"How big is your kingdom" asked Diane.
"Well.... You'll see" I said.
Diane and I met when I was on my way to Sayuri's mountain. It was a pretty fun meet up.

"This damn city is trash" I thought.
It's a dump. So many thugs and bandits came through here and stole things from people. But it's known to have the best alcohol and food. So it's a win for me.
I walk into the bar and sit down at the counter. It was trashed. The whole inside of this place was covered in shattered glass and broken chairs.
"What can I get you" asked the bar keeper.
"The best you have" I said.
"Alcohol too? "
"Why not" I said.
He went to the kitchen and cooked my food. The wine here was alright. The food better be good though.
"Your in my spot" said a deep voice.
I turn around to see a very tall and muscular man.
"There's other places you can sit" I say turning around drinking my wine.
"Get up or I'll force you" he said.
"Fight me and you'll be in a medical bed for a long time" I said in a harsh voice.
I felt a hand on my shirt collar. Before I could get to his hand he picked Me up.
"I told you to move" he said.
"Your fault" I said and jumped off the chair.
He let go of me when I was over his head. This idiot didn't pick me up correctly. If he had moved me a inch or two I wouldn't be able to touch anything.
I landed on the floor and jumped in the air again, only this time I kick him in the gut.
I sat back down and started eating. Only being stopped by a woman my age.
"My names Diane. "

When Diane and I walked up the mountain there was something guarding it. It was a boy named Michael. He created a barrier around the shrine. He took a glance at me and let me in right away.
Michael is my familiar.
"How much longer until we get to Catelena" Michael asked.
"Just a little longer" I said.
"I think I see it" said Diane standing on her toes.
"That's possible. It's kinda big" I said laughing.
"Let's keep walking the faster we get there the faster we can explore it" said Michael walking a bit faster.
"I don't know about you but I want to get there" I said taking off.
"Cheater" they both yelled.
We ran at least a mile before we got to the kingdom. Once we entered the place a lot of people stared at us like we were crazy.
"Come on I'll show you around" I said.
"Ok" they said in return.
We walked a bit further into the kingdom. A lot of people recognized me and some where kinda confused.
"Abby!"
I turned towards the voice that was calling me. It was Travis and Tadashi
"Hey. It's been awhile" I said hugging them.
"It sure has been" said Travis.
"So I see you guys work here now" I said smiling.
"Yeah. We wanted to see you on your arrival day so we came here" said Tadashi.
"I'm looking forward to working with you" I said.
"Same here. Do you want us to point you in the direction of anyone" asked Travis.
"No. I got it. And by the way, this is Diane and Michael" I said pointing behind.
"Nice to meet you both" greeted Travis.
"Hello" said Diane.
I turn around to see Michael examining the men. He doesn't do good with other people. He isn't really good with people.
"Let's have dinner at the bar later" I said. "It will be fun."
"Ok see you there" they said and hugged me again.
"Ok so what do you want to see next" I asked turning around.
"Can we go into the castle" asked Diane.
"No" said Michael loudly.
"Yeah it's alright" I said looking at Michael.
"Abby are you sure" he asked looking at me worriedly.
"Yeah. Let's go" I said.
As we were walking into the castle my legs started to shake. It reminds me of that horrible day.
"This place is huge" said Diane.
"Yeah. It got redecorated since I was gone" I said looking at the ground.
"Let's get out of here" said Michael.
"That's probably a good idea" I said and turned around.
I look up and started walking but a door opened in front of me and Laurence came walking out of the room.
"Abby" he said excited and higher me.
"Hi" I said.
"Don't you ever leave again" he said.
"I don't think you even thought about me while I was gone" I thought.
"So did you find your power" he asked.
"Yeah. It was quite the experience" I said.
"And who is this" he asked looking behind me.
"This is Diane and this is Michael. Diane, Michael this is Laurence" I said.
"Nice to meet you" said Diane.
Michael walked up to me and grabbed my hand. He started tugging me away.
"So what's going on around here" I asked tugging at Michael.
"New guards and a lot of guards in training. We need a new instructor" he said.
"I'll do it" I said.
"Really" asked Diane.
"Yeah. It will be interesting" I said.
"I'll help to" said Michelle walking beside me still holding my hand.
"Sure if you want" said Laurence obviously getting bothered by it.
"So what's on the agenda for today" I asked.
"Meetings" he muttered.
"What kind of meetings" I asked.
"Marriage" he said.
"Oh...."
I look at the floor. He is already looking for a mate. He already.....
"I just remember that I have to meet up with Katelyn. I'll talk to you later" I said and jogged out of the castle doors with Michael still holding my hand.
^^^^^^^^^^
Michael and I both jogged to the cherry blossom tree. And when we got there we sat on a rock and chatted for a bit.
"Are you sure your going to be alright" asked Michael.
"I really don't know. He didn't even tell me..... "
"Abby" yelled a familiar voice.
I turned around and saw Laurence running after me.
"What" I said.
"What was that all about" he asked.
"I don't know" I lied.
"Are you bothered about the marriage thing" he asked.
"I don't know" I said.
"What is it then?"
"Maybe it the fact that you might love someone else. Maybe the fact that you did something that you thought was going to be a one time thing" I yelled.
"Abby... "
"No I'm sick of this" I said and ran down the trail.
I ran until I couldn't anymore. It's painful every time I look at him. I look up from these ground and saw that I ended up standing on a bridge.
The light from the moon reflected off the water, setting the perfect background. It was really quiet. The only thing I can hear are my heavy breathes from running
