“Oh… this is yours? What would happen if I do this?” Tani asked with an evil smile on her face. She snapped the sword in half and threw it on the ground.
The two broken pieces slid in front of Flame’s feet. She picked up both pieces and for a brief moment, she was mad. A small thought popped into her mind. “You think you broke it but you didn’t.” She carried both pieces of the sword over to Lassy.
“What do you mean?” Tani asked, confused.
“You’ll see.” Flame handed the broken sword to her friend. “Here take these and put them together.”
“But, Flame?” Lassy was just as confused as Tani was. “I don’t know….”
“You don’t think that you can fix this; am I right?” Flame replied.
“Yeah,” Lassy answered.
“I know you can do it,” Flame spoke with encouragement.
“Okay.” Lassy placed the two pieces together and instantly the sword was back in one piece. “What did I just do?”
“You fixed my sword. Thank you, Lassy.” Flame smiled and took the sword back for Lassy.
“You’re welcome, Flame, but how did I do that? That’s what I want to know.” Lassy was in shock at the ability she didn’t even realize she had.
“It’s in your blood,” Flame answered.
“But I-” Tani tried to make sense of the situation. “How did you… it’s impossible… I broke it… John, say something!”
“Flame, how did she do that?” John asked.
“I’m not going to tell you,” Flame replied with a smile. “Oh, Le-on,” she sang.
“Yes, Flame?” the strong fierce lion answered.
“Get Timmathy away from Joseph for me, please,” Flame replied.
“It will be my pleasure, Flame.” Leon turned his attention toward Joseph and Timmathy.
“Thanks, Leon,” the princess replied.
“No problem.” Leon crawled his way behind Timmathy and be prepared to pounce.
Meanwhile, Princess began fighting one of the guards while Lassy and Tani fought. Samwell and Raphael teamed up against a couple of other people and Flame went back to fighting with John.
“We both can’t have her, Joseph. That means one of us has to die… and that will be you because I seen Flame first,” Timmathy spoke while he walked closer toward Joseph. “I guess you think that you can like her. Well, you can’t have her.”
“And what makes you so sure about that?” Joseph asked.
“Because she’s a princess… that’s why.”
“If I were you, I’d turn around.”
“Why? So, you can pull your sword out and stab me in the back with it?”
Leon launched on Timmathy, knocking him over. He laughed and dug his sharp claws into Timmathy’s back to make things worse. “Take this, Timmathy. Hahaha… Run, Joseph! Go before he gets up.” The lion jumped off of Timmathy and watched him.
“No,” Joseph replied. “I’ll help you for helping me. It’s only fair.”
“Sounds good to me,” Leon agreed.
“Oh man.” Timmathy slowly stood up and glanced at Joseph and Leon. “That’s not fair. I don’t have anyone to help me, but there’s two of you.”
“We know,” Leon replied.
“You can’t… it’s not… you guys are breaking the rules… helping each other… you can only do that if I had someone helping me.”
“So,” Joseph replied with a shrug. “We don’t care about that… right, Leon?”
“Right, Joseph,” Leon answered.
“No,” Timmathy said and wound up backing into a wall.
Leon and Joseph both prepared to fight.
Timmathy didn’t know who he should fight first. “You can’t do this,” he replied with anger. “And you know it, Joseph.”
“I can and I will,” Joseph replied.
Princess locked eyes with the guard. “You want to fight? Come on… come and get me,” she told the man. She stared into the man’s eyes and instantly the guard was stricken with fear. He couldn’t move at all and she knocked him over.
SurrenderAt that time, Samwell and Raphael had made their way over to Princess. Samwell was amazed by what Princess had done to the guard. “What… how… but… but how did you do that?” he asked.
Princess laughed. “Honestly, Samwell, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she joked.
John and Flame fought by using their powers. “All the dead in the grave come to me and attack my sister and kill her,” John spoke with a small smile.
“That won’t work this time, John,” Flame replied.
The bodies of the dead moved toward Flame. She held onto her flaming sword and one by one she destroyed them. “This is why they call me Flame,” she spoke while she fought.
Each dead body disappeared after they had been destroyed. John was furious by what he had just seen. He left with Tani and Timmathy. Flame knew that the battle against her brother wasn’t over and had a feeling that he was going to find a place where he could get stronger. His enemy was no longer their beloved father but now Flame was his next target.
Just the BeginningJoseph walked over to Flame. “This is just the beginning. Right, Flame?” he asked.
“Yeah this is, Joseph,” she answered. “It’s only the beginning. He’ll be back but even more powerful.” She placed her sword back into the sheath and began crying. She rested her head on Joseph’s chest. He tried to cheer her up with Lassy and Princess’s help.
“Flame… I won’t let John get you. If he does, I’ll save you. I want you to know that.”
“Thanks, Joseph.”
“You’re welcome, Flame.”
Princess and Lassy took the moment to start singing:
“Flame and Joseph
Sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes Joseph with
A baby carriage”
It was childish but it got everyone to laugh. The two girls continued singing:
“That’s not all
That’s not all
Eating peanut butter
And kissing each other”
Flame laughed and Joseph blushed. He thought about what Timmathy had mentioned about how him and Flame weren’t right for each other because they were from different worlds.
“Joseph, you don’t need to be embarrassed… and besides, it’s not what’s on the outside… it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Like I said before I love you and nothing can change that,” Flame told him.
“I love you too, Flame. You’re right I can’t believe Timmathy,” he replied.
“Now that’s the Joseph we know talking,” Leon interrupted. “We better get going; the king and queen are probably worried about you Flame.”
“Leon’s right,” Flame agreed. “We better get going.”
The HorsesFlame used the flute type instrument to call the three horses. Blackheart, Scrap, and Sunlight had appeared instantly. Joseph, Raphael, and Samwell’s eyes grew wide at the sight. They remembered that Leon had told them about the horses but they hadn’t thought about it.
“Where did you three get the horses from?” Joseph asked.
“From an old elf named Ed,” Flame answered.
“How old is he?”
“He’s really old, Joseph… about eight hundred years old.”
“Oh… okay… are you sure, Flame?”
Flame laughed at the question. “Yes, I’m sure. Isn’t that right?” she asked Princess, Lassy, and Leon.
“It’s true, Joseph,” all three of them replied with nods.
“Okay,” Joseph spoke with sigh.
“So, Princess, can you introduce me to your horse?” Samwell asked.
“Yeah sure… Samwell, this is Scrap. Samwell is my boyfriend,” she told the horse after talking to Samwell.
Samwell lost his smile at the sound of the horse’s name, confused. “Why is she named Scrap?”
“Good question. I asked Ed but he said, ‘You don’t want to know.’ So I’m not sure.”
“Oh.”
“Raphael,” Lassy said. “This is Sunlight. Isn’t she beautiful?”
“Yeah, she is,” Raphael agreed.
“So, Flame, what’s her name?” Joseph asked.
“Her name is Blackheart, and Joseph, she’s a he… Blackheart’s a boy horse, not a girl,” Flame answered.
“Oh… I’m sorry, Blackheart, for calling you a girl.”
Flame looked down at her dress and realized that she needed to change out of the wedding dress. “I’m going to go change back into my original dress before we leave. Okay, guys?”
“Okay, Flame,” everyone spoke with a smile.
Journey HomeWhen Flame walked out in her dress, the group decided to start heading for home. They stopped once it was late. Joseph and Flame stared at the stars and had a conversation.
“When I was little,” Joseph explained, “I would always go outside at night and I would look at the stars and the moon. Sometimes my dad would join me, and he would always say, ‘Your mother would be happy to us… she’s probably watching us right now from the stars.’”
“What happened to our mother, Joseph?” Flame asked. “Why don’t you do this anymore? And what happened to your dad?”
“My mom had a really bad heart attack, but since there wasn’t anyone to help her, she died. I don’t do this anymore because it would make me think about her and my dad. My dad died because of these two idiots that stabbed him right in the heart. I ran to my aunt and uncle’s house which is Lassy and Samwell’s house. Lassy and Samwell are my two only cousins. Well, their mom and dad died because of a fire. So we moved to the village where Princess and Raphael live and stayed there ever since.”
“That’s a sad story. Can I ask you something else?”
“Yeah… go ahead.”
“How did you meet Kona?”
“I found her alone. No one to take care of her so I took her as my pet because
