A New Life

Labyrinth Kingdom

One month later

After the war between the Oregon Kingdom where their King Reez died, King Tharks won many battles by using the power of the Heart of Magic to other nearest kingdoms. He planned to attack the Oregon Kingdom but his daughter Amira begs not to continue the assault. She wants peace and serenity for people. Little did she knows that all of their people died and her father used magic with the help of a magic stone to create a new set of people to be his followers. Agnes knew all about it but she chooses to seal her lips to protect her friend and her lady, Amira. 

King Reez, has a son and he was Price Liam. Jacob, Reez's general of soldiers was the only person who came back alive after the war. He was the only person who helped the prince in his decisions. 

Back to the Labyrinth Kingdom, everyone forgets about the war, and Amira was one of them. She thought about it as a dream and having a new life made her feel gracious and contented. 

"Are you okay?" Agnes asked her. She was on her bed, just woke up. 

She dug her eyes with her palm and slowly let out a soft yawn. 

"Good. It's so early Agnes, why you're up so early?" She asked her Dama. 

Agnes who was always an early bird scowled at her. She aged a lot when she's like that. She's always plain and quiet. Sometimes she's funny but most of the time, she's mysterious which is kinda scary. 

"The King wanted us to go hunting, my lady" she simply answered without even changing her facial expression.

Amira pouted her lips and sigh. I guess she needs an alarm clock or a parrot, who can wake her early in the morning. 

"Hunting? May I know what time is it?" She asked her impatiently while doing some arms and neck stretching.

Agnes looked up to check her wooden wall clock and it was past six in the morning. 

"Six, my lady!" Agnes mumbled softly. 

Amira heard it and she instantly got up from her mattress like she's in a rush. She was like a vampire dead girl who rises from the coffin because she smelled or licks fresh blood. 

"Shall we go?" Her hair was messy and her face was pale. She looks like a gang of demons raped her. 

Agnes tried to hold her laughter but she was astounded when Amira knew it. 

"Are you laughing at me?" She asked with a little humor on her face. It's the first time Agnes saw her beautiful smile again.

Agnes scratches her neck.

"What? Wait, are you blind or not? Are you tricking us?" She asked Amira jokingly. 

Her princess chuckled a bit. Agnes heard it. 

"Of course, I am! Maybe, I just sense it. That's all!" She replied to her. 

To cut the crap they're doing and wasting their time, Agnes told her that she will wait outside after she finished dressing up her hunting gear and tools. 

"I'll be quick. I promise!" Amira loved to mocked her most nicely. 

Agnes grunts a lot when she's pissed. 

Amira made a quick shower and after fixing herself on her hunting outfit, she went outside to meet Agnes. She doesn't need assistance anymore because she knew every corner and rim of the inside palace. 

She took a deep breath after she smells the fresh damp air on her face. It's a good feeling to be out in the wilderness again for almost a month after the never-ending battles of her father. She wishes that someday, peace and harmony will cover the whole territory in all of the Kingdoms. If she was a queen, her reign won't be as cruel and doom as this. Everyone needs to be happy and to be praised. Being evil is not necessary to be a King or Queen. That is her goal in life but with this kind of disability, maybe she can't do better. She's useless and powerless. If she was given a chance to be able to see the whole universe in her naked eyes, she will do the things what is right and bend straight to what is wrong. 

" I miss being with wilds!" She mumbled while looking somewhere with her blindsight.  

Her white hair sparks under the rising morning sun. It glows like chains of gold. As long and marvelous like the hair of a Goddess. She's so gorgeous like Aphrodite and a warrior-like Athena. Any guy will bow to her and served her. 

Agnes places her palm on her upper eyebrows to see what's on the other side of their Kingdom. She maximizes her vision and she saw small islands and mountains. It's good to navigate the whole place with their fresh start. 

"I saw one! Let's go!" Agnes called her.

Amira remembered that she hadn't talked to her father since the war. He was always away and when she wakes up, her father is on hunting. 

"Come on!" She replied until they heard the voice of a guy. 

When they looked back and halt from walking, they saw their friend Jake. They both wave at him. He was like catching his breath. 

"Wait for me! You two are so unfair! You didn't tell me that you go hinting today?!" He told them with a little sadness on his face. He's annoyed too. He crossed his arms on his chest and glared at them. 

Agnes and Amira took a sigh. 

"You're so pathetic. Let's go, okay" Agnes rolled her eyes at him and grab him quickly. 

Amira only shook her head and set a lovely smile while the three of them navigated the directions towards their target location.

Oregon Kingdom

"The ground is shaking!" Baldwin screamed as he lifted his heavyweight body from his bed.

All of them were startled by the sudden earthquake. Rene and Russel wrapped their arms together like a scared little kitten. Danym rubs his eyes smoothly as he felt it too. Something just happened and it's not an ordinary quake because of a huge impact. The prisoners inside the dungeon are all looking for a way to escape it else, all of them will be trapped by masses of rocks and cement inside. 

"What is happening?" Danym asked his comrades. 

Baldwin came closer.

" I think something powerful thing erupted but I don't know if it's a volcano!" He told Danym while his body was trembling and shivering in fear, afraid to die.

Rene and Russel laughed at him at this time of erratic events. Baldwin glared at them and they stop and keep their mouth shut. 

"Powerful thing?" Danym murmured for himself. 

Inside the dungeon, there was a small window as airways and he climbed up there like a spider and he took a peek. On the other side of the Kingdom, he saw another Kingdom full of a blazing set of fires. His eyes turned to ashes as he felt something like strong energy is telling him what it was. It might be a gem that was stolen from his lost kingdom, a hundred years ago had passed. The Heart of Magic where Queen Astra reserved it inside her when she was alive. It's where the existence of Dragons begun. It is something to be taken care of not to be manipulated or used to any cruel intentions especially humans who were always thirsty for power. 

He clenched his fist. He had to save his lost realms. He's the only Dragon left of his race, the only Black Dragon who still exist in the human world. He was able to blend with everyone to act like one of them. He wants peace and harmony but nothing changes to mortal from many years ago. Mortals are still immoral and greedy. Even without them, dragons, they're still fighting for the great power. 

"I won't allow evil humans to keep it forever! I must find it to whoever stole it!" His voice became deeper as he couldn't control his dragon power but it's not time yet. 

"I must go to that place! I must get out of here!" He mumbled as he went down and told them that they will escape tonight.

"Guys, this cell will collapse. In my signal, all of you, hold unto me!" He ordered his comrades. 

Three of them followed him and in three seconds, like magic, all of them disappeared and found themselves standing in the middle of a dark forest. 

All of his prisoner friends rejoice. 

"We're free! We're free! Why you didn't do it the first day they took you in?" Russel asked him like a curious little kid. 

Danym had no time for a little chit chat. 

"It's not important anymore. You're All free now! Thanks for keeping my secrets but I have to go alone!" He said and about to walk away from them going to the North direction where the war ends when three of them walked in front of him and blocked him. 

"Bring us! Please!" All of them kneeled and begs for him. 

Danym shook his head.

"No! I need to do my mission alone and this was too dangerous for a human-like you!" He warned his comrades but they insisted. 

"Please, we won't tell anyone. We can help you. We know a place where you can find a beautiful princess and we guess it's in the North!" Their eyes are sparkling with a wink. 

Danym closer his eyes and made a decision. 

"Okay, hop above my wings! Hold unto it and never let go, okay!" He told his friends after he shifted himself into a giant Black Dragon and spread his scales wings from every side and soar the high dark gray sky.
