Chapter 10: The Temple

One month has passed since Will saw the dragon


Will's P.O.V.

I lay in my bed. I'm calling it my bed now since I'm starting to think I may live here for the rest of my life. I'm starting to want to be near Caroline ag all times but why? For some reason I feel really happy around her... Like, really happy. I'm bored without her right now and I remember seeing that dragon. It's tail smashed on the wall which sent a stone flying at me and struck me by the top corner of my head. Nobody's noticed since my hair can easily cover it, It stung when it recently happened but now I can't feel it, I just hope it doesn't lead to infection but that means I'd have to tell or lie to someone about it but I don't want to lie. They could probably see through my lie anyway. The door clicks open and I see Daphnea and Norasha walk in. Daphnea is holding the key. "Hey, Will. We're going to go to the temple. Want to come along?" She asks me. "The temple?" I asks confused. "It's a place where you learn about the history of the Kingdom. You also learn about the past royals and God's and goddesses." Norasha happily tells me. I nod and that actually sounds interesting, I didn't think this place would have godlike entities.

I exit the room and see a few Guards around and about. Good thing none of them is the one who cut me with the dagger, in fact, whenever I see a group of these things it's all I focus on... I just don't feel safe seeing him unless they're around but they're always around me. We walk out of the castle and make our way to where this temple is. "You see that, Will? That really tall building with the Crystals above it?" Norasha says as she points to a building far taller than any of the houses but not nearly as tall as the palace. The Crystals look like giant amethysts from their purple color but as I get closer, I notice there's a giant statue on the very top of the building in the shape of an eye painted green. "Yeah, I see it." I tell Norasha. Norasha nods and focuses her attention to getting to the temple. Now I'll always know where it is thanks to it's massive size. We walk further and further and further and soon reach it. It's door decorated with shiny gems consisting of amethysts, onyx and other black and purple jewels which is a good color combination for this place. The door is large with a guard on each side of the door. The Guards both shoot an odd look at me but they open the door anyway. We walk in and the place is incredibly well made and seems like a hard building to knock down.

Our footsteps echo through this temple and it gives me a vibe of being in a museum, it is where they go to learn about their history after all. I look around and see there's around sixteen of those things from what I can see... What were they called again? I can't remember. "Hey, Norasha. What are those things called again?" I whisper. "Endermen." She whispers back. I see this place has large paintings all around the walls and one painting captures my attention. It's a man who's eyes are colored differently. No pupils and all of his eyes are colored... No whiteness in the eyes or pupils... One eye is orange and the other is purple. There are black markings in crack-like patterns all over his arms, neck and trailing under his eyes to his chin while the rest of his body is covered by what looks like a dress. The dress looks so well made and is colored mostly white with red and blue patterns. He's holding something in his arms which is either a blanket or a hooded cape which is also colored mostly white with red and blue patterns on it but something about the cape which interests me most is a gold circular decoration on it like a coin.

I look around and see another painting. It's Caroline! Her purple hair and serpentine eyes. She's even wearing a fancy black and purple dress. I find myself gazing at it. "Uhh... Will?" Daphnea says. I shake my head and put my attention to her. "Will. You've been staring at that painting of Caroline for literally ten minutes." Daphnea tells me but I swear it's been a couple seconds  or so. I go to look at two other portraits at the right of her. I go to the furthest right which says Queen Aurora, the middle is King Sepiar and the last is Queen Caroline. Past royals? Did Aurora and Sepiar marry eachother? Are they still alive? My mind is completely clouded with all these questions. Wait... How long has this Kingdom been around? Maybe since it's three royals it's been around for three generations or maybe two generations since King Sepiar and Queen Aurora had to marry someone since they're royal. I'll have to ask Caroline or someone else. I suddenly have the feeling I'm being watched but since I'm a human, I'm probably being stared at by all those tall things.

... Two days pass ...


It's been two days since we've went to the temple and I'm in the room I sleep in but at this point it's my room. Sometimes I literally spend days in here. I hear the door click and Daphnea and Norasha walk through. "Hi, Will." Norasha says as she waves. I wave back and go to them, wondering if we're going anywhere. Caroline comes in and before I can say anything she grabs my hand and takes me to a room with musical instruments. There's a piano at the center. Whenever I get the chance, I use the piano since there's not much to do. "Will. Since you've been in that room for so long, I'll let you use the piano." Caroline tells me and I nod. I sit on the tiny chair at the piano and decide what tune I should play. "Daphnea, Norasha. You two can leave. I need some time alone with Will." Caroline sternly tells the two and they do as she says. Caroline walks to me which causes me to feel more tense but I don't know why, and even the tune I play is seeming unfocused. My tune was already unfocused but even I can tell how off it is. She gets even closer. I'm so much more tense right now.


Enderman's P.O.V.

I have two tiny creatures in my arms which are covered in fur with long ears. They're rabbits. They were squirming in my arms but after a while they've finally stopped. There's something different about these rabbits, there are eyes are hot pink and it's fur is a light pink color. I saw Queen Caroline carrying a glowing red butterfly in a jar and it makes me wonder where these animals are coming from.


I know I said I wanted something special to happen this chapter but I limit the word count to around 1000, so the special thing will have to happen in the next chapter)
