Chapter 3 - Geneva

GENEVA'S POV

"You are violating my human rights! You cannot keep me in this carriage and force me to meet someone!" I shouted loudly. It's been thirty minutes and they've locked me up in this medieval carriage and won't let me out. I've been screaming at them yet they won't let me be. 

"Lady Nyla, please calm down." My eyebrows furrowed as I banged my fist into the carriage's walls. "This is literally kidnapping!" I shouted, frustrated. One moment I was getting chased by a bird, then got chased by a man with red eyes, and now I'm being forced to come with them. 

Heck, it's a miracle I'm not yet dead.

The carriage suddenly stopped and I looked left to right. Yeah, I can't see shit because the carriage's windows are closed. A moment later, the door opened. I peeked my head out and saw the man with bright green eyes. 

"Where am I?" I asked. 

"The sorcerer's home," he answered and my eyes widened. "What?" I asked, not believing what I heard. I looked behind him and saw an entrance down to the ground and my eyebrows raised. 

"Is that sorcerer a fucking cavewoman or something?" I asked and scoffed but he didn't know how to answer me. "Pardon?" I rolled my eyes and got out of the carriage. I flipped my hair before walking to the door. Maybe this person will be able to help me more than these idiots. 

I banged on the door. "Is anyone inside?" I asked and the man with green eyes approached me and shielded me from the door. "My lady, you have to be careful." I sighed before crossing my arms. I let him do the talking and knocking before the door finally opened. 

I took a peek inside but saw no one. My eyebrows furrowed as I scanned the surroundings. Not a person is there. "Huh?" I questioned and looked at the man I was with. 

My guard was down and a knife was suddenly thrown in my direction. I was too stunned to react and luckily, the man managed to catch it before it hit my face. I stared at the sharp end of the knife that was an inch away from my face. I slowly backed away and the men that came along with us surrounded me so I'll be protected. 

Well, never mind then. I guess this person won't be able to help me because they're just coo-coo as well. 

I turned around and I was about to walk away but I stopped in my tracks when my heart suddenly felt like it was about to burst out. I held onto my chest as I fell to the ground and I tried keeping my body up. This is strange... I've never felt this pain. 

"Lady Nyla!" I heard the man shout as he walked to me and held my shoulders. "What did you do to her, you witch!" the man shouted as my hearing started to get fucked up. 

"Making her remember," I heard a mature woman's voice say behind me. 

My confusion was soon answered when my mind was jumping from one thing to another as if I was recollecting memories. But it wasn't whole, it was just fragments of my memories. 

"Goddess Nyla, you must remember..." I heard a voice in my head say and I started having a headache. "Remember who you are.." the voice continued but I can't seem to comprehend anything that was flashing in my mind. Bloodshed, deaths, and rulers, not of it, making sense. 

They're just fragments that have missing pieces. 

"AHHHH!" I shouted as my headache and heartache got worse and worse. 

"Stop it this instant!" the man commanded as he stood up and faced the woman. 

"Why?" the woman asked sassily. 

"Follow what the Prince says or you'll be executed." What? Prince? Did she just say, Prince? Don't tell me that green-eyed guy is a prince.

A moment later, the pain I was feeling instantly vanished and I took a deep breath. "You fuckers!" I shouted as I took deep breaths as I was holding my heart to make sure I ain't going to die from a heart attack. 

I turned around and glared at the woman. "Good morning, Lady Nyla. A thousand years after you vanished and now you're finally back. Let's just hope the royalties don't cut off your head immediately," she said with a sly smile, and my eyebrows furrowed. 

I stood up and faced her. "What is this place and why are there werewolves? A kingdom? Or whatever. Then there's you, a sorcerer?" I asked and instead of answering, she held my face with both of her hands and checked my eyes, nose, and lips. 

"Get off me," I said and pushed her arms away. 

"Fascinating," she whispered. 

"What?" the man with green eyes said. 

"She has zero recollection and her powers..." She grabbed my wrist and tried feeling for a pulse. "There's almost no trace of magic in her body. I can only feel it faintly," she said and the man nodded while I'm confused as hell. 

"I don't understand..." I murmured. 

"I-I'm not from here! I'm from America, uh New York? Earth?" I explained and her eyebrows raised. 

"She may perhaps have been traveling one dimension from another while she was gone for a thousand years. Or maybe she was stuck in that realm?" she said as if a lightbulb lit up inside her head. She let me go and went inside her house and we followed behind. Only me and the man followed while the rest waited outside. 

I looked around and saw books, lots of books. There's a massive pot and different types of glasses around. "Here." She grabbed a book and opened it. She scanned through the pages and shoved the book towards me. 

"This is Earth, am I correct?" I looked at the page and saw a drawing of Earth and I nodded. "Fascinating." I sighed before rolling my eyes. What is even going on here? 

"You need your book," she said and nodded to herself and I raised an eyebrow. "It's where you stored all your knowledge." She opened a hidden door and told us to follow her. I don't feel safe here with both of these strangers surrounding me. But alright, I guess if I die, I die. 

We walked further down and I know we're deep underground now. I felt chills down my spine as I saw cave walls and lightly lit up candles around. Isn't this creeping anyone else out?

Once we reached the bottom, I saw a book encased in a glass wall. I strangely felt that I've seen this before as if I'm craving to open it. I walked further and passed everyone and held the box. "What is this?" I asked slowly. 

"You closed it off in that box before the tragedy happened a thousand years ago. You're the only person that has the ability to open that box," she explained and I scanned it. 

"How?" There was a quick pause. 

"I don't know.." she whispered. 

"What do you mean you don't know? You've kept that book here your entire life while waiting for her to come back," the man uttered and she glared at him. 

"Oh, I'm sorry Prince Wesley," she sarcastically uttered. Prince Wesley? So his name is Wesley and he's a prince.. I looked at his face and noticed how he was also handsome. "Damn," I uttered as I stared at him and both of them looked at me with confusion. I cleared my throat and looked at the book again. 

"I was just the keeper, the sorcerers before me advised that I don't mess with the case so I didn't. Only the deity could," she explained to Prince Wesley. 

While looking at the book, I noticed there's an eye in the middle. I squinted my eyes and stared at it before trying to touch it but the case stopped me. My head started hurting and as I continued staring, I remembered something very clear and vivid. 

"You are the lost Deity." The woman turned and told me.

3RD PERSON VIEW

The Goddess named Nyla stood up from her throne and walked down the red carpet as she scanned the surroundings. Her eyes were fully black and no other colors were present. Her face was pale as snow while her hair was pure white, nothing can be compared to how pure her hair was. 

She was admired yet feared by many because of how powerful she was. 

"Goddess Nyla, the soldiers from the mountains have visited," a servant said while bowing his head down out of respect. 

"Who may it be?" she asked, sophisticated. 

"General Wilbur and General Wesley," the servant said and her eyebrows raised. She chuckled to herself before nodding her head. "Ah, the brothers." 

She dismissed the servant and walked further as her big black wings dragged behind her. A Goddess with wings, truly a sight to see. 

She extended her wings and started flying out of the castle. She flew up the sky and scanned the surroundings before taking a deep breath and letting her body fall down and she closed her wings. She kept turning around and around and when she was close to the ground, she opened her wings and she flew to the garden. 

She spotted the pair and landed in front of them with a smile. "Generals," she greeted before nodding her head slowly. 

"Lady Nyla, it's a pleasure to meet you again," they said in unison before bowing. 

"Now that the war has ended, everything is at peace again. I truly thank both of you," she said with the sweetest smile and the brothers blushed. 

"It's an honor, my lady," General Wesley said. 

"The kingdom has shone brighter than the sun now that you rule it. We are glad that peace has been brought upon-" General Wesley was about to show his gratitude but an arrow was shot on his arm. The Deity's eyes widened and she looked around. 

She extended her wings and covered the brothers as arrows shot towards them and some hit her wings before she cast a protective spell over them. "Lady Nyla!" Prince Wesley shouted. 

"The spell lasts only a couple minutes, get him to safety." 

"But-" She pushed the two away before she extended her wings further and the arrows that pierced her wings fell to the ground. She bent down and jumped to the sky as she flew. 

She looked around and saw that the werewolves and vampires had united to take her down. "Traitors!" she screamed in madness as they tried taking her down. 

The bloodshed occurred again and this time, the vampires were winning. An arrow shot her in the heart and she almost fell but managed to keep herself in the air. "How dare all of you?!" Her voice echoed throughout the kingdom. 

"I will not perish easily. This war is not over until I come back!" In an instant, she flew high in the sky and her body glowed white and the brightness spread all over the world. She vanished and left the kingdom to deal with extreme heat and brightness for five hundred years.
