I was shoved into lockers for the thousandth time. I was the nerd of nerds, I was nothing. I let out a sigh and headed home, where I meet my stepbrother who shoved me around more. Not that I like it but I'm the male version of Cinderella. "Colbix do this Colbix do that" I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag heading out to the forest the only place I can get peace and quiet. I walked to my favorite spot. It's a little waterfall but today something was different.
I crawled through a little hole in the side of the rock. I came out dirty and sure to be bruised soon. I came out in the most beautiful forest and on the horizon I saw a castle elegant as can be. I looked back at the hole this world had to be better than that. I went on search of the castle. The forest was a wonderfully scary place but I soon made friends.
By the time I reached the castle I had lost my shirt and was furious with how these people had treated the creatures of the forest. I had promised to help them restore their world. The castle had sent out an army I saw the princess standing on the wall her dark hair flying in the wind. They could only see me and they were laughing at me. Let them laugh they have no idea the power the forest holds and that I have harnessed it. I step out of the shadows and roar like the beasts of the forest taught me. Then out of the forest emerged many of my army a scrappy bunch of many different species. From the littlest pixies to the largest of giants. And I was in control their loyalties lied with me and mine with them. We charged them the royal army charged back.
The battle was a blood bath. Every forest creature loss took a toll on me. We came out victorious though and stormed the castle that had no defenses now. When we entered the throne room the king drew his sword he was shaking in fear of me. I drew my sword and stood to face him. I had minimal strength yet I could barley lift the sword in my hand. He saw this and his quaking fear stoped, he then smirked. He thought I would go down easy. He charged me with every bit of pure raw strength he had. He thought wrong though, I would fight for these creatures until my last breath. I raised my sword and swung at the king I herd swords clash we were in those iconic seems you see in movies blades pushing against each other. I looked into his eyes seeing the raging malice he had. I couldn't let my new friends be ruled by this man any longer. That's when a the princess I saw on the wall runs into the room,
"Father!" She yells he got distracted I pulled my sword down and ran it through his chest straight through his heart. "No!" The princess screamed when he fell. "What have you done" she yelled cradling her father "your nothing but a villain, killing your own kind" she spat at me.
"No" I said harshly and took her by the arm and pulled her to the window. "I am the true king of all species" I said pointing out the window she wouldn't look. I turned her head out the window and she couldn't tear her eyes away after. Watching all the creatures from the forest which include humans celebrating.
"We have the great privilege of announcing our new king" I walked on to the stage "King Colbix!" I kneeled as the elder placed a golden crown on my head of dark unruly locks. I lifted my head my dark green eyes scanned over the crowd. My eyes locked with the icy blue ones of the former princess her eyes held so much sadness and fear of what I would now do with her because currently she was with all the other royals that had survived in the back row with cuffs on. Now being led out of the room. I held my head up tall I wasn't ashamed of what I did. But, I do know how she feels to loss a parent.
Later, that week I went to the prison and sat in front of the princesses cell " Do you know why I did what I did?" I asked her my back turned to her
"Yes" she replied her voice cracking. I sighed and turned to face those icy eyes that have been haunting my dreams. "I know how you feel losing a parent in front of your eyes but I could let my people live how your father was treating them" I explained. Those eyes of her flared a new emotion "you don't under stand" she said standing " 'your people'" she added with venom in her voice. "Killed my mother" she slammed her hands on the bars rattling the whole prison " and now they have taken my father too." She screamed. I raised my head rage flowing through me. "They did not take your father away from you," I said I looked in those eye and will always Romberg the fear that took them over "I did". I spun on my heel with her screams and calls for me about how I should have never came and I should return to my world. What she doesn't know is that I've tried and that I can't return. I'm nothing but a nerd there, I'm a king here and they need me.
