Enchanted Kingdom 1:The brightest night

Chapter 7: The Jumble With Names

Frost opened his eyes.

Someone was shaking him awake.

' Sir! Sir! Wake up!'

Frost got up.

A monkey with caramel fur was in front of him. The monkey had hazel brown eyes sprinkled with a slight shimmer. It had a huge nose that had snot stuck out from it.

Frost snorted in disgust as he saw the snot.

' Why are you on my territory?!! Leave right this second!' Frost yelled angrily.

' Oh... sir, please do not be mad, let me explain first. Okay?' The monkey soothed.

' Fine.'

' Greetings. Frost uh- you have a last name?' The monkey cut himself short. ' Yup. It's Frost.' Frost replied without thinking.

' Okay... uh, Greetings, Frost Frost- you sure your last name is Frost?'

' What? I told you that? My last name is Ultramarine. My middle name is Amethyst.' Frost was wide awake now.

' Okay. Greetings, Frost Amethyst Ultramarine. I am Hickory Tortilla Peanut-' Hickory was cut short.

' Um... your name is Hickory? It's a wondrous name...' Frost said. But mouthed the opposite when he was done talking.

' Yes... indeed. What did you say? Just now?' Hickory asked.

' Nothing.' Frost smiled.

' Okay then... I am the Emperor Icicle Gray Shadow's most favourite messenger. I come in peace. As I know, Emperor Icicle Gray Shadow has sent an invitation to you, Frost Amethyst Ultramarine. You, Frost Amethyst Ultramarine, have accepted the quest. As the Emperor Icicle Gray Shadow loves you and cares for you, Emperor Gray Shadow has decided to let you choose a weapon of your choice, you-' Hickory was cut short.

' I don't need a weapon.'

' Sorry? If I heard you right, you said you-' Hickory was cut short again.

' Yes. You heard me right. I don't need a weapon.'

' It is fairly unkind to cut someone short two times-'

' Can we not talk about manners now?' Frost was impatient.

' Three times in a row. Now-'

' Now leave.' Frost continued.

' I am sorry, Frost Amethyst Ultramarine, but I came here by the emperor's commands.' Hickory said.

' I am a leopard with wings. I am not a weird monkey like you. I don't need weapons.' Frost bared his teeth.

' HA! HA! I'm a leopard with wings,' Hickory mimicked Frost, ' I don't need weapons like you weird monkeys! HA HA!'

' Are you leaving or what? I have a beautiful bed that's made out of thorns. I would be very happy to borrow it for you.'

' I will be fine without your thorn bed thankyouverymuch.'

' Sure... Never mind. But I would very much appreciate you leaving. I need privacy,' Frost said.

' Okay if you say so. After all... I'm just a messenger. The emperor sent you this letter. I will stop being so nosy and mind my own business.'

Hickory passed Frost the letter and turned away without another word.

Frost unfolded the piece of paper and began to read.

Hello Frost,

I am Emperor Icicle. I am very sorry if Hickory had bothered you. He's a little brat. As you know, I seldom write letters by hand, unless I'm writing to an important person.
