Chapter 9: Arrows actually can hurt the heart

As I walk down the Halls following the path of the instructions my father gave me I noticed I looked all around there was a lot of paintings.

And guess who they are of well... the Queen of course it is said that she loves herself she can't have one room without a picture, mirror, or portrait of herself. Yep that bitch is selfish I mean her people are so poor they can't do anything for themselves they're starving everyday. I wish I could go down there and see them I could probably magically make them food course but there's a price for every time I use Magic but we'll get into that later.

As I reach the third door where my father told me to stop at I knocked waiting for an answer. But there was none nothing at all it was dead silent so I knocked again. Still no response I know I followed my dad's instructions pacifically. I tried one last time something's really wrong he still didn't answer.

So I know I'm going to regret this but I open the door. To peer into room that was quite simple this must be his Fourier had a couch and has lots of lots and lots and lots of bookshelves full of books there must be thousands in here hundreds Millions I'm not exaggerating here. As I stepped into the room I noticed a smell smell like fire another kind of burning fire just the fireplace and I noticed a door that was creaked open I could see a fireplace lit now I knew someone was here.

But as usual I got sidetracked I walked over to the bookcases and picked out the book biggest book that caught my eye. I love reading books they're just so enchanting to me. As I picked up the book it was smooth on the surface it has no picture or title on the front of least it looks so familiar like I've held this book before. As I trended to its side I noticed a title 'Heroes and warlocks thorns and roses' by... Me but this cannot be possible I've made so many books in my life I wrote them all down on a list and I still keep that list with me.

But then I heard coughing sound like someone was choking and gagging yeah I know what that sounds like but not in the way you think.

As I set the book down on a little in table. I walked over to the door that had a brass knob for the doorknob and painted with a interesting symbol I didn't recognize it. But I'll figure that out later I open the door and what I saw horrified me it was literally like someone whet into my soul and started to twist it. The General is laying on the ground not breathing well he's chest wasn't going up and down and all he was covered with was a towel nothing was showing but I immediately went over to him and put my head next to his chest listen for a heartbeat I heard nothing I really started to panic. Yes I know what you're thinking why aren't I using my magic when my nerves are shot I can use my magic when I'm scared which I am definitely right now.

So I searched everything into the bottom of my heart and I yelled make sure that everyone down hallways could hear me.

"Help me I need help someone get in here now." That's all the magic I can muster for now to Echo my voice.

In seconds I started hearing footsteps running towards the room then the door burst open. An incoming two maids and a guard I did not recognize but the guard who was also female.

"What is it master what is wrong..." Oh most high pitched voice stop dead in it tracks once they walked into the second room. They noticed the General on the floor. (Just so you know every servant and guard has to call no matter anyone they meet master it's just a traditional thing here the queen likes so she decree it long ago.)

There face got twisted up after this all the general.

But I didn't waste any time.

"Obviously you can see there's something wrong now here's what I need you to do you need to go down to the healers Outpost in the castle and give me these specific ingredients do not get them wrong 'wyverns Tale, Banshee essence, red dust, Crush Emerald dust and a paw of a dead dog. Do not make a mistake I also need you go down and get me three towels and an ice cold bucket of water with ice in it do you understand me." That's was all I said and they left in an instant to do the task there mean to carry out.
