It was a beautiful day. The sun had just crept over the horizon to bathe the kingdom in it's light and paint the sky with it's golden colors.

Although it was early, one particular little girl had other plans other than sleeping.

"MOMMY WAKE UP ITS MORNING!!!!" Yelled a little girl with flame colored hair as she jumped on her mother, her golden tipped wings flailing as she jumped.

"Mum?" she said.

"Rose Its too early..." said her mother, who had covered her face with her wings.

"BUT ITS MORNING!!"

There was a knock on the slightly opened door.

"Queen Thorn?" spoke a husky voice.

"HI, KIPPER!" Rose yelled

"For the last time, Princess, my name isnt Kipper... Its David..." said the voice again.

"Whatever." Rose muttered.

The queen sat up, stretching her worn out wings.

Rose always wondered what happened to her mother's wings. They got worn out somehow, but Rose never knew how.

"The rest of the guard's found something you might wanna see"

That got Queen Thorn's attention.

Queen Thorn entered the council room, full of talking guard's and council members.

Her arrival made everyone quiet down and turn their heads. They stood.

"Your majesty" they all stated with a curt bow.

The queen told Rose to stay in her room, but the curiousity got the best of her. She watched the gathering through a window.

Thorn took her seat.

Everyone sat.

One stood and pulled something out of his pouch.

It looked like a normal box to Rose.

The guard opened it.

Rose's green eyes widened at what she saw.

That was a purple tipped feather.

Rose's heart dropped.

Thorn gasped. "Where did you find this?" she said angrily.

"Out on the edge of the Shadow Kingdom" he replied.

"But the Shadow Kingdom was taken over by Deviatrix's army!" exclaimed a female guard.

The whole room was washed over by shocked whispers and murmers at the item that was just shown.

Thorn raised her wings to silence them. The room grew quiet.

"We'll send a patrol to check it out-"

Rose couldn't hear anything else.

"Huh?" she whispered. She leaned in closer to hear better.

Her heart skipped a beat as she lost balance and fell down into the council room.

She screamed as she fell and flapped her wings, but failed to stay in the air.

The yelped as she was caught by someone. "Watch where your goin, kiddo" said... David was his name?

Rose covered her face as all eyes turned on her. "H-hi"

Rose was dragged through the hallway. "I told you to stay!" Thorn exclaimed.

"I'm sorry!" Rose said

Thorn put her on the bed. "You almost died! You are to stay here, while I take a patrol, got that?" she demanded.

Rose nodded. "Yes ma'am"

Soon enough, the shape of Thorn and a patrol was walking toward the Shadow Kingdom.

Rose watched on angrily. "I'm gonna help." She decided and pulled up her hoodie, hid her wings and snuck out after the patrol.

To catch everyone up, Deviatrix is a queen and she has purple tipped wings. Thanks for reading!
