Prologue

There was this vine all over the place. It was verrry spiky. It was stretched all across the Lost Kingdom... But he won't give in. His friends will help him.

"We can't bow to this plant," Emery said. "We discovered this place. We are not going to let it go now."

His friends, Kenric, Bronte, Oralie, Terik, Noland, Zarina, Darek, Clarette, Liora, Ramira, and Velia all nodded.

They'd travelled for days and days and days, in search of a place that wasn't surrounded by danger. Somewhere that was peaceful. Somewhere where no death lurked... Somewhere the Neverseen might not find them.

And yet, this place still felt wrong.

it felt evil.

"Okay," Velia finally said. "We will cut it away from this place."

Darek looked all around him "Won't it take forever?" he asked.

"It will," Oralie agreed. "But if we all work on it, we will succeed."

Kenric grinned at Oralie. "If we stick together," He said.

Kenric always agreed with whatever Oralie said. It was kind of weird. But, Emery had always thought they were in love.

Why don't they just leave us, and go be together? They look like they want to... But why do they stay? If I found someone, would I abandon them?

No. They need me. I am their leader.

Am I too bossy? Do they want to replace me? Am I too little bossy? Can I adapt? Do they hate me for making them come here? Do they think that I'm hopeless, that this place is hopeless?

"No," he said without knowing it. "We will not give up. This is our land. We can't let the bad behaviour chase us away."

There were murmurs and Emery realized that he'd said that out loud.

"For our new kingdom!" Ramina said.

"For the Lost Kingdom!" Everyone shouted.

"Okay," Emery said. "Let's get to work on our future kingdom."

They used their abilities to get some thorns off and started to cut the vines off.

It took a long time, probably about one to three years or so.

"Look at our place now." Emery smiled.

They all stepped back to admire their work. There were no vines anymore, but lush green grass. Instead of vine-covered trees, there were beautiful trees with delicious-looking fruit on them.

"We did well," Emery said. "Time to show it to the world."

They started again, making big hotels- hives-with bark and grass and rainwater. Soon, there will be a paradise.

The Lost Kingdoms.
