Chapter 3- Show must go on

Minx's POv

We arrive in the kingdom of knighton, I wear a hood  so no can see my face and place the green helmet inside the bag. We snuck inside and try to find the green knight but it was so big. it's like a maze in here, Doom and I try our best not get spotted or there's going to be a panic. I heard the Joust Games are starting and it's a good thing that they're distracted. 

We searched every room and there's no sign of the green knight. We're about to search another room when the 3 Royal Guard who happens to be attending the Joust games saw me. "Hey! you! what are you doing?" one of the Royal Guard said. "Uh- oh let's run" I whispered to doom as we run, i turned to shoulder to see the Royal Guard are chasing us. I wanted to use magic but Doom told me not to so we kept on running. We stopped to see a Big door beside us,  it was locked at first but i manage to cast an opening spell so we hid there but for how long befoer those royal guards.

I looked at the room to see we're in a library or was a library. It looked like everything was blown up. I walked around to see scattered books and burned scrolls. "huh, I guess someone loves books but why is it....?." I asked myself. I looked around to see Doom was holding a burnt book.

I stared at the book and grabbed it when i felt a magic in the book. I looked around and  realize all the books are all magic but how? why is this  room is filled with magic? I wanted to know when Doom nudge me like she was telling me to bring these spell books with us. I stared at the book and grabbed my sceptre. It may be destroyed but it can also be restored with a little magic. I swing my sceptre and pointed at the books

Beware so swear

turn this book as good as new

As the purple light shined at the burnt book turning into a good book. I succeeded in restoring the other books since no one is using them so i kept 4 or 5 books inside the bag coz there's no place to put on my shelves back in the castle but i realize what i've done. I let the Royal Guards know i'm here, asheard the Royal guards are coming. "I know he's around here somewhere, search everyroom....."

  "Oh no at this rate....we'll be caught. What shall we do? Doom" I panic. I don't know what to do then it came to me. Doom know what i was thinking as i turned to her, "I know I haven't perfected my  transformation spells but We don't have a choice if anyone saw I'm a hex girl...they'll panic." Doom understand and took a step back hoping i won't screw up. I heard the Royal Guards are coming and i hastily cast a spell on my self. "Here goes nothing...." 

Beware so swear  

Change me into something 

that can fool anyone

My sceptre began to glow as I was surrounded in purple fog and shined brightly. I opened my eyes whether i did'nt screw up when the big door opened as the Royal Guard entered.....

"OK who are you and why are you....." the royal guard asked when i notice their jaws dropped. I wonder why are they standing there? Doom came and told me to look at the mirror. I went out and found the mirror when i looked at myself and gave me a shock, I turned into a..... female jester. I was wearing white makeup, blue and black hat, blue and black dress which has diamonds in it even my shoes. I knew i succeeded my transformation spell as i turned to the Royal Guards who seems to be dazzeled by my looks not to mention disturbing. one of the Royal Guards asked, "Uh...I never seen you before, your different from the previous one So.....what's a joker girl like you doing here?" 

 I was kinda speechless, not knowing what i'm going to say. 2nd royal guard asked, "Are you here for the Joust games?" I couldn't said a word then Doom nudge me and told me to play along. I said with an innocent eyes, "I guess so....I sort of got lost. May i ask? do you know where i can find the Royal Joustum?"

The royal guards said sheepishly, " Why....of course it's around the corner and turned left."  I smiled at them as i slowly placed my hand on the guard's face. "Thank you...your so kind." As i gave them a flying kiss which cause them to feel lovestruck. I left the hallway and heading to the Joust game. Doom ran up to me and climbed onto my shoulder who seems to be amused. I glared at doom, "Haha....very funny i maybe a joke girl doesn't mean i'm still hex girl. as soon as we find the green knight, the better we leave." 

In the Joustum

We finally arrive at joustum, it took us time find it. Then we saw  a lot of people watching the games, it was my first time  to come here. We searched for the green knight, when the anouncer shouted, "I'm Herb Herbertson live from the news invitational joust games." WE stay hidden for awhile and watched the games. "And I'm Alice Squires bringing you the finest archer, hoverboarders and guys...who do cool stuff." We watched  the royal guards doing some kind of entertainment with somekind of mechanic horse. the royal guards went passed through many obstacles; pillars, ramp and shoot targets. "ah i see they  have to do a perfect 10 run in under a minute to win." I said softly. The royal guards got the perfect 10, huh impressive i can do that with my guitar. Herb announced, "Next stop, two-time champion; Aaron Fox." My eye's widened that it's the green knight that we were looking for, apparently he has no helmet. Doom nudge me and i said, "Yeah that's the green knight so his name is Aaron Fox, that's a wicked name. Let's see what he can do."

We watched this  Aaron guy as he passed through the obstacles, I hate to admit he is extremely good as good as me. I never knew he has in him, he was a good sharpshooter and a great agility skills. In the end he got a perfect 11 and i was amazed that he won."Wow he's totally wicked awesome." I said excitedly. Doom shook her head as she pushed me away from aaron's game. I forgot i was about  to return this to him, we sneak back to place his helmet back to him. whne we're about to leave, unfortunately for Doom she saw a mice as she chased it into the hover mechasteed. "Doom get out of there!" I hissed. I climbed on the mechasteed when doom accidently pressed the button which activate the mecha steed as we zoomed out of the Joustum; In front of evryone.

Aaron's POV

I reclaimed my  trophy that i always won in this game. I was about to leave when a mechasteed came out of the arena. It looks like a girl but she seem to have a problem. I watch as she passed through the obstacles. when the rising pillar raised up, she seemed to be holding on. When there's a pole sticks where you have to jump over it, i knew she might be in trouble when i saw something unexpected. Instead of doging it, she just did a tuck jump flip then did a twirled jump to avoid from hitting. As she was able to stop the mechasteed, everyone watched as she got out of the vehicles which reveale to be....a jester.

Minx's POV

I manage to stop the mech, i felt kind dizzy from all that ride thx to doom's incompetent. I got out when i was shocked where i'm standing; In the center of joustum. I knew we were busted that we appeared before them. Everyone stared at me with therir confused look, they never seen her before. as Herb announced, "What's this? it would seem we have another entertainment....and it's a jester girl?" "We never seen a jester girl before ever since the jester show." Alice said. The king and the queen was confused as well, he stood up and said, "It's strange....we never had a jester girl before. well, if this part of the event then try to entertain us young jester."

I felt kinda nervous that if anyone finds out who i am. I mean i'm a jester who supposed to make everyone laugh but the problem is....i don't even know how to make them. Their haveing a supicious at me, even aaron as well who was standing. I don't know what to when doom pulled the sceptre under the mecha steed. I whispered to her, " I can't do magic, everyone might know i'm a hex girl." Doom shook her head as nudge on the sceptre. I don't what she meant then it hit me, i think i understand what she meant. "You want me to entertain by singing to them. Are you crazy? they might see my magic." I said but doom gave me serious look. I sighed beside if they find out who i am, i'm so in trrouble. So i morphed my sceptre into a guitar without seeing it. Everyone wondered why she was holding a guitar. "Look at that, a jester girl holding a guitar. I hope this should entertaining than the previous." Herb said. I turned to see Aaron was watching me as i stand on the rising plate. 'Ok doom here goes nothing. I better try to keep my powers under control.' I took a deep breathe and shouted, "Hello kingdom of Knighton. this jester is going to rock your world." As I strung my guitar filled with melodious music. 

Plug in the mic, open the curtain

Turn on the lights, I'm through rehearsing

The feeling ignites, I'm in control

The crowds in the palm of my hands

All my fans stand, what is the truth?

What's an illusion?

You're searching for proof

But are you certain?

Whatever you see is what you get

If words paint a picture then

I betcha I can getcha yet


I'll make you believe in me

I can be what you want me to be

Tonight is the night

Where I make you see

That I can be anything

Anything, anything

Everyone was astound by my performance, even thye knights and Aaron too who looks astound as well to see a jester girl entertain anyone before. 

I'll make you believe in me

I can be what you want me to be

Tonight is the night

Where I make you see

That I can be anything

Anything, anything

  While i was playing, I notice my body was glowing and i knew its about to release to cause haywire. I wanted to stop when aaron came in his hovershield and he was playing with his crossbow almost like a guitar. He shouted, "Woohoo C'mon jester show me that beat i can totally jammed it." he started playing, I stared at him and i hate to admit i didn't know he likes rock music. So |I continued trying to keep up his tune.

I've got nothing to lose, I've been exposed

I'm paying my dues, playing the role

I'm breaking the rules, flowing the flow

I've got the whole world nodding "yes"

Like some bobble heads

I'll break a sweat, if you wanna

Confess all your sins, you know you got 'em

The rooms in a spin, the fever's pitched

I swear there's no doubt I'm legit

I'm no counterfeit

I saw my body is about to release but this time it didn't went haywire. it just created special effects even fireworks. Everyone was surprised when they saw a figment of stars passing them. one of them touched the glimmer lights and it exploded into billions of shards. I never knew i was able to make it a background entertainment. I turned to Aaron as i played in front of him matching his tune. when our music became sync, i feel like i was having fun.

I'll make you believe in me

I can be what you want me to be

Tonight is the night

Where I make you see

That I can be anything

Anything, anything

I'll make you believe in me

I can be what you want me to be

Tonight is the night

Where I make you see

That I can be anything

Anything, anything

You want from me

As i ended my song with a big bang, My powers became calm. it was silence then it became a roar of cheers and applause. I was proud that i made everyone happy instead of making them laugh. Alice said, "that was super amazing. I've seen jesters make jokes but i never seen a jester that could rock everyone's world." Herb said, "Yes alice she was amazing. I never heard such a magnificent song." The raising plate lowered down as i get off. Aaron came with excitment, "Dude that was totally awesome. Where do you learn to that?" I blushed with embarassement    when i notice Doom patted on my legs. I looked down at my self and realize my disguise spell were about to wear off due to the power boost. I was about to leave when i dropped the bag, i want to go back but since aaron was there as i left the scene along with Doom.

Aaron' POV

I was amazed by her performance as i notice she was leaving in a hurry. She dropped her bag as i grabbed and said, "Wait you forgot....*as i took out the green helmet* my helmet?" I turned to see she looked back at me then left. I said to myself, "i thought i lost it, why did she has it?....Could she be....?" I said to myself when the knights came to me. Macy asked, "who was that girl?"  

"I have no idea, i didn't asked her."

Back inside the castle

Inside the throneroom, the king and the queen called us in important issue. the king asked, "Does anyone know who she is?" We didn't said a word as he sighed, "She was a great jester, I wanted to know who she is and wondered if she ever get to entertained the Joustum."  the queen assured, "Don't worry, i'm pretty sure you might see her again. Knights, listen i want to know who is this jester. If you seen her, tell her if she would come and entertained us at the Annual Party tomorrow night. We would luv to hear her song again."  

We understood as we left the throne room. Lance wondered, "I wonder if we ever find out who the mysterious jester."  Clay said, "We don't know but we might find her again." As i was losing pace, I stopped and said to myself, " that jester girl...could she be the hex girl i met in the Spooky Hollow. If she is, i'll have to know if i ever encounter her again.

Minx 'ss POv

As i was running through the hallways, i notice my clothes were about revert back. I hastily enter the library i found, my spells were off and i'm back in being the hex girl. We sighed in relief that we were able to hide, if we did then they will surprise. I turned to Doom  and smiled, "y'know i thought we were busted but this.....I never entertained in front of everyone. It's my first time anyone has listen to my song but i wonder if they get their hands on hte real me." Doom comforted me as i got up and head to the balcony. I looked up in the sky and said, "I got chance to know his name; Aaron Fox. He's cool and impressive the way he glide through his wildside. this the happiest day i ever enjoy." We left the kingdom as we fly straight to the Spooky Hollow, wait till i tell Eden about my day as i smiled happily.

I don't know when, i don't know how

but i know something starting right now

watch and you'll see

someday i'll be

part of this world
