-The Restricted Room-
The sound of heavy footsteps fills the halls. A girl with shoulder length, brown hair, and dark green eyes walks down the empty hall. She heads towards the kings room. Once at the end of the hall she carefully pushes open the doors to the room. Guards quickly jump out in shock.
"Stand down men," The kind spoke. He stands from his desk and walks towards the doors. He stands tall. Maybe around 6'3. He has white hair and dark green eyes. The girl walks further in and faces her father. "Lydia, thank you for coming." He smiles.
"I was told you needed me for something." He stops right in front of Lydia.
"Yes, I need you to go help Link in the library please. He is looking for a certain book and asked for help. I realized that since you're exceeding in all of your trainings that you could skip a day and help." Lydia nods.
"Of course, father." She nods one more time and starts walking away down the hall.
"Lydia," The king says to her from the open doorway. She turns to look at him. "you know the rules of the library." She nods.
"Yes, father." She turns and walks down the stair case at the end of the hall. The walls shake when the doors of the room shut. She makes it to the second floor and walks next to beautiful murals on the walls. She reached 2 large doors that go all the way up to the ceiling of the second floor. She knocks on the doors and they open a minute later. A younger looking person with ginger hair, blue eyes, and freckles opens the door.
"Princess Lydia," He looks shocked.
"Please just call me Lydia. No need to address me so formally." A smile grows on his face.
"Okay, than, Lydia." Lydia smirks. "Oh yeah yeah come in!" Link moves to the side. She nods and walks in. He shuts the door behind her. She walks further into the library and stops in the middle on the open floor. He runs up next to her.
"I heard you need help looking for a book, what book are we looking for?"
"It's a book on the history of this kingdom. I know they have one, I just cant find it."
"Well then lets start looking." They look at each other and smirk. They both look away and walk into the rows of books. "So, Link. If you dont mind me asking, how old are you?"
"Well, I'm actually the same age as you, 18."
"Thats cool. I always thought you were younger than me." She looks over to a random door on the opposite side of the library.
"I get that a lot. I have a baby face." He giggles. Lydia doesn't respond so he looks around the corner of the bookshelf. "Lydia?" He sees her walking to the door. "Where are you going?" He runs up to be next to her. She stops once she's at the door. They both look at the door.
"What do you think is back there?" He looks at her confused.
"I'm not sure but isn't this room restricted?"
"Yep," She nods and places her hand on the nob. She takes a deep breath and twist the door nob. It's unlocked. "Thats shocking."
"You think it would be locked if it was restricted."
"Yeah." She pushes the door open and it reveals a small room with a desks, and books. Lydia and Link walk into the room one right after the other. Link closes the door behind him so no one would get suspicious. He turns around and both of them start looking around the room. Lydia goes over to one of the desks. It has a paper on it. "Hey Link, come look at this." He turns around and walks toward Lydia.
"What is it?" He stops right next her her and looks at the paper. "What does it say?" The paper is headed with the words The Finest Hour. Lydia scans the paper. Her eyes widen in fear. "What?"
"'On August 25, 2054, world destruction will occur. Smoke will fill the airs, all kingdoms will burn, forest will be gone.'" Link and Lydia look to each other.
"Isn't that... Next month?"
"Yeah. I don't get it. Why would they want to destroy the world."
"You know what? I think I saw the other kingdoms rulers all meet here one day. I didn't know what was happening so I didn't say anything but now I know what I saw." Lydia looks back at the paper.
"We need to stop this." She stuffs the paper down the back of her dress then lowers her hair down over it.
"But how?"
"We'll find away" They look at each other again both with fear in their eyes.
