Queens and Knights

Chapter 7 - The Goblin

Astrid's P.O.V

After we wake up and get breakfast ( from the special bags Maria gave us ) We finally decide on what to do next.

''Before we start travelling, do you two have any questions?'' Dexter asks.

''If, this is if we win. let's say we win and we decide that we want to keep this world, who would rule this universe?'' Tune asks. She has a point, but that depends if we win and this Winter dude seems scary. I won't lie and say i'm not scared. Scratch that, i'm filled with absolute terror. Drexter smirks at her, What is with Dexter always smirking? Can't he smile?

'' Well, that would be up to you two then, you could both rule here, or you could become a bridge for this world and the other one. One of you would rule here, whilst the other lives at Earth to ensure no magic goes in the wrong hands.''

''What exactly do we have to do to destroy this Winter demon and where are we going to?'' I ask Dexter. He looks at me and gives me a grin, well better then a smirk at least. However it's Draven who answers my question.

''To destroy the winter demon, you first need the four stones that the Dian had mentioned to starlight, then once you've got all four you will combine them together to make them ' Potens Quattuor ' which means the powerful four. That will be the best and most probably the only way to destroy the Winter Demon. we will be going to the valley of lost souls, where your army has been waiting for you since the beginning of this world. Anymore questions, Little Dove?''

I blush and looking down, I shake my head, I didn't notice him coming up to me, until i saw his shoes, he puts his index finger on my chin, making me look up at him. I already knew that Neptune had a ' if looks could kill.' and Dexter, surprise, surprise, he was smirking at the scenes we had created. Dexter comes closer and puts his mouth near my ear and whispers, ''when i talk to you, I want  to see those beautiful and innocent eyes. I want you to look at me when i talk to you, Little Dove.'' He, oh, oh, oh shit. He makes me feel something down there as his nibbles my earlobe and kisses it. I lose my eyes and try to stop myself from shivering from the pleasure. I had to do everything in my self strength to not moan. What the hell is going on, I have never even had my first kiss and I-

I snap out of it and look at him. ''Good.'' he kisses my forehead and walks back to where Dexter was standing. I look at Neptune from beneath my lashes, and as I said earlier, if looks could kill, My Rave- sorry, Draven would be 6 feet under by now, hell he'd be at the inner core of this world.He looks at Dexter and looks at Neptune, with the boysih look,''Shallw esatr walking then?'' with a nod of our heads, and a whisper of 'i'm gonna kill him' from Neptune, which I rolled my eyes at, we all went to retrieve our bags and collect our things. I open my bag just to double check if we had all our things and oh-

Oh no. This wasn't good. The stone of Courage was no longer in my bag. I heard a wicked laugh which made us all look at where it was coming from, I look up from my bad and see, 

the most disgusting creature I had ever laid eyes upon holding The stone Of Courage. 

It had a green slimy, almost leather like as skin, it was very short, the size of a dwarf and have massive, huge feet, it had claws, old and grimly as nails for the hands and feet and were really long and curved at the end, it had torn and ragged clothes, holes from this and there. its eyes, they were scary, there were no pupil, iris or even the whites. it was fully and wholly black. those eyes had wicked, cruel glint to them. Draven quickly runs to me and takes my bag and me and holds me in his arms, as i lean in to his chest as if he was my only life support. He was.

''Give us back what you have taken from us. Now Creature of the Dead.'' Draven, his voice was cold, there was no life in it, i looked back at him and saw that he was looking at the creature while clenching his jaw. That's not good right? When a guy is pretty pissed he clenches his jaw..That's what the books I've read tell me though. I look back at the filthy creature as he says,

'' I'll give you back what you want, if only the Lady of fire answers my riddle.'' He says with a childlike voice. I look at Draven as he looks at me. I smile up at him and get out of his arms and walk up to the creature and crouch down to his height, trying to not be frighted by his eyes.

''If I answer your riddle correctly, you'll give me the stone back?'' I ask the creature. He nods his head with a very scary smirk plastered on his face, ''Well then, what is the riddle?''  He coughs and says.

''I speak without a mouth and hear without ears, I have no body but I come alive with the wind, What am I?''

''That's impossible! How will anyone ever get that?'' Dexter walk up with Neptune right by his side. I ignore them. Think Astrid think, what could it be, the wind, the body,

an echo. That's what it is. You speak and it echoes without ears and no mouth. because that what an echo is. I look at the creature right in the eye and smile at him.

''The answer to the riddle is an echo.'' The creature looks at me with the most horrified look and with the most scared look-

Vansihes. However where he had stood lie not one, but two stones, the stone of courage and- 

''The stone of Intelligence.'' Tune whispers. I pick both of the red and blue stone and hand them to Tune.

''You take care of them, clearly I can't.'' with a nod of her head she takes them and puts them in her bag. I look at the boys as Draven walks up to me and gives me the most tightest hug, I hug him back and as we pull apart he kisses my forehead and says, 

'' I Knew you could do it.'' and gives me an very cute grin. Dexter coughs and says,

''If were finally done with all the lovey dovey stuff, can we please start going to the Valley?'' With a small chorus of sorry's we all take our things and FINALLY head for the Valley Of lost souls.

Where our army waited for us.
