A battle rages in Galmel's Dark Castle! Prince Fredrick of Southland clashes sword to staff with the Dark Wizard Galmel! Fredrick and Galmel stand on both sides of the room. Fredrick has hug dents in his shining, silver-lined armor In one hand a hefty shield to fend off some of Galmel's elemental magic power and physical attacks. In te other hand, Fredrick carries his Magic Sword of the Five Relms. It was enchanted by wizard, faeries, elves, nature spirits, and gods to help stop Galmel's dark powers. Galmel casts a powerful lighting spell, it was as fast as its namesake, but Fredrick also had lightning-fast reflexes and smoothly dodges the magic. He lunges at Galmel, knocking him backwards. Galmel sputters from the blow, hanging on his devilish staff of power. He hunched over like a decrypted old man, staring at Fredrick with a vengeful hate.
" None I have faced have ever pushed me this far..." Galmel hissed, "...because any man who has faced has either been turned into a monster or killed brutally by my hand" Galmel coughed, blood splattered the floor, " I haven't the faintest clue on how you got that magic sword, but even that sword will not stop me! I have powers from the Dark Daemons themselves! I will destroy you, Then I will destroy your land, just as I have destroyed this land!" Galmel throws a deadly fireball that he'd been conjuring as he spoke, catching Fredrick off- guard and sending him flying backward! Fredrick quickly sprung to his feet as Galmel tried to freeze him on the ground with and ice spell. He throws another fireball in anger, but Fredrick bats the fireball away with his sword.
"You will be the one to die Galmel!" The Stalwart Prince declared, "Your actions have tormented Northland long enough! I have fought my way though this darkened land, battling thousands of you monsters and minions. I've stormed through your devilish castle, defeated your dragon guardian and freeing him from your spell of enslavement and I will take you down! I am not only Northland's hope, but I am also Princess Eliza's hope!"
"Ah ,yes," Galmel smiles wolfishly," the princess. Yes, The Princess of Northland is here, I won't lie to you about that, but you won't be getting to her, not while I live!"
"Then you will die!" Fredrick lets out a cry as he speed to Galmel, he teleport to the other side of the room, and throw another fireball behind Fredrick's back. Fredrick whrils around flailing his sword and bats back to Galmel. The force of the magic blasts away Galmel throgh his tinted window
"UUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH" Galmel screamed as he fell to his doom. Fredrick is victorious! The Dark Wizard is no more!
Fredrick stepped up to the next chamber, there he saw the fair Princess Eliza, trapped in a bedroom; the doorway was blocked by a magical barrier. The Prince grips his sword with both hands and thrusts the blade through the enterance, smashing the seal in a giant flash of light. Slowly, Fredrick steps into the room, the Princess turned to see him. She wore a pick frilly dress and a small gold circlet that lines her forehead and here long, curly blond hair.
"Fair Princess Eliza," Fredrick began, "I am Prince Fredrick of Southland, son of King Alexander. I have come across your father's land to find it in darkness. Long have I fought to liberate the land from that darkness. And now I have defeated the dark wizard Galmel to rescue you"
"Oh, My Hero!" Eliza ran to Fredrick, they had a long, loving embrace, "You have healed my heart, Prince Fredrick, and now, I wish to give it to you!"
"Come my princess! Let us escape this dreadful castle!" And so Fredrick and Eliza make their way down the tower and out of the castle walls. Eliza wrapped herself around Fredrick's arm as he lead her safely though, her torment was over, the land was free, she will finally return home, and she has finally found love. But as the couple got close to the exit, a dark figure stood in the way. Fredrick's eyes widened, he jumped in front of Eliza.
"No...no, impossible!" Fredrick stammered, "There was no way you could have survived that fall!"
"Hahahaha! You dumb fool" The figure stepped inside the castle, it was Galmel, he was unscathed, "Did you really think a small drop could kill me?"
"You castle is 5 stories high!" Fredrick hid behind his shield, ready to protect Eliza, "And the tower!"
"You underestimate me!" Galmel cackled, then frowned, "To be fair, I also underestimated you, but..." his wolf smile twisted again as he charged up a ball of dark matter, "I won't make that mistake again, and you won't get the chance to fix yours!" Galmel threw is ball of dark energy at Fredrick. Fredrick smiled in confidence and swung his sword at the ball. A giant flash of light filled the room! Eliza closed her eyes and upon opening them, she couldn't find Fredrick, the prince was nowhere to be found. All that was left of him was his sword now laying on the ground. Her heart sunk, she grew blind with her tears.
"You...you..." Eliza squeaked, "...You vaporized him!" She screamed, "You heartless monster!" Galmel stepped forward, Eliza grabbed the sword, "Stay away from me! Don't come near me!"
"Hahahaha! No one will save you! So I suggest you get back in your room before I make you."
Suddenly, Eliza heard Fredrick's voice, it was faint, but still hearable , "Run, Eliza!" Eliza sprinted away desperatly searching for a way out and the sorce of Fredrick's voice.
"Fredrick! Where are you?" Eliza called,
"I'm here!" Fredrick called back,
"Where?"
"I'm looking at you!"
"What?"
"I'm the sword you are holding!"
The princess stopped in her tracks, examining the sword, it looked no different than any other sword she's seen. She then put her ear to the hilt and whispered, "Fredrick?"
"Yes"
Eliza jumped, throwing the sword in the air."Fredrick?" she gasped, "What...What happened?"
"I'm not sure, love, I cannot move at all, I can still feel my mind, and my soul, and I can still speak."
"Oh my..." Eliza carefully lifted Fredrick, "This is some kind of enchantment..."
"Galmel!" Fredrick growled"
"He must have sealed your body inside this sword!"
"The fiend! He played on my strategy!"
"Oh I'm so sorry! I brought you into to this and now look at you!"
"This was my own mistake my princess! You were only a victim to that wizard. You were taken against your will! I'm here to protect you! But..." Fredrick sounded distraught, "How can I protect you when I can't move on my own?"
"I can keep you with me."
"And you can use me as a weapon! Of course!"
"What? I-"
"I'm a sword for god's sake! I can hurt people! Yes!"
"But I can't...hurt people"
"Sure you can! Just swing me at people!"
"I...don't know..."
"It's easy Eliza!"
"For you, Fredrick. But I've never fought before. I can't even face little imp. Even dogs scare me. How could I hope to engage in combat?"
"I can tell you. I've been in combat most of my life, if I didn't I wouldn't be here would I?" Fredrick laughed, Eliza let out a nervous chuckle, "Don't worry, I'll try to make sure you won't fight unless you have to, and even then, I'll help you overcome an enemy."
"Really? You promise?"
"I made a promise that I would save you from you pain, my love, and I will still keep this promise until you are out of it, no matter what pain I endure myself."
"Oh Fredrick!" Eliza cried. Her knight in shining armor wasn't a knight anymore, but even then, he still wanted to save here no matter what the cost. She owed it to him to save his live because he saved hers."I'll find some way to break this spell! I promise you won't be a sword forever! And then we can finally live happly"
"Yes, but first let us escape this castle because Galmel is still looking for you."
Eliza gulped, and nodded.
