Chapter 26 - Chapter 26

The Winter Fairy

***

Elena tries as much as possible to visit Elevina before she goes out. It really made Elevina extremely worried about her. Sometimes she would get some flowers to keep besides her singing a particular song Elevina would always listen to.

" I once was a little girl, I dreamed that I could cry and fear, go to a winter's snow and come pass all the nightmares." Elena sings kissing Elevina's head before she takes her leave.

Elena shuts the door behind her hurriedly as tears coursed down her face in pain. To her it felt like a nightmare that she just couldn't wake up from. Surprisingly she sees her tears turning into ice whenever it drops down from her eyes. She stops crying and gets surprised about it trying to understand what it meant for her.

Taking a drop of tear on her palms. She takes it to Vinixs cottage to search for what it meant in the spell book. After some minutes of careful research and findings. It is said that tears contain some kind of healing powers and can rejuvenate and heal someone who has been cut or bruised.

Elena decides to give it a try. She gets a small knife and cuts herself on one of her palms. She pours the drop of tears on her cut and instantly her wound is healed in a blink of an eye. She became really surprised, feeling like some sort of a God having tears which could heal.

She didn't allow it to get to head but she was extremely happy that her tears could actually heal. She picks up a book glowing from a shelf. It looked rather enchanting than dangerous. In front she sees an embedded lock with a key in it.

She turns the key to the left to unlock the mysterious strange book. The book gets unlocked but no words were written in any of the pages, just strange ancient scribes. Elena decides to drop her tears at the center of the book.

Which wooshed out an energy and the pages begin to flip on it's own turning bright golden. At that point the book drew away from Elena and struck her dead instantly. Elena wakes up after a few moments to find herself in a dark empty void.

She begins to wander around calling out to see if someone or anything heard her.

"Hello?... anyone?... someone?!" Elena shouts as her voice echoed further and further away from a distance.

Suddenly a mysterious white door appeared a stone throw away from Elena which looked quite suspicious. Elena turned around to see if anyone was around and cautiously approached the door carefully.

She takes one more step closer to the door and turns the knob to know what secrets lie ahead of her. She enters through, shutting the door behind her.

What baffled and mesmerized her was seeing f

Faces her mother had told her a long time ago about who she really was. She seemed to see people walking, talking and hearing their conversation but they couldn't see or hear Elena.

"This should be Winterfell? Why am I here again?" Elena said following a voice that looked quite familiar.

She sees Dimetria's mother hurrying somewhere and decides to follow her where she sees the council of Elders her mother told her about.

"The crown is indeed powerful I must say." Darius said exchanging gases with Vladimir.

"It can only be worn by the chosen one. We must be mindful of the power it bestows." Vladimir said, talking to the counseli.

"Shall I see it?" Eleanor asked, looking at everyone after which she got up.

"Of course my queen." Vladimir said sending for the crown to be brought at once.

Elena sees the beautiful crown in sight and takes some steps closer to have a better look.

"It is indeed beautiful as you say it is. I want…" Eleanor collapses on the ground and dies immediately.

Elena without warning touches the crown which doesn't affect her but the people in the dream votex.

"N…no! Ahh! Wake up!?" Elena screamed and cried but no one heard her voice.

"My Queen? My queen? Guards take her to the healing fairy at once!" Vladimir ordered as the rest of the council members followed him behind.

Elena runs out and finds herself back to the dark void she has been in again. She gives a loud cry of pain. Remaining all alone in a dark and empty void she looks for an exist to leave.

At Mephistopheles…

Queen Lilith became more and more hateful as she didn't tolerate betrayal as usual. A trailer was called upon by one of her servants in an attempt to kill her.

"Mantus, you know why you have been summoned here don't you? Queen Lilth asked carefreely as she tried to be as calm as possible.

"No, my queen. I hope everything is alright?" Mantus asked, bowing down his head and keeling down to queen Lilith.

"You tried killing your queen. I have taken you to be one of my faithful minions but you betrayed me." Queen Lilth said keeping calm as if not really happened.

"No, my queen, I would never do such to her evilness. I think I was framed up for what I didn't do. You have to believe me." Mantus pleased holding queen Lilith's feet.

"Believe? That's the problem Mantus I can't believe you. Not ever again. Dagon, please take him. He needs to be punished." Queen Lilith said ordering Dagon to take Mantus to the dark void of the abyss.

"My queen please…all I have done was to serve you. Please!" Mantus yells but queen Lilith turns a deaf ear.

Mantus is now brought to the pit of the abyss where everyone of his kind will witness once again the consequences of betraying their queen.

"Now Mantus I wish you farewell on your journey. You indeed were faithful. Today…today is the time for reckoning. Now Dagon." Queen Lilith said ordering Dagon to tie up Mantus with a rope drops him inside the pit of the abyss.

"N…no my queen! No!" Mantus screams echoed and were heard by everyone. A lesson they all need to learn from if not they too could be next.

"It has been done, dark lord." Albunuf said as he existed the pit of the abyss.

"Very good. Queen Lilith you've been tricked once again. Just wait, it is coming sooner than you think." Hades said, stopping off the crystal ball.

Back at the dark void…

Elena still tries to find a way back home. She sees a body lying down on the ground. She takes a few steps and turns it around to see her dead on the ground.

"What? T…that can't be me? Did I really die?" Elena gasps, swallowing her silver hard.

She gets shocked and confused by what she saw. It made her sad, angry and completely different. She screams out in pain as fire, water, air and earth coursed through her.

She begins to enchant; "Siprotia dumosum! Siliciu dumosum! Silistra dumosum!" a great light of fire and ice luminated as it engulfed her completely.

She wakes up screaming out loud. She gets up checking herself in a mirror but doesn't see any cut or bruise. She leans close to the wall and takes out a sigh of relief.

"Elena?! Are you okay? I heard your distress…" The winter fairy spirit appeared but then took a step backwards away from Elena.

"W…what happened? Are you okay?" Elena asked, seeing the disturbed face the winter fairy had given.

"T…those symbols on your arms. Y…you possess dark magic? How is that possible?" The winter fairy spirit said, pointing at the symbols embedded in Elena's arm's.
