After a few mins of washing off and dressing, the only thing he had managed to learn, he strode out but met his father halfway, already heading to him. "Father," he called and bowed. "You kept me waiting, son! And you know how much I detest that!" God Poseidon glared at him furiously making him shiver. "I'm sorry father, forgive me." He hurriedly apologized and dropped his head. "It's ok, the Goddess asked for your presence in her kingdom before nightfall. The royal chariots are ready, you know how she detests being kept waiting so do well to be there before nightfall. Perhaps, she might have good news for you." "Ok father, I'll leave at once," he replied, bowed, and walked away. PRINCE LOGAN The goddess summons me, wow! Isn't this day bright all of a sudden? I know the Queen won't be calling me for any other thing but my wedding with the princess. Perhaps I'll have my way and sleep in her chambers today, marking her as mine. "Such a good plan!" I whispered and smiled. CHRIS
"I know by now he won't wanna help any ghost and might even pretend he doesn't see you so you must do all you got to make him notice you so that you can take control over him and bring him here. Cry if you have to, he has a weakness for tears. "He can't bear the sight of a crying lady without wanting to help and he's so pure at heart, use his meekness against him. "I hate failure daughter. If you fail, your head will be served as food to mother earth." "I understand father, I won't fail you, I promise." "Ok then, I'll hold you to your word. You leave by midnight tomorrow, be ready." "Ok, father, Thank you, your majesty. I'll take my leave now," she bowed and walked away. PRINCESS ARIEL This is my chance to prove to my father that I'm truly his daughter and that I can handle ghostly matters. I am so happy I'll get to meet this legend and be the one to send him to his untimely death and eternal suffering. Just like Delilah led Samson to his death, I'll need him to his death. I
PRINCESS ARIEL How could he push me off that way? He didn't even spare me a glance! I'm so pained right now! But I am not giving up. I'll keep disturbing him till he eventually agrees to help me. Now I realize why the sea princess is madly in love with him, he's such a cute guy. Even though he kept an angry expression throughout. But then again, I know my tears had a touch on him, it was so visible in his eyes. He tried so much to hide it but yet I saw it, that's a bonus. I will go back tomorrow and next and next till I get him. Meanwhile, who was that girl hovering over him when I was leaving? Well, it's none of my business. * Just as princess Isabella left her room with Lord Agag prince Logan entered. If she had wasted a few more seconds, they would have collided. ISABELLA I had my way with the guards keeping charge at my door and left my room to go beg my mum for the last time when I heard whispers from the maids that Logan was here and was having a discussion with the G
As Chris stepped out of the house, princess Ariel followed him. Being a special one, no matter how hard she hid, he noticed he was being followed by a ghost but continued walking not minding her. His thoughts were that she will go back once she noticed that he didn't still want to have anything to do with her. But Ariel as a very stubborn ghost didn't give up, she already knew he was avoiding her and also knew the best thing to do was go back to her kingdom. But then, she was not ready to have her head cleaved from her shoulders. When Chris couldn't take it anymore, he turned with anger but she was quick to hide. "Come out now, ghost, or forever hold your peace," he said in a language only Ariel could understand because of so many passersby. As usual, he wasn't ready to have people thinking he was mad. Princess Ariel came out from her hiding place, a smile plastered on her cute shiny face. "Why are you following me and what do you want?" Chris asked in a calm tone, surprising Ar
CHRIS "Mum, I got you Ice cream!" I called out to mum as I entered the house. "Drop it on the dining table, son, I'll come get it once I'm done," she replied, the sound of her voice coming from the kitchen. "Ok, mum, I'll be in my room, I wanna shower!" "OK, I'll be done with the dishes before you're done ok?!" "Ok, mum." Walking into my room, I perceived the scent of that ghost I chased away earlier. "What are you doing in my room?" I asked, knowing she was hiding somewhere. "I honestly need your help. Please listen to me." Her voice rang. "Show yourself." She appeared in shiny wear, looking so beautiful, much more beautiful than Isabella but I didn't give her the impression I was actually admiring her. "What are you doing here, thought I told you to leave?" "Chris, I got nobody else," she mumbled, dropped to her knees, and broke down in tears. "Please help me." "What do you want me to do Ariel?" "I want you to escort me to a certain cave in the south, that's all. I ju
CHRIS I felt her presence immediately after she entered again and knew she used her power to go into her second invisible form. I guess she didn't know that I received so many gifts and curses after my journey with Isabella. There are so many more things I could do now. And that was one of them. I gave her the chance to leave and pretended like I couldn't see her but she was just staring at me like she wanted to eat me. "What is wrong with all these girls?" I'd asked myself. I waited and waited yet she wasn't leaving so I decided to find out what she was up to. I bent down as if I wanted to pull off my shorts and her eyes widened more. I had to shout at her so she knew I could see her and that was when I looked at her. She must be so startled and still speechless at the fact I saw her. I entered my bathroom, putting the thoughts of troublesome ghost aside. Yea, that's her nickname from now. I finished bathing, picked up a few things I'll be needing, and left my room only to mee
LONELY PATH Chris and Ariel could be seen entering a lonely path. A territory of the spirits of nature. "What are you doing here, special one?!" A sudden voice from a tree barked. "Don't you know no mortal crosses this path?" Another voice from a rose flower added. "Do you think of yourself as the king of nature now?" A deep baritone voice from a Gmelina tree also queried. "We will teach you a lesson for disrespecting us and thinking yourself worthy to cross the path of the spirits and no one will save you." "I didn't kno–" Chris tried saying but before he could finish his statement, branches of the trees went round about him and tied his neck and all parts of his body but spared the princess. "Why do you spare the girl?" He inquired, his strength slowly leaving him. "We don't harm ladies legend and she's no mortal but a ghost." "I am on a mission to help her, please let me go," he whimpered, and a tear dropped from his eye. Please I'm harmless, I'll cross in peace." He kept p
PRINCESS ARIEL I'm happy and sad that he survived. Happy that he didn't die at the hands of the spirits of nature but sad because I am still leading him to his death. I tried warning him but he didn't give me a chance to. I don't think I can let him die. My body is already shaking in tension and terror at the thought of losing him. "Are you OK?" Chris asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Yea I'm fine." I shrugged off. "Are you sure?" He glanced all over me; from my head down to my toes. "Hope you're not hurt." "I'm fine, special one." "He's so caring, how can someone want to harm this excellent being" I whispered to myself getting lost in my thoughts. CHRIS "If I really died, does it mean Isabella is dead too?" I kept asking myself. Tears were in her eyes when I looked at her. "Heavenly being, please save my love." Troublesome ghost is acting strange as if she's hiding something or perhaps she is just scared because I almost died. I will protect her. I know that, so
