Across the Sea: Prologue | The Thwap House

hello hello everyone! After a while of planning, the prequel FF, Across the Sea. Is here! Today I’m just gonna give you the prologue, and I hope to give you the next chapter sometime tomorrow ^^

This is pretty short, but just a taste of what’s to come. I hope you like it, and please give me some feedback in the comments!

PROLOGUE

The High King, Jru Wingfeather, the High Queen, Nala Wingfeather, and the old king, Ortham Wingfeather, went on a long trip to the Hollows. There was a slight problem with the Keeper and the King, so, there was an agreement made that they would meet in peace and settle the issue.

The children of Nala and Jru were very confident in staying home at the castle, with their Aunt and Grandmother. Though things took a turn for the worse. One day, a message was sent….they, all three monarchs of Anniera….were killed.

So much speculation arose. Had the Keeper had them killed because of the tension? Perhaps, Bonifer Squoon, who had just had a very large fight with Ortham, sent them into a trap? Was Reginald, the palace cook, the most shifty of the servants, involved somehow? Or perhaps it was all done by the wicked men and women of Yorsha Doon?

Such were the thoughts of all of the servants of the castle, though the first three seemed utterly impossible. Bonifer had always been faithful, Reginald was a gentleman, and the Keeper was the Queen’s cousin! In addition to that, there Keeper had sent a letter out, saying how much he was grieved over the loss, sending condolences, and much love to his young cousins……the children. The Jewels of Anniera.

What would become of them?

Bonifer Squoon paced back in forth wondering what. Though he quickly had a plan. This man always did……

NOTES:
