“H..hold on then, I will grab my power stick.” Tonsil said, not believing what she was about to do. She had risked her life to save these people after giving up months of her existence to be connected to their reality and the only barrier that had been consent, she was finally getting it, yet, she was throwing it all away.
The queen was involved in a different mission by now and even if she was not, she wouldn’t keep track of Tonsil’s steps because of Ash’s earlier display and so would care less that the mission had suddenly been reactivated.
She returned with what resembled an abandoned piece of an aged tree. It had drawings of Tonners that must have made significant impact to the lives in their time.
Tonsil took his hand in her free one and swam at a fast speed. “Come on, we haven’t got much time on our hands.” She warned. He, on the other hand was not looking forward to getting there. His bloody tears were drained by now but the mark was
"Third Chief Hugo's son is here." The servant went on her knees in announcement. Her white gown overflowing by her sides."Send him away." Fourth princess Kassy didn't turn around to meet the gaze of her faithful servant. She only raised her ornamented fingers in the air."But fourth princess, I don't have the power to do that." The servant bowed her head.That caught Kassy's attention. She turned around from her reflection in the mirror. "Can't you see I'm busy?" She was busy indeed. Getting dressed for Achu. Achu was from the world of water and their relationship was forbidden for so many reasons.One, Kassy was royalty and no royalty could mix with a commoner. Two, Achu was from the rival world. Kassy was from the world of fire.Achu sat on the princess' royal bed. It was made from the most expensive roses sewn together and transformed by the most professional fabric handlers in the wor
The king, Ramon, Kassy and Myan returned to the courtyard. The servants that had accompanied third chief Hugo's family bowed in acknowledgment at their entrance.The king folded his hands behind him, the excess length of his long robe was trailing behind him. He took his position on the throne."The fourth princess is here." Myan announced. Kassy sat on the red stool that was positioned beside the throne and crossed one leg over the other.Myan stood behind her princess, keeping her head lowered."Bring the presents." The king's right hand man ordered the servants of the third chief's family. The servants were dressed in a uniform green, denoting a special occasion.Two men with drums around their waist began to create a melodious tune as the servants stepped forward."Where is Sir Harry?" Kassy spoke in a low voice, so only Myan could hear her."It's part
"Father, you have to do something!" Kassy wailed on top of her voice. Not only had she been bugging him in the last hour, he was equally lost on what action to take. Thank goodness for the soundproof walls, the whole palace would have been up by now."I don't know what you want me to do." He shook his head honestly. "I'm just as devastated my dear." He called with a sigh.
Myan wondered what she was supposed to do. From the way the princess had acted when she told her to reject the strangest man's marital offer, she knew there had to be more to his normal looking self.She noticed that his hands were empty and after looking around the dead bear, she found no explanation as to how it was dead without weapons. There were so many questions she had to ask.
That night at the palace was the saddest, most silent one ever to be experienced. Myan didn’t have to bother with going to fetch Achu like the last time. He had come on his own accord at a time he knew was going to be free for him to wander without questioning. Kassy refused to eat nor talk to any member of the palace. She was strong headed and had placed a stric
Myan knew that crying was pointless but she couldn't help herself, although it was especially uncomfortable to see through glossy eyes and being unable to wipe her tears, she let it fall down her cheeks.The royal entourage were dressed in a fancy attire and even though they couldn't see her face through the beaded facial fence, she could easily read the discomfort in their eyes, seeing through those fake smiles and pretense.As was tradition, four guards bowed beside each corner of a mat that was sewn onto a square shaped wood. It resembled a carriage, except it had no roof, they referred to it as a Typh.Her servants helped her on to it. Myan wasn't used to having things done for her and found it extremely foreign. The guards lifted the carriage onto their shoulders and began to move to the event while drummers and dancers escorted them to the courtyard. There was so much merriment and it accompanied di
Myan remained still while Ash stepped forward. She was already crossing too many lines.Ash noticed that she wasn't moving with him and furrowed his eyebrows at her, "why aren't you moving?"Myan kept shaking her head in response. Ash was growing furious by the minute. He had no time for nonsense like this and was a man of time."Answer me, why aren't you saying anything?" He snapped at her for the umpteenth time.The king stood to his feet and hurried to intervene while murmurs filled the courtyard from every angle. "My lord, the fourth princess is not used to such an activity and she is only nervous." He walked up to Myan and placed his hands on her shoulder, "my dear, I know you're anxious but it will only last a minute." He tried to co
Ash began to pant heavily, moving closer to a terrified Myan. The scared servant took fearful steps backwards, sobbing hard and using her arms as a facial shield.He tossed the melted crown to the floor and repeated his words, "you are not the fourth princess!" He stamped his words with an angry roar.
“H..hold on then, I will grab my power stick.” Tonsil said, not believing what she was about to do. She had risked her life to save these people after giving up months of her existence to be connected to their reality and the only barrier that had been consent, she was finally getting it, yet, she was throwing it all away.The queen was involved in a different mission by now and even if she was not, she wouldn’t keep track of Tonsil’s steps because of Ash’s earlier display and so would care less that the mission had suddenly been reactivated.She returned with what resembled an abandoned piece of an aged tree.

He, on the other hand was not looking forward to getting there. His bloody tears were drained by now but the mark was
The Bingsols were equally thrown aback.Myan let out the loudest scream and let go of her control of the strange water-fire ball.It erupted and sent parts of it in all directions. Ash was smart enough to dodge it by an inch but it drowned the Bingsols and instantly melted them.The others that had been unaffected and had witnessed the instantaneous death knew there would be more where that came from and rather than try to attack, they chose to run for their lives instead.But that did not stop Myan. She created more of these balls and continued after the fleeing creatures. She was still high up and the wind that had been dramatically playing, was aiding the direction of her water-fire balls, speeding things up and crashing against their furry souls.Ash wanted to take cover, yet he couldn't stop watching the display of things.Even after the Bingsols had left, Myan kept it up with the melting phase, changing her target to the mountain
Tonsil gave a deep sigh of relief when she saw Ash walk out of that cave alive. He took his human form as soon as he met her gaze. His body was braced with bruises of all sorts all over and he shook his head at her, "come on." "I thought you had died in there with all of the noises I heard coming from over there, oh my God." Tonsil said, hoping he would come get his wife that was lying by her feet helplessly. "Is she conscious?" Ash asked, going on one knee and picking her up. "I do not know. She has made a few mumbling sounds but that has honestly been all." "Let's get out of here, who knows how many more of these dead creatures lurk around." He groaned, slinging Myan onto one shoulder. * "This is where I have to say goodbye." Tonsil announced as soon as they got to Vi stream. Ash didn't think he would miss her but he was somewhat grateful for the information that she had been kind enough to give to him. It wasn't very l
Ash did not stop to argue, instead, he swam right after a disappointed Tonsil. He ignored every look of disapproval she was showing.When they had swum a good distance away, Tonsil stopped swimming in front of him, blocking his path, "what was any of that madness about? What was the point? What was it all for? Why did you even ask me to take you along if you didn't even have to hear what she wanted to say?" She snapped at him, ignoring the passer-by that were spiked with obvious curiosity as they stared at the two."You think I wanted in on any of this?" Ash clenched his fists by his side, "I'm stronger than any of you seem to think, that's the problem. You think I need your help. As soon as she is with me, nobody, not a soul, a tonner, a bingsol, whatever other foolish creature, not one will have it in their power to take her from me, I assure you.""That's not the point! Yes, you might protect her from the evil holds of the Bingsols, but you cannot stop her power
At first, Ash was angered by the looks they were getting when they reached the underwater city. Tonners were whispering and staring, not caring that he could hear them. His anger faded when he remembered that he was a masculine figure and that was new for any of them.Fear soon overtook his thought process. What if everything Tonsil had said was the truth? The prophecy? What if Myan really was going to be a sacrifice?"How much longer?" He grunted, clenching his fists and squeezing his face into a frown."You don't have to worry, we will get there just in time." Tonsil read his mind, placed one hand on her shoulder to calm him."I don't need your words of comfort." He slapped her hand off. "Nothing can cause me worry because I wouldn't let anything happen to her." He said with assurance.Tonsil shook her head a little with a sigh, not uttering any more words.The underwater worl
Myan tried to gather what could be happening mentally but the scratches that bore her skin as the force pulled her feet down their mountain made her yelp in pain.Ash was nowhere to be seen so she knew that this was something she would have to figure out by herself.She tried to crane her head to look over her shoulder but there was nothing holding her. She couldn't see it but she could feel its touch.She was lucky to find a twig buried a few inches into the ground. Grasping onto it, she held tight, grunting as she tried to set herself free from whatever that was.It was only a matter of time before an even greater force was exerted and she was yanked forward, taking the twig with her, her scream fading with the wind...*Ash woke up the next morning feeling tired. It was as though he had not just woken from a long sleep, but had instead stayed awake the entire night."Myan?" He called with a lazy groan, stretching and getting out of
"Ash?" Myan called him aside when they had sent a servant to fetch the medicine man."Hmm?" Ash shifted into reality, previously lost in thoughts."Im worried about our visitor." She confessed and furrowed her eyebrows when she realised he was not paying any attention to her. "What are you thinking about?" She wondered."It is nothing, my mind just went back to Frost and what he could possibly be doing at the moment." He heaved a sigh."Why woujd you suddenly remember him?" Myan furrowed her eyebrows, "do you think he has some sort of connection with this lady?" She asked, sitting by his foot."No… I just remembered his punishment and felt a bit of pity for him if I'm being honest." Ash said."Punishment?" Now that he mentioned it, she realised she hadn't put full thoughts to Frost since the last time they saw. She had no thoughts for him. It was almost as if h
"Ash, who is that? What's wrong?" Myan frowned as she made her way to where he stood with an injured woman in his arms. Myan's first thoughts were Asha and it was reasonable because she had not stopped thinking about the woman for once since she left."The bedroom." Ash simply said, going in that direction. She wondered if he had attacked her by mistaking her for a beast but she followed obediently.
"What?" Myan walked closer to him, her hands spread to receive his incoming arms that were spread apart for a hug. She had a feeling he would tell her some bad news but a part of her was hopeful.He rested her head against his chest and kissed the top of her head. "I got my powers back." He said it as if it meant nothing to him.
