Buddar's POV

We all stared up at the magnificent castle of butter. Its walls gleamed in the moonlight, making it look peaceful and inviting, but we all knew it was anything but. This had been the castle of the Butter Kingdom, but it had fallen years ago, and was now overrun by squids. "Guys, get back to the den." I whispered urgently.

"But what about you?" Kayla asked.

I glanced over my shoulder at her. "I'll be there in a little bit." I said. "I'm just going to make sure that no squids find us."

"Too late!" A dry voice rasped. Four squids jumped out of the bushes at us, their hideously squishy tentacles raised. My wings tore through my sweater and fanned out to protect my sister and friend.

"Leave us alone!" I snarled at the squids, revealing my long white fangs. The squids laughed insanely, as though what I had said was the most hilarious joke in history, then one of the, lunged at us. My jaw snapped open and a jet of orange flames shot out of my mouth, instantly frying the attacking squid.

"Who's next?!" I snarled. Two of the remaining squids rushed towards us, but they ended up the same way that their comrade did. I glanced around for the last one.

Seems like he was sensible enough to-

My thoughts were interrupted as my sister let out an ear-piercing scream. I spun around just in time to see two tentacles shooting towards me moments before they wrapped around my neck and lifted me into the air. I kicked and clawed at the tentacles, trying to escape as I fought for air, but the squid's grip was as strong as iron.

No! I thought as my vision began to fade to black. I can't die! Kayla and Neko need me!

Then there was a flash of butter, then the squid's grip loosened, and he dropped me. I gasped and began coughing, Kayla cried out in horror as a bit of blood dripped from my mouth. "D-Don't worry..." I managed to say between coughs. "I'm fine."

I glanced up at our savior, then my eyes widened in shock. Standing in front of us was a handsome man with curly brown hair, butter armor over his grey and black striped clothes, black shades, and a butter amulet with a glittering purple amethyst in the center.

"P-Prince Sky!?" I stuttered.
