Royalty

Chapter 4: A new student

There is one thing all kings have in common, they rule. Some formally, some rule for real. King Phantom belonged to the second category. And seventeen years old teen was trying his best for his citizens, despite some groups' dislike. He had a help of Clockwork and Frostbite. The first one because he won't advise anything bad, the second because he himself was a ruler. Frostbite was a huge yeti like ghost, with his right hand being made entirely from ice, with his bones seen inside of it.

"So, to put it bluntly, we don't even have a proper map?" Phantom asked, sitting on his chair. They were in a big room, with oval table in the middle. Its purpose was for meeting with advisors and king's own cabinet. Frostbite and Clockwork were sitting by two sides of him, while Phantom occupied the main one. Frostbite nodded.

"Indeed, Great One," Frostbite insisted on calling Danny like that, despite the fact that he preferred to be called by name, "We can create it, but we should start from somewhere," Phantom tapped with his fingers on the obsidian table.

"Use Infi-Map and make its copy," he finally decided.

"I'm afraid that this will be fruitless, Daniel," Clockwork commented, changing into elder form, "The Infi-Map is an ancient artifact. Therefore, it will be useless as...map," Time Master chuckled, "A lot of things have changed since then."

"So we can travel in time and don't have a simple map," Phantom deadpanned, rubbing his stubbled chin. He hummed in thought, "Still, do you have it with you?"

"Yes, I have it right here," Frostbite took the metal case and put it on the table. He was curious what his friend and ruler had in mind. Frostbite opened the scroll.

"Show me the Royal Palace," Phantom ordered and the Map's image started to twist before getting the shape and showing him what he wanted, "Alright, the Palace is on the map already," he muttered, scrutinizing the image, "I need a map of at least 50 miles around it," Phantom said to Frostbite, who nodded, "then do the same with the closest Realms. We will take care of everything in between later."

"Great One, you are forgetting something," Frostbite reminded, making the king raise his white eyebrow, "You need the Realms leaders' agreement for this. You have mine, of course," Danny smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Frostbite. As for others, we will discuss about this on the next Council meeting. You can start already, no need to waste time"

"Daniel," he turned to Clockwork, "there is also another matter to discuss about. Are you going to do something about your Human World territories?" Phantom looked somewhere on a distance.

"And what should I do? Humans despise everything I'm doing in Amity Park."

"That's why you need to show them your friendly intentions," Clockwork said calmly as he changed into adult.

"They thought I'm evil even when I daily risked my afterlife for them!" Phantom said exasperated, before his neon eyes widened as sudden thought occured in his mind.

"Call Walker in here."

Sam was ready to jump in joy. Danny had somehow managed to fake the birth certificate and other needed papers, she didn't understand why humans needed them, though. He even got her a few needed books. She was currently waiting for Danny outside of his house. They thought up a sheme to make it look like she wasn't coming through the portal. Sam jumped slightly when she heard a door closing behind her. Danny came to her with a smile on his face.

The mere sight made Sam smile too, Ember told her that she got a crush, and though reluctant, she admitted it. Maybe because he is actually the first boy she met, who was only a bit older than her, maybe because he is very cute...
