Chapter 2

They were on they're way to the kingdom of atlanica which most of the human world mistook as the kingdom of the sea but in reality it was actually the kingdom of Halflings, creatures with a half human form mixed with another specie's body parts such creatures have been put in myths for thousands of years for example the little mermaid, minotaur, the elf's, the fairies, and so many more. But these creatures could only be born in this kingdom.

The kingdom had a great past apparently a couple of hundred years ago the king had fallen in love with a human girl even though it was not allowed so he left his home his people everything just to be with this one girl. Over the years the descendents all grew more powerful and had even started contacting the kingdom. But one day it stopped so they sent some of they're men out to the town they lived in to find it had crumbled to the ground and had been burned into but ash. But there as but one survivor who had recognized the descendant's description and had said that he had fallen in to a forbidden love and had also had twins a girl and a boy. She had said that it was his fault all this had happened to them because he fell in love with her. It was then before they had found out the reason that the woman died and still no one knows the reason they're love is forbidden.

They were all sitting in the carriage on the way to the kingdom.

Muta was asleep, Toto was out in front with the driver, yuki was staring out the window, while Lune was going over some documents, and last of all was baron who was reading his book.

When they got to the castle they were shocked to see that one of the gate guards was crying his eyes out. Baron being the gentleman he was jumped out of the carriage and ran over to the man giving him his handkerchief.

"What is going on here?" Lune asked

"I'm sorry about my friend he is just worried about the princess we all are" one of the other guards said shocking them for the same reason

"Since when did atlantica have a princess?" Toto asked curiously

"For quite a while now" the man replied smiling slightly

"Why would you be worried?" muta asked glancing at Toto

"It is not my place to say sorry" he replied opening the gate to let them inside

As they walked threw they saw a women waiting on the other side waiting for them guessing that was they're escort they walked over in her direction noticing the women had a worried face on as well baron decided to start a conversation.

"What might your name be?" baron asked politely

"My name is Sarah" she replied casually although slightly shocked that there were people around who still spoke like that.

"That is a lovely name" yuki said even though to her it sounded quite strange.

"my name is strange because I'm from the human world I was being attacked by some men when the princess had stopped them from doing any worse and had brought me back here after I passed out to heal my wounds she stayed by my side not even knowing who I was I decided to stay" she said with a warm smile.

Looking at her she looked about thirty with black hair down to her waist and brown eyes.

"She gave me a job and a place to stay"

"She sounds like a lovely girl" baron said

"She is"

"What do ya do around here then?" muta asked

"I'm the co-chief in the palaces kitchens" she said I'm getting mutas ears to flicker up now having all of her attention.

"the king is In here" she said pushing on a pair of dark ebony doors which opened to revel a old man sitting on a sofa, a boy with brown hair and blue eyes, a women with black pixie style hair and red eyes standing by the window, and who they guessed to be the king by the way he was dressed pacing around.

"Ahem" Lune politely coughed getting them all to turn they're heads in his direction

"Ah it's good to see you again Lune" the king said smiling sadly

"Is this a bad time?" baron asked causing the king to raise an eye brow at the appearance of the creation.

"I'm afraid so but you may wait with us if you wish"

"If you do not mind me asking who is the princess everyone keeps mentioning kashi" Lune asked

"She is "he stated but was cutting of by a blood curdling scream

"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" causing all they're eyes to widen for different reasons most out of worry but the bureau Lune and yuki because they knew that voice.

"Haru!!" they screamed at once
