Prologue

"Um, Jilaya,remind me again - why are we doing this milady?"

" How many times do I have to remind you Morfran! We are hiding it here so that girl  doesn't find it! We have discussed this many times, after the girl is sent after it on her quest, I will destroy my brother, take the throne that is rightfully mine,  and make all citizens of Deseri mine. The girl is a clueless fool, and has no idea that she is, lets say 'the one' " she said in a silky voice

"But Milady, excuse my ignorance, but how are we to accomplish all that?"

"ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? WE'RE GOING TO USE THE GIRL YOU IDIOT!"

Morfran quickly bowed and hurriedly followed her into the forest ahead. She was a tall lady, with long, silvery blonde hair that reached her waist. She wore an all black bodysuit, with a dark maroon cloak . Morfran, on the other hand, was more short and stubby. He was more rotund, had dark eyes, and dark hair. Morfran wasn't exactly the help that Jilaya had requested, but he was decent with a sword and a very enthusiastic, so She had learned to accept Morfran's annoying personality

"MILADY? MILADY WAIT UP,"Morfran yelled to Jilaya as she walked further and further away. There was a rustle in the bushes behind her, and she stopped so abruptly leading Morfran to walk strait into her.

"Uh, Milady, why did you stop like tha-"

"SHUT UP YOU FOOL!" She whisper yelled, "I think we are being followed, so whatever you do, don't turn around

They kept walking slowly through the dark forest when suddenly Jilaya disappeared behind a large tree. Morfran looked around and all he saw was dark forest for miles and miles. He looked around once more just to be sure that his master had really disapeard, then as loud as he could, he shouted,

"MILADY? MILAAADY? MILADY MA'M, WHERE DID YOU GO?? MILADY? MILADY! JILAYA?"

Less than a minute after he yelled, something went whizzing past his ear into the tree behind him with a loud thunk. Morfran slowly turned around to face the tree to see an arrow, lodged in between the tree's bark. Horrified, he turned back around and was face to face with a guard from the palace.

"Halt! You are under arrest for being in these forbidden woods. You will come with me to await trial at the castle." The guard spoke as if he had rehearsed these lines many times before.

"Uh, I- um, I-a, um, I'm truly sorry I can't come with you," Morfran stammered.

" Excuse me?" The guard raised an eyebrow. "That's not how it works you know."

"Truly sorry" Morfran repeated.

The guard grabbed Morfrans arm and right as they were about to walk away a dagger flew out of nowhere and pierced the guards ear. The guard let go of Morfrin and fell onto one knee. Blood gushed from the spot the dagger hit and the guard started to scream as he saw a chunk of his left ear on the ground. The guard started to sob as he reached for Morfrins arm. Morfran jumped backwards but he was snatched mid-air by a dark shadow, swinging from tree to tree.  

"MORFRAN? DID YOU REMEMBER THE PLAN AT ALL? If I have to save your neck one more time I swear...."
