Then sunrise was so calm and beautiful. They sat next to each other linking hands. The sound of metal boots clanking together gathered there attention. They looked back watching the tall knight in diamond armour pulled his helmet off. "Princess Pandora, Prince Zaydon, your parents have requested your immediate attendance to the royal dinning area" he spoke softly holding his helmet against his hip.

The wind blew through the drakes scales, pushing the ribbons tied to its neck to flow through the wind, and the feathers to spread, warming the drake. The princess looked over at the prince "they never request anything of us, what do you think is going on?". He turned around to face her, "I'm sure it's nothing, probably just a criminal that broke loose". He smiled at her, lying to her was hard, she's such an intelligent girl.

As they approached the castle, they noticed so many of the villagers crying, and depressed. Pandora clenched tightly onto the saddle.

They started to climb up the castle walls to the very top where the dining area was located. As they un-mounted the drakes, she saw her mother starring at her food, not even bothering to lift up her fork. She grabbed Zaydon's arm, walking towards the table. He pulled out a chair for her and then one for himself. "Pandora, Prince Zaydon, so nice of you to make it" Pandora's father greeted them.

The chef pushed a tray of food over to the table, they had; blue lobsters, zaps*, different types of berries, and even manticore meat which is super rare to find and then even kill.

"Mother, why did you request us present?" Pandora placed her cup of mineral water down. Her father stopped eating, and looked up at her. "Well, you see Pandora, your father will tell you all about that" she dodged the bullet Pandora shot at her.

The king cleared his throat and placed his napkin down. "There's no easy way to this but, our planet, Navoriia, is dying —" Pandora's eye opened more. She stood up rapidly, causing her chair to fall over. "So your telling me, our planets dying?! How long have you all known this? Zaydon, did you know?" She looked over at him with fear and anger. He starred into her eyes. "I'm sorry, Pandora —" he started to say as she walked around the room "well thanks a lot! I thought we were family? Family doesn't keep secrets from one another—" she started. "Pandora calm down" her father said.

"No, no, you wanna know why, I loved this family, and I want still believe that, but know you come to me and tell me our planets dying? How long has it been dying for?" She walked over to her chair and flipped it back up, sitting down again. "For a week now" her mother said. Pandora sighed. She stood up and started walking over to the exit "Pandora where are you going?" She stopped and looked back with tears under her eyes, "to my room, Zaydon" she continued to walk out, closing the door behind her.

Zaydon stood up and bowed thanking the king and queen for the food. He walked out the same way as Pandora and went to her chamber. The door cracked open, he looked through the crack and saw her laying in her bed, with her petals and leafs opened up wide.

He stepped through the door and starred some more at the brilliant colours that were being thrown in his face. "You know, I don't think I've ever seen you with your petals with such a hurtful colour on them", he sat down next to her. She sat up and leaned against him "that's because I've never had a reason nor the need to be angry like this" she sighed. "Perhaps your not angry" he kissed her head. She looked at him in the eyes. His cat like eyes calmed her but also put a chill down her spine. "What do you think it is then"? She looked worried. "Sadness" he looked down at her. She looked deeper into his eyes. He stood up and towered over her. He reached his hand out to help her up, she went to reach for his hand but then the palace started to tremble.

The exchanged looks and ran out the doors. Two of the royal knights where running towards them, the same knight from before, Sync, and another. "What's going on"? Zaydon questioned. The knights looked at each other and took a deep breath in. "It's time, Prince Zaydon, your parents are here, and princess Pandora, your parents have requested you as well—" the palace shook again and they fell over. Zaydon helped Pandora up, but the two knights where knocked out from the eerie sound of the metal scratching on the diamond glass walls.

They ran down the floating hall and back into the palace to the escape pods. Pandora looked over at Zaydon, "what are you doing"? She grabbed his arms. "It'll be ok, I promise". He put her into the pod and strapped her in. She struggled to stop him "no no no, Zaydon I'm not leaving without you! Zaydon don't leave me!" She tried to stay a grip of his shirt. He put his hands around her face, "I love you, Pandora"

"No, Zaydon—" he leaned in for a kiss, and placed a golden rose on her chest. She started at him, trying to never let him out of her sight. She started to feel eerie, when Zaydon kissed her, he poisoned her with a spell that makes one fall asleep till a certain time.

He smiled and closed the pod doors. All Pandora could remember was the sound of his voice instantly stop, as a bunch of diamond glass slammed onto the ground, and fall once again. She covered her mouth, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Dude, it's been asleep (or maybe even dead) for god only knows how long!" Chen sped up following Diablo around the room. "I get that Chen, but if there's even a slight possibility of getting it out of this stasis shirt thing, I kinda wanna get it out." He stopped to place an acidic liquid that flowed like the sun into a freezing cold glass jar. "Well if your going to try to do this, at least let me take a DNA sample first—"

"Why"?

"—just in case it ends up being some evil alien from a different planet, we'll have way to defend ourselves" he ran into Diablo. Diablo spinner around and looked at Chen, "fine" he continued to walk over to the "it". He went to pull a petal like object off it, but as he pulled it tugged the other way. "Chen, come here" he pulled some more. Eventually he broke a small piece off. "It" made a screaming sound and started to move. "It" moved the petal like things around to make a face. "It" looked around at all the other creatures and started to scan them. "It" noticed one of them holding he piece of petal that was ripped off of "it". "It" walked over and grabbed it right out of Diablos hand. It opened its mouth and said "why..." Chen and Diablo looked at each other. "Why"? Chen replied. It shook its head. "We we're trying to find a weapon to protect us from you" he spoke slowly hoping it would understand.

It moved closer to Chen. "Thank you for tell me" It smiled and walked over to their fabricating station. It pressed a red button which triggered the machine to start building s blueprint it had just implanted into the machines systems just by simply touching it with one of the vines that it could control.

Chen and Diablo walked over to see what it made. They saw a needle like object that had a hook on the end. "If you feel threatened, feel free to use this on me, It will put me back into a form of stasis until you hurt me triggering my nerve system to force me to wake up" it handed over the hook.

"I'm sorry, who are you"? Diablo asked. "I'm the first princess of Navariia"
