So... I'm currently trying to catch up on D23 expo now that it's ended...
I hope some exciting new things will be showing up...
One day, I'll go to Disneyland... and it will be the happiest day of my life... up until my wedding day...and up until i have a baby...
Well, I'm still young and life's just begun... it should be an entertaining one...
Read on my friends!
Surane and Iris were sitting on the bank of a lake near both kingdoms. The creature had flown the both of them to this precise location. It then transformed into a tall, dark, muscular, scary man with orange eyes and silver hair.
"Your majesty and simpleton girl..." he spoke darkly.
In the sky, a full moon was just peaking over the horizon. Its reflection was almost visible in the lake.
"It's just about time..." he said again.
"For what?" Surane asked.
"Your highness, it's about time for you to make a choice." he smiled.
The moon's reflection was almost complete in the water. The scary man smiled and approached them.
"Princess Surane, daughter of King Ansem, current ruler of Radiant Garden. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" he bowed.
Current? Was her father dead? Had this...thing... killed him? Surane was about to cry again, but she sucked it up, trying not to look weak.
"Never, you monster!" she yelled at him.
He clicked his tongue at her. There was an ace up his sleeve. Now the moon was fully visible in the lake's reflection. A mysterious purple and yellow magic danced from the full moon and headed for the girls.
"Well then, I hope you and friend know how to survive..." he smiled again.
The magic reached the edge of the lake. It possessed the water and traveled to their feet. Then, it happened. The magic spun around their legs in a small tornado. It carried them closer to the lake where two full water spouts consumed them.
The man smiled and watched their transformations. This one was only temporary so he could prove a point. The real magic would begin if the princess still rejected him.
After the water spouts dispersed, what was left was a beautiful pink and purple wyvern and a cute, grey and red dusk. The creatures looked at each other with shocked looks. Surane flapped her wyvern wings with fright.
"What have you done to us?" Iris shreiked.
"Oh, a little spell. Just a taste of what will come." the man answered.
"Who are you?" Surane asked, her yellow eyes glowing fiercely.
"I am Xemnas, your father's ex-royal magician. I've waited 19 years to exact my revenge and take his throne. But since I am no longer in the history books, I have decided to take a sublter route to the throne. You're his only heir, Princess."
"I will never marry you! I don't care what you do to us!" Surane yelled at him.
"Fine, how's this?"
With a snap of his fingers, Surane turned back into a human. Iris still remained in her dusk form. Xemnas rushed forward and grabbed the princess by her arms. Iris came forward, ready to smack the silly daylights out of him. Xemnas's servant, Larxene rushed forward and bagged the dusk.
Xemnas pulled Surane into the forest and pushed her against a tree. She struggled against him, but the recent transformations took the energy out of her and the attacks were frail. The sorcerer pinned her against the tree with his own body and held her arms back. She grunted in pain and from a strange feeling in her lower body.
"Don't think you've won for just being brave. I've cursed this entire lake and forest. You and your friend can't leave, no matter what. When the moon sets, you will turn back into a wyvern. When the moon rises, you're human again. Your friend is stuck being a dusk until I the curse is broken. Trust me, I don't plan on taking it off anytime soon." he whispered into her ear.
Surane grunted at the force of his body. She never felt anything like this before. Then again, no one has ever done this before to her. She was scared of what he might do. Xemnas noticed her pained look and laughed.
"This is only the first night, princess. If you're not careful, I might attempt something more...intruding..." he giggled.
The man unpinned himself from her and threw her to the ground. There would be time for fun later.
"I'll be back tomorrow. I hope you change your mind soon. I'm not a patient man." he spat at her before leaving.
Larxene dropped the dusk bag in front of the princess and followed her master into the forest. Surane quickly opened the bag to let Iris out. Her friend huffed and puffed with rage.
"The nerve! I would've socked them if I was still a human!" she growled.
Surane hugged the dusk and patted her on the head. She was glad Iris was with her, but also guilty that she dragged her into this.
"I'm sorry about all of this, Iris. I didn't mean to make you suffer...If I just had said yes to Terra, we wouldn't be here right now and Father wouldn't be..." the princess apologized.
"No, your highness. It's okay. How many people can say they were a dusk for awhile?" Iris laughed it off.
Surane smiled and looked at the lake. The full moon's reflection was in the middle of the lake. She would have to get used to this, there was no hope.
Meanwhile, Prince Terra was practicing his archery. He had been at this for a weeks since Surane disappeared, constantly shooting arrows into targets day and night. It was driving everyone crazy. Terra absolutely refused to do anything else except practice. Even Ven was tired of watching his friend.
"Terra..." he said.
His friend paid no mind. Another arrow hit the bullseye straight on.
"Terra... Terra... Terra..." Ven repeated.
No response...
"TERRA!"
The arrow missed the target by a few feet.
"What was that for?" Terra shouted at him.
"You were dazing away!" Ven shouted back.
"I'm trying to practice!"
"You're being obsessive!"
"I have to save Surane!"
"Why?"
"Because I love her!"
Everyone on the field stopped what they were doing to watch the little spat. Ven and Terra took no notice of the staring eyes. It was unlike them to fight and right now, uncalled for.
"Well, I love Iris!" Ven continued.
"I know! We all know!"
"Then let me help you find Surane! She might know where Iris is!"
"Iris could be dead!"
"So could Surane! Both of them have an equal chance of still being alive!"
"I know!"
An eerie silence came upon them. This was probably the worst fight they've ever had, oddly enough, over women. But, Ven was right. Both girls had a fighting chance of being alive. If the boys kept fighting, the chances would be slimmer.
"Terra? Can I train with you? If someone is helping you, then you don't have to watch your back as much." Ven asked, calmed down now.
"Sure, buddy. Let's get started."
Looking over at the field, it only just occured to them that all the targets were in terrible shape from Terra's training.
"We need some new targets..." Ven mused.
"Those were the last ones I could find." Terra stated.
"What now?"
The prince stratched his chin and pondered. Slowly an idea formed in his head when he looked over and saw the band playing for his mother's tea party. The rest of the servants had the day off, so this was the last option.
"We might need some animal costumes and safety paint arrows..." Terra smiled.
I would've posted this up sooner but I was sick for a bit and had stuff to do...
The exciting life of an author is a bit inaccurate sometimes...
Stay tuned for the next chapter! A song is coming up!
