The Princess and the Prince (BMC Royalty AU)

The Request

To say the queens were in a panic would be easiest way to put it. The queens were in absolute hysteria about their son being kidnapped. Queen Erin was sitting on her throne while queen Penelope was pacing around in front of her in tears.

"What if they're too late and our son is a shadow being for life?! Our poor sweet Micha!!!" Penelope sobbed. Erin went to her and hugged her.

"Shhh it's going to be ok. We sent every single Knight to get our son back, they will succeed..." Erin told her calmly. Penelope nodded her head when she heard the sound of a trumpet, they were returning! Penelope and Erin rushed to the balcony seeing their small army returning...but none looked happy. They ran down to see the leader of the knights helping nurses take his knights to get help.

"Sir Connor! What happen?!" Erin asked him worried.

"I'm sorry your highness, but we could not succeed. His army was too powerful..." He said holding his arm in pain. Penelope cried into Erin's arms, while she comforted her she looked to the knight.

"Put out a call for anyone in any near by kingdom to help save our son, please!" Erin pleaded with him. The knight nodded his head and left to send messengers out to tell of the queens distress.

In a kingdom not far from theirs, lived a small family, a king, queen, and their son. Their son was a brave and valiant hero to many, and pure of heart. His name was Jake. He always hung around the other knights and some keepers of the castle such as Jeremy and Rich.

Jake was in the foyer talking with Jeremy, a knight, and Rich, a knight in training under Jeremy, when a young woman ran in worried. "Your Highness thank goodness I ran into you! I have received an urgent letter from the Kingdom of Solstice!" She told him.

"What! Give me the letter, Martha." He took the letter from the woman  and started to read it.

"To whomever receives this letter, the Queens of Solstice need help, their son, Prince Michael has been kidnapped by the agents of the Kingdom of Shadows. Please, our knights were not strong enough to save him, we need as much help as possible. Come to Solstice as soon as possible if you think you may be of any service. Sincerely, Sir Connor"

Jake couldn't believe his eyes, their son? Kidnapped by the agents of Shadows?! What could they want with their son? Jake looked to Rich and Jeremy, then turned to Martha. "Tell my parents, we are going to the kingdom of Solstice to help in their aid." he told her. She nodded her head and ran off while Jeremy and Rich followed Jake.

"Your Highness, is this really the best idea? No one has ever been able to take on the Kingdom of Shadows and not be injured or killed in the process!" Rich exclaimed as Jake got his armor on.

"Their son is in danger, and if the King of Shadows does something, their son could end up exactly like how the Kingdoms of Trebushy and Lillianta ended up, gone and destroyed. Solstice is a small kingdom, but important to many kingdoms ecosystems, if they fall, many more will follow..." He said Jake getting on his horse. Jeremy looked to him.

"Then I am going with you." Jeremy said. He got on his horse, Rich followed getting on his.

"I am your Knight in training, and your friend Jake, so of course i'm going with." He smiled to Jake.

"Then lets hurry." Jake said leaving the stables on his horse with the other two following behind.

Michael soon awoke in an unfamiliar room. He immediately shot up from his bed looking around the small room he was in. Was what happen...was that not a dream? (Nightmare more like it...) he hoped off the bed hearing a chain rattle. He looked to his leg and saw a chain around his leg, connecting to the bed. He walked a little before being pulled back by the chain. Not very long...but long enough to walk to the window near by. He looked out the window, he couldn't believe it. The infamous kingdom of shadows...it was just like he heard about, dark, destroyed and full of no life...he backed away in fear tripping over the chain. He hit the ground slightly. "Ow...what...what am I doing here?!" He panicked. He could hear laughter in the room. "W-who's there?!" Three shadows appeared laughing.
