"What happens now? How does the light princess and the dark prince come together?"
CHAPTER 1:THE DARK PRINCE
Waking up with a hungover, Adeline stretched out painfully feeling Leon's head resting on her bed with his shiny black hair covering his face. Adeline admired the beauty of the man fast asleep with his muscular aura and misty smell swiveling in the room. She run her fingers through his hair delicately as a smile crept on her face. She felt a thrumming of energy coursing through her wanting to burst out. *Zap!! Sparks rushed out her fingertips jolting Leon awake immediately. Surprised visibly etched in his face he looked at Adeline who had her hand withdrawn and staring back at him. "Sorry! I.. I.. I didn't mean to...". "Looks like your prowess are growing fast and want to come out.. please refrain from releasing too much magic else you'll be drained..." Leon said with deep concern. The carriage pulled up Infront as the horses came to a halt noisily as of they were not in agreement with the Coachman. Christy walked in to prepare the princess for the journey.
Soon they were ready to set off. Adeline squeaked with surprise when she saw Lord Fleischer who had also come with the coach to pick her up. Cursing underneath his breath Leon mount his horse barking orders at the other knights. They were soon on their way with Leon riding closely to the carriage with Lord Fleischer on the other side chatting amiably with Adeline. After three hours of traveling without stoping they soon reached a village, got rooms in an inn to settle for the night. Leon learnt of a regular attack from bandits who raided the town every fortnight. They called them the Fortnite bandits and they were due that night particularly. With further warning Leon with the knights set to devise a plan to help the villagers.
Nightfall came as darkness spread her broad wings all over the place. Dark figures were seen approaching from the woods with torches in hand towards the village. Windows begun to shut closed with doors double locked as the galloping of horses rushed into the village. Lightning broke out causing the horses to fret in fear and high up in the air their fore hooves were. The masked bandits calmed the horses but was soon overtaken by surprise as dark silhouettes rushed at them striking them down easily. One of the bandits shot a cracker up into the sky to call for back up. Swords clang and drive through bodies as painful groans are heard. Overpowered by the defense the bandits set to retreat but found no way out but had to hold until the back up came in.
*Bang!!! A firecracker was seen up in the skies coming from the village, alarmed, Frey, the bandit leader rose up from his seat calling out all his men to assemble to attack. Readily assembled the men stood awaiting orders to move in as backup, three figures on horses rush in. One of the men walks up with haste to report to Frey of the resistance met. His wrinkled face grew red with anger causing him to overturn a table with furry burning in his chest. "Preposterous! Never has it been heard of that we the Fortnite bandits have been attacked!! Who dares stand in our way? We attack full force, let show them what it means to stand in our way.." Frey barked out angrily.. "yess!!!!!!!" All the men shout in unison. "That would be a foolish thing to do.." a strong voice boomed out causing everyone to turn back to see who the voice belonged to. Erect with an ominous aura stood a well built man in dark clothes with a silver mask covering half his face.
Turning to see who that was Frey questioned the stranger "what? What did you just say and who the hell are you? Someone seize this intruder now!" Two men attack the intruder but fall dead as he decapitated their heads off. Everyone gasped with surprise. "Who I am shouldn't be your concern now worry about your lives for no one meets me and lives! "He smiled menacingly.." that's the prince of darkness!" exclaimed one of the men as he moved back in fear. A sword drove through him as he choked with his eyes bulging. "I don't care who the hell he is though i admire his sense of fashion but this isn't a halloween party,kill him immediately!" He commanded. All the men attack but fall dead before reaching him.
CHAPTER 2: THE DARK PRINCE 2
With ease the dark prince struck all the men leaving them all dead within a blink as if time had frozen. Looking vicious as blood dripped from his sword he raised his head to look at Frey who stood trembling with fear and frustration. Forming a defensive barrier with water around himself Frey took a defensive stance. "Ahhh I see you are an Atlantian, then fight with magic it is.." he withdrew his sword back into it's sheath. He stretched his hand towards the bandit leader in water bubble. "What .. what are you doing?" Frey asked as he felt the bubble tightening. A strong blaze of glass fire rose all around the bubble as it solidified. "What do you think of a glass bubble since you love defensive bubbles?" Within seconds that water bubble had solidified into a transparent glass ball set ablaze.. "no..no..nooooo... Please stop it no..no uhhhhhhhhh" Frey shouted frantically as he felt his body heating up then finally set ablaze. "Death is the ultimate answer to all pain but I won't give it to you easily.." Frey felt his cells tearing into pieces apart. Satisfied with his work the masked figure turned and teleported without a sound just as he came.
Though the bandits were ambushed they managed to destroy few properties setting fire to the inn lodge. All the knights were accounted for except Leon who was no where to be found. The villagers came out hastily to put out the fire as the knights rushed in for the princess. The fire blazed angrily trapping the lodgers within. Frantically passing buckets of water which seemed futile in quenching the fire. Leon rushed into the fire without second thought upon arrival at the scene. The fire settled down gently as if it had a mind of its own. Stepping out of the ruins, Leon came out holding Adeline with a wet cloth covering her all with Christy following closely. Fresh relief spread over the knights thanking the goddess.
They set out on their way the next day with lots of provisions for their journey. Adeline sought to petition her father upon arrival to post guards to the village. For hours without stopping they went until the sun decided to hide back for the night to reign. After settling to make camp, Leon set out to hunt for dinner. Catching on to a wild boar's track Leon followed it leading him to a struggling man underneath the animal struggling. He called out for help seeing Leon approach. Leon stood, fascinated as he watched the man struggle for a while. With a single move of his hand the boar squealed painfully then fell off the man dead with tongue pulled out. "Who are you and how did you do that?" He asked as he stood up. Leon looked at him then smiles as he picked up the boar, " I have a hunch you will be of great use to me in the near future so keep your head on your neck while you can and who I am is of no need" Leon said focussed on his game. "I'm Cudi..see you are not from around here are ya'?" Leon ignored him then walked off. Smithened with disbelief the man stood watching Leon retreat into the bushes.
CHAPTER 3:THE ENCOUNTER
*Screech.."ugh can you not do that Forge?" Leon complained telepathically to Forge. "Sorry just need your attention,we have some group of bandits on your trail!" "How many?".."two dozens in black hoods..". Alert Leon made the party continue their course without delay. A few metres away from their campsite, the party halted abruptly as an arrow was shot right ahead of them. "Ambush!" Shouted a knight as they rushed to surround the princess.leon signaled Sir Fleischer to stand close to the princess as he paced forward on his horse. The atmosphere became heavy with his dark menacing aura as he approached the group of hooded men surrounding their party. From the corner of his eye he surveyed the area,taking notice of the hidden achers in the trees. Communicating telepathically with his shadow guards he got off his horse.
A man with short crimson hair,lowly cut revealing his thun masculine face with a set of mild auburn eyes walked forward with a few metres away from Leon. He shivered at the aura of the man standing before him and thus took steps back trying to compose himself. "You tread on our lands and as such must pay for safe passage. You look noble enough from your looks..say you give up all your possession and walk away with your lives and those beautiful ladies in the carriage."He spoke trying to look intimidating as possible. Looking on with a sinister smile Leon responded, "I'm afraid that won't be possible!". Surprise filled the bandits causing them to rock with laughter. "Well if you prefer violence men are ever ready to oblige. You give us no option but to take you all in with force.. "
"Force is definitely necessary if you ask me which we wouldn't want to do so gather your boys scout and leave our path for we journey against time!" Leon mounted his horse signaling the knights to be ready. He unsheathed his sword with bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
A young man quickly rushed forward recognizing Leon on his horse, he whispered into the leaders ear which softened the look in his face. Looking up to Leon he said with an appreciative gleam in his eyes.
