A Forgotten Land

Prologue (1-2)
(Don't worry, the chapters won't be this long)

Mira stood on the tower, gazing down at the animals battling against the phantoms. Roars and yell filled the air, animal after animal and phantom after phantom falling. Her eyes glinted with worry as she turns, flying down to the castle wall and walking inside. This war has been going on for eight years, and it seems like they were losing. They already lost half of their land to them, and now, they were cowering in one piece of land, defending with every last drop of energy they had. Mira bowed her head a bit, remembering how Zios had died during the war. She looked down at the amulet wrapped around her neck. A gem surrounded by metal dangling from the string, Zios marking on it. She shook her head, keeping the thought away as she looked back up. She must keep her beloved jammers safe, and she only knew one way of doing that.

With a sigh, she walked over to the doors and opened it. The alphas were sitting at a table, most with worried expressions or furious ones. She sat in her throne, looking at them all. Glory..wasn't here. Mira face scrunched up in worried, until, she saw the dolphin swim up in the tube of water that was connected to the wall and out to the ocean. The tube sat between Greely and Sir Gilbert, to keep the two from arguing. She was panting, out of breath "Sorry about being late..a herd of phantoms started attacking a town." She spoke, regaining her breath. Mira nodded, relieved that her friend was alright.

Mira cleared her throat, gazing around the alphas "Now, we all know the..dreadful truth of the war.." She mumbled, clutching her amulet. Greely started grumbling to himself, looking down at the table as frustration. Her gaze shifted to the other alphas "And.. we won't be able to win this time." She added on, staring down at the table. Her voice was trembling at the words she spoke. Sir Gilbert face filled with sympathy for his dear leader.

"Mira, we can-"

"Gilbert, quiet!" Greely growled, looking over at him. Glory looked between the two "Now, now, don't start an argu-"

"The chances of winning this war is zero! We can't continue to send out armies of animals, or else they'll be killed!" Sir Gilbert glared at Greely, his paw clenching in anger. "And how do you know that?! We've won many wars against these phantoms, it isn't any different!" Peck nervously looked between them "Guys..calm down, we-" It was too late, by now the table of alphas sprouted into arguing, some trying to stop the others, but failed to. Sir Gilbert constantly slam his paw on the table, causing Greely to get angrier at the second. Cosmos and Graham manage to sneak out of the room, not wanting to get involved. Glory tried reasoning the two, but only ended up ignored.

"Silence!" Jade roared, topping over the other voices. Greely looked at the snow leopard, about to say something before noticing a shaking Mira who was about to snap. He shrank back, avoiding her gaze. The room soon fell into silence. Jade turned to Mira, attempting to calm her down. She managed to do so, smiling softly at her leader. She huffed, looking back at the alphas "I'm highly disappointed in you all. I wasn't finished speaking, yet you interrupted me, which soon turn into a blazing argument." She spat. "Now.." Her voice became softer, spreading a relief among the animals in the room "I have a way of-"

"Mira! They're getting closer!" Cosmos shouted, Graham and him bursting back into the room. Mira spun around, her wings lifting slightly.

"What?"

Graham nodded "They're getting close! Animals are trying to defend them off, but that won't be for long!"

Mira glanced down at the ground, her eyes clouded in thought. She then looked back up and turned around to the alphas "I want you all to gather every animal into the castle. Felicity," She said, turning to her "I want you, Otto, Liza, Marco, and Peck to check all the castle windows and doors. Make sure everything is lock." Felicity nodded and started gathering the alphas, soon leaving the room.

She then turns to Greely "I want you, Sir Gilbert, Cosmo, and Graham to hold the front door. Make sure to keep all phantoms out." Greely frowned when he heard Sir Gilbert name, though, did so anyway. "And Glory, keep all phantoms from breaching in your castle." She ordered. Glory nodded, smiling as she swam off.

Mira then flew out of the castle, sitting on top of one of the towers. She watched the wave of phantoms come toward them, the giant, Phantom King among them. Her eyes shifted to the animals piling into the castle. Once none of them were in there, she gripped her amulet, flying up in the air. She then spread her wings open, the sunrays hitting the amulet, causing it to glow.

A beam of light soon came, causing the phantoms to look away from the blinding light. When it was gone, they look back to see that.. they were gone. Frustration soon took over the Phantom King shocked looked and he ran into the castle, gazing around. Nothing. Nobody. He was about to let out a roar of anger until he realized..

<p style="text-align:center;">Jamaa was now his.

<p style="text-align:center;">--

<p style="text-align:center;">Mira collapsed to the ground, her wings feeling weak. She was..tired, breathing heavily. Greely and Sir Gilbert ran over to their dear leader, helping her help. Sir Gilbert frowned, worried for his leader, though he let one question slip out from him

<p style="text-align:center;">"Ma'am..where are we?"

<p style="text-align:center;">Mira looked up, her eyelids drooping "A-Akira..a land far from Jamaa. I was able to teleport here with Zios amulet, though, I can never do that again.." She spoke, her voice quivering. Greely looked around the tree's "We lost..though, at least..we're safe. Let's start building right away and find you a place to rest."

<p style="text-align:center;">Mira let out a small chuckle, shaking her head "That would be nice."
