Month: November 2013

“Uhm, Sharil? Isn’t it time to go back to my palace? We need food. I can’t stand it any longer!!! Argh!” Captain cried in frustration. Sharil shot him a dirty look.
“Just what are you thinking? We’ll be caught! Hear that? They’re coming this way! Run out there!” Sharil pointed at Darcgoldy’s garden.
“What about you?” Captain asked with his eyes staring back at her filled with worry.
Sharil smiled slightly, “I don’t know. If I can follow fast enough then I’ll be back alive. I really don’t know. Now go!”
Captain dashed out with almost inhuman speed. Captain ran with tears unknowingly sliding from his eyes. He looked back just once. And there was guards crowding over Sharil. He kept running, and the next thing he heard was a loud shout and there was clanging and a girly scream. Captain didn’t dare to look. He climbed over the wall of bushes. He sat on it for a second breathed in, and jumped off, and took off for his palace.

Captain propped his head up with his hand. His brain flashed out memories from the previous night. It was all his fault and he knew it. ‘Have I developed feelings for the athletic girl? Why don’t I know the answer to that? Ugh. ARGH.’ He sat back on his chair and sighed again.

A month passed and Captain still didn’t know if Sharil turned out alive. She better be alive. Captain looked out the window. Snow had just begun to fall, but he felt no excitement. In his younger years, he would run and jump about over snow. Snow meant Christmas. Christmas meant… Captain couldn’t think about anything straight without relating it to Sharil.

From then on, waiting seemed like forever. He still haven’t gotten anything about Sharil in days. Those days turned into weeks, and those weeks turned into months.2 months later… “Your Majesty, the queen has news about Sharil.” Captain’s butler said.
Captain jumped up. “What?! I’m coming immediately!”
Captain dashed down the stairs and found his mother and sat down beside her. The Queen looked very shaken. “What? What does it say? What happened?”
“I’m sorry. Sharil… She’s gone… The funeral… February 17th… I’m so sorry…” The Queen broke down. And so did Captain. And the two wept the rest of the afternoon.

It was a dark and cool night. No one was out except Captain. His neon hair flew about around his head. Captain was remembering all the things at last. He went into his room and turned the gramophone on. The last melodies filled the room. He knew there was no reason anymore. He went to bed, and he knew that the next morning Darcgoldy will come to the palace to hunt him down.

The next morning when his butler went to wake Captain, he heard the gramophone. He opened the door. The gramophone was on, the windows were open, the fancy clothes from Captain’s closet were taken, and nobody was in bed. His butler fled down the grand staircase and burst into the breakfast hall. “Your Majesty! Captain-!”
Captain was in his purple cloak and his white and gold suit. He looked dangerous, he was holding his silver and sapphire sword at his butler’s throat. “Say another word and say hello to the sword. Now, dear family. You may think I’ve gone insane but, my life is worthless without Sharil, you know. I’ve come out of my shell to late. It was my fault. You don’t need to know. Get away from this place. Darcgoldy is coming here to hunt me down because he wants all of my men. Now get in the carriages! Go now!” Captain gave a faint smile.

YOLO! I’m thinking of ending The Gramophone soon. Eh. I don’t even know anymore. Anyways, I’m gonna go. So, adieu~!

Captain rubbed his head, feeling annoyed. Everything was wrong this morning; Ray caught a cold, his other servants spilled his breakfast on his nightgown, his butler was not on his top form, and his mother was in a foul mood from a argument with his father. It was the weekend, and everything was wrong. After he sent Sharil off that day, he hadn’t heard from her. He felt… lonely. It was a feeling that he hadn’t felt in a long while. ‘What am I thinking? Just a girl that I underestimated. COME ON! Captain, pull yourself together you have no time to think about women. ARGH!’ He shook his head.
“Your Majesty! Lady Sharil has arrived with news!” His butler called from down the grand staircase. ‘Great…’

“Welcome back, m’lady!” Captain bowed down low. Sharil smiled. She was dressed like a lady, and her remaining hair into a loose bun. Captain straightened up, smiled like a angel and his butler spoke,”Would you like to speak with the majesty in his office?”
“Yes please. Would you kindly lead me?”
“Yes, m’lady. This way.”

“Any news, Lady?” Captain asked, returning to his serious state. “Surprisingly, no. But, a member on my team has discovered something. It’s all in this file.” Sharil said, waving a cerulean folder that suddenly appeared in her hand. Captain reached out and took the folder from her slender fingers. He flipped it open and read it’s contents.
Mysterious shadows at night; extra help from others?
Saw a candle lighted up in basement.
Dripping sound?
Steps heard loudly from hallway, clanging sound too.Captain skimmed the rest of the page. “What’s with the word mysterious? There’s a lot in this.”
“Well, he’s not the best at describing. I know by seeing his writing records. Heh.”
“Good job. I want your group and you to go back in there to figure out some more.”
“My group? Nah. They’re long gone. They were found out, and executed. I got away, unnoticed. the one with the bad writing marks, gave me the folder before he went to have dinner at the next town. I’m the only one now.”
“WHAT?! Oh… I’m terribly sorry… If you want to go… Actually, I’ll go with you this time. We’ll stick together this time. And I won’t be found out because, no one disobeys me.”

Fourteen days later…
“What..!? That bastard..! Thinking me like that..!”
“Hush, Captain… We must not get angered this easily! We will be found out! Keep quiet! Only use the signs I showed you. Know move!”
‘This is going to be hard…’

“You have to finish what you start.”~Grandfather of Captain

Hello! I was bored so I added the random made up quote. My mom told me that one. XD Bye!

Dear Prince Captain,
I have a proposal, no, actually, something higher than a proposal. It’s something I want you to cooperate with to expand my company. Or else I will betray the country. How do I betray the kingdom? Well, I go to another country tell them something horrible and unthinkable to your supposedly genius mind, and declare war on you. Better safe than sorry.

Anyways, people say my company is a cheater and illegal. However, I don’t see it. All I ask is get 2000 of your men over to my company to work for me. You don’t need all that men.  I need exactly that amount. I’ll be counting them when I get them. I get what I want, your kingdom is unharmed. What do you think? Send a letter back for your answer. If I don’t get the letter by Yursterday, I will come to hunt you down.

Your Loyal Server,
Lord Darcgoldy

Back at their time…
Captain’s heart raced as his horse ran towards the large group that were known as his enemies. His long neon-pink hair flew up and about around his head. All of a sudden, he heard a crash of glass splattering on one of the buildings around the war. He breathed in, and smelled a flowery scent and seconds later, he felt feverish, and nauseous. His breaths were shorter, and faster. After fifteen minutes of the bad feeling, his movements were slower, and 10 seconds later, he was slashed with a spear in the side. He yelped and fell off his horse.

“Hah… Ouch! My side! Why is everything… spinning?” Captain imagined that he was lying on bunches of clouds. He forced himself to open his eyes, and he blinked to get used his surroundings. “Your Majesty, you have a bad case of Self-lostblackout. Self-lostblackout is when you feel sick, and you get weaker and weaker, until, your heart gets weak too, and then you die.” Captain swirled his head around and faced the Royal Family Doctor; Jeremy. “Doctor, how did you figure it out?” Captain asked, and coughed roughly. “*Sigh* Well, the first discovery was a chemical, and it was hidden in a large bottle taken by the Shottonians. The second would be… well, it is a leaf that emits a terrible smell that makes the chemical, but that’s only found in Crimsonfireplace.” The doctor adjusted his glasses.
“Well, doctor, I did hear a glass shatter. And I breathed in a flowery scent afterwards. What do you think?”
“Your Majesty, I’m clear. It all fits. The glass shattering was that ancient bottle of the terrible disease. I’m sorry, but, the only cure is a piece of a monkey’s brain. The brain stem preferably.”
“Oh dear. Oh me, oh my. The brain stem of a monkey? Are you serious? As in the cure is to… eat… the… BRAIN STEM OF A MONKEY?” Captain burst out, turning green at the thought.
“But you’re in luck. And there is a bad part. Lucky you: No monkey lives here. Unlucky you: Then you die. So, I’ll get a fresh brain of a monkey shipped over here, and cut off the stem for you and I shall cook it as the needed medicine for you. Sound good?” The doctor silently prayed that Captain would say ‘yes’. “Humph. Fine. What are the other ingredients?”
“Your Majesty, the other ingredients are, let’s see: frog legs and chicken buttocks to make it taste better, salt, and most of the normal ingredients. Nothing to worry about. I mean it.” The doctor informed young Captain. Captain sighed in relief.
“What you need now is some rest as we put medicine on your wound. Now, drift off.”
In no time, Captain was sleeping like he never had before. When he woke up, the monkey brain was shipped, and made especially for him.

In three days time, Captain was up, and slashing his way through the enemies.
By the beginning of the next week, the Shottonians sent a letter that said that their kingdom surrenders. They can not conquer their land because they are too strong. They sent a paper that had all the information and they had a stamp of approval.
Once again in peace, Captain called for Sharil to report. She arrived almost immediately. “Your Majesty, there is nothing to report on. The war is over, what else do you want?” Sharil asked.
“Sharil,” Captain crossed his fingers,” I want you to spy on your father for me. I want to know why he is plotting against me, and what is he thinking of. Will you do it for me?”
“What?! Did you lose your sanity?! My father has nothing against you. What makes you think that?”
“My dear, you’re father sent a VERY OFFENSIVE, THREATENING letter to the royal family yesterday. Would you like to see it?”
“Yes, now.” Sharil said, trying to keep her cool.
“Ray! Lord Darcgoldy files. Thank you.”

“What?! I don’t… BELIEVE THIS! Why would my father do such a terrible thing to his own country? I… Yes, sir! I’ll do it! Do I need a group?” Sharil was disgusted.
“No, you don’t need a group, it’ll be too crowded, UNLESS, you’ll be splitting up, and then meeting up at night. That will be all. See you, m’lady.” Captain smirked.

Hello! I was working on this for a week. BECAUSE, I was busy with guests abd going to friends’ houses for Halloween or some other random reason. Like today someone is coming over, so I’m like, why not finish this, I have time. So, yeah. Adieu~!
