[ AT THE FIRE KINGDOM ]
Angeline saw Leona was playing with Velna at the playground near the castle. They surely have a great time together. Mint dropped her in about several metres away from them. "Angeline!! You are back. Saw many interesting things?" Asked Velna as she hugged her so tight until she felt like She's not breathing. "Oxygen..." she said as she still hugged her. Velna released Angeline and she could breathe the oxygen again.
"Ouwhh sorry," she grinned "we were so happy that you are fine. Queen Ella told us to inform her when you are back." She said. "Come and meet me next time" Angeline shouted to mint as he wanted to go back.
We searched for the queen everywhere but we didn't see her anywhere. Finally, we decided to ask the guard if he saw the queen. The guard said that the queen awaits us at the library. "Where is the library?" I asked her. "And where is Leona?" She asked me back. We gazed each other and ran back to the playground.
"Now where is that wolf?" I asked Velna.
"I don't know..." she shrugged her shoulders. We searched for her everywhere but still, I didn't find her. "We will find her later, now the queen, " Velna said. "Oh yes..! I totally forgot about her"
We ran as fast as we could and asked one of the guards where is the library. "Follow me..." the guard told us to follow him. We follow him to the library. "Seriously Granny ... you didn't know where is a library" I teased her with a smile on my face. "Humph... I forgot. By the way it's, not a big prob. We still can ask people nearby." Velna sulked. Her face was cute like a baby.

I sit at the library for about 20 minutes but I still can't see a figure. Suddenly, the door opened slowly and it made curiously. I walked slowly to the door and I saw Leona was trying to open the door using her head. I grinned as I shook my head. I helped her to open the door for her to come in. "Where were they?" I asked her. "I ran away from them cause they didn't know where is the library" she laughed. Maybe she's right cause I saw her walking inside the castle when Angeline went to her adventure. I walked to the bookshelves and find the book for Angeline to read and learn. I blew the dust from the book cover and I coughed. I opened the book and flip every page.

As we step in the library, we saw Leona relaxing on the table. "Miss me..?" Leona greeted us. "We searched you all over the playground and you were here..?" I get closer to Leona. "Rule no.15: a warrior must come in time. And now you were late. Any excuse?" Queen Ella come from the back of the bookshelves suddenly said a word. I was surprised. She had an old book in her hand. She gave me that book. "What is this?" The book was obviously an ancient book. There was a small pinkish-red stone in front of the cover at the top right corner. "So pretty. Can I touch it?" I asked for permission.
"Yes. You may" the queen said. When I touched the stone, I can feel the stone was tickling me. I withdraw my hand and I took it out from the cover. The stone was glowing and I was amazed as a little red-winged fairy. The fairy faded and disappeared. "Do you see what I see??" I didn't believe what I saw just now. "No maybe you have an eyes problems," Velna said and she patted on my shoulder. "Try to open the book". I opened the book and I saw many things about the rules, power and rank that I must achieve before becoming the next Queen. No wonder the book was as thick as my mother's novel.
"There is 3 rank that you must master. Warrior, magical and ace. And your first mission is to memorise all this stuff." Velna said to me. "You wanted to kill me... don't you? I guaranteed my brain can't memorise all the stuff."
"Don't be like that Velna ... I will make sure that you will teach her until she reaches the final rank." The queen said with a smile. "Instant karma," I smirked... We laughed together and I saw the same red-winged fairy peeking at us. Maybe is just an illusion so I ignore it. "Practice time," the queen told us to go to the nearby forest for my magical rank test since I have learned it from Velna. Even though the kingdom's name was 'Fire Kingdom' it didn't mean that the castle is fire resistant.
Velna brought us there with her magic. "First let's check your stamina. Run until the end of the forest and come back here." She said. "Don't cheat." She said. "Whatever. You come with me, Leona?" I asked if she wanted to join me. "Never say never. Let's go there is no time to waste" she said. "Catch me if you can..." she ran far into the forest. I ran towards her as fast as I could. Every time I'm about to touch her, she will run a little bit faster. We ran until the end of the forest and we stopped because we were tired. I can fell the temperature were colder than before. At the end of the forest, I saw another forest.
