Currently, going back to King Angst and the newly dubbed main character, Sir MC (Menstruation Cramps/Main Character)! The MC is holding his injured arm, which appeared with many strange whirls, similar to tattoos, on it.
Sir MC decided to call himself a different name, and this time was quick about it. Francis will be the one, he decided. But he must currently address another problem...
Having followed King Angst into the Kingdom of Pains; having been in a grassy area and walked until the sun cast long shadows, they had reached an area that seemed to have no way up; an impenetrable cliff, right next to a large abyss. Looking down, he saw no end, but there was smell that did not falter. The king said,"That abyss thou sees to the left of the impenetrable cliff, that has no end and yet a beginning, what lies in it?
"I must say, our plumbing system has to lead somewhere. And to put it more simply, the abyss is where the waste of our plumbing system goes. The thing about this abyss, is that on the other end is a purifier, just before the waste can get to the other end of the earth- which happens to be the Alluring Forests, a place that is both beautiful and deadly, of where all who goes shall never return in this lifetime.
"The one who did return was the horse of the traveler, who seemed to be in complete health and is unfortunately alive today."
"Unfortunately?" asked Sir Francis.
"It seems that ol' creature is immortal.
"She causes trouble for everyone, all the days, spilling sacks of barley and wheat, and also things like racing with other horses while their riders are still on their backs, which causes a stampede and we all know what stampedes by horses do", King Angst proclaimed, hand on chin in a thoughtful manner.
"What exactly?" Fran MC was getting tired of the king's confusing conversation that was going to nowhere. At least, that is what he thought until he saw a horse leaping from the top of the cliff into the sky, followed by other horses; some of whom seemed to have wings. "These are pixies, the King proclaimed- as he was body slammed by a boxer.
Falling down and coughing, with the boxer hissing for him to get on with it, the main character decided to follow the horses for they were far more interesting, and abandoned the king to the boxer's harsh punishments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Francis noticed several things as he traveled in leaps with the horses. It was very high, and the breeze could be felt. Two; it was very cold, which was a feeling he had never felt before; and three; the horses were running away from something, which meant he had to more than follow them, he should truly skedaddle. From what, he wasn't sure, but knew that these horse pixies only shied and neighed away from armies of strong, intelligent, and crazy murderers, for chaos was not their habitat, or a place they had any interest in.
They oft were portrayed with a sunflower against them, in an epic battle. One person talked about the moves: Sun-Flo just made an uppercut! IntelDude just countered! Who will win- sort of things, that were usually in caged fights in the Pains Kingdom.

After getting up, he went as soon as possible. A messenger had given him the message that his mother was unattended. That was very worrisome for several reasons; she, though not a clutz, often did things without rational common sense, that could greatly endanger her. She was the Queen of Sighs.

Currently, she was cooking something. That made him so worried that he forgot about the boxer tailing him, and the new main character that had recently escaped his supervision, as well as the pain on his hip.
Traveling along to a certain part of the cliff, he spoke in the language of Grithl, and the mirage of dirt and rock disappeared, with steps upward. After climbing them, he turned left towards a golden gate, regularly cleaned and buffed to a shine. Using a key of iron and intricate squiggly design, he then slashed it through the gate, and it opened, allowing passage to the light beyond the tunnel. He turned quickly, and quickened his pace.
Going through, he opened one door out of many multi-colored ones, and opened one door afterwards in the blue section of the doors, with three in total, and smelled the permeating scent of bread cooking. "Ouch!" He heard a shout, and rushed inside. "I burned my big toe on the oven", his mother complained. It really was turning red, and not looking at all good.
Quickly, he grabbed some mint and ice from a kind pixie, and put it around her foot. "Mother," he said warningly, "What did you do this time?" "Oh, I only burnt my toe on the bottom of the oven, my goodness it was hot, and nothing else", she claimed, though looking at the cooking area said otherwise.
On the left, she had been making pancakes on the stove, while on the right side, she boiled some soup in a pot. Who knows what she made in the oven, but with all three things being done at the same time, it looked ready to cause serious damage. He sighed. "Mother, I'm sure you know that it is never a good idea to make that much stuff at once, or do that sort of multi-tasking." He said while adding more ice and other cool towels on her foot. "This was an accident in the making. It simply isn't done!" "Well, as long as I make sure to have extra caution, I'm sure there'd be no other trouble" she reasoned. Her son sighed, and chided, "I know your father was a great cook, but still! Even HE probably knew better than to cook three things at once in one small area! Come on, I have to watch you every waking hour! You make me so worried!"
"Your majesty." a foot soldier opened the door that led into the kingdom with a bam!.
"The pixies are attacking us!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------meanwhile ------------------------------------------
MC was chillin' as much as someone could with something(?) on his tail- following the horses weren't easy, and especially not with possibly crazy axe murderers on his tail.
So he looked behind himself, and saw that it wasn't axe murderers after him.
No, not as he thought; it was even worse. Hither be the Scythes.
The Scythes- a group of girls who brought other girls in their group through force- by brainwashing them and having them betray their own, as initiation, having started by a founder who was now the ruler of a kingdom opposing the forces of the Kingdom of Pains, that had been nuts enough to declare a truce, and then secretly make illegal agreements with the Tree of Eternal Life - with the Tree having eternal hamburgers- while it would give them immortality- but no one else, and so being immortal was no longer as easily available to the people of the Kingdom of Pains, and the Kingdom of the Scythes now being able to gain immortality whenever they wanted, and then ending the truce by taking 300 men and women of the Pains kingdom- called Painsies- to turn them into Scythes- and then trying to force a truce back onto the Kingdom of Pains (oh, the Painsies, they were getting incredible headaches), was now trying to forcefully unite the kingdoms under one ruler, and take the main character as a captive, for they had heard he was under the protection of the King of the Kingdom of Pains- King Angst.
They decided that if they couldn't get the MC, they would take the nobles captive, and threaten to turn them into Scythes if the King and/or MC didn't comply with their demands. Besides knowing that the Kingdom of Scythes was a brainwashing Kingdom, really, the MC Francis didn't actually know any of the information which I have so revealed to you just now. So, you know more than our unlucky MC! Wink [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/smilies/wink.png]
And so, with the Kingdom of Scythes attacking on two fronts- to the MC and to the Pains Kingdom and Painsies themselves- they were in a serious bind. Until...
