with no Idea where you where going of the four castles of the world Trodan prided itself on being the largest of them. As you know there are three continents in the world, and each continent is governed by a kingdom, the southern kingdom of Ascantha, the western kingdom of Argonina and the northern kingdom of Trodan (there also princess Minnie's castle but that was on an island not a continent).

So anyways I was wondering near the forbidden gate when a short toad like monster came out looking like it had a hangover. This monster didn't look like much of a threat but monsters did tend to look more silly then scary, still even small monsters were dangerous creatures, even peddlers had to be trained in militia to defend themselves from monsters. Despite this it was rare that monster went into human territory.

So I did what people usually did when they see monsters, I attack it, but luckily I missed "Guv what in the name of the Goddess, has gotten into you" said the monster, I recognized that voice I inspected the monster I little more closely this time, I was shocked to find it was an exact likeness of King Trode save a few small details (if you count green skin a small detail)

"King Trode is that you?" I asked

"What do you mean of course it's me" said Trode angrily

"What happened to you your majesty" I said

"Huh what are you talking about" said Trode to inspect things Trode took out his little mirror. He was beyond shocked too discover he's transformation. My ears were banging by how loud he was screaming.

"My face my handsome face how could this happen? Of course must have been curse wait a minute Medea was caught in the blast, oh no Medea"
With that the king rushed up to the forbidden room I did too of course wanting to see if the princess was all right. Alas when we got there we found out that the princess had turned into a beautiful white horse. This time instead of screaming Trode practically sobbed

"Oh my daughter turned into a horse damn that infernal Dhoulmagus to hell"

Dhoulmagus was responsible, the captain warned me about Dhoulmagus that night, I didn't see any sign of him Dhoulmagus, was quite sneaky, perhaps if I had spotted Dhoulmagus I might of have been able to stop him and prevent Trodan from being cursed but in a way I'm glad he I couldn't stop him sure I don't like the idea of my home being cursed but it sent me on the greatest adventure of my life and when it ended everthing changed for the better.
