Life of The Princess

Lightning struck behind a terrifying crimson castle, where thunderous roars could be heard. Though the castle seemed vacant at first glance, the roars could be heard deep within the castle. Suddenly, an armored knight was thrown to the ground. The knight got up, but seemed somewhat dazed as it was hard to stay balanced. Then, without warning, a large, scaly foot landed right next to the knight, to which the brave warrior looked up, to see a terrifying dragon staring down, with ravenous intent.

The warrior struggled to stay balanced; it had been a long and brutal battle. When the warrior finally managed to stand firm, the warrior stared right into the eyes of the bloodthirsty beast, whose blood red eyes continued to stare. Then, a decision was made to remove the helmet, to which the warrior revealed a female with purple eyes and long, flowing auburn hair.

It was then that the beast decided to charge its deadly flame breath, ready to burn the brave warrior alive. With all her strength, the warriors charged her magic sword, ready to deliver the final blow.

"Vile beast, your reign of terror ends now!" Yelled the warrior, as she charged with full fury, and just before the final blow was struck, there was a flash.

"Gotcha!" Shouted a six year old girl, who seemed like a younger version of the warrior, only more modern. It was none other than Princess Arkayna Goodfey, pretending to be a brave knight.

"Aaaaaaaggh!" Said a tall regal man, who had dark blue hair and a beard, with a toy sword caught in his arms, pretending to be stabbed. "I have been defeated! How could I have have been so... careless." He finished as he pretended to perish, lying flat on the ground. This was Argo Goodfey, a proud father and King of Drake City

Then, out from the wardrobe, came Queen Kassandra who had similar colored hair to Arkayna, only a bit more purpleish, wearing a stereotypical princess outfit.

"Oh brave knight, you have saved me from the terrible dragon! You will be celebrated for this."

"Or will she?" Said Argo in a pretend menacing voice as he picks up both Arkayna and Kassandra, all laughing with joy. He then sat them both down, with both parents sitting beside Arkayna, hugging her warmly. Clearly, they were very close to each other. Arkayna loved her parents very much, and would never have traded them for anything. And the feeling was very much mutual for Argo and Kassandra.

But all fun and games were cut short, for Argo's phone began to ring. It was Nova Terron. This put a worried face on Argo, which in turn put a worried face on Kassandra and Arkayna. What could The Starmaster of the Astromancer Academy possibly want at this hour? Only one way to find out. Argo took this matter outside the room, not wanting to worry his family further until there was reason to.

"Greetings Nova, I trust this is urgent?" Argo inquired, in an authoritative tone.

"Unfortunately, Your Majesty, very urgent. An army of reanimated skeletons threaten the entire Realm. "

"You don't mean..."

"Yes, your Highness, The Spectral Hand. I suspect their mysterious leader is with them. I believe you know what you must do. We need your aid in our forces."

King Argo dreaded this would happen. He already needed to defend the realm before Arkayna was even born. He wasn't sure he could leave Arkayna, much less to fight a battle, in which death was possible. Still, his duties were clear. He had to defend The Realm which, last he checked, included his beloved wife and daughter.

"Very well, I'll depart shortly."

With a saddened face, he asked Kassandra to meet him outside. Kassandra knew this was dire news, so out they went. Arkayna couldn't help but wonder what the problem was, so she eavesdropped, placing her ear against the door. She heard her parents talking about the invasion, and how he had to go help stop these revenants. Arkayna was very much worried.
