The Rose

Chapter Six: A War

       The morning of my sixth month at the thief's village, I woke to an alarm blaring and C shouting for me to get up or die. I jumped out of bed, pulled on some boorowed black jeans since i couldn't stand the black skiiny pants C had given me, and ran out the door.

Everyone was gathered at the center of the town but they let me through. When I got to the middle of the mob I saw C holding a young boy's head in her lap. He was bleeding from a small slit in his chest right above his heart. From the stone face C had on, I knew it was bad. She looked up at me and said one word. "Jumbalilla" A cold shiver washed over me. One of the deadliest poisons know to thief kind. Made from a bright vlue flower, just a touch of a petal put you into a coma. A knife coated in the stuff ment there was no saving him. All you could do was hold thier hand and pray. The boy looked like he was trying to say something. I knelt down so I could hear. " A ..war.." He breathed, I had to strain to hear him. " day king.....wants...a....war.." And with that his eyes closed and he went slack.

After the crowd dispersed, and the body carried off, only C and I were left. " Who is the sun king?" I asked. C looked at me with a face that could freeze water. " You had better come with me" She led me into the house we shared and opened a door I had never seen before. It opened up to a large, well lit room with books everywhere. She motioned for me to come inside and shut the door behind me. " This is where I go to get away from life, to bury myself inside these stroies but the sun king is not a story, he is a legend" And with that, the tale of the sun king began.

The night king had fell in love with not just a ordinary girl, but the daughter of the sun king. It was common for her to dissapear during the night, and he thought nothing of not seeing her for a day, but when she did not join his table for three days and nights, he went out on a search. He got to the forest where the night king suffered just in time to see his daughter die. He saw the remains of the night king and immediatly sought his revenge. For the end of time he swore to take his revenge on the night king. He has finally found him here, I dont know who but Im willing to bet that wont stop the sun king. Unless we prepare soon, we will all die.
