The Goblin Princess

Chapter 28

Little Veena stood silently as her father scolded the guard in front of him.

"How could you not notice that they were missing?"

The guard hung his head. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I truly thought the princes were in the nursery the entire time. I have no idea how they could have gotten past me."

Her father shook his head. "Those boys are in trouble now." He turned to look at little Veena. "Precious, do you have any idea where your brothers are? I'm surprised Fenris isn't with you."

She frowned. "He said he wanted to play with them and not me.

Her father sighed. "You are excused, Captain Emeric. I'll have to find my sons myself." He turned away from the guard. "Come along, Veena. I'll need your help in finding them."

The little princess nodded. "Okay, Daddy."

"Your Majesty, I would like to help find them. After all, they did escape on my watch."

Her father turned back to face him. "You may assist, Captain, if you wish."

The Captain nodded. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Daddy, I think I have an idea where they might have gone."

Slowly her father turned and knelt down in front of her. "Where would that be, Precious?"

The little princess smiled oh so sweetly. "Follow me." She turned from her father and began to skip down the hallway.

Chapter 28

Adam watched as the throne room of Castle Greyskull appeared before him. He glanced over at Veena as her staff slowly materialized in her hand.

"We need to either find the Sorceress or the others, and we need to do it fast." She glanced over at him frowning. "Don't you need to transform?"

Giving a slight nod, Adam pulled the Power Sword off his back. '"I just need a few moments to do it."

Veena nodded in return. "Go ahead I'll scout out what's going on." She turned to leave.

"You don't have to leave. You can stay, if you want to."

Veena looked over her shoulder back at him. "We need to find out what exactly is happening. The sooner the better." She turned around and walked out of the throne room.

Frowning, Adam looked down at Cringer. The green tiger looked up at him in return.

Sighing, he raised the sword above his head. "By the power of Greyskull!"

Veena quickened her pace as she walked towards the closet staircase leading up. The drawbridge had to be up and the gate locked. So the best course of action was to head up to the Castle's roof.

As she reached the door to the roof Veena could hear the fighting outside. Pushing the door open, she was greeted with the sight of Buzz-off and Stratos flying around Beast-man and a few griffins. Taking her eyes from them she quickly surveyed what was going on. Greyskull was being attacked from all sides. Well, all she could see, but they could be trying to dig into the Castle as well.

No one had noticed her yet, which she could use to her advantage. Holding her empty hand out towards Beast-man, Veena began to concentrate. Slowly, just like the Minotaur, the Griffin and its rider began to become encased in ice. The other griffins hectically tried to flee as the frozen rider and griffin fell from the sky.
