Chapter 6.1: The Golden Castle

The next day had to start with another training session. This time we fought in threes. Aaron, Macy and Axl, and you, Lance and Clay.


Well, you wouldn't call it training, because you and your brother had to mainly chase after Lance and not fight him.


The white knight used his lance to avoid the two of you.


- What are you doing? This isn't training if you're running away all the time. - Clay said.


He only sent him a satisfied smile, which made Clay growl. Having finally had enough of this, you kicked his lance, causing the white knight to fall to the ground with a bang.


- Bravo, sister. And now, attack! - said Clay with a smile and swing his sword. 


You also swung your blade, but you were interrupted by the knight's shout when his phone rang. - Break! I have to take a break. - He said and picked up the phone.


The illusion of the village disappeared, and Macy who was standing on the stall fell to the ground. You croaked, not even looking in her direction. You all walked up to Lance and listened to him talk to some guy. 


- Hey Maynard, do you have news? I mean good news. - Lance said.


- Lancelot, if they weren't good, I wouldn't have called you. Nor would I take your calls.


You all looked at each other confused.


- But since I'm calling, you can be happy boy!


- Yes, I deserved it! I mean, look at me! - said Lance and and gave each of you a hug.


Axl grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.


- What is this all about? - he asked.


- Yeah, I'm used to Lance's style of being, but this was an exaggeration. - Aaron said. 


- Even Jurgen von Stroheim himself agreed to be the director. He like your project and ordered the construction of a new castle, so empty your schedule boy!


Maynard hung up and Clay approached an excited Lance.


- Lance. What's going on here?


- Nothing, except that I... I'm going to play the main role in the movie of Golden Castle! 


Everyone gasped in shock and amazement, but you burst into laughter. Lance? In the Golden Castle? Hah! Good jokes.


- No way! Awesome! - said Aaron excitedly.


- And I really don't believe it. Merlok defeated Monstrux in film and reality. Who would you play?- Clay asked.


Macy gasped. - No, just don't tell me that you, the weakest knight of us all, will play Ned Knightly, the greatest knight in history!


Lance snorted. - Of course not, this movie is a new look. A work of historical and artistic science fiction, and most importantly, you too can play in it! Of course, less important characters not the main role like me.


- Awesome! I always wanted to become an actor you know? - said Aaron, glancing at you.


- Well, as long as it doesn't interfere with training. - Clay said.


- It won't, I promise! Macy?


- I think not.


Lance wheezed. - What, why?! Macy, you read about the story of the Golden Castle, how could you not play.


Macy groaned, but agreed. Lance then looked at you with a meaningful smile.


- No. 


Lance gasped dramatically. - What, why!? But...! 


- Lance, no offense, but I can't. First of all, I get stressed out if someone records me. Second... I'm not fond of videos about knights. The Golden Castle, I must admit is a masterpiece, but.... too much heroic sounding characters. It's like they're showing off their bravery and not taking it seriously. And third and most importantly, I have a rather busy schedule for today. 


- How so? - Clay asked.


- I have to meet with some people today and I can't turn it down. It's very important. That's why Lance, I won't participate in this film. I'm sorry.


Lance sighed. - That's fine, but remember that I urged you and, so that you won't hold a grudge against me later!


- I understood. Okay, the training is over. We can go on our way?


You went back to your room and took the most important things. A backpack with special clothes, a mask and a book with text. Team rehearsal.


You acted in a group called the Trouble Makers. You, Ben and Finn are the founders of the band. You're the only one with an anonymous identity and carry the nickname Peacebreaker. No one except the band, the manager and a select few know, that you're him.


You went outside Fortrex, where your fighter jet and the knights who waited for Lance were waiting. You stowed your belongings in the cockpit and went inside.


- Have fun with the filming. I'm flying to meetings, I'll be there in the evening at the latest. See you there!


You took off into the air at full speed and headed for Funnyton. Studio, where rehearsals take place. You landed in an underground garage and went out to meet team members. In a big villa that people didn't know the Trouble Makers lived there. You entered the living room, where the band was sitting on a big gray couch.


Finn, Ben, Allison, Thomas and Mari. They all looked at you and smiled broadly.


Finn is nineteen years old. He has blond hair and emerald eyes. He has scar on his neck. How did this happen, you ask? It's none of your business. He has one eyebrow pierced.


Ben is eighteen years old. He has coal-black hair and gray eyes. On his arm he has a tattoo with a wolf symbol.


Mari is twenty years old. She has dark blue hair and blue eyes.


Thomas is the oldest of you all, as he is twenty-two years old, but he still looks like a teenager. He has silver hair color and brown eyes. He also has a light beard. He has a fair amount of tattoos on his arms.


Allison is also eighteen years old. She is Thomas' younger sister. She has chestnut curly hair and brown eyes. 


- Well, there you go, you finally came! - said Finn cheerfully and walked up to you.


- How are you, Finn? - You said, high-fiving him.


- I'm pretty good! Your team let you go? - He asked.


- Yeah, I didn't say where I was going, though. - You replied, shrugging.


-  And that's our girl! Haha! - Thomas laughed.


- All right, no more of this. Let's go do a rehearsal or you called me for nothing. - said an annoyed Ben.


- There, there, take it easy... Ben-erino. - laughed Allison.


Ben groaned and put his hood over his head, embarrassed.


You all laughed at him and after brief greetings went to the music studio. Into a large hall with microphones and instruments. On the floor were several black metal boxes with cables and lighting.


On the walls hung records and paintings and posters depicting your band and each individual on a separate poster. You went to your seat and pulled out your black electric guitar from its case.


In the band, that is you, you played guitar as did Finn, Thomas played bass and Ben was the drummer. Allison was your substitute, because of your work as a knight and Mari was the agent.  


You had prepared your equipment and were ready to play.


- So, here we go. Legendary. - Finn said.

The song ended, and Finn and Ben started cheering excitedly, while you and Thomas laughed happily. 


- We rule! This song is awesome! - exclaimed Finn.


- Yes, after all, that song is the most popular on Knightube. - said Ben, shrugging his shoulders.


You all laughed. Miriam came into the room. The housekeeper who takes care of the villa and lives here with your team. She is a middle-aged woman with beautiful curly blond hair and emerald eyes. She is a woman with a good heart and is very protective of you. You all treat her like your mother


In her hands she held a tray of cocktails. She placed them on the coffee table and smiled warmly at you.


- Hi Miriam. - you said hello, waving to her.


- Hello, darling. How's your work going? - she said and sat down on a black chair.


- Great, Miriam. A little more and the concert will be the best event in the kingdom. - Finn said cheerfully.


- It's great to hear that. Will you play something else?


- Well, of course we will! Then what are the Trouble Makers? - Thomas asked.


- Sure. One... two... three!

Lyrics: 

[ Verse 1: Finn] 

''I'm the devil's son, straight out of hell,

And you're an angel with a haunted heart,
If you're smart you'd run and protect yourself,
From the demon living in the dark,
There's nothing to be gained, 'cause I can never change,
And you can never understand my sickness,
(I'll never understand my sickness)''


[ Chorus: Finn ] 

''Save yourself
From a life full of lies
And a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make
'Cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
Save yourself''


[ Verse 2: Finn ]

''You're the perfect drug, when it hurts like hell,
I've never needed anyone so much,
There's no one else I love and I curse myself,
'Cause the right thing is to give you up,
I'm overcome by shame, 'cause I can never change,
And you can never understand my sickness,
(I'll never understand my sickness)''


[ Chorus: Finn ]

''Save yourself
From a life full of lies
And a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make
'Cause nothing but failure follows me

Save yourself

From a life full of lies
And a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make
'Cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
Save yourself''



[ Verse 3 and Chorus: Finn and Thomas]

''You'll never understand my sickness,

(I'll never understand my sickness),
'Cause I don't understand my sickness,
(I'll never understand my sickness),


Save yourself,
From a life full of lies,
And a heart full of pain and sorrow,
Save yourself,
From the choices I make,
'Cause nothing but failure follows me,


Save yourself,
From a life full of lies,
And a heart full of pain and sorrow,
Save yourself,
From the choices I make,
'Cause nothing but failure follows me,
Save yourself,
Save yourself''


Miriam smiled and clapped her hands, and the Trouble Makers bowed.


 - Well done, my dears. Your fans will go crazy at the concert.


- Thank you, Miriam. - you all replied at the same time.


- Have fun, I'll go prepare something to eat. Drink cocktails, they will give you strength. - said Miriam in a motherly tone and left the studio. 


- The World Belongs To Me? - you suggested.


They nodded their heads and you started playing.

Lyrics: 

[Intro: (Y/N)]

''I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin',
Left here behind all alone and forgotten,
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me''


[ Verse 1: (Y/N)]

''So many roads that I've taken, when nobody thought I could make it,
And even though I had to go it alone, I still survived,
When you live in the darkness there's always confusion,
Sometimes your mind will provide the illusion,
And your life can change in the blink of an eye, yeah''


[Chorus: (Y/N)]

''I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me''


[ Verse 2: (Y/N)]

''I opened a box full of secrets where the strongest of thoughts couldn't keep them,
And even though I was the last to know, they were livin' inside,
When you see through the darkness and find the solution,
How quickly your eyes will remove the illusion,
You know our life is gonna change in the blink of an eye, yeah''


[ Chorus and ending: (Y/N)]

''I look to the sky but there's someobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten,
So now the world belongs to me,
To live and to die by the word that is spoken,
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken,
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me yeah, yeah


Someone's got to show you goin' that way yeah, yeah
There was nothing standing in my way yeah, yeah


I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
A hero was born from a soul that's forgotten,
So now the world belongs to me,
To live and to die by the word that is spoken,
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken,
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me''



After the song, you decided to take a break and sat on the couch and started drinking cocktails made by Miriam.


- Hey, we still have to play and improve Superhero. - Ben said, putting his glass down on the table.


- Yeah, we'll do it right away. - you said, when you were interrupted by the phone.


Everyone looked at you.


- Oho, they already miss you. - said Thomas, looking at your phone, where Lance's name was displayed to you.


- Stop. Lance's calling me. Lance, that means something is up. - You said and answered the call. 


- Hi Lance, what do you want? - You asked.


- Hey, (Y/N). Could you come back to Fortrex? I know you said you'd be there in the evening, but it's important.


- Let me guess, something is up and it's about your movie, right? - You asked, glancing at your band, who whispering something to each other and giggling.


- Sort of. Then you will come or not?


- Give me a few minutes.


Finn smiled goofily and shouted into your phone.


- (Y/N), baby! You're already leaving us!!!? Your's beloved boys!!!?


Ben and Thomas burst into loud laughter, that could be heard throughout the villa. You pushed Finn off the couch, making him fall to the ground, laughing. Ben and Thomas roared with laughter and choked with laughter.


- Finn, you fucking idiot! - you growled at him with an almost burning face.


- But what do you mean honey, after all you love it. - joked Ben and again whooped with laughter.


- Em... (Y/N)? Everything is fine?- you heard Macy's voice.


Ben took the phone from you, before you had time to answer.


- Our beloved will be with you in ten minutes. Have a nice day. ~ - He said and hung up. 


He gave you back the phone and you reached for a broom and whacked them with a stick.


- What was that supposed to be!!? - You asked with fury in your eyes.


- Sorry, but it was revenge for Jane. - replied Ben with a smile.


- Argh. I hate you guys.


- We love you too sister. - replied Thomas. 


- Okay, I'm off to save their asses. I'll come tomorrow. - You said, and after packing your things, you went to the garage.


In no time you were back at Fortrex looking for the knights. You heard shouting in the training room and went inside. The sight you saw almost knocked you off your feet.


Knights, dressed in some cheap clothes and helmets. Your jaw dropped and you stared at them in shock.


- Hey, (Y/N). You finally came. - said Clay and approached you along with the others.


- Yeaaaa.... But, but, but what the hell are you guys wearing? - You asked, looking at them from top to bottom.


- These are the costumes the director gave us. - answered Axl, glancing down at himself.


You stared at him, not believing it was true. These are supposedly costumes!?


You snorted with a light laugh. - Seriously!? These are costumes!? It looks like... like some old junk from some grandmother's drawer. No offense, you guys look great in this, but what is this!?


- Anyway, you know, what I called you for. - said Lance, coming up to you.


- I can guess. - you replied.


- I wanted an opinion of yours. What the film looks like and whether it will appeal to viewers. And above all whether my role is the best. 


- Do you want my opinion? - You asked while glancing at him with deadpan.


- Yes. - he answered confidently.


 - How honestly?


- To the point of pain. - repiled the knights.


- Okay, this is crap. The costumes look terrible, the characters are awesome, but.... they are not well into the role, it shows. You have too big a role than we could want, the audience and the script.... is... very dull. - You said, looking at the script on Lance's phone. 


- I told you. - Macy hissed.


- What, but Jurgen said...! - began Lance.


- Wait a minute... Jurgen? This Jurgen von Stroihem.... then I'm not surprised. - replied.


- Do you know him? - asked surprised Macy.


- I don't just know him. He is the worst director there is. Why didn't you ask Werner about directing? - You asked.


- Werner? Who's that? - Axl asked.


- Werner is the director, who was responsible for the script of the real Golden Castle. He knows what it is... stage life. - you said.


All the knights looked daggers at Lance.


- Relax, there might still be a chance to fix this movie. - You said with a smile. - But this time... I'll take on him. And we'll make it the best movie ever.


- Really? Great! - Aaron said.


- Yeah, and you will get roles that will be a pleasure to play. - you said. - Just need to make some phone calls.
