Chapter 39

"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 remembered something. That voice, it's her cousin's voice!

"Amira?"

"HAHAHAHAHA binggo! You got it right pretty little cousin of mine."

"Amira! You're still as evil as before!" Leanna shouted angrily.

"HAHAHAHA and you? Still a servant like before? Pathetic boring life," she mocked her.

"Atleast she's on the right path!" Diane yelled at her angrily.

"Oh shut up brat! Who cares if you're on the right path or not! The only thing that you should care about is your lives. Because I'm going to kill all of you one by one! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Amira's evil voice echoed the whole place.

Dark knights appeared everywhere attacking Princess Ana and her friends.

"Now is your chance to prove yourself my dear cousin," Amira challenged her. "Oh and by the way, Alectrona is no longer here. You're just wasting your time because she's already one of us. She stays beside king Velion HAHAHAHA" the last words she said before her voice vanished.

"Arrrrrgghhh Amira I'm going to kill you!" Diane shouted angrily but it's too late because Amira already vanished.

They fought against the dark knights with all their might.

Diane created a poisonous arrow and struck the enemies one by one. While Lyndon used his powers to freeze the enemies who's trying to attack him.

Ana Mae and Leanna on the other hand fought side by side to defeat the enemy. But to their surprise, no matter how many enemies they have killed, still the number of the dark knights remained the same as it was when they first attacked them.

"They don't die," Lyndon said in panick.

"Yes they are like zombies returning back to life!" Diane added after shooting an arrow.

"What shall we do now your highness?" Leanna tried to ask for Ana Mae's opinion.

"If they don't die, that means they were turned to dark spirits," she said which made Leanna think for a moment.

"And dark spirits will only be defeated by light," she thought after smashing one enemy down.

"Your highess summon the white doves here!" Leanna told Ana Mae.

"For what reason?" Ana Mae was a bit curious on how the white doves could defeat their enemies.

"They carry heavenly light with them. The moment they showed up ,these bunch of dark spirits would disappear!" Leanna explained to her.

Ana Mae did not hesitate for another second. She closed her eyes while Lyndon, Diane, and Leanna protected her from possible attacks.

"Oh symbols of peace the ones who carry heavenly light please hear my plea come and defeat these monsters," she whispered. And in just a few seconds the white doves appeared and the heavenly light spread throughout the entire woods. Causing all the dark knights to vanish into thin air.

"We did it!" Diane shouted happily.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with team work," Princess Ana Mae said before she let the white doves go back to her necklace. The whole place was turned into complete darkness once again.

"What shall we do next? According to that witch Amira, Alectrona is no longer here. She's also infected with the dark spell," Diane exclaimed.

"We still have one option left, we have to meet the white oracles and convince them to take our side," Leanna suggested.

"Let's go then!"

"No your highness, it's not that easy to win their hearts. The white oracles are isolating themselves from the issues of the immortal world. They don't want to be in trouble. I guess there's nothing we could do to convince them," Leanna said in a sad tone. She knows that white oracles will not sacrifice themselves so it's going to be a hard task for them.

"Well, at least we have to try," Princess Ana uttered with hopeful eyes.

"She's right! Maybe we could do something to convince them, we just have to try," Lyndon added.

"Where can we find this white oracles?" Diane asked Leanna.

"They live on the most secluded part of this forest. Far from everyone and from the enemies. In fact no one knows how to get there. They are so careful with letting others know about their exact location," Leanna stated which made everyone hopeless, well except for Princess Ana of course. Because she's really determined to find them in whatever possible way.

"I don't think there's no way for us to find them. We just have to think carefully," she suggested.

Leanna thought for a second, then she remembered that white oracles only eat pears. And the only place where pears grow is the north side of the forest.

"I think I know where to start!" Everyone stared at her waiting for her to reveal her plan.

"We have to go to the north side of this forest where there are a lot of pears growing," she told everyone.

"Then, what are we going to do with those pears?" Diane asked trying to figure out what she's up to.

"White oracles only eat white pears throughout their lives. I'm pretty sure we are going to find a white oracle there and we could follow him secretly to reach their place," she suggested.

"That's a bright idea Leanna!" Princess Ana complimented her.

"You're so cool Leana," Lyndon praised her as well.

"Unlike someone here," he added trying to mock Diane.

"Are you pertaining to me?" Diane irritatedly asked him.

"What if I do? What are you going to do?" he challenged her. And before they could even start fighting, Princess Ana Mae stopped them.

"Guys, we're in a serious situation and we need serious solutions not some nonsense arguments," she told them.

"Sorry," the two said in unison before they glared at each other.

"Let's go, Leanna will lead the way for us."
