Prince Ranboo of the Enderworld had left his dry safe kingdom only two days ago but to the prince, who hated rain and been in nothing but that since leaving, he'd felt he'd been wondering for years.

Ranboo could see a town ahead of him and knew he'd stop there for a rest, out of the rain he so despised. The prince wearing a dark purple cloak, purple lose shirt toaked into his pants which was held by an even darker purple pirate sash and black boots. The prince even wore his gold crown under the hood of his coat that was keeping him safe from the ghastly tears from the sky. Ranboo made it to the town and, thanks to the help of friendly street signs that seemed not bothered by the rain, he made his way to an inn.

" I need your best room for the night," Ranboo told the lady behind the bar. The lady seemed in awe at the sight of how formal Ranboo looked but her eyes stayed longest on the gold crown otop of his head. Seeing how the fine Ranboo looked she gave him a grin as she replied with, " That will be 15 emeralds." Ranboo seemed to see the look in the lady's eyes as she did. "I will give you 9." Ranboo wouldn't be only because of his formality.

The lady held a glare to him but the price he offered seemed to be to reasoning to her as she noded. Ranboo gave her the emeralds as she handed him a key and pointed to a hall. "Room 4."

Ranboo looked around the quint room. Awful. Ranboo hoped that this room which had only a queen bed and small closet like restroom wasn't the best room the inn had to offer but didn't feel like going back to the lady. Ranboo had began to pull his cloak off when he felt hunger knock on him. The prince remembered seeing a fruit stand so decided that raining or not he'd at least get something from there. Ranboo put the key he'd been given into a pocket after locking his room- which he'd hardly consider a room for its lack of personality and space.

Ranboo walked past the bar where he'd spoken to the lady who was now not there. Ranboo gave a exaggerated breath before returning to the soaked weeping world. Ranboo made his way to where he'd seen the fruit stand to find a saler. The man smiled at him, " Hello there would you like some fruit?" Ranboo gave the saler an annoyed look. Why else would he come to the stand in the middle of a weeping sky unless he wanted some fruit. Ranboo broke his annoyed stare with the smiling salesman and looked at the choices he had to offer. There were dark red apples, cherries both red and black, pears, and strawberries. Ranboo wished he could bring all of it but he could only carry so much. "Two pounds of strawberries and an apple." The saler grabs a pouch and fills it with the strawberries and a apple. "5 emeralds"
Ranboo give him the 5 emeralds as he grabbed the pouch. "Be careful on your journey prince." Whether the comment being sarcasm or a threat, though the saler's voice didn't sound like either, Ranboo didn't care only wanting to get back to his room and out of the evil crying skies.

Ranboo passed the bar which was again empty of the lady and headed to his room. Getting to his room he found the door unlocked. This place must be so cheap that the locks don't even work. The prince walked into his room and found a strange bird hybrid. The prince looked at the hybrid with disgust and bitterness."Who are you to be here in my room," the hybrid grinned in response his demenanor not formal to the prince at all.

A gun click was heard behind the prince who glanced at where the noise came. The prince's tail easily in reach to grab the gun, though he didn't. The prince was mildly amused but said, "You are looking for a ransom? Don't try you'll be very disappointed. My kingdom doesn't care while I travel the world, they only mind that if I come back I shall gain the throne." From what Ranboo could see the person with the gun was blond haired with wings as a bee if larger. The blond haired boy maybe 17 of age said " Then we'll take you on your way and we'll take our gains from you." It was obvious to the prince that this blond haired boy had to be the brains in sting, no pun intended, since the bird boy hadn't moved from his spot nor said a word.

The prince thought the idea of these two were amusing since he'd only just started his journey so there's no telling when he'd return to his kingdom to gain the throne. But if the two boys thought the prince would be an easy prisoner they were highly wrong. Nearly everyone in his kingdom would say that the prince was hard headed and a brat who only goes for what he wants. And to the Prince's acknowledgment he agreed with this. The prince thought another moment thinking how easy it would be to get away but it was still raining and if he did so he'd miss the chance to have these boys act as escorts on his journey back home. The prince noded," Okay." This seemed to appease the two kidnappers since they shared a smile acting like they'd won, but they didn't know that this was only the beginning.
