Hollow Kingdom
Chapter 3
The young witch replied with a nodded, "Well it's not every day a zombie sends me a secret message, and from the black warlock none the less". They entered his home and took a seat behind a coffin table, in his dining room. She sighed relaxing into the comfortable cushion, "So I'm assuming I was called for our usual talks and tea"? Eddward sighed as well, "I'm afraid not dear friend. A storm is brewing, and fear for the people of these kingdoms. I need the return of the Red Knight". She smirking sipping the cup a tea that just floated to the table.
"What make you think I know of his whereabouts," she questioned. Double D arched at eyebrow at her, "What makes you think I'm foolish enough to think you of all people don't. Your past relationship with the knight is of no mystery. Though I'm not sure why you didn't run away with him, when given the chance". His information surprised her but she did not show it. Nazz simply sighed with a weak smile, "Though we adored each other's company our sexual activities began to lose its purposeful lust". Eddward took a sip of his tea, "I didn't take him for one to grow old of sexual enjoyed, with no strings". Nazz nodded, "Yes, but string began to form". Edd arched an eyebrow, "With you"? The blonde shook her head, and Edd's face saddened a bit, "I'm quite sorry to hear that". Nazz laughed waving him off, "Oh please don't I wasn't one for connecting strings, unless there for puppets. And Kevin was not one to be controlled".
Double D shook his head, "I'm aware of that". "That being said you know he won't come. He's formed a pack now being the alpha wear wolf has him quite busy. Not to forget his loathing for the Kings of both kingdoms," She explained. He retorted, "Yes, but his hatred for the rulers well not over power the care he has for the people of this land. He will come when times of danger strike these lands". Nazz's features darkened as she asked, "And are these times upon us"? The warlock nodded grimly, "If this plan I have begun doesn't fall through, I fear the kingdom will". Nazz quickly asked, "By the Kings?" He shook his head and explained, "The King of Throttle has order his younger brother to wage war on the Kankers Junkle Kingdom". Nazz nearly dropped her tea, "On what grounds!? They have shown no sense of hostility upon Di Nero".
Edd nodded well aware of the statement, "It's a set up. He knows very well of the lack of strength Eddy's army has and plans to use the Kankers to destroy the remaining forces of Eddy's protection. He will easily become king of both lands". Nazz frowned, "And those that live in the kingdom of Di Nero with have an even harder life under that monsters control". "Which is why I need the Red Knight to be prepared to fight, Di Nero will attack at sunrise," Edd stated and she quickly stood. "I'll find and try my damnedest to get our knight back," She said passionately.
Eddward himself stood and followed her out as she rushed to the exit. She stop standing on the porch and turned back to him, "What are you planning doctor"? "A way to return the Kingdom to its rightful state and glory," Edd stated looing the blonde in the eye. She was silent for a moment then asked, "Why"? He gave her a charming smile, "In due time you'll know. Now enough talk, make haste we don't have much time". She paused a bit, but followed his orders taking off on a broom into the sky.
Edd returned inside his home and walked to his cauldron. After lighting the fire below it and mixing four different potions together, causing green smog to overflow from the pot. He gathered his item from customers he'd had. An old robe from Nazz, a sowing string from Sarah's doll, an old bolt from Johnny's neck, a toy from Jimmy's collections, a human figurine from Ed, a gold tooth from Eddy, a chip of a sword from Kevin, and many other things from the all subjects of both kingdoms. The special potion took four hours to complete and fuse into the opposite half of the jaw breaker. After his work was done he placed the candy ball in a box and quickly left his house.
As the sun peaked over the arisen an army of men could be seen marching down the entrance hill of the Junkle. The Kankers got word of the attack from a counter part of their queens, to say they were prepared was an understatement. A wall of Amazonians stood at the front gates of their trailer park kingdom, with three sisters on the front line. Lee, Marie and May were the queens of the Junkle, and ruled their land together.
Each sister had their own unique style of combat, all three hand unimaginable strength and were willing to put their lives on the line for their people and goddess. They cared little of the kingdoms Di Nero and Throttle, if any form of hostility was taken it was laughs. To say they were saints was lie, they most certainly enjoyed running a bit of havoc in both kingdoms to annoy their kings. However, none of these actions were cause for war, then again the brutes that ruled these lands didn't need a reason to fight and neither did the Kankers.
As the soldiers came to a stop, Eddy stood in the center front, a few feet away from the sister. The little king was terrified, but a smirk covered the fear as best it could. The oldest queen spoke first, "What brings you to our lands, cutie king E," Lee teased. Eddy snapped back blushing lightly, "Shut it Kanker! You know why we're here". He held up his golden sword and swung it forward shouting, "CHARGE"!
Watching the war unfold was a horrid sight for the warlock that looked from above. He frowned at the sight, his eyes saddened by the bit of bloodshed that would have to ensue. Wiping his head away from war he took part in creating Double D made his way to the kingdom of Throttle. "Please your majesty, I… I only have 50 pieces of gold to get through the year. I… I have no more to give," The man begged. King Matthew frowned down at the peasant in boredom. "Enough!" He shouted slamming his fist on the concrete thrown.
The peasant jumped as he spoke, "You say you don't have anything to give," the king looked down with a wicked grin. "You have 50 pieces of gold, that's more than enough. But you lied to me little man, and I just don't do well with liars," He laughed the last few words out, shaking his head. "Guards, dispose of this shrimp," He orders shooing them away. The guards wasted no time grabbing the poor old man and dragging him away, as he begged for freedom.
Moments later another guard appeared with a message, "Your honor a fortune teller has come to see you". The king frowned, "I called for no fortune teller. Send him away"! Before the guard could reply a voice was heard, "I wouldn't do that if I were you, your majesty". Both the King and guard looked at the withering old man in a hooded cloak. He wiggled his wrinkled fingers in warning with a toothy smile at the men. "Who are you freak!? No one enters my thrown room without my permission! And no one tell me what I should do! Guards throttle this poor excuse for a man!" The King growled and the guard followed sue, but were quickly stopped at the wizards wave of his staff.
The king quickly stood in shock of his frozen guards. The old man began to walk forward and speak, "I'm here for no trouble milord. Just a humble fortune tell come to give the great throttle king a mere warning of his inevitable demise". This caught the kings attention and he arch and eyebrow at the geezer. "What're you talking about old man?" He asked. "Oh just a simple premonition of the war that is to come. A war that you began," The old man smiled.
