Chapter 3

The clouds covered the sky. Every part of the sky was blackish grey. The water was shallow, from Diablo ' s Swamp to the ocean but still safe enough to swim in. The clouds shadowed over the black bricked castle, Raykamin. The Raykamin castle was home of the ogre king, the ogre queen, and their only son, ogre prince Kevin. The Ogre King was preparing to go to war with the Fairy King, he was in the battle room with several of his generals. The Ogre Queen and Kevin on the other hand, were in the throne room sitting on their thrones, inspecting the suitors his mother chosen for him to marry...For the fifth time. Several girls and boys were lined up; some were witches, some were goblins, and some were ogres as well.

OQ: So...

Kevin looked at his mother.

KV: So what?

OQ: Are you finally gonna choose someone?

Kevin looked at each suitors that came to the throne. He looked at them up and down, walking in circles. Sadly, none of them had the 'thing' add he would recall. One by one they were all sent away. The Ogre Queen sighed in disappointment.

OQ: Kevin...

KV: Sorry, mother...but just like they others, none of them had it.

OQ: Kevin, you need to stop worrying this... 'thing' that someone needs to have. When we won this war against the Fairy King and finally make all of Fantasia ours, you'll be the named the Ogre King.

KV: Yeah...Mother, why do we have to have all of Fantasia covered in darkness anyway? I mean this war just seems pointless to me. Can't we just...you know find a way to live together peacefully?

OQ: ...Kevin, light and darkness cannot live as one. That's why one must overpower the other and why you must choose someone to marry before than.

The Ogre Queen wrapped her arm around Kevin's shoulder and they walked over to the Window. They looked out at the ocean, just as gray as the sky. Kevin looked at goods mother's reflection and she was looking at his. Kevin looked liked his father but had some similarities of his mother, like her green eyes, her red hair, and her freckles.

OQ: This 'thing' you are searching for in someone. How would you know when it's there?

Kevin exhaled sharply looking at his reflection.

KV: I'll just know, mom...but it's not helping if you keep picking someone for me.

OQ: Well, I may be queen but I'm still your mother and I'm not getting anyway younger. I want some grandchildren.

KV: Mom! I'm only 23, can I still live my life first for a bit longer?

After a few hours Kevin and his gang went scouting through the forest. In his gang were his best friends; Nat the ogre, Rolf the goblin, Nazz the witch, and Jake the soul eater.

NT: Yo, Kev. Where the hell we going, man?

KV: Were just scouting, Nat. Plus I needed to get out of the palace.

NZ: Your mom rambling on about the marriage stuff again?

KV: She's really pushing it on me.

NT: Why not just have someone steal you sperm while you sleep?

KV: Like seriously?!

Just then they heard a branch snap in the distance and they stopped.

RF: What was that?

KV: I don't know, but I'm gonna check it out.

Kevin hopped off of Motoa and carefully walked towards the noise. His hand glowed green and made a club appear.

JK: I can sense two souls near by.

Kevin look over his shoulder at Jake who was floating above him. His body was covered in black, only thing that was visible were his eyes, which looked like that of a demons.

JK: They're small, but not from this side of Fantasia.

'Probably some kids from the light side.' Kevin thought. Kevin continued walking when he heard someone crying. He moved two big leaves from his view to see that he was right; it was two fairy kids who were obviously lost. Kevin then made his club disappear and let his hood down of his face. The children looked at him scared, Kevin kneel down to their level, and he smiled. He wanted to show the kids that he was no threat to them.

KV: Hey, you two. What are you guys doing on this side of Fantasia?

Kid 1: We were playing at the border line with some friends and one of us kicked our ball really hard into the black forest.

Kid 2: We came to look for it...

The kid held out a blue ball that had little stars on them and showed it to Kevin.

Kid 2: Even though we found the ball... We got lost.

The kid sniffled wiping a tear from her eye. Even though they were fairy children, Kevin knew that they wouldn't survive out here in the black forest; no child can.

KV: Well I know my way around this forest. I can take you to the border line my self. Besides, your parents are probably worried sick?

The kids faces lit up in relief. They took both of Kevin's hands and begin to walk to the borderlines. Motoa soon came following after them and Kevin sat the children on Motoa's sattle. After a few more miles they made it to the border line.

KV: Okay, we're here.

Kevin looked back smiling at the kids, but something was wrong: the kids were laughing, but not like children. Their voices changed and they had wicked smiles growing from one side on the faces to the other.

Kid 1: You shouldn't have done that, ogre prince.

KV: What the hell?!

The children turned into adults and began to attack Kevin. Kevin was caught off guard and tried his best to fight off these damn trickiers. They scratched his skin deep enough for to bleed, they punched him so hard he spatted out blood from his mouth and broken his nose, they kicked him so hard in the stomach that they broken several of his ribs. After a few more beatings, the trickiers left him for dead but not before leaving him a message.

Trickiers: A message from our king: You'll never have the light side of Fantasia.

With that they left. Kevin was beaten pretty badly but managed to but his fingers to his mouth and whistle a call for Motoa. Motoa came, Kevin grabbed the straps and pulled himself up. He wrapped his arm around her for support as he limped over holding his ribs. He looked back at the Black Forest, he knew that he was too badly injured and wasn't gonna be able to make it home so he thought maybe there was somewhere he could hide until night fall.

KV: C'mon Motoa...we need to find somewhere to hide.

Soon Kevin and Motoa heard the roaring of a waterfall and voices. They headed towards the voices, Kevin was on the verge of collapsing but managed to pull his hood over his head, and walk to the waterfall. Kevin thought he heard voices but no one was there, he groaned in pain, and before he knew it, his legs gave out and everything went black. Then Kevin felt something warm and soft under his head, he fluttered his eyes open to meet with deep, ocean blue, sapphired colored eyes. Those eyes were nothing like he seen before. This was the 'thing' he was looking for. Oh, he could stare at those eyes all day, everday if he could keep his open...But who's eyes were they? Kevin's lips curled into a gentle smile.

KV: Such pretty eyes...

And then...He passed out.
