Chapter 41

*Third Person's POV*

"That chosen one is starting to piss me off!" Velion shouted angrily after receiving the news from the raven he sent to follow Princess Ana Mae.

"I did not know that they could easily know the secret on how to defeat those spirit knights," Amira said in disbelief. Velion stared at her angrily and she nervously swallowed the lump in her throat.

"And you! You're a coward! You should've fought with her instead of leaving those spirit knights alone!" he yelled at her. "You could've defeated her since I have given you a lot of powers. But you're still useless!"

"I'm sorry my king, I promise to do my job better next time. Just please don't punish me," she begged.

She's too scared to be killed. She don't want to die without avenging her mom. Besides, all her efforts would be in vain if Velion would kill her now.

"Surely you will. Because if you fail this time, I will kill you without having a second thought," he warned her.

"I promise my king, just tell me what you want me to do and I will accomplish it for you," she promised with her shaky voice.

Velion turned to the raven and asked, "Tell me, where are they going now?"

"Arrrrck arrrrrck they're on their way to the white oracles cove arrrrrck," the raven answered.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA those pathetic kids thought that they could just easily defeat me by simply looking for those white oracles? They must be dreaming HAHAHAHA" Velion said evilly.

"So what's your plan my king?" Leanna asked.

"Bring my son with you and look for the white Oracles's cove before the chosen one gets there. Remember to kill all those bastards let them vanish, and soon there will be no white oracles in this world! HAHAHAHAHAHA," Velion instructed with an evil smirk on his face.

Amira smiled after hearing her master's words. Finally! She will be on a mission with Zion. It will be her chance to make him fall for her.

"Abalon! Call the Prince here," Velion instructed his servant.

"Right away my king." Abalon left using his teleportation skill and in just a few minutes he came back with a poker faced Prince Zion and a bored Stefan standing behind him.

"My dear son, I have a mission for you," Velion told his son who's just staring at him emotionless.

"What mission is it father?"

"You have to go to the dark forest and look for the white oracles's cove. You have to hurry before the chosen one gets there first. Kill all the white oracles that you will see. Burn their cove if it's necessary, just don't let those pests pester us in the future," he told Zion.

"I will kill those white oracles for you father," Zion promised him with a smirk.

"That's my son HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Let's go my prince," Amira said seductively as she clung to Prince Zion's shoulders.

Stefan disgustingly stared at her while Prince Zion remained emotionless. It's as if he's not affected with Amira's seduction.

"Stefan, use your teleportation spell," Prince Zion ordered.

Stefan nodded then chanted something making the three of them vanish into dark smoke.

Moments later, they found themselves standing in the middle of the dark woods.

"So this is where we came from earlier," Amira said while clinging like a spider on Zion's shoulder.

"Amira, I think you're going to rip the Prince's shoulder off," Stefan sarcastically told her.

"And what is it to you jerk?" Amira glared at her.

The two were shooting daggers against each other, while Prince Zion started to feel irritated with Amira's presence.

He removed her arm from his shoulder which made Stefan laugh.

"You deserve it!" he mockingly said to Amira who is now pouting.

"Do you know the exact.." Prince Zion wasn't able to finish his words because he heard a growling sound.

"What was that?" Amira asked nervously.

"Probably a Griffin, it hunts for prey every 15th of the month," Stefan explained to her.

"Stupid creature, expecting a prey in this abandoned forest," Amira said while rolling her eyes.

"Stay here! I'll go check on something." The two of them stared at Prince Zion in shock.

"Where are you going your highness? Don't tell me you are going to look for that Griffin?" Stefan asked in disbelief.

"We are here to look for the white oracles's cove ,not to meddle with a griffin's business," Amira said irritatedly.

"SHUT UP!" Zion yelled at her which made her jump a bit.

He flew into the air following the growl from the Griffin. He felt something strange for the first time. Like there's something pulling him to go to that Griffin's location.

He closed his eyes and listened to the sound vibration. And when he found the exact location of the Griffin, he did not hesitate to flew over there and see what's going on.

He saw the Griffin hovering over a girl who's laying lifeless on a large tree trunk. And to his surprise his blood automatically boiled when he saw the girl's bloody face. He felt the urge to kill the beast.

He jumped towards the Griffin and without a second thought he struck it's back with his sword. The Griffin yelped in pain, but he's not yet done. Cause the next thing he did turned the beast into ashes.

He attacked it with his glass fire and killed it in just one blow.

After defeating the Griffin, he stared intently at the girl's face. It's like there's something inside his heart that wanted to be free when he saw her up close.

"Who are you? And why do I feel like I want to protect you," he mumbled before carrying the girl in his arms.

"Hmmmmm," the girl groaned before she slowly opened her eyes. And when the Prince saw her electric blue orbs he automatically felt nervous for some reason.

"Zion?" the girl spoke and the Prince froze in horror.

"How did you know my name?" he asked. He was sure he never met this girl before, but how come she knows who he was?

"Zion, it's me Ana Mae." The moment he heard the name Ana Mae, he felt his heart burning. Like something inside him wants to come out for some unknown reason.

"Arrrrrrrgggghhhhh!" he shouted as he felt both his mind and heart burning. He put the girl down because of the intense pain he's feeling right now.

"Zion are you okay?" the girl asked worriedly and touched his shoulders. And the moment her hand touches his bare skin ,she felt her heart being torn apart.

"Arrrgggggghhhhh" he shouted again while holding his chest.
