Unfortunate Royal (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter Nine

A/N: I decided that if a sentence or a ground of sentences at each end had this ' then that would mean it's the character's thoughts. Since the publisher can't do the slanted letters on all the thoughts because copying and pasting these chapters on Wattpad will remove the slanted font.

K, that's all.

P/N: Awww ❤️ I just read that Thx

Spectral paced around the room, looking down after what Moondrift and Snowstorm had both told her. The IceWing waited patiently for her to say something, he fiddled with his claws and shot nervous glances at Moondrift, who looked impatiently grumpy at Spectral's pacing.

He didn't know what Spectral was thinking, but the RainWing kept quivering as she walked all around the hut. Snowstorm hoped that she wasn't internally freaking out, even the expression on Moondrift's face was calm, yet he could spot slight twitches in her eyes and a wrinkled snout.

Snowstorm looked behind him at the hut's opening and saw the moon rise into the sky. 'This isn't good, Wither could come at us at any moment now without us knowing he's there.' But he gasped that the moon was completely full, where the demon inside him is most powerful and will take over him. His heart started drumming faster and faster, hearing his own rapid beats bang into his chest.

"Hurry up!" He suddenly yelled, immediately covering his mouth as he said that. He didn't know what he was thinking, he felt so guilty just demanding that. He hated being rude to others, yelling in their faces to hurry up like what a normal prince would do. But I'm not a normal prince, he sighed. 'I have an evil spirit inside me, not an everyday prince there.'

"That's one way to put my feeling about this right now," Moondrift answered. "But yes, what is it you're waiting for, for Wither to come back and finish his job on you?"

"I'm just confused and terrified at the same time," Spectral sighed, stopping her pacing. "I mean, I'd love an adventure, but this? This is pure evil that's happening in the Rainforest I love! The home I've sworn to protect!"

"Then protect it," Moondrift said softly. "Trust me, there's nothing in the world I'd want to do more than defend anything or anyone that I care for. And if they take that away from me," she stepped closer to Spectral, "then they will pay."

"I want to help you find the entrance," the RainWing said strongly. "If it means finding it before something evil does and using it to most likely end our world, then I'll stop at nothing to help you in any way I can."

Snowstorm smiled at that. "Actually," he mused, "we already know where it is," he pointed to the map of the whole continent which was scribbled over with a drawing of the underground system. "Our goal right now is to get to it first. Before that evil shadow dragon does,"

"Wait," Moondrift said, staring at the map. "The underground system...Snowstorm...can't you see? It's a giant maze! And it looks like it's contained with something darker than Darkstalker himself."

She leaned closer to the map and studied it, but she couldn't get anything out of it. "Then how are we even supposed to get that object without getting ourselves killed?"

"I think that's the point of this maze," Moondrift said, "so that no one can get that object. So that whoever enters that underground maze will die. Now I know why no one was able to get it, despite the temptation of the desired object, the obstacle gets in the way of that. This is downright torture, Snowstorm."

He didn't know what to say to that. If he encounters the object, what would it take the form of? Would it appear to be something he has lost long ago?

"I don't think even Wither will find this easy," Snowstorm said. "However, we should prepare for this," he hesitated, "if we're going that is."

"I want to come!" Spectral chimed.
