BALON
Its been a while since Balon had an actual drink. Last time he drank something strong was in the Earth City with his uncle that morning. Balon went into the living room and found a bottle of wine on the table. He took it and scanned its name and ingredients. Balon looked around the room only to find nobody then went out with the bottle opening it. Balon made himself feel at home in the Palace of the Frosts. The Land was as peaceful as Balons home, and everyone looked so happy. Altar didnt like it there Balon had noticed, he wondered if it was because of the weather or because of the way he got welcomed. Balon didnt mind staying there truth be told, because the Winter Land had no drama from what Balon has seen so far. No duties for him to do like back in the Earth City and no Dornish to flinch from. What Balon could say that he missed about home was the sun. He looked up in the sky and only found grey clouds that looked like a fog.'One of the coldest placeDORIANIts been two days since the battle in No Mans Land. All the dead minotaurs they found was set aflame. Some villagers took a few dead minotaurs and kept them for meat. Minotaurs were still steak anyway.No Mans Land was just a ghost town now with no residence. Dorian hadn't ordered it to be rebuilt yet but he was planning to, he couldn't just leave a conquered land. That day a council took place in the Throne room. The people present was the king, the prince, the mage Lady Lane, the Kings second Allister, Karl Smith who was recently made Captain of the Dornishmen, and Doctor Ross. Sir. Ruth Steel was present amongst them aswell."My brothers and sisters" said the king beginning the council, "I called this meeting to discuss the matters of the new Land we have acquired from the minotaurs, and a plan of action retrieving the Pnevma back."Never liked those beasts anyway" Karl mumbled."All bodies have been disposed of?" Dorian asked. Karl nod
ALTAR It's been a week now, Altar was still in his room under warm blankets. Its been like that since he came to the Winter Land. He had remembered the words of the Healer that attended to him back in the Earth City. She told him to rest for atleast a week to get all his strength back after the wound he got from the Prince. But Altar didn't listen then got ambushed by yetis which proved to him why he really needed to rest.His shoulder, hands and arms felt pain, which was getting better due to his resting. Altar let out a long sigh that morning scanning the room. His violet eyes went to the window where he found the grey clouds. He watched the snow fall through the window.'I could get used to this' Altar thought to himself. He expected a maiden to come and serve him breakfast in bed as usual, 'The life of royalty. No responsibility, everything just comes to you.' Altar had to admit although he didnt like the Winter Land so much because of the weather, his stay
<span;>ALTAR<span;>Altar Cleos sat on his bed that morning after eating his breakfast. His body felt perfectly fine except for the the wound on his shoulder. It still pinched a little, but Altar felt like he could take on the day. <span;>He went out the room and looked for the bathroom, that was his everyday struggle in the palace of the Frosts. When he found it, Marissa walked out half naked in front of him. Altar stopped and stared as the princess walked swiftly looking at him, not embarrassed at all. "Goodmorning..."<span;>Altar just gasped, "Hi...."<span;>"You're finally up" she said. Altar mutters fixated on her body, "Yes...."<span;>"Well your friends are in the backyard" she said. Altar just stared and nodded.<span;>Marissa giggled and left him. <span;>Altar went into the bathroom then sat down letting out a long sigh thinking about what he just saw. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief
PROLOGUEShe walked in the passageway full of doors, the solid floor was damp with shallow water everywhere. It was very quiet, only the sound of her feet splashing echoed as she walked slowly ahead.The passage’s lights died one by one behind her as she kept on walking. Diego showed no sign of fear of the place she was in because she had been here before. The sound of singing caught her attention and made her pause. She decided to follow the melody until she came upon a purple light that looked like it was steaming from somewhere, in the shape of a glowing mist. Diego followed the purple mist which led her to a room with no door, the singing had now grown stronger.When Diego walked in the room, the lights that lit the passageway had completely died out.The room was dark except for the purple mist that poured out from the Black Spirit.“Why have you come?” the Spirit demanded in a mocking tone.Diego rep
DIEGO"This is just suicide" Diego reflected in silence. The king and prince were already in tears laughing, so was the rest of the crowd. Dorian said the same thing that she was thinking "This is just suicide!""Is this some kind of a joke?" Daerason said. The foolish boy finally got his foot into his boot."Ahh yes" he said, jumping up and down. He drew out his short swords and was ready for batte. "Lets go" he said.The black knight roared with laughter. Diego giggled, she had to admit tr boys bravery was somewhat amusing yet stupid. She pitied him but she remembered she was the one in need of pity. The boy was short, with a small body, round face and purple hair. He looked fifteen or fourteen from his physical appearance.The big black knight looked at him and sighed. He roared "Give me a read opponent!""I agree" Daerason laughed aloud, " the black knight asks for a fight and life sends him a boy.""Fight me" said the b
DIEGOShe was back at home in Theronia. Everything was back to normal and she had her life back. Her father was present with her laughing with her mother Queen Aaliyah Reed. Diego ran into their arms crying tears of joy."Where have you been? We've missed you so much" Aaliyah smiled, stroking her black hair."No harm shall ever befall you my daughter" said Zikhali to her. "You're safe with us". Their smiles were from ear to ear with a sinister grin."Momma....pappa" Diego was a bit unsure about them. Zikhali Reed chuckled, "Whats wrong my peach?" He turned into King Dorian and her mother was the Dornish Prince."No" Diego hissed taking a few steps back. Her back knocked against something and when she looked she found the Black Spirit standing behind her smiling as grimly as the Dornish. "You..." Diego muttered. Around her the Dornish mages appeared with their hoodies on, concealing their old faces."Do it" said the Black Spirit&n
BALONBalon Stone led the two he'd to the Earth Tribe, his home. They walked for a while until they came across burnt posters on trees. Balon went and took a closer look at them, a few of them were not completely burnt, he could still see the information written on them."Altar Cleos and Diego Reed huh" Balon said."I dont remember telling you our names" Altar said. Balon held the posters up. "Yeah i know but this looks very much like you two."Altar and Diego paused. "Shit" said Altar"So you're fugitives of Dorne" Balon said."Its much more complicated as you think" Diego assured."Then uncomplicate it" Balon said stopping, "because apparently you're criminals""We are not criminals!" Diego snapped, coiling her fist in anger. Balon looked at Diegos face and scanned her carefully. He looked at her carefully in the eyes and said, "Well this should be interesting....""What are you talking about?" Altar said."So the Dornish are pursuing you is tha
DAERASONDaerason kicked the boy on the chest and he landed back into the shop. He grabbed him by the neck and flung him against the wall holding him there."How far did you think you'd go?" Daerason asked him."A bit further...." Altar choked. His legs had left the ground and his hands tried to get Daerasons hand off his neck but it was no use. The prince unsheathed his long golden sword with his free hand"Ive waited a long time for this " he said."You want to kill me?" Altar chocked, "i thought you wanted me alive""My father wants the girl alive" Daerason said, "youre disposable. But before that where's the girl?""You probably will kill me even if i tell you so what difference will it make?" Altar said."I guess you're right" Daerason said," either way ill find her. I found you didnt i?" Daerason gave the boy a headbutt and flung him away. "Kill him" he ordered.His men went to the boy. The weapon smith was useless.
