Victubia: Potions, Princes and Pumpkin Carvers

Running from Victubia

DLIVE'S POV

I keep my hood up as I stare at Victubia. Such a beautiful castle. I wish I could live there. But of course that could never happen. After all I'm from a different kingdom, I'm being hunted for being a known magic user as well as for supposedly killing the king of my kingdom (who was my guardian and as I later found out, my father.)

I sigh as I turn away and start walking into the forest. That is until I hear someone call out to me. I freeze and struggle not to bolt into the forest.

"Sir, what is your business in this kingdom?" He asked.

Without looking back I say "Actually I was just leaving." I then cast a paralysis spell on him and turn around.

His eyes fill with dread as he sees my face. So the story of me killing the king has made it here. Dammit.

I walk over to the man and set him on the ground. I then whisper "sorry" and kick him in the head.

When I see he is unconscious I flee the area, releasing the paralysis spell.

I race through the forest, tripping over roots a few times, with my hood and cloak flying out behind me.

I soon hear shouts from soldiers and I run faster.

But I can hear the horses' hooves slapping the ground behind me and know I won't be fast enough.

I nearly fall flat on my face from tripping over a tree root. In that short moment, the horses have nearly caught up to me.

I run faster than ever before. I few twigs on the trees slap my face, drawing blood, but I ignore them.

I have to get out. I can't get caught.

I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder which stops me in my tracks. I'm breathing heavily and it feels like my lungs are on fire.

Oh god. I've been caught. They'll jail me. They kill me.

I try to get out of the strong grip, but it only results in it tightening.

You might be wondering. Why aren't I using my magic?

I refuse to use it to hurt innocent humans. Even if they will kill me, they are just following orders.

As I panic, the man gets off his horse, somehow still holding my shoulder, and turns me around.

He looks at my face before nodding at the men behind him. He seems to say something but all I can hear is the blood pounding in my ears.

The men get off their horses. Most go to me, but a few seem to go back in the kingdom's direction.

That is the last thing I see before I black out.

MINX'S POV

I am currently in court, when a knight bursts in and tells me a magic user has been spotted using magic on another knight.

I normally leave the magic users to the knights to jail and then exile. But if one attacks a subject of mine I immediately jump into the action.

I run out of the room, my dress luckily short enough that I don't trip on it.

I hop on a horse and start galloping, following the knights.

We head towards the forest and I see Yamimash on the ground, with a few other knights helping him.

I race past and see the magician. He is wearing a royal blue cloak which is bellowing out behind him.

The man is running fast, but our horses are faster. Soon we catch up. I see Markiplier reach out and grab the magic user's shoulder.

He gets off the horse and turns the struggling magic user around.

I gasp at what I see. It is the old ward of King Gwaine of the Derengale kingdom.

A few cuts are bleeding on his face but other than that, there is no question that this is the old royal.

The one who killed his king.

He seems panicked and with good reason. He is a known magic user and murderer.

I start going closer and then I see the young ex ward of King Gwaine collapse.
