The Sealed Princess of Five Fates
I yell down to the visitors from my throne, "Ah, visitors! What perfect timing!" I then rise from my throne, bound down the stairs like a deer in spring, and land at the bottom of the stairs, my hands resting on my hips. The invaders, looking uneasy, no doubt due to my movements, hold up their weapons in front of them. They're around a few yards from where I'm standing and look like they might advance soon.
I simply clap and give them a curtsy. "Hello there, charming invaders," I say. "Would you perhaps like to join me and my commanders for dinner. It really be no intrusion. Well, not any more than has already been at least." I smile at their confused faces. Even Skelp, who's standing right beside me looks at me and then the intruders multiple times, looking puzzled.
The three baffled people all turn their backs to me and start whispering to eachother. Suddenly the man in the barrel runs over to me, dropping his axe in the process. Once he gets within arms length Skelp puts up his hands in a fighting motion, but I reach my arm out, motioning him to be at ease.
"We would love to join you for dinner," the barrel man says. "Fact is, we've had nothing to eat today and we are famished. Now the other two," he motions to his other companions who were glaring harshly at him. "They are a bit strange, but would love to eat. And don't worry about them, they won't attack you or nothing, as long as you don't hurt me of course. Hur hur."
