Chapter 24 - Chance

"Crystal? Why are you a child?" She asked. She looked very puzzles at that moment. Crystal was a beautiful woman. Libra has always thought that she was very kind hearted and even if she was way younger that her, she still looked up to her. Now she looked very different. Her features didn't change but she still looked way yiuver than her. She actually looked like a 5 year old. As she thought that, Libra froze for a moment when she realised something. Crystal was actually 5 years. Did she cast a spell on herself to make her look like her actual age? Then why did she also look so shocked to see herself like that? Libra's eyes were still fixed on the little Crystal. "Libra I really don't know what is happening. I came here to see how you were doing and suddenly...I got inveloped in a strange green cloud and now I am....this." She said as she stretched out her little arms. "But Crystal...why would you suddenly turn into a child?" Libra asked. Everything that is happening is just too much for her young mind to handle. First her marriage, then her illness and now this? Wait, her illness! Now she had a chance to finally ask Crystal about er condition. "Crystal," she paused and then she continued talking. "Please tell me what is happening to me. My parents are going to Emerald village tomorrow to try and force you to make me better. They think that you cast a spell on me and made me like this to try and take over the kingdom or destroy it." She said and Crystal raised her brow. "Wait, you still don't know what is happening to you?" She asked, looking confused. Libra also looked a little confused. "What do you mean? Of course I don't know what is happening." Libra answered. She was growing more impatient by the minute. If someone enters her room, Crystal will leave again and she would have to think of another way to call her. The Heavenly gods gave her this opportunity to talk to her and there was not way she could waste it. "Libra, I sent Henry over here so he could explain to you on my behalf. Are you telling me that he hasn't told you yet?" She asked as she folded her little arms and gave a frown on her little cute face. Libra blinked a few times before she shook her head. "Who is Henry?" She asked and Crystal almost felt like bashing her head on wall. "Stupid! Just stupid! I used my precious magic mirror's last power to contact him and send him here and now look, you don't even know who he is!" She burst out and Libra felt a slight stinge of fear run through her body as she saw Crystal throw a tantrum like that. She stared at her and waited for her to calm down before she could ask another question. Crystal saw her expression and sighed. She pressed her temples and closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again. " Sorry Libra, I just don't know what to do right now. I could cast a spell to teleport us both to my hut so I can tell you everything but it might distrupt the evolving process." She said and she sat down on the floor and used her hands to cover her face. "I failed Libra...I was supposed to make sure that you knew everything before it's too late but now...." She said, not removing her hands from her face. Libra lowered her brows a little as she looked at the crying girl. She could tell she was crying because of the way she was moving. " Crystal, tell me what is happening...you are starting to scare me now." She said in a soft voice. Her eyes were also full of tears at that moment. Crystal then paused for a moment and lifted her head to look out the window. The sun was starting to set and a small smile curved up on Crystal's cute face. "There is still time Libra. I...I can still fix this." She looked at Libra and stood up. "Libra, it's time for you to meet the Emerald witch princess."
