"Sorrows sorrows prayers my child." Chanting softly in an all white flowing garment with her long hair let down as she rocked a fury animal in a melancholic tone.
"Your highness please get up the bare floor is unfit for your royal butt." An unseen voice boomed out of nowhere just as her sobs increased.
"But the Unanimous Elders verdict against my poor child was also unfit Scalvus I need to repent of my sins, for being a useless mother." Then suddenly a blinding light shone throughout the throne room turning into a huge crystal ball that rotates in which she blocked her vision due to the reflection,blinking when the light dimmed only to sight the hazy figure of a horrific looking dragdemo making her expression turn pale that she thrust the furry animal away in startle.
"Who are you? Why have you come! Who let this beast in!" Yet the dragdemo gingerly walked in light steps laughing perilously as it neared her while she in turn jumped to her feet pointing a staff towards it.
"Get away from me you vermin!" Gasping and dragging her feet backwards,a faint light beeped on the staff then it died making the dragdemo roar in a round of evil chortle.
"Is that you Fear? I see you even now that you have possessed such royalty." In a beastly tone,the dragdemo swiftly entwined it's claws creating a burning arrow that her eyes froze in fright.
"Guards help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amber's POV
*************
I opened my eyes to a bright blue sky trying to remember where I was before now but my memory seemed vague then I finally took a conscious look above again making me jump to my feet as I had been lying on bare ground wait! It's not bare I realized taking a second look at the pavement that I almost passed out from surprise.
"Is this civilization or what? Blue sky! Tarred roads people Yes! people." I said aloud hurrying over to the other side of the road without caring about my disheveled appearance so long I was home then getting to a stop I saw a long line of people at a bus terminal not just people human people! that I screamed crazily in triumph attracting the attention of a few concerned stares.
"No I'm not crazy! I time traveled, anyone ever done that before." I tried unsuccessfully to justify my excitement not before joining in on the line as I chuckled joyfully not minding the uncomfortable looks being thrown at me.
"You know I saw Elves and Trolls real life ones, we talked and did everything humanly bet you can't believe that." Poking a random lady in front of me who turned back awkwardly as I was extra tall for my age so most people usually thought I was one of the grown ups.
Even with the my excitement I still noticed something was odd like things being out of place.
"Since when did the moon appear during the day and why is everywhere so quiet no one's talking." My head peered about the area only realizing much too late that the human figures never moved from their spot just as how the ticket guy had been repeating his motion of tearing out a piece of a paper to a stout lady, with these happenings fear gripped my throat making me stumble out of the line then a friendly voice called out far behind me.
"Hey girl the bus is leaving soon." I halted in my steps, dreading turning back but what choice did I have than to take a bus.
"Don't be such a pessimist Amber relax this is earth and they are earthly people." I tried to assure myself that when I reached home and slept off,my trip to Mist Universe and all its creatures will amount to an adventurous dream when I wake up.
"Yes I'm coming." I turned hurrying back to the unmoving queue just as I sensed a bad smell my eyes widened in awareness making me pause in terror.
Now everything came back to me that I had never left Witslon since I could still stiff out grotesques.
"Rule number one Never Act So Smart Amber." Whispering to myself I instantly started moving back stealthily with my eyes averted from the shape shifter demon who knew what it could have up its sleeves even if I felt like taking to my heels desperately as my pounding chest was almost audible I knew that would be the worst decision to take right now.
"Come for your tickets now girl." Then the ticket guy gradually transformed into a black bloated monster with several spikes on its lumpy body emitting a loud mocking laughter that adrenaline rushed through my spines who was going to save me now? I wondered in regret I should not have ran away these thoughts made my eyes glisten with shiny tears.
As the monster expanded the other earthly images of things I foolishly thought was my real world vanished into thin air and I found myself alone in a black world filled with nothingness.
"Help me! Zika! Loel!" I twirled in confusion and fright unable to sight a thing not even a dot of light that I was besides myself with panic.
"Ha ha ha ha Oh child! Such innocence." It's ominous voice resounded as it loomed darkness over her head.
"Please don't harm me evil spirit I'm not from your world I swear I don't know who's princess Amber I'm just Amber a little girl from the city." I rushed my words in a desperate attempt to convince a certain demon force that I was never supposed to be in their world in the first place yet its presence clouded me more menacingly making me shudder in extreme fright.
"Of course you're not from our world, Now! to capture the prisoner." Then the darkness suddenly globed together giving way to a burst of lighting that the force flung me to the ground allowing a shriek escape my quivering lips then I shakily forced myself up, my sight greeting the figures of several other grotesques as they encircled me,chanting odd words which I guessed were magical.
"No! No! Please don't kill me." I shouted in plea atop my voice that my last resort was to flee but what could a mere human do against such monsters.
Yet I'll have to try, so starting with a jog I increased my speed without looking back when the temptation kicked in to turn I swiftly glanced over my shoulder only to observe I was far gone from them with a little spark of triumph in my vein I bumped my foot on a rock slumping to the ground before I could say 'Jack' a cage closed in on me.
"No no no no no no no no No!" Thankfully it wasn't an animal-like cage like before but a cage still meant trouble as I banged the metals futilely alongside sobs.
Then I paused when the reek in my nostrils came back more strongly that I nearly screamed safe for the appearance of a gigantic demon looking more ferocious than the others as we were in a huge cave which in fantasy stories might be called a demon's den.
As it approached me I became extra aware of my surroundings, the cage was atop a rocky platform at the center of the cave weird enough that I didn't even feel it rise to this height hmmm magic was really fascinating but only in stories I thought in horror as troops of other horrendous beings gradually filled the area going to over a crowd of them what were they going to do with me? Fry me in a big fat pot of spell portions? Behead me for a demon festival? Or worse scar my face to look like them that the imagination made me cringe.
As though to satisfy my curiosity the gigantic looking monster gazed up at my vulnerable figure trapped in a metal cage then it signaled for something while a few hurried out and back bringing an item he's probably the leader I concluded feverishly.
"Princes Amber it is a great honor to have you at our annual feast but we won't be feasting with you I'm afraid." The devilish stare of the monster gave me more chills that it's voice that I quickly grasped the meaning of the statement of course I said it they wanted my head for a feast and at that moment I sincerely hoped a normal human being dying in a fantasy world ultimately meant they'd be awaken in their original world like a bad dream as in the stories I had read I prayed it all came true.
Before I knew it the grotesques had merged into a whole body that it seemed like I could get swallowed up anytime soon.
"You can't kill me bad demon I'm not from here." I wasn't sure how I regained my voice but I needed to dissuade this being whichever even with my racing heart beat then I saw the black force hover in the air sinisterly following its collapse on me.........
