The day in the kingdom passed by with no more unexpected events. The following day the triplets waits for the deliberation of the elders to finish for them to know the verdict and the subsequent punishment they have to face. Lila stay at their side defending them while Alethea, Mira and the queen stay quiet listening to the discussion. "You know? This things are are boring me to death." Alexandra whisper to her siblings. " Shut up Andra! We will be in deeper trouble if they hear us." Brianna whisper secretly. " What are you worried about? Soon we will be leaving the kingdom for the mission they cannot afford to detain us here just to serve that silly unreasonable punishment." Alexandra replied. While Cassie just smirked either she found amusement in the discussion or with the exchange of her siblings. "What about you Cassie, what do you think of this gathering? " Alexandra asked having witness her sisters reaction. "I think it's ridiculous, totally for appearance sake but let
"Are you sure of what we are doing, Cassie? I mean there is no maps to guide us ." Brianna said hesitantly. The triplets decided to start their journey to the foot of the mountain of the Mountain of the Rock Statues at the break of dawn. They never waited for anyone one to send then on a ceremony after the discussion about their punishment the day before. " Relax Anna we can use our powers to get to the foot of the mountain. " Alexandra said. " You think so Andra?* Cassie said ." Yes! I was making my research of the place and it's surrounding, so that we will not be plunging ourselves unto the unknown." The vampiress replied." I am amazed for someone who is the most uncertain of this mission you have done your research I hope we can use those knowledge to our advantage." Cassie said smiling. All the time when she was growing up with the survivors of Thalia's invasion of kingdom, she was made to believe that she will embark on this mission on her own. That was before she lear
"Before you get any wrong ideas please hear me out my sisters! " Cassie said appealingly. " Before you decided to fulfill the prohecy I came to this place to look for someone to help me understand what I was to expect with the mission. That's when I met Deo."Cassie continued. " She fall victim to the hooligans of this place. The people are of mix origin. Some are ex-convicts, some are con artist others are rapist. Among others are witches and warlocks." Deo continued for Cassie. " I was tricked by a con artist to help me find someone who can provide me of the information I need to fufill the mission. But instead I was sold as a sex slave it was a good thing that Deo help me escape and hide me so that the ones after me will not be able to take me back." Cassie said. " The reason that I snatched your pouch is that to lead you here with out raising suspicion. The people who you met on the way here has already suspicious that you are the famous triplets who was destine to bring pea
The following day the triplets follow what Deo had advise but aside from that they also observed the people and surrounding of the village. They entered an eatery but just to observe. They didn't even touch their food. But since they dress shabbily there were not paid attention. Except for another being just like them also observing but it was them the object of the observation."Come on let's get out of here I have a bad feeling about this." Cassie said. They were on their way out when someone trip on Brianna's foot sending her sprawling on the floor. The people around look and laughed."Hey don't you have eyes? Look at where you are going! " The man who stand taller than any man they saw but the voice came from the person who was hanging on his back."I didn't do anything! Someone trip on my foot."Brianna answered annoyingly, her sisters just look on getting ready for anything to follow. " And you dare talk back to me , don't you know who I am? The small person hanging with the ta
As they go further the heaviness they felt increases it has been three hour of walking. That Cassie felt Momoo became restless."What is it Momoo?" But the monkey-cat just look at her, making sounds that she cannot comprehend. "What's wrong with you? ""Obviously you forgot that your powers doesn't work here Princess." Deo said."Right! So it's true, I forgot that he communicates with me though witch magic " Cassie scoffs. But her pet continue to mumble incoherently."Guys get ready something is coming!" Cassie begins to sense something is coming. As soon as she say this they witness the clouds of dust coming their way they immediately took cover by the huge tress. They heard deafening sounds like thunder rumbling. They were able see several numbers of bull- like animals being chase by a flying creature intending to make them it's meal.Then something swoops overhead take a dive and took Brianna in its razor sharp claws. "Anna! Anna! The siblings in despair yell at their sister as
Alexandra and Cassie continue to explore the area to find traces of where the giant bird has taken their sister, while they kept quiet. They communicate with each other through movement and with their eyes. They ignored Deo still not getting over with what he had said earlier. Alexandra thought they don't need him , they can find their own way. But Cassie is !more restraint she acknowledged that somehow they will need him.Deo sense their silence ignore their action and continue to guide them and give advice even it's unsolicited. Then suddenly, there's rustling of the leaves and a loud noise can be heard from the other side being separated by a tall bushes. The noise can be compared to a wailling of a large creature in agony.The siblings slowly peep in thought the overgrown bushes,by moving aside the thick leaves. "The bushes here are so thick that makes it so difficult even to bend them. I feel as if we shrink into small creature with this giant bushes and trees." Alexandra
"Chick, chick,, chick." Brianna's companion on the nest made a sound, it's been days since the eggs hatched and the mother bird, has been very close overprotectively with her chicks including Brianna the father bird sometimes flew to gather food for them at first Brianna was afraid wondering, what the the father bird will feed them . But relief wash over her when the bird brought them fruits, but she didn't want to be content here in this situation. She must find ways to escape who knows what the father bird will feed them next.Then one day she was surprised that her bird siblings were being push out of the nest. The first one was was able to move her wings and finally was able to glide in the wind, and so with the second.When her turn came she thinks that this will be her chance to escape.if she could only land softly on those tree branches below that'll be her time to escape. But deep in her heart she is afraid that she won't make it.When her time came she brace herself, but
Brianna and Cassie was surprised when they heard the voice, but Alexandra remain straight face."Where have you been all this time Deo?" Cassie found her voice."I got lost when the beast chase us, and somehow, someone make it sure that it's stays that way." Deo said emotionlessly."What do you mean?" Cassie looked at Momoo and Alexandra and she get the same reaction instead."Never mind that! Quick gather all those gems including that horn and remove the other to bgather those gems you might not know when you will need them. " Deo said dismising the contraversy he created. Brianna looks on, trying to decipher what's going on."After we gather this thing we should find a water source for me to get rid of this." She made a gesture showing herself."Anna it's not only you stink. You look like it." Alexandra tease as Brianna stammered."Then, what are you going to do with that?" Cassie made a sign pointing at the huge bird looking at them as if he understood what is being said."Oh o
As soon as Lila post this problem the alarm sounded. an attack at the northern border was noted. "I thought we will be at peace once we return victorious?" Cassie retorted. " There are just some old scores we have to settle to achieve lasting peace. There will be no short cut to it." The queen said. " I will face the enemies once and for all. She added.Thalia with the Warlock Lucius, with their men come face to face with the witches lead by queen Inah and her granddaughters "What do you want Lucius? " Queen Inah begun. " I have heard that the triplets successfully conquered the mountain of the rock statues." Lucius said. " I am amazed how the news travels so fast. They have not even warm their seats and then here you are. Go straight to the point Lucius, what do you seek. " The queen challenged. " I came to seek recognition for being their grandfather, and for the times you had me fooled believing in your blackmail I deserved justice." Lucius cockily declared. "Recognit
" Something is wrong why it still glowing?" The triplets are in panic something, they must find for that something to fit in that glowing hole on the altar. Then out of the blue they heard voices."Did you think that you will be able to get out of this victorious? Ha ha ha.... !" One voice said mockingly."Your ancestors had made grave sins against us and you carry the burden of their mistake. Ha ha ha... !" Another one said." Each one of you had made a selfish and grave sin against each other that you don't deserve to get out of here victorious unless you admitted your sins to cleanse you soul! " "Come on girls look inside your soul try to think what have you done! " Mira urged. " That includes you Mira! Ha ha ha ...! Did you think you have a pure soul? Only people with pure soul get out of here! " They all started to look for the most selfish things they have done. " I'm so sorry, I tried to kill myself after the vampire king had planted his seed on me . To prevent myself to
They spend their waking hours planning their time to coincide with the movement of the sun, the peak hours was at midday, where nothing can stand the heat and the whole area is turn to a vast wasteland."We will start at the break of dawn to take down those rock statues and try to reach the entrance for what is waiting for us there." Cassie said. Brianna counted the gemstones they gathered they were short compared to the numbers of rock statues."How sure are you that we are short Anna? Alexandra asked."I counted the statues I saw when I flew aboard bigbird with the bird people gathering food." She replied. "... And it doesn't include the others I didn't see considering we only fly up to where the rays of the sun doesn't touch us." She added."Then we have to make every gems count." Alexandra suggested."Yes you're right Andra, so we will divide the gemstones to our selves and try find alternatives to combat them, for example using our own power of the amulets, maybe we can als
When the triplet arrived at the foot of the highest peak of the mountain range, they were in awe with the view."Wow! It is so nice here as if we can touch the sky and we can see the whole area as far as our eyes can travel. " it was in the late afternoon that they landed after travelling for almost the whole daylight. The sun is on the other side of the mountain. Giving them the illumination from the reflection from the sky without see the sun itself. "Do you observe what I see? " Cassie asked her sisters " What is it Cassie?" Alexandra asked while Brianna turn her attention the vegetation around."The grasses and the plants around grows so fast." Cassie said." That's because during the early morning toward the early afternoon when the sun touches this part the earth the grasses dried up from the intense heat. It grows so fast when it was late in the afternoon towards the early early evening, and freezes during the night to kill it with it's intense cold." Brianna explain afte
"What the...?" Immediately the resting Alexandra reacted sending her bolts of lightning to pulverized the stones, while Cassie send her wind power to send away the pebbles and sands to prevent it to fall on them. Brianna mounted the bird to get an overview of their enemy. She immediately communicated though mindlink of her observation. "Brianna attack from the air! Alexandra defend from the ground! Momoo and will lauched an offensive from the ground to confused him. "Cassie directed her sisters.They fought the creature for a while, and the triplets ibeginning to get tired Brianna trade places with Cassie her crossbow is more effective when she get a better view of the creature.The creature also begun to become weary but his body was hard as rocks, his hand send stones flying in their direction use their shield to protect them , but it cause their attacks to be ineffective against the giant creature.Alexandra thought of a strategy to gain advantage to their enemy. "Let's do i
"I said that your powers are useless on the first mountain we cross . How was I to know will be activated here." He tried to explained. " So that means you never get this far before, or what I should say that you don't have information about this mountain. " Cassie inquired.evidently very much annoyed. " And I might add all the things you said about this is either lies or wild guesses?" Brianna seconded. Also much livid." I'm sorry, in my attempt to make sure you succeed I told you stories that are not proven but believe me I have the best interest for the majority, at heart." Deo wasn't able to deny what he is accused of, but he sugarcoat his admission to be able to gain favors from the triplets or at least have their sympathy."And I guess, that majority doesn't include us. You were just a liability to us." Brianna controlling her anger added. "... And to think you have fooled me eversince we met, I have defended you from my sisters, I choose to go back for you instead of m
The group begun their trek, out of the blue Alexandra saw in her peripheral vision something move. She followed it with her eyes and suddenly transported to a place full of people like a marketplace. She saw herself in an alley with a victim which she had dried up by sipping the blood and leaving her dead, she look at the face of the victim and saw the mirror image of herself. Then suddenly she felt herself being suck into the image of herself of the retreating vampire. Somehow Alexandra felt trapped grasping for breath she just killed herself by her vampire self. "No, no, no! This is just a vision it can never be!, Ahhhh..." She yelled. "Anda! Wake why are you screaming?'" Brianna had to wake her up by slapping her face. "I have a nightmare!" Gasping for breath she confided. "Nightmare in broad daylight? Besides I never knew that vampires have nightmares. He he he!!!" Brianna said teasingly. They just took a while to rest then Alexandra fall asleep. "You must have seen some
Brianna and Cassie was surprised when they heard the voice, but Alexandra remain straight face."Where have you been all this time Deo?" Cassie found her voice."I got lost when the beast chase us, and somehow, someone make it sure that it's stays that way." Deo said emotionlessly."What do you mean?"
