Looking up the sky as she leaned her head back along the edge of a slab of the smooth stone surrounding the small lagoon, Tiana let out a long and deep sigh. She was starting to feel worried.

What if she could not control the other griffins within the limited time that they had? What if it was only Xyla that she could manage to control? She really needed the cooperation and strength of all the griffin here if she wanted to successfully achieve her lofty goals.

It was then that negative thoughts began to flood Tiana’s mind. She wanted all the griffins. She wanted to control all of them. Xyla alone was not enough. Was the power boost she got from the previous queen not enough?

If she wanted to stand against an enemy like the Drektus queen, she must be able to control more than just one lone griffin – and such a small one at that.

But none of them could speak out as they could see how hard she was trying and how desperate she looked.They did not have the heart to interrupt her and tell her to rest.

    As the group was finishing their dinner, Tiana spoke up. "Tomorrow," she started as she looked at everyone, "after I call for the last two griffins, I think we can prepare to leave this place."The two men fell silent for a moment but eventually they all nodded. They were all ready to leave now as well."Your wish is our command, Princess. We will abide with whatever your decision may be." Rex said and Tiana smiled slightly."Thank you." Tiana felt relieved. Before dinner, while she was taking her bath, she had thought that she can no longer stay here.

    Dalton looked at Tiana. For some reason, the look in Dalton’s eyes made Tiana smile to herself. It was obvious to her that Dalton wanted her to just let Yael join them without the need to show off her skills. And Tiana knew it was not due to Dalton being afraid. It was just that he was extremely reluctant, and Tiana found him quite adorable at the moment. Even though his expression did not show anything at all, Tiana could tell from the extra stiff set of his shoulders and how he was standing so still where he was. "I believe this is for the best, too." Rex suddenly spoke up, though he was disappointed that he was not chosen. "It's best for us to know what she is capable of. That would be good for us to know when and how to aid and protect her once we're outside of the valley. So go ahead Dalton." After all, they all knew just how dangerous the next part of this journey they were going to embark on. They still have the princess to protect so having a powerless witch tagging along w

    "Why are you not attacking?" Yael said, her eyes intense as she glared at Dalton. "If you're holding back because I'm a woman or because I have no magic, then quit it. That's the same as looking down on me."Dalton’s eyes twitched a little and then he sighed heavily. He looked up at Tiana and Rex then towards Yael again."I'm not looking down on you." He said and then his eyes turned golden yellow.Yael swallowed and her instincts made her magic threaten to come bursting out in self- defense. Thankfully, she was fully in control. She realized that it was the first time she saw Dalton turned their eyes golden yellow, and Yael could not help but have a flash back on the werewolves in the past."Get ready," Dalton warned, "I'm coming at you for real."“Take it easy on her Dalton!” Rex shouted earning a glare from Yael."Bring it on." She challenged. Her eyes fixed intensely on Dalton’s golden yellow eyes. And before she knew it, they were clashing against one another. He was strong but s

    As they walked along the castle path, Tiana suddenly halted. She turned around for one last look of the grand view, committing it to mind and heart, before resolutely turning to the opposite way and walked on without turning back anymore. Tiana and her men – plus a new companion – finally left.When they arrived at the shore, Tiana was surprised that Yalck was still waiting there, crouching at the very same spot where they had left him so many days ago. Seeing the large majestic griffin, Tiana did not know why but she suddenly had the urge to run up to her and give her a hug.However, Tiana opted to approach her with measured steps and Yalck opened its large eagle eyes to look steadily at her. Then Tiana reached out her hand and touched her feathery neck. Her face softened and her eyes turned gentle even as she flashed her a slight smile."Why are you waiting here?" Tiana asked as she continued caressing the griffin. "You didn't even move from this spot like a good girl, and yet you d

    And then the day came, after a few painful days, the pain hit Tiana like never before. She remembered telling the midwife to just take the baby out and make it all end and sometimes she really thought she would die. The pain was so much that she felt her mind go numb. Then she heard the cry of her child and the pain fled to the back of my head in a flash, so far back she didn't even know or care that she was in pain few seconds ago. The melodious cry of her baby was enough for her to forget all the pain she went through just seconds ago. All she wanted was to hold her child."You have given birth to a princess, Your Majesty."
