Chapter Three Mytron When my eyes fluttered open the next morning he thoguht his adventures in Exeter where a dream. That was of course before I noticed the silk that cascaded over the sides of the four poster bed. I pulled the soft curtains back and saw Alora standing there. She had tears in her golden eyes. "Somebody kidnapped Raibith." "They did?" I asked. "Yes," she said with a wavering voice. She was terrified, but it seemed that she was trying to keep a royal stance. "Are you going to be okay?" "No,"she whimpered. I put my arm around her and she leaned against me. I looked down at her. She just stood there against me. I was about to lean down and give her a quick peck on the cheek when she pulled away and started to pace. "What are we going to do, what are we going to do?!" "Um, Alora, I mean Queen Alora, or is it your majesty, why don't you calm down and get some sleep for a while and then act." "Just call me Alora, that's what I was called for fourteen years, no queen, or your highness, or no your greatness, truthfully I prefer to being called just Alora." "Well then Alora, why don't you lay down and get some sleep." "I know it would help, it's just that I'm too nervous to sleep." "Raibith isn't stupid, he can take care off himself." "I know, I just feel responsible." "Alora, really stop worring, it's just going to hurt you more." "I know okay! I can't help but worry!" "I'm sorry, you came here for my help and support didn't you? Well I'm trying to and if you don't want me around then I'll go off in the woods and try to get home. At least I don't have a dysfunctional family like yours!" "I'm sorry, please don't go I need you." "Why do you need me? So you can have one more soldier to die for your stupid civil war?!" "No that's not it. I'm ashamed to say this, but I've become rather fond of you in the past day." "Meaning what!" "I, I think I love you." "That's what you think, but it may not be reality!" "Fine then I love you! Does that please you?! If not than go back to your own disgusting planet!" "Look, I need to know what your priorities are." "My priority is getting my brother back, then it's defeating Lord Alcaster, then it would be to persue something romantically with you!" "Okay well can you think of who took Raibith." "Probably Lord Alcater." "Do you know where this Lord Alcaster would be." "Probably in the desert oasis." "Well can we storm it." "Not with out getting in and it's impossible to get in without being one of them." "Well what if the two of us sneak in this oasis and overthrow Alcaster and then open the gates for the army to come in." "I guess that would work."Alora said as she wiped tears from her face. "Good, know how do we get to the desert oasis." "Mytron, the oasis, is in the Gebbi desert. The desert is approximently 20 miles from where we are, from the we travel 40 miles in the blistering heat before we get to Mytron. The going isn't bad till we get about half way there. that's when the water system stops and we go without fresh water till we get to Mytron. "Well why don't we leave a day before the army. We'll set of a canon when it's okay for them to storm Mytron." "Um, okay, well we better prepare for the trip." "Good, you do that, I'm going to catch some z's." "What?" "I'm going to take a nap." "Oh. Well sleep well." "I will" I crawled back into the large bed and closed the silk curtains and collapsed onto the soft pillows.
