*Third Person's Pov*
Prince Zion and Stefan used teleportation spell to reach the palace. They went straight to the princess's room.
"Stefan, use invisibility spell and stay outside. Notify me if somebody is coming," Prince Zion told Stefan.
"Yes your highness." He bowed down his head and chanted the invisibility spell. Then he left the room, leaving prince Zion alone with the princess.
He walks towards the direction of the princess who's peacefully sleeping on her bed. He stared at her for a second and his tears started swelling in his eyes.
He caress his beloved's face.
"My beautiful sunshine, my pearl, the owner of my heart please forgive me for being selfish. I hope someday we will meet again and you will be able to forgive me." He planted small kisses on her forehead.
"The very first moment that I laid my eyes on you, I automatically fell for you. But fate was cruel to me, at that very moment my heart was torn apart with the reality that we will never be together. For you are destined to end our raise and my mission is to kill you. How ironic isn't it? I fell for you before I could even kill you," he said with sadness in his voice. He smiled bitterly and tears fall from his eyes.
He used his power to create glass fire. The most deadly and venomous fire. Only a few were born with this kind of power. Glass fire is the only fire that could kill immortals especially the half bloods. Half bloods are immortals with the blood of the Gods and Goddesses. Spells and other powers could hurt them but it can never kill them. That's exactly the reason why Princess Ana Mae did not die immediately even after being bitten by the most venomous snake. Only the glass fire has the ability to kill them in just a few seconds. The Gods and Goddesses killed the immortals who posses glass fire that's why it's rare to find someone who have this kind of power.
And just as when he was about to use it to kill the princess, a golden light appeared. He was shock and he automatically stood up. Whoever that person who created that golden light he's sure that it's one of the Gods and Goddesses.
The golden light started to form a humanlike figure. Then, a man with a golden armour and masculine body appeared. Prince Zion was shocked because the man looks exactly like Princess Ana Mae. He's like her male version! They have the same eyes, lips and even their jawline is the same.
"Who are you?" he asked trying to hide his shock expression. He knows that whoever this man is, he possesses a very powerful aura. But a Prince like him won't get defeated without a fight. He covered his body with blue fire and he could see the shock expression of the stranger.
"We're even!" Prince Zion whispered in his mind.
"Oh great! So you have the glass fire within you prince of darkness?" the stranger said in a mocking voice.
"WHO ARE YOU!" he shouted. How could this stranger ignore his question? The stranger smirked and chanted a spell.
"You're a wi...zard?" the prince asked while stuttering.
The stranger ignored him and continued to chant. In a few seconds, heart shaped rubies started to appear above his head.
"What are these rubies for? Are you gay?" The stranger chuckled and started to move forward.
"I thought you'd automatically know who I am by showing you my symbol. Those rubies are the ember of love. Whoever got those rubies will feel an everlasting and pure love. But my sister's ember possesses a much stronger love," the stranger explained.
The prince stared at him with wide eyes because of too much shock.
"Then you must be-" He wasn't able to continue his sentence because the stranger continued it for him.
"Eros, the God of Love. Son of Aphrodite and the warrior Adonis. Ana Mae's older brother!" Prince Zion was stunned with his answer. Now he's facing the God of Love himself!
"So you're here to protect your sister from me?" he asked as if challenging the God of Love.
"I don't have to protect him because your love will protect her," Eros explained.
"What are you talking about?" Prince Zion asked trying to look confused.
"I know that you're in love with my sister but you're trying your best not to betray your father." He claps his hands and the rubies vanished."Listen Prince of Darkness, your father's greed for power lead him to darkness. Everyone who possesses greed and hatred in their hearts has no room for love. But you are different, you have fallen for my sister! That only means your heart is not as dark as your father's. Listen to your heart because it will lead you to the right path," Eros continued.
"Love will just make you weak. Father told me that a prince must not show weakness!" Prince Zion exclaimed.
"Maybe, but love could also be someone's source of strength. My father fall for my mother even when they both know it's forbidden because a Goddess is never allowed to have relationship with a mortal. But their love made them stronger. They fought for their love even if they were not sure of the outcome. My mom lost my father because of it but I'm sure wherever he is right now, he's happy. Because even if it costs him death he still fought bravely for the woman she loves. They might not be able to have a happy ending but atleast they were once happy with each other and that's something that they will never regret. Love is worth fighting for, if you love someone learn how to fight for it without thinking about the possible outcome" Eros advised him.
Prince Zion was drowned into deep thoughts because of his words.
"So what are you trying to say then?" he asked confusedly.
"Go back to your kingdom and don't try to harm my sister again. Be happy that I'm doing you a favor, because you might regret your wrong decisions in the end. Whatever that's written in the prophecy will happen, whether you like it or not. So stop trying to change your father's fate, because you will end up burning yourself!" Eros warned him.
Prince Zion stared at Princess Ana Mae for a minute before he vanished. Now it's clear to him, love is something that he will not be able to defeat. Even the mighty warriors of the past drowned in it but they did not try to fight it, instead they fought for it.
Eros was left alone with her sister. He sat on her bed and gently kissed her forehead.
"Never think that you are alone my dear sister, because from now on I will stay beside you and protect you." He swayed his left hand then a vial appeared from it. He opens it and drops it directly on Princess Ana Mae's wound. Then a magic happened. The bruises in her body disappeared and her cheeks were back to it's normal pinkish glow."See you soon," Eros whispered before he disappeared.
*Amira's Pov* "Your highness the crown princess is already awake. The whole palace is celebrating!" Ashley told me when he entered my room. I'm currently fixing all my things because my 'oh so good' uncle decided to throw me out of the palace. "Stop calling me your highness! I'm already demoted! And as for that Ana Mae and all those annoying people in this palace, they have time to celebrate even if my mom just died yesterday?" I shouted angrily at her. "Your highness, you will forever be a princess in my heart. Wherever you go, just know that I will forever be with you," she assured me. "Thank you for your loyalty Ashley
Princess Ana Mae's POV; I woke up to the sweet scent of fresh jasmines and was greeted by my mom's worried face. She seems exhausted, her eyes are swelling and her lips were not as pinkish as before. My mom looks so pale and it looks like she haven't slept for days. "Sweety you're awake!" she screamed happily. There's a big smile plastered on her face. "Mom, you don't look good," I commented. She sighed and kissed my forehead. "I always look good when you're around my dear daughter," she said. "Mom, how long I've been sleeping?" I asked her. The last thing I remembered was the snake's bite on my skin.
*Third Person's Pov*"Your highness, how will we face your father after failing our mission?" Steffan asked Zion worriedly before they enter the portal that will bring them back to the kingdom of Darkness.The prince expected that question from him. But he's eager to protect the woman he loves and he can't do anything to harm her."Steffan, my father and I are two different persons. I know how to value love, unlike him who only care about power," the prince stated.Steffan's eyes widened. His fears are slowly happening. He feared that the prince would fall inlove and that it would be hard for him to kill the princess. And now it had just happened. They failed on their mission because of love."Your highness, love is a weakness," he tried to explained. But the prince stared at him and smile."But for some people, love is their source of strength. And I'm one of the
*Third Person's Pov* (Kingdom of Darkness)Darkness surrounded Amira in her sleep. Her heart is in deep pain and her hunger for revenge grew bigger day by day. Her past became her nightmare a nightmare that never stops haunting her even when she's awake.She slowly opened her eyes and heaved three deep breathes to calm herself. Days had passed since the day she was throwned out of the palace. The palace where she grew up and where her darkest nightmare happened, the death of her mother."You're finally awake." The dark witch Avion stood infront of her with a poker face."What's wrong? Why are you standing there like an idiot?" she asked irritatedly. She don't hate Avion because she's one of the dark immortals who gave her a new home, and a new life as well."Our Lord wants to talk to you. He said it's urgent," Avion explained.Amira nodded
*Third Person's POV;* Princess Ana Mae decided to walk around her mother's flower garden and appreciate the beauty of the different kinds of flowers that were planted in it. Every morning she loves feeling the sweet scent of flowers in the air. It makes her feel happy and amazed at the same time. Her mom, the Queen is staring at her with teary eyes. She feels really nervous and she have no idea where to start on telling her the truth about her real identity. She wants her to know the truth but she's afraid of losing her. Ana Mae was their only daughter, she became the heart and joy of their kingdom. But she knows that they couldn't keep her forever. While she's having these thoughts she felt someone hugged her from behind. It was her husband trying to comfort her. "My queen, we both know that we have no choice but to deliver the truth to her. The Gods won't be pleased if we refused on their order. You know we have no power against them," her husband explained.
"The ember of love will be back to destroy the darkness and pave a way for the light to shine again!" Both the queen and king were still shock after hearing their daughter's words and the thing that bothers them the most is the dangerous and powerful aura that they have sensed from her. "Darling are you okay?" the queen asked her daughter nervously. The princess stared at her for a second before she spoke. "I'm fine mom. Just feeling a little dizzy," she answered using a cold tone. The queen and king stared at each other with curiosity shown on their faces. "Do you want to take a rest first?" the king asked but the princess just gave him a smile. "I'm fine dad, a little dizziness is nothing compared to what the mortal and heaven realm will experience if Velion will continue to live," she answered. "What did those red strings showed you?" the queen asked with curiosity. "Everything about my mission and my real identity." "You al
"My king, the chosen one is on her way back to the heaven realm," one of Velion's dark guards reported to him while he's having a sip of his red wine.An evil smirk formed in his lips. "Did she really think that it would be too easy for her to go back?" He let out an evil laugh. "Sorry to disappoint you my dear chosen one, but you would have to experience hell first!" Velion's laughter echoed his chambers and the dark guard shivered in fear just by hearing his evil laughter. "What are your plans my Lord?" the guard asked nervously."Send the dark troops to the portal. Let us prepare a warm welcome for Aphrodite's dearest daughter. Something that will make her regret being the chosen one in the first place!" Velion ordered."Yes my Lord! I will do it right away!" the guard answered before he hurriedly left to gather the dark forces."Zeus, my dear old friend sorry but I have to disappoint you! Farewell to your so-called chosen one!" Then he started laughing like a mad man.*********
"Wow! Gods are really amazing!" Diane exclaimed and they all chuckled."Yes we are," Hermes said proudly."But not as amazing as the chosen one," Leanna said pertaining to Ana Mae. "What's so special about being the chosen one?" Ana Mae asked them. Leanna and Hermes stared at each other for a second and a smile formed on their lips."You'll know everything when we get to the heaven realm. I'm pretty sure everyone's waiting for you," Hermes told her. "But how long will it take before we arrive there?" Diane asked."Patience your highness, we'll be there in a few seconds." Hermes then waved his hand and a ray of light appeared. And before they could utter a word, they found themselves in another garden but this time the flowers and trees were all made of gold and diamonds."Wow!" everyone screamed as their eyes sparkle like diamonds."Welcome to Heaven Realm, the home of the Gods and Goddesses!" Leanna said with a wide smile on her face."Your home is as beautiful as you Ana Mae,"
*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
*Third Person's POV*"That chosen one is starting to piss me off!" 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
*Third Person's Pov*Alectrona the Goddess of the sun is on her way to her home on top of the mountain after having a chat with the Gods when all of a suddden she felt something strange around her. 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. "HAHAHAHAHA you got it right baby," the voice replied and in a split second she found herself being surrounded by dark smoke."You will never get me infected with your stupid miasma. NEVER!" she
*First Person's Pov*I've been like an idiot waiting for the rubies and doves to appear. 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!" I automatically opened my eyes when I heard Diane's words. And
