Raising Councils Fall (discontinued/old)

Chapter 3: What Did I Get Myself Into?

   By the time me and Ethan calm Jaclyn down, there are no signs of Navoni. We looked all around the room, and we found nothing pointing us directly to her! But, we did find something those guards dropped, the only thing we could find was some sort of green and blue jewel. I picked up the jewel and thought about it. I asked Jaclyn if Navoni said anything about how to go through the mirror. "No, not really. but she did say something about a key to get to where she lives! Maybe that's the key?" said Jaclyn. Ethan took the jewel and stuck his hand through the mirror. " I think your right!" said Ethan. He placed the jewel on top of the mirror and went though. I followed after Jaclyn and we ended up in a place way different from earth (and on the ground). We got up and was blocked by two guards. "Who are you, where did you come from, what's your job here, and who sent you?" ask one of the guards. "we are from earth, my name is Elias and these are my friends Ethan and Jaclyn. we sent ourself and we're here to free Navoni!" I said with confidence. the guards were shocked, they asked us how we got here and how many other humans knew how to get here. We told them we were the only humans and asked them where we could find Navoni. "Sorry no Navoni here feel free to check the village. Just know you have till sundown to leave and to not tell anyone about this place!" They said. I didn't understand, why didn't they know the girl they took! then Jaclyn leaned over and whispered " they don't know her by that name stupid! That's the name you gave her! They know her by Tazzanna!" "I'm sorry I did not mean Navoni, I mean I want to set Princess Tazzanna free!" I stated. The guards look at us and took us to the biggest room of the castle. There we saw who I think was the king? About to touch Navoni's head, all while Navoni was chained and unable to use her hands. The king looked at us and approached us till Navoni said some sort of spell and a wall of fire appeared out of no where! Then we're teleported to Navoni's side, and boy let me tell you she was MAD! "I'm not letting you touch them! Your just going to hurt them like you were about to hurt me!" Navoni yelled across the room. At this point we're VERY confused but we did know one thing, Navoni was in danger. Although, we weren't in our world and we continplated weather we should stay or leave, but I had to do something! I cared too much about Navoni, I couldn't just leave knowing I could have done something to help her! I needed her, I loved her! And I knew if I didn't do something to save Navoni I might never get to see her again. The king stepped forward but Navoni just casted another spell. "Stay back! I won't let you even touch my friends!" Screamed Navoni. "If you 3 really are friends of Tazzanna than please help me save her. I promise I have no means in hurting her, I just want to save her." Pleaded the king. Navoni screamed "liar liar!" Over and over while chanting spells to keep the king back. The king pleaded back claiming that if we didn't help earth would be in grave danger. At this point we didn't know who to believe except one thing. We all had this feeling, almost an instinct, that if we didn't help earth would be in danger. But first we needed to know who we should believe. Navoni was gaged so she couldn't speak anymore spells, so of course, I asked the king first to tell us what was going on and why should we help. "Please help me when I tell you this: your friend, Navoni as you know her is under a spell! A few rises ago, a witch invaded my palace and took over my wife's body, corrupting her from the inside. Tazzanna and I tried to fight back the witch but it was too late! The witch gained full control of the queens body and used Tazzanna as a shield/puppet. She needed Tazzanna to get to earth and give humans magic so corruption can spread faster. I don't expect any of what I said to make sense but, please I need your help humans otherwise earth might become the center of darkness forever!" Proclaimed the king. We found that a weird story but right now anything goes I guess. I mean we came from a freakin portal into some magic world! Anythings believable at this point. "Alright that was weirdly believable in a strange way... Now let Navoni speak!" Said Ethan. Then out of the blues, a women with scratches and brushes all over her in torn to pieces dress came up from a dark stair case. "He is a liar, a complete liar! Oh my baby what have you done to her!" Said the lady. She rushed over to Navoni and released her from the chains and un-gaged her. "Mother! Fathers telling lies again to my friend from earth! You need to tell them the truth! Mother please help me!" Said Navoni. The queen stood up and told us that her husband has been abusing her daughter and he's been telling everyone the same story just as a cover up. Now hearing from both sides we huddled up to discuss who to believe. "I think we should believe the queen. Did you see the way Navoni was chained! No to mention how horrible the queen looks!" Said Jaclyn. "Well I have to agree with that! I mean does it really look like Navoni is being controled. Plus magic doesn't exist on earth! So how can humans spread corruption if we never even had magic." Argued Ethan. "Well let's really see if there is any signs of mind control. Usually there's either a mark somewhere or the eyes change in some form." I said. We told the to royals that we would like to inspect Tazzanna before we come to an agreement. Jaclyn looked on her body for marks, and there was none. Ethan asked her questions and all she answer correctly. Then last thing to check was her eyes and that was on me. I walked up to Navoni, my heart racing all the while. I got close to her face, real close. I looked at her square in the eyes. All of a sudden I had this yearn, a strong craving, to what I never wanted to do. I was so close to her face all I wanted was to just kiss her! But I refuted my craving and focus on her eyes. Her beautiful gold eyes. As I stared into them I could see and feel something or someone. Someone wanting to be free, wanting to get out of some sort of prison they were in. I had a feeling that person was Navoni. It wasn't just any feeling but a strong, powerful one! One I could not deni!
