Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: A New Ally

Once they reached the area, they began to discuss.

"How can we go back to the Void?" Scarlett wrote.

"We would need a portal though..."

"But where will we get one?"

"We would also need more people to-."

After a long talk, a woman approached them. "I know a place that you need. Just follow me." Petalfin was suspicious. However, Scarlett's face was in awe. She points to the woman and gets her notebook and writes, "This is the Lost Princess of Azuba!"

Petalfin's eyes widened. "Really?" The princess suddenly looked at her, as if she was crazy, but she started looking around. "Be quiet. Come on." The two girls followed the princess to a dark alley near a magnificent castle. The princess spoke. "I ran away from home because of my mother, but I regretted it instantly. I didn't want to go back, though. I couldn't admit that she was right after all." Petalfin asked. "Right about what?" However the princess paid no attention. "But, I have to come with you guys. I want to see my mother again."

The three went inside of the castle, and saw a big room. It was empty, and at the center sat, the queen, still weeping after all this time. "Mother?" The queen stared at them. The queen and daughter hugged. "Thank you for bringing my sweet daughter back!" The queen rejoiced. "I will give you anything...anything you want!"

"Mother, these girls need a portal." The queen asked, "What for?"

"I'm not su-"

"Actually, we've um...heard of this portal and wanted to try it." Scarlett put on the paper.

"W-we just want to travel somewhere.." Petalfin stuttered.

"Yes, I see. Come with me, girls."

They entered a room, and in it was a giant machine. It was a portal! "My daughter is smart, yes, she knows how to use this." The princess smiled, and walked towards a screen. "I need your coordinates to know where you need to go."

Petalfin answered some complicated numbers. She always memorized the coordinates of the Void. The princess spoke. "Done typing the coordinates. Wait...I know where you're goi-"

Petalfin interrupted, "Sorry, your majesty, but in the place we need to go to, we would need multiple people." The queen asked, "What for?" The two gave up. "You don't need to know where we are going, but you need to know why. There is a threat in that place, and it might be destroyed if we don't go there." Petalfin answered.

The queen gasped, and called for an army. "Is this enough? Wait, I almost forgot." She held up a a gold key with a purple undertone. "This is a Zepnar Key. It fits into any lock. When I was younger, I always brought it with me on my journeys. Now it is yours." Scarlett bowed, and Petalfin said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
