The Missing Prince

Chapter 2 'How it went down'

So I went on this ‘aDvEnTeR’ and it took me three days, THREE DAYS! To get to the next village over. And even when I got there no one knew anything about the prince's whereabouts. It took a month. A whole a*s month to get a singular clue about the prince: I was told that the last place the prince was seen was going into the dragon's forest. Im screwed. Im so screwed. From what I’ve been told dragons are deadly creatures that will f*ck you up. If I find that prince alive i’ll be impressed. So I head to the dragon's forest no weapons, no extended knowledge on dragons. I just go into the forest and almost 2 minutes later im running for my life from an earth dragon I'm running at top speed, full-on sprinting until the dragon lost interest and went away.

As I was catching my breath someone grabbed my arm and there I was standing face to face with the missing prince I was looking for. Finally, I could go home but the look on his face told me he ain’t go’n anywhere.

“Who are you and why are you here.” the prince said in a very serious tone. The prince was about 6,1 maybe 6,2 and he had dark brown hair. And when I say dark I mean dark. His hair almost looked black. He had emerald green eyes and was wearing a black cloak that covered most of his body. The prince was holding a dagger to my throat and I gotta tell ya when someone is holding a dagger to your throat it's hella scary.

“Chill bro. Chill. My name is Alex York. and I was forced to come to look for the missing prince of the ’dragon sanctuary kingdom’ or whatever the name was.” I say not yet realizing I was talking to the prince. Like I wasn’t given a picture of him or anything. They just told me. ‘Find the prince.’ and booted me out of the kingdom.

“Alright.” the prince said skeptically. he removed the dagger from my throat and motioned me to follow him. I followed him still unaware that he was the person I was looking for.

“Hey, would you know anything about the prince? I was told he was seen coming into this forest and I just want to go home,” I asked. He didn’t respond so I just kept quiet for now. I followed him to a secret area of the forest and there was a small house there. he leads me into the house and he closed the door behind him. It was nice in the house. It was a small cottage but it was very nice. The cottage was warm and well-cleaned. Everything was organized and neatly put away. Nothing was out of place or uneven. It was the complete opposite of the house I grew up in.

“wow, this is a very nice place,” I say as I glance around the room. The prince still said nothing. The prince went into a room and brought me new clothes. The prince handed the new clothes to me.

“You smell like sh*t so clean yourself and put these on.” The prince said sternly. I didn’t even argue, I did as he was told. When I washed my hair it was dirrrrty. It took me 5 minutes to fully wash my hair and my hair was a vibrant white by the time I was done. When I got out of the shower and put on the clothes the prince gave me, I quite liked the style of clothing.

“It suits you.” the prince said when he saw me in the new clothes. I smiled and then the prince spoke again “My name’s Jack by the way.”

“Nice name,” I say with a smile. I still didn’t know that he was the prince and I got to know him pretty well. I also learned a lot about dragons! There are nine types of dragons. There are the four weakest types of dragons, fire, water, air, and earth dragons. Then there are the three mid-level dragons, sky dragons, star dragons, and time dragons. And last but not least there was the strongest type of dragon and there was only one in the entire world—the royal dragon. The forest is mainly filled with the lower four types of dragons and apparently, none of the dragons come to this part of the forest where Jack lives. That's so cool, right?
