*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 them," the prince answered and stepped inside the dark portal.
Steffan shook his head disappointedly and followed him.Dark smoke appeared inside the portal and for a few seconds they are already standing infront of the palace of darkness that was surrounded by dark clouds and smoke. "Your highness, I'm afraid of what the king will do to you," Steffan said worriedly.Prince Zion patted his shoulders before he spoke, "Whatever punishment he have for me, I am willing to accept it. Even if it's death. Because from now on, I no longer want to betray my heart.""Even if it means betraying your own father?" Steffan asked that made prince Zion drown on his thoughts.
Is he really betraying his father by choosing love? That's the question that's bugging his mind right now. Why would it be wrong to choose love over hatred?
"ZION!" The roaring voice of his father echoed the whole place as soon as they reach the throne room.
Steffan started to feel nervous while Prince Zion remained calm. Steffan just wanted the ground to swallow him right away.
"Father," Prince Zion greeted his father and bowed down infront of him.King Velion's eyes is full of hatred. He stood up from his throne and attacked his son. He punched the prince's face multiple times."Your majesty please stop it. Don't hurt your son," Steffan begged him. But Velion is too angry to listen to him. Instead he struck him with his power causing Steffan to bump on the palace wall and spit blood.Prince Zion saw it and he felt really sorry for involving him in his failures when all he did was to support him."Father, please don't hurt Steffan. It was my fault only!" he begged while wiping the blood on his face using his hands."Do you think I'm not aware of everything?" King Velion shouted as his fist landed on his son's handsome face again."You are my son! My blood runs in your veins! How could you be so stupid! How could a prince of darkness listen to his heart instead of his own father!" he shouted angrily.Prince Zion tried his best to stans up and face his father.
"I'm not like you! And I will never be like you! My heart is not as dead as yours!" he reasoned out causing his father to be more mad at him.Velion created dark smokes in his hands and struck it directly into his son's heart.
"Arrrrrcccckkkkkkk" Prince Zion shouted. He felt his own heart burning.
"Prince Zion!" Steffan shouted. He no longer want to see the prince suffering. He wanted to help him, but what could a wizard like him do against the king of darkness? Even his own son is helpless against him!
"The heart that caused your weakness will die on my will! You will no longer feel love from this moment on! Hatred will now live within you forever!" Velion's evil laughter echoed the whole kingdom of darkness.
"From now on, you will feel nothing but hatred my dear son." Those were the last words Prince Zion heard from his father before the darkness slowly take over his body.

"Thousands of immortals are infected by the dark spell. They are all under Velion's control!" Hera, the queen of the Gods said worriedly.
All the Gods and Goddesses were gathered in the throne room because of the bad situation. Velion started to invade some villages where some white immortals live. He put them under his spell and filled their hearts with hatred."What are we going to do now? Even Aphrodite can't bring them back to normal," Hestia said worriedly."I think it's time, we need the ember of love and the chosen one," Zeus announced. All the Gods and Goddesses stared at him with hopes on their faces. Especially Aphrodite and her husband. They longed for their child for such a very long time, and that they will finally see her again."I think you're right Zeus. We need Hermes to go to the mortal world to pass our message," Poseidon, the God of the ocean and Zeus's brother stated.Zeus turned to face the messenger God and his son Hermes."Explain everything to her mortal parents. And most importantly you need to keep her safe until she returned her," Zeus warned him.
"I will father!" Hermes then flew into the air.All the Gods and Goddesses stared at him with hopes on their faces."Finally, my daughter will be back! I've been dying to hug her once again," Aphrodite said happily.
"She grew up as beautiful as you mother," Eros said with a smile."And she will be as loving as you my dear daughter," Zeus added that made Aphrodite more happy and proud of her daughter."And as brave as you, father," she said and Zeus laughed hard."Of course! She's the chosen one and she has the blood of a deity," Zeus said proudly."But she grew up in the mortal world, and she's not even aware of her power and the danger that awaits her when she face Velion," Athena blurted out that made Aphrodite worried."A part of my heart wants to be happy that my daughter is back but I can't be very happy. I'm afraid of all the obstacles that she's going to face," Aphrodite said with tears in her beautiful eyes.
Her husband held her hand and gently squeezed it to comfort her."We will be with her. I will sacrifice my own life just to protect her," her husband promised."We will all protect her," Hera added to stop Aphrodite from worrying.
"Athena will taught her on how to use weapons, while Artemis will guide her on power control. She will be fine," Zeus comforted his daughter.He knows that his grandchild's life is at stake but he strongly believes that the prophecy did not choose her for nothing. And he will be with her as she fulfill her mission to end Velion.
*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,"
After a long night of longing Princess Ana decided to walk around the garden when she wakes up the next day.The flowers here are quite different from those growing in the garden of Citrine but they still give her the same feels. Ever since she was young, she enjoys the company of flowers so much. She felt relaxed whenever she's surrounded by them."Flowers always have a way to comfort a weary heart." She heard someone spoke behind her. She turned around to be met by a beautiful lady with long and curly hair. She's wearing a beautiful smile."Who are you?" She asked. She did not see her with the Gods when she and her friends arrived yesterday.The beautiful lady chuckled and as if on cue, the wind blows to her direction making her emerald green dress dance with her hair. The flowers seem to be dancing as well."Sorry for my rudeness, I am Persephone, your cousin." Ana Mae stared at her with wide eyes. She can't believe she's standing infront of the Goddess of Spring and that she's ta
(Princess Ana Mae's Pov;)After eating the delicious breakfast prepared by my mom, me and my friends headed to the training room for our training with aunt Athena."The battlefield is not a place to play around, it's a place were you would fight for your life and for your comrades. It is not a place where you could smell the sweet scent of flowers but the place covered with the smell of blood. You will not hear a bird's chirp but your ears will be covered by agonies and crys for help. It is a paradise for those who are strong but a living hell for those who are weak," Aunt Athena explained to us. She waved her hand and in a split second, we found ourselves dressed in golden armours."Wow! We're like heavenly soldiers! The one I saw on movies!" Diane exclaimed making Lyndon laugh."Here you go again with your movies," Lyndon mocked her."You idiot erotic Prince!" Diane glared at him while I just stared at them trying to hide my laughter."Focus on your training! Like I said earlier, th
(First Person's POV;) Our training with aunt Athena was quite tough. But we did our best to learn everything that she instructed us to do. Because it's for everyone's sake. "Now, I want you to spar with each other," she said that made us all nervous. The three of us stared at each other nervously. "This is it Ana Mae! You've got no time to waste, you've got two worlds to save!" I encouraged myself. "First, Lyndon and Diane." Diane swallowed the lump in her throat three times after hearing that she and Lyndon will be the first pair to spar. While Lyndon just smirked at her making me laugh silently. At first, their fight was in favor of Lyndon. But knowing Diane, she's not that easy to give up. Their fight caused her a lot of bruises that made her more persistent to win. She smirked as she ready herself to attack Lyndon. She's like a mad wolf ready to devour her prey. "Arrrrrrrghhhhhh" Diane started running towards Lyndon's direction and when they wer
*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
