The Land Of Stories 5: The Final Battle

The Brave Knight

That night when Charlotte and Bob went to the Campbell's for dinner, Alex and Connor went to work.

Alex held the flask with the portal potion in it and was sitting on the couch while she waited for Connor to get down stairs with his stories.

"Ok I got them." Connor said as he went down the stairs. He set them on the coffee table. Alex picked up the first one on the stack of papers.

"This one looks good. The Brave Knight." Alex read.

"Ok let's do that one first then." Connor said.  Alex opened the flask and pour a drop onto the paper.  The paper glowed.  Connor set it on the floor.  The twins then went into the story.  The words formed around them and before they knew it they were in a field.

"Look there's the castle." Connor said and pointed to a glorious castle that was in front of them.  The paper with the story on it then appeared in front of them.  Alex picked it up and put it in her pocket. "That's where the Brave Knight is." Alex and Connor started walking towards the castle.

"So what's this story about?"  Alex asked.

"The story is about a guy who spins wool and dreams of becoming a knight. But then the royal family is kidnapped by pirates. So that night the boy is in bed and he gets awoken by a fairy. She tells him that he is the only one who can save them. So he goes on this adventure to save them. And at the end he saves the day and gets knighted by the king." Connor explained.

"Wow." Alex said. "That sounds like an amazing story."

"Thanks."  Connor said.  They walked and walked until they found the village.  They then saw 2 horses ride into the town.  A knight was on one with a princess behind him and on the next one was the King and Queen.

"That's him."  Connor said and pointed to the knight on the horse.  He had brown hair and brown eyes and wore silver armor.  He hopped down from his horse and then helped the princess off.  Alex and Connor then walked over to them.

"Hello."  Connor said to him.  "I'm Connor and this is my sister Alex."

"Nice to meet you."  The knight said.  "My name is Brandon and this is the Princess Ivy."

"Nice to meet you."  Ivy said.

"Is that him?"  Alex whispered to Connor.  He nodded.

"Yeah it is."  Connor whispered back.  "Nice to meet you guys.  So anyways I have a favor to ask."

"Our home is being attacked by an army, so we were wondering if you can come and help us fight them."  Connor asked.

"I would be delighted."  Brandon said.

"Great.  You can follow us and we will lead you to our land."  Alex said.

"Great."  Brandon said.  Ivy hugged him.

"Be careful."  She said in his ear.

"I will."  Brandon said.  They then separated and followed Alex and Connor back to the field. Alex put the price of paper that was in her pocket on the ground. They all jumped in and they ended back up in the living room.

"Is this the land I need to save?" Brandon asked.

"No." Connor said. "We'll be going there in a few days I think. We just need to get more people to help." Brandon nodded. Just then they saw a rabbit hop out of the page.

"Catch that rabbit." Connor said. They all ran around trying to catch the rabbit but he was to fast. Just then the front door opened.

"We're home." Charlotte said as she opened the door.

"No!!" They all said in unison. The rabbit then ran out the door.

"I'll get it." Alex said and ran out the door. Charlotte and Bob just stood there wondering what had just happened. Alex followed the rabbit into the woods behind the house.

"Where did you go?" Alex said as she looked around the woods.

"Hello Alex." A voice said from behind her. She turned around and saw Lloyd.

"Uncle Lloyd." Alex said to herself.

"So you finally know who I am."  Lloyd said.  "Who I truly am."

"Yes."  Alex said.  "And I have just one question.  Why are you doing this?"

"I don't think it's the time or place to tell you."  Lloyd said.  "Get her."  Alex looked around her and saw The Snow Queen, The Sea Witch, Morina and a bunch of other witches.

"What's going on?"  Alex said.

"See, Alex once I got my army to the fairytale world I knew that the army I had wouldn't be enough."  Lloyd started.

"Me and the witches already had a plan for you.  But once Lloyd joined in on it.  We knew we could do better."  Morina said.

"What are you gonna do to me?"  Alex asked afraid.

"If we told you it would be no fun."  Morina said.

"Now!"  Lloyd said.  The Snow Queen then took a white pouch out of her pocket and started walking closer to Alex.  Alex tried using her magic, but it was no use.

"Don't even try using your magic.  I've neutralized it."  Morina said.  Alex tried to move, but she couldn't.

"Help, Help."  Alex screamed hoping someone could hear her.  The Snow Queen got to her level and blew some powder in face.

Alex coughed and coughed.  "What was that?!"  Alex asked.

"You'll see in a few moments."  The Sea Witch said.  Alex then went expressionless.  Her eyes began to glow and her hair was floating above her head and she was lifted into the air. Her green dress was turned into a black and blue floor length dress with a black cape with a high collar, and her hair then turned a dark shade of blue.  Her head band she wore was turned into a headband made of black thorns.  Her white shoes were then turned into black laced up heels. 

She was soon set back down on the ground and her eyes were now back to normal and her hair flowed around her.

"How do you feel?"  Lloyd asked her.

"Dark."  Alex said and then an evil grin appeared across her face.  "I like it."  Lloyd also smiled an evil grin.

"Then let's head back. So you can start your work."  Lloyd said. 

"Agreed.  That world thought I was dangerous, then I give them dangerous."  Alex said and walked over to Lloyd.  The Snow Queen and The Sea Witch walked over to him as well.  Morina stayed where she was.

"Aren't you coming?"  The Sea Witch asked.

"No.  I have some business here."  Morina said.  "Ill catch up."  Before she knew it they were gone in a white cloud of smoke.
