The
Recovery of the
Black
Crystal of Ishma
At
the castle of Ishma Prince Charles and Willy were on the search for the black
crystal. It was not an easy search because the only clue they had was the black
crystal was hidden in the castle walls. There was no information which castle
wall it was hidden in.
“Why Willy?” said Prince Charles, who
was getting angry, “Why is it difficult to find just one crystal?”
“It’s because your highness there are
hundreds of walls and only one black crystal in the castle” Willy said.
“That was a rhetorical question
idiot!” shouted Prince Charles, he was getting very impatient.
“Pardon me your highness,” said Willy
“but how would we know which wall the crystal is hidden in?”
“Look for a loose brick,” Prince
Charles said “the black crystal would be hidden behind a loose brick. Willy you
search for loose bricks, I’m going to visit my brother and sister in law in the
dungeon”.
So Willy began searching for loose
bricks. He searched the rooms upstairs, then the rooms downstairs, but none of
them held loose bricks. Finally he searched in the castle cellar. The castle
cellar wasn’t exactly a big room; it hadn’t been used for anything much except
for keeping unused items. Mostly empty boxes and empty glass jars and bottles.
Willy began to search for loose bricks, suddenly a brick moved, in the middle
of the back wall. Willy touched the brick again and suddenly it slid to one
side like magic. Willy was amazed! Behind the wall was a hidden flight of
stairs leading to a door. Willy ran to the dungeons to tell Prince Charles what
he had found.
In the dungeons Prince Charles was
talking to Prince Edward and Princess Julia.
“Why are you doing this Charles?”
Prince Edward asked “you are turning your back on your own family. And you will
be making your own home a misery.”
“I’m just taking what I want and
that’s the throne of Ishma” said Prince Charles “I have always lived in your
shadow as the youngest twin. But when I become king you will be in the shadows”.
Just then Willy rushed in and told
Prince Charles about the secret passage he found.
“I think that might be where the
black crystal is” Willy said.
“Good work Willy” said Prince Charles
“now my brother I have got a black crystal to find”. And he left.
“He really is crazy enough to process
the black crystal” said Princess Julia.
“Yes he is,” said Prince Edward “he
is crazy for power just like my ancestor Prince John was”.
“I just hope that Sophie will succeed
of finding the white crystal soon”.
“Of course she will,” said Prince
Edward “Sophie is a smart girl and I know she will not let us down. I trust
her.”
All Prince Edward and Princess Julia could
do now was wait for Sophie to return with the white crystal of Ishma.
Meanwhile Willy showed Prince Charles
the flight of stairs behind the back wall in the cellar. Prince Charles and
Willy went down the stairs and opened the door at the bottom of the stairs. The
door wasn’t locked. Behind the door was a room filled with old magic spell
books and magic items. There was even a portrait of Prince John.
“I reckon this hidden room was where
my ancestor Prince John studied his dark magic” said Prince Charles.
“Your highness look over there!” said
Willy, pointing to a glass container. In the glass container was the black
crystal of Ishma.
“So my ancestor Prince Arthur hid the
crystal in this secret room all the time” said Prince Charles.
He lifted the lid of the glass container
and took out the crystal. As soon as the black crystal was in his hands, dark
magic from the crystal flowed through his body.
“With these dark magic powers I will
rule Ishma in darkness like my ancestor Prince John did” said Prince Charles “and
no one will stop me”. He laughed a very
evil laugh and Willy joined in with him, Willy liked being surrounded by evil
and darkness. Willy was just as evil as Prince Charles.
