Chapter III: The Princes.

"Brother! Brother wake up!", Deceit was awakened by his younger brother, Remus, "I'm awake. . .Have we arrived at the kingdom?", Remus nods, "Yes!", they both got changed into their robes and they went up on the deck of the boat. . . The kingdom was amazing, Remus was leaning over the edge and Deceit had to make sure that he didn't fall off. Their parents come up and saw his excitement, "I see someone is looking forward to this!", they heard father chuckle as their boat had docked, "Remember kids, behave. . .Prince Thomas is going through some hard times, so please do anything you can to help him.", we nod as they got the plank, "Of course Father!", Remus's excitement turned into fear as he became aware of the crowd, Deceit took his hand and they both walked together and waved politely. . .

Mother and Father showed so much sympathy towards Thomas's Father, Deceit and Remus soon saw Prince Thomas coming down with Virgil wearing his guard's uniform, "Ah. Thomas.", Prince Thomas came over with Virgil, "These young men are the Princes of their kingdom, Prince Deceit and his younger brother Prince Remus.", Deceit and Remus both bowed politely before them, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you.", Prince Thomas bows as well, "It's a pleasure you meet you both.", Virgil stepped forward, "I shall take it from here, your Majesty.", "Thank you, Virgil. You are dismissed.", and with that Virgil lead Thomas, Deceit and Remus up the stairs. . .

Prince Thomas introduced Prince Deceit and Prince Remus to Logan, Roman, and Patton. Virgil, Deceit, and Logan seemed to be getting along and Patton was teaching Remus new topics while Roman was drifting in between the two groups. Soon we gathered in the Library and spoke about our lives. Deceit and Remus told us stories about their kingdom, "Woah. . .", Deceit seemed really happy that Remus interacting with others, "Actually, our father told us about this old story about an old witch.", Virgil raised his head and had a look of interest, "Oh?", Deceit leaned back in the chair and smiled, "Well, according to father, there use to a witch that could turn into a fierce Dragon and attacked anyone who dared to try to defeat her!", as everyone looked into the fire, they could see images appearing within the fire, "One day, she was conducting a spell that would make her the most powerful witch in the land. . .But, her spell had backfired and she had lost all her powers and could no longer perform her spells.", the atmosphere of the room seemed to have darkened as Deceit told this story, "But, everyone doesn't believe she died in the woods. . .She lived on and she would seek a way to regain her powers, but she hid her remaining power in the only thing she could contain it.", the fire's light started to grow, "And to this day, I believe that she's still out there. . .", suddenly Deceit jumped up out of his chair and, with the help his black cloak, managed to get a satisfying reaction from them, "SEEKING REVENGE!!!!!", they all froze at a high pitch scream! They turned to Roman, who had fallen out of the chair in fear, Deceit ended up laugh along with the others. Roman pulled himself up and gave them a sarcastic smile, "Very funny. Hilarious, your Highness.", Thomas chuckled, "Aw. . .That was priceless!", Virgil was even laughing, "You better teach me your stories because if they scare Roman then I must know them!", Roman returned to his seat and fumed silently. The door opened and they all see The King and Deceit's and Remus's parents, "Is everything alright? We heard shouting.", Remus smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Deceit told us that story, and someone got scared.", The King smiled, "I'm glad that you're all getting along with one another.", Prince Thomas smiled sadly at his father, Logan rose, "Is there any duties you need to be done, Your Highness?", The King smiled softly, "Logan, please enjoy yourself, there are no duties for you to perform, so please relax.", Logan was hesitant but he bowed politely, "As you wish.", they closed the door as Thomas and Patton relit the candles as they had gone out. Patton smiled, "I think it's around the time we all get some sleep?", they all agreed to get some sleep. Logan lead Remus and Deceit to their chambers, Virgil and Roman left to go on their nightly patrol and Patton escorted Thomas to his chamber. . .

Roman stood outside his post and was silently counting the number of days until Thomas would be crowned king. . .Exactly two days, he quickly looked around. Virgil must have gone around the back, so he made my way to the wall...

Roman ran through the woods and soon found the women sitting on the forest flower holding a Boquete of Black roses, "Welcome back!", Roman bowed before the women. The women smiled at Roman gently, "I have your reward.", she set down her roses and pulled out a beautiful badge, "This is to show my generosity for your kindness.", Roman was bewildered that he could receive such a beautiful gif just by helping a young women, he took the badge and smiled sweetly at the women, "I shall wear it at the coronation in honor of you!", the lady picked up her roses and began to leave, "Thank you. . .", she soon disappeared into the darkness of the forest as Roman left back towards his post, hoping that no one had seen him leaving the castle walls. . .

Virgil sensed the dark presence around the castle, he just couldn't pin the exact location of this strange magic. . .He suddenly heard footsteps, I turned around only breath with relief that it was only Roman, only once his back turned again, his senses grew and it caused his head to slightly hurt, Virgil knew that this dark presence wasn't going to leave unless it was destroyed with. . . But Virgil knew the coronation was now getting closer, so he would have no choice but to hold on and hope that everything goes according to the plan. . .
