the devils throne

The New Beggining...

I woke up to someone knocking on my door. As a light sleeper I was easily awoken. I groaned and got up and opened the door. On the other side of the door was my friend James. "James? What are you doing here?". He frowned and looked over my shoulder at my bed. "Tch.You've been reading that book a again. You know your father doesn't like magic.". I looked over my bed and saw the book Maria gave me. Maria is the old women in the village. The only one alive from the magic age. "That's why he doesn't know I know magic." I walked to my bed and his the book in my drawer." Now please tell me why you are here." He changed his expression, he looked sad now. "Oh..so  your bestfriend isn't aloud to see you..ok I see how it is". He turned away and started crying. Oh so I thought." James..no it's just..aww don't cry-". He started laughing and he was crying....out of laughter. "HaHahhaha! Oh Skye, did you really forget practice. Your father was pretty upset you didn't show. Was about to come here himself. But I as the best friend volunteered to go instead." My eyes widen and I looked at the clock. "Oh my gawd! I'm late!". He made a ' no duh' face as I Ran to my drawer. I quickly changed to a shirt and pants. James covered his face as I was changing. "Dude..you could have told me you were changing.". Once I finished dressing I grabbed his arm and Ran out the door dragging him behind. "Ah! Skye my arm!" He yelled at me half way there and I stopped. "Sorry did I hurt it...". He  rubbed his arm and stared at me. "Yeah I think you dislocated it..gawd you did have to run out." I sighed and patted his head." If you had a father like mine, you would have ran as well.". We started walking through the market area. A shortcut to the training area. " well I do not have a father like you, I have a farmer as a father.". I laughed and held his arm. James was like a brother to me. He's always been there for me. If I ever lost him I don't know what I'll do. We walked for a few more minutes and then we arrived at the training camp. I let go of James and scanned the area for my father. He was at the archery area. I love the archery area. I'm pretty good at it. I walked over to my father and hesitated to talk. "Your late Skye. Why is that?" He spoke without looking back. My father allways new when someone was behind him. And he always knew who. No matter what. It's like he has a set of eyes behind his head. "I-I over slept...o couldn't fall asleep. And ended up sleeping late. I'm sorry". He sighed and turned to me. His eyes soften and he gave me the bow. "Just don't be late okay...". He said that and walked off. What just happened...hes Usally very strict. Now he's like a grizzly bear turned to a teddy bear. I stared at the bow in confusion. I eventually started shooting arrows at the targets. I started thinking.'My father has green eyes., my mis are different though. But since I was adopted by them, I look different. They have dark brown hair, and my mom eyes are hazel and my dad's green. But me, I'm completely different. I have strawberry blonde hair and icy blue eyes. They gave me the name Skye because when they went to the North pole for trading when they were younger. They took care of a hurt polar bear cub. And it had icy blue eyes.  They named it sky. Cause the color of the sky was the same that day'. My thoughts were interrupted by the voice someone calling my name. "Skye Everhart? Is Skye Everhart here?". I turned away from the targets and saw one of the kings knights. I hesitated but made my presence known." T-That would be me. How can I help you sir?". James was by my side right away. I felt safer knowing he was here. You see, no one messes with the kings knights. And if they look for you it's either something good....or bad." The king wants you at his castle immediately.". I went cold for a few moments, until my fathetr spoke." Skye don't worry. You did nothing wrong. If it makes You feel better James can come along. Right?". The knight nodded. James squeezed my hand. I guess he was scared too. "Now let a hurry. The king is awaiting.". We missed slowly and proceeded to walk to the castle.

      **TIME SKIP**

We arrived at the castle. But something didn't feel right.' Dad didn't seem worried at all. Does he know something I don't?'. We walked into a huge room, there awaited the king. There was knights surrounding the exits, and two men and another women. We walked in front of the king and bowed. "Your highness I was told you wanted to speak to me?". "Yes. But may I ask why you brought your friend along?". He pointed at James. I saw James face grow red from the attention."I hope it's alright. I felt a bit uncomfortable coming here alone so I brought him with me.". The king sighed and nodded slowly." Its alright. But he cannot reapeatd anything that has beensaud here.". "Of course sir. He won't tell a soul". My heart was racing. I didn't even know what was going on.'iys okay Skye. You've dealt with scarer things before.' "I am guessing you don't know why you are hear. Which is good I told your parents not to say anything to any one. Epically you children.". 'So no one else knows what is going on?' "Now let's get right to the point. Something special was stolen from the land of tookoku. The devils throne. The devils throne is a item that hold all the most evilist creatures ever defeated. We hold a ritual every year that makes sure they do not escape. But unfortunately, it has been stolen." 'Stolen. A deadly thing was stolen..what does that have to do with us...unless..' I could feel my skin get pale. Paler the  it already is. The king continued on, my heart beating faster." To retrieve it we need power ful warriors from the four kingdoms of tookoku. This is were you four come in.". 'I knew it....but how am I powerful?'. "You four have separate abilities that when combined can destroy the creatures in devils throne. Now you see, we know who stole it. It was an evil man. His name is Scar.(don't judge I'm not good with names) and he is a power ful wizard. Who sadly uses his magic for evil."'magic....i guess Maria isn't the only one'. "We will give you a map and we want you to retrieve the devukd throne....now I will allow you to pack some things. You have 30 minutes.". 'Isnt this too sudden...i guess I have no choice.' He dismissed us and me and makes went back to my house to pack my things.

               *my house*

I started packing clothing that would be good for adventuring. I opened my drawer and stared at the spell book. Then I heard the door open. "Skye you have five more minutes before we leave back to the castle.". It was James."okay...im almost done.". I shoved the book in my bag. I got my journal and my pencil and put it in as well. I put the bag over my shoulder and walked out the door. James was waiting for me. We stared at each other for a bit and then we hugged tightly." Ima miss you James....". I could feel tears starting to form on my eyes." Ima miss you too Skye...be safe..". We separated from our hug. James father wanted him to help out in the farm. I told him it was okay.. so ima go to the castle alone. I slowly walked to the door and waved him goodbye. I walked out the door and sighed. "Isn't this too sudden....why would they keep this a secret from us.". I started walking to the castle. Then I started running. I didbt know why...but my legs just started moving faster and I ended up running all the way to the castle.

I hope you guys like it...i hope this story doesn't feel to rushed. Have any suggestion on what I could do better? Please tell me I would love to hear. ^^
