Entering The Forbidden

Castle Guests

*Will*

I slowly blinked a few times, and heard people gasping. As I opened my eyes.
"What's you name?" Raziel asked staring down at me.
"Will. I told you earlier Raziel. Where are we? Is this the Eastern Elf castle? Did we get captured? Are you going to abandon me? Is Isadora still around? What happened?" I asked confused. I look around the room seeing neither of the elves, but seeing two new unfamiliar faces.
"Slow down. You are still very weak", the unfamiliar boy said from the end of the bed.
"We are in the kingdom of the Eastern Fallen. A race that descends from the angels that have fallen from heaven. We are closer to the Eastern Elven kingdom than we were when you blacked out. We are here on our own free will and the hospitality of the princess and the soon to be King. I'm not going to abandon you. Instead I'm taking you to your own kingdom. The Forbidden kingdom. Sadly our lovely fire obsessed princess friend is still around", Raziel told me. Saying the last sentence full of sarcasm.
"Well I would call myself lovely but not obsessed. I prefer the term dedicated to the purpose of fire. Destroying", Isadora said as if on cue.
"As I was saying", Raziel started glaring at Isadora, "you were shot by a Fallen archer and poisoned. We came here to get the antidote. But you weren't supposed to wake up for at least another day. It takes Fallen shorter periods of time to respond to antidotes. And they created both the poison and antidote."
"Well. That's cool. I guess", I reply trying to process everything.
"So. How ya feeling?", the prince asked.
"Tired. Dizzy and sore", I replied.
"Understandable", the Fallen Princess said deep in thought.
"And hungry. Is there any food?" I asked.
"Not at the moment. Princess here at it all", Raziel said glaring at what I assume was Isadora who was out of my line of sight.
"Well I'm sorry I like me. It's not my fault Feathers here made me start my day on veggies. Not meat like a proper warrior", Isadora said walking into my line of sight.
"Call me by my name!" The Fallen Princess said looking like she wanted to punch Isadora.
"Okay Fluteriana", Isadora replied with a deadly looking smile.
"The name is Viviana" the princess said.
"Cut it out", Raziel said. Giving Isadora yet another glare. This one looking more disapproving than angry.
"So what's the plan", I asked.
"For you-", Raziel cut off mid sentence, "Princess where are you going?" Raziel said looking like he was about to explode.
"Umm to train", Isadora said with a wild glint in her eyes, "come on Sky."
"Get back here now", Raziel said through gritted teeth. He looked like he hasn't slept for a couple days
"Nah. I'm bored", Isadora said. Then her and Skylar bolted out the door.
"I'm going to kill her", Raziel mumbled under his breath. Close enough to me so I could hear.
"I'll go after them", the Prince said flashing a smile.
"Thanks Vincent", Raziel said rubbing his face.
"Hurry Vincent. I want to still live in a castle tomorrow", Vivana said.
"Ok. I'll be back", Vincent said jogging out the door.
"I take it Isadora did something bad. So now you don't trust her", I said sitting up taking in the large room we were in. The room had a few chairs and a fireplace. There was two doors in the room. One led to the rest of the castle. The other was cracked and showed two beds in another room. Based on the pants on the floor I guessed Skylar and Isadora claimed that room.
"Yeah. For starters she followed us. Then she tackled me while I was trying to get Viviana to help you. Then she started a fire without permission getting Skylar burned", Raziel said.
"I'm tired", I said yawning. I barely processed what Raziel just said.
"That's right. You should rest", Raziel said as I drifted off to sleep.

"What in the world happened to you?" Raziel asked loudly. I opened my eyes to see Vincent ahead of me with his clothes torn and ash in his hair.
"Umm well that happened to me", Vincent replied pointing to Isadora. She was covered in ash from head to toe her clothes not torn.
"Are you okay Vincent", Raziel asked.
"Fine. Just dirty. And slightly bruised", Vincent replied wiping ashes from his hair.
"Go shower. Before anyone sees their future king looking defeated", Viviana said gesturing to the door. Once Vincent was out of the door Raziel dropped what was holding back his anger.
"Explain yourself Princess!", Raziel was close to yelling. Isadora stood calmly, with a foot on a chair cleaning her boot. Clearly fueling Raziel's anger.
"NOW!" Raziel didn't hold back from shouting. Skylar kicked Isadora when she didn't respond.
"Ow. Oh sorry you were talking to me? I'm currently not a princess considering I'm breaking the law. I will only respond to Isadora or Izzy", Isadora responded standing up straight taking her foot off off the chair.
"Just explain what just happened. And how you managed to shred an expert swordsman's clothes", Raziel repeated moving to sit down.
"Lets see I was in the training room having fun. They have awesome beams in there. They are like really thick. No like the skinny ones in our training room. They are like thick enough to sleep on, roll over and not fall off" Isadora said. Lost in her own mind.
"Get with the point", Raziel said.
"Well Mr.Muscles there walked in calling my name and saying that Raziel was going to kill me if I didn't come out. Blah blah bla. Meanwhile Sky and I were laying on those beams. So as he searched different places. We moved to the end of the beam. Now somewhat hidden by shadows I pulled out a bow that I found before climbing into the beams. I shot an arrow to above his head. By the way. Your bows are horribly weighted wrong. Plus the shoot way to the left", Isadora directed her last remark to Viviana.
"Well crossbow and swords are our real weapons of choice, plus Fallen bows are typically weighted to be shot while alooft or from concelment. And how did you get up to those beams. Only I can. And that's with my wings. Our expert climbers can't even get to them." Viviana replied with a glare.
"I could scale a smooth quartz wall. I have my ways. Anyway your faulty bow made the arrow hit a rack of spears. Which fell into the fireless fire place. Throwing ashes a all over near by Vincent. We then swung down from the beams. To face the unangered Prince. He then challenged me to a sword fight. If I won I would get to stay an extra hour. Clearly I won", Isadora continued on. Then I drifted back off to sleep. The last thing I heard was Raziel arguing with Isadora.
