Snow princess!

SNOW PRINCESS!

Prologue what a magnificent creature I thought to myself as I stared at the Animal in the cage..

Chapter 1,

I sat in my room wondering what is taking so long why hasn't it happened yet why is it taking so long for them to pass on it hard enough for them to breath they were both so old it was cruel for the doctors to keep them alive they should be able to die in peace I thought to myself!” MR. Alex Flanders”, I heard a nurse call “please come now it has happened” she said soberly. “Finally!” I said under my breathe as I made my way to the room now I was lord over the whole Flanders estate!

Maybe now would be a good time to introduce myself I am Alex Flanders I have black hair up to my shoulders Brown almond eyes almost black, tanned and tall with a straight noise and strong face and body! My Parents were extremely wealthy one off the lords related to the king himself I was only child of Mr. And Mrs. Flanders I had lived a pretty good life then when I was 18 both parents died of old age and I inherited all the land and property!

This is where my story begins! After the funeral they were both berried in the estate I tended to some legal papers signing my name as the lawyer read my father’s will the whole estate plus the one in the country had been left to me to care for and I could do with it as I pleased so after reading the will I was so overwhelmed that I decided to go for a walk to clear my Mind! So I left the estate and started walking down the street toward the city zoo! At the entrance I saw a poster displaying a white tiger and said it was the first ever at the zoo! I personally loved white tigers so I decided to have a look at it they said it was very beautiful almost a feminine beauty! And it was a female so I went in and started toward the cat cages! As I got closer I saw it it was lying in front of the cage window and looked like it was asleep! What a magnificent Animal I thought to myself as I stared at the Animal in the cage, it opened its eyes and looked at me its eyes were blue and it’s stared at me with those large blue cat eyes as if to say please get me out of here! It seemed clear as a voice in my head clear voice sayings please get me out of here! I made up my mind I went to the front desk and asked the Lady if I could speak to the man in charge of the zoo! She called then said “he’s in that office and who is asking may I ask”? “Alex Flanders” I said! ”Oh my “she said “not the Alex Flanders the millionaires son”! “The very same !“I said. “Well Mr. Flanders go right in”! She said blushing “thank you”. I said and walked into the office! In the office there was a desk and sitting behind the desk was a man who looked like he could be in his 40s I went up to him and said “sir I would like to make a proposal”!He looked up and said “anything for you Mr. Flanders”!”Sir” I said “I would like to by your white tiger”!”Oh “he said” but you see Mr. Flanders I payed a lot of money for her and unless you can pay more I will have to decline your request” ! I could give you enough to by two tigers”! I said truthfully” you could said the man “then why don't you get one yourself instead of buying from me”? “Well” I said “there is something about that tiger that makes me want to get her I don't know what it is but she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen”! “She sure is something agreed the man and you say you could pay for two white tigers”? “ That I could I said “well then let’s see what we can do” said the man” wait until the zoo empties though”!”Thank you Mr.”? ”Oh just call me Ben”! He said “it is always a pleasure to work with You Mr. Flanders”. “Thank you sir”! I said and left the office the secretary was still a bit flushed! But I seemed to have that effect on all young women! I smiled to myself and went back to the tiger cage to watch her! She looked straight at me when I came close her blue eyes staring into my brown ones she never dropped her gaze on me! And I began to wonder if she understood what was going on and was trying to find a way to thank me I brushed that thought aside saying” I must be going crazy”! I sat there until darkness approached then Ben came with a few other workers and a wooden crate I wrote him a large check and told him to get it out any time then they put a sleeping dart in the tiger waited for a bite then loaded her into the crate I had called one of my large pickup trucks to come we loaded her on that and drove off toward home! Once home I put the tiger I my large garage where I had made a large cage out of thick metal poles cemented to the ground and put her in it she was just starting to regain conciseness when we finished putting her in the cage we then put a large turkey and a tube of water in the cage and left! That night I heard her prowling about in the cage growling every so often I knew they were active at night but it still bothered me !but I soon didn't hear it anymore and went to bed!

Chapter2

The next morning after a quick breakfast and checking my schedule I saw that I was free for this week so I went down to the garage and saw a frightened servant standing at the door holding a large lamb leg and staring with wide eyes at the tiger who had one paw out of the cage and was swinging it around and growling! I went over to the man took the meat from him and said she’s just hungry and I went up to the cage holding it out in front of me! She took it with one swift blow and pulled it into her cage a look of satisfaction on her face as she ate greedily! Then she lifted her head and looked at me again with those big blues eyes I really thought I was going crazy because I heard the voice again saying “thank you”! I just stood there dumb struck then I turned and left before too much madness over took me! The rest of the day I avoided the garage there was something about those eyes that made me go into a trance maybe that’s how I heard voices! I wasn't sure but I wasn't going to take chances so I stayed away for the rest of the day when night came I was more than eager to go to bed once I was n bed I soon drifted off to sleep! I awoke with something cold and sharp pressed against my neck I looked up to see a masked man with a knife at my neck I froze! He had entered the window I wondered who he was he motioned Me to get up I did the knife still at my neck He was going to kidnap me I just knew it there was a squeaking and banging and growling noise from down the stairs suddenly from the window jumped the tiger knocking the kidnapper to the floor and putting one white large paw on his chest bared her teeth and growled！ The man was truly terrified and shock with fright I watched in shock for a moment then run the bell calling for my two guards they came in and gasped at what they saw I said “put him in the small cell we have we can decide what to do with him later if he has not died of fright”! The guards hesitated then said “is she safe “?”She saved my life I think she is safe!” The gars walked up to her she moved back still growling and showing her teeth until he was out of the room! Once we were alone I sat on my bed and said “”wow! The man had cut my neck when he dropped the knife and it was a deep gash in my neck she came up to me and putting both paws on my lap put her head close to mine and touched my neck with her noise all the while purring at different speeds almost like a chant then she pulled back and licked my neck I felt the spot and the gash was gone completely healed! I looked at her and said “did you do that” ?She showed me her teeth and purred! “Well whatever you did you saved me from death and I thank you from the bottom of my heart”! She purred and put her large head on my lap I patted her and said “well I guess you should stay in my room tonight I am much safer with you”! She snorted and let out a deep roar almost like a laugh! Then I heard the voice again saying “you are indeed much safer with me”! I jumped up and said “OK no more of this I am going mad show yourself”! The Tiger walk in front of me and cocked her head to the side! ”No”! I said” you can’t talk “！“Yes I can”! She said “you are the one who thanked me for saving your life” talk about craziness! “and speaking to me as if I understand you”! “Yes but I was just “,”no buts” she said “accept it you are talking to me a tiger it’s not hard to believe after what I did to tour neck now is it”? “No I guess not” I said !” Good now that that is settled I think I should tell you my name”!” Your name”? I said “””yes my name I am dying to know it” I said .”its snow princess”! “Oh that’s a very fitting name for you Snow princess I am Alex” !”I know she said laughing I hear it all the time”! ”Well now that’s Settled lets go to bed you can sleep next to the bed if you want”! Without a word she lay down and went to bed! The next morning I woke up to sun shining on the bed I looked up to see who opened the curtains I smiled to see the tiger or Snow Princess as I knew her now looking out the window both paws on the window seal she turned around and said to my mind “your awake good I was getting hungry”!I sat up and got out of bed and went over to her and said “so am I” as I rang the bell soon two maids came in with food they saw snow princess and stood at the door in fright “it’s alright I said she won’t bite please bring some meat raw up will you “they bowed quickly and left coming up a little while later with a large serving dish piled with raw meat set it down and ran out!”Enjoy “I said and sat down to eat she did the same and began tearing at the meat hungrily!”So I said where did you come from”? “From a world magic in every way” she said!”Oh what’s its name I asked”?”Torine” she said。 “Never heard of it”! I said” it not a place you get to by foot it is magical so by magic doors you must get there”!'How did you end up hear then”? I asked She was silent a moment then said” I do not know I just suddenly one day found myself in this strange world on top of a mountain then I was caught and taken to the zoo she said”! I see I said so where do you find these magic doors I could help you get back to Torine” !”How could you help” she asked “you know nothing of magic”. “but I could take you to where ever you have to go” I said“”because you can’t wonder around by yourself or your bond to get caught again! She smiled and said “we don't have to travel far the first door is right here in your estate we just need to wait for night that is when the door opens and we will go into Torine”! “Wonderful” I said “I will go and help you get back to your world”! She licked my cheek and said “thank you Alex you don't know what this means to me”! I smiled “”glad to be able to return a favor and besides I have always longed for adventure and this looks like it might be a pretty good adventure!” That it will” she said! That night while house was sleeping we creped out onto the estate we used no light but relied on snows night vision I rod on her back we came to the very center of the estate where there was a garden with rose’s snow said something in a strange language and before my eyes a white door shimmered in the dark reflecting the moonlight .I inhaled and snow said “you ready “? I nodded she took a step forward and went through the door! stepping into a lush forest glittering in the moonlight!

Chapter3

“Welcome to Torine my home “she said “It is amazing” I said!”it is' she sighed '”well we must find somewhere to spend the night!” Well you know this place better than I do “ “I will leave that up to you”!She suddenly was very still as she said something in the strange language again and then before my eyes the whole forest was surrounded by creatures of all kinds! Then the way parted and an old bear came lumbering by standing on his hind legs he said “is that you snow Princess ?“”It is indeed me old brown bear I have returned with hope she said looking toward me he can understand and speak to animals the bear said “ it is him you have indeed brought hope no wonder the which ferried you away you were the one”! Then he turned to everyone and said “she has returned and has brought hope back with her” ! There were cheers all around now I was puzzled what on earth where they talking about why was I hope who was snow princess really and what was this talk about prophecy so I shouted out“would someone please tell me what is going on her”! Everyone turned to me and old brown bear said“do you not know”? “Know what “? I said “about the prophecy”! He said “what prophecy I know nothing would someone please like to explain what is going on”! “I am surprised I would have thought you had been informed by snow but since you have not we will explain to you come on follow us to papas den “!”To papas den they shouted” and turned I followed wondering where we were going I finally asked snow “what is papas den”? I asked ?” It is where are leader and elder lives”! She said “he is very old and very wise and kind so he is affectionately called papa but his name is Leo and you will call him such unless he gives you permission to call him papa then you have earned his friendship.””Why did you not tell me anything “?I said” because the time did not seem appropriate and papa can tell it much better than I can”!We soon came to a deep cave the Animals waited respectfully outside while the bear rumbled “oh Leo the prophesy you voiced is coming true”! There was a silence. Then heavy footsteps were heard then before my eyes stood a loin as big as the cave whole but not as large he looked ancient and weathered he looked from me to snow then snow to me and said ” it has come to pass”! “Papa” said brown bear “this young man knows nothing of what is happening to him we were hoping you could explain to him” ? “Of course”! said papa “come in Alex and snow princess we can talk alone “with that he turned and went into the cave the two of us followed him into the cave until we came to a bend in the cave we turned and found ourselves in an ancient study there was scrolls everywhere on shelves and by a desk sat a badger writing in a scroll! He looked up nodded at papa then went back to work papa turned to me and said “I will have to start a long time ago like most stories start when I was still a young lion there were two witches on good who lived in the mountain where it snowed and the other evil who lived in the jungles were it rained! They both could change into certain Animal the good witch turned into a white tiger with blue eyes and the evil turned into a panther with Black eyes! Now both witches had a dream one was to help others the other wanted world domination soon a war was fought between them and the witch was helped by a man who could talk to animals both witches died and for a time there was peace in the land but soon an evil witch who was the witches great granddaughter came to power and the great granddaughter of the great granddaughter of the good Witch also came to power she had a plain to overthrow the witch so she went in her animal form and Made a deal with the white tigers to help fight with every one of them had ether an elf or human for partner and they all could be chosen by the tigers but the evil which also made a deal with the panthers and they also fought with orks and other monsters as partners the battle was hard and many were lost in the end only one tiger remained with an elf as a partner no one knows what became of him but after that the world went into chaos and began to be in bad shape with the evil witches great great great Granddaughter ruling the country's and the good witches great great granddaughter was hiding up in the mountain but she had found a orphan white tiger cub in the mountains where she lived and while she was raising it I had a prophecy and it went like this in the White Mountains a beast whit strips and blue eyes and royalty in her! He is to be born and on earth a man who speaks to animals shall join her together they shall defeat the evil and bring peace to the land! After that prophecy I waited for such to be fulfilled I told the witch about it and she told me about the cub it could be her she said I know it is name her snow princess that is a fitting name for her and do not let her existence slip to the evil which I said she promised to do so but unknown to both of us the witches spies the crows had heard our conversation so the witch waited for the opportune moment then suddenly one day we found her gone we had lost all hope until today now we are once again full of hope and joy!” “That is the story boy and you are the end to the prophecy”! I sat there trying to take in everything I heard then said “but I don't know anything about fighting I have never fought in my life how do you expect me to lead an army”? ”We will help you to learn “said papas smiling” plus you have snow Princess the two of you together are like a indestructible force”! I shook my head “this is a bit much to take in all at once it is a bit over whelming”! “I understand said papa but it is your destiny.” Finally I said “she is royal”? looking at snow princess !” She is the goddess of all female cats and she can only be in human form or change at will when there is peace and love in the earth the tiger who was left alive is the god of all the mail cats but can change whenever he wants to in a way he is like her father”!”This is just too overwhelming I said ad covered my face with my hands I need time to think”! I said quietly everyone gave me privacy and I was soon alone in the small study!

Chapter4

While I was alone I took time to think of all that I had heard Snow princess was a young goddess and I was to work with her to save the world!
But then I had always longed for adventure and this was one I did not want to miss! Plus I hated being at home all the time only being appreciated for the money I made if this world could lead to a better life then I was ready to help!”Good “! Said a voice from behind me I turned around and saw papa standing there !”I am glad you made the right choice rest tonight and tomorrow I will tell you what things you are to proceed in” ! The next morning after I had changed into more appropriate close of olden days I went to the study with snow princess and at the cave all around it was Animals elves Centures and two large griffins! And in the center stood papa they made way for us and we went in to the circle then papa spoke “as you all know we are gathered here today to discuss the training of the young man hear “! 'His first lesson is to learn the accent language which will be taught to him by the Centures then when he has mastered that he will go to the elves for further training in magic and swordsmanship then to the animals to learn how to survive alone in the wilderness and lastly to the griffins to learn the wisdom of the accents by the end if all goes well he will be a skilled magician”! Everyone nodded in agreement then papa said “are we all agreed”? “We are agreed”! they said together!”good” “he may begin his training immediately tonight he will travel with Centrue Achelam and go back to the Centure forest with him “! A brown Centure with black hair and large horsey eyes stepped forward and bowed saying in a deep voice” it is a honor sir”! I bowed” I am also honored to travel with you “!” I said remembering that the Centure were very sensitive creatures and should be treated with respect! He nodded and said “we leave at sunset”!That night we went off into the forest toward the Centure forest and I began my lesson for being a warrior and magician!
The Centures forest was nothing more than a cleared part of the forest with a few tree scattered here and there! Snow queen who already knew the language was sent to another teacher to learn many different and harder words that would work better in her spell while started from the beginning it was hard but I was a fast learner and I could soon speak a simple conversation soon I went to harder words and this took a bite longer for me to master but slowly but surely I had finished my lessons at Centure land and had made good friends with Torino a Centure about my age who was one of the guards and was the Centure kings son and would be coming with me to the elf city to watch my progress! The time came for me and snow to go into the elf kingdom so we set off with Torino and four other guards who would escort us to the river where Elread the elder would wait for us in a boat along with two guards and take us by boat to the Elf city! So we began are journey and fell into No problems because the witch was gathering an army and could not spare any arms to come and so we got to the river and there standing by the river was a tall thin long haired silver haired elf with a straight noise and large catlike blue eyes! Besides him on ether side were tall strong long black haired elves with large mischievous black eyes and a cheeky smile they looked like they could be twins! We came up to them I bowed and said respectfully” Elread the elder it is a pleasure” he nodded and said “the pleasure is mine Alex and snow princess allow me to introduce Torry and Norry my personal guards “! They both came up to me slapped me on the back and said in deep voices that did not match them at all” great to meet you Alex white and you snow white”! Elread looked at them and coughed then said “shall we”? Pointing to the two boats “yes lets”! I said and walked to the boats with snow chuckling behind me we got on the boats while snow swam next to us in the water because she was too large and heavy to fit in the boat! Soon we came to a stop at a water bank we got out and walked to a tree line .Elread mumbled something in the accent language and went Into the trees we followed as soon as were behind the trees we were transported into a magical land with brilliant colors and trees of all shape and size and height colorful birds the likes I had never seen before exotic fruit trees the grass of the deepest green and happy music coming from everywhere! And there standing gracefully against a large oak tree was a woman of whose age I could not tell but she was beautiful in every way long black hair to her feet eyes large and angled like a cats they were of the deepest blue almost black with deep red lips was dressed in white flowing robes with a gold cloth tied around her waist and around her perfect head a band of gold slim like her figure! Behind her stood ten Elves all long silver haired like Elread all elders and in the very back stood a boy about my age tall strong with black hair up to his middle almond shaped blue black eyes and wore a robe of deep blue and around his wasn’t hung a sheath with a diamond hilted sword and a belt with diamonds on it and on his head a thin band of silver! Snow said to me that is Alexis the queens son! I nodded then the queen said “I hope your stay heir is pleasant as your training should be” !”My son will teach you the art of swordsmanship and we will send for Arumus the Elder to instruct you in magic”! Alexis came up to me and said” pleasure to meet you Alex”! “ The pleasure is mine prince Alexis”! Then he looked at snow princess and said and “it is a pleasure to meet you two snow princess”!The pleasure is mine” she said Alexis nodded !”you can speak to Animals to”? I asked,“of course”! He said Amused” all elf's are blessed with that talent”!”I see” I said “so I will see you on the sparing grounds . ,”I shall wait for you”! He said and left in a blink of an eye! Elread looked at me and said “we have summoned your magic teacher he should be hear shortly”!No sooner had he said those words then the crowd parted and a tall long haired silver haired elf dressed in white robes tied with a silver belt and a sheath with a black hilt and a green gem at the end and across the hilt he came slowly toward us what was walking next to him surprised both me and snow princess besides Him was a green eyed white tiger who looked almost as accent and old as the elf! Could this be the elf and tiger who escaped and had gone missing after all these years !” It could very well be said snow Answering my thoughts he was the only one left alive before we repopulated but no one knew where he was or what happened to him”!” Well we shall soon find out I said”! Torino was as shocked as we were and said aloud “I thought they had died but no her they are as if my some miracle they still are alive and ready to train the next batch of fighters”!

Chapter 5

once the elf reached me he said “I am Arumus the elder “”and I “said the white Tiger in a deep male voice “am lightning bolt your teacher young snow princess”! “I am honored to be trained by you I have heard so much about you I said”!'the honor is mine said Arumus” ! “We will start early tomorrow so get a good night’s rest so you will be ready for tomorrow”!Yes sir I said! “Come follow me” said Alexis who had followed us “I will show you were you can sleep”!We followed him to a hollow tree in which the inside was roots going up stares we climb up and lay down on a bed that was laid out for us soon We were asleep. The next morning I awoke to see the sans rays reflecting on the Scarface of the tree I got up snow was already up and waiting for me I got dressed shaved and went out to the forest floor there was lightning bolt watching us come down then he said “come Arumus waits for you” !We followed him to a deserted spot in which Arumus stood and said” your lessons will began shortly first you will learn how to block your mind so enemy s cannot enter in! “So concentrate and think of a wall as long as you can” ,I did as he said then sighed and said “it makes me tired”!””Yes” said Arumus you Have a good block but you need to work on your concentration for a longer period of time let’s try again” again and again we tried until the sun went down then he said” you did well but you can still Improve tomorrow you will try again this is one skill you need to perfect to protect yourself from the enemies way once you master this then we will go on to the harder magic and spells “soon snow came from her practice with lightning bolt and we both went back to our tree! It took five days for me to Master the mind blocking process after that I was thought magic in the morning by Arumus and went to practice sword play with Alexis he was a good swords man almost as good as the elves but I noticed that he looked more human then elf he was tall like the elves but did not have the pointed ears or fair skin his was more of a darker completion more olive skinned but he was the best swords men in the elf city only Arumas was a match for him! Arumus also came to fight I noticed he fought with his green hilted sword which was the most magnificent weapon I had ever seen it never failed him! My magic lessons went on and I soon had mastered many spell in the meantime Alexis and myself had become good friends he seemed to understand me better than all the other elves but his appearance confused me he was the queens son and yet he looked nothing like her or any elf for that matter the only elfish thing about him was his swordsmanship and his hight nothing else I wondered if maybe he was half human and the queen had married a human but I did not enter his mind for it was well blocked nor did I want to pry into his history so I put the matter at rest! Soon I was a skilled swords man myself and my training would soon be over at the elf city there was to be a ceremony on the last day of my training and I would be given a special gift to show everyone that I was now a skilled magician I had learned that all the magicians the good ones anyway had a tiger like snow princess as a partner and once they had finished the training they received this special gift from the elves !I wondered with snow princess even she was curious to know what it was and even she would receive a special gift! The day came I dressed for the ceremony in expensive robs of deep purple tied with a silver rope! There was singing and laughing in the air! I walked to the large oak in the center of the forest where the elves were to have the ceremony snow by my side! When we got to the center the queen Arumus and Lighting bolt were standing in front of the tree all around them were elves waiting expectedly for the ceremony to start I came up to them and bowed while snow bowed her large head there was cheering all around “silence!”the queens voice flowed through the crowed then she said “Arumus will speak “Arumus stepped forwarded and said “as you all know we are celebrating the completion of practice from one of the new magician so tonight in honor to him for completing his training we will all give them both gifts” !More cheering erupted when it had quieted down Arumus looked at me and said “the queen would like to give you your gift first!”I turned to the queen she clapped her hands and a elf came up from behind her holding in his hand a bow unlike any I had seen before and next to it was a quiver with arrows with black and white feathers the bow itself was amazing all down its wooden length were paintings of white tigers which looked so real that they looked like they could jump right off the wood the arrows where also made and decorated each arrows was painted black and white she looked at me and said“these will serve you well with these you will never miss your target and the arrows will never run out”!thank you your majesty I said I will cherish this for all ways and forever”!She smiled and said “I am glad you like it! Now we have a gift from the armor smith”! she said “for you both of you” she said that the armor smith came with armor wrapped for me and snow it was silver and shone in the Moonlight! I thank the smith as did snow and then there was a gift from Lighting bolt to snow a gold collar with blue gems like her eyes and said” this is your prize for finishing your training you can store power in those stones every tiger like yourself was given one when there training finished all the stones where the color of the eyes! She bowed her head and said thank you I will wear it always” !then Arumus looked at me and said “now it is time for your final and last gift it is the most prized weapon you wield and it will serve you well”!With that he took from behind him a sword sheathed in brown leather and a leather belt with blue stones with white and black mixed in it the stones swirled and did not seem to stay a solid color but as I unsheathed the sword I saw the most amazing weapon white silver steal and a black pained oak handle with a large blue gem on the top and a line of similar gems all along the handle! Just like Arumus sword !”It is amazing” I said” yes he said it is an elfin sword so it is coated With magic only you can wild it and fight with it .It will kill a enemy with one blow and if anyone else tries to use it they could not lift it it is built for your use and your use alone”!
I nodded and said” dose everyone like me get a sword the color of the tigers eyes I see you have a green belt and sword the color of Lighting bolts eyes” !”Yes he said the eyes of your tiger has power so in giving your sword the color of the eyes we give the sword the magic power it needs “said Arumus!”I see I said well thank you for the gift I will use it to its full use and not disappoint you” !”and as you use it you must name it see how well it serves you then give it the name you see fit to give it “said Arumus” I will”! I said “ I hope you do”! said Arumus and said “we have completed the ceremony everyone go home to morrow Alex will go with snow princess and Alexis to the animal kingdom to receive further instruction from the animals on life and wilderness survival”!I was surprised Alexis the prince was coming with us well I did enjoy his company but it still was a bit surprising I decided not to dwell on the matter but to get a good night’s rest so I went back to my tree house and went to bed with Snow princess keeping watch !

Chapter6

The next morning we prepared to go on our journey back through river to the deep animal forest we both dressed in cloaks and packed provisions for two men !Alexis seemed a bit nervous and agitated like he was afraid something bad was to happen ! before we left Arumus came up to me and said “on this journey you will learn who Alexis really is and when you do it will be up to you to make the choice of what to do”!I did not understand what he meant by that but I intended to find out Alexis himself was a mystery that I wanted to unravel! Snow princess was equally as puzzled as me but she said “I guess we shall find out wont we”? “We will' I said!
So the three of us began our journey by boat toward the forest as we got closer Alexis became even more agitated I wondered what was wrong with him but he simply refused to talk whenever I brought the subject up so I let him be and snow was as puzzled and worried as me as we got closer and closer to the shoreline once we got there I got out but Alexis would not budge “I will stay her and mind the boats he said”!I looked at him and said “why will you not come ?“No reason just don't want to go into the forest” he said!”why not” I asked snow nodded supporting my question ! “Because he said I don't want the animals to see me” he said !
Now I was angry “what is wrong with you “I said expatriated 'ever since you began this trip you have seemed upset what is it about you that you don't want people to see or know about”?You don't understand”! he said “the animals know who I really am and I am not going in there”!Before I could ask what he meant there was a rustle behind us Alexis covered his head with his cloak and sat very still not even breathing! Snow and I turned around to see a fawn a Centure and a bear standing by the woods greetings I said” I am Alex and this is snow princess we have come to receive instruction from you the elves sent us”! “Yes we know who you are said the centur and we know who she is but where is the third we heard that one more was traveling with you has he gone back”? I was about to say yes when I heard shouting from behind I turned and saw to Centures dragging Alexis by the Arms and saying he was in the boat trying to get away the Centure looked shocked then said “Alexis so you finally return to the forest that was very stupid of you”! Alexis just stared at him the Centure came up to him and said “take him away'! They were about to drag him away when I said “wait what has done he is my friend what is his crime”?Snow princess also growled at the Centure” his crime is being a spy” 'said the Centure “'he is Alexis the evil witches son”!I stared in shock the witches son “is this true” I asked him he looked at me and said scornfully “you don’t chose your parents” and with that he was dragged away into the dark! I stood there too frozen to move was this the secret that I was to find out about was the choice I had to make this to not hold a grudge against him just because he was the son of the evil which or to just forget him and leave him alone that thought made me sick no we were friends there was now a bond between us that could not be broken and besides what had he done besides being the witches son ? Besides Arumus knew and trusted the boy and if Arumus trusted him I could trust him too! But I had to talk to him find out the truth about him and if any other elf knew about his heritage! So I told all my thoughts to snow princess she agreed with me so after we had settled in we went to the prison cell and asked the guard if we could talk with Alexis he thought a moment then let us in we went up to the door unlocked it and went into the door he sat in the corner his legs stretched out and chains on his rests his hair covered his face he looked up and smiled a sour smile and said “come to ask me some questions are you well I guess you deserve to know so I will tell you my story not leaving anything out”!So he began 'my mother as you know by now is the witch my father I do not know who he is because my mother just wanted a child so she chose anybody she saw on the streets put a love spell on him and made love to him then throw him out and he never knew what happened to him soon I was born and as I grew up my mother saw that no matter what she did to me I would not go bad so she figured that it must be because I got a heart like my father and not like her she tried everything then when I was 15 I could bear it no more and ran away from her on the way I bumped into the Centures who knew who was they put me in jail but I escaped and ran deeper into the woods until I collapsed out of thirst hunger and fatigue when I awoke I found myself in a small hut there in the corner was Arumus the elder and next to him was lightning bolt !He told me that he found me half dead and so he brought me to his place when I tried to give a false name he said I know who you are! I froze !
Don't be afraid he said I will not hurt you .You are different from your mother you have a kind heart and I shall protect you after talking with me for some time he said come with me and then he took me to the elf village he presented me to the queen who had just lost her husband and son at first she did not trust Arumus judgment about me but after a while she softened up and said you may stay but I don't think any of the elves or elders would agree to me having the son of the enemy in the forest they would say he is spying for his mother and is only putting on an act so she came up with a plain I was to pose as her son conceived by a human man who she told everyone had died so convincing she sounded even I believed her he chuckled then said from that time on I stayed with elves learning there customs and becoming like them I learned my swordsmanship from Arumus and learned that I to could talk too animals soon after that Arumus had a vision it was of you and me traveling and fighting together then he received a prophecy which went like this two men one a witches son the other a millionaires son with panther for the witches and a tiger for the man for they will unite the two beats and races and ride the world of evil! But he told this to no one except the queen and me for in telling it he would revile who I was and thus put me in danger”! “But” I said “coming with me was dangerous you knew that you would be recognized so why did you come”?
Because said Alexis “the Elders said I should go to protect you because I was a good swordsman and I could not refuse without telling them who I really was so I had no choice but to go”!“I am sorry I said you have been through more then I could ever believe I wish there was something I could do to help”! He smiled sourly and bitterly “it wouldn't make a difference even if you told them the prophecy they think you made it up just cause you feel for me”! “Will they tell the elves “?
I said“yes they will”! “Off course she has to pretend she dose not know anything about just to save herself from going to court and Arumus must be silent as well but I doubt he will then he will be sent in to exile for helping a spy that’s what they think I am a spy working for my mother and nothing they or I say is going to change their mind”!There was a knock at the door “your time is up “came the guards voice” you have to leave now'! “I am sorry “I said then whispered “ I promise both of us promise to get you out of jail before they can do anything to harm you”!He gave a faint smile and said “you’re a great friend thank you for listening to me hardly anyone dose”! “Your welcome” I said as the door shut behind me! That night I could not sleep nether could snow princess we stayed up thoughts of what had just transpired running through both are heads! Snow finally said “it is amazing”! “What is”? I asked. “The prophecy panther and tiger wizard and man working together to defeat the evil in the land”! “It is something” I said “I wonder why papa did not see this”? “Maybe he could not said snow “maybe since he was a real wizard papa could only see you”!”Perhaps I said but this doesn't answer are question how are we going to rescue Alexis from prison and where can we go that would be a safe place by now the whole kingdom must know about him so I have nowhere to go”!'I have an Idea said snow the griffins also know the prophecy and the truth about Alexis if we could get to them I am sure that they would help us”!”That’s great I said but that still does not answer the question how are we to get him out “? “By magic of course” said snow as if the answer was obvious! Right I said” OK we will do it tonight “we both got up I began my first spell to put all fairy tail creatures and animals to sleep !Soon the whole forest was snoring! We ran to the prison cell it was locked I said one word and it opened! We went in and came to the door it was locked with magic and could only be opened with a magic sword since I had a magic sword I unsheathed it and hit the lock with all my might the sword made no noise but the lock broke and I opened the door Alexis was wide awake and grinning he said” so you have kept your promise that’s good.” ”I always keep my promises” I said his grin grew bigger I muttered some spell under my breath and the shackles shattered to peaces! Then we grabbed his small knife and long sword and ran out with snow princess a few steps behind us as we ran into the deep forest away from the animals!

Chapter 7

The next morning we were far enough that we could slow down and rest by a small stream! while we rested I told Alexis of our plains to go to the griffins he gladly agreed and soon we started off together again we still practiced sword play together even with silent warrior for that was the name I gave my sword because it fought in silence I was still beaten by Alexis one day I asked him” since your mother was a witch shouldn't you have magic in your blood and there for be able to practice magic? “He shook his head and said “you forget that I am only half wizard and therefore do not have that much magic in me only when a wizard like myself finds the right panther or tiger whichever ones choices to come to me then will my magic be increased and I will have full power and control over the magic I have in me“!
“I see” I said “well let us hope you find the panther soon for it is prophesied that you will”!He nodded and said “yes let us hope it is soon”!We went onward coming to a large mountain we had to climb we began to climb up suddenly out of now where a arrow flew passed us just missing Alexis shoulder more arrows flew we began shooting back at the attackers ork!I took out the bow that had been my gift and began shooting with deadly accuracy I was distracted for a moment then turned and saw that Alexis was gone! I looked around frantic then snow roared toward the air I looked up and saw a large dragon with red scales and clutched in his talons was the struggling figure of Alexis I was about to shoot the dragon down but then decided against it as it would probably do know good I sat on a flat rock and said he is gone the witch must have sent the army to try to get her son back and to get him on her side !Snow came and sat beside me as the tears started down my face I had lost a friend I didn't have very many real friends in my other life and so losing a good friend like Alexis was like a piece of my heart had been torn out snow was in the same state as I was and roared loudly to show her grief that she was sad because I had lost a friend I put my arms around her furry neck and sobbed into her fur! We sat like that for some time suddenly I saw a shadow come toward us I drew my bow then saw that it was a large griffin who was coming our way I recognized him as the griffin who I had seen when we gathered at papas cave! He came and landed on the rock ledge and said “so we meet again Alex has your training with the forest creatures finished already” ? “No I said we had another reason for coming hear” and I told him about Alexis and what had just happened! The griffins was thoughtful then he said “I think the war will begin soon if the witch has taken her son back that means she is about to begin and dose not want to be out numbered with wizards so she is taking her son back and will probably brainwash him or use magic on him so he will do as she tells him”! He shook his large head and said “this must be approached by a meeting of all the elders of all magical creatures and we must prepare for war”!”Both of you get on my back we must get back to the Griffin cave and approach the leaders about this”! So we both got on and with a loud screech he flew up into the sky toward the rock ledges where the cliff caves were! When we got there we both jumped off and stood next to the huge griffin “what is your name”? I asked suddenly !”oh yes my name where are my manners my name is Artherix and the others like me you may address as elder or sir”!”Follow me please” and we went down the long tunnel until we came to a dead end! Artherix said something and the stone slid to the side reviling a room with stone lanterns on either side we went in and there sitting around a stone table sat 10 Griffins there was one empty space and Artherix went to the spot now all 11 places were filled! After a while they looked at me and Artherix said “please tell us your story one more time please” !so I did all the 11 Elders seemed to all agree to what Artherix had said about the war being soon and a meeting of Elders must start Artherix as the chief elder would go back to the elf city with me on the way talk to the centurs and papa for the Animals so once that was settled we started back to the elfish city on Artherixs back! As we passed over the mountains Artherixs said it will take a bite of persuasion from the Animals because they think you helped a spy to escape but they have made an oath to help whenever there is danger I don't think the creatures especially the centure will go back on their word! I nodded good I am glad my action did not make permanent enemies of us snow said to my thoughts they are probably hoping that you kill him in battle because he is now under a spell and working for the witch! Perhaps but that is something I could never do I said if there was a way I would take the spell of him but I know not how !there might be someone who could help said snow who I said the whit witch in the snowy mountains she will come to the meeting of elders and I am sure she will help you! That is wonderful I said thanks so much your welcome she said softly! We soon came over the forest we did not stop but Artherixs sent a message with his mind to all the elders and animals of the forest then the Centures and soon we arrived back at the elf city when we got there the center had been cleared and the queen Arumus and all the silver haired Elders were there plus papa two old Centures and one griffin and a woman with snow white Hair up to her feet blue eyes and an elfish body and ears she did not look over 30 and was wearing a snow white dress! The witch from the snowy mountains I said I didn't know she was an elf! Snow nodded and said both did I was paying close attention to her looks and I was still young! I nodded this explained her goodness! Then all the elders turned to us and called us over we went to the group and stood in the circle! The witch looked at snow and said I am glad to see that you have come back safely they all agreed there was a silence then the queen said as you all know the queen has taken Alexis back and you all know by now that he is her son whom you be leave is a spy she looked grave and continued the queen taking him can mean only one thing war and very soon! So we must gather forces together train harder than before and work to make a strong army !Are we agreed ? We are agreed said everyone. Good now everyone go back and recruit your Army Arumus is training the elves and witch Ellya will take over lessons with Alex and snow will go with Lighting bolt the meeting is dismissed!
As soon as everyone left ellya the witch came up to me and said it is a pleasure to finally meet you young Alex her voice was like sweet music As I am honored to be trained by you I said !She smiled and said well let us not waist anymore time shall we please follow me! I did and she led me to an empty part of the forest!
Tell me what has Arumus taught you already she said mostly how to defend myself when attacked by something or some spell! She nodded and said I will teach you more how to do death spell how to communicate from a distance and how to draw energy from plants and your surroundings when you run out of strength when fighting she taught me all those things and much more so by the end of the month I had master quite a few spells then one day I told her about Alexis and what the witch might do to him and asked her if there was any way to break the enchantment! There is one she said but it is very difficult and if not done right it can damage the persons brain forever so it takes great skill and confidence that you know you have the spell right to do it! I frowned so it not a good idea for me to try it not if you run the risk of injuring the mind of that person! Magic should be treated with care and respect it not something to take lightly! But you could break the spell could you not I said desperate now I could she said but how to get to him is another question because he could kill you before I could reach him! A feeling of hopelessness came over me I would never get my friend back and I could get killed by him!
The witch saw my unease and said don't give up hope he might get strong enough to resist the magic if he finds his Animal! Let us hope he dose I said!
See she said there is still hope! I told snow about it and she said she is right we must have hop I know I said it just hard to have hope when everything around you is going downward! That is why you must have faith as well as hope in order to win this battle I hugged her and said where would I be without you? Not in Torine that is for sure she said that defiantly true I laughed we smiled and drifted off to sleep!

Chapter 8


All to soon the day of battle had arrived we were fighting in a large field in the center of the kingdom witch Ellya and I along with snow princess were in front leading the Army of elves next to me was Centure General Toriny leading a heard of Centure solders then papas son Simba was leading the Animals who were to fight there was quite a large heard of Animals then in the sky griffin general Lorin was leading his army from the sky! We all held are position waiting for my signal! Soon from the other side off the plains we saw a large crowd of dust as it got closer we saw figures finally it stopped a mile from us in the front I saw a woman in black with a pointed hat and long black hair black almond shaped eyes and a tall body next to her was a black panther with midnight blue eyes that must be the witch I said to myself it seems like Alexis had inherited his mothers looks but where was he I looked around and behind I saw a large army of orks some more panthers all looking evil there were also dragons in the sky and two large trolls in the very back but he was nowhere in sight what do you think she did to him I said to snow princess,?
I don't know she said she might have killed him when he refused to join her and did it before he could meet his panther! I certainly hope not I said with a lump in my throat! Snow princess nodded and said so do I but know is not the time to dwell on such matter we have a war to fight and we must concentrate on that!
Yes I said then I nodded at Ellya raised silent warrior and said charge!
The witch raised a shiny black sword and charged and the battle began the sky darkening by shadows of the griffins and dragons fighting against each other the ground nosy with the clash of swords ! Ellya was fighting the evil witch blue sparks and balls of fire shooting back and for between both of them! I had just finished killing another ork when Ellya fell to the ground the witch cackled an evil laugh then turned to me I looked at snow princess and we joined minds together giving me a new burst of energy the witch charged her panther by her side looking just as evil as her the panther sprigged and snow and him both went rolling in the ground the witch said something a spell I blocked she cast more spells I blocked them every time but she was much stronger than me and had more endurance I soon began to tire and be less couscous finally she got me on the arm with a fire ball I clutched my arm she sent another spell I froze it was the death spell I could not move she had tied me to the ground she was halfway through her spell when from behind a man in dark armor wielding a black shinny sword which he put through her back all the way through she froze sputtered then fell to the floor dead !as soon as she fell snow bloody on one leg came limping toward me and said he is dead I patted her then looked up to thank the man when I did I noticed a black panther with black eyes standing next to him ! My heart skipped a beat then said Alexis! Is that you?
The man took off his helmet and sure enough it was Alexis smiling down at me and said how did you guess? The black panther black eyes you saving me I said!
Very good answers he said. Then he held out his hand and said it is good to see you again I thought I was going to lose you when the witch started the spell !
But I saved you just like you saved me from being killed in jail we hugged for a moment then I looked around destruction was everywhere both sides had paired a terrible price but the enemy had fled after the witches death so the battle was over and we were victorious I smiled and said the prophecy has been fulfilled !

Chapter9

Soon people began cleaning up after the battle no one knew of Alexis presence yet so we both went behind a large rock and sat down then I said what happened to you? So he began his story when the dragon carried me of I tried to break lose but it did not work and I knew where they were going to take me I was a bit afraid of what might be done to me but I kept a brave face we got to the witches hideout and I was brought to her! Her panther midnight had given birth to a cub the moment I walked in the little cub walked up to me and told me it had chosen me for it friend the moment she said it I felt the energy grow in me before the witch let it grow he tried to put a spell on me but I had already made a plan with moonlight we joined together and resisted the spell but we did not want to give ourselves away so we faked it pretended that the spell had worked so she trained us both midnight taught moonlight and the witch taught me my power was twice as strong as hers no one knows why but it seemed like I had just as much power as she did when I was born but I could not let it out until moonlight came and when she did the power in me doubled so I became twice as strong when my training was over I was presented with this sword which I have called witch slayer and moonlight the black color of power to store energy in after that we began to march toward the plains just as her back was turned we both ran into the forest and used magic to conceal ourselves then when they had given up we followed and got to you just in time! Amazing I said that s truly amazing there can be no doubt about it know and they cannot deny it anymore you killed her so you are not a spy they have misjudged you and owe you an apology don't they snow ? They do indeed said snow then turned to the panther and said I am so pleased to meet you moonlight as am I I said moonlight smiled and said and I am also pleased to make your acquaintance then Alexis said do you know that moonlight is the goddess of the night and like snow princess can only change to human when there is a everlasting peace on the earth which should be very soon! We then all got up and went toward the elders who had gathered around the dead body of Ellya! We came and stood round Arumus looked at me and nodded all the elders looked at Alexis and nodded at him he nodded back we soon berried all the dead and started back toward the elf city everyone had heard of what Alexis had done so everyone was allowing him back as the queens son and the queen was very happy everyone was happy and so there was peace one again!

Chapter 10

Once morning we woke up with the morning rays of sun on our faces when we looked and saw that snow princess and moonlight were gone! We sat up only to come face to face with two beautiful woman smiling at us ! One was pale with long white blond hair up to her feet it covered her like a curtain with blue eyes that were familiar large and catlike she was wearing a black and white dress and around her neck was a choker with blue stones like her eyes she was also tall and graceful the other girl was beautiful but in a different with black smooth hair up to her feet dark eyes black skin and large lips and eyes which were also catlike both had angled faces and shapely bodies around both necks were chokers the color of their eyes we both guessed who they were snow princess and moonlight we said together !

They smiled and said in the same voices they always had yes it is us we are freed from are animal bodies with the peace on earth and now we give ourselves to you!

We were both shocked but over the years we had come to love them and now that we saw them in their human form said we would love to have you if you will have us we said it each to our own girl and they both said yes we do so a few days later we were happily married and ruled the world in peace and joy forever after!

And they all lived happily ever after!


The End!
