The Lost Princess of Majestinia

Chapter 3

grabbing her arm as he pulled her through the portal...

The instant the portal closed, Annabeth and Max arrived in the middle of a dark forest. Annabeth still shaken up about the men entering her room, she cries on Max's shoulders while giving him a much-needed hug. Understanding how she must be feeling Max said,

  Max," I know you're scared about what happened right now, but we are safe here. My ancestors helped create this dimension. Welcome to Majestinia Anna." 

he said with a sad but reassuring way.

Annebeth knew that Max a warlock of some sort but never thought that his family would create a hidden world. Why else anyways? earth was home to Annabeth for as long as she could remember. While they walked through plenty of trees and what seemed like woods, Annabeth couldn't help but question the men in her room,

  Anna," Who were those people? Max what the heck happened! What happened back there!?" 

Max knew that Annabeth would be asking questions, but at the moment he only cared for them to be in a safe place just in case the men where to appear. Although Max's ancestors created Majestinia, evil always finds its way to get to great places.

  Max, "Come, I know you want some answers but I can't just give them to you just yet. Let's just get out of the woods first, I'll explain later, but now is not the time."  

Understanding Max's words Anna followed behind as Max walked ahead. It seemed as if they walked for hours until the woods became to disappear as they came across a beautiful large mansion surrounded by gates and guards. Annabeth questioned why a mansion would be in the middle of the woods. Asking Max,

  Anna," What is a mansion doing in the middle of the woods?" 

Answering her question Max laughed and answered,

  Max," It's mine" 

Annabeth couldn't believe her eyes, the mansion was of at least two floors and had a big fountain past the entrance as well as stairs leading to the entry. 

  Anna, "Wow, it's so beautiful Max! " 

Both continued to walk towards the gates of the mansion as Max lead the way. As they approached the gate towards the mansion two guards stood foot. One guard walked up to Max.

Guard, "Hey! Good to see you Maximus! Good to see you again! How's it been?!" 

The guard had a uniform on with a  flower and vine coat of armor with gears along with armor and weapons at his belt. Replying to the guard Max said, 

Max, "Not so good right now Henry... it's just been a heck of a ride today."  

Henry," No problem sir! Especially with the long walk from the woods, you both must be very exhausted."  

Henry looked at an exhausted Annabeth wondering who she was.  

Henry, "Hello there! what's your name?" 

Annabeth almost answered Henry when Max decided to cut her off.

  Anna, "My name..."

Cutting Annabeth off Max said,

  Max, "None of your concern right now, ill be sure to discuss it with you later on when your shift is over. Make sure to lock the gates and keep a lookout, something bad is coming. Contact me if anything."

Anna looked back at Max with a questioning look. 

With a nod, Henry finally opened up the gates as they slammed into the stone walls. Both Anna and Max walked into the entrance. Passing a fountain towards the doorstep of the mansion as Max took out a pair of keys as the front door was suddenly opened by a maid. Annabeth grew reassured of the mansion being his as the maid came in to view. Opening the door,
