The Mysterious Eowyn
The Fall Down of Blood Maple
The Kingdom of Blood Maple was surrounded by the Stringray Invaders. They wanted the Blood Maple Family to abduct the throne. King Elwell is still fighting with King Xerxon, the king of Stingray. In the end, King Elwell was killed and his wife is still in search.
While the people of the Kingdom are also hiding under the King's guards. One of it was Queen Annabel, she was holding her four children, Adonis the eldest, Cornelia her little sister, and their baby little sister Adele.
Mrs. Sandy Edgar
You majesty, I am worried of your condition right now. If you would mind I would carry the little Princess with me and you take a nap.
Mr. Edgar
Yes your majesty, you should rest. Let us your people care for your children.
Queen Annabel
Oh my people, I apologize for joining you in this situation. If only I had regained my strength...
Mrs. Sandy Edgar
Your Majesty, you and your family were always good that's why we, the people of Blood Maple followed you.
Princess Marigold
Mom, when would father comeback? I'm scared.
Queen Annabel
Don't be, my Marigold. He will comeback.
Prince Adonis
Marigold don't be sad, as long as I am alive no one could hurt you all.
A loud thunder silenced the men on war outside.
The door suddenly opened and King Xerxon's brother, Perin comes in.
Perin
My, my, my, I am really lucky today. The remaining blood of the Blood Maple is here. So tell me, Queen Annabel. Who among you should I kill first?
Prince Adonis
Stay away from my mother, you cow!
Perin
Ahahaha, so this little brave man voluntered.
Perin was about to hit his sword but a strong ice arrows hit his shoulder but somehow he managed it.
Queen Annabel
Don't you dare to lay a finger on my son or you will regret it!
Perin
Psssh, actually I was joking. My brother tasked me to find you only Anabel and for your children would be up to me.
Perin
Your husband, is dead.
Princess Marigold
Noooooooo! faaather! 😭
Perin
Don't worry princess, Xerxon will be a good father to all of you if your Mom would agree to marry him.
Prince Adonis
No one is better than my father. ( Adonis' left eye changed color and making Perin to kneel down)
Perin
What's this? Aha! So that's why your father killed easily because he had given to you his left eye.
Someone from behind attacked Anabel with spear then she died. This enraged more Adonis and Marigold.
Prince Adonis
You should not made a Blood Maple Angry, Perin. ( coldly said)
Princess Marigold
People of my kingdom, close your eyes and cover your ears.
Perin
Ha! what would you two children can do to kill me and my men?
Prince Adonis
My father once said, the cruel should be punished and that includes you, Perin.
Adonis and Marigold combined their powers creating a red aura. Perin's nerves are slowly exploding.
Perin
What the! you brats!
Before he could finished his sentence, he was slowly dying as well as his men. And the siblings.
Mr. Edgar
Your majesties!, stop it or you will also die!
Prince Adonis
Don't worry Mr. Edgar, this is for the good of the kingdome and we are born to protect you.
Princess Marigold
Mrs. Edgar, pls. take care of our little sister. As long as she will be alive no one could sit on the Blood Maple Throne. Our blood made that throne.
Mrs. Sandy Edgar
Princess, I am in grieved seeing the both of you dying but you had given me a duty that I should fulfill.
Mr. Edgar
We, Edgar family will protect Princess Adele with oue blood and life.
A loud explosion killed Perin and his men together with the believed remaining blood line.
Xerxon's Curse
Perceival
Brother, the remaining Blood Maple was killed by Perin but he also died.
King Xerxon
Also the queen?
King Xerxon
I told him not to hurt the queen but he is stubborn, he deserved to die.
King Xerxon
So tell me, brother Percy. Why I can't even go to that throne? Even if I had killed all of them?
Perceival
I don't know, my king.
King Xerxon flashed the lineage of the Blood Maple. It turns out that the Blood Maple had a remaining heir, the last princess, Adele.
Perceival
It can't be, I had seen the baby's dress with blood on it.
King Xerxon
How about the royal's locket have you found it?
Perceival
Forgive me, my king.
King Xerxon
Brother, find her daughter. I should make her my wife.
King Xerxon is an immortal, he was cursed to remain alive while seeing his love ones dying Infront of his eyes. The only way to stop this curse is to have a child from one of the Blood Maple. The only problem is that he becomes a monster Everytime he's in the presence of this family.
Eowyn
So this is school? I find it more peaceful than anything else in the world. I should enter now.
Niccolo
Hey! Eowyn? Is that you?
Eowyn
Oh! crap! He also studies here? I need to hide.
Niccolo
Eowyn wait for me! Stand right there!
Stacey
Hi Nicco! You also planned to study here?
Stacey is Niccolo's childhood friend but he only sees her as a little sister.
Niccolo
Oh, Hi Stacey.. catch you later. I am chasing an important person.
Niccolo
Nevermind, looks like she's gone already.
Stacey
How about you join me in the orientation room?
Eowyn
Phew! That was a close.. but where am I exactly?
Eowyn found herself in a corner of the school which she was not familiar of. It has a narrow space connecting to the other palace.
Eowyn
Looks like, it is the abandoned castle of the Blood Maple.
Meanwhile inside the palace, Xerxon's temper suddenly raised.
Perceival
Brother, what's the matter? Try to calm yourself.
King Xerxon
Perceival! Help me! the Heir is here! Near to me.
King Xerxon
(Growls) Perceival! She's in the palace.
The Guards roamed around.
Eowyn gotta scared of the guards so she hide one of the walls.
Eowyn
Goodness! Nicco you frightened me!
Niccolo
What are doing here? Do you know that this passage is for the staffs and palace members? Students are not allowed here.
Eowyn
Sorry, I got lost my way looking at the map.
Niccolo
Oh, Eowyn this is Stacey my childhood friend, Stacey this is Eowyn, the daughter of Mrs. Edgar my nanny before.
Stacey
☺️ Hi Eowyn nice to meet you.
Eowyn
Uh, Hello Stacey, nice to meet you too. Lady Stacey. My bad.
Stacey
It's okay, Eowyn no need to be formal since it's just close friends.
Niccolo
Orientation will start any minute let's go
In the middle of their orientation, Stacey opened up something to them to ease the sleepiness.
Stacey
I heard from the maids that King Xerxon had transformed a while ago.
Eowyn
Why would he transform?
Stacey
The cause it's not known yet but some speculated that it has something to do with his curse.
Eowyn
Oh, I haven't heard of that curse.
Eowyn
Would you mind share it to me?
Stacey
King Xerxon was cursed to be an immortal for the rest of his life.
Eowyn
Why? That sounds harsh .
Stacey
Some people said that because he was a merciless man and killed a lot of innocent so the gods punished him to live forever in this world.
Eowyn
Hmm, that sounds lonely.
Stacey
Yeah and the only way to stop the curse was he will have a child from a Blood Maple family.
Eowyn
And how would he find one that the legendary family was wiped out by him?
Stacey
Yeah, that's what legend says. That's why he's gotten mad for the rest of his life.
Stacey
But I don't know why he became our King so far.
Eowyn
Yeah, it is really a great question why is he still the king even though the people hated him.
Niccolo
Both of you will regret why you didn't listen.
Freshmen Welcome Party
One Friday evening, Eowyn was doing her laundry when she met Stacey.
Eowyn
Oh, hi Stacey. You seemed blank minded. What's up?
Stacey
Uhm, I'm a bit nervous and excited about the freshmen welcome party.
Eowyn
Wait, what? I haven't heard of that.. when did it was announced?
Stacey
Hahaha, Nicco was right you never listened that day. 😆
Eowyn
My bad, so is it necessary that we should go there?
Stacey
Of course! Our dorm prefect will check our attendance and also we will be noticed by our seniors. Isn't it amazing?
Eowyn
Hmmm, do you plan to enter the student council?
Stacey
Well, kinda. That's why I need exposure heheh.
Eowyn
Okay great! I'll support you.
Stacey
Wow.. really? Thanks a lot, Eowyn.
Stacey
So, who will be your partner tonight?
Eowyn
Uh, is it necessary to have one?
Stacey
Yup and you need to choose from one of the freshmen or the seniors.
Eowyn
Hmmm, I haven't thought about it? Do you have?
Stacey
Well, I was hoping if Nicco will ask me. Can you help me about this matter?
Eowyn
I.... I think I can?
Stacey
I had liked Nicco since childhood. I'm sometimes afraid that you'll stole him from me, Eowyn.
Eowyn
That's absurd! Niccolo is just like a little brother that I never had, Stacey. That's it nothing more.
Eowyn
My mom had a miscarriage once, it was a baby boy. Then here comes Nicco, he said that he can be my brother that I never had.
Stacey
How about I'll call my brother to escort you? He's a gentleman you know.
Stacey
But a bit straight forward person.
Eowyn
Ehheeh.. sure I love people like that.
Eowyn waited for Niccolo after their game practice outside the court.
Larry
Woah, there is a cute lady outside of the court. Who could that be? Maybe he'll confess to me.
Niccolo
Bahahahah in your dreams, Larry. That woman hates men like you.
Larry
Ouch! So do you know her?
Eowyn saw him and waves at him with a smile.
Larry
Ah.. what a charming woman. I like her! Can you introduce me to her, Niccolo?
Eowyn
Nicco, I have something to tell you.
Eowyn
To be honest, Stacey likes you. She wants you to escort her tonight for the freshmen welcome party.
Niccolo
But I thought, you wanted me?
Eowyn
Nicco, you've always misunderstood me. Niccolo, you are my brother not by blood but by heart.
Eowyn
And I only wanted the best for you, dear brother? So grab the opportunity 😉
Niccolo
If you wish, so who's your escort?
Eowyn
I don't know, Stacey said she would ask her brother. Do you know him?
Eowyn
Don't know either, anyways.. I'll be going. Don't forget!
Stacey is sitting on the bench shyly. She wants Niccolo to notice her
Niccolo
Uhm, Stacey? Do you have an escort tonight?
Stacey
Well, I haven't. Why?
Niccolo
May I be your escort tonight?
Stacey
Oh, uhm, well I'd love to.
Niccolo
Then I'll pick you up with Eowyn tonight.
Niccolo
So, who among your brothers do you recommend for my sis?
Stacey
Well, I had shown Eowyn their pics and he preferred, Duffy.
Niccolo
Ha?! Is she out her mind?
Stacey
I don't know with her, she said she liked Duffy.
Niccolo
Duffy is the least popular of them.
Stacey
Ahm, I didn't know either. How about we ask her together. Shall we?
Niccolo
Hey! Eowyn,do you know who is Duffy?
Eowyn
Uhm, yeah. Doffenshmirtz.
Niccolo
Among all his brothers why he?
Eowyn
Don't question my choices, Nicco. I don't want to have enemies in this school.
Niccolo
I see. Anyways your right, although Duffy is not that popular but he is a real gentleman among all the seniors.
Eowyn punched Nico's head.
Niccolo
Ouch! What's that for? It Hurts you know!
Eowyn
Hmmpf!, that's for bad mouthing my escort.
Niccolo
Ouch! Hey! and what?
Stacey
For underestimating my Brother! See you tonight! Niccolo.
Night came, the ladies are all fascinated by the seniors on asking them to be their escorts.
Niccolo
Ehem! Stacey I'm here.
Stacey
Oh! Great! Let's wait first for my brother.
Eowyn
Stacey, I'm... I butterflies in my stomach.
Stacey
Hahaha, you look like your excited for Duffy.
Eowyn
It is not that, it is just. Should I say this?
Eowyn
Actually, while I was on my way to this school. I happened to saw Doffenshmirtz being bullied but he didn't dared to fight back. So, I used my magic to scare those bullies and for Doffenshmirtz, I accidentally punched his face because I thought he will took advantage on me. I hope he won't notice that it was me.
Stacey
My! my, Well let's find out. What do you say Duffy?
Doffenshmirtz
Oh, I'm sorry Lady Eowyn. I should have spoken first before I grabbed your hand. My apologies.
Eowyn
Eh, uhm, Well I am also sorry I did that to you. I was being very cautious that time.
Doffenshmirtz
So, to make it up. May I be your escort?
Eowyn
Oh, yeah. Sure that won't be a problem.
Eowyn was blushing while Doffenshmirtz hold her hands
Stacey
Alright Let's go everyone.
On their way to the party, Duffy becomes so silent.
Doffenshmirtz
Are you really sure you wanted me to escort you? I'm not that popular like my other brothers and Stacey.
Eowyn
(smiles) I don't like limelight Mr. Doffenshmirtz. I just want to enjoy the night like a normal lady in my age besides, I love to hangout with you sometime.
Doffenshmirtz
(Blush) Well, if you said so. You can call me Duffy.
Niccolo
Hey ! why are you both blushing? This is not fair.
Stacey
Oh, what a lovely couple.
