She couldn't see it and so she lifted her hand bag upside down and offloaded its contents onto the floor. She then started scattering them about looking on and spotting what she was looking for she gasped. It was the card Gorette gave her of The Winding Times clock shop and giving it a big kiss Loque Bella then stood up and rushed out of her apartment.
Outside, she ran down the street to The Winding Times clock shop and burst in. There were clocks of different shapes, sizes and colours ticking away on the shelves and looking around for a bit, Loque Bella walked further in and approached the empty front desk.
"Hello?" she called out and hit the bell. "Hello!"
"Coming," a voice said from the back door and a moment later someone walked out of it. It was Gorette; not at all looking the way she was looking the last time she saw her but clean and elegantly dressed like she w

Loque Bella blinked and she was back in the forest of Monteg with Prince Callum's sword in her hand and pierced through the back of King Remine. He gave out a loud shout and pierced right through his heart, it was just the blow needed to knock him completely down and it did just that.She pulled the sword out of him and gallons of black blood trickling out of his mouth, King Remine fell to the ground on one knee."Stupid girl! Stupid girl! Do you know what you have done?" King Remine said."I have ended you," she said."How dare you? You cannot end me. You are not worthy to end me. Stupid girl. The plans that I have, I refuse this to be my end. This will not be my end. You will heal me moon essence, you will heal me this instance.""I will do no such thing.""Heal me now!""Ah!" she shouted and pierced him through his chest, right through his heart again. He gave out another loud shout and pulling the sword out, King Remine then fell
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon Oh my goodness . . . Prince Mangus
Loque Bella's world went black and quiet. But in that blackness she began to hear something in the distance; a sound that got closer and louder. It was the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.Suddenly opening her eyes, light came to them. Her vision was blurry for a few seconds but then it started to clear up.She was lying on her back with her eyes on the celing. She was in a house by the looks of it a small house, sleeping on a small mattress on the floor.Loque Bella sat up. She looked through the window at the wind blowing through the trees and then around the room. There was a double bed to her left, a closet in the corner where clothes were hung and neatly folded and a staircase leading downstairs.She looked at herself. Her hands first and then down at her chest, placing her hand right where King Remine's sword pierced through her flesh even and just sat there to herself for a good while with a wondered look on her face.What was ha
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon His life needed to be saved
It was an hour later and Loque Bella was upstairs in the bedroom sitting on her mattress crying to herself. Thinking more to herself about how and why she ended up where she was and completely broken by the fact that she might never see Prince Callum ever again. Just then Marius walked up the stairs with a small tray in his hand; on it was a plate of buttered bread and a cup of tea and placing it on the floor next to her mattress, he then sat down on the bed as a good amount of silence swept. "Are you alright?" he asked. "Of course I'm not alright. I'm wherever the heck I am and I can't go back. You are not who I know you to be and if I meet Prince Callum or any of the others they'll probably not be who I know them to be either so it's over. My life is over. I can't go back and I'll probably be stuck here and miserable for the rest of my life. I don't even know if I have a family here. Family? My father and my sisters, gosh, for the first time in my life I fe

Night time came and at the dining table, Loque Bella and Marius sat eating dinner; lamb soup and freshly baked bread with a glass of water on the side.Marius was eating but Loque Bella was just sitting there playing with her food; with her eyes puffy from having cried the whole day."You should eat," Marius said."I'm not hungry," Loque Bella responded."You need to eat so that you can gain your strength.""Strength for what? Strength to do what? With me so completely far away from home it's as good as being dead. I should have just stayed dead.""No. You don't mean that," he said."Yes I do. I'd rather be dead than be here wherever here is.""That's not a very nice thing to say.""No it's not but I don't want to be here. I'm sure Quentin is a lovely place but it is not my home and I want to go home. And if I can't go home and here is where my life is now then I don't want it and I would rather be dead than stay here aw
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon I had nothing and I was a nobody
The following day came and Marius took Loque Bella to go and see Ludrin. He lived in a cottage; just like the one he and his family lived in but smaller and it was located a good distance from the village by the banks of a small river.They arrived riding on a horse and got down to meet Ludrin who was sitting under a tree smoking a pipe.Quentin was a kingdom that resembled Hampshen but was smaller and far less advanced; their houses were made of wood and the people wore very simple and dull coloured clothes."Ludrin?" Marius said and Ludrin turned to them. "Good morning.""Uh Marius, a good morning to you too," Ludrin said and stood up to meet them. He was a seventy something year old man with a bushy white beard."How are you?""I am very well thank you. And yourselves?""We're good thank you," Marius responded."And who do we have here?""This is a friend. Her name is Loque Bella.""Lovely to meet you my dear,"
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon What if she tells me I can't go back
Night time fell and Loque Bella and Marius sat at the dining table having dinner; mushroom soup."I think that went very well," Marius said."Did it?" Loque Bella went."Yes, I told you he was going to help you.""Did he really?""He gave you Gorra's name.""Yes this Gorra woman who may or may not help me," she said."She will help you. All you have to do is convince her and she will.""And what if I don't? What if I can't do the one thing that is going to determine whether I get back to my time or not?""You will," he said."You don't know that.""You don't know she won't help you either; we just have to get to Miings and do the best we can because like Ludrin said it's either that or nothing. If you don't manage to convince her then it is done.""Wow no pressure. Goodness this is all too much. It's too much. What is going on? Why am I here? How am I here?" Loque Bella asked."Loque Bella, ha
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon I died
Morning came and Loque Bella and Marius were back on the road; continuing with their journey to Miings and only a few hours into the morning they finally arrived.A small village with huts scattered about here and there and with one in the far distance in the forest where Gorra's hut was.They rode through the village and Marius pulled the cart up in front of her hut. It was quiet and had creeping plants growing on the walls and roof and overgrown grass all around."Is this it?" Loque Bella asked."The man said to keep coming down this way until we saw a hut and there it is," Marius said."But look at it, it looks like no one lives here.""It does look quite deserted. But we asked him if she was around and he said she doesn't move much so she must be inside.""Alright and is it safe for us to just walked up to the door and knock?" she asked."He didn't say anything about her being dangerous so we should be fine.""Should
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon The Harborage of Embellishment
Night fell and outside the hut they had rented for the night, Loque Bella and Marius sat on the ground around a fire; both with blankets over them and taking in the quiet of the night, with distance looks on both their faces."How are you doing over there?" Marius asked."I certainly could be better," Loque Bella responded. "I knew what she was going to tell me I had to do was going to be hard but I didn't think it was going to be this hard. Journeying through a hot desert against the blazing sun to reach an oasis that no living soul has ever been to sounds like one of the hardest things I'll probably ever have to do.""It is. The desert is so hot and vast that people who have attempted to cross it and come out the other end . . . Have never been seen again. Goodness I didn't even think there was anything alive in there, an oasis for that matter, if I hadn't heard everything else it would have easily been the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon I do
Back in the snowy forest of Monteg, Prince Callum was sitting on the ground holding Loque Bella's cold and beginning to freeze corpse in his arms with both he and Mr. Braun were crying."Let her be your highness, she's gone," Mr. Braun said."No she's not. She can't be gone. I . . . I love her, she can't be gone," Prince Callum said."I am so sorry.""She was the one Mr. Braun. You how sometimes you know things just by looking at them?""I do yes," Mr. Braun said."When I looked at her I knew she was the one. I just knew it. Looking into her eyes I saw my whole future in it and now that future will never be.""Your highness I am so sorry.""There has to be something we can do," Prince Callum said. "There has to be a way for us to bring her back.""Your highness please you are making this very hard on yourself.""She can't be gone Mr. Braun. She can't. I love her and I need her," he said and looked down at Loque Be
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon Oh my gosh there it is . . . I found it
The creature flew out of its nest and seeing its massive size, Loque Bella shrunk to the size of a pea. It was a giant pterodactyl with the feathers of a snowy owl; squawking and flapping its large wings."Oh my goodness oh no," Loque Bella said looking at it fly on. It then turned and began flying towards her and seeing it coming straight for her, her heart dropped right out of her chest.She screamed and began climbing, as fast as she could, as behind her the creature homed in on her.Its sharp beak was aimed at her and was going to stab her right through the back had she not let go and fallen a few vines down just in the nick of time.The creature like lightning turned its body to the side and flew on as Loque Bella saw it go and continued climbing."Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!" she said as she climbed; Gorra had nothing but terrible words to say about the pterotus and it was out to get her. Not good.It turned in the air and flew d
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon Oh my dear goodness
It was a couple of hours after midnight and the full moon still shining its bright light, Loque Bella in her moon essence form flew through the night sky in the direction of the Harborage of Embellishment. She had left Marius behind and it was a decision that cut her up. It reminded her of the heart ache that came to her when she saw Prince Mangus dead and what he put himself through just to ensure her safety and that just made her leaving Marius behind even more painful. The desert was dangerous and he was out there by himself, what had she done? With what they had faced, she couldn't believe that she had left him but she had to. Leaving meant he could have her portion of food and water which would give him another day but still that was not good enough; hunger and thirst were not the only things that could kill him out there, there were the creatures also. And what if one of them attacked him? They barely survived going up against them the two of them what more by himself?
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon Oh my gosh . . . It's a sandstorm
A new day came and Loque Bella and Marius continued making their way through hot bareness to the Harborage of Embellishment.Walking on suddenly Marius stopped and turned his head to the side."What?" Loque Bella asked."Did you hear that?" he asked."Hear what?""I think I just heard thunder.""Thunder," she said and looked up. "That's not possible there's not a single cloud in the sky.""It didn't come from the sky.""Then where did it come from?" she asked and Marius ran to his left and began climbing the large dune. "What are you doing?"He climbed on and when he reached the top his blood ran cold."Oh my goodness," he said."What? Marius what is it?" Loque Bella asked and ran up the very dune to see what he was looking at. She reached the top, with him just standing there with a blank expression on his face, and when she saw what had gotten him so spooked, the same expression came over her face.
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon It's so much
The sun rose over the dunes and brought forth a new day and walking on across the hotness Loque Bella and Marius carried on; now with only one bag with the things they needed to survive.There was a large dune in front of them and when they climbed it hoping to see something in the distance that would give them relief, it gave them the opposite feeling; they both gave out heavy sighs and threw their heads down, there was nothing out there but dunes, dunes and more dunes."Goodness gracious, I don't know how much more of this I can take. I am so tired," Loque Bella said heavily breathing, with her fur cloak stained with dried up blood and washed in dirt to keep the blood from being smelled by any nearby predators."We'll get there don't worry," Marius said with his bag on his back."Get where? We don't even know where we're going.""Yes we do. The Harborage of Embellishment.""Yes but we don't even know if it's out here," she said."Of
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon I hope I do not frighten you
Marius crouched on through the tunnel following the bloody drag marks and finally came to the end of it. The tunnel came out into a large open area and standing up straight he then took off his bag and secured it in a secluded corner and began looking around for Loque Bella.He was about to shout out her name when just then he heard a squeal coming from the darkness; a squeal that made him hide the oil lamp under his cloak and hit the ground.There were large rocks and bolders scattered across the area and these were what Marius used to hide himself from the creature; popping his oil lamp in and out from underneath his cloak to see where he was going and not lose track of the bloody drag marks."Loque Bella," he whispered out to her but the only thing that responded was the creature that gave out another squeal. Quickly he hid the oil lamp and sat quiet as somewhere in the area the creature ran around; with the sound of its many legs hitting the ground like a sm
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon I think there's something underneath the sand
The following day came and Loque Bella and Marius carried on. From walking across the hard ground of the desert they found themselves entering the loose sand portion of it with dunes of different shapes and sizes scattered across the area, as far as the eye could see."Goodness and now the real hard part comes," Marius said."We have to get across all that?" Loque Bella asked."Yes we do. And there's no sign of trees anywhere so I'm guessing we have double this ground to cover.""Great.""Come on let's go. Let's see if we can cover a good amount of ground before the overhead sun comes upon us and makes our day.""Alright," she said and they began making their way across the loose sands of the desert; continuing with their journey through the bare hotness to the Harborage of Embellishment where Loque Bella's last chance to return to her lover and family lied.Hours later the sun was directly overhead and was at its meanest; as below it
Loque Bella; The Essence of the Moon Of course I'm scared
The sun rose bringing forth a new day and Loque Bella and Marius were off. They had bags on their backs filled with the things they needed, their skin painted with thick white paint, their faces too, fur cloaks over their clothes to shield them from the sun, fur boots to protect them from the hot sand and their weapons on their belts; a sword and knives.The sun blazed on and on they walked on the hard bare desert ground; making sure to build their tent and rest every three hours to quench their thirst, rest their feet and paint on a fresh coat of white paint."Goodness no wonder the people who venture into here are never seen again, the sun is brutal," Loque Bella said; with the both of them breathing in and out heavily trying to catch their breaths."Yes. Either the sun got them or other things did," Marius said."Right.""Scared?""Of course I'm scared. There are creatures out here that are going to attack us and we have no idea what they
