Alli's POV
I saw we were at Buckingham Palace, "Welcome milady." A guard said. I helped Yoshi out of the carriage as all the animals came out. I stepped out as well, "You Ladyship Rose." The guard said. "They are the queen's own guests threat the accordingly."
"You better give us a wide berth make way boys!" Dolittle called. I went to the trunk and knocked three times, "Plimpton don't stop." Dolittle said. "Please crash." I mumbled to myself. "Stop!" Dolittle yelled. I walked up the stairs and walked in as Plimpton knocked over some armor I stopped Dolittle before he got knocked over by one of them, "Welcome." I said.
We turned looking at the giant bird who stuck his head in a hat, "What are you doing here?" Dolittle asked. "The queen needs her as well." Lady Rose said walking by us. We walked to her room, "Oh, oh wait, wait for me!" Tommy's voice was heard. "A stowaway my lady who claims to be....." A guard was saying. "Dr. Dolittle's apprentice!" Tommy called.
"It's quite alright Gareth." Lady Rose said. Gareth pushed him to me, "Well if he was my apprentice he should fetch my bags and keep his gob shut." Dolittle said. I rolled my eyes as we walked into the Queen's chamber. "Animals in the queen's chambers I demand their immediate removal." A voice I know said. I rolled my eyes, "Ah Lady Rose my apologies please forgive me we didn't realize that you were part of....John Dolittle and Alli Nolan?" "Is that Blaine?" Dolittle asked. "Blair." "Mud-fly?" I asked. "Müdfly." Müdfly asked. "You two know each other?" Dolittle asked. "We have someone in common." I glared at him. "Why are they here?" He asked Lady Rose. "Her Majesty has personally requested Dr. Dolittle and if he is in need of a captain Captain Nolan." Lady Rose said. We just smirked at him as Dolittle walked over, "Well then let's get to work alright Jip give her a good sniff." Dolittle said.
We watched as Jip licked the queen of course everyone in here had to freak out, "Oh bark you alright fellow?" Dolittle asked. He talked with Jip, "Oh you do love butt." I looked at Lady Rose and my little brother, "Captain Nolan thought you like Stubbins." Tommy said. "I had that name when I was with James." I said. He nodded understand, "Uh clearly Jipsy and I are out of our depths." Dolittle said and looked at the tank Müdfly was standing in front of it. "May we consult?" "Well of course I'd be more than happy to help......" I moved him out of the way. "He wasn't talking to you." I said and watched as he put goggles on and stuck his head in the water.

"John and I were students at Edinburgh years ago some thought he had a gift for observation. Dolittle came back up breathing for air. I pushed Tommy over who had a towel and handed it to him. There was chittering and I saw one of his mice, "Oh sorry about that Mini." He said. I gave a soft smile as he put her in his pocket, "Dab-Dab clear out the humans." Dolittle said. "Boyo fetch the Botanical Index and the tea tin."
Tommy did just that, "What do you smell Jip Elderberries?" "Hemlock?" Jip whimpers. "Negative." He said and flipped another Jip whimpers again. "Negative." Do little flipped to another and Jip barks, "Aye, Aye." He said. Jip sniffed once more and barks. Dolittle sighed and passed it to me and I looked, 'Deathly nightshade.' I mumbled and felt something up my arm and saw the insect who can seem like a twig. "Well the answer to everything exposure to toxins..." Dolittle said and motioned to the painting.
I nodded, "God he was like this at school lean in, lean in, I'm saying something interesting." Müdfly whispered. I shook my head, "The queen's symptoms are due to the effect of a rare Sumatran plant known as the Nightshade flower a sloar eclipse will occur on the 17th of this very month if she has no received the antidote by the she will perish." Dolittle said. "Excuse me but is that a Turner I use to have one of these it's a very fine painting." I said walking over to it. I walked over looking at it letting the insect out.
"I say Dolittle what is your plan?" Lord Thomas asked. "The plan I suppose we do need one well the queen's only hope is a curse that's never been tested from a tree that's only been found by one man." Dolittle said. I sighed, "It's on an Island that's never been found until that one man. Sounds ridiculous say it out lout but regardless of that we have no choice but to embark on this perilous journey right doc?" I asked him with a fake smile. "To Obtain the fruit of the Eden Tree." Dolittle said.

"Eden tree oh my fantastic the Dolittles and Nolans with their Eden Tree Island isn't it enough that your wife....." Blair was saying. "Shut up Blair." Dolittle growled which he did. "Why doesn't that work whenever I would do that?" I asked. "Also not a Nolan anymore." I said. "Fruits is always the cure isn't it Alli I mean James went to......" He was saying when I looked at him. "Why don't you just shut up?" I mumbled walking out.
"You must let nothing pass her that hasn't been made and served by you clear?" Dolittle asked. Lady Rose nodded, "You're a good kid Stubbins come on." I said. "Jip you need to stay behind and guard the queen." Dolittle said.
I walked out and turned to call for Tommy when I saw him talking with Lady Rose and smirked, "What?" He asked. "Nothing." I said. He nodded, "By the way you two would be adorable together." I said to my little brother. He blushed, "Now come on we've got a long voyage in front of us and the boat isn't gonna sail itself." I said.
I walked down, "You need me." I said. "Sadly I do." He said and looked at Plimpton, "I mean one more stop good fellow." He said. "I am riding with you on him?" I asked. "Problem?" He asked. "I should've rode in the trunk." I mumbled.
"Well I believe it's time to go our separate ways." Dolittle said. "Uh, I'm going with you both." Tommy said. "Certainly not." I said. "What your sister said." "It's far too treacherous." I said. "I'm his apprentice and your little brother." He said. "You are but I promise mum and dad you'd be safe." I said. "You my apprentice no, no, no." Dolittle said.
"Why do I have a feeling the ostrich is talking?" I asked Dolittle. "Cause he is." He said. "You're turn." I said smiling at him. "I didn't want to be embarrassed so I pretended you belonged." Dolittle said. "I was helpful in there wasn't I?" Dolittle showed with his fingers and I rolled my eyes. "Please go home I'll make it back." I said. "The animals like me I don't take up much space." Tommy said. "Listen to me I lost mum and dad then I lost the love of my life I am not gonna loose you next." I said. "I think I belong here just like you do." He said.
He looked at me with puppy dog eyes, "Don't make me go home." He said. I sighed, "Excuse me good sir can you give this boy a ride home thank you so much." I said. "What Alli?!" He called as they picked him up. "I love you so much brother bear." I said. He looked like he was going to cry. I kissed his forehead, "Be safe and don't do anything stupid. That's my job." I said and they went away. "Well now that's taken care of." He said. I watched them, "He'll be alright." Dolittle said. "No he's gonna do something stupid he's related to me I always do something stupid like I said yes to going on this trip with you." I said. He looked offended as I got on Plimpton as did he and we were off.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
