*Princess Amira's Pov*

    

    

          "Your highness we should have sent someone instead. You know it's forbidden to go outside the school premises," Ashley said as soon as we arrive in the middle of the forest. We came here for a very important mission. I glared at her as a warning. She's annoying and stupid! Who cares about rules when nobody knows that we violated them! 

    

    

           "Keep your mouth shut Ashley or I will be the one to shut it for you!" I warned. She bowed down her and did not bother to speak again.

    

           She just followed me while I was looking for the cottage of the snake hunter.

    

          "Did you have the map with you?" I asked without even turning around to look at her.

    

          "Yes your highness. It says here that the cottage is located at the west side of the woods. With two big acacia trees on it's sides," she explained. I nodded and started walking to the west side of the forest. This place is so quite that I could not even hear a single chirp from a bird. Everything looks so calm that you wouldn't even think about being attacked by wild animals. 

    

            "Your highness are you sure about this map? We've been walking for almost an hour already and there's not even a single sign of life in here. This forest is dead!" she blurted out.

    

          "Just pray that we will not encounter any wild animals along the way, cause I swear to all the odds that I'm going to feed your annoying mouth to them!" I warned her again. This girl's mouth is really irritating. 

    

             Then, finally after walking for almost an hour we arrived at our destination. Geez this snake hunter! We have to suffer first before we could find him. His cottage is made up of bamboo and nipa. It looks simple but refreshing and a perfect place to rest when you're tired of city life.

    

             Ashley started knocking at his bamboo door. She knocked 3 times before it finally opened, revealing the man we've been looking for.

    

            "Who are you?" he asked with confusions written in his slightly big eyes. He's a little skinny and his hair looks like it had never experienced being washed for years. It's messy and I think it badly needs a hairbrush.

    

           "Who are you and what are you doing here?" he shouted. Gosh he's breath stinks! I almost throw up and I badly want to shout in his face that he needs to know some personal hygiene.

    

            "I am Princess Amira, the second princess of Citrine. And she's my personal assistant Ashley Devera," I told him before he shouts at us again. Because he might kill us with the bad breath he have!

   

    

          He looked at me as if scanning me from head to toe. Then he smiled, a devil one!

    

    

         "Come in your highness, it's a pleasure to have you as a guest," he said while opening the door wider for us.

    

             "Have a seat." He motioned us to sit on his wooden chair but we refused.

    

             "We're here for business, and I don't want to waste much time." We should hurry back to the University before they find out that we're missing. I swear my mom would surely kill me with her piercing stare if that happens.

    

    

                

   "Oh? What kind of business your highness?" he asked with a smirk.

   

    "I know that you're a snake hunter, so I want you to catch the most venomous snake you have ever encountered. Give it to me alive and without even a single scratch." He went silent for a while. Probably wondering on why the hell I wanted him to catch a snake, well not just a simple snake but the most venomous one.

    

    

 

      "Your highness, what are you going to do with that snake?"

    

    

      "Stop asking questions! You want to earn money or not?" I'm starting to feel irritated with this guy. He keeps on asking questions and it annoys me. Why don't he just answer me with a yes instead of asking too much?

    

       "Of course I do want to earn money. But this thing you are requesting is very dangerous. It's a venomous snake and you want me to catch it alive!" he explained as if telling me that he deserves the best compensation for this job.

    

    

 

       "Of course you will be compensated for it. I will give you two bags of golds if you will accomplish this task. You will be a rich snake hunter before you know it! You could build a better home than this and start your own family with that big amount of money," I told him. I could see how his eyes sparkle like diamonds after hearing my words. People will always be blinded by money. They will even offer their lives for it! What a pity!

    

    

"Well then, it's a deal your highness! When do you want me to deliver it to you?"

    

    

"Good. You don't have to deliver it in the University. Ashley will be waiting outside this forest tomorrow evening. Give it to her then you will have your money. But please be sure that nobody will see you," I explained to him. 

    

    

    

"Yes of course your highness. I will look for a snake right away!" he said excitedly. 

    

    

    

"Let's go Ashley, it's getting late and we need to arrive in the University before sunset."

    

    

    

"Yes your highness, I badly want to go home.  I'm not going to die because of the wild animals, it's his breath that would kill me," she whispered that made me laugh. It seems like her mouth is not just the one functioning today.

    

    

    

   "Shut up Ashley, he might hear us."

    

    

    "I'm just telling the truth your highness," she reasoned out.

 

    

    

   "Enough! Let's go!" I yelled at her. She pouts and started to walk outside without even waiting for me. This brat is forgetting who I am! I am her boss and she should walk behind me!

    

      After another almost an hour walk, we finally arrive at the backdoor of the University where the secret door is located. We discovered this while following one of our professors. We got curious on what she's doing in the grassy part of this University so me and Ashley decided to follow her. Then we found her dirty little secret. She secretly sneaks out every afternoon using this rusty and old door covered with grasses. And who would have thought that this could be a great help to us?

    "What is that thing you're hiding inside your cloak?" the guard asked again. Ashley bit her lips because of too much nervousness. She's thinking of an excuse but her mind is not working properly. It seems like fear has a great impact on her. "Uhmmm, it's just...." "It's my pet cat Tiara, she panics every time she sees a lot of people. That's why I told my servant to hid her in her cloak." She was relieved when Princess Amira came to help her explain. If she did not arrive on time, probably the guards had forced her to show them the cage. "Princess Amira!" All the guards bowed down their heads to pay their respects to the Princess. &nb

    Princess Ana Mae woke up to the screeching sound in her closet. The sun is already up and her servant is nowhere to be found. "Probably she went downstairs to get us some food," she said while she carefully stood up from her bed. She slowly walks towards the direction of her closet to check on it. "What could be the reason for that screeching sound? Hmm?" She carefully opened it and tried to check on each of her dresses. And when she was about to check on the last dress she haven't checked yet, a snake came out from it. She was horrified for it's her first time to come face to face with a real snake. "Help!" she screamed. She was about to move away from there, when the snak

Both the king and queen stopped doing their things when they heard the butler's words.

Her pinkish lips turned pale and her golden hair almost fade it's glow."My daughter," she said in the middle of her tears. She caressed her daughter's cheeks who were as pale as her lips."Mommy is here my princess you don't have to be afraid."She held her daughter's left hand and gently kisses the top of it."Maurice, she will be fine," the king said to comfort his wife. He held his daughter's hand as well and kisses her forehead."Their will never be light in our lives if we lost you darling. So please wake up and come back to us. We beg you." The king wasn't able to stop himself from crying.

    Princess Diane's Pov; It's almost dark when we found the hunter's home. Unlike the other side of the forest, the area where his house is located looks lively. I could hear some birds singing, squirrels roaming around and some ducks swimming on the lake near his small house. "Are you sure this is the hunter's lodge?" I asked Lyndon. It's really hard for me to believe that a strange snake hunter would live in this place. I mean, this place looks exactly like a happy home where a happy family could live freely. It might be far from the city but this place is actually the place where I want to stay whenever I'm stressed with palace duties. "Surely this is! I could still remember the scenario I have

Even her bones were starting to go weaker because of it," the royal physician explained as soon as he's done checking my poor daughter. My feet suddenly felt weak and my tears were unstoppable. I almost fall to the ground, it's a good thing that Kaira is standing behind me and she was able to catch me before I even fall. "Your highness, the princess will recover. She's a strong girl, I'm pretty sure she will fight for her life," she assured me. "I agree with Kaira your highness. I have known the princess for years and I already know how brave she is," the royal physician said, trying to lighten up the burden in my heart. &nbs

    *Queen Maurice's Pov;* "Where is that snake hunter?" my husband asked while clenching his jaw. As if on cue the palace door opened and a tall man in his mid 50's started walking towards our direction. Judging from the way he walks and how his shoulders tremble, I could hardly tell that he's nervous. "Your majesty-" He wasn't able to continue his words because the king approached him and punched his face. "How dare you trade my daughter's life for money? Don't you know how much this land would suffer if we lost her? This land will no longer see the light of the day!" he shouted angrily. "I'm so sorry your majesty, but please let me explain first," the man begged. I stood up from my seat and went to my husband. "Hon, let him spea

    *First Person's POV* Just as when I was about to blame myself, Leanna spoke, "No madame! The Gods did not sacrifice all of you!" The woman diverted her gaze to her. "And how did you know?" she asked while raising her left brow. "Because I'm one of the servants of the Gods. I am the guardian of the chosen one, and I know the whole story," Leanna stated while the woman stared at her with wide eyes. "So you're one of their accomplices? And you planned all of this just to know our whereabouts and sacrifice our lives once again? I really can't believe that the Gods could be that selfish! "No! I just want you to know the truth!" "We already know what the truth is!" the woman insisted."When we met the dark immortals earlier they told us that the reason why you hid yourselves down here, is that you are all selfish. But I did not believe them, because I don't want to judge someone without even knowing the truth. I just hope you will do the same with the God

    First Person's POV; "ZION!" I heard Diane screaming Zion's name. She must've been worried about him but the big question in my mind right now is, why would Zion risk his life to protect me? I stared at his eyes but still I could not see any emotion from it. He's still as cold as ice. "Your highness ,you better not forget our mission. Don't be so careless, or you might get yourself killed," Stefan said and Zion automatically let go of me. It's as if he was burned or something. "Are you okay Ana?" Diane asked as she hurriedly run towards me. Lyndon and Leanna did the same thing and they started checking if I got wounds or bruises. "I'm fine guys, you don't have to worry about me," I told them with a smile. The three of them stared at Zion with confusions written all over their faces. They were probably thinking on why the hell would Zion save my life, when he's obviously one of our enemies wishing for my death. Well, I wonder the same thing though. Maybe it

    *First Person's Pov*Our journey to the North side of the forest lasted for two dark days. We were all exhausted when we reach the pear plantation.The place was serene and just like the other side of the forest, we did not see even a single animal walking around. All we could see through the tiny light of the moon are tall pear trees with fruits shining as it's touched by the moonlight."How are we going to find the white oracles here? All that's here are pear trees," Diane said frustratingly."Haven't you heard what Leanna told us before we came here? Pears are what the white oracles eat. So I'm pretty sure we're going to find one here!" Lyndon told Diane with a glare. I can't believe these two are starting to have their quarrels again."Guys please just be quite. We're not trying to let them know we're here and run off, aren't we?" I hushed them out."Sorry Ana, it just that there's some grinch over here!" Diane rolled her eyes at Lyndon."So you dare to say that I'm a grinch?

    *First Person's POV*Just by looking into his eyes I realised how much I've longed for him. And in a split second I found myself drowning in the valley of his gaze as I danced with the rhythm of my heart. I don't need a love like Romeo and Juliet's, nor of Edward and Bella. What I want is a unique and pure love whom I can call my own."Zion," I mumbled as the wind gently blows, touching his face. He stared at me emotionless, it's as if he doesn't even know who I am. How come? I thought our love was unforgettable. But it seems like I'm the only one who thinks that way."Oh my dear cousin." I was pulled out from my fantasies when I heard my cousin's voice."Amira? What are you doing here?" I asked her in disbelief. Don't tell me, that she and Zion came here together? My questions were answered when she clung to Zion's arms and smirked at me."Oh my dear cousin, it seems like you have fallen in love with someone you don't know," she told me with a smirk."What are you talking about

Velion shouted angrily after receiving the news from the raven he sent to follow Princess Ana Mae."I did not know that they could easily know the secret on how to defeat those spirit knights," Amira said in disbelief. Velion stared at her angrily and she nervously swallowed the lump in her throat."And you! You're a coward! You should've fought with her instead of leaving those spirit knights alone!" he yelled at her. "You could've defeated her since I have given you a lot of powers. But you're still useless!""I'm sorry my king, I promise to do my job better next time. Just please don't punish me," she begged. She's too scared to be killed. She don't want to die without avenging her mom. Besides, all her efforts would be in vain if Velion would kill her now."Surely you will. Because if you fail this time, I will kill you without having a second thought," he warned her. "I promise my king, just tell me what you wan

    *First Person's POV* The woods were covered with darkness and just like when we first entered this forest, we did not see even a single animal. Not even a chirp from a bird could be heard. "It's getting creepier in here," Diane whispered to me while biting her nail. It's some kind of mannerism for her whenever she fell nervous. "I know but we still have to travel to the North part of this forest. We need to find the white oracles as soon as possible," I told her. And with the tiny light from the moon, I saw her pout. "Yeah but don't you think we need to rest a bit? Those dark spirit knights drained all my strength," she complained which made me chuckle. "I think you're right. After all we're all exhausted after that intense fight ,we all deserve to rest," I agreed with her. "Let's look for a safe place to camp," Lyndon suggested. We all agreed and look for a safe place to stay. Leanna walked farther from us so she could check if the area is safe.

    "What shall we do now?" Diane said in panick. They were on their way to Alectrona's home on top of the mountain.They were walking on the dark woods and there's not even a sign of life there. It seems like even the animals were hiding because they're too afraid of the never ending night. "If we see Alectrona there, it would be the best option for us to bring her with us to the heaven realm, but if she's no longer herself then we have to prepare to defend ourselves," Leanna reminded everyone."She's right, we have to be prepared for anything," Lyndon added."And where the hell do you think you're going?" A cold voice from behind suddenly spoke."Who's that?" Princess Ana shouted as she motioned everyone to ready their weapons. Lyndon took out his sword while Diane prepared her bow and arrow. Leanna stood infront of Princess Ana to protect her from sudden attacks."HAHAHAHAHA how rude of you my dear cousin. You seem to be forgetful nowadays. It's bad."All of a sudden Princess Ana reme

She looked around to check for someone following her but the woods were silent and all she could hear is the sound of the night owl."I know there's somebody following me," she said to herself. She could feel a dark aura behind her and it's making her nervous. She took out her sword to prepare herself from possible attacks."HAHAHAHAHAHA stupid Alectrona, don't tell me your powers are not that strong anymore? Why don't you call the sun to come out to help you find me." She felt goosebumps when she heard an evil voice behind her. The voice is so familiar to her."VELION!" she shouted angrily.

The prophecy might be wrong, or maybe my mortal parents found a different child and I'm not really the Goddess of Love's daughter. And just when I thought I disappointed everyone, I saw hope on their faces when I opened my eyes. They all believe in me, and I should be doing the same thing to myself."I can do this!" I encouraged myself before I closed my eyes once again.I thought about everyone, about the two worlds that I need to protect from Velion's greed. And in my vission I saw the children's innocent faces, couples living a happy life together, trees, animals. Everyone is living a happy and peaceful life, and I could not afford to fail them. They all deserve a life like that and it will all depend on me. I'm the chosen one and I should believe that the prophecy chose me because I am strong and capable."Wow they're beautiful!"
