CHAPTER NINETEEN
“Sweet Lord, I wish you a good morning. I was told that you're summoning me.” Averiya greeted.
“Likewise, it’s such a beautiful day… I'd want to ask you if you could inform the Head of the Elven guard' that I'm summoning him. Tell him we'll meet at the top of the hill, near the palace, where the dandelions are.”
“As you wish, My Lady. But would you mind if I will help you to dress first for it was winter…”
Princess Charlotte stood in front of the mirror, enthralled by her new winter gown, created by Averiya, her fairy friend at the same time her servant. She is dressed in a stripped-down version, a white dress fashioned of the petals of a philadelphus flower. It's shiny and sparkling, and when it glistens, it looks like snow. The delicate blue and silver colors on the lower portion of the dress are ideal for incorporating snowflakes into her attire. She also has a flowing, wonderful cape with diamonds and sparkles, as well as a snow-white tint.

Meanwhile, Ithildin and Isilme together with the people they’re leading have already arrived at the deep ford they'll travel through with the hippogriffs and other animals, as hippogriffs can't fly during the wintertime. The rest of the pathway was almost completely obscured by snow, except steeples and towering trees. Beyond it, a track can take you to the wood's edge and the thick jungles bridge's entryway. But Ithildin had informed them that since the good spirits of the woods had abandoned it, it was now frequently used by the Lycans, and the mountain road itself, he was told, became tangled and extended to insurmountable swamps where the routes had long been forgotten. Its northern entrance always seemed to be far to the west of the Windy Mountain, leaving them with a long and laborious march south once they reached the opposite side.The abandoned Meriel Kingdom's edge drew closer to the territorial boundaries of the lengthiest Fairy River south of the other hill,

The path is lined with bare winter trees, whose breathing rises in visible plumes to meet the darkening cloudy sky. They were off again while the shadows were still long, with a chilling chill in the air bringing sharpness to the leaves, bejeweled with frost, and that crunch underneath. So they continued walking for another two hours, seeing nothing except snowy grass, daisies, birds, and dispersed trees, as well as tiny herds of red deer nibbling or sitting in the shade at noon. Averiya occasionally noticed the harts' horns protruding from the tall grass, and at first,mistook them for dead nearby trees.They continued forward after dusk and into the twilight beneath the pouring snow because they were so eager to press on since Isilme had instructed they should reach the woodland gate early before nightfall. As the lights were a littledimmed, one of them claimed he spotted a path towards the left direction, as well as the hazy silhouette of a large bear stalking i

It’s already dark it was time for the people and Ithildin to sleep, to take a rest. Isilme let out his staff and stamp it on the ground making the snow fly in the air like dust and a magical spell was produced as it created fire. “Here, you've got to warm your cold bodies, I know you're all feeling cold.” The folks appear to be sleepy and fatigued, and Bimby, the Basajuan child, was nodding and almost closing his eyes. Isilme appeared out of nowhere. "It is time for us to sleep," he said, "¬for us… under this big tree we can rest sound and safe, but I warn you all not to forget what Ithildin said before he left us: you must not stray anywhere into the woods until the sun is up, on your peril." Averiya ended up finding that a warm-lined padded bag to sleep in made out of a big aqua lily pad which had already been arranged at the side of the tree trunk, on a sort of wooden platform between both the large foliage and the external surface. For her, there was this little

He worked his way back through to the intertwined branches with several slaps in the face; he was greened and muddy from the ancient wood of the larger evergreens; he broke a balance of himselfand recovered himself barely in time; and finally, after a frightful battle in a challenging location with no suitable limbs at all, he arrived near the summit. He was constantly concerned about if there had been bats in the tree and whether he would get down. "Dang! never thought this would be really hard," he whispered to himself.Finally, he turned his head above the canopy of foliage and discovered bats hanging from the ceiling. They were, however, little and average in size. The light had nearly blinded Legolas' vision.He could perceive the ear the sound of people yelling towards him from below, but he couldn't respond; all he could do was hold on and stare. The sun was blazing brightly as the snow was now little and it took him a long time to get used to it. When he lo

I managed to rise, gripping the jagging rocks with my fingers and furiously pulling myself up onto dry land. The icy waters ebbed and slammed against my back cruelly, almost pushing me into a state of hyperthermia. Muscle spasms wreaked havoc on my body, and I limped unconsciously into a big cave. As I crept farther into the tunnel, I saw that the light in the area was fading. I had two options: stay and die of exposure or enter and risk my life. I'm not one to give up quickly, so I continued deeper into the rocky hole."What an awful stench!"Nothing but my gasps and footsteps could be heard as I shuffled into the cave, both palms "magnetized" onto the cavern's even walls. It was excruciating to intrude into a strange land while blind. Suddenly, a squadron of winged creatures - most likely bats - rushed across the cave's peak, causing shrieking shrieks to reverberate throughout the cavern.I knelt with both hands over my head and remained very still. My h

“There’s no sign of Legolas. I looked all around the tall grasses that he could have but he was still gone.” Allessia said to her companions. Are saw his broken bow and tried to touch it. Everyone was silent while Are is caressing the bow with his closed eyes. “Young Legolas, that young elf… was in search for Princess Charlotte.” The disappointment was seen in Allessia’s face as she was able to control it. “But I can’t track where the Princess was, all I can see is darkness.”“Then we must continue our journey to Sharrveineil, the people and Isilme are already waiting at the riverbank of East,” Ithildin said.“What about Legolas?” Aradan said, “Don’t worry about Legolas, help me fix these dead bodies of our colleagues.” Allessia complained.The group fix all the remains and started heading to the East riverbank where the other colleagues are. Meanwhile, Charlot

“He is Antigone, we used to meet before the day I got lost-“ Are interrupted Charlotte from talking and slowly move closer to Antigone together with Ithildin.“Antigone…” Are exclaimed looking at his eyes. “Antigone… my long-lost friend!” he shouted. “Antigone!” and he gladly recognized him. “Are,” Antigone said emotionally as they hugged each other. “Antigone?” Isilme whispered and dashed upon them with excitement, at last, they had reunited.“In a small world,” Charlotte whispered in realization. After they talked and tells stories for a while, Ithildin stood up and announced that he is taking the lead to the Tree Valley, just next to this mountain.The forest's trees were a sickly brown color. Poison grains encrusted the bark and glistened like witch dust. Trolls prowled the suffocating coppices, drooling over their victim and spreading the blood over their hulki

“Despite being well-known and the daughter of a most respectable woman in this world, I can't disagree with how you feel about forcing yourself on a man who is already in a relationship. But what about me? my feelings? Can't I also be happy with the person I love without anybody bothering and taking my beloved from me? Forgive me, Princess, for what I'm saying, but I'm just releasing the pain of my sentiments." “I didn’t know that, Allessia. All of my life… I wasn’t informed.” I said. “Did you know the feeling? The feeling of betrayal?” she as I watched her cry. Averiay, on my side also watched her giving Allessia a mean face. ‘You have never been in a relationship, you’re assuming too much.’ Averiya thought while rolling her eyes. “The pain that you fought for the world, you did everything just for him but in return is… he paid me pain.” Allessia continued, “I have owned him first, so don't turn away from hope where there isn't much of it.” “
