ALONE/ON HOLD

Part 21: Training

     Julias pov

Ive decided to give Jack some time to cool off. I'd rather focus on how we are gonna defeat King Daniel.

We were currently sitting in the Queens study coming up with ideas.

"Daniel has become unbelievably powerful and yes it is true that both our kingdoms combined would be able to defeat him and his soldiers but many would be wounded and some loved ones would die." King Lucious said.

"Is there a way we can stop them without bringing harm to the people" Brady asked.
The King sighed.

"Yes....The Prince of Riftus and The Princess of Krystel would easily be able to defeat the soldiers in one split second ...after they are properly trained that is" he said

"Wait ...you said we could easily defeat the soldiers what about King Daniel" I asked.
"King Daniel is not what he seems. He has a great power surging through him and yes it is by no doubt that you and Jack are stronger than him but he....." he paused.

"His power grows stronger everyday....and no it cannot reach the amount of power that you and Jack bear together but it comes really close." He sighed.

"There is a chance that he could defeat you both and I don't think The Queen and I are willing to take that risk" he said. Wow he really does care for Jack.

I sighed.
"There's another way" I heard another voice.
My head turned to Mike.
"But you're not gonna like it" he warned.

I took a deep breath getting ready for scolding.
"We could send Jack and Julia to the Quest of the unknown" I said.

"WHAT!!!ARE U INSANE"

"DUDE WHAT THE HELL!!"

"THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!"

"What's that"

At least Julia didn't shout.
I pouted at their tones.
"It's the only way to insure that they are protected when the fight arrives." I reasoned.

"No one has ever came back from  the Quest of the unknown and I'm not about to lose a daughter I just recently found again" The Queen who was next to Julia held her hand tightly.

"What's the Quest of the unknown?" Julia squeaked feeling left out.
"The Quest of the unknown is a dangerous quest that only people who seek absolute power go through" Brady explained.

"It has a series of traps,riddles and other challenges the travellers must face to get to the ultimate price." I continued.

"To be specific two prices....The Crown of fire and The Crown of pure ice." I said.

"Only citizens of Krystel and Riftus can wear those crowns and they must be pure of heart for the crowns were only worn by the goddess of Krystel and the god of Riftus who both were pure of heart" Brady said.

"No one has ever come back from the quest." I whispered but she heard me.
"There are approximately 10 challenges that you have to get through to get to the price ...each harder than the other." Brady said.

"And the furthest anyone has got was at the second one" I finished off.
"I don't know what I was thinking I can't send you guys there that would be-"

"I'll do it" I heard a familiar voice.
There stood Jack watching the scene unfold.
"Son you will not do such a-"
"I'll do it too" Julia stood up proudly and gave Jack a warm smile which he returned.

"Skyler please reconsider" the Queen pleaded.
Julia gave her a warm genuine smile.
"I need to do this" she said.

Im so proud of Julia.
I know my dad doesn't approve but I couldn't care less what he thinks.
He gave me a look but kept his mouth shut knowing I'd turn down anything he said.

"We must first start training" I said.
"Double the defense on both kingdoms as it is wiser for each of us to train in our respective kingdoms" my dad's mood lightened after hearing me refer to Riftus as my Kingdom after so many years.

"Knowing Daniel he will lie low until we make a mistake so let's make sure not to...at least until they have finished their training....Jack will be faster in finishing his training because he has used his powers many times before." My dad said.

"We just need to wake them up" he spoke.
"Julia where else is a newbie so she'll take much longer... we need to fend off Daniel for as long as we can" he said.

Julia didn't quite like the idea of training without me but she nodded anyway.

"From what I've heard is it true that only two people get to enter the door where the crowns are hidden?" I asked curiously

They all nodded in response.

"Ah.... as I thought so Mike and Brady can assist us with the quest" I said. Mikes face lit up and so did Brady's.

"Since you two obviously know more about these things than we do...it is better that you two assist us." I suggested.

"While Jack and I are busy with our training you should train yourselves too. We have no idea what's in store for us" I said seriously and they nodded determined.

After a couple of hours we decided the sooner we start the better. Brady went with Jack to train in Riftus since he couldn't train in Trifus well refused to anyway.

And Mike stayed behind here in Krystel. His kingdom.

Surprisingly the Queen said that she would prepare me. She obviously didn't trust anyone else and wanted to make sure that I did it right.

We were now in the training room and I don't know how many punching bags I finished tearing apart but I was too lazy to count. 

"This.....is...so...tiring" Mike panted lazily hitting his punching bag.

"Don't give up just yet Mike this was just a warm up" my mom smirked.

"The real training is about to begin"
