A King's Tale - Ranboo-

A Fox and a Question

Ranboo once again lead their pack of three on their journey. Tubbo not close behind with Tommy dragging himself to follow. The ghost was following but more discreetly while invisible.

"How much longer?" Tommy said with annoyance.

Ranboo didn't even look at the boy. He's had enough of the incessive whining and if he could go back in time he'd have left the boy down the cliff.

Tubbo flew up to get a better look at what they had to overcome to get to get to the next place. "It looks like we have to pass a forest before we can get to the kingdom." He yelled down.

"Why don't you fly if your legs hurt that bad." Ranboo had his tail gently rised with annoyance in his eyes.

Tommy fluffed his wings and shut up. Ranboo seemed to stroke a nerve. Ranboo noticed the slience and enjoyed it. Note to self when the bird boy gets bothersome pick at his wings.

When they reach the entrance of the forest they had to stop. The forest was very dense and the canopy on top of it made it look even darker in the woods. Ranboo studied the inside, this will be interesting.

"It looked like we have to travel straight for an hour or so if we don't lose path." Tubbo spoke still looking up but he's now standing on the ground. "Let's hang onto each other so we don't lose each other." Tubbo grabbed Ranboo and Tommy's hands.

Ranboo heard the bird boy muttering something but didn't care. Tubbo began to lead them.

Why is it he seems more persistent then the bird boy? Don't tell me these idiots are speaking from experience of getting lost. I would hope the Bee boy had this idea if they did have a situation similar to this. Of course I'm speaking of going through a dense woods not taking a prince "hostage" and going around the world with them.

Ranboo glanced at the bird boy, but sees him not there. Ranboo lifted his tail. The ghost must have lead him off with a trick. He'll have to stop Tubbo in order to return to the bird boy.

"Tubbo your friend is mi-" His vision went black.

...

"TUBBO!" Tommy shouted. Where the hell did they go? Tubs just had my hand then next thing I know I'm lost. The ghost seems to take more of a form next to Tommy due to the shadows from the trees.

Tommy glared at the ghost. This Wilbur guy must have done something. He already gives me bad vibes so I just need him to do something to prove it.

The Phantom didn't seem to see the glare as it's focus was on their surroundings. Tommy tore his eyes from him and looked at the ground hoping to see footprints that could bring him to his friends. No footprints are there. Tommy moved to see if he could see his own, his shoes left no evidence of him being where he was.

"Maybe the ground is to dry?" Wilbur said seeming to understand Tommy's experiment.

Tommy crouched and felt the ground with his hand. The ground was just dirt. No grass since the sun couldn't reach it and the rain fell from the canopy.

"TUBBO!!!!" Tommy wasn't good at technical smart stuff. Oh my fucking gods. Tubbo is alone with that monster.
Tommy started to run the ghost floating behind with confusion.

"Tommy you should've stayed where you were, now if they look for you it'll be harder for them." This didn't seem to stop Tommy who was flying through the woods as if he himself were the ghost and not Wilbur.

Tommy shouts for Tubbo and suddenly falls on the ground after running into someone. Tommy groans cursing the gods. Tommy got up to glare at the ghost but sees a fox person on the ground looking at him.
"Who the hell are you?"

The fox person gets up and dusts himself himself off. The fox wears a black and gold hat, a black jacket with gold cuffs, and black pants.
"Hello my name is Fundy and I live in these woods. Who are you?

Tommy gave the stranger a weird look, "I am Tommy im looking for my friend Tubbo. We were walking through here then I lost him." Tommy looked a round trying to spot Wilbur but the ghost seemed to have disappeared.

"I'm sure I know where they are headed since newcomers only come passing through for the castle these woods hide." The fox's tail swayed from side to side with swift ease.

"Lead the way," Tommy eyed the fox with some suspicion. The fox began to dash off and Tommy had to run to keep up.

The fox had gotten a good way ahead of him before suddenly the ground under him gave in. Tommy gave a surprised shout as he fell 10 feet in a hole. Tommy tried to get up but yelled as he fell back down. Tommy's leg was killing him, again. The fall must have got it hurt again. Even if he could jump he wouldn't be able to jump that high.

"Hey asswhole what is this about!?"
The fox peaked down at Tommy with a huge grin on his face. "Throw your stuff up if you want out."

Tommy glares around before realizing he wasn't going anywhere without this fox's help. Tommy sighed before he threw up his bag. The fox caught it then disappeared a moment before dumping a bucket down. Green slim covered Tommy's clothes and red wings.

Humiliating.
Tommy held up both middle fingers as the fox left his sight again. Tommy lifted a wing and wiggled it trying to get some slim off. Even without the slim he couldn't fly out.

...

Ranboo opens his eyes with a banging headache. He bats his eyes to try and stay awake as he takes in his surroundings. It was dark but he could see shiny things. Once his vision got more focused he gathered that he was in a cave type shelter that is filled with gold and random items.

Ranboo tried to move but found that he couldn't move. He looked at his arms and saw them cuffed to roots.

Ranboo easily breaks the roots then looks at the cuffs. The cuffs were the sort of ones that prevented magic from being used once put on.

This might be a problem. Ranboo rolls his eyes then looks around the mess. Who would trap an prince and put him in this pigsty. The prince either needed something slimy or something to break the cuffs.

Ranboo's eyes rested on a bucked of green slim. He sighed. This was going to hurt.

Ranboo put his hands into the slim and bite his lip. Ranboo slid the cuffs off as quickly as he could, only getting a little resistance. Smoke came from Ranboo's hand as they started to turn purple. Ranboo rapidly wiped it against his cloak.

Ranboo could feel his vision start to fade again. He had to get out of here. Ranboo's eyes filled with purple as he took a look at where the light was entering the den. That was the last thing he saw before everything in his mind blacked out.

Birds chirping. What an annoying sound the little things make. This was the first thing the prince could think of once he could gather his thoughts and hear himself.

He could feel sunlight hitting his skin, it felt nice... He wished he could just stay like this but he knew he needed to get moving and open his eyes.

He forced himself to open his eyes and found himself next to a tree. How did he get there? He didn't remember leaving the cave den.

Ranboo had to remember, remember what happened, what happens. How does he just black out then appear somewhere he wasn't?!
