The three Kingdoms of crystal

Cap I

The chirirping of the birds was intrerrupted, by the strong gallop of some horses. A powerfull  black mustang was the first one to appear near the ruins of, once the most beautiful village. Soon a second horse arrived neighing loudly. 

The first rider dismounted from her horse, her armor making the sound of metal cliking, while the second one just stared.

"Is this Kalopsia? " asked the blonde girl still on her horse.

"No..it was, Kalopsia." Said Luna upon inspecting the earth.

Climbing back into her saddle, she steered the horse towards her friend. "Someone was here before us. It destroyed everything." Yelled Luna towards Alma. "I can see that..That's unfortunate" Answered the older girl with a sigh. "We are going back to Nethilor" demanded Luna. As they galloped towards the kingdom, Luna wondered what could be done to reunite the three kingdoms.

The gallop changed to a walk, when the stone walls of Nethilor came into view. Becoming aware of her surroundings, Alma smiled. The euphoric smell of flowers was unfogetfull.  But for Luna, the bubbled anger didn't disappear.

"You know..you should relax once in a while." Laughed Alma as she came closer to Luna's horse. Luna's gaze softened and she relaxed her hans from the  harness.

With a heavy sigh Alma's brown eyes met Luna's grey deep eyes "I know...but i am afraid of whatever destroy them, will destroy us." Entering under the glorious voult the girls lowered their voices. They already attracting enough atenttion beacuse of their position.

The stone streets were crowded with stalls People were going down the street with bags full of groceries. The warm sun was setting in the distance drawing a beautifull scenary on the sky, behind the castel's towers. 

Whispers reached Alma's ears.

"I've heard that if the healers aren't found, and the Solasta  isn't brought back, the magic will disappear and our kingdom and all the other's will get destroyed."

"This is  impossible. they are all dead or a myth." The other voice whispered.

'What are Healers?' tought the blonde while followig her friend towards the castels gates. Upon entering the gates they both dismounted stepping boldly on the stone slabs toward the stalls.  After taking the saddle and harness off their horses, they started walking towards the back entrance of the castle.

The king's restless footsteps echoed loudly in the chamber, while several members of the senate were reading a document bent over a round wooden table.

When the king saw the girls entering the room, his face literally lit up. He came closer to Luna and shook her by the shoulders.

"Well..? Is Kalopsia still there?" 

"I am sorry you're highness but i'm afraid that no" spoke Luna.

The king started taking big steps towards the table and took a red  pen. With an aching heart he noted an X over Kalopsia. One of the senate members started whispering something in the king's ear, and showed him a document.

Taking the papirus in his own hand he blinked a few times and looked toward the warrior and the Dystopian cartographer, before looking down again. Alma forowed her brows and took a step forward.

"Is there anything that upset you you're highness?" 

Looking up from the document he forced a smile. Before signing them to follow him. Entering another room he showed them the papirus. It was a map.

"You see, " started the king "We searched in every village and kingdoms, but we didn't find the stone of Solasta." The king took a deep brath as if he was nervous. " We have reasons to believe that the stone is kept somwhere hideen by a type of people named Healers. Peoples that stole the magic and hid it in the Solasta stone.  But taking the magic they killed the wizards too. You, of all people, know the best. " Said the king to Luna with a sad face.

"They ran away,... all of them..they hid and then, the just.vanished, and then the Solasta disappeared too. We don't know were they are but we think that they lived in Endora. But then got out of there." 

Luna took the pergament in her hands and before she could think of what she was saying it sliped. "We will go and find the healers,and the stone of Solasta. Tomorow first thing in the morning." The king himself was surprised by her courage but the happines was filling him up.

Darkness and silence filled the now emty streets. Luna just stood on her bed, eyes closed, praying that the agonizing pain in her head to stop. She also wondered if the fish that she ate at the launch was going to make a second reaparence. Making comfortable in the beds covers, she fell asleep.

Well this is what she whised. But aprently her sleep flew away right when she needed it. Groaning she pulled the covers over her head, whising that these restless night's would stop, and she would get some sleep damit.

The coldness in the room,  surounded her, and she shifted in her bed. If only her parents were there... When she'll get the occasion, she will kill those who hurted her. Then she will be the best. Then she will get her dream true.

Getting up from her bed she rushed towards the barn outside her house, and opened the heavy wooden doors. Entering she lighted up a torch and looked at all the things inside. The wheat rotted day by day. The blades of straw were dry and burnt by the summer sun. Luna closed her eyes and without realizing it, a wave of anger had darkened her thoughts.

Raising her sword she started practicing the moves a soldier needed to know. Not stopping when she felt sweat  appearing on her forehead, neither when a rat ran in front of her, and neither when a wave of tears threatened to spill. Gritting her teeth she griped her hold onto the sword.

The playful light of the fire had created shadows clinging to the walls, as she tought about those who she shall end. 

Everything was perfect. Why did they have to leave? To abandon them? Were they actually so selfish? Because all the others were dead! And she will make sure they will fell the pain they caused to her.
