~Winter's POV
I walked in the freshly cut grass towards my favorite tree. I sat down under its shade and started to play with my cat, Audora, when suddenly I remembered something.
"Admireland!" I thought out loud. I put Audora down and ran towards a secret place where no one can see me. The only way to find to get to Admireland was through a body of water. I went towards the lake and jumped in. I started seeing fish and, literally, horse-flies. I felt myself falling down and suddenly I thumped onto the hard, grassy floor. I got up and looked at the admirable view. I heard geese honks and literal dragon-flies. I stepped down the hill and looked around.
"Black fox?!" I yelled, seeing if Foxy would reply. I looked around at what had become of Admireland after 8 years. It still looked beautiful. All the roses were still singing, the moon was up and yet it was bright, the dancing mice in floating bubbles. I walked along the road and found a huge fork.
"Looks like you came to a fork in the road." A turtle came by and told me. Then it sped off as fast as lightning.
"Wow." I said at the turtle's speed. "Time keeper!" I yelled again. I didn't know where any of my friends were. As I walked up a mountain I saw a castle in the distance. I wonder what that is. I have never seen it before I thought to myself.
"A castle of in the distance that only appears during Figgle Month." A high pitched voice said behind me.
"Oh, Keeper!" I said, hugging my oldest friend. "You've read my thoughts exactly." I added, smiling at him.
"That is the castle of the Shadow Queen and her son, Prince Alexander." The Time Keeper told me, pointing towards the castle.
"Are they friendly?" I asked, hoping the answer was yes..
"The Shadow Queen is her name for a reason and her son, Prince Alexander,has a heart of stone. So, um, no. They rule Admireland with force. They've taken what Queen Euphoria has given us." The Keeper replies.
"Ooh, The Shadow Queen. I remember her. But I never met her son Alexander." I said.
"Anyways, what brings you back?" The Keeper said, looking a bit worried.
"Oh you know, just wanted to see my old friends again." I replied, smiling. The Keeper smiled back.
"Remember when you showed the queen to paint the roses black?" The Keeper asked.
"Yeah, and remember my first time here, I landed on you as I fell?" I said, giggling.
"I remember it like it was 2 weeks from now." The Keeper said.
"Still going crazy I see." Looking up at him.
"I sugary am." He replied. We walked through the forest and suddenly I saw the castle clearer.
"Shall we?" I asked, gesturing towards the castle.
"Um... Actually I wanted to show you that the black fox is doing fine." He said, grabbing my hand and taking me through the dark part of the forest.
"Keeper, is there something about the prince you don't want me to know about?" I asked. He didn't answer but suddenly he stopped and looked down at me.
"Um... Well, you see... The queen gives the prince anything he wants so I'm afraid he'll want you." He said worried.
"Of course anyone would want me. I mean, just look at me." I said as I flipped my hair, smiled and posed.
"He has a heart of stone, and a soul made out of ice." The Keeper added.
"Maybe I can purify his heart." I suggested.
"Best if we did our business in the pantry." He suggested.
"To think that I finally learned your weird language." I said as I walked with him to the house of the black fox.
~Prince Alexander's POV
"Guards! I want nothing yet something, and everything but nothing, and that and this... NOW!" I yelled. I, the prince of Admireland should get everything. I rule around here so I should be treated like the prince I am. A card guard walked up to me and bowed.
"Your Highness. I give you this." He said, giving me a box. Inside the box was nothing.
"THIS IS'NT WHAT I ASKED FOR!" I yelled, throwing the box at the guard. I was 14 and yet, no one answered to my orders.
"Air is everything but yet nothing, Your Highness." He said bowing his head.
"I should have your head but I guess you're right. You're free to go." I said, shooing the guard away.
"Sweetie! I have a gift for you!" My mother said, coming into my throne room.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Here." She said, giving a large box to me. I ripped it open and found a joker springing out of the box.
"I'm The Wild-Card Joker." The joker said.
"Fantastic. Now, leave. Or, actually, on second thought entertain me." I said, a bit bored. The joker did tricks and stunts. It was okay but I wanted something else. Something I don't have or know.
~Winter's POV
I reached the black fox's house and looked at the doors all around the house.
"I think it's this one." I said, opening the door exactly 3.141592654 inches from the right.
"Feathers and friends together hello." Foxy said.
"Foxy!" I exclaimed, hugging the fox.
"Hello." The Keeper greeted. We went in and had a cup of tea. What else was there anyways? We stayed around to chat. I wondered about Prince Alexander.
"So, um, what do you think about Prince Alexander?" I asked Foxy.
"A cold stone heart within the cave of fears and force." He replied.
"Oh. Maybe I can purify it. Or maybe Queen Euphoria can." I added.
"Even though Queen Euphoria still lives in her palace, she cannot rule Admireland." The Keeper said as he looked down at the floor in sorrow.
"Oh." I sighed, looking down at the floor in sorrow as well.
"Don't worry, she'll rule again, one day." The Keeper reassured.
~Queen Euphoria's POV
"Angel, darling, are you alright? Perhaps you should rest." I said to one of my maids.
"It's alright your Highness. I'm fine." She responded.
"As you wish my dear." I responded. My evil sister ruled Admireland wickedly with her son Alexander while I wait for the day that I can return to my rightful place as the ruler of Admireland. I brought wonder and admiration to this land but my sister tried to destroy it. As long as my kingdom stays loyal to me, Admireland will always stay with happiness and admiration. *tears up* As long as I'm here she can't hurt anyone or anything.
"Your Highness, I have good news." My butler said, bowing.
"What is it Phillip?" I asked him, looking pure.
"I have been lead to believe that Winter Morgan has returned back to Admireland. If your sister learned of this..." He paused in worry.
"Yes, I know." I said, understandably. He sighed and walked away. When he left I sighed. What shall I do I thought to myself. I was worried. My sister can be, oh how should I say it... Violent with others. If she found out that Winter was back in Admireland, she'd be furious. I couldn't stand it if any of my subjects get hurt. *cries* I just wished she could rule with me.
