It was a normal day in the Corona market place, everyone getting along, the occasional person shouting something to make sure they sell something but there was one suspicious person in the market place today.

A girl with long blonde hair, put into two braids, with brown eyes was sneaking around the market place and thankfully her red cape was making her invisible. Her main aim was to get, at least, a few cakes from the bakery, since she loved the cakes the baker made at his bakery.

Ok you can do this, just take them when he turns away it's not that hard the baker turned away and the girl quickly ran in and shoved as many cakes as she could under her cape and luckily ran out before the baker noticed she stole some cakes.

Easy as pie, well actually it was a piece of cake the girl then stood still in total shock when she noticed what the time was, 2:00, this was not good for the girl's situation as she needed to be at the palace to help the Queen in her duty. The girl then started running towards the palace as she was in enough trouble as she is. She then arrived at the palace wall and started to climb, you see if the girl went through the main entrance she would be in even more trouble then she is already.

She successfully climbed over the wall without anyone noticing her; her next challenge though was climbing up the palace, to the window, to the room where she needs to do her duty with the Queen. The girl did it with breeze, as she has done this climb many times before but other times she arrived to her duties on time. The girl reached the room and carefully snuck in and luckily saw no sign of the queen and decides to quickly change before the Queen arrived.

"Not. One. More. Step" the girl froze in her step and bit her lower lip, as she knew she was in a lot of trouble now. "What were you doing in the market place," the Queen grabbed the girl's red cloak "Lyra." When the cloak was pulled off to reveal the girl was wearing a grey tank top, maroon trousers and black boots. "Honestly the Princess of Corona sneaking out and stealing food, let alone not telling her own parents."

"Hold on a minute, Dad knew. Besides I was doing a favor for Damien." Damien is Lyra's 13-year-old younger brother, they were very close and Lyra is very protective of him being the older sister she is.

"And what was that favour may I ask?"

"Getting him a cake from the bakery."

'Why sneak out though?"

"He challenged me to sneak out as well."

"You and your brother are so alike." The Queen laughed "one last question though," the Queen went very close to Lyra with her eyes giving Lyra an uncomfortable feel "did you get me one?" Lyra let out a huge sigh of relief and her and mother both went into a fit of laughter. A soldier then marched into the room and he was looking very concerned, as well as afraid.

"Your Royal Highness, Queen Rapunzel. A man has requested the Royal Family and the whole Royal court to come to the throne room." The Queen and her daughter both looked at each other with concern. First of all Lyra changed into her formal Princess outfit, a long purple dress with a faded floral pattern, and let her hair go from the braids and placed her Princess crown on her head that her mother once wore.

The corridors were chaotic as everyone, even the servants, were running all over the place to get to the throne room which worried Lyra even more as she has never seen everyone so panicked, the last time she saw people this panicked was when people thought Mother Gothel was back. Finally Lyra arrived into the throne room a high ceiling room, the walls were decorate with jewels and gold, with a gold chandelier dangling in the center of the room at the right end of the room were high raised thrones for Queen Rapunzel, King Eugene, Prince Damien and Princess Lyra, all the thrones were purple with a golden outline for the national color of Corona. Lyra's throne was next to her father's, who was next to her mother who was next to her brother. Lyra rushed to her throne, as the Royal family have to sit in their thrones whenever someone requests the Royal family.

Lyra holds her father's hand as she wants to feel safe but also show she is strong so the only thing she can do is hold her father's hand. The man in the middle was quite strange as he looks like he was made of actual darkness as a sort of dress with black smoke coming off him but there was no smell of smoke, his face was the lightest of his whole body with his yellow eyes and his evil smirk.

"King Eugene, Queen Rapunzel, Princess Lyra," Lyra shuffled in her throne as she felt very uncomfortable when he said her name, "and little Prince Damien."

"What do you want?"

"Oh bit feisty are we King Eugene."

"Who are you?"

"Good question I am Tenebris." He laughed very menacingly while Rapunzel and Eugene looked at each other with shock. "Oh, so you've heard of me, nice to know I have a reputation"

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, I haven't said why I'm here have I? The answer is quite simple." Tenebris threw his left arm towards someone in the Royal court and a black cloud surrounded her and made her vanish. This had the Royal Court panicking as they just saw someone disappear in less than a second.

"Go back home Tenebris." Eugene said while pulling his sword out to threaten Tenebris.

"Oh but you don't you already see," Tenebris said while laughing, his face then went truly evil, "I am home." He then threw a cloud to Eugene, Rapunzel and Damien, which handcuffed them together, but for some reason it did not work on Lyra.

"Well, now I know I'm immune I can do this." Lyra then punched Tenebris in the face. He tried fighting her back but he was pushed backwards in shock as Lyra kept shining a bright light.

"Lyra, your hands." She looked at her hands, they were disappearing, and they were falling apart like golden pieces of paper and blowing away in the wind.

"No, I am not done yet." Lyra ran with all she had left but it was too late, when Lyra was in mid air to attack Tenebris she was gone. Rapunzel broke down into tears.

"Well now that she's out of the way." Tenebris spun around in the room so many times, that the palace was changing into a dark palace every time he spun. Finally and it was not the same castle everyone was standing in a moment ago. He then walked up to his dark throne and sat comfortably in it. "Yes this will do nicely' he said with an evil grin.
