Dusk had fallen and still Orlando's girls were fast asleep. He had explored the whole house. Nothing appealed to him. He had all the interesting things inside his room.
Orlando peeped again in the next room. Ivana and Brie were on the same position. His glance hovered on the large and ancient-looking mirror. The life-sized and mural painting of a forest also caught his attention.
"They are both glowing!" he exclaimed to himself. The mirror was pinkish and the p
"They are corrupted! Poor creatures!""Aeei!" Orlando squealed with astonishment. He was extremely startled by Feddy. "Feddy? Is that you?""Yes!" Feddy seemed angry."W-why--?"
"Could be." Vino was rubbing the side of his jaw. He was deep in thought."By the way, Olga--or the likeness of Olga--was taken hostage of the Golden Strands!" Orlando had shown consideration to Brie's tender ears. He did not tell them about the scene of debauchery."Let me touch your forehead, sir," Vino requested suddenly.
"I will help the women get on with their lives. If there's any relatives to come back to or whatever they want to do in their present situation." Orlando herded the women inside his truck. He made sure that they were comfortable."I'm sitting beside Orlando!" Eve asserted possessively."I'll sit with the women, Orlando," Belinda murmured reticently.
Ivana and Brie stayed in their rooms with their partners that night.Ivana was nestled against Zac while they looked on the painting with renewed interest."It glows green light!" Zac whispered in fascination."Because it is still enchanted," was Ivana's explanation.
Vino was staring at his prison for two hundred years. It had a pinkish glimmer because the mirror was still enchanted.He relived again the exact moment he was imprisoned inside the mirror.Vino had the witch ready for the magic net. She was inside his Tornado of Power. He was confident that she could not do anything anymore.
Nerida was flying around tiredly. She could not locate her family anymore. The last place was more than half a decade now. They should not leave their home without her..."Oh, Mother, Father, I am sorry for being such a hardheaded fairy! If not my stubborn love for Norlando, you'd be still here! Waiting for me! Hu! hu! hu!" she wept as hours went by.Norlando was handsome and strong. He was a charismatic character. Nerida was attracted at once. She would follow
Nerida could feel Olga holding her closely as they walked to the back room. Her sight faded slowly until it turned black.When her consciousness returned, Nerida was inside the glass jar. All around her were also women imprisoned in similar jars."Help! Mother! Father! Help me, Queen Mother!" Nerida shouted for help from her parents. She even asked for help from the queen fairy. "Help me, Norlando!" She was not sure if Norlando knew that his grandmother was a w
The Queen Mother was Leda, Nerida's mother!"Mother, I mean, my Queen Mother!" Nerida hesitated coming to her."Nerida? Nerida, my child! Oh, Nuro, our child is alive!" With open arms, Leda embraced the prodigal fairy.Both her parents were crying. Nerida was crying, too.
Ivana stirred slowly. She was lying on a rug, in front of a crude fireplace. Her pillow moved when she turned her head towards the fire.She sat up instantly when she realized that Zac was beside her."Don't come near me!" Ivana scooted backwards. She was shocked when her blouse gaped. Her bra was unhooked. Her jeans were unbuttoned and unzipped. She scrambled to clutch together the flaps of her blouse.
Brie could not sleep again. She had been like this whenever she thought of Vino Blanco.'That sorcerer! He is dominating my mind again!' She was irritated. She desperately wanted to forget him.Brie went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She went to take a peep at her sister's room. Ivana and Kobbie were sleeping peacefully.
Zac Logan waited for Vino Blanco. He was getting impatient but he knew that patience was a virtue when it came to these silly trials.'Just a little more time, bro...' Vino told Zac many times.While waiting at the ledge of a mountain ravine, Zac watched the creatures below. They were living in harmony. The valley he found three years before had become home to fairies, goblins, tikbalangs, and even dwarfs.
"This is the shop where I saw Ivana and Brie bought their wedding dresses," Millie stated in a sure tone. "Let's come inside, Ben.""Okay, Millie." Ben followed her cheerfully.She made a beeline towards the rack of dresses."Ma'am, this one is more your size," the sales attendant o
Grandma Nerida had discussed to Ivana and Brie that Zac Logan and Vino Blanco would not remember their time together."How do you know, Grandma?" Brie was a bit doubtful."Grandma knows." Ivana forced herself to believe."Hove sought my help when his dream persisted. Ram always visi
Six months later...The bakery was very busy. As usual, the customers of 'The Enchanted Chefs' went in early to buy their favorite breads, pastries, and cakes."Mmm, this pastry is always so good! It keeps me going for all day at work!" commented a girl to her compan
When Vino closed his eyes to avoid the twin balls of black fire, a jolt shook his whole body. A great tremble started to vibrate inside his system.Tania was able to possess him!"Tania, get out of my body!" Vino ordered harshly."Why should I? Ti hi hi hi! Your body is now mine!"
Vino reeled from the heavy thump on his head. Good thing, he was wearing a helmet. When he looked sidewise, he saw Ram.Ram wore a growling expression. His eyes were wild. His drool trickled from his mouth while breathing rapidly.Vino assessed his opponent. Ram was possessed but by whom? Tania had gone to Tamarind Tower when Vorno was defeated. At least, that was his assumption...
"Hove?" Vino asked in disbelief."Forgive me, Queen Mother Fairy! I can explain!""You're a traitor but I'll let you explain." Nerida controlled her anger with difficulty.Vino came near the paralyzed tikbalang. He touched his head. "Speak."
