Starstruck II: Saruman's Curse

Prophecy of Heroes (Disney AU)

The day that the Prophecy was spoken, everything changed. The three kingdoms of the land fell into turmoil. The Winchester Kingdom defended their land as best they could, but many villages had fallen victim to the tyranny. The Pirate Kingdom tried to stay neutral, but even they were affected.

Queen Kara the Malevolent, ruler of the third kingdom and Evil Sorceress, took the land first surrounding her kingdom, then tried to take other land. Many small villages fell victim to Kara's evil plan. One such was the Deer Grove village, part of the Winchester Kingdom, where siblings Castiel and Ezri were forced to flee when Kara's army attacked. She burned and pillaged the town leaving Castiel and Ezri homeless and orphaned. They ran, the only survivors from the attack, and they knew they would be followed. So they fled to the forest, their measly belongings in a small backpack upon Castiel's back.

The woods were misty and dark, the sounds of owls whoing in the branches. The winding path was riddled with obstacles such as fallen logs and roots. They had been travelling like that for three days, since the day they had come home from picking berries to find the village burning and their family dead.

A twig snapped up ahead on the path and they both stopped, fearing that it was one of Queen Kara's scouts that were looking for them.

"This way," said Castiel, pulling Ezri off the path to hide behind a tree. They waited silently, even their breathing hushed. Voices drifted across the fog. It sounded like two men on horseback were coming their way. They were laughing and talking. As they got closer, Ezri and Castiel held their breath, hoping they wouldn't be spotted. The two men trotted past their tree.

Ezri's eyes went wide. She recognized them. They weren't scouts...

She let out a small gasp at her realization. The two men stopped talking. At her side, Castiel nudged Ezri with his elbow giving her a look. One of the men got off his black horse and looked around in the direction the two siblings were hiding. He walked over, his hand on his blade. Ezri and Castiel tried to hide further behind the tree and they figured they were out of sight, but the man came around the other side and spotted them. They stood and the man backed off.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Castiel and this is my sister, Ezri," said Castiel, his gaze on the ground. He flicked up a glance at the two men, the other one having joined. They look so familiar... Castiel thought.

"My name is Dean and my brother here is Sam," said the shorter of the two. They were both taller than Castiel and Ezri, but the one was gigantic. The taller one, Sam, had luscious brown hair that went to his shoulders. The other had a face that should be illegal, it was so handsome, and short blonde hair that was spiked up in the front.

"Sam and Dean..." Castiel's eyes widened as he realized who they were. "Your majesties!"

He and Ezri lowered their heads, Castiel bowing and Ezri curtsying.

"Please, no need for that," said Sam. Ezri looked up at him and caught his eye. He was very beautiful, but it felt as though, in that moment, that they knew each other already, and Ezri felt something stir in her gut.

Castiel stood and looked at them both. They were both very handsome men, he knew this from the way the girls in the village are thrown into a tizzy every time they're mentioned, but the older brother, Dean, was much more beautiful in person than Castiel could have imagined. He had a hard time looking away.

"What are you two doing out in these woods?" asked Dean.

"We've been travelling these woods, trying to evade Queen Kara's scouts," said Ezri.
