Mark and I were in silly moods writing this... as I'm sure is evident. ;p And the first two lines were the result of a dare, lol.

Chapter 2

Meanwhile, deep inside Castle Regent, a horrible screeching noise could be felt as well as heard by all nearby. “Dirty socks!” It was almost a curse. “Dirty socks!” Queen Alexias repeated. “Why am I constantly surrounded by dirty socks!”

Then the realization flooded her senses. If Cambria had not done the laundry, then what had that would-be-princess been up to?

“Guards! Guards!” Queen Alexias called out.

Four guards dressed in dirty armor rushed in to her chambers. Evidently their laundry hadn't been done either.

“You were supposed to be watching Cambria in the laundry-cleaning-room-slash-courtyard-place! Why aren't you there doing that?”

The guards looked at each other. Then the bravest spoke up. “Um... because you called us to be here, your majesty?” The other three guards edged away from him, wanting no part in his bravery or blame.

Queen Alexias considered that a moment. “Good point. Is she there now?”

“Um... no?”

“And why NOT?”

The brave guard, who wasn't really brave, just seemingly so since he was braver than the other three, said hesitantly, “Because, your majesty, you had told us not to leave our posts unless you called us? And... you see, she kind of escaped? But we couldn't go get her without leaving our posts... so...” The guard trailed off, and hung his head.

Alexias was now glaring down at these guards, her black lips slightly parted, showing her black teeth.* Just as the thought of murder entered her black heart, there was a rumbling, then a crack of lighting as the wise sage Ash teleported into the room.

*After a bad experience with a root-canal, the Queen had exiled all dentists. The King promptly vetoed this, but still, no dentist would dare come anywhere near the queen.

“Perhaps her benevolence requires assistance?” Ash spoke softly to the queen, yet her voice had that edge of power that could call the greatest powers of the universe to do her bidding. Queen Alexias knew this, and envied it.

“Only a trivial matter, really. Dear Ash, my oh-so-previous step-daughter has wandered off, would you be a dear and help find her?” Alexias about boiled over in the effort to keep her voice sweet.

“Hmmm, well, a princess fleeing the castle seems hardly a trivial matter to me. Why, there are fierce beasts outside these walls, such as giant scorpions, trolls, even dragons! I should hate to think what would happen if our little princess came near a dragon without so much as an anti-fire shield to protect her.”

The queen suppressed a smile. Roast brat sounded delicious. “Prepare for me the Well of Where-Things-Went. We will use the WWTW to find Cambria and --”

As if on cue, a tall, well-muscled man with a circlet of gold atop his graying hair strode into the room.

“... And, er, make sure our lovely princess is safe,” Queen Alexias finished up with ice-edged sweetness.

“Oh, dear,” the king said. “Has my daughter gotten herself into trouble? And dear, why in Gielinor are you wearing dirty socks?”

Alexias raised a dark eyebrow as Ash spoke. “Apologies, sire, her royal benevolence was assisting me in my never-ending magical experiments.”

“Right. Well, no need to smell like those awful HAM members, people, cleanliness is next to kingliness!”

“I thought it was next to godliness?” the brave guard pointed out.

“No, that's absurd. Who are you to know anything about wise sayings?” The king chuckled at the thought of a mere guard knowing more than him and gracefully strode out of the room.

As the queen turned around, she found that Ash and the guards had also made a silent departure, leaving the queen alone with her WWTW to figure out where that blasted bratty princess had gone.

Deep in the caverns below Castle Regent, a small mouse kneeled before a mirror. “I understand,” the mouse said to the mirror. “Take heart, fair lady, justice shall yet prevail,” said Karissa (for that was this mouse's chosen name. She liked it much better than her given name, “Stinky Cheese Breath”) She rose, bearing the legendary sword Excalibur Jr., which seemed to be little more than a piece of hardened string cheese attached to a wooden handle. But that handle had been carved from magic logs, and the sword was blessed by none other than Lady Ash'* grandparents.

Karissa smirked and said, “Time for Madam Blackteeth's well to have a boo-boo or two.”
