Donae looks at me and Navi on Shadow and says, "Navi, do you know the story of a Hypacampus named Viccatia?"
"No, sir," Navi replies and looks up at me.
"Why don't you tell us, Donae?" I ask looking at him. "I'm sure you know."
"The Hypacampus named Viccatia," Donae begins.
The story:
A man sits on the beach of the ocean of Evianca, waiting for sundown so he can catch a Hypacampus. He has been doing this repeatedly for ten years but to no avail. Tonight, he felt, would be different.
As the rainbow of colors covered the ocean a beautiful mane began to shine. He stands slowly not wanting to scare the beautiful creature and tries to focus on its shape and color but he cannot pinpoint what color it is because the color of the sunset seems to swirl on it. It slowly makes its way to shore and lays down about five feet from the water.
The man lightly puts his hand to his chest in a sign of respect to the creature before him and steps towards it. He hears it's voice, Approach and you will not be harmed. My name is Viccatia and you are the man whom will have the honor of riding me.
He approaches the Hypacampus and kneels in front of it, "Viccatia, I have waited for a decade to be able to ride one of your kind. Please tell me why it is I had to wait so long?"
"I studied you," Viccatia says, "and I wanted to see the determination and spirit in you. The ten years you spent waiting made me realize that unlike the rest of your kind you have a rare quality. Patience."
The man nods and says, "My name is Nilicas the Second. Pleased to meet you."
"Of course it is a pleasure to meet you as well," Viccatia says standing to look him in the eye. "What is your ranking?"
"I am prince, soon to be king," Nilicas replies smiling.
"You will be a great king. Now please mount and let us seal the bond that connects us."
Nilicas nods and mounts Viccatia, "Take us home, Viccatia."
Viccatia begins a slow canter then starts to speed up into a full gallop. They race through the woods and towards the castle. As they near the castle Viccatia slows to a trot and approaches the gate.
"Halt! None may enter until the prince returns!" The guard barks out and walks up to them.
"I am prince Nilicas the Second and you shall let me and my Hypacampus pass," Nilicas says looking into the man's eyes, noticing the man is not familiar to him. He thought he knew all of the guardsmen.
"You are not our prince," the guard says. "Our prince is Dracome the First and his family rules here now."
Viccatia snaps at the man approaching them and let's out the hunting cry of the wild Hypacampus. Nilicas says in his mind, Calm, Viccatia, we will go to the camp I know they have not gotten to because only I know about it and the men I trusted to be put there.
But sir. He is coming towards us, Viccatia says shifting under him.
Just turn and run I will show you the way, Nilicas pats her neck and she turns and takes off towards the camp he mentioned.
Nilicas holds on for dear life while sending the mental images of the location of the camp to Viccatia.
When they arrive they realize they don't have the army he needed to take back his kingdom. So he decided to wait for one with the same power as he. Then they will be able to take back what was rightfully theirs.
