-- Meanwhile In Dark World--
-(Ludwig's POV)-
I sat at my desk, looking down at the blank composition paper furiously. Why can't I think of a new composition?! Is it because I'm overworking myself? No, that's not it! I decided to take a walk around to clear my head.
Running a hand through my hair, I stood up and walked towards my door. Opening the door, I looked around to see if anyone was around, apart from guards, no one was around. I close my door and turn left down the torch-lit corridor. I never understood why Bowser always had torches instead of lights, I guess he preferred the old-fashioned look. Putting my hands in my pockets, I walked a little further, huffing at my racing mind.
What is Bowser's plan for kidnapping the Princess? How's he going to do it? Will he *eventually* defeat Mario? I shook my head silently, he always fails. It would be nice to finally defeat Mario, though. As I continued walking, I heard sounds of someone running, followed by screaming.
"I'll kill you, Iggy!" Turning around, I see my frantic brother running toward me, colliding with me, thus sending me cascading to the floor.
"Ow! Why did you do that Iggy?!" I screamed, clutching my head that hit the floor. He looked down at me with fear flowing his face.
"S-sorry, bro! But she's gonna k-kill me!" He answered, breath hitching and cracking. I pat his back in comfort.
"It's okay. Now, why is Wendy after you?" I asked calmly, despite the pain in my head. Iggy gulped, his glasses falling slightly.
"I-I accidentally smashed her compact. I was using it to reflect light and I dropped it by accident! I didn't m-m-mean to!" He said, a single tear falling out of his usually wide eyes. I sighed, typical Wendy. Remembering our situation, I spoke.
"Uh, Iggy? You can get off me now." He opened his eyes, and scrambled to get up, helping me up in the process. "Thank you. Now, as for Wendy, try explaining it to her that it was an accident, maybe offer to get her a new one, even though she has loads." As if by chance, I hear her slightly heeled shoes click on the floor rapidly. Turning around, I see her walking toward me, anger visible in her features.
"THERE HE IS! Why in the HELL did you break my compact?!" She shrieked, glaring at Iggy. Remembering I was there, she turned to face me. "By the way, Bowser wants to see you."
"Why?" I asked, confusion displayed on my face.
"About his new plan, I think." She replied, turning to face Iggy again. I mouthed a 'Good luck.' to Iggy before heading to the throne room, where Bowser usually was.
On the way, my mind was racing. Why did he want to see me? Was Wendy right? Did it have to do with kidnapping the Princess? As I got to the oversized doors, I started to feel very nervous. I knocked the door softly and heard a grunt of "Come in." So I pushed the doors open.
Bowser was there, sitting in his throne, his head resting in his hand impatiently. "What took you so long, Ludwig?" I gulped, but kept my cool. Keeping my head down, I spoke.
"Sorry, your Highness, Wendy had only just told me that you wanted to speak with me." Looking back up, he had a look of understanding on his face. Standing up, he walked down the red carpeted stairs that led to his throne and spoke.
"So, as you can well enough see, we haven't been successful in kidnapping Princess Peach. All because of 'you know who'." He said, saying 'you know who' as if it were poison.
"Mario, of course." I said, furrowing my brows a bit. He nodded.
"Yes. but this time, I have an entirely different plan." He said, smirking. Why did I have a bad feeling about this?
"What is it?" I asked, a little wary. He started to pace a little.
"Well, as you may or may not know, Peach has a sister whom we haven't heard of recently because she's been unknown to the world for a short amount of time. But recently, she's making a name for herself, not only being Peach's loved sister, but performing for the Mushroom Kingdom, singing, acting, dancing the lot." I knew very little on Peach's sister, I don't even know what she looks like! I look over at Bowser again, who's smiling deviously. "I'm saying, you drug her after her performance tomorrow, while I handle Peach, and we send Mario far away!" By now, he's even rubbing his hands together.
Hmm, a prisoner of my own. Sounds interesting. She could be my slave, constantly doing my bidding- Wait! What am I thinking?! I don't even know the girl! What if she's really young?! I decided to speak up.
"Uh, may I ask a few things?" Bowser turned to face me, seriousness radiating off of him like heat.
"Go ahead, Ludwig?" I clear my throat, that had suddenly gone dry.
"H-how old is she? What does she look like? What even is her name?" I asked him all at once. He took out his wand from his coat pocket, and flicked it, chanting.
"Princeps ostende mihi!(Show me the Princess!)" ((yes, i know its latin. sorry if its incorrect, i leanred very ittle latin.)) In front of me shown an image of the girl. She had long (H/C) hair, bright (E/C) eyes, and soft (S/C) skin. She looked kind of attractive- whoa now! When did this come about?! I haven't even met her yet! Bowser hummed loudly to get my attention. Snapping back to reality, I look back at him.
"I do not know her name. But I do know she's eighteen years of age." Bowser swished his wand, and the image was gone. He smiled at me evilly. "So, what do you say?"
"I'm in." I said darkly.

Here's another one in the bag! I'm sorry if this was a late update (To UK time, anyway) but I didn't want to not update today. So in this story, all spells mentioned will be in latin, and I'll put the english translation in brackets next to it. Also, this chapter happens when the last one happened.
So as of today, 23rd of may 2017, people might have heard that a bombing occurred last night, 22nd of may, at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. This morning, it was 22 dead and 59 injured, later on that day it wss reported 26 were now dead and 55 injured. Now, I don't live in england, but it has shaken me and my friends a little. My school has a reputation for making the best out a bad situation. In other words, they try to keep everyone smiling when something like this happens.
Not this time.
The entire school felt so bleak it was like playing yandere sim and having the school's atmosphere at 0% ((google image search that its not scary)) and thats how the atmosphere felt in a picture. So yes, that is why I didn't update till later on tonight. My heart goes out the families who have lost or nearly lost someone. I'm so sorry you had to experience being there.
guys, stay safe please! Hashtag PrayForManchester (I have no hashtag button, bloody macbook.))
see you guys in the next update,
