It all started about a year ago when the princess Heart Locket was lost, she was out playing in the woods with her best friend when she realized her locket was gone. Oh no she said what's wrong dare princess said her best friend Dylin the jester, my locket it gone. Oh no princess this could be bad. I know said princess Heaven.

The king and queen gave the princess a beautiful heart shape locket for her 12th birthday. They told her she could never take it off for any reason, the princess promises she wouldn't. Once the Kind found out she lost the locket he sent out a search team to find the locket but it was never found years went by yet the Locket was never found.

Princess Heaven was in her garden with her best friend Dylin the jester. The jester was the princess only friend; As the jester made the princess laugh by telling her jokes and doing silly tricks, they heard a strange sound in the woods behind the castle. What was that? Ask princess Heaven to her jester I don’t know princess we should go inside now he said. Come on let check it out she said as she walked towered the woods, you sure asked Dylin, yes come on we won't be long she said. As they got closer to the sound the louder it got, wow what is that Heaven said with her eyes widen and her jaws dropped. I don’t know but we shouldn’t get to close said Dylin. Ok as the two turned to return to the castle someone or something called out to the princess. She stopped did you hear that? Yes, but it wasn’t me said Dylin if it wasn’t you then who was it? I don’t know but let's go.

Heaven, it called again this time it was a small man standing outside the portal where did you come from? I'm Omari I come from the world of Rains, a world like no other; why are you here ask Dylin? I need help from the princess. How did you know I was a princess asked Heaven? Well, I'm a wizard and I’ve been watching you since you were born. Why asks princess? Because you are the chosen one. Heaven was puzzled, chosen for what? If you come with me, I can explain more she looked at Dylin he looked at her they both nodded and jumped into the portal with Omari. He explains to them how the human world would soon be over if they didn’t get the Locket of Peace back from his brother Orion.

The locket of Peace is a one-of-a-kind Locket, Its very beautiful. He said it’s the shape of a heart shiny and black covered in purple diamonds. Hey that’s mind, it was giving to me by my father and mother. I was told to never take it off but over a year ago I lost it playing in the woods but I could never find it. Sorry princess it was staling by my brother, and he had it ever since. I want it back cried Princess its mind as tears felled down her face Oh my dear Heaven, we will get it back said Dylin as he hugged her tight.

There isn't much time left he already pasted through the portal to your world if we don’t stop him, it will be the end. What will he use it for? See princess your Locket is rear and special it holds a magical power the keep the worlds in peace. But my brother can and he will reverse it so that it will bring an apocalypse to the world. We can't let it happen said Heaven and we won't said Dylin, how do we stop him you must return to your world and steal it back. Once the locket is back in your hand's thing will return to normal and he will be basined back to our world where he will be trapped in the dungeons forever.

Here take this you will need it for the locket. It’s a staff once you have the Locket in your hand place it on the end of the staff and wave it in the air but you must say these words. “From Beginning of time to end of day may peace be with us to wash evil away”. How do I find him asked princess? Let see, oh no my, my, my, I'm afraid the apocalypse have already started he is stronger than I thought. He has summoned the dragons of fire, and the giants of ferry. He has released all evil on the human world, he must be stopped. This will not be easy so ill sent two of my warriors to protect you, Hector and Michael they are very strong and fast they will meet you at the portal. Also drink this when you are back in your world, it will turn you both in to warriors.

Good luck princess and sir Dylin said Omari as they enter the portal to their world. Once they returned to their world there were two very huge giants with large wings and huge staffs. You must be Hector and Michael sent by Omari, yes and you must be the little prince said Hector. Princess we must drink this blue stuff Omari gave us, right here we go, they both drink the blue liquid and passed out. Hey guy nap time is over time to fight said Michael, as Heaven and Dylin rubbed their eyes and head they looked at each other and screamed. Princess is that you, yeah Dylin is that you, yes he replied. What happened? Um you drink the warrior blood now your warriors said Hector here pick up your weapons and let's go said Michael.

Princess you have the bow and arrow of the Goddess. She was once the leader of the giant army you now have her powers. Dylin, you have the guns of the great king who is now a God so he no longer needs these. Wow this is cool said princess. On our backs said Hector time to stop this wizard and his monster. To Heaven surprise they didn’t have to go far Orion has taking the kingdom over it was now guarded but giants and dragons', fires were started everywhere people were crying, running, and scream, all was lost. This is so unreal never would I imagine the world to be like this said Heaven, this is what happens when the wrong person or should I say wizard is in charge said Dylin. Time to get the Locket back into the right hands said Michael.

Michael and Hector flew to the top of the castle, ok warriors time to fight Dylin and princess you two head inside to the king's court to Orion and we will take care of the beast said Hector. Kill anything that is not human said Michael. Ok let's go Dylin said princess, we stick together and fight side by side princess said Dylin. The two made their way from the castle roof to the king's court, as they walked the halls of the castles, they seen that some of the house maids and guards were dead. Once they reached the court yard it was surround by monster guards, we can do this we have to stop this apocalypse before I lost my mother and father forever said Heaven. I won't let that happen said Dylin thank you, smiled the princess.

As they ran out in to the Kings court yard they could see the king and queen tied together next to Orion who was setting in the kings' chair. Though the king and queen did not recognize them they were happy help was there. Killed them yelled the wizard Orion as he stood up and pointed at the two. They drawled their weapons and the fight was on. Back-to-back they fought, while they were on ground Hector and Michael were slaying the dragons and the giants. The fight was fierce, yet they had no plane how they were going to get the Locket from Orion who now have the Locket attached to his staff.

We have to get his staff said Heaven but how said Dylin we need to split up said princess no I will not let you out my sight princess said Dylin. It’s the only way to get the locket I will free my parents and they can help you fight, ok on three you go that way and I'll go this way one, two, three they ran in different directions. Get them you bums called Orion; you're going to let him call you bums called Dylin to the giants the giants stopped in confusing. Dylin had the giant right where he wanted them with one shot of his gun, he took out two of them. Don’t listen to him, your nothing but brainless puppets called Orion with anger, wow and you call him master again the giants were confused which open up time for Heaven to free her parents and get them to a save place with weapons.

Once all the dragons were gone Hector and Michael flew to the kings court yard to help Heaven and Dylin get the Locket of peace. You humans think you can defeat me try again Orion took his staff reach to the sky and a lightning bolt hit the Locket causing him to grow in size plus he now has wings. I'm a wizard you fool you can’t stop me your world is over as he flew to the skies, he called on more dragons from the dungeons of world Rains. All man he just doesn’t quit does he, said Hector here we go said Michael as they flew to the skies.

By now princess Heaven had already went to the top of the castle where she has an eye on Orion's staff. She took out her bow and arrow and aimed for his hand, if I can hit his had with an arrow he will drop the staff, she thought to herself well here goes nothing. Pulling back as much as she could swish the arrow went flying it was going so fast it caught fire. Hitting Orion hand, he drops the staff with a blind of an eye Hector caught the staff and removed the Locket. Heading for Heaven he was hit with a blast from one of Orion's dragons. But not far behind Michael caught the Locket and got it to the Heaven just in time.

Heaven than pulled out the staff and place the locket on it. While waving the staff with the locket on the end in the air she sighted the words Omari told her “From Beginning of time to end of day may peace be with us to wash evil away”. A bright purple beam of light shot out the staff into the dark clouds clearing up the blood red sky and the dark clouds. No! how can this be called Orion as he started to deteriorate into the unknow followed by the dragons, giants and everything he unleashed.

The apocalypse was coming to an end but was not over, it will take time to restart the world from the devastation. As Princess Heaven came down from the roof top, she walked over to her parents who still did not recognize her by looks but the sound of her voice made them see who she was. The Locket you found it cried the King, yes father. But how could this be asking the queen; I will explain everything said Heaven. As Omari appeared from a portal, he gave Heaven and Dylin a little bottle and said drink this. Within seconds they were back to normal. Keep that Locket safe Princess, Said Omari walking into the portal with Hector and Michael behind him.
