Queen Mejta flicked her wrist and the next thing Xejn knew he was in a prison cell. He woke up Narja as soon as he woke up.

“Narja!” He whispered 

“What?” Narja answered 

“Where are we?”

“As if I should know! And who is crying?” Narja asked. Xejn looked around and he heard it to. Then they saw it. A man with green skin and big green wings was curled up in the corner softly crying to himself. Xejn approached him. 

“H-hello? I’m Xejn!” 

“Mik langik drowbsk libowsiki laghubarnishalungtarmia!” He cried 

“Um… okay.” Xejn said. Then Narja came over with her I-know-this face 

“Mimi loginshotimiktal Narja  imilkhgtibrashikngaar ofindaarktiimb!” She said to him 

“You understand him?” Xejn asked

“Yep he speaks goblin, I am a w-a-aait. That’s why you sound so familiar!” She said coming to a realization, “are you Layvin Xi?”. The goblin boy looked up.

“Narja?” 

“I TOLD YOU I’M NARJA YOU DIMWIT!” Narja shouted slapping Layvin in the arm. 

“OW OKAY I’M SORRY!” Layvin shouted back 

“GUYS QUIT IT AND QUIET DOWN!” Xejn whispered “wait how did you tell him who you are already?”  Narja sighed 

“Mimi loginshotimiktal Narja  imilkhgtibrashikngaar ofindaarktiimb. Means: ‘My Name is Narja, it is ever so nice to meet you.” Narja sighed “But Layvin I haven’t seen you in years! You surely no your way out of this mess, right?” 

Layvin sighed and shook his head “sadly I do not.” And they all sat in silence for a long time thinking.

Xejn got up and grabbed the bars of the cell 

“If only there was a way to heat up the metal maybe…” he thought out loud. All Xejn could think about was heat, warm, bright, intense heat. Then he felt it. Warm light filling his body and…BAM! The cell bar heated up and began to melt away. Layvin and Narja just starred. Wide mouthed in shock, just starred.

“What. Was. That?” Narja got out somehow. Xejn shrugged.

“I don’t know. But we just got our one way ticket out of this place!” And so they moved stealthily through the castle. It was all smooth sailing from here! Or so they thought. Down in the throne room one of the guards had informed Queen Mejta about the prisoners escape, and now she was waiting for them at the entrance of the palace. She waited, and waited until she saw their small bodies come around the corner and she watched them and saw their faces light up when they saw her. 

“Boo.” She said. 

“Xejn, right now would be a good time to use you’re heat hand thingy!” Narja whispered 

“Oh you  found it and just in time even.”

“Just in time for what?” Xejn asked 

“THE FULL MOON!” Queen Mejta announced grandly, “ on the day of the full moon both of our powers will be at their  highest point, and my powers are much much greater than yours. So I will kill you and take your power!”

“I don’t have ‘powers’” Xejn clarified

“HA! Xejn, Xejn…oh Xejn my child. Yes you can’t move the earth, you can’t create fire from your body, yes you can’t calm the oceans, or be the wind. But those are Gods. Xejn you are a Guardian! The highest ranking in the hierarchy of spirits and gods! Xejn you are Light! You can melt medal, you can comfort and create communities. Light brings people together!… And it will be a perfect addition to me and my power!” 

The moon rose higher and higher into the air and Queen Mejta turned into a big black red eyed raven bubbling with power like a pot about to over flow! 

“RUN!” Layvin shouted. Narja nodded and her and Layvin took cover. But Xejn stayed put the negative voices in his head seemed to clear and he stood tall as a new profound heroism was found in him. he felt as if he could take on this raven (even though he had no experience fighting anything). And it happened. He began to glow. Light was pouring all over him and it began to flow like pixie dust, pouring out from his hair and out from his fingers. And as the raven came in for an attack. Xejn held his hand out and gently touched the raven on the forehead. And the raven; Queen Mejta, like slow motion turned into triangles of golden light. And she was gone.  

And Xejn turned back into Xejn, he looked at his hands shocked by what he did still not believing it.

“Yeah!” Layvin cheered “that queen was one bad lady!” 

And all of the friends cheered.

“Let’s go home!” Xejn giggled . And no one could argue with that. So home they went, though the glowing fish pond, passed the Forest of fireflies and it looked spectacular in the night! And  They went back home where Xejn would now join in the important meetings and go on trips with his family. And with Narja and Layvin, they’d venture to Post Kiesah and back. Reintroducing life and color to there. Creating homes  for both people and animals. And one day many years from now Xejn had a family of his own to share adventures and memories, and the new kingdom Post Shun.
