Weekly Fantasy: Storm The Castle

By: Sophia Los


(Please note I make all these stories up)


Hidden from the eyes of other in the depths of a massive forest you could see a young man roasting something over a fire that had no fuel and was floating, might seem shocking yeah? Well not in this world, the fire was made by magic and by the fact it wasn't wavering that meant it was made by some one with great control over his magic.

"Well that's the last one in this forest I guess I should take back whats mine now," He says after finishing his food. So he walked, and walked, and walked, till you could just see some light up ahead, and as he came out of the trees you could see the edge of a city. It almost seemed to have a gray haze over, it seemed to be caused by the sadness visibly present in the air. But despite what you might think of some one coming out of the forest he was very neat, his hair was cut and his blue eyes were bright, and he even had some really nice cloths on. But that actually made him stand out instead of blend in, everyone else had on rags for cloths. I looked around, it was worse than I thought, in the lower section of the city there wasn't even one intact house. The only intact ones you could see are the houses high above the rest, like nobles houses and the castle, but he walked right past as the people hid from him and cowered away. Wherever he walked everyone seemed to disappear, but he just walked on till he came to the castle he walked up to the gates and waited.

"Hey you! You aren't allowed here. This is private property of the king." A approaching guard confronted me.

"So? I'm his son." I just answered raising my brow at him.

"I'm sorry, but the king doesn't have a son," The guard looked at me confused.

"Of course he does, I'm the crown prince. My father isn't worthy of ruling so I'm taking what is mine." I looked at him with a smile a walked past him as he reached out to stop me only to fall to the ground, I had knocked him out. I smiled after knocking him out, time to take back the throne and make a better kingdom. Then as soon as I pushed open the doors that would take ten men to open I dashed forward with two clones splitting off so I could cover more ground. I dashed through the castle people dropping down asleep behind me I lost count of the people there were, I dashed through castle coming to a stop at the meeting room doors. Then I burst into the meeting room and interrupted what seemed like an important meeting. They all looked up and one of them ordered their guards to dispose of me, and before he could even finish making his order he fell over knocked out, they were all to be put in the dungeon.

Then they looked up surprised and the king ordered screaming, "IMPRISON HIM!"

I just smiled and said with sarcasm, "Hey dad! Didn't you miss me!" He paused shock on his face, then turned impassive and gestured for the guards to continue.

Then I smiled and raised my finger smiling, "This will only take a second!" When I finished everyone except for me and the king were knocked out. Leaving only me and the king, and then he slumped over like a puppet that had his strings cut, the crown clattering to the floor, I walk over and pick up the crown revealing a rare smile. "Time to fix this country." I turn to look out the window still smiling and raise my eyes to the sky, knowing that the nobles disposed of my father a long time ago and wishing for his happiness even though he caused great suffering.
