Art not by me:
A month later:
Ballister pov:

"Do we have everything?" Dad asked. Now that everything has calmed down I have to move back home. I'm next in line for the throne so I need to learn as much about my kingdom as possible to make up for lost time.

Unfortunately Ambrosius and Nimona have to stay because the kingdom needs them. I put shadow and Izzy in the carriage before closing the door. I looked around but didn't see Ambrosius or Nimona anywhere.

I frowned before turning around. "Let's go, Son!" Dad said. I got in the carriage closing the door. I knew Ambrosius and Nimona weren't happy that I had to leave but I thought they'd at least say goodbye.

The carriage and sat next to Drake. Our carriage had some military from our kingdom protecting us on the way back. The carriage was actually a limo that lifted into the air and we took off.

The next day:

"Okay so our grandparents were hard drinkers and warriors." I said. "Yes that's right!" Drake said pointing at the scroll in front of me. For the whole trip I've been trying to catch up on anything political in my kingdom.

The customs, the people, the alliances, what to wear, absolutely everything! "Kids! We're here!" Mum said. I immediately shoved the scroll into my brother's face before opening the window to look.

It was as amazing as I remembered. "This is only the capital, son!" Dad said. As soon as we landed and got out my mum put a cape around me before reporters swarmed us.

"Your majesty!" "Is it the missing royal!?" "Is the monarchy safe!?" "Has the heir returned!?" So many questions at the same time!

We got inside and the guards shut the door. "Phew! You weren't kidding when you said the press were like wolves." I said. "Come on! We need to get you ready for tonight!!" Mum said.

"Tonight? What's tonight?" I asked. "You didn't tell him?" Mum asked dad. "No I thought you did!" Dad said to my mum.

"Tell me what?" I asked. "For your welcome home ball tonight!" Drake said. "Ball!? I'm not ready! I don't know what to say! I don't even know which fork to use! I don't-" I felt a sting on my face.

"Pull yourself together man!" Ryoko yelled. "Thanks, I needed that! Also OW!" I yelled. Ryoko rolled her eyes before handing me a blindfold.

"What's this?" I asked. "A surprise! Put it on." Ryoko said. I put it one before they took me somewhere. I heard a door open until they stopped me. "and open your eyes!" Mum said taking off the blindfold.

I opened my eyes to see.... My old bedroom. It looked exactly the same as when I was little.
