CHAPTER 6: a map of insecurities.
Natalia and her friends were now continuing their search for Aubrey. Now with king avian accompanying them. "Our next stop is in a village. They say the animals there are older than us except for king avian." Said kaitlin. The others nodded in agreement. . "Well then, time shall not be wasted! we must search for Aubrey." Said king Avian as he smiled.
A sea of dark clouds began to rise over the horizon. The group soon began to pick up the pace.... "I see the village over the horizon, we must hurry and find shelter." said king Avian as he began to fly ahead. Natalia and her friends
Soon followed.. they soon started laughing now that the storm began to start over the horizon. only a few steps and they will finally be in the village. "We are almost there. Hurry!" Said kaitlin As she began to laugh even more. Finally ahead of them was the village. The group, now seeing king Avian followed him they were now finally in the village.Their only thing goal now was to find shelter from the rain. "Where do we go? Where do we go to hide from the storm?" Asked Rose. As she began to look at king Avian. The old owl looked at her and smiled.. "there is a house in the village that I used to visit on a daily basis. A friend of mine is in the house. she might know where to find Aubrey." Said king avian as he flew right on ahead. . The group decided that after the storm, they would ask around about Aubrey..While this was going on, they didn't realize that they were being watched by the vulture and his two assistants. ."Heh, look at them, their so lost in this tiny village. it makes me laugh knowing that I driven Natalia's fear of losing Aubrey. All according to plan." Said the vulture as he laughed quietly to himself.  "Master, I hate to ask you a question,  how will her fear in losing Aubrey help in your plans?" Asked his first assistant.  The vulture looked at him and smiled. "Once the pieces fit, then the plan will come together in union." Said the vulture... After he said this, he  began to fly away with his two assistants following right behind him. While he flew away, King avian arrived at the house.. "well, here we are. Now we can-" he soon turned around noticing that the group of young ones didn't follow him. "Huh, that's odd. Oh well, it appears they could've found shelter elsewhere in the village." He soon went into the house.  Once inside he noticed a letter.. he began to read it's contents... " As you listen to  this, know that I'm above the trees gazing down at you, as I roll past you in a steady, but slow pace.. you look up, noticing the small dots of lights that give a sense of beauty to this moonless night, almost as if your in a fairy tale world.  a spark of happiness beings to fill youup. As you see a small falling dot of light, no more tears, no more sadness,  as you see it,. You  Lay your head down on top of a hill of grass and stare at the many small dots of light..  happiness, one aspect that never boasts, one that shines like a star but one still mysterious to many, happiness is a five pointed star that many wish to earn. But like a cloud, our approval of being accepted by others hide it..push past the approval, and embrace your happiness, your loved ones and your family love you.. such things only come through hard work and determination,  so many hearts are broken because of finding such approval. If approval is like a meteorite, then love is a comet, you simply cannot allow  approval by loved ones be a will to live, as that destroys you from the inside out like a dark cloud That blocks a star's light, know that you can shine like A star whose light even though fierce when close, is warm like a fire. Love your friends, enemies, and loved ones, for such things are only here for a short time, many questions eventhough unsolved, have answers that only you, your friends and family can find,  why You ask? Because without questions, adventures would never happen remember, approval isn't won by negativity, it's done through happiness. Cherish these moments my friends, for the night is still young and beautiful in the plain sight of a cloud top that is moving under the stars." After he finished reading the letter.. he noticed a map that leads to his kingdom.. a slight cough was heard. The old owl soon turned around noticing that standing before him was his friend no longer a teen but an adult.. she smiled knowing who it was, "it's been so long king Avian. Where have you been?" Asked the fox...  king avian smiled.. "I had other duties I needed to attend to at my kingdom, It must've been rough not seeing me For so long eh?" Asked king avian as he soon sat down In a chair looking at the dark clouds that rolled over the village.  He then looked at the map that lead to his kingdom and homeland.. "I must ask, why do you have a map to my kingdom?" Asked king avian. The fox looked at him and smiled.. "I wanted to see you again, I recelived word from an owl that your own subjects reject you as king they want your son to rule in your stead." Said the fox.. king avian soon felt his heart go heavy, he remembered what his subjects told him. He soon looked out the window now looking at the pouring rain.. a single tear fell down his face; a somber look soon followed.  "Frances, I'm sorry if I troubled you, I just don't know why they would rather have my son as king when he himself is evil.. i hope and wish that i could make things right there, my granddaughters wish for me to stay king. They love me, but my son doesn't." Said king avian as he covered his face with his feathers. Frances went toward him and wrapped her paw around him.. "I may not know your current situation right now, but I remember what you told me when I was going through. If a problem bothers you, face it don't let your worries get to the best of you." Said Frances. . King Avian looked at her. "How can I be so sure that the problem will go away? I have no one who will stand with me." Said king avian. As he stood up. Frances sighed and looked out the window, she knew she couldn't do anything to help him. She noticed the storm began to pick up pace dark clouds still looming over the village.  before she could say anything, a slight knock was heard.. Frances went toward the door and opened it with her head. She was surprised. "Oh and who are all of you?" Asked Frances.. "we just want shelter from the storm it's getting really bad out here." Said one of the voices...  thunder was soon heard.. which soon scared the young ones..  without hesitation, Frances let them in her house..  "hey, nice map." Said a familiar voice that king avian recognized.. "thanks, I made it myself." Said Frances as she giggled
"Do you know where king avian is? We are looking for him." Said another voice.. Frances smiled.. "he's right over in the living room looking out the window.. he has a a lot of things going on in his thoughts." Said Frances. .
