Later on, I was called back by Kyle. "Alyssa, I'm afraid a disturbance has occurred. A horde of monsters are heading for Zaron." Kyle said. "Are you going to fight them?" I asked. "Naturally," Kyle replied. "I'm taking most of our army to go fight the monsters. You're staying here in the kingdom of Zaron, and are in charge of it for the time being." "But I don't think I can manage a kingdom on my own! What if the disturbance or something else makes it to Zaron?" I said. "You're not staying in Zaron alone. Stan will stay here, keeping you safe." Kyle said. The moment he said Stan would stay to protect me, is where most of my worries diminished. Stan did make a promise to me earlier today, after all. "Yes, my king," I said, bowing. "Just please make it back safely." Kyle nodded. With Jimmy and Butters accompanying him, he left Kupa Keep.
Knowing this was the perfect time, I immediately ordered the remaining elves to build defenses such as cannons, ballistae, walls, and towers in advance. "No slacking off! The slightest mistake will come back to bite us when we least expect it!" I yelled. A elf comes up to me several minutes later, and said, "Your highness, when's break?" I thought maybe I was too bossy and harsh, so I decided to let the elves take a break, a fairly long one. Perhaps I was taking this princess role too seriously. I had a bit of trouble sleeping in my room the castle at night.
In the castle mess hall the next morning, I was eating breakfast and talking to some of the elven warriors. Stan then walked in, and sat right next to me. "Hey, Stan," I said, "we were just talking about the grand wizard." "Oh, really?" Stan said. "Do you know what he said, your highness?" An elf asked to me. "What did he say?" I asked. "According to him, he's not fat. He's just big boned." The elf replied. I smirked as I said, "He must have a giant bone in his ass, then." Everyone burst out laughing. Stan shook his head, and then put his right hand on my left shoulder. "That is why I love you," he said, "You're beautiful, kind, and a bit of a dork. It's moments like this I treasure."
The moment abruptly ended when an elf enters the mess hall and yells, "Intruder alert! The humans have invaded Zaron!" I quickly got up and yelled, "Everyone, prepare for battle!" I ran into somewhere in the castle I thought was safe. However, the area was already severely damaged. Although it was still holding up and no humans were there, it won't be long until it fully collapses. I ran up the stairs and noticed that not only had the humans had thrown grappling hooks on the castle windows, they were scaling up the wall. I promptly threw each of the grappling hooks out. One human managed to get close into coming in the castle. Gritting my teeth, I pulled out my baseball bat and sent the human flying down to the ground.
Next, I was with the archers on a rooftop, and I commanded them to shoot at the human army bellow. Although the archers ensured no humans got over, the humans soon broke into the castle via a battering ram on the front door. The humans wasted no time in rushing on the rooftop I was on, subduing the archers. "The princess!" A human yells, looking at me. "Capture her!" I was initially shocked, but I got out of there, and went for the stairs. They were falling apart. I had no choice but to jump, expecting injury, or even death. But I didn't land on the ground at all. Instead, I landed in the arms of someone. The first thing I noticed was blue eyes staring into mine. "Stan?" I said. "Are you alright, my lady?" He asked, cradling me. I said, "I'm fine, but now is not the time. We've got a massive battle on our hands. We need reinforcements!" Stan nodded as he set me down, and I was heading towards the top floor of the castle.
As I arrived at my destination, I froze when I was cornered by a group of humans in front of me. The only escape was the window. It was another deep fall, so I grabbed some pillows and threw them outside before I leaped out, landing on top of them, softening the impact of my fall. I figured the next best thing to do was to find someplace safe to hide, and hope that reinforcements arrive soon. I decided to hide in the forest. I knew it was a cowardly move to abandon the elves, but my hope was fading away rather quickly, and I was getting really stressed out.
I hid behind a tree closest to the castle, and watched the battle. As I moved my hands down, my right one was grabbed. I gasped. "Did you really think you could get away from us?" A deep but sinister voice called. I turned my head to see two yellow menacing eyes staring at me. "Craig?" I said, nervously. "Don't forget me!" Tweek materialized behind me. "How'd you find me?" I asked. "That doesn't concern you," Craig said. "You're coming with us, your highness." Before I could say another word, my mouth was covered with a gag, and my hands were tied up with rope. I tried to break free, but Craig held his dagger at my throat. "Move, and you die," he said ominously. Craig and Tweek then took me to a glade, and tied me to a stone table. "If he doesn't come, you'll live," Craig told me. "If he does, you die." I honestly didn't know what to think of what Craig said. I've had a decent life prior to moving the South Park, so I wouldn't exactly say I'd have more pain living than dying.
