Chapter 4: The Kingdom of Parthenia:

Faina's POV:

The Nutcracker was leading us to this strange place.

"All of this is in the castle," asks Gala, "how does it fit?"

"Where are we," asks Dominik.

"This is the Kingdom of Parthenia," says the Nutcracker, "it was once a peaceful planet, but then the Mouse King invaded and took over. The Prince, mysteriously disappeared. No one knows what happened to him. The Mouse King and Sugar Plum Queen have ruled our kingdom ever since."

"Sugar Plum Queen," asks Dominik, "doesn't sound very scary."

"She was one of the four regents," says the Nutcracker, "she then decided to join forces with the Mouse King and betrayed all of us."

"Did you guys ever think of getting a cat," asks Dominik.

"Someone's coming," says the Nutcracker.

It was two people. One guy and one girl. "Hello, I'm Zinovia and this is Sergei."

"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... hi," says Dominik, seeing Zinovia.

"Hey there," says Gala, seeing Sergei.

"Have you found the Rebellion," asks the Nutcracker.

"We're still looking," says Sergei, "I wish the Prince was here."

"The Prince abandoned us," says Zinovia.

"He was your friend as much as mine," says Sergei.

"Well, where is he," asks Zinovia.

"There's always the prophecy," says the Nutcracker.

"What prophecy," I asked.

"It is said that the Ballerina Princess will save us all," says the Nutcracker.

"Ballerina Princess," asks Dominik.

"Is she friends with the Waltz Lord," asks Gala.

"No offense, but your world is weird," says Dominik.

"Well, what heroic names does your world have," asks Zinovia.

"Well... my Mom was the... Swan Princess," I said.

"Yes, that is much better," says Sergei.

"We better find the Rebellion," says the Nutcracker.

I was looking at the Nutcracker. What did happen to the Prince?
