Elena sat outside the restaurant, studying the night sky. She was sitting on an old chair which she had dragged out of the restaurant. The night breeze felt like a cold caress on her skin, softly blowing her hair as it built up an atmosphere for reminiscing. The Duke, his son and Beau Rage had left earlier. According to Mac, they had left a huge tip behind. Mac was so happy about their achievement he didn't notice that something was wrong with her. Elena didn't even have the heart to tell him how she felt. She knew that there would come a day when she would have to tell them her real identity, but she wanted to enjoy life as a normal citizen, even for a little bit. All their customers finally left when they had eaten their fill. Just like their normal routine after work, they all gathered at a table and counted out their earnings for the day. Thanks to the VIP guests, they made three times more than they normally made in a day, and that was by far a lot. Elena tried to b
Elena and Wazir paved their way through the forest. The evening had come, as the sun had come down from the sky. Elena surmised that the sky would become darker in a few hours, and the stars would appear. "How long would this training last?" She asked, pushing away a branch from her path. "It depends on how fast you learn," Wazir answered, walking in front of her. They walked for a while, silence enveloping them. The crunching noise caused by their footsteps in contact with dry grass and leaves was the only sound that could be heard in the forest. Being in the forest reminded her of her first time in the kingdom of Neba. "Where are we going to?" She asked. "It's kind of my haven," Wazir replied after a while. "I come here whenever I want to clear my head, or get away from, you know.... everything." They both kept quiet, each to their thoughts as they continued down the path Wazir was going to. "Finally, here we are," Wazir called out and paused his wa
Somewhere in another land... Hidden deep inside the covering of a forest existed a cave. Inside stood a gathering of men, all covered in white garb and white hood. There were about a thousand of them. They exuded danger, and their appearance explained their power. They were all humming, chanting in a strange language. The drum hitting could be heard at a three-second interval, and the men all swayed to its rhythm. Suddenly, they all started stomping their feet on the ground, shouting a familiar chant at the same time. Their voices grew higher and higher, and when they heard the sound of a horn, they all went silent. The environment was mysterious and suspicious. Even with their faces covered, one could feel the bloodthirst and devious happiness they exuded. A powerful voice broke the silence in the cave. "Brothers," he called out. His voice could be heard in every area of the cave. "The time has come for us to finally come out. As guided by our Ruler and father,
The Kingdom of Neba... The Red Queen's restaurant. Wazir and Mac huddled together, trying to console a distraught Forest. On their faces were signs of tiredness and worry as they all thought of ways to help Elena. When Forest ran to them with the news, they could not believe their ears and had thought he was joking. Mac's heart shattered as he felt it was his fault. He never meant to involve Elena in his fight with JoĆ¼stin. He never even suspected that JoĆ¼stin would go as far as to carry out a kidnap. They must have pushed him to the edge. Wazir, on the other hand, was broodingly thoughtful. His eyes were scrunched up, an unrecognizable glint shone in his eyes. His mouth was bent into a scowl, and one could only wonder what was going on in his mind. Forest was sitting on a chair, biting his fingernails. His feet were trembling, and he couldn't stop the occasional racking sobs that had been threatening to break out ever since he came to the restaurant. Suddenl

The forest was strangely still, the soft breeze being the only thing that moved. Svetlana's eyes widened at seeing the stranger, and the feeling of surprise was not foreign to DarukĆÆ either. They stood silently, dragging their eyes across the other's form, then suddenly, Svetlana ran to him and threw herself on top of him, hugging him tightly. "Dar," she said, sobbing heavily. She couldn't believe that her reason for seeking refuge in Neba had paid off after so many years. She had found her father. "Hush, Lana," DarukĆÆ said, dragging his hands across his daughter's back as he fought his tears from falling. "It's okay, it's okay. Everything is fine now." He said, consoling his daughter. They separated after a while, though Svetlana clung heavily to his arm. "I thought I had lost you! I have been looking for you for years! Where have you been all those while?" "Relax," DarukĆÆ said with a smile, moving a tendril of hair that had fallen on her face behind her
The journey back to the Red Queen's restaurant was a bit lively as it was comfortable. Svetlana made sure to keep the discussion going, and even though DarukĆÆ hardly made any comment, Elena felt comfortable with him. When they finally reached the restaurant, they could see Mac and Forest, who both stood outside and were contemplating. While Forest still sat outside where Svetlana had found him earlier, Mac slowly paced by the entrance. Overcome with happiness at seeing them again, Elena called out to them, tears running down her face. "Forest! Mac!" They turned to face who had called them, and Forest jumped up from his seat immediately he saw her. "Elena!" He shouted, his voice choked with grief. He ran towards her and enveloped her in a big hug. Soon after, Mac joined in the reunion, swallowing them both with his arms as tears poured from his eyes. Svetlana and DarukĆÆ stood quietly behind, allowing them their private moment. There they all stood, weeping tea
The Kingdom of Neba... The King's Palace. The king of Neba held his breath as he watched his granddaughter enter his royal study. She was the exact copy of her grandmother and his daughter. Fighting the feeling of melancholy pooling in his eyes, he walked over to her briskly and enveloped her in a hug. He could tell that she was shocked as her body stiffened, but he hugged her even tighter, not willing to let go. It had been so long since he hugged his daughter. Now he could hug his granddaughter. After a while, he could feel her hands on his back, shyly returning his hug. "Oh my dear, how I have wanted to do this for a long time." He said, choking on a sob. They remained like that before he finally pulled apart and studied her, taking note of her appearance. "My dear child, are you okay? I'm so sorry for not meeting with you earlier. I had thought that you might need your space, had I just met you, all these wouldn't have happenedā" "It's okay, grandfather,"
