Queen Zelda, Lady Moon & Willow arrived together in the Queen's chamber.

"Willow, have a servant posted to make sure no one enters," Moon stated in a quiet voice. Willow nodded. When she returned from her task, Moon asked for the manuscript. Willow produced it and handed it to her friend.

"That's your missing manuscript! Wherever did you find it?" The Queen exclaimed.

"Before I answer, I have to tell you my story." Lady Moon drew a deep breath, and began her tale. "You know me as Lady Moon of Arconia. I know you found me wandering, half crazed, in the meadow that day a time ago...but before I came to Arconia, I was known as Princess Buffy of Schoolcraftia."
She paused to look at Willow. "And this is Lady Willow...not a sorceress at all, but my lady in waiting and close friend."

When the Queen did not respond, but with wide eyes, Moon continued. "It was arranged that I marry. A prince from a far off kingdom was chosen. Our marriage would unite the kingdoms, and provide a great commerce. But I did not wish to marry. I liked competing (ok, and jousting), and knew that if I married, my husband would wish that I stop. This prince...I never met him. I left the day we were to be wed, under the cover of the early morning fog." She took a deep breath. "This prince that I speak of, though I never met him I knew it would be him by a mark...the mark of the dagger..." Moon bowed her head.

"Oh my! That would mean..." Queen Zelda gasped. "But I don't understand. Why would it be our deaths?"

"The prince's father, furious that the marriage would not be, declared himself an enemy of Schoolcraftia. The promise had been broken. If he or his father finds out that I am here, war is sure to erupt...with Arconia in the middle. But that's not all..."

Moonitic · 06-15-2001, 10:53 AM

Lady Moon handed the manuscript to the queen. "This is an account of the whole horrible affair. We believe a spy took it, and Willow, to show Prince Angel's father. They want Arconia to fall. If any word of this gets out, disaster will surely follow."

"Willow, please tell Queen Zelda why they took you too..."

Moonitic · 06-15-2001, 12:22 PM

[Aside]

I'm starting to believe Mango has something to do with this, Queen Zelda. Space too...we should watch them...

I still need some squires and a herald.

arcon · 06-15-2001, 12:33 PM

Mango's record is not a clean one. She has been known to conspire. I hope she remains faithful to the Crown. All in Arconia must beware. These are uncertain times.
We know not what the evil s---- will do next.

This is how the note read that arcon had the servant slide under the door to Moon and the
others.

King Arcon.

many people don't know that i hide roalty in my blood. i am the prince of a nataion much like arconia. but i have a father who is not as peacefull as i am...

four years my kingdom was approached by one of our neighboring countrys. with a "deal" for peace. The Princess and i where to wed for the mutial peace of the two kingdoms. needless to say i thought that this propasation was disagreeible. for the princess and for myself. every friday my father led a fox hunt, and gave me no choice to if i wanted to come or not. so the Friday before the wedding i went on the hunt with my father, and tried to leave the hunting group.

I had to get rid of my horse and flee into the woods on foot. i was never missed until they got back to the castle, then my father led a search party out to find me.. he had no such luck in finding me. i made my way to the country that had offeried the marrige. under a false name i tried to find the princess to explane that i had no intrest to marry as of yet. she too had disapeared. so i took a job there att a salle learning about the art of fencing. after two years i sought to find the princess again. that is when i stumbled apon the kingdom of arconia. in the couple of years that i was there i looked for a picture of the missing princess and found one. after that i sought to find the princess again.
that is when i stumbled apon the kingdom of arconia.

from there the rest is history. until this day i have found people that look very much like the princess including your scribe The Lady Moon of the Pen. But none are the real princess that i seek..

Your Troubled Knight
Fencing Angel

P.S.
I would like to claim Poliltical Assylum (spelling) in the kingdom of arconia

Once again thank you King Arcon

i don't want to talk arconese anymore:
seek - thy - and hut. in the style of space:
After drawing a deep breath Moon exhaled, emitting a sort of gas from her stomach lining, it wasn't good, she had had porridge for breakfast and it was from yesterday. Well, not to tawk too much, But!: the Prince from the other kingdom, you know wid the mark of satan (you have to read the rest like ruth gordon), he took one look at moon and decided to move forward with the wedding plans, after all, the acquistion of another kingdom fit into his plans nicely. Well, along came an incubus, and father mackinnley from the other kingdom, who unbeknowst to him was about to join a demon and a witch in marriage. In light of all this, a female pixie from another tread picked up her pipe and piped over to the woods and saw them all standing around looking quaint and blew a small pellet through the pipe. It hit the Demon Prince right in the neck and he fainted. Moon was escorted to a tent, while Mango and several others brought the Demon Prince to Another tent and exercised with him, until all the evil was out. After he exercised doing a bunch of sprints, and footwork, a frog jumped outta his mouth and he was set free from all harm.

Zelda · 06-15-2001, 10:53 PM

Ok, now I am very confused. Moon running away from arranged marriage....Got it, Seeking refuge in Arconia... Got it, Angel the Prince she was supposed to marry... I think I got it.....everyone knowing about everyone else???? I DONT got it! I need time to think and digest this. Find me in my rooms in an hour or so with strong coffee and chocolate biscuts.

Swordsman · 06-16-2001, 05:56 AM

Whoa...dude...

arcon · 06-16-2001, 02:26 PM

Fencing Angel, feel free to remain in Arconia. Your tale reads like a Greek Tragedy
What can i do to ease the suffering of my troubled Knight? ......King Arcon

Do you wish a meeting with Moonitic?

I will do my best to arrange it. If you so desire.
Arcon of Arconia

My King and Queen, yes, although I am not a full sorceress, I was in training, so yes, I do have specials gifts which I use only for the good of the people. Moon and I have grown up together and been the best of friends, sisters, in fact. For that very reason, the Queen of Schoolcraftia charged me to travel with Moonitic and do whatever is within my powers to keep her safe. I pledged my life to do this. A week ago, I was on my way to a meeting with Moonitic, when I overheard two people talking. They were plotting to kidnap her. I tried to sneak up on them without them seeing me. Before I could discover who was plotting this evil, a sack was thrown over my head and the next thing I knew, I woke up in a hovel deep in the forests around Arconia. The two people who kidnapped me were there talking, but I was still rather out of it, so I am not sure what all they were saying. They had masks on, so I couldn't see their faces. I do remember that one of them had incredibly beady eyes and a snotty voice. Even though I couldn't see the face, there was something very familiar about this person. I am sure I know him or her. The other person, I am also sure that I know who he or she is, as well. I remember hearing someone speaking in poetry. I know I wasn't fully awake, but let me tell you, that poetry was VERY BAD. I remember my stomach churning just to hear it spoken. Also, person seemed to have a very strange obsession with gas. It was very puzzling, in my dazed state. I overheard them talking about Moonitic's manuscript and where they had it hidden in the hovel. They were going to take it to the King of the Eastern country of Muu to let him know where Moonitic was and who was shielding her from his revenge. When I came fully awake, I found that I was in the hovel all alone. My captors came to me three times, to bring me food and Fresca. I still smell the Fresca...and I believe I was being drugged with the Fresca. When I was able to ascertain this, I stopped drinking the Fresca, pouring it into the place where I was forced to relieve myself. After a day or so of not drinking the Fresca, I began to get my wits back and took stock of where I was and what I had to do to get away. I was tied to a cot, but thanks to my rapport with animals, I was able to ask some mice to gnaw away the ropes. I then retreived Moonitic's manuscript from the hiding place I had overheard of, and tried to find my way home. Thankfully, a very friendly dove helped me find my way home. But, I fear that our time of peace is coming to an end. The last time my captors came to bring me food, I was told that it won't be long now until Arconia comes under attack. The attack will happen in less than a fortnight.

Fencing Angel · 06-16-2001, 08:25 PM

Well King Arcon... i don't think so... i am afraid of what her friend willow might do. she had powerful magic.. Well will let sleeping dogs lie for the time being.

Zelda · 06-17-2001, 12:28 AM

Willow, can you please repeat that story slowly without gasping.... it was a tad hurried my dear. I may be able to heal and read minds but I still cant grasped garbled thoughts or harried auras as well as I might!!!
Now someone correct me if I am wrong.... Am I right in saying Angel is the prince Moon was going to be forced to marry? And that within the fortnight we will be underattack by a country called Muu? It sounds like a maths symbol.
Willow dear who was your teacher in scorery? They may be able to help us by taking you back to when you were in the hut. (no darling I am not going to start the time machine again.... its too risky.) I still am waiting for that coffee and chocolate biscuts someone!!! I dont think I will get my head around this until I get it! (the coffee and biscuts that is!)

Swordsman · 06-17-2001, 05:41 AM

Hmm...muu times pi divided by the cosine of theta equals...oh, hell. I'm done with trig, why am I worrying about it?

arcon · 06-17-2001, 07:16 AM

Knights, take your squires, ready your mounts,sharpen your weapons. Stand ready.
King Arcon

Moonitic · 06-17-2001, 07:37 AM

Yes, my Queen...based on that mark on his shoulder, I believe that Angel is the prince that I was supposed to marry (whether he knows it or not).

Perhaps I should ride too. If anything happened, & a spy tried to take me back, they would not recognize me in my "gear." Of course, they MAY recognize me then, too...

Willow · 06-17-2001, 05:36 PM

Yes, my queen, as Moonitic has said, he is the prince she was to marry. He is from Muu, which is a country to the East of Arconia. Unfortunately, the King of Muu is a wicked and evil man, prone to fighting and revenge. If his forces are on their way to Arconia, we must be prepared. And, yes, it appears that we have traitors in our midst. My memory of my kidnapping is fuzzy, thanks to the drugs I was given, but I do know that I know these people and I admit, I fear for my life. When I get my full memory back (and I WILL, you can rest assured on that), I will be able to identify at least two traitors here in Arconia. I will send for my teacher, the sorcerer I was in training under. Perhaps she will be able to assist both me and Arconia and find out who the evil ones are among us. I was studying under the Duchess of Sunnydale....she is an advisor to the King and Queen of Schoolcraftia. I will send a message to her by secret messanger, posthaste. I will not rest until we find out who our triators are. Why do I keep smelling fruit? This is really beginning to bug me.

Oh, man. The story turns into a soap opera...I may have to duck out soon.
