Enderlox: The Trilogy (Part 3)

Chapter 11

I'm sorry that I missed last week's update.

Still Skyler's POV

I slowly walked over to Velvet.

"Velvet! Please call down!" I begged. At this point, the lives of endless people all depended on me calming her down.

She glared at me for a second, but her glare quickly softened into a look of guilt. The strong aura that she had once given off was now gone.

"I'm sorry... I get angry easily sometimes." She apologized. I smiled and hugged her tightly.

"You're really cool for a 15 year old." I said to her. I let her go and looked at Dennis. He seemed confused.

"What's up?" I asked. He pointed to something behind Velvet and I. We turned, only to see none other than uncle Ty sitting on the cliff we used to race to. It was well hidden from the castle grounds. I squinted to see him better. He didn't have on a shirt, but he did have on a pair of dark pants. His hair was messy and tousled. He looked like the guys I would usually swoon over, but something about him said that he wasn't here to look cool and show off his powers. Instead, he just sat there on the cliff, watching the townsfolk gather for my party.

"You guys go on back to the gazebo, and take this." I handed them a slip of paper. "It's a Promise Pass. Show it to any guard who says you can't sit there, and hell let you stay. I'll be right back." I told them. Without looking back, I jumped up and transformed midair. I silently flew up to where uncle Ty was seated. I knew he had noticed me, so I sat down next to him on the cliff.

"I see your found the best seat in the house." I spoke. I tried to make conversation.

"Yeah, I guess..." He said. He didn't look at me. He continued to seem so very fascinated by the many people.

"All these people... They all came because you're old enough to be a proper queen... Queen Skyler... It's got a ring to it."

"It does," I chucked. "Doesn't it?"

A moment of silence caused an awkward atmosphere around us. I placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked at me with tired eyes.

"Are you ok?" I asked him. His purple eyes were dimmed and dulled. I felt an uncontrollable sadness.

"I feel so weak... And I don't know why... I've tried health potions, speed potions, even dark magic. Nothing's worked so far." He explained. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to help. I couldn't even think.

As a result of my brain failing me, I pulled him in for a hug. He seemed shocked for a second, but soon he hugged me back.

"I'm sorry about your sickliness... I wish there was something I could do to help." I said quietly. He hugged me even tighter.

"Skyler... I need to ask you something very impo-" Uncle Ty was cut off by the sound of the royal horns bloeing. Dad was finally going to give his speech.

"I'd better get back before dad goes crazy again..." I said. I let him go, but he lingered. After a few seconds, he too let go. He turned back towards the large crowd and sighed.

"Cya..." I said as I fell from the cliff. I flew back to the gazebo and quickly transformed. I joined Dennis and my new friend Velvet. Although my body was there at the party, my mind was elsewhere...

Soooooooo..... I'm sorry that I missed last week's update. I didn't have a very good Wi-Fi connection. Anyway, here ya go! Enjoy!
