Revisiting The Past - Part 2
"Wh-what?!"
I nodded solemly.
"Y-ya, he says he's gonna die soon," I looked down at me, biting my lip and trying not cry.
"...Oh-no." The queen seemed to be in shock, the king seemed near frenzy, where Mr. Steiner already was.
"WHAT?! No! This can't be! I will not beleive such a horrible thing!" Mr. Steiner was screaming and jumping, making his heavy armor crash together loudly. I walked over to the queen and gently tugged on her dress.
"My d-dad said he'd like to see you all again, one more time" I said quietly. She looked down at me with soft sad eyes.
"Okay" She smiled and knelt, taking me into a soft embrace. I hugged back and felt a pair of strong arms wrap around us both.
"I think we should leave immeadatly" The king said softly.
"Yes, we should" They both stood back up and looked at each other, then to Mr. Steiner, who was still ranting.
"Steiner!"
"This is-uh, y-yes, your highness?" He suddenly brought himself together.
"Gather our things, we'll be taking the Invincible to the Black Mage Village" The king said in a royal tone.
"Yes, your highness!" He ran off somewhere, probably to prepare the ship or something.
"Why don't you have a seat? You must be tired after your trip" The queen said.
"S-sure" She motioned for me to follow her, and I found myself in what seemed to be the dining area, she motioned to big comfy looking chair, to the right of the head of the table. I sat down quietly, laying my things on floor, and my staff across my lap. The queen gently sat down at the head, and king plopped now next to her.
"So...how was your trip here?" The king asked.
"W-well, it was fine. It was kinda scary at first, I had never left the village before, but with the map dad gave me, it wasn't so hard getting here...but Fossil Roo was really confusing" I said, looking at my feet swinging above the floor. They gave a small nod and we sat in silence for a while. Before long we could hear the clanking of Mr. Steiner's armor as he ran down the hall.
"Your Majesty," he saluted, "The Invincible is ready."
"Let us depart immeadatly" The queen stood and then paused, "Excuse me for one moment, I shall meet you all on board." I watched her dash up the stairs, then felt the king gave me a little push.
"Come on, let's go" He smiled and began to walk off towards the gigantic ship. I followed close behind, keeping my eye on the wag of the king's tail, so I didn't lose him.
"Here we are, go ahead and climb on board" The king smilied and showed me to the dock. I walked in and looked around for a moment, before deciding to sit at the bridge, so I could watch the clouds.
"Okay, I'm here, we can lift off now."
The queen had changed into an orange jump suit, traveling in a fancy gown is kinda difficult, I guess. A moment later, the ship had started, and we had lifted straight up into the air, and had begun our trip.
