Chapter 3 - Avalon an island of nymphs

Princess Ellina started speaking out the mysteries behind her father's abduction, "It was the time when I wasn't born. When my father was ruling in his former years of regime. He married my mother who was a nymph. Yes a nymph, you heard me right. I know this is hard to believe but it is the reality. My father wasn't aware at the initial stages but the moment they fell in love my mother no longer kept it as a secret. 

No matter what, my father accepted her wholly and started spending his life with her keeping her identity as a secret. They were living their happy life together and one day my mother woke up in the middle of the night all scared and sweating. 

My father knew something was wrong but she didn't say a thing to him. The next day my mother told my father that she had to leave for a while, something urgent came up. My father tried to stop her but couldn't because she was too convincing and determined. 

My father asked her many times the reason but she said only one thing, "Avalon an island of nymphs will always be an island of nymphs no matter what." 

My father at that moment knew something huge was happening, there might be some threat to her life. So he followed her secretly. She went to some mysterious places which were never known by my father before. My father took his scout with him and followed my mother. 

They have visited many mesmerized and mysterious places. While following my mother many unusual places they visited such as: Frost forest, isle of demons, riverine and many more. Both of them kept on following her until they reached the witch's womb which was their final destination. 

The entire place was very scary and full of dark magic that they even felt the darkness on their skins. While they were moving in the dark forest full of poisonous gases in the air and on the ground as well. They felt terrorized not to see a single living soul. 

Eventually they reached near a house which was really old. That house looked haunted. There wasn't a single lamp lit up inside the house, not even a ray of light. My father and Clayton, his scout moved forward and watched through the window what was happening inside. 

They were frightened to see my mother tied up by poisonous snakes all over her body. My father was struck dumb and ran to help her while Clayton tried to stop him but he was too late. The moment my father entered the house the front door creaked and closed on its own. Clayton tried to open it but he was helpless because of the dark magic.

My father ran towards my mother to free her and suddenly an evil laugh was heard, "Ha-Ha-Ha. You came to protect this little nymph. Didn't you? You don't know where you are standing right now. Ha-ha-ha, welcome to the witch's womb. I am the witch Carolina." 

And she became more angry and asked my father, "Why have you come here? It is very brave of you to enter into my womb? What brings you here?" 

To that my father alluded, "You evil, you cruel Carolina, How dare you to capture my lady?"

Witch laughed and said, "Your lady? Ha-ha-ha, oh poor Iris look what have you done. You cannot even protect your own life. And now you have risked his life too."

My father enquired, "What do you mean by that? Why is my love sleeping? Why isn't she speaking a word? What have you done to her you evil wicked witch?" 

Carolina continued with her evil laugh and blurted in an angry tone, "You have no idea what this little lady of yours has done. She has snatched away my precious one which she shouldn't have done in the past. She is the reasons behind my evilness. I wouldn't let her live even if God comes to save her now. Now she is mine and will be mine forever. I will make her suffer till her last breath" and then she laughed in her high-pitch tone.

She was now looking even more evil and vicious. Black pointed witch hat which she was wearing suddenly fell down and then my father tried to see her face. Her eyes were completely blood red. She had black lips. 

Even with her evil look she looked very seductive. She tried to possess my father but then a man touched her shoulder and said, "Hello."

It was Clayton, the moment the witch looked back Clayton hit her head with a dagger in his fist. The witch fell down and tried to find her magical wand. Before she found her magical wand my father found it and warned the witch to reverse the spell or else he will break her wand. 

Witch didn't have any option left so she did what my father exactly instructed her. My mother came to her senses. She had tears in her eyes the moment she saw my father. 

She ran and hugged him tightly and said, "I thought I lost you." To that my father replied, "No dear, you can never lose me. No one can keep us apart." 

Hearing that the witch started laughing out loud and said, "You think you won Iris, never, you might have my wand, you might have your husband with you now, but you can never snatch my one power ever, i.e., to curse..." 

My mother moaned, "No evil witch, no...i.." but it was too late. Till then the witch had cursed my mother."

Deacon interrupted the princess, "What was the curse my princess?" 

"Muma muma what was the curse?" 

Liza was continuously asking me but I didn't tell her because it was too late so I promised her to tell the rest of the story the next day. Liza was very excited for the story. She slept the moment I promised her to narrate the story later.
