"I'm going to go out there and fight," said the king. "You can't!" Queen Kamara said. "They'll kill you!" "As well as all the other men and women in our army," he responded. "Well," the queen said shakily "If you must." King Kartis looked at us, said "Protect the queen," and left. We looked at each other, not really knowing what to do. "Queen Kamara," Bo said, "May I go to the bathroom?" The queen laughed. "Of course," She said. When Bo got back, she asked our names. "I'm Alicia," said Alicia. Then pointing to us said, "And this is Amina, Amira, Bo, and Ares." Queen Kamara looked at us thoughtfully, then looked at her lap. "I really hope Kartis is alright." "It'll be okay," Amira said, as she flew over to the queen. We heard a nock at the door. "Yes?" said her Highness. When the door opened, we saw a highly armed soldier. "Wow," Ares and Bo whispered at the same time. "I have come to protect you, my queen," the soldier said, bowing.
