{Back at the palace...} Lilac was in a cage, being stuck in her animal form. `I'm not becoming a human until I'm Let go.` She'd protest as Karmen stared at her, annoyed. `I'm not letting you go, my mother told me to get one of you to I don't know- Research you I guess.` Karmen said, staring at Lilac and then crossed his arms. `Can't you research a bunny or something?` Lilac responded narrowing her eyes at Karmen. `No..?` Karmen said, beginning to think. Lilac stared at him, and eyed him, `You sure about that Prince?` Karmen stared at her, and then shrugged his shoulders.

`You thought I was dead and didn't even bother to check?` Lilac said narrowing her eyes. `No..` Russet muttered getting up and walking away. Lilac went to forest and laid down next to her. `Cheer up Forest, your not in that much trouble.` `But I'm still in trouble because of that..` Forest said shifting her shoulders.

Forest, Russet, and Roman realize that it had been a couple of hours since Lilac had left. `We have to find Lilac.` said Forest. `No, you have to stay here forest.` Russet said as she had looked down at Forest. `It's dangerous outside for you right now. `No, that's not true!` Forest would yell as she ran off. `Forest-!` Russet yelled after her. Russet's brother, Roman grabbed his sister's shoulder and smiled, `Let her be, she'll come back Russet.` Russet gingerly nodded and then sat down.

As Lilac ran through the forest in her animal form, her fur got caught on some branches, so she stopped to rest, and noticed prince Karmen resting in the grassy clearing, he was clearly mad, so Lilac decides to go closer, she approaches and then accidentally steps on a twig, so prince Karmen turns his head and notices her, and sends brook to chase after her, Brook hesitantly obeys and then ends up catching Lilac, because lilac had got caught on some vines.

Russet walked back over to Lilac and forest. `Also, there was a small war, but queen brook stopped it.` She'd say, staring at Lilac. `There was a WAR!?` Lilac said jumping up, startled. `Yeah, I declared war against the people, but queen brook wouldn't send people to fight, so she technically stopped it.` Russet said, not caring and then shrugging her shoulders. Lilac stared and got up. `You realize, that Queen brook is going to retire soon? Maybe that's why she didn't send anyone, she's pretty old mind you.` Lilac said. `So? war, is war.` Russet said glaring. Lilac glared back and headed back to the kingdom. `Where are you going?` Russet said, narrowing her eyes. `Where?` Lilac said. `Oh, I'm going to make a claim to the throne.`

{In the kingdom...} Lilac made a claim to the throne, and she ended up making Karmen king, because Karmen was the rightful heir, but she still kept her guard up, and she let icicle do what she wanted. Lilac ended up merging the forest and kingdom into a whole kingdom. She made sure everyone was having their best lives as she ruled, and then Karmen got sick, so she raised money to help him, and he got better. Then, they all lived happily in a kingdom, together.

Karmen’s sister Princess Icicle quickly stepped into the room, and stared at Lilac in the cage. She walked up to Karmen and whispered in his ear and quickly headed out. Karmen glanced at Lilac and left. When Karmen was out, Lilac noticed that Icicle came back in with the key and unlocked the cage. `Hey, sorry for my brother, he’s like that a lot.` Icicle looked at Lilac as she opened the door to the cage. `It’s fine.` Lilac said, then realizing that Icicle looked nothing like her brother. `You can go now.` Icicle said and smiled leading Lilac out of the palace and back to the forest. Lilac ran back to see Forest laying down and Russet looking angrier than ever. `Something happened while I was gone, huh?` Lilac said jokefully `This pint decided to try and go get you, and then I found her sleeping by the river.` Russet said. `Hey, it’s fine you should’ve at least encouraged her to come get me, you didn’t even try to!` Lilac said staring at Russet. `Hey, I thought you were dead.` Russet said defiantly.

Forest lay on the forest floor in her animal form, crying because lilac was captured.&nbsp; She’d raise her head and swore revenge. `I will find you, Prince Karmen, and I will get Lilac back.` She had thought to herself before dozing off. The next day, she was awoken by being poked on the side, she lifted her head and realized, it was Russet.&nbsp; She instantly got up, and fell into a crouch, hissing. `Get away from me!` Forest yelled. `You can’t run off like that forest!` Russet yelled, as she grabbed forest’s arm.
