Hollow Kingdom
Upon walking out of the Castle the gentlemen known as the Black warlock Dr. D.D Vincent, (Or Double D to friends) left the king with two hollow dice. A treasured item that belong to true ungodly ruler of the poor land. The doctor looked up at the neighboring castle that towered over De Niro. It appeared beaten and run down, but strong, sturdy and tall the Kingdom of Thrash. Ruled by the older brother of King Eddy. After the war and destruction of the former kingdom, the land was commandeered, by a so called family friends of the previously ruling family. While one controlled the other both Kings ruled with greed and selfishness in their hearts, leaving their subjects in misery and surrounding areas wastelands filled with wild animals and monsters alike.
The Kingdom of Thrash, with it castle literally built to enormous heights that went so far as to block out the sun of its neighbor. Plagued with crumbling buildings that are forced to be lived in, on crime filled streets. A land where you are constantly seen as small no matter what you do. Ruled by a cruel Vampire known as King B. Also known as the Big brother of King E. King E ruled the smaller kingdom De Niro, with a castle plastered in gold and silver and his subjects in constant poverty and depression. A place where you don't have a penny to your name.
All this is separated by the Black Pine woods, a plot of lands filled with untamed nightmares and even monsters would dream of entering. This the domain of the good doctor, only a few know of his existence and it's only those he allows to do so. Living in a humble cabin deep within the forbidden lands, he keep it safe for himself and creatures that occupy it. Being a warlock with demons blood he holds powered that is of use to many people. He helps those that deserve it, and those that don't. But if his assistance is given you must always give something in return. And they must be of great value. "Great Value indeed," He spoke softly as he looked at purple and black dice. H
e strolled into the forest towards his home humming a haunting tune. Once he was home it removed his hat, jacket and fingerless gloves, and walked to wall of personal treasures. Double D took a dusty box from the shelf and blow on it displaying the initials W.V. He opened it and placed the two die inside their imprints. "Returned to their rightful place," he smiled fondly at the box. The magic user was pulled from his thoughts when he heard the moaning and groaning of his name. A small smile formed on his face as he went to his reading table and looked into his orange crystal ball, and sure a frantic male zombie running through the woods to his home. Seconds later strong, loud knocks came to his door, he smiled standing up to open the door. He was greeted by two large arms, clamping around him. "Double D!" The large creature whaled holding Eddward in a vice hug. Struggling for air he wiggled in his friend's arms, "Good afternoon Ed. What brings you here in such a panicked state"? The large Zombie known as Ed Stine cried, "Sarah went missing again in the woods Double D"! Double D freed one of his arms to pat Ed's head, "There, there dear Ed. I'm sure she simply playing with Jimmy". He assured his friend, who simply hugged him tighter crying, "But we're not supposed to go in the woods! Mom sad so! If she finds out Sarah's gone again, she'll cut me up and ground me". His mix matched eyes dilated at the thought making him shout, "I GOTTA FIND HER DOUBLE D"!
The hysteria made his jaw fall off his face and the floor. Eddward sighed and explained, "Very well Ed, but you have to release me and pull yourself together. We can search for her in my crystal ball". He was quickly released and dropped to his feet, while Ed rushed to the glowing ball on the table. Now on his knees he pressing his face into the glass groaned. Dusting himself off and followed his undead friend to the table, after picking up his jaw. "Edd, "He spoke his name like a mother to a child, making the zombie look at him.
As he did Eddward jammed Ed's jaw back on his head and warned, "Manners". Ed quickly understood and stat up straight, while Double D sat down in the voluptuous arm chair. Waving his hand around the orb he spoke calmly, "Find me Sarah Stine". It only took seconds to find a of the little red head undead girl playing with her rag doll and floating stuffed bunny, in the pine woods. Dr. Vincent smiled, "See. She perfectly safe and_" the wind that cut him off left the table rocking. "Sound," Double D sighed, as Ed went bursting out his door and running into the woods shouting for baby sister. He put his jacket, gloves and hat back on before walking out of his cottage and trailing behind Ed, who was few feet away. Lifting his hand and pointing a few feet ahead of himself a purple portal formed in front of Ed. Fumbling into the portal, caused him to tumble over and destroy the stuffed bunny playing with his sister.
Sarah gasped and quickly glared at Ed and growled, "Ed ya big lummox! Look what you did to Jimmy's Mr. Yum, Yum"! The older brother looked back in confusion, "Mr. Yum, Yum," he questioned. The sound of whispered crying could be heard around him, before Sarah attacked him. Double D entered the scene to see the two siblings rolling on the grown.
A soft smile formed on his lips as he shook his head and cleared his throat loudly, gaining the attention of the three. "Is fighting truly necessary," He questioned twirling his finger at the broken stuffed toy. It began to spend surrounded by violet and black smoke and reconstruct itself. Sarah and Jimmy gasped with smile as the toy was returned to the little boy's arms. Both children shouted the warlock's name and hurried to hug him. He returned the affection with a soft smile, "It's nice to see you two as well. But I do believe an apology is called for Sarah".
She gave him a perplexed look, "Ed came to for assistance to find you. He was very worried for safely as would your mother be, if she find out of your actions. Although he made a mistake violence should not have been your response". A hint of regret was shown on the girls face as she and Jimmy apologized to her big brother, who replied with a big loving hug that left the Zombie girl flustered and boy embarrassed, but happy to be forgiven. Double D smiled and nodded at the scene, "Now let's get you two home". After taking the two kids to Ed's house Double D tapped his large undead friend. "Ed could I ask for your assistance to complete a message delivery," Ed just smiled. "You got me Double D," Ed just smiled.
The next day Dr. Vincent returned to the castle of De Niro, with the item King E requested. As soon as he entered the room Eddy barked, "So what'd ya bring top head". Eddward sighed "As you requested your majesty," and took a box out his hat. Upon showing it before him made the king's eyes widened and mouth water, "Is that a_". "Yes, a jawbreaker," Double D concluded holding half of a purple sphere covered with black dots. "It is a treat constructed of my own design," He informed.
Eddy arched an eyebrow at the candy, "Where's the other half"? "Only half if the treat is required to have the results you wish. Feed a small portion of this to your men and they will be an unstoppable army at your control. Keep in mind that if this items power is abused it will turn on you," Eddward warned and Eddy waved it off. "Yeah, yeah, now how make them eat it?" The king asked egerly. "Grind the candy to dust and serve in their dinner or desserts," Edd explained. With the snap of a finger the castle cook was at the warlock's said and was handed the broken sugar ball. "So how long does take for this stuff to work?" He questioned "One night," Eddward replied and arched his eyebrow, "Why do you ask". Eddy gave a low chuckled and looked down at Edd in fondness, "I knew not telling Big Bro about you would come handy, thanks Double D. We attack at dawn" He smirked.
Double D's eyes widened, luckily his hat covered the expression of shock and fear that plagued his features. He quickly recovered smiling and bowing at the little King, "No thanks necessary, your majesty. I'm simply happy to help". Eddy's smirk faded as he was freaked out by the warlock's sincere smile. "Well… ya helped enough… now scram!" He ordered and Eddward took his leave.
Dr. Vincent left the castle with a mission of his own. He knew all too well where this, "attack" was going, and had to put an end to this nightmare before it became worse. Once he got to his house a beautiful young lady was waiting for him, in front of his cottage. He smiled at the blonde whose hair was up in a bun, wearing a scarlet and pink kimono. This rob hung loosely on her shoulders, displaying the shiny silver scales that layered the side of her neck and shoulders. A scaled devil tail waved side to side as she smiling at the home owner. "I see you got my message Nazz," Eddward smiled.
