All Chapters of Defenders of the Crown: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Diana"MY NAME IS Paige and I am a book nymph. Not like you asked, though," the miniature creature, Paige said with an eye roll. "Wait... Book nymphs still exist?" Sia asked, coming out from behind Diana. "Oh, hello there, Siana. Nice of you to join us," Paige announced with a sarcastic smile. "How do you know our names?" Diana asked. "I am a book nymph, it is my job to know things," Paige said matter of factly. "Fair enough. But I thought your kind had gone extinct," Diana said curiously. Sighing, Paige flew down and sat on the desk. Diana thought she looked like a little bird perching on the edge of the desk. "We did go extinct after the first uprising. Well, almost all of us. "I was saved by a group of witches who tasked me with the job of keeping a box in exchange for saving my life. I have lived here for centuries, only come out when it is dark.""Okay, so, how did you survive for so long here without being detected by the wolves?" Sia asked. "After the destruction of my

Diana WHITE, PLAIN, BLANK, and empty, were just a few words to describe the only things that could awaken one of the most powerful relics in the supernatural world. "I hope the both of you realise that once this book is activated, the entire supernatural world would feel it, and they certainly would come for it. "Are you sure that you ready for that?" Paige asked, breaking Diana's gaze from the box. "No," Sia said at the same time, Diana said, "Yes." Paige rolled her eyes. "Whatever, you are already here so take the pages and allow me to join my family in the afterlife." "By joining your ancestors, do you mean die?" Diana asked in shock. "No, I meant a party. Of course, I meant death, Diana," Paige responded with so much normalcy, that it shocked Diana. "Book Nymphs live by responsibility. Once one is given a task, their life force is linked to the task and once it is completed, well... they disappear," Sia explained. Diana gaped at the two of them in shock. She did not

Diana SHE FELT HERSELF falling in space, free-living and weightless. She kept on floating with her eyes closed in the dark, letting the breeze take her to wherever. Suddenly, her body stopped moving and it was no longer dark, as light beams tried to get past her closed eyes. Diana opened her eyes and then her feet finally touched the ground. After her eyes had adjusted to the light, Diana took in her surroundings. "What the heck?!" Diana blurted out. She was surprised to see that she was now standing in the middle of mirrors. The room had mirrors on the walls, the roof and the floor. Diana was a bit creeped out by numerous reflections of her, all staring at her. "I had imagined the afterlife to be less creepy," Diana muttered to herself, trying to look away from her reflections, only to stare at another each time she turned her face. "That is because you are not in the afterlife, Diana," she heard a voice say. "Who said that?!" Diana asked, looking around but finding no

Diana IT WAS NOT certain to Diana how she found herself standing face to face with Selene. She felt the glass in front of her and indeed, she was now inside the glass which was a lot bigger than she thought. She turned to Selene. "Things get weirder and weirder at each step, but it is no longer surprising." As expected, Selene smiled. "Only you would be relaxed about standing inside a mirror." Diana shrugged. "Try having two other different personalities inside you, fighting zombies for four years, and being tortured by a crazy lunatic. "I guess strange things is my new normal. It no longer seems foreign to me anymore." "About Luna, it is actually my fault. You were right, wolves are not supposed to have a separate consciousness. "I tried to keep my sickness from you but I could not stop my mind from creating another consciousness in your head. "I wanted to take her out, but it would not work. So, when I saw how harmless she was, I decided to let her stay. "This just a

Diana LATER THAT DAY, Diana was left alone with her friends. Sia had gone to meet Janessa and Ryan, while Aiden went to sort out matters concerning his kingdom. Rudolph filled Diana in about his situation with Lacey. Diana tried to understand what could be wrong with Lacey but came up with nothing after each thought. "Do you recall anything you did wrong before she became distant?" Diana asked. "No. I know for sure that I did not do anything wrong," Rudolph responded. "Then what could be the issue?" Diana mused. "Trust me, I have been wondering about that since we returned from the Fay kingdom. "Since she saw me hugging Janessa, she totally cut me out. She does not even want to see me," Rudolph said with a frustrated sigh. "Okay, calm down, let me talk to her. Maybe I can get through to her," Diana suggested. Rudolph instantly perked up with a smile. "That would be a lot of help. Thank you, Ana." "But first I have to talk to Aiden. I will go to Lacey afterwards," Diana
