My Crazy Life

Marcus

     Once going threw the portal I finally made it to the other end. This realm was nothing like the beautiful realm LIlianian. It was a dark green and black forest. The first thing I saw was a huge troll. An ugly troll. I walked right past it unseen then searched around for a castle. It didn't take long to find. Up atop a mountain was a glamorous black castle, with green glowing vines everywhere. I began to walk towards the castle when I noticed the guards waveing around what looked like metal detectors. But on the side of on of them it said "Spell Checker" I immediately ran from those. I went around the back of the castle to see if there  was a back entrance and there was. Before entering I looked around the garden and only saw an old woman.

     "Looks," she said "Can be deceiving" she said in my direction. I didn't say anything and she transformed into a beautiful young woman. With flowing red hair down almost past her shoulders and was wearing all black. She had the castle crest a crow holding a green glowing wand, imbedded on the front. 

     "It's alright dear do not be afraid I am the only one who can see you. It is my gift. Your intentions are bold my dear. Follow me I will lead you in the front that way they won't kill you. I know you cant see it but if you would've opened the door there is an invisible spear above your head. And if you don't know the password it would've fallen and killed you." She said smiling and looking delightful. 

    "Now why don't you reverse that spell and Ill take you to the front door." She pointed to the gate to out left with an opening. Do I trust her? She did save my life only for a small time but she did save me. I mumbled the words and I became visible again. I pulled up my cloaks hood. I might let her see me but I don't want to draw attention to myself.  

     She walked threw the gate then stopped suddenly before we entered. There were two huge black trolls standing there guarding the gates. 

     "Hello Sollix, Kazko. I would like you too meet a very special friend of mine. Now rember she is not to be harmed when in the castle or around it ok?" She sounded like she was talking to a baby. I giggle quietly to myself, it was just weird to see her talking like that to two fully grown trolls. Or at least I think they were fully grown they were massive none the less. They both nodded and we were in. 

     "Which one is Marcus?" I whispered. She whispered back "the one in the middle." There were five men sitting in tall black chairs. The one in the middle looked to about in his mid 50's. But he had pure white hair. He wore a similar outfit similar to this girls.

    "By the way, what's your name?"

    "Sabina, now when you approach them make sure to bow to all five of them. She then stopped walking and I continued forward. All five of them were staring at me and I think it was there attempt to scare me or make me nervous. I stopped at the golden line that Sabina had munched earlier and bowed to each one. After I bowed I waited.

     "What can we help you with dear?" asked the man to the far right.  He had a long jet black beard to his waist and a man bun. Great. I get to speak to the werido first.

    "Actually sir, I am here on account of Mr. Marcus." I then directed my attention to him. He smiled a cruel smile and stood up.

     "And what could I help you with?" that is when I realized he probably knew who I was. He took one step forward then backwards and sat back down.

    "You have a good friend of mine I would like to propose a trade." My voice was strong and fierce. I even scared myself a bit. Just then I heard a voice coming from the end of the hall. I hated that voice. I turned around and there was Sam. 

     "Sir he simply will not talk." he said then walked right past me as if I was invisible. 

     "About that trade." I said completely blowing Sam's comment off. I figured it was probably about Maximus making my business all the more urgent. He whipped around and was wearing a suit of armor. He looked stupid. I heard Sabina silently laugh behind me. She must still be reading my mind. 

     "Oh my God. They really sent you down here as a sacrifice." he sounded delighted. 

     "Sorry to burst your bubble," I took three steps forward to match his. "I sent myself down here as self sacrifice. Now," I said turning to Marcus again. "About that trade." I was beginning to get impatient. I could tell Marcus loved this and so did Sam. I was going to die I could feel it.

    "Alright. Bring up Maximus." he said to the nearest guards. I nodded my head to him and he nodded back. It was sort of a thank you friendly motion thing. Sam looked like he could hardly believe his eyes.

    "But sir, Maximus could tell us about Prince Ollie. He could tell us his secrets to those inventions! And-"

     "Well it seems you are getting no where with him so you are no longer needed. Unless you want to order the cook to bring me some earl grey tea. All this business makes me thirsty. Anyone else want any?' he said looking to the other men who all nodded no. Sam looked scared and upset.  But what did I care.

     "If it helps sir, Ollie never told a soul what he was doing." 

     "Thank you child." was all he said. About ten minutes later they finally brought up Maximus. The door opened and my door to my life would be closing.
