"Alright, how do I find my essence?" I ask her ready to follow her instructions.
"Your Highness, you can do this by going the way you used in reaching out to me."
The way I connect with her? That should be easy since all I do is to get myself relaxed and clear my mind of all thoughts.
I get myself seated appropriately and try to clear my mind of everything going on around me, proving difficult for me no matter how hard I try. I just couldn't help feeling agitated.
Feeling frustrated, I take in deep breathes as I try once more.
"Your Highness, you need to try harder. I can only stop time for some time so as not to cheat time force. If I exceed the time frame, there will be grave consequences for it which I have no power over."
Nodding my head, I close my eyes and try to concentrate once more, and think of what is at stake if I fail to do as told.
Within minutes, I felt myself withdrawing from everyt
This war went on for years, never-ending, that it got to the point that the Moon Goddess and some Goddesses and Gods had to intervene before the world becomes destroyed completely. They faced every being under their creations and forced them to stand down, placing them under a curse to restrict them from using their powers and strength as they wish. The Vampires were placed under the curse of the sun. The sun shall smite them if they attempt to walk during the day but they are given full power over the moon to do as they wish. But were subjected to being killed by the bite of a werewolf and with silver, and a stake to the heart, and once that is done, they burn to ashes. These were the weakness given to the vampires by the gods. The Sirens were placed under the curse of not having the ability to change their appearances as they want when they approach their victims. They were cursed to retain their appearance of a pale humanoid w
"Do you know what iris represents?" She asked me plucking one of the iris and placing it behind my ear. Nodding, "They mean wisdom, hope, trust, and valor." "Good child. You see these flowers represent you. What you stand for." She gestures to the flowers, "look around my child," I turn to look at the flowers around us. "What do you see?" I look at her and gave her an obvious look that of course, I see iris flowers all around us. Shaking her head, "hehe hehe... yes what you see are ordinary flowers, but what I see are what they represent as you've mentioned. So dear child, what I see when I see you are wisdom, hope, trust, and valor. I see my beautiful child that will lead and rule her kind in the principle of knowledge and good judgment. One that is courageous enough to put hope and trust in the midst of every being uniting them as one to live in harmony. These are what I see in you child. For this pu
I walk towards her and reach out for her outstretched hand. The instant my hand touches hers, she places the one with the light ball on my forehead. The next second, I felt myself covered with the light from head to toe. I raised my hands to check them and literally speaking, my hands were glowing with different colors. Red, black, white, yellow, blue, green, and purple, all swirling around my hands and I can also guess all over me. They were just so beautiful to behold. "Close your eyes child and channel this glow within you. Feel them flowing through your body, blood, and bones to the tip of your fingers" I do as asked and immediately senses myself being engulfed in the light. Every ounce of my body feels alive that I could feel the flow of my blood through my veins. I could hear my heartbeat also. I opened my eyes that I didn't know I closed at one point and saw things in different shades of color t
I look at mother Goddess and notice her looking at me with pride written on her face. Nodding, "now you are ready." Taking a step towards me, she places her index finger on my forehead, "Go now my child. May the moonlight dwell with you and guide you". Nodding my head, I close my eyes and take my consciousness back to my body. Opening my eyes, I turned my head about to see that everyone is still at a standstill. " I'm glad you were able to attain your powers. Now use them to save your own. I will always be here to help you through your journey all you need to do is to summon me and I will come running to you, your highness." The moment she finished talking she faded away, making the time that was stopped, start and the action that was taking place commence. Not a second late, I reach out to the earth element and summon branches from the trees to attack our assailants. A branch grabs one o
Shaking my head, I opened the car door beside me and got out of the car. This got everyone out of their shock and signs of relief were written on their faces. "W...W...what was that?" "W...what just happened here?" "where did they come from?" "Did we just get saved by branches?" They began asking each other, "Am I dreaming? or did I imagine what just happened?" Princess Alexa asked also getting out of the car and coming to stand beside me. "No your Highness you did not imagine or dream it. Whatever that is, we were just saved by it, Your Highness" Josh said coming to stand before us. "Are you okay, Your Highness?" He asked us both to which we both nodded in response. "Yes, we are ok. Are you guys okay?" I asked all of them looking at their battered body. I was scared of whether I wasn't too late and they were severely injured already. They all started walking up to us, holding onto
Is this how I end up dying? No, it can't be... Hera told me I had cause to fulfill... Mother Goddess said I was the one she chose to save the world, to redeem the world... So this can't be it, right? I still have a lot I want to achieve... It wasn't among my plans for things to end like this... Wait...I'm not going to die. If I remember clearly, the leader wanted to take me and Alexa along with them right? Yes, that was it...I remember that was how it was supposed to happen before we refused and hell broke out...b...but if that's the case, what will happen to Lyra and the rest? will they end up dying? No, I can't allow that to happen I can't let them die in my place. I can't let them sacrifice their lives for me. I have to do something even if it will cost me my life. At least I will know I didn't die in vain. If I'm to die, it will be that I died trying to save lives as foretold of me.
"Hold on little sis, what exactly happened?" And so she began to explain everything that happened to him. From what happened at the mall, to the chase, to the branch, and finally to how my hair changed color all of a sudden without prior notice. In her words, 'it was so magical'. I shook my head in resignation as I listen to her talk. I've come to know that she can be exaggerative sometimes. Zeid looked at me as she narrates the events that happened not seeming to look surprised. Well that won't be so surprising since he is my mate and we are connected one way or the other and he also has access to my abilities. Therefore he would have felt them the moment they were awakened. "Alright Alexa, I'm glad both of you are not harmed but we need to leave this place to avoid any further casualties." Patting my head one last time, he stood left where we were and started giving orders to everyone to return to the palace.
Chortling, "How could you say that Your highness? Do I look like someone who can do such a thing? You think too highly of me. Which is a good thing and I don't mind it. At least it shows that you are aware of how high my status is. I'm just here to give you a fair warning and it's left for you to accept it or not". She left my side and walked towards the fullscreen window that was beside the door leading to my walk-in closet and looked out the window. "I know you've heard about one or two stories of similar cases of what happened to all the girls that the king invited to the palace and how none of them were found alive. Do you want to experience the same thing? Do you want your life to be cut short under the same circumstances or do you think the Prince will be able to protect you from such a situation or do you think the guards he placed by your side will be able to keep you safe?" Facing me, "He wasn't able to save those other ladies that encountered a similar situ
