It was the day of the competition. Agaton got up early to have enough time to get ready. Meddy offered to accompany her and Agaton was happy that her sister is being supportive. She wished that everyone could come and enjoy with them but that was impossible so she was lucky that at least her sister was going with her. Before they went out, their mom called Meddy aside.
"Meddy where are you taking your sister?" Her mom asked.
"We are just going out for sometime, but wait, why are you asking me that mother? You have never asked me that kind of question before." Meddy asked concerned.
"My dear I'm the Queen of Serpents I can feel anyone's powers and I can feel that Agaton's powers have increased."
"Yes she is the empress of course they will increase."
"No you are not understanding my dear." Her mother said looking straight into her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Meddy asked.
"She has only received her empress powers but she still have to unlock them."
"How is she going to unlock them?" Meddy asked getting worried.
"On the night of the red moon, every single magical serpent from all realms must gather in the old mansion that was given to me by Lord Jesus Christ after I gave birth to your sister Agaton. That mansion used to belong to the mermaids but because of their disloyalty they were forbidden from there and the netherworld of magical creatures. They were given a blessing by Lord Jesus Christ before you were born but they misused that blessed big time so they were kicked out of the mansion to live underwater. So on the night of the red moon we must go to the mansion for Agaton's coronation which is in 6 days." Her mother explain
"What? Coronation in 6 days? What are you saying mom?" Meddy asked with a slump in her voice.
"My dear, you have to look after yourself and your sister. Every magical creature out there wants an opportunity to get the empress Agaton's powers and that can only be archived by killing Agaton seconds after the coronation or after 2 years on night of the black moon when she is at her weakest because if she becomes a full empress no one will be able to defeat her, she will get a lot of powers. She become the supreme Queen of magical creature, she will be the owner of the Cross Of Calvary." Her mom explained.
"I hear you mother, I should go now."
"Okay take care my child."
Meddy exited the cave and she found Agaton waiting for her there and she was very excited. Meddy was gloomy but she had to lighten up her mood for her sister's sake even though her mother's word kept on repeating in her head. She looked at her sister laugh, jump, run and talk non-stop for the first time in a while and she was really looking forward to a happy day, she wanted to play those activities with King Kisas. Meddy had to hide her feeling and cheer for her sister.
They danced and left for the competition. King Kisas was already at the spot waiting for them. Just like Agaton he was not alone either, he went with his younger brother Prince Michael and his twin half brother Prince Panola. They introduced themselves each other.
**************************
Hearing the name of Panola it brought both anger and sadness in me but I did not know why.
"Sir why is this always happening to me everytime I hear the name of Panola? Firstly it was just a name I used to be super angry but now that I can see how he looks like I feel both angry and sad. Why?" I asked the old man hoping to the answer.
"I do not know dear." The old man answered looking down.
****************************
Michael and Meddy held each other's hand for a long time. Agaton was surprised by the handshake that got her sister on a pause, Meddy was literally not moving until Kisas snapped his fingers and they got back to their senses.
The competition started and it was hosted by Prince Michael, and Meddy also volunteered to help Michael which amazed Agaton yet again.
"Sister are you okay?" Agaton asked Meddy smiling awkwardly and touching her forehead and neck.
"I'm okay Agaton, focus on your competition." Meddy assured her sister.
"Okay." Agaton said going to the field.
"See I'm going to make sure that you all do not cheat." Meddy said gazing at Michael.
"Don't worry miss, we will not cheat I'm the fairest do not worry." Michael ranted, his voice made Meddy's senses to stop working and her knees fell weak. Surprising Agaton yet again so much that she just began fumbling senseless words.
Kisas understood her and ordered for the game to begin on her behalf.
They began and their first challenge was speed.
"The one who came complete ten rounds from the black mountain back here which is in fact 110 kilometres in five seconds win." Michael assigned. Meddy was dumbstruck she almost wanted argue with him but Agaton stopped her midway.
"On your marks, get ready...go!" Meddy said.
The race began and in one second Kisas was doing his fifth round while Agaton was at her seventh. It was a great race and Kisas almost caught up to Agaton but she was just too fast.
"Agaton finished her last round in three seconds and as you can see she is still energetic. Kisas finished his last round last round in four seconds and he seems so tired as if he was carrying the black mountain himself. So the victory goes to the Agaton." Michael read out the results.
"See, serpents are the best." Meddy bragged.
"Only on shore, let us go underwater then we will show you who the best are." Michael said annoyed.
"Hey, who do you think you are, I think I should actually teach you a lesson." Meddy threatened pulling up her sleeves.
"Please spare me dear hot sizzling serpent." Michael complemented her going closer to her.
"Oh, how can you be so shameless I'm your elder respect me." Meddy said feeling shy and pulling her jumpsuit down even though it was already long.
"Really, then why are blushing a lot? Did my charm get you in a dilemma." Michael exclaimed showing off his muscles.
Agaton could see that Meddy was becoming weak, her knees were shivering.
"Could you please tell us what to do next I'm starting to feel sleepy." Agaton saved her sister from Michael's torture.
