It is 12:30 pm, I am walking to the grand plaza at King Nodnard's castle. I'll hope for the best at our grand celebration, because this time we are celebrating our strength for the long path we went through trying to save our lives from descending. You want to know why I'm here? What the hell I'm talking about? Well... here's the story: It started at princess Mystaira's castle, and we were celebrating our something - something year anniversary. I can't tell you how long this place has been alive. Anyways, Mystaira brings life to Mystairia by magic, and time. Without her, we would be dead. Without us, there would be no Mystairia. So, back to the story I was talking about:
I knee down to the princess. " Thanks for bringing life to Mystairia, we've gotten so far " I said. " You're welcome my child. I wouldn't be here if you weren't here. " I walked away in happiness and freedom. Knowing that I'm alive and happy. Everyone was dancing, celebrating, and having the time of their lives in the grand plaza. Do you want to know why we celebrate? Well here's the thing... Each year more citizens are born and alive. Some citizens are the chosen ones like Mystaira. Currently in our land, the only way to know if you are the chosen one, is if you are important, and have magical powers. After that, they become king or queen, or even have possible access to the outside territories. but no one knows the real reason why you are chosen, if there is one.
" Hello, my fellow citizens " The King shouts. Everyone whips their head towards his face, with a cheerful smile. " Thanks for joining us today for our celebration. But most of all, we would love to thank our princess for life and time. She has been our number one chosen one these past years! "
" My pleasure King Nodnard, it's my strength and my powers are natural. I've never been this happy to see you people grow, and take in this chance to see sights, colors, and sense the sweet smell of progress, and victory! " everyone cheers and throws the confetti down the isle as Princess Mystaira walks the path. Walking, I see the princess limp across the isle. Randomly, something has happened that is odd to me. She was barely breathing like Darth Vader was using the force to choke the death out of her. I thought to myself, what the hell is going on? This isn't normal. The king runs out to her as I stare.
" Oh my god, what the hell happened? We need help! Someone please help us! "
The sky turns dark gray. The clouds roll in leaving the sun alone behind the darkness.
A mysterious person walks in leaving bloody footprints. Laughing evil, " you don't need help. I'll take care of everything. Now move it, hungry fools " " The mysterious person says.
" Maligorthe! You shouldn't be here, now scramble! " King Nodnard replies.
" I'm not just going to leave! I need your life, land, and Princess. That's all I need from your slaves. You've had this land for millions of years, and now it's my turn to have your precious land. I have never seen colors and beauty. I can't unless you give me your land! Or else the Princess will die, I have her power and let's see... You'll die as well. Now see you later slaves! " Maligorthe vanishes with the Princess, leaving nothing but sadness. Everyone screams, and cries for help like burning lobsters on a stove.
" Calm down people! Screaming won't help! We need real help, a hero, someone who's brave enough to leave and go on a journey to save our Princess Mystaira from dying. She's the only hope who keeps us alive. Not only that, but we love her. She's our family. She's been like a mother to us all. " As he talks, I walk up to my friends Theelia and Bellatrix, and glance at them as well as the king.
I stood afraid but I was brave. " We'll find Maligorthe and defeat his power, as well as himself. We'll disintegrate the hour glass from pouring drops of time. "
The king stood in suprise. " That's very kind of you, but you're too young. Probably not enough experience, we need someone very, very brace. "
" I-I'm being serious... king. " For five seconds I was thinking what am I doing? But this could be an opportunity for me to leave this territory. Everyone has a story. I have a boring one. I know there's something inside me that's always been there. It's not showing though. I know there is because, know one would ever face Maligorthe. I spoke again. " I am really being serious. No one else would do it. Besides, you can't judge people by their age. "
" How old are you though? " the king replied.
" I-I unfortunately don't know. " I scratched my neck, sounding like a retard.
" Wait, no no no. Me and Bellatrix didn't even said we wanted a say in this. We aren't brave enough, we will never stand a chance against his powers. " Theelia replied.
" You are brave, I believe in you two. If you really love, or want something that is important to you, you'll do whatever it takes to earn it, and I believe that the Princess is important to you. "
" Sirius, you are right, Mystaira is important to us. Without her, we'd be dead. I say we are in it to earn it! " The crowd cheers in happiness although scared to death.
King Nodnard looks back at me. " Ok kid, fine. But don't let us down, Mystaira is our only chance, Now, You and your friends need to head to Maligorthe, defeat him, break the magical hourglass, and take the sand from the hourglass. Then you need to finally take the Princess and the sand back home. I'll tell you what to do from there. Now hurry kid, before she passes away on us... "
I glance at my friends and say, " Don't worry, we won't let you down... Not on our only hope. "
