The Forever Crystal

Queen Thoram

I see the guards open the door and I walk in. They close the doors behind me and look up to see the Queen sitting on a beautiful throne. From all the movies I've seen I immediately bow down and keep my head down as well.
"Welcome Jada, to Shylinsia." She says, "There is no need to bow my child." And I jump up and apologize. She gives me a polite smile and continues.

"Has Garih and Christian told you about your grandparents?" She asks.

"Yes ma'am." I say shyly. She smiles and I notice how beautiful she is, her clear skin and long curly hair was magnificent. I look at her dress and it has light blue diamonds and the main color was pink. I look down at myself and see my lame clothes compared to hers. This is embarrassing.

"Well good, your grandparents were worthy warriors and best friends of mine when I was
21 years old." She says, and I look at her face and she looks young right now. Do these people age at all?

"This country needs you to fight against the Montorum clan and the Hildron clan, but first you must train with Garih and Christian. Since you have never been here before, they will help you access your real form."

"What exactly is my real form." I ask.

"Every warrior, assassin, and protector has one. Once opening the real form it improves your power a great deal. Also royal blood has a real form, would like to see some of mine?" She asks. I nod in suspense and take a few steps closer to her.

She shows me her hand for a few seconds, then it started to change colors. Her hand changes from tan to light purple. I see her fingers growing little by little, until it stops. She then takes my hand and makes me feel the front side of her hand, it's scaly and sharp, is she some kind of fish or reptile.

"See, my real form is the sea horse, I know it is kind of weird but I love it because it's apart of me. I must have great concentration and practice for you to control your powers to do what you want." She says then  her hand changes back. "Garih will teach you how to access your real form and Christian will teach you combat skills."

"I have one question, why me? Why not my mom?" I ask.

"Because your grandmother specifically said her granddaughter, we followed her last wishes." She said firmly. "You are this world's last hope, please Jada you must help."

I look down and think really hard, ok so I have only been here for a few hours and now I have to save a world. I never met my grandparents before but they sound like honorable people, I don't want to disappoint them. I have three months to prepare and fight the Montorum clan and the Hildron clan.  I hate the weekends.

"Now Jada, go to Queen Olivia and she will tell you the rest, here take this map." She says and hands me a map to Rajia.

"Bye Queen Thoram." I say with a smile.

"Farewell Jada, Good luck."

I open the door and see Garih standing by the window and Christian leaning against a wall playing with a black force.

"Ok, lets go to Rajia now." I say confidently.

"Finally." Christian says and begins to walk out.

We get to the entrance and my eyes widen right once we walk out the door. I see the land and it's stunning, the sun was at a perfect angel to make it look like I was in a movie scene or something, and all I can think is, This is Amazing! I try to just stand there and take it all in but Christian and Garih were walking ahead, so I caught up with them.

"How long will this take?" I ask curiously.

"About two days time." Garih answers. Great this is exactly what I need, a 48 hour walk to another country.  Oh well, no point in complaining now, I'm on my to Rajia. I wonder what it will look like.
