The Legend of Mordecai : The Star Warrior (3)

Chapter 20: A single step

      "What do you mean they came?! They would never dare enter our land or any other kingdom's for that matter!" King Cosmos rants in a sudden panic.
      Queen Star sighs and rolls her eyes "Our nephew is in danger and you're more concerned about that?!"
      Angel looks around, eyeing both her parents. A sudden rush of anger bursts through her and she rushes out the doors. She was going to take charge and find Mordecai before it was too late.

      Dust pokes his head out from behind a bookshelf. The two Starlight kingdoms rulers were starting to argue and he didn't have time to eavesdrop.
      The ferret swiftly rushes out doors,  searching for Angel. He skids to a halt and catches a blur of lavender fur speed past him. Dust quickly turns his body in Angel's direction and runs after her.
      "Woah there! Hold your horses, er, wolves...or something! Dust shouts to her.
      Angel let's out a heavy sign and skids to a halt. She whirls around to face the ferret, "What is it now? Your friend, my cousin, is on death row right now. What could it possibly be?!"

      "We need a plan of some sort. You or whoever can't just stomp over to Darkmoon and demand him back with a fight! They're dangerous!" Dust quickly explains in a panic.

      "Dangerous my tail! I'm sure I can rip them to bloody pieces with my dragon form!" Angel blurts back angrily while, stomping a paw on the ground.

      Angel pauses then her ears perk up. "Ohhhh. I know I'll just use his sword. The one he never uses! Then all rush in there with the army and crush that place. He's such a damsel in distress right now." She laughs triumphantly while puffing her chest out and raising her head high.
      Dust groans slapping a paw to his head. "You know what? Doesn't your kingdom have a blade? Do you have its approval and your parents permission to use it?" He asks cocking his head to the side. Angel stops then looks at him concerned.
      "To tell you the truth, I never tried or asked. Our blade, Celestial-Fury, never had to be hidden or anything. It's just laying in a case..." She answers not quite sure what to do.
      The ferret rises on his back legs, "You better get going then. We need to test your strength and your wits."

      Soul gently curled his large body around, Whitney.
     Her body was still growing and it was going to be a matter of time that she was as big as an adult wolf. On top of that, it had only been a few weeks after her hatching. Soul wondered if he was ever going to see Blazeheart again. It would be a shame to never let their daughter meet her mother. Did she even care?
      A sudden chill ran down his spine as he remembered the harshness of the Crypt-light drake rule. No hybrids allowed and no outside mating. They had broken the code. Blazeheart had broken the code of her species. All because they swooned each other. It was stupid.
      Whitney yawned and her bright blue eyes opened. She stared up at her dad, unblinking.
      Soul looked down in awe and nuzzled her. "What is it, little flame?"
Whitney suddenly sneezed and a small flame of blue fire shot out of her mouth. Within that same moment her eyes had started to glow blue.
      What on earth?! Is that what I think it is? No it can't be. I shouldn't assume that. She has Stormfeather traits but...no.
      Soul's head was now spinning. He had heard stories of something but he didn't want it to be true just yet.
      "The Azure".
