Miranda woke up with a start. "That same dream again?" She turned to only get startled even more at the sight of her brother Mark. 

"Yeah." she replied, "Worse than last time though."

"I can tell. You've been muttering in your sleep about war and you're sweating more than usual." he replied. The bother, Mark, had short, spiky blue hair while she had long, wavy red hair. 

"Do you remember anything from before we were eight?" Miranda asked.

"Not yet. I hope that we will though." He turned "Oh, and Sam wants to see us on the roof."

"What?" She asked, "Why for?"

"She couldn't tell us that much." he replied. She thought to herself 'I wonder if we can get out of this fortress' . Then they were off. Off to see their sister Sam, Crown Princess Of Zucrandar. Caring as could be, she is strict the sternest captain of the ship. Sighing, The twins push the door open to find their sister waiting for them.

"Well, if it isn't my favorite twin siblings," she exclaimed, "I have great news! Father has given you a chance to get out of the castle to be the captains of a mission!"

"When do we go?" Mark inquires.

"High noon," Sam replies. She makes her way towards her wyvern. "Come on, get on her!" She says. The two get on and the wyvern takes off into the sky. 'So this is what it's like to be in the sky' Miranda wonders.

In a few short hours, they arrive at the castle. They get off of the wyvern and head towards the throne room. When they get in, they bow to their father, the King Johansmith. He turns to them and says "Go to the fortress of Brickenskoff. Observe and return. Do it right and you will be rewarded"

"Yes father." they replied. They got up and started to leave. 

"But," the king said, "I'll give Mark the Kupen and Miranda the Dulband." 

"Thank you father," they said in unison.

The two left to go on their mission, accompanied by their retainers. Mark's retainers are Stewart, a knight who is overprotective, and Michelle, the daughter of the Water Tribe's Chieftain, whose attitude is that of boiling water. And Miranda's retainers are Cole, brother of Stewart, and is a dark mage that has an attitude as dark as his magic, and Kaitlyn, the daughter of a noble who is in debt to the king, and is good with the bow. As they approach the fortress, they are met with unknown people.

"WHO ARE YOU?" one of the men demanded.

"Ummm... We are Prince Mark and Princess Miranda From Zucrandar" Mark attempted.

"And our retainers." Miranda added.

"Zucrandians? Oh, so now the king sends two of his children to us, right on our beloved borders of Xclusia?" the man replied.

"What? Father never mentioned it being on a border. All we were told was to check on it. We did our job so lets go," Mark said.

"I'm afraid I can't let you go do that," the man said, "KILL THEM BOYS!"

"MILORD, MILADY, GET OUT OF HERE!" Cole shouts, "We'll hold them off!"

"Miranda!" Mark shouted, "Let's go!"  

"R-r-right!" Miranda said. They got on their horses and galloped away.
