Mikayla POV
Right now I'm sitting on my bed, tears streaking down my face. I should be happy that Brady's gone. I didn't know what to do about him and now he's out of my life right? No. I want Brady back. At first I wanted him gone but now that he is, I want him back. Yesterday, after the elders had left, the kings and I were thinking of ways to keep Brady here when a guard came running in to report that Brady had disappeared again and his stuff wasn't in his room anymore. No one knows where he went. The Kings had immediately organized a search party for Brady but they came back empty handed. It seems as if Brady disappeared into thin air. I let out a soft sob. Why did he leave? I know he wanted to not cause any trouble but we could have found another way! While I was crying I didn't hear my door open. My dad walked in and sat down next to me on my bed, wrapping his arms around me in a hug. "We'll find him baby girl. I promise." I looked at my dad, tears still rolling down my cheeks. "I don't know daddy. Maybe he's gone for good this time." I croaked out. "We will find him. I promise Mikayla. He will be back before you know it." My dad smiled at me, causing me to smile slightly. "Alright daddy."
Brady POV
"Lanny, is it ok if I go over to Kinkow for an hour or two? I won't let them see me." I asked my cousin who was sitting next to me while we ate breakfast. "Sure thing, cousin! Just be sure to be back soon because I need you to patrol and to train the guards some more. This morning they actually were able to fight some Tarantula teenagers off so your training seems to be working." I nodded to my cousin. "Alright then, I better get going. I'll see you later King Lanny!" I spoke while standing up and walking away. "See you later!" Lanny called behind me. I quickly ran up to my room and changed into solid black clothing before grabbing a bow and arrow and raced to Kinkow. Once I made it to the island I ran through the trees to the beach where I knew that my brothers would be. I was right. They were both sitting under a tree, talking. I stopped behind their tree and silently climbed it so I was sitting above them. They couldn't see me, even if they looked up.
"How are we going to find Brady now? The first time he left I knew he went back to Chicago but now I have no idea where he ran off to! If only the elders would have let him stay." Boomer sighed sadly. I felt bad about having to leave my brothers like I did but I couldn't have them knowing where I was. It would draw too much attention to me. I then watched as Mikayla and Mason came walking up. Mikayla's eyes looked to be a little red and puffy, as if she had been crying. "My Kings, Mikayla and I are going to go help the guards over at Lanada today. Apparently Lanny hired a new head guard but he might require some assistance training the guards." Mason spoke. I silently scoffed at this. I didn't need any help to train the guards. Wait a minute. If they're going to go help the head guard and I'm the head guard, I need to hurry back! With this alarming thought I quickly hopped down from my tree silently and carefully so they didn't see me before I took off running back to Lanada.
As soon as I arrived I rushed up to my room to trade my bow and arrow for a sword and a dagger as well as a machete. I then grabbed my jacket and put it on before sliding my sword into the sheath and running downstairs. Once I reached the throne room I rushed over to Lanny who looked at me confused. "Why are you back so soon? You were only gone thirty minutes." Lanny questioned. "I was spying on my brothers when the Makoolas walked up to them before saying they were coming over here for a day to help train the guards so I had to hurry back since I'm the head guard." Lanny nodded his head. "That's strange. I never told anyone on Kinkow that I had a new head guard. Hmm." Lanny looked thoughtful. "Can you still stay here and train? Just disguise your voice and you can wear your hood up. Does that sound ok?" I thought Lanny's idea over before nodding my head. "Alright I'll try, but what do you want me to do with Indigo?" Lanny's eyes widened. "I forgot about her! I'll just keep her with me until you are done." I nodded my head. "Alright then, I need to get to the training area. See you later Lanny." Lanny waved bye as I walked away. This is going to be hard.
When I entered the training area all the guards were waiting. I quickly pulled my hood down. "Alright everyone, we are going to have guest guard trainers visiting today. You will treat them with respect. Also, if you are to address me today then you will call me either Mitchel or Sir. Got it?" I questioned. All of the guards nodded while a small rumble "Yes sir" ran through the clearing. I then pulled my hood up and began practice. Today I was helping the guard with using machetes. About half an hour into practice the Makoolas arrived. They stood at the edge of the clearing, most likely unsure on who was the head guard. I was currently helping Tate out again. "I think I got it sir! Thank you!" Tate smiled before turning to spar with another guard. I then walked over to the Makoolas. "May I help you?" I asked, pretending I didn't know who they were.
"We are the Makoolas. We were sent to help train the Lanada guards today." Mason spoke. I nodded my head. "Alright then. My name is Mitchel. I'm the head guard here on Lanada." I introduced myself to them. "My name is Mason and this is my daughter Mikayla." Mason motioned to Mikayla who in turn stuck her hand out. "Mikayla Makoola." She introduced herself even though her dad had already said her name. "Alright then." I turned to my guards. "Everyone split into three groups." I commanded my men who did so immediately. "Wow. You have quite the control over your guards." Mason complimented. "Thank you"." I responded back. "Alright. Mason, please take the group on the left, Mikayla take the group in the center, and I'll work with the group on the right. They're working on using a machete." The Makoolas nodded and we split up to train with our own groups. I heard the Makoolas introduce themselves. One of the teenage guards tried to hit on Mikayla, causing her to flip him and her dad to walk up behind him and threaten him. After that, no one dared to try and flirt with Mikayla. We all spent a few hours training, trading groups every so often to teach different things. By the time we ended our training session it was getting close to dinner time.
"Good work today everyone! Practice same time tomorrow!" I called out to my men as they started to walk home. Tate came bouncing up to me. "Mr. Mitchel, sir, thank you for helping me today!" Tate exclaimed. I chuckled. "It was no problem Tate. You're doing really well. You just need a little more practice." Tate nodded. "Ok sir. I'll see you tomorrow!" He called as he walked away. "Good-bye Tate!" I called after him. The Makoolas then walked up to me. "You seem to be extremely friendly to your warriors." Mikayla commented. I nodded my head. "It helps to encourage them. If you aren't doing well then you just need a little bit of help then you will get the move down. That's the way I learned at least and it worked for me." I explained. Mikayla nodded. "Well, we have to be heading back to Kinkow. It was nice to help you out today Mitchel." Mason extended his hand to me. I shook his hand before we started walking separate ways, me back to the castle, and the Makoolas back to Kinkow.
Once I reached the castle I walked up to my room and slid my jacket off as well as sat down all of my weapons except my sword. I then walked down to the dining room where I found Lanny and Indigo eating. "Hello." I greeted. Indigo and Lanny both waved to me. "When are you going to let me go see King Brady?" Indigo questioned. "After dinner, I promise." I replied before starting to dig into my food.
A few minutes later once I finished Indigo immediately hopped up. "Let's go see King Brady!" She exclaimed, walking over to me and pulling me out of my chair. "I guess we're going to go see King Brady then." I replied while standing up. I noticed Lanny roll his eyes out of the corner of my eye. I turned to Indigo. "Follow me." She nodded before I led her to my room where we could talk in private. As soon as we walked in she looked at me in confusion. "Where is King Brady? This better not be some sort of joke!" She exclaimed, looking slightly mad.
"Don't worry, it's not a joke. I am King Brady." I admitted. She looked at me for a moment, trying to decide if she could trust me or not. "Very well. If you are King Brady then what is your age, full name, and is there someone that you love and if so, what is their name?" I nodded my head to her questions. "I am eight-teen, my full name is King Brady Mitchel Parker, and there is someone I love and her name is Mikayla." I finished. Indigo looked at me for a moment before relaxing. "Alright then King Brady. I was sent to warn you about what's coming. There is an evil force rising and if you take me to the elders then I can tell them you are the third King of Legend and you will be allowed to stay on Kinkow. However, now that I see that the enemy can't find you here, it might be best if I talk to the elders and you still stay here on Lanada. You are helping to train King Lanny's guards, and they will be helpful in the war that is coming." Indigo finished. I stared at her.
"So if I'm a King of Legend then what about my King Ring? Boz has mine now." I questioned as we both sat down. "There is something else you hold that is even more powerful than the King Rings. I can't tell you what it is but you will find out when the time comes." I sighed at these words. "Alright then. Are you going to be staying here?" I asked. Indigo nodded. "I will stay here and help around. Would you like to know more about me?" She responded. I nodded my head. "Ok then. My name is Indigo as you already know. I am actually a sorceress. I'm able to shape shift, brew potions, and cast spells." She finished. I blinked, trying to process what she had just told me. "I normally wouldn't help but since you saved me it's the least I can do. Your warriors were planning to kill me because they thought I was a witch. I'm a sorceress. There's a difference!" She yelped the last part. I smiled at her. "Alright, Ms. Indigo, do you want to stay here in Lanada's castle?" I questioned. Indigo nodded. "Yes please. Tomorrow you and I are going to speak with the Elders to convince them you can go to Kinkow though." I nodded my head before watching her stand up and began walking to the door. "Good-night, King Brady." She then left the room. I sat there on my bed trying to process what had just happened. After a few minutes I gave up and fell asleep, not bothering to change or anything.
Finished! I hope you guys liked the chapter! Thanks for reading!
Lots of Hugs,
