that she is your mom.” said one of the reptilian guards.
Katalia sighed and shook her head with disgust. “Another one who thinks that they are related, or friends with me? When will they stop?”
James shook his head, and tried to speak, but couldn’t get his words past the piece of cloth over his mouth.
“Why are they here?” asked Kat.
“They came to “rescue” you.” said the Draco.
“From what?” Kat demanded.
“They think that you belong to them.” said Draco.
Katalia laughed, “Yeah, well, if I did, I don’t any more. I am going to belong to Drake and Darius in just a few hours!”
“I don’t mean to correct you, but actually it’s in a half hour. You need to go get ready your highness. We’ll take care of these prisoners.”

Aralina’s plant walls were burnt to a crisp. First, there had been just a bad smell emitting from the wall. Then, smoke started to come out, so she ran away, as to not get choked. Then, the outer layer of plants burst into flames, and all of the plants were now on the ground, burning into nothing. Then Darius stepped out of the hallway and into the arena. She turned to run, but was stopped by a wall of fire, that had appeared behind her. She ran to her left, but another wall appeared. She tried running to the right, flying upwards, and even running toward Darius, but was stopped by a wall of fire each time. Aralina found herself in a cage of fire. It was about five feet wide, and ten feet high. When fire sprouted from the floor, she decided to fly in place, in the middle of the cage. All she could do, was helplessly watch, as her friends got overcome by Darius and Drake.
Kaliea was running after Drake, who was running toward Collin, who was throwing rocks at the oncoming Drake. Kaliea was stopped suddenly, when magic hit her from behind. She couldn’t move anything. Not even her eyes.
Simolia had finally been able to freeze the monster. She had lured him over to a wall of ice, and he had been so thirsty, that he had tried to lick it. When he did, the monster’s large, slimy, black tongue had gotten stuck on the ice, and he couldn’t move. When Simolia had secured him to the ice, she smiled, and said,
“Ha ha. I got you.”
Then, she fell to the ground, and fainted from exhaustion.
Collin was the last one left. He was stuck on the ground, throwing rocks at Darius and Drake as they came near. And Aralina knew that he wouldn’t last long. He was hurt, and like all fairies, he was light-weight. Drake walked over, and easily slung him over his back. The prince let out a yell of pain. Collin’s wings were bent at uncomfortable angles, and Aralina knew that his right foot shouldn’t be pointing in that direction. His left wing sagged. When he lifted his head to look at Darius, Aralina saw a long gash spreading from his left ear, down to his chin. He glared at Darius, and tried to throw a rock at him, but Darius shot magic at him, and he became limp.
Darius transported Kaliea over to Aralina’s cage, and into it. Fortunately, Aralina’s friend was not burnt to a crisp, like her plants. Simolia was suspended in midair, and Darius walked into the palace, holding one of his hands up, pointing at the cage with his first finger, and at Simolia with his thumb. Both the cage, and Simolia were transported in midair, next to Darius.
They were taken that way into the throne room, where a terrible sight met their eyes. Megdelia was lying motionless on the floor. Prince James, King Minas, Queen Alexandria, a bunch of guards, Methuen, and Hosily, were each gagged, and held by their own, personal guard. Katalia, and a dragon were talking in a corner.
James eyes widened when he saw the girls and Collin. The king hung his head, and the queen made a desperate noise. Darius laughed, and waved his hand. Simolia fell back onto the floor, and the fire cage lowered onto the floor. Drake passed Collin to a reptilian guard, who put a gag on his mouth, even though he was unconscious, and held him. Simolia got the same treatment. And, when the cage of fire disappeared, two of the reptilian guards ran up, and grabbed Aralina and Kaliea, gagging them, and holding them prisoner too.
Katalia smiled when she saw Drake, and walked over to him.
“You weren’t hurt, were you?” she asked in concern. Simolia made an angry sound, and Katalia turned to her.
“Be quiet, you.” she said, and turned back to Drake, who said, “No.”
“You had better get ready, since the wedding is in ten minutes.” said Darius.
“I was just telling her that.” said Draco.
Kat rolled her eyes. “I didn’t know if we could trust him, since he came with these people. He might be feeling a bit soft, and he might have let them go.”
“Good thinking.” said Darius. “I will take it from here. You get ready. Drake, you should too. Draco, I know that Kat doesn’t trust you, but I do. Take the adolescents to the room. The magician can go with them. The king can go to the room that is specially prepared for royalty. The guards can be put in the changer room. They will be turned to my guards after the wedding. The queen...hm...her royal highness can stay in here.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After they were deposited into the room.
Most of them were unconscious. Except for James, Aralina, Kaliea, Hosily, and Methuen.
“I’m James and you must be the elf I met on the ‘ear’ Hosily.”
Hosily nodded and shook the princes out held hand.
Then curtsied, “It is a honour to meet you.”
James nodded, “The same,” He then leaned in further and took out his ‘ear’, “Any one who can take care of Methuen and live is amazing!”
“I heard that!” Methuen called out.
James held in a laugh.
“Now how are we going to get out?”
“You are thinking of that with over half of us on the floor and various other places, exhausted and knocked out!” Aralina exclaimed.
Collin groaned then sat upright, he patted his body, “I’m.. all right!” he exclaimed in shock.
Soon the others woke up as well, “What happened?” Megdelia asked as she woke up staring into fabric.
She then turned over and smiled, “Uh, hello.”
The group looked to Methuen who was sitting on the floor cross legged ,his eyes then opened wide and he smiled, “It’s a healing potion. It works for six hour then they go back into pain and unconsciousness.”
“Oh, great that’s the last thing I want!” Megdelia groaned and fell back down into the bed that she was lying on.
Methuen shrugged as the others groaned as well, “Sorry, that’s the best I can do.”
There was a knock on the door. Then it fell forward and Nathentex fell in with it.
“Hi, guys. Thanks for hiding me!”
The group nodded then ran out of the room, and almost fell onto the unconscious guards laying in-front of the doorway.
They picked their way through carefully then took flight. carrying those who couldn’t to the throne room. They had a marriage to stop! And soon!


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When they ran into the throne room, they were just in time. Drake and Katalia were at the thrones, and for some reason, Draco was marrying them. He was just getting to the part with “In sickness and in health till death do you part?”
“No! Stop!” yelled Megdelia.
Everyone turned in surprise. Jolent was still in the cage that was hanging from the ceiling. The queen was sitting in a chair, with obviously a holding spell on her, because she was staying quite still, and with her mouth closed, which she wouldn’t be doing on a normal occasion.
Drake was dressed in a black tunic, with a big black jewel on his belt. His fiery red hair was still stuck up in spikes, however.
Darius was dressed in his usual black cloak, and his hair looked like he had put extra grease in it for the special occasion.
Kat was wearing a long red dress. The skirt started a bit strait, but it billowed out. At the bottom of the dress, there was what looked like black cloth, but when she turned, some of the cloth came out, and the girls realized that it was shadows. How shadows were put into a dress, Megdelia was not sure, but she could tell that that was what it was. The dress that Kat was wearing had long straps, and she was wearing black gloves. The neckline was shaped in a curly “V”, and she was wearing a black necklace. Kat and Drake were both wearing black crowns, with red jewels in the front.
“You can’t get married. Kat, you’re supposed to marry Collin!” exclaimed Simolia.
“How did you get out?” Drake demanded.
Nathentex stepped out from behind Megdelia.
“I think that you forgot someone when you locked everyone up.” said the elf.
Drake muttered something incoherent.
“Darius, take your spell off of Kat.” said James.
“What makes you think that I have a spell on my almost daughter in-law? And even if I did, do you really think that I would?” asked Darius.
“We know you put one on her, and if you don’t take it off, we will make you take it off.” replied Kaliea.
“You hear that, Katalia and Drake?” said Darius with a sneer, “They are threatening me. Do your duty, and protect your master.”
“Yes, my-lord,” said Kat and Drake, and they stepped in front of Darius with their arms raised.
“Tell us when you want us to shoot.” said Drake.
Darius smiled wickedly. “Fire at will, and don’t be afraid to kill them.”
The room was suddenly ablaze with light, as Kat and Drake shot magic at the kids, the queen, and the cage with Jolent.
“James!” yelled Megdelia. “Your mother!”
The queen couldn’t move, and she was directly in the line of fire. James rushed forward, and grabbed the chair that his mother was sitting in, and pulled it behind a pillar. Aralina, Megdelia, and Kaliea were taking down the cage with Jolent in it, and Simolia, Nathentex, Collin, and Methuen were dodging the spells that Kat and Drake were shooting at them.
Darius was sitting in his throne, perfectly at ease with what was going on. Draco was gone. He had probably escaped out one of the doors.
James called all the other kids behind the pillar with his mother. When they came, the magic stopped, and they heard Kat and Drake coming to find them.
“How do we stop them?” asked Simolia.
“Well, Darius is their master. He has them underneath his spell, so whatever he tells them to do, they will do it.
