"Come this way," Queen Serenity led Charlie away from the path and Thunder followed. She led him to a massive clearing, then suddenly, Charlie saw it. A structure in the distance. It seemed as if the towers upon it were sharp black knives. Red flags waved with no wind, and a loud horn was sounded. "We need to go, Charlie!" The queen informed him. Charlie didn't move, but he continued to observe the fortress-like building. "Now!" And with that she grabbed his arm and started to run in the opposite direction. "What's wrong?" Asked the innocent Charlie as they were frantically escaping. "No time to explain, keep running!!" She commanded as she let go and stopped in her tracks. Charlie ran off a little ways, then stopped to look back, concerned for the queen.

     She looked towards the castle and unsheathed something from an invisible casing.

  A magic axe. The blade almost looked like a turquoise feather, and there was a beautiful gem on the bottom. Nothing Charlie had ever seen before. She stared evil into the eye, and stood her ground. She waited a second, and all was silent again. She smiled and put her weapon back, and turned to continue her journey. Then-ROOOOAAAAAR!! The ground shook like thunder, but...in a rhythm. Boom, boom. Boom, boom. Boom, boom.....Boom. She turned around to see a shadowy figure emerge from the fog and clouds. "Charlie!" The queen immediately lost all focus and searched for Charlie. "CHARLIE!!!" She couldn't find him anywhere. She began to hyperventilate. She looked behind her to see the cyclops getting closer by the second. "CHARLIE WHERE ARE YOU?!?!"

She dug through bushes, climbed in trees

She dug through bushes, climbed in trees. But to no avail.

   "SERENITY!!!" He screamed. That's weird. He sounded like he was in a high- oh god.. She turned to see Charlie being scooped up by the giant monster. He was flailing his legs and hopelessly punching the monster. But it was useless. He was so small compared to it.

   "CHARLIE!!" She cried. She pulled out her weapon and struck the ground. A wave of energy rippled through the earth, knocking the giant off its feet. The queen realized her immediate mistake. Charlie was going to die. She spun around with the axe, and leaves started to swirl around her in a tornado like form. Charlie watched from above, thinking, "the power of nature...??" And without another second waisted, she swung her weapon and pointed at the giant with it, and the current of air sped to the cyclops, and pushed it back on its feet. "You idiot!! Now it'll escape!!" Fussed Thunder. He grew more anxious as he watched the giant run off with Charlie into the darkness of the other side..
