The Parallel Paths

Quest

The three were tossed out of the kidnappers hands at their arrival welcomed with a loud thud once they hit the ground. They seemed to be inside of a castle of some sort. The ground was a dark green with a long royal carpet outlined with golden ribbon that lead up to a large being sitting high within a throne. Green bushes filled with thriving flowers all lined up against the wall which were covered in thick vines that were then topped off in moss and little white flowers that surrounded the room.

At the end of the room sat a queen high within her throne who was high above the rest of anyone to enter this room. Her throne was like a magical forest. Covered in moss along with beautiful grown flowers of all different sorts surrounding her chair.

The queen was a rather dark skinned woman with long flowing green hair that rushed down her sides all over the ground like a weeping willow. Her eyes remained closed which really gave a clear view of her facial features. All around all on her face were beautiful markings of sorts even with a small faint flower on the side of her cheek. A neutral solemn look plastered along her face.

She was truly quiet and still as a tree.

The queen wore a long white dress that faded down into a dark green color. Her sleeves were light and delicate, drooping down her arms to rest within her lap. She wore countless accessories around her waist, neck and arms that really matched the theme of this here room.

"Your majesty." Spoke the bald headed kidnapper in a sudden formal voice. Bowing down to show respect. the other two followed behind him.

The queen then smiled faintly at the three who were on their knees staring up at the queen. Zack and the others faces wide with astonishment and admiration. Something about her expression changing once he realized who was in the room with her now.

"We found these three trying to tame boulder babies to attack our kingdom." Explained the bald headed kidnapper now lier.

"OK FIRST OFF THAT ISNT WHAT-" Snapped Zack but was quickly cut off by the queen.

"SILENCE!!" She yelled, her booming voice echoing throughout the room putting an end to any arguing. Everyone in the room jolted at her sudden yet painful yelling that filled their ears.

She then smiled softly after a few silent seconds, it seemed she was trying to contain some anger.

"You may leave them to me, thank you for your service the three of you." Smiled the queen. Her voice was gentle and relaxing like a soft breezy forest.

The three annoying fucks left with a simple respectful nod though small glares shot at the Elara and the others, Alice couldn't help but shiver slightly after locking eyes with the bald headed man. Soon the loud door shut, it was just now them and the queen.

Quickly the kids stood back up, dusting themselves off as they get a better visual of the room now.

It was only silence, the tension rising higher and higher. The three exchanged confused glances between another, trying to figure out what was going on since they couldn't see any obvious facial expressions.

Just while they were whispering amongst themselves, she spoke.

"You three, aren't from here are you? I can smell a difference in scent coming off of you." She spoke, her voice low yet powerful at the same time which sent shivers down the threes spine.
