A half decade later after the events of trials of mana*
The people of Ferolia are continuously living peacefully in their hometown as they have grown their bonds together, in order to sustain their culture. The adults are doing their usual lives of progressing themselves throughout the town while the children are having fun with their fellow friends of playing their unsual traditional games throughout the streets.
Changing the scene to the park and to the three having a brief walk*
As the heroes taking their wonderful time roaming along the park, they are having a brief conversation about their pasts that involves about the events of their trials.
The three are passing through the youngsters playing tag.*
"Ah. Good thing, we are already done on that stressful quest aren't we, Charlotte?", Hawkeye reminded his friend about their past with regards to their long journey back then.
"Can you rather forget that part, Hawkeye? I'm trying to move on with that event. *Sigh*", Charlotte had resumed her own leisure by looking at her magic book.
"Well, what about you, Ludgar? Are you satisfied of being young?", Hawkeye wanted the child's attention.
However, Ludgar is unable to hear him at the moment. He is currently looking elsewhere that his attention has recently been caught by it.
"Huh. It seems to me, no one likes talking for me, at the moment. Oh well, I guess I have to be quiet. (or not..)", Hawkeye was peeved of the two's current activities.
Ludgar eventually runs off and he sees something interesting for him. Hawkeye widens his eyes upon looking at the child - like beast has run off towards to other children.
Hawkeye attempts to follow Ludgar but Charlotte holds his arm*
"Oh no you don't, sassy boy. Let him play with those people, just to, at least, interact with them socially. He hasn't met any of those since we arrive from our quest, you know.", Charlotte informed Hawkeye about for Ludgar.
She prefers leaving the children and proceed to walk away while reading her magic book upon willing to learn something new. Hawkeye has no other choice but to walk with her, though he feels worried about their friend being left alone with strangers.
Charlotte looks at the children playing and faces Hawkeye.*
"Come on, Hawkeye. At least, have some decency of letting the child to have some quality time with its fellow youngster. In other words, for fun.", Charlotte insisted Hawkeye.
"As you wish, Charlotte. Perhaps we shall find Kevin, instead. I'm in need of talking with people.", Hawkeye begged his friend.
Even though the elf is quite annoyed of his awkward tone, she lets it slip. She finally accepts the human's plead with regards to his preference to do something.
"*Sigh* You win, Hawkeye. Let us find Kevin. Just don't talk in that tone you recently use.", she accepted her friend's request.
He smiles as he has finally gotten what he wants to do. He carry the elf's other bags, which are seemingly heavy to the elf, so he can, at least, treat his friend in exchange of her acceptance.
Hawkeye taking the other bags of Charlotte*
"Really, Hawkeye? Are you sure about carrying my stuff? They are heavy you know.", she warned her friend that it could not end well for her friend.
"Don't fret. I got this! *Lifts the bag* It's really heavy!", Hawkeye realized that her stuff was suprisingly heavy.
"Told you so, my friend. Just let me carry myself with my magic.", Charlotte started to cast the spell.
Charlotte levitates the bag around her and she is moving on.*
"Now, hurry up if you wanna hang out with Kevin (that is if he still in the castle.)", she called the human.
Hawkeye quickly runs after Charlotte before they finally leave out from the park. Though Hawkeye is still worried about Ludgar, Charlotte reminds him that the child already knows what he is going to do after he has done playing with its fellow children.
Charlotte and Hawkeye leaves the park*
Changing the scene where Charlotte and Hawkeye walking towards their destination*
While they are having a significant along the streets within the town, they see people doing their usual lives routinely. From there, they see some werebeast people doing mechanical works for others. Others are doing cuisine activities. Others are assisting their fellow werebeasts through guidance on how they can control their behaviour and others, that they are treating those injured people with proper care.
Charlotte and Hawkeye facing each other while walking*
"Ah. It's so amusing to look at those people, being happy in what do they do. Man, I'm a bit jealous in there. Do you hear, Charlotte?", Hawkeye smiled right in front of the elf after he remarked the people of Ferolia.
Charlotte has brieftly gone silent upon hearing those positive remarks from the human. She almost closes her eyes as she can feel her fellow elves doing the same thing as the werebeast.
"Yes... I can hear, Hawkeye. I see them very happy like my hometown. I do admit that I miss my home.", Charlotte was slightly lonely as she was away from her own residence for some time.
"Cheer up, Charlotte! Just think this place as your new home. I also admit that I want some changes here. It's kinda dull the longer we are here... but hey, at least they are good people despite their behaviour for a reason.", Hawkeye wanted to comfort Charlotte.
She glads that at least someone tries to make her encouraged for herself. She secretly casts a spell for the human about something that might benefit for her friend. However, it is not the time for her to reveal it as it is too irrelevant to say it instantly.
Charlotte lits up secretly and casts onto Hawkeye's body*
"(There you go. I grant you the ability to do the thing as a thief. *Giggles*)", she smiled at him.
Though Hawkeye is slightly terrified of her suspicious smile, he smiles back at her for a reason. Few moments later, they are finally arrived at the castle, right in front of the gate of it. The guards quickly notice the two that they are certainly companions of Kevin.
"Open the gates, fellas! We have our allies coming in to the castle.", the guard commanded with its fellow to follow.
Gates have been opened for the two*
The two enter with uttermost respect and they are finally arrive in front of the main door.*
The door gradually opens upon recognizing the two and they subsequently pass through the hallway. Charlotte has opened up her book while Hawkeye looks at the scenic surrounding while they are approaching towards their friend's room. They can see the servants doing their assigned tasks in order to maintain the stability of the castle. Yet, the servants wave at their arrival.
Servants pause their task and look at the two*
"Good day, Ms. Charlotte and Mr. Haweye."
"Welcome to our glorious stronghold of our town!"
"Hello there, young ones! Kevin is going to be happy by the time they see you."
"Greetings. If you want to look for Kevin, go to the throne room where he is called by our beloved king, King Gauser."
Upon hearing the latter statement from one of the servants, Hawkeye insists Charlotte that they must go to the throne room. However, Charlotte is unable to hear her friend's voice due to her spell that it forces her to read steadily. Additionally, the spell mitigates anything that might intervene her reading.
Hawkeye keeps chatting the elf but she continuously walk towards to Kevin's room.*
"*Sigh* I guess I'm going to drag her to the throne myself. She can't hear me because of her spell...", he grabbed the elf's arm.
Charlotte suddenly shocks herself upon being pulled by her friend. Hence, the spell wears off simultaneously.
"Hey, Hawkeye! I was just trying to read in here! Why did you drag me?", she was annoyed about the sudden intention of her human friend.
He convinces her about their friend's current location that he is not currently in his room. He further tells her that he has been called by the king to inform something necessary to him with regards to the current status of the kingdom.
"Oh... I get it. I'm really sorry about that. Now let's go to the throne.", she closed her book.
The two have finally change their direction to the opposite, in order to go to the room where their friend is currently standing. Eventually, the servants guide them through pinpoint of where they must go.
The two looks at the servants' direction by their fingers point to the correct location."
"This way, Kevin's friend."
"Go that way."
"Just walk straight and you'll find the throne room."
The two hasten their movement.*
After few moments later*
The two have finally arrived at the room. From there, they see Kevin who is vowing right in front of the king as a respect. They quickly run towards the Kevin and subsequently vow to the majesty, just like the former. Anyhow, the beast king is currently dismayed at the two because he only wishes to call a specific person (read: Kevin), just to inform something vital.
"Grrrrr... Kevin. Tell you friends to leave this throne briefly. This meeting is for only the two us and it is considered as restricted.", the king ordered Kevin immediately.
Kevin turns his head*
"My apologies, my friends. As the king says, leave the throne and go to my room if you have something to say. Dad and I will have a meeting, right now. I don't know what will be all about." Kevin politely convinced the two to leave at once.
The two are now leaving from the throne room*
Additionally, the beast king has also wanted the servants to leave the throne, as well. Thus, he orders them to do so and close the door tightly, so no one can hear them about their restricted conversation.
Servants stop their routinely tasks and vow to the king*
"As you wish, my king.", the servants were now leaving the room and one of them had closed the door.
Closing door sounds*
King Gauser stands up from his throne upon going down to his son, Kevin. From there, he tells Kevin to sit himself down onto the round table as he is also going to sit to the other side of him. The pantries, which are laid on the table, are already prepared, in case their conversation is going to be long enough, if any.
Two sitting down*
Dialogue*
Gauser: *Sigh* I have to say this, prince of Ferolia, or should I say, my son.
Kevin: Just call whatever you want, dad. I'm listening.
Gauser: *Growls and stops after* I have to inform you that the time has come for you to act yourself like an honorable king.
Kevin: Huh? Me as a king?
Gauser: *Grins* You heard that. You are eligible to be the king of this kingdom.
Kevin: How come I am eligible to be a king like you? I have so much to do as a prince.
Gauser: Hmph. Try to be more mature, Kevin. You aren't a child, anymore. You've grown up.
Kevin: *Sigh* Why do I have to be the one who will rule of this kingdom?
Gauser: You are still naive, aren't you? Because you are the one that has the most qualified among the people I've ever had. I don't want to dictate about the details with regards to the qualification. Additionally, your age is suitable enough for you to become one as a ruler of this kingdom.
Kevin: But what about you?
Gauser: Never mind about for me for that, my son. My body is already weakening now that I need someone strong, brave and assertive enough to rule on my stead. *Growl* Now, did you get what I have pointed out?
Kevin: I...I... I don't know what to say...
Gauser: (Heh. It looks like my son is finally realizing his destiny.) *Grins* Fine. I"ll give you more time for you to answer it out.
Kevin: ...
Gauser: Well then, Approach me when you have made your mind. Never come near me when you have not decided your next duty. Is that clear?
Kevin: *Sadly noises* Yes, my king... I... I mean my father.
Gauser: *Growl* Now, get going and do what you must at your own pace.
Kevin: *Closes eyes and stands up* I understand, your highness. I, thank you, for giving me some spare time of deciding myself to become the new ruler of this kingdom. *Kevin now leaving the throne by walking to the main door*
Kevin finally leaves the throne*
Gauser: *Grunts* (I hope you make up your mind, my son. I don't want you to be pressured by this new duty for you.)
King Gauser climbs and sits back to his throne*
MY SERVANTS!! RESUME YOUR DUTIES!!
Servants going back to the throne room*
Dialogue ended*
Changing the scene to Kevin*
Meanwhile, the young prince is worried that he isn't qualified himself for his promotion to become the new king of Ferolia. There, he slowly walks back to his room where his friends are already waiting for him for some brief discussion.
Kevin walking down the halls*
"*Sighs* (Am I really worthy of being proclaimed as a king? *Grunts himself* I can't even act myself like a prince.)", he was being doubtful the longer he was thinking of it.
Kevin now in front of his own room*
As soon as Kevin is about to enter his room, his friends are waiting for him to come over. From there, he has sat himself along with his friends on his bed. Charlotte has made a tea for the young prince while Hawkeye closes the door upon wanting to know their conversation with his father.
"So, what's your father discussion into you?", Hawkeye leaned himself on the wall while waiting for Kevin's response.
However, Kevin is being silent upon being asked by his chatty friend. He lays down on his bed as he is currently not in the mood. For sure, he doesn't want to bring up with that topic. Charlotte notices the young prince being dubious at something.
"Uhm... Kevin. Are you alright? What did King Gauser say to you?", the elf wondered about the young prince's thoughts.
Charlotte has kept poking him in order to make Kevin speak it out. Meanwhile, Hawkeye is up to something childish that might work for Kevin.
Hawkeye throws some papers onto the Kevin's head*
Anyhow, Kevin keeps his cool head as his way of thinking is much more convincing for him than just childish plays. In other words, the discussion seems to be effective for the young prince that it affects his own fate.
Hawkeye continuously throwing at Kevin. Kevin is getting annoyed of Hawkeye.*
"*Growl* Will you knock it off already, Hawkeye?!! I'm having problems about me as a king!", Kevin was irritated that he finally spoke it out on what was his head.
The two are shocked upon hearing such unusual topics coming out from Kevin's words. Hawkeye quickly approaches to him and cleans all the messes he has made. Meanwhile, Charlotte has gone silent just like Kevin and she closes her book, just to conceal the content of her spells.
"Okay... you two are freaking me out. Is that the first time you hear from me about that?", Kevin was sligthly frightened at his friends.
"I hate to admit but... yes, Kevin. I'm surprised that you are getting appointed as a king now. Shall I call you majesty? Haah?", Hawkeye was trying to annoy Kevin.
On the other hand, Charlotte praises the young prince for the promotion, he has been bestowed by his father. She asks him if there is something else about their discussion.
"None else, Charlotte. Just about me being king.", Kevin responded.
Hawkeye suggests if they can have a walk for the rest of the day, in order to minimize the stress for the young prince. Additionally, he encourages him to forget what his father has said to him, just for now.
"*Chuckles* Now you're talking, Hawkeye. *Stands up from his bed, goes out from the room* Come on. Let's get going.", Kevin faded his doubtful thought upon telling the two to go out with him.
Hawkeye and Charlotte have followed the young prince and go out*
Kevin tells his servants to lock his room upon informing them about his next activity for today. One of the servants has quickly come forward, right in front of Kevin, to respond the young prince's command.
Servant vows*
"As you wish, Prince Kevin. May the gods give you a wonderful day.", he has gone to obtain a key in order to tightly lock the young prince's room.
Furthermore, the young prince convinces them that he might not stay in the castle to rest himself for the night. It is better for him to relieve his mind, just to finally decide whether he is able to settle himself on what his father has told him to do.
"Certainly, Prince Kevin. We are going to fix your things in your room first before we tightly lock your room. If you do have any concerns with regards to it, please inform us, your highness.", the servant concluded the conversation.
Kevin and his friends go outside the castle*
And so, Kevin and his friends have wonderful times of doing their activities of hanging themselves out from the town in order to minimize the stress that Kevin suffers. They are roaming around the town, just to be entertained by the people. Most of the people are doing great by the time Kevin has shown himself right in front of them.
Kevin chuckles while the two doing their usual hobbies.*
"Hahaha. That was amusing!", Kevin almost forgot his doubts as he saw people smiling him while they were amusing him.
On the other hand, the two briefly pause their hobby, just to see their honoroble friend being happy. Charlotte smiles while Hawkeye is impressed on Kevin's positive mood. The young prince wants to see more people and enjoys them for the rest of the afternoon.
"Come on, guys! I don't want to miss out all the fun here!", he insisited the two to join with him.
Charlotte and Hawkeye follow*
The three enjoy the leisure with no time is wasted.*
Sunset*
The two are now exhausted but they have recently had some fun spending their time with the young prince. On the other hand, Kevin decides to go out of the town in order to take a look at the sky filled with stars, now shining entirely while the sun has fallen down for the whole night.
"Are you sure about that, Kevin? Those monster might go hunting on that time.", Charlotte worried about the young prince.
"Yeah. Even though you are strong enough to beat those bad guys, I am not recommending you to go out alone tonight.", Hawkeye enhanced his friend's statement.
Kevin closes his eyes as he is currently deciding whether he follows his friends' advics or he follows his own desire.
"*Sigh* Alright. I'm not going to sleep in the grass tonight and... I'm still not going back to the town. You do know that I have a treehouse nearby town, don't ya?", Kevin admitted he didn't want to recall about the discussion.
Hawkeye stares at Kevin for not knowing about the treehouse while Charlotte realizes that the young prince has preference towards nature. The two tells him to take them to his resthouse.
"Of course! Come on, we have no time to waste.", Kevin quickly agreed and lead the two to elsewhere.
The three approaching to the treehouse*
Upon arrival, the two are astonished upon realizing that the structure has a remarkable design. Kevin, on the other hand, guides them into his resthouse.
"Come, my friends! We are going to have some fun tonight!", Kevin was excited about seeing the two amazed at his treehouse.
By the time the three has entered the structure, they see those materials untouched from any dusts and dirts that are supposed to cover it. Kevin tells them that he frequently cleans them, just to relieve himself from exhaustful training and complexive discussion with his own father.
"Oh... So this is your secret place... Nice!", Hawkeye positively remarked about the structure.
Charlotte examines all the materials, just to know how Kevin furnishes his things in that structure. The young prince wonders if Charlotte definitely wants his things, in the treehouse, to be given to her.
"*Giggling* No, Kevin. I'm just doing my usual curiosity here.", Charlotte admitted to him.
The three have stayed there as the sky is getting darker. From there, they have small conversations with regards of their recent activity. The two convince Kevin that they are going back to the town as they are more comfortable of resting themselves in that place.
"As for me, I decide to sleep in here so I can think and relax myself.", Kevin told them as he was preparing his things.
Hawkeye has understood of his decision of not coming with them. However, Charlotte might worry about the young prince's safety because the treehouse has an abysmal security that it can be invaded by anyone who wishes to do so.
"The treehouse is magically secured, Charlotte. I learned some of your spells back when we were starting our journey of the trials. Now, I can barely remember how I did that. *Chuckles*", Kevin was being confident.
"Well look at the time, we should probably go back to the town.", Charlotte realized that the sky was now dim enough that the fields outside the treehouse could barely see its appearance.
"Well, I guess we should come back tomorrow. Kevin, I hope you feel safe in here. I am assured enough that you are comfortable staying in here.", Hawkeye told the young prince and opened the door so he and the elf would go out in the gloomy fields.
Before they go out, Charlotte casts a light spell that can help them see what is currently outside. Kevin warns that there are plenty of monsters out there in the night. He informs them to proceed in caution upon going out from his treehouse. The magic field, which Kevin has already discussed to them, only works within the young prince's territory.
"Thanks for the warning, Kevin. See ya tomorrow. *Waving*", Hawkeye initially went out from the treehouse.
"Take care, prince Kevin. I hope you have peaceful night.", Charlotte waved farewell at the young prince.
The young prince closes the door and locks it with the key. Then, he has hidden somewhere not far from the door. Next, he reduces all the lights in order ro conceal the structures from those monsters hunting outside. Afterwards, he cleans up the messes he has made before fixing his bed. Finally, he lays down the bed, thinking about the outcome when it is his time to become the new king of Ferolia, succeeding his own father. Kevin watches the shooting stars in the sky. He briefly closes his eyes, wishing something for the future.
"*Sigh* If only I can be as good as my father, I am willing to give my whole life for the kingdom. I am obliged myself to save my people from any threats that are aiming for destruction. I will do whatever it takes to make people happy, even though at the cost of my freedom to be an independent being.", Kevin accepted his fate of becoming the new king and he had finally fallen himself into slumber.
Later that night, the sky is getting gloomy upon covering the view where the shooting stars fall. A lightning flashes nearby his treehouse. The thunder roars as it deafens anyone who has heard its trembling sound. The monsters, which are supposed to hunt any living creatures they can find, have paused their activities because of the violent storm. The storm clouds pass by the young prince treehouse as the storm rain briefly occurs within the fields.
One monster gnarling to fellow monsters*
They go back to where they have come from.*
Changing the scene to the king's room.*
Meanwhile, the beast king has sensed something peculiar. He can see the sky being gloomy.
"*Growl* I sense danger above. I must act quickly. *Jumps out from the window*", the beast king quickly acted.
He notices that the storm clouds have strangely come right at the top of his kingdom. He sees the sky, beyond the border of his kingdom, clear. He wonders why the storm clouds aren't passing by. The storm clouds are supposed to move progressively so they can pour down its raindrops all over the land.
"*Growl* I have no choice but to call reinforcements. *Howl*", the beast king called all the guards from the castle to do action.
The guards act quickly enough upon hearing the tremendous howl of the beast king. Even Charlotte and Hawkeye have responded to its call, the two have come in front of the king in order to know the current problem.
"My apologies, my king. What's the problem?", Hawkeye asked him about the current situation.
On the other hand, Charlotte looks up to the gloomy sky as she can sense something strange is going on within the kingdom. She raises her rod upon she is going to emit the light from her weapon.
"See for yourself, Hawkeye. The sky is getting darker and darker. I can sense danger to this kingdom. We must clear the storm clouds before the--", the king suddenly stopped his conversation.
Red lightning being released from the clouds*
A lightning has flashed out from the clouds and it is about to hit the king. Luckily, the beast king has countered the elemental attack by dodging vigorously. Charlotte approaches to him in order to check whether he is injured.
"Don't. I'm fine, elf mage. Just go back to the guards. *Growl* *Looks up to the gloomy*", the beast king was planning something.
Another lightning has flashed out. This time, it strikes the guards within the specific area. The guards have received significant pain upon taking the shocking hit from the source. Subsequently, the affected guards have strangely begun shrinking. The other guards notice that the lightning has a unique effect. It is too uncommon for the source to have that kind of ability. Suddenly, another lightning has aimed directly at another group of guards. In response to the situation, the guards have quickly scattered as the lightning has missed the attack against them. One of the guard captains approaches directly to the beast king.
"We have to go back to the castle, your highness. The lightning has other effects that some of us don't know of it. We don't know how to fight it.", the guard captain recommended the king to fall back as they didn't know who was causing such threat.
Even though the king is dismayed at the captain, he has accepted the recommendation. Thus, the king orders all the guards, including Charlotte and Hawkeye, to evacuate themselves back to the castle.
All of units go inside the castle*
The beast king convinces Charlotte to announce the rest of the kingdom to forbid them from going out as it is deemed dangerous to confront the clouds without proper description of the unknown enemy.
"Of course, your Highness.", the elf mage was now casting to inform all the townspeople to stay in their respective homes.
Charlotte is using the sound spell and alarms all people.*
Most of the villagers have waken up upon hearing the voice of the elf, informing them about the situation. Then, they close their doors and windows of their respective homes so the lightning may not reach its flash onto them. The beast king senses that the clouds have stopped attacking the kingdom, upon all people have been informed to be alertive.
"Haha. I guess we beat those clouds. Anyway, what about the shrunked hands. I pick them up while running back to the castle.", Hawkeye confidentially relieved from the danger.
"*Growl* *Sniffs* No... There is something wrong with those clouds...", the beast king was sensing another unexpected surprise from those dark clouds.
Suddenly, a huge lightning has massively flashed down the entire kingdom. All people have been shocked upon receiving such damage, but not severe. They can feel that their bodies are getting shrunk as the lightning has kept zapping them. Even the structures are also shrinking to microscopic size.
The kingdom shrinking to microscopic size*
Now that the kingdom is vulnerable, the clouds are charging itself to finish off the place with its powerful strike. The cloud harvest all energies around in order to charge up its powerful lightning to disintegrate the kingdom for good.
Changing the scene to the throne room*
All people are nothing to do but to watch their inevitable demise as they have no chance to mitigate such attack due to the size. They are losing hope as the time is getting narrower to make a plan. Meanwhile, the elf approaches to the beast king whether he has another plan up onto his sleeve.
"What are we going to do, my king? The kingdom is too small to call for help with the other nations.", Charlotte waited for the king's response.
The king has gone silent. He is thinking if there is another way of saving themselves from their demise.
"Charlotte, may I ask if you can force our castle to be able to move to another place?", the king answered after a moment he realized something.
"To be honest, I can move the castle. However, the problem is that we need to find a better place to land the kingdom down safely. I don't know where to move somewhere because it's currently too dark to see outside. It's still night time. Additionally, there is side effect once we move our kingdom.", Charlotte confirmed and warned the king about the consequences.
"What is the side effect, elf? *Growl* Tell me now!", the king was now losing its patience of the elf's slow reasoning.
"Our kingdom might merge into that place. Thus, we don't know if our castle is able to retain its structure and consider also the houses in the town.", the elf responded quickly so she didn't want to get scolded.
The king has decided that it doesn't matter about the outcome, just to save all of the people from danger. The elf is hoping for the kingdom to be able to adapt its new environmont upon casting her spell.
Charlotte is now starting the incantation*
"Everyone should go back to their own rooms. This spell is too great for us to observe the new environment upon placing. It will cast us asleep upon its completion.", Charlotte informed everyone in the kingdom that they should prepare themselves for the upcoming slumber.
The king orders all of the servants and guards to obey the elf's suggestion. Additionally, he stays with the elf and the thief on the throne in order to know whether the spell works or not.
"*Charlotte chanting* Alright, Everyone! Don't let bed bugs bite! Good night!", Charlotte completed the ritual.
All begin to fall on their knees as they can themselves sleepy. From each and every cirner of the streets, the villagers are forced to close their eyes upon the spell casts on them. Even the three, who have stayed in the throne, collapse as they are getting ready for their new environment waiting to be placed by the kingdom.
Changing the scene to the clouds*
Before the clouds are going to strike its fatal blow, the kingdom has quickly moved out from the perilous area, where it supposed to be hit by the lightning. A microscopic brimming light has flown towards to its preferred location.
Clouds release its massive lightning*
Lightning sounds*
The clouds mercilessly use all its strength, just to perish the entire kingdom for good. Not even the ground, which formerly has been established by the tribes of Ferolia, can withstand its horrific power. It seems those darkish clouds must have issues on that kingdom.
Clouds now stopping*
After a brief moment, the clouds are fading as its job has recently done. There is nothing left on the ground but a huge crater has recently formed in it. The kingdom of Ferolia is no longer exist in the current world map.
Changing the scene to other nearby towns*
From another town, some villagers have witnessed the destruction of the kingdom being perished by those mysterious darkish clouds. The observers realize that they have lost their neighbors that helps them progress its current status. All of them seeing now is only the smoke which has been the effect of the lightning zapping. Most of them shed their tears upon mourning the loss of their allies while others are going to pray for their safety in case the clouds have intention to hit their place with its elemental attack.
"*Sobs* Thank you, Ferolias... You are now in a better place. I hope you are happy somewhere in there. Let alone not to be disturbed by means of catastrophic events.", a woman commended the kingdom's contributions.
Changing the scene to the microscopic kingdom*
The kingdom is now going somewhere not too far from its original land. From there, its light has entered to the young prince's treehouse through the window.
Changing the scene to Kevin's room*
The young prince has fallen asleep as he is completely comfortable of taking a break from the kingdom. The room has heard of his snores being too loud upon Kevin is resting deeply.
"*Snoring* Must save... the kingdom... *Snoring*", he had a dream about his future fate.
The beam quickly finds safer place to established and it looks in front of Kevin's face snoring*
Changing the scene to Kevin maw from the inside and Kevin keeps snoring*
Eventually, the beam has entered to his mouth with no hesistation. The young prince's body subsequently closes his mouth upon letting the kingdom enter into his body.
Changing the scene to Kevin floating*
Kevin's body glows and transforms into his wolf form*
Kevin's body resumes sleeping and continues to snore*
Off screen*
The next day*
The young prince is starting to wake up.*
"*Changing the scene to Kevin's maw from the inside*
"*Yawn* Ah. What a wonderful sleep I have last night?", Kevin was glad that he woke up peacefully.
Changing the scene to Kevin's silhoutte*
The young prince has stood up from his bed. He eats his daily meal on the table. He opens the door which leads him to the bathroom. He stands still in front of a mirror. He grooms his head upon realizing something.
Kevin widens his eyes*
"*Gasps* What the -- How did I transform myself into werewolf worm?!", the young prince was shocked of his current appearance.
He tries to go back to his human form. However, he has failed to do so. He wipes his eyes thinking that he is still drowsy.
"No... no... How can this be?!!! *Howls*", the young prince had no choice but to howl himself within the treehouse.
He can't believe that his body has been transformed into his beast form that is supposed to use it for either combat or defense. Once again, he tries to go back to his original form.
Kevin uses his usual method to go back to normal but it always ends up failing*
"*Panting* I still can't go back to be human.", the young prince had exhausted himself.
"I need to go back to the kingdom. Maybe my dad will find a way for me to go back to my human form.", the young prince decided to come out from his treehouse.
He goes downstairs and packs things up before leaving his resthouse. He has forgotten to close the door but the winds, which have been formed by his incredible speed, do that for him instead.
Door closing sounds*
Changing the scene to Kevin*
He grabs the durable vine upon being confident enough to use it. Instead of climbing himself down from the tree, the young prince has a better idea. He swings it, just to have fun for himself in the morning.
Kevin swinging the vine*
"*Howling* This is fun! *Howling*", the young prince made feral noises upon enjoying himself.
Kevin continues to howl*
Zooming into Kevin's mouth and changing the scene to his maw from the inside with his uvula swinging joyfully then goes down to his throat*
Inside Kevin's body*
The townspeople of Ferolia have finally awaken from their slumber due to the howling of the young prince. They wonder about the current environment as they can feel its warm air fuming throughout the myseterious environment.
"Uhh... Where are we?"
"*Sniffs* I can smell flesh in here. What is this place?"
"These grounds are too soft and squishy. Are we in a weird cave or something?"
"*Pressing the soft wall* Ugh... What are these liquids coming out from the walls?"
"I hear strange voices in here, aside from us. That howl is somehow familiar."
"Why is this environment are almost red? What's going on?"
The people do not know where they have been transported to. Though, they already know about the spell which Charlotte has casted it to all of people, within the kingdom, for their survival and their safety. They also wonder why their respective homes have been turned into something organic and warm. Some people examine their new profound home. Some people worry that their homes are gone. But there is only one question that they are agreeing with, the whereabouts of the castle.
One townpeople looks up see something beating*
"That's strange. I see something beating up there like a heart. Hmmm...", one of the townspeople informed the people about the beating thing.
They look further and they have realized that there are some "vines" attached to the "beating" thing, being hanged out above them. From there, they can hear the beat as if it exactly sounds like a heart. The people are now worried if they are inside someone else's body.
"Mom, I'm scared. I think we have been eaten by a huge monster.", a child thought the situation.
Though, his mother comforts him and she has decided to go inside of thier new oddly home.
"Come, my child. Mommy's got you.", his mother carried back to safety.
Mom and child closes the door upon entering the organic home.*
Meanwhile, the people has nothing to do but to stand still and gaze above. Most of them are wondering if the castle has been merged to the "beating" thing. Though, the rest of them have gone back to their work and try to adapt their new environment.
"I hope the king's alright. I'm sure he is planning to get us out of here. Honestly, I don't want to live in this place. There are too many unusual liquids coming out from these walls, akin to body substances.", one villager admitted her disgust towards the new place for them.
Changing the scene to Kevin's heart beating progressively and zooming into it slowly*
Unaware for the people of Ferolia, the "beating thing" is actually the heart of the young prince. The heart is vital to the body which it is responsible for circulation. It is generally agree that the mentioned organ is composed of purely cardiac muscles. However, the young prince's heart is utterly unusual after the merge. Some parts of his heart have the same design as the castle where the monarch and its successor reside. Additionally, the heart is unusually durable now that it may act itself as a structure.
Zooming further into Kevin's heart*
Inside Kevin's heart (Castle of Ferolia)*
In the throne room, the king notices that the environment has dramatically changed upon the kingdom merges. He sees the room filled up by the arteries and veins which the bloods are coursing through those roots. Additionally, he, including the other two, can feel the merged castle beating in rhythm.
"Guys, I think we are inside of someone's body. I can see those bloods flowing in the walls from what are we currently stand.", Hawkeye couldn't believe about the outcome.
However, the king smirks as he never expects to happen to his kingdom. Instead of scolding the one who has casted the magic, the king has minded elsewhere.
"Great job, elf. Even though we are someone else's innards, the magic works. *Growls* And the kingdom is, at least, survived from those clouds.", the king commended the elf's work.
"Thank you, your Highness. Though, I am atoning my clumnsiness that the magic has lead the kingdom into something strange.", Charlotte apologized the king about the unexpected outcome.
"*Growl* Worry not, elf. Let us check those people on the window.", the king wanted to see how people reacted.
The three walk onto the nearest window. From their perspective, they see some windows moving vigorously because of the heartbeat. Though, the king has amused of its adapted kingdom being alive.
Three now at the window*
The three see the people being shocked of hoq they all end up into something unusual place. The king thinks that the townspeople are quite unhappy about the situation. He stands on the window in order to be noticed by them.
"Listen up, my people!", the king shouted so as the heart was beating slightly faster.
Changing the scene to the town*
The townspeople have briefly stopped their usual activities upon hearing the voice of their king. They look up as they have witnessed that the thing above them is actually the castle. The doubts from the mind of each people have certainly fading. From their perspective, the thing is somehow synchronizing its beat (read: heartbeat, though people are currently unaware of it) as the majesty has words to say about the state of the kingdom.
"If any of you is terrified of what our kingdom has merged with, then worry not. We are currently inside of a being who is yet to be identified. You see those strange things around, right? *Snorting* Those are actually the organs of the host we currently live. My people, do not harm those harmless organs because we need this host to be safe and sound in order to sustain our beloved kingdom longer, even though it might sound awkward. I want you all, my fellow people, to adapt with this new environment and make sure our host is free from anything that can harm its anatomy. I am glad if you are willing to explore new areas within the host's body. Furthermore, I am ordering Charlotte and Hawkeye to know the identity of the host by climbing themselves out from it. For now, we must value our time here, just to hide ourselves from unidentified enemy.", the king settled down the people of Ferolia.
The people have relieved from being dubuious. Most of them have go back to their organic respective homes.
One villager raises her hand*
"I would like to volunteer myself to find useful resources in here from our host.", a villager was willing to do for the kingdom.
Change the scene to Kevin's heart*
The king hears the generosity of a villager. He sends the two to go down from the host's (read: Kevin, not yet known to them) heart. Charlotte packs her things up while Hawkeye prepares his weapon in case of any unwanted events that might occur.
"I'm ready, my king.", Charlotte vowed to the king.
"Same as her, my lord.", Hawkeye had also vowed down.
"*Grins* Very good, my subjects. *Growls* Now, I want you to find the gastic chamber of our host, or what we have called stomach, and lead the volunteer in there. You can leave her there once arrived to the destination. I am going to follow you by the time you have found the location of the host's stomach. Afterwards, you must climb through its throat, reach its maw and go out of our host, in order to know the identity. If the maw is deemed perilous because of some unexpected situations, climb up to its nasal cavity and take a view outside through its nostrils. Is that clear?", the king specified the instructions given by him.
The two nods with respect
"Altright. Now go, my subjects. *Snorting* Time is off the essence!", the king was deploying them to proceed the mission.
Hawkeye holds Charlotte's right arm and leaps out from the heart of the kingdom, including Charlotte. The elf is slightly terrified as they don't know how high they have jumped.
Two jumping out from the beating castle(heart)*
"Just trust me, Charlotte. We are not gonna hurt ourselves. We are inside of someone else's body, remember?", the thief was careless but he had some point about the environment.
He grabs Charlotte with his two arms so he can be the one who is about hit the ground himself.
Hawkeye ground pounding on the muscular floor*
The floor being stomped hard*
Upon landing , the thief lets go Charlotte from his arms safely. The elf stands up and points at the villager who is willing to volunteer. Hawkeye waves at the volunteer to come with them. He convinces the villager to stay in the hatch (read: Kevin's stomach) and wait for the king to do orders for her.
"Alright. I am welcome to accompany with you. I am also happy that the king is ordering me to stay inside the host's stomach", the villager was now running with Hawkeye and Charlotte.
Eventually, they see a passage that leads elsewhere within the host's (Kevin's) innards.
The three running to the passage*
"I hope this leads us to the stomach", Hawkeye wanted to complete the mission.
"It's most like, Hawkeye. I already know that we are currently inside the abs of this being. I'm sure the stomach is just nearby.", Charlotte was confident.
The three enter it*
Concealing the innards of Kevincand zooming from the belly of the young prince*
Changing the scene to Kevin*
Outsidr Kevin's body*
The young prince has enjoyed swinging down from his treehouse. He lands somewhere in the field, not far from his resthouse.
Kevin lands from the swing safely*
"Phew! That was a blast! *Kevin's eyes* Mmmmffff... Ouch!! *Places his feral hand onto his chest* Ugh... That hurts! *Pats* Uhh... I think I ate hard foods for breakfast. Nnngghhh... and I can feel my heartbeat has a mind on its own. *Sigh* I need to go back to the kingdom. My body is already feeling awkwatrd.", Kevin continued to walk even though his body was reacted from the inside.
Kevin proceeds*
Sometime later, the young prince has finally arrived. However, he is suddenly shocked upon seeing the kingdom vanished without a trace. All things are mysteriously disappear. The people, the structures, his family and his friends, leave no tracks whatsoever by the time Kevin has stood in front of supposed gates towards the kingdom.
"*Gasps* How can this be?! Where are my friends and people? What happened here?", the young prince did not know what was happened last night.
Suddenly, a mysterious group of monster has ambushed at the young prince. Unbeknownst to them, the prince quickly dodges the ambush attack upon he is able to hear things from afar.
A large monster leaps and is about to attack*
Kevin jumps out from the affected area*
"*Gnarl* How dare you evade my attack? *Growl*", the monster was annoyed of how cunning Kevin was.
The young prince says no word as it is not the time for him to battle with such monster. He begins to counterattack by blinking himself onto the back of the large monster.
Kevin swipes the monster on its back*
"*Monster bellows* Why you --?! *Roaring* *Swings its axe to hit Kevin from its back*", the monster retaliated the attack from the cunning young prince.
Kevin's eyes turn blind as he isn't going to listen to what the large monster says to him. He uses his most cunning attacks in order to make the large monster give up on his reckless ambush.
Kevin roars*
Blink and jumps to the top of the large monster*
Kevin swipes the large monster on its head*
Slash sounds*
"*Bellows* You pesky little prince! How dare you doing little tricks on me!", the large monster had enough of the prince's annoyance.
He calls its brethren to reinforce him and they have surrounded the young prince as it is nighly impossible for Kevin to escape from the grasps of a group of monsters.
"*Speaks in deeper werewolf voice* You... are... IN MY WAY!!! GET OUT... OF MY SIGHT!! *Growls*", the young prince was about to release his special move.
Suddenly, one of the monsters sneakily attacks the prince with its magic attack. The magic attack directly hit the prince and the prince has suddenly stopped doing his special move.
"*Speaks in deeper werewolf Cheat move... *Panting* You are too desperate enough... *Panting* ...to defeat me... *Panting*", the young prince was seriously hurt from that attack.
The monsters laugh at him for being brave enough to wipe them out. They tell him about the place is now a homeland to them.
"What... did you... do to my... kingdom? *Panting*", the young prince interrogated them.
But, the monsters do not answer his question. Instead, they are about to finish him off as they considered him unworthy to live longer.
Large monster now in front of injured Kevin with his poleaxe l*
"Goodbye, Prince Kevin of Ferrolia. *Laughs maniacally* I'll take your head and put it to my collection.", the large monster was excited to perish the prince for good.
Kevin howls loudly*
Zooming into Kevin's mouth with his uvula intensely swinging and going down to his throat*
Inside Kevin's esophagus*
Charlotte and Hawkeye climbing themselves up on Kevin's esophagus*
"Phew! We made it through to his stomach. This host's stomach sure is warm.", Hawkeye remarked about the mentioned organ.
"Uhh... Those acids make me sick, actually. Though, those foods dipped into it really makes it fragrant.", Charlotte was negatively dislike the host's stomach.
The esophageal sphincter has closed upon the two pass through it. They continue climbing up the spongy throat. Suddenly, its muscles begin to move intensely as the host has something to shout it out. Airs vigorously come out somewhere from the host's throat. The thief wonders himself about it.
"*Gasps* (Oh no.) Hawkeye. Cover you ears now!", Charlotte warned her friend of a sudden event.
The thief follows that caution of the elf. The elf casts her magic to protect themselves from being blown away out from the host's body and finally, covers her ears.
Kevin howls loudly*
Two look above only to find out the air being expelled from the host's body*
"What was that?! That howl is incredibly strong!", the thief was honestly terrified.
"Come on, Hawkeye! We need to climb quickly! That howl begs for help!", the elf already figured it out.
Without hesitation, the two resume climbing themselves up from the host's pectoral region. Charlotte worries about the host being threatened as the creature is the only hope for the kingdom to survive.
Hawkeye sees something *
"Over here, Charlotte! There is something lumpy here.", the thief pointed at the part which hanged up to the ceiling.
"That must be the host's uvula. Nnggh.. *Climbing* I guess we are near to our host's mouth. Just keep climbing. Don't grab the uvula until I say so.", Charlotte was almost there right up to the host's (Kevin) maw.
On the other hand, Hawkeye already reaches the edge of the host's mouth. From his viewpoint, he can see the light that is coming through the maw of their host. However, it suddenly turns dark upon seeing an enemy in front of the host.
"*Gasps* Charlotte! Come quick! Our host is now getting ready to be perished by the enemy! We have to do something!", the thief was nervous upon making a plan on how to save their host.
"I...I can't Hawkeye! Our host is too big for my magic! There's no way I can help him right now! Quick! Use the rope and we should grab ourselves to his uvula", Charlotte admitted that she couldn't help the host.
She convinces him that her magic is impossible to cast on a large size being. Instead of helping, she convinces him to grab themselves to the uvula.
"Huh? Grabbing uvula? Well, Alright. *Digging his pack* I guess we have nothing to do but to watch ourselves.", he brought out a rope.
There, he swings the rope and grabs the uvula lightly. For sure, he doesn't want to make their merged host throw up. He stabilize the consistency of the rope, just to prevent the tool from accidentally going down to the host's stomach.
Hawkeye checking the durability of the rope*
"All clear. We should go up before this host might accidentally swallow us.", he climbed himself all the way to his uvula.
"Thank you. We can still see the outside thanks to its mouth remained open.", the elf followed the thief's purpose.
The two decide to watch the outcome about the threatening situation for the host. While doing so, Charlotte notices that the tongue, the jaws look familiar to her. She hints the thief if he can recall with those remarkable parts of its body.
"Hmmm... Now that you mention it. I do, Charlotte. I always thinking that there is one person missing throughout these events.", Hawkeye realized something familiar when he saw those aforementioned parts of the host's tongue.
For now, the two have no choice but to spectate the possible outcome for the host whether it can survived or perished.
Two swinging Kevin's uvula gently*
Zooming out from Kevin's mouth*
Outside Kevin's body*
Even with incredible howl of the young prince, he is still no match for a group of unusual monsters, claiming the land that is once his kingdom has established. The large monster is about to cleave the young prince in half for good.
"Goodbye, Weak Prince of Ferolia!!!", the monster was swinging the poleaxe.
Suddenly...
A mysterious weapon has intercepted the poleaxe*
The poleaxe has broken upon receiving the significant damage*
"What the -- my WEAPON!!!!! *Growl* Who dares to fight me?! SHOW YOURSELF!!", the monster went furious upon having his weapon had gone broken.
"Over here, pinhead monster!", a familiar voice taunted the monster.
Eventually, the monsters, including Kevin look far way, only to find a child who has thrown his weapon onto the monster. The child quickly approaches fast enough that he arrives in a blink of an eye.
Familiar child stands in front of the leader*
"So, you're trying to kill my friend, aren't you?", the child asked nicely.
Kevin realizes that the child is actually Ludgar. He is glad that his friend has responded for his aid. Meanwhile, the monster gnashes his teeth upon knowing that the child is the one who has thrown his weapon swiftly. Instead of being peeved because its weapon is now broken, the leader mocks the child for playing brave.
Unusual monster laughing at the child*
"Hmph. Perhaps I can make this easy for you. *Brings out another weapon* Now catch this! *Throws*", Ludgar threw out a smokescreen.
The fog gradually thickens as it spreads throughout the field where the monsters have occupied. There, the monsters have temporarily lose their sight as they cannot see themselves. On other hand, Kevin has also been affected by the smokescreen. Thus, all of them are now coughing as the smoke induces them of doing it.
Changing the scene to injured Kevin coughing*
"Grab my hand, Kevin! We are getting out here now! I have some news for you with regards to the kingdom!", Ludgar lended his hand onto the young prince.
Kevin swiftly grabs the hand and Ludgar transports themselves out of the smokescreen.
"Wait... *Panting* How... did you... learn... that... technique...? *Panting*", the injured prince wondered about Ludgar's newly-acquired skill.
"Save you breath for later, Kevin! I'll transport ourselves into somwwhere safe.", Ludgar casted a unique magic with his mana.
Kevin and Ludgar disappears*
Smokescreen has also cleared*
Monster are now relieving from cough*
"Blasted! They got away... *Growl*", a large monster was dismay upon realizing that they had escaped from their grasp.
Because of the situation, he orders his member to search for them. The members nod as they have accepted their new tasks. Additionally, the members are well-organized enough that they splitted themselves into subgroups.
"Move out!", the leader had deployed its member out.
"*Growl* I need to capture that prince. I must have their precious royal minion onto my hands... *Roaring*", the leader let his warcry out as he was determined to search for Prince Kevin of Ferolia.
Scene scrolling up to the sky. The sky goes dark and changing the scene to Kevin and Ludgar*
Somewhere in the forest*
The two have set up a camp in order to take shelter. They are currently resting as they discuss about something vital to their objectives. While discussing, Ludgar is trying to heal the injured prince from those exhaustions and those wounds inflicted by the monsters.
Ludgar wrapping Kevin's injured arm*
"...And there. That should do it!", the child was finished fixing the young prince.
"*Panting* Thank you... *Panting* I couldn't believe that the kingdom is all gone. *Panting* It's all my fault.", the prince blamed himself for not showing up on his kingdom.
"No, it's not your fault. I witness something unusual with regards to the kingdom. There are darkish clouds releasing its destructive charges, attacking the kingdom at one.", the child explained the sudden event happened.
"*Panting* What... there's a threat? *Panting*", Kevin asked the child more about it.
"From what I partially remember, I see those clouds finished the kingdom by using its full power. Thus, the kingdom is somehow vanished. Good thing, I was out last night. How about you? Where were you last night?", the child wondered his whereabouts during that unusual event.
The prince answers that he just rests himself onto his treehouse to give some space for himself and for his father. Additionally, his father convinces him that he is going to succeed him as the next ruler of the kingdom.
"Oh... I see. I guess you have some challenges that you need to surpass. Anyway, it looks like we are going to hide ourselves in this forest for now. I bet those monsters are looking for us.", Ludgar expected their enemies were going to pursue them.
"*Panting* But what about the kingdom? We need to find them. I know they must be out there somewhere. *Panting* I'm sure my dad isn't going to give up like that.", Kevin hoped for their safety.
"Yeah, I know. By the way, you shouldn't waste your breath talking to me. Take some rest for now. Tomorrow, we must find a way to find the kingdom back to its rightful place.", Ludgar encouraged the prince to lay himself down.
"Thank you... *Panting* *Sniffing* I'm sure I can smell them from here even though they are far away. I can already smell the scent of our friends, Charlotte and Hawkeye. I also miss Karl already.", Kevin widened his nostrils upon sensing they were still alive.
"*Chuckling* Oh, Kevin. I know you're in your beast form. Will you still be able to go back?", the child recommended him to go back.
Unfortunately, the young prince tells the child that he is unable to transform himself back as there is something with his ability at the moment.
"Hmmm... Strange... I guess the Mana must have limit your capability. Heh. Even though, the mana is now gone for good.", the child remakrled about the prince's inability to transform.
"I know... *Panting* I guess I'm sticking this form for now... *Panting* *Sniffing* Ah. I still smell them.", the prince was getting tired of the conversation.
"*Chuckles* Just don't push yourself or you might inhale me into your nose.", Ludgar was putting out the fire as he wanted to go sleep himself.
"*Sigh* We have a long way to go to know the answers behind the kingdom being "vanished" by those clouds. With all means by that, Good night, young prince... zzzz...", Ludgar was the first person who had fallen asleep.
"*Panting* Good night... Ludgar... I hope we can find them... zzzz... ", Kevin had followed the slumber.
Even though Kevin has completely fallen to his slumber, his nostrils remain wide as it senses something familiar.
Kevin's nose sniffing*
Zooming into Kevin's nostrils*
Inside Kevin's nose*
The two finally realized that the host is actually the young prince Kevin. Charlotte conceals her tears, pouring down from her face, while Hawkeye closes his eyes upon hearing the exhausting words from the prince.
"I guess we should go back to Kevin's heart and the king about the identity of the host, Charlotte. I don't want to let Kevin know about our situation. It might stress himself mkre that his body might weaken by himself.", Hawkeye insisted the elf to go back of where they had arrived.
"*Sobbing* Alright, Hawkeye. I know it's hard for him to know about it. I'm afraid that I'm going to agree with you. We should not let him know about our location. At least, he has company for him. (I wonder how Ludgar actually escaped from this disaster.)", Charlotte agreed the thief's suggestion.
The two have decided to go back down to the kingdom where it has now merged with Prince Kevin, without the knowledge of the prince himself.
Charlotte manipulating Kevin's nosehairs to make way down into the prince's heart*
Hawkeye inducing more airs coming in to the prince's nostrils*
They are being inhaled gently by the unaware prince*
Changing the scene to Kevin's sleeping face and snoring*
