I raced down the alley and jumped over junk. I ran as fast as I could. I was being pursued. I sent fire behind me and they dodged the fire. I heard the cobbles of the street catch fire. I hurried out of the alley. I turned down onto a street. I went running as fast as I could go.

I kept going and shoved down a barrel and the guards pulled to a halt. I ran almost straight into a wall but gripped the stones. I climbed up it and they caught my leg and pulled me down.

Aria walked through the castle gardens. She watched the birds silently, her younger sister standing beside her. The birds flitted on and off the tree branches, chirping cheerfully and joining in each other in song.

I didn't bother trying to fight. I was dragged all the way to the castle. I growled and muttered curses. I made my arms heat up and they dropped me. I got up as quick as I could.

Aria's head snapped up as she heard the shouts and yells of the palace guards. Birds alighted and her sister looked up at her, confused. Her maid hurried out, calling them in. "Come, now!"

I was quick and dashed past them. I had to think of something. I opened the artifact and saw a teleport spell. I muttered the words and ended up in an abandoned room somewhere. The bed in the corner was in horrible shape and had ripped sheets. "Great!" I said. "Good going James!" I kicked the bed post.

The maids rushed the two princesses into the throne room. Their mother and father sat on their thrones, and three more were beside them. One was filled by the oldest sister and future queen, Atalanta.

(Atalanta)
(Alora- younger sister)
(Queen)
(King)

The knights reported to the throne room. "He got away with the artifact Sir." One of the knights reported. "He's tougher than we thought sir."

I shook my head trying to clear it. I looked out the window and saw the Castle in the distance. I took off my hood. There was a light breeze coming through the window.

"What?" King Romero roared. "You let him get away with it? Lock all the rooms! He couldn't have teleported far!" The Queen put an arm on his shoulder to calm him as Alora and Aria took their seats beside Atalanta. Servants rushed around.
