//------------------------------// // Chapter 8 // Story: Princess Malia // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// The next morning, Princess Malia goes off to a meeting with the dignitaries of another neighboring kingdom made up of hippogriffs called Hippogriffia. A few minutes later, she lands in Hippogriffia, where she is greeted by its king, King Hexton the Great Griff and his bride to be, Princess Melody the Meek Griff. "So," says King Hexton the Great Griff, "are you prepared to host the Three Kingdom Ball this year?" "Of course," replies the Princess. "Personally, I'm excited." "Then there's the question of your brother," says King Hexton, "should we let him and his unruly behavior come to the Three Kingdom Ball?" "I don't think we should, I love him, but he's already stepped out of hand," replies Princess Malia. The three then begin to talk food and flowers and cookies. They talk about everything for hours before Malia finally returns home to tend to her hatchlings. She is glad that she gets to host the Three Kingdom Ball this year. After all, it's always been her dream and now it's finally going to be a reality. She can't help but be giddy.
