A Miraculous World

Prisoner

Deep below the castle grounds a dungeon that was built to hold some of the most dangerous criminals to ever roam the streets of the kingdom.

Those who wrong the laws of the kingdom are sentenced to a lifetime in this prison or are put to death the very next morning.

Why would the King allow such a horrid punishment? Well....he didn't.

As the Kings trusted advisor Hawkmoth was the one in charge of the judicial decisions made throughout the Kingdom, his only order was that he received the Kings permission to make any final decisions, such as the death penalty.

Sadly, with the King under Hawkmoths control half the time, it did not make it hard to convince him.

Currently bound to the wall by chains, Adrien was struggling to get free. He pulled and tugged with all his might straining his arms in the process.

"I can't believe it!" He shouted in the empty cell. "She was the princess the whole time. The princess!"

He gave up trying to free himself for a moment as he leaned his head back against the wall and groaned. "I must've sounded so stupid to her..."

"Maybe, I mean you sound stupid to me all the time."

Adrien looked up to see Plagg coming through the only window letting light in the entire dungeon from the top.

Ignoring his rude remark Adrien was happy to see the small kwami. "Plagg! Get me out of here!"

The cat floated down and sat on the blonde's knee. "No 'please'? That's not very polite of you. Although I might consider letting you out for some cheese."

"Plaaaaaagg!"

"Okay okay fine. Sheesh." The kwami flew up to the locks binding the boys wrist and spoke to him as he made a move to unlock it. "So....you and Marinette huh?"

"Man...she really was something." Adrien sighed. "But...she's the princess Plagg, which means she has to marry a prince soon."

Once Plagg unbinde the blonde's wrist, Adrien put his arms down and began to rub them.

"Who am I kidding? I never had a chance with her to begin with." He leaned back against the wall. "I'm just a street rat."

"But all that can change dear boy." From the other side of the dungeon a figure came limping out of the shadows.

Plagg hid inside Adrien's vest as the blonde looked on at the old man. "Who are you?"

"I'm just a lone prisoner such as yourself." The man spoke as he came into the light. His back was hunched over and he held a stick that he seemed to be using to keep his balance. "What if I told you that there was a temple? A temple that could grant you more than enough riches to impress your princess?"

Adrien looked skeptical at the man "A temple you say?"

The old man nodded.

"Okay so let's say there is a temple. Why are you telling me?"

"I need someone with strong legs and back to go in for the treasure I'm searching for." He emphasized by poking his legs with his walking stick.

"Okay..." Adrien was intrigued by this. If the man words were true, these riches could give him a high enough status to pose as a prince. He could see Marinette again....and maybe..just maybe..he could even marry her?

Once the thought came to his head he blushed a deep scarlet at the thought of the beautiful girl. He HAD to see her again.

"Okay I'll do it, but how do we even get there? We're trapped in here."

The man shook his finger at the boy as he made his way over to the side of the dungeon. Using his stick he pushed a loose rock out of the way revealing a hidden passage way leading to the outside.

"Things aren't always what they seem."

Adrien made sure Plagg was comfortably tucked in his vest as he followed the old man out of the dungeon and into the desert.
