"Let me help you down Annie" said Ollie as he smiled and he walked past Maddie and Matt as he stood in front of Annie.
"Okay?" said Annie as she did not know what else to say.
"Here" said Ollie as he smiled and he held the palms of Annie's hands as Annie wondered just what he was doing as she suddenly felt lighter and she began to float in the air which surprised her for a moment.
"And there you go" said Ollie with a smile as he let go of her hands and Annie went floating off the edge as Ollie lowered his hand and as he did so Annie lowered further and further down to the ground until she was safely down and her feet touched the ground as Ollie released his spell.
"She's down" said Curtis.
"Your turn" said Ollie as he smiled and he turned to look at Curtis as he just touched Curtis with his finger and Curtis moved himself in the air as Ollie lowered him down and he released him once Curtis reached the ground.
"Anyone else want me to help them?" asked Ollie as he smiled and he turned to look at Maddie and Matt who both had frowns on their faces.
"Thanks, but no thanks, blondie" said Maddie almost immediately, she did not trust her life in the hands on this guy.
"Alright then suite yourself, see you down there" said Ollie as he smiled and he went floating in the air as he lowered himself down as he met with Annie and Curtis.
"Just who does this guy think that he is?" asked Maddie as she looked at Matt.
"Him doing that was totally unnecessary" Matt with a frown as he was referring to the way Ollie quickly jumped to help Annie.
"You see, I told you, it is a bad idea for him to be here" said Maddie.
"Are you guys alright, do you need help getting down?" asked Annie as she shouted, Maddie and Matt were taking too long up there, she wondered if they were stuck or something.
"No, no, everything is fine Annie" said Maddie as she smiled and she shouted back.
"Goodluck Matt, it seems that you have competition now" said Maddie as she turned to look at Matt and she patted herself on the back as she went floating into the air and she went down.
Matt grunted as he casted a floating spell on himself as he floated down and he eyed Ollie as he saw him standing right next to Annie.
"Thank you for helping me Prince Oliver" said Annie as she smiled.
"It's Ollie, and you are welcome, anything for you" said Ollie as he smiled and he winked as Annie just laughed sheepishly as Maddie rolled her eyes.
"Let's continue on" said Curtis as they were now down in the valley.
"Okay" said Annie as she smiled and Ollie smiled at her as Curtis began to walk.
"I tell you once again Matt boy, this annoying Prince is trying to woo our Annie" said Maddie as she popped into Matt's head.
"Don't be weak, put him in his place" said Maddie as Matt did not say anything.
…
"I believe that Curtis and the rest should have reach Caligo by now" said Stella as she looked at Captious and Sapiens who were both in her office with her.
"I believe that they should have" said Sapiens.
"Well the Carriage did go to where I sent it, so they must have reached Caligo by now" said Stella as she poured herself a cup of tea, she needed to relax herself.
She had tried to make Lisa relax by assuring her that Annie and the rest were perfectly safe with Curtis, It was not an easy task, but Lisa finally calmed down, but Stella was feeling like that as well, or maybe she was feeling even more stressed than Lisa was.
"Then that is reassuring news" said Captious as he smiled.
"You know this whole thing is stressing me out" said Stella.
"If not for the fact that I know what Curtis I doing, I would not have let Annie, Maddie and Matt go anywhere at all" said Stella as she sighed.
"I am sure that they will be alright, although I do have to say that I was surprised when I heard that Annie was going to Caligo" said Captious.
"Lucinda was very upset about the entire thing, she did not want Matt to go at first" said Sapiens.
"But you managed to convince her?" asked Stella.
"Yes I did, along with the help of Lucas, or else I am sure that she would not have let Matt go anywhere at all, Elora had to help us calm her down" said Sapiens as he sighed.
"The truth is, I feel much more at ease with Matt being there with Annie and Maddie, I am sure that he will be able to protect them and himself as well" said Sapiens.
"My, my Sapiens, I do have to say that I am surprised, since when did you care for the safety of others and not just yourself?" asked Captious as he laughed and Stella laughed as well.
"Well people do change" said Sapiens as he smiled.
"Well that you are right about" said Captious as he smiled.
"And I have to agree with you there, I feel much more at ease with Matt there, all I want is that Annie, and Maddie be safe" said Captious.
"That is what I hope for as well Capi" said Stella as she smiled at Captious and he smiled at her.
"So what exactly is Curtis' plan?" asked Sapiens.
"Because it worries me that there will be no means for us to communicate with them when they are on Caligo" said Sapiens.
"That worried me as well, but Curtis and I have set a designated time where if they do not return by then, then we need to go looking for them" said Stella as she sighed.
"And when will that be?" asked Captious.
"In about five months' time, if they have not retuned by then, I may have to send a rescue team to Caligo" said Stella as she did not want that to happen at all.
She knew that it must have looked and sounded stupid for them to just let Annie, Maddie and Matt go just like that to a dangerous place, but it was better that way, they could get more valid results in there really was a solution on Caligo.
"Hopefully things will not come to that" said Captious as he sighed, he was just as worried as everyone was, Annie was his great niece after all, and he cared for her, and her friends as well.
"I truly hope so, five months is no joke, not at all Stella" said Sapiens as Stella sighed.
"I know that Sapiens, I know" said Stella as she gave a slight smile.
"And Azazel… any clues on where he might be?" asked Captious.
"No, I have nothing, nothing at all, it's like he vanished into thin air, just like that" said Stella as she sounded frustrated.
"Speaking of Azazel, before I forgot, I received a report this morning from the Cauldron, apparently there was some sort of disruption in the time line" said Sapiens as he sounded very serious.
"Are you sure about that Sapiens?" asked Stella in confusion.
"Yes, I am absolutely sure" said Sapiens as he nodded his head.
"Alright then, send me the report, I will look through it" said Stella.
"Will do" said Sapiens.
"I truly hope that it is nothing too serious" said Stella as she sighed, she could not take another problem right now.
"I hope so as well, but some part of the report were classified, they need your seal to be opened" said Sapiens and that alone did not sound too good.
"Well now I am curious" said Stella as suddenly the green telephone on the right side of her desk as she picked up the call.
"Hello" said Stella as she smiled.
"Good Noon your Majesty" said Stella as she smiled.
"To what do I owe this call of yours this nice afternoon?" asked Stella as she smiled.
"I have been trying to reach you all day" came Albert's voice from the other side of the line.
"Ahh, I am sorry about that your Majesty, the line has been busy all day" said Stella as she smiled.
"I see, regardless, I called to inform you that I have allowed Oliver to go to Caligo" said Albert as the smile on Stella's face dropped.
"You have?" asked Stella in shock as she was surprised.
"Yes I have" said Albert.
"Well that is good news your Majesty, but Curtis and the others have already left" said Stella.
"Not to worry, Oliver followed after them, he should be with them now" said Albert.
"I see, your Majesty" said Stella as she could not hide her surprise.
"I just wanted to inform you" said Albert.
"Thank you for informing me your Majesty, please take care" said Stella as she smiled and she placed the telephone back to where she picked it from.
"What is wrong Stella?" asked Captious as Sapiens was just as curious as he was.
"Prince Oliver has gone to Caligo" said Stella as she still could not believe it herself.
"What??" asked Sapiens and Captious in surprise.
