Chapter 42 - Chapter 42

The Winter Fairy

***

At Devdrands, The Magic Woodlands Uriel, Elevina and Elena portals back from where they had started off. Asrar and every other supernaturals didn't see queen Jocey with them.

"Thank goodness you all are okay? I was worried." The winter fairy Spirit said, drawing everyone to her embrace.

"Yes we're all okay except for…" Elena tried holding back her tears.

"What is Elena's problem?" Asrar asked, directing his gaze at Uriel.

"We lost Queen Jocey. I wasn't able to protect her." Uriel said, giving out a sigh falling down on his knees.

"What? Bring back our queen!" Bell yells trying to attack Uriel.

"Wait Bell, let's hear what he has to say, okay?" Shimmer said, holding her back.

"We were about to enter the next realm completely exhausted and thirsty. Your queen decided to have a drink and she melted into a puddle of goo. I tried to stop her but I was too late. I have failed you and your people. Am sorry about that." Uriel wailed, hitting his fist on the ground.

" I guess I can't blame you huh? *sniffling* I understand now." Bell asked, hugging shimmer as she rested her head on her chest.

"Am sorry Bell * Sniffling* I know how close you were to Queen Jocey. Am sure she's already at rest wherever she is." Shimmer said gazing up to the bright blue sky.

* a moment of silence was held for Queen Jocey*

"Elena what did you manage to succeed in your journey?" Asrar asked as he meditated close to a river.

"Yes I was." Elena said, staring at him from behind.

"What were you able to discover?" Asrar asked, meditating as he bowed down his head.

"We got to the Warredand, The Spirit Land. There I was able to speak with Vinix. She told me how we would save Winterfell from Leuvis." Elena said, still gazing behind Asrar.

"What did she say must be done?" Asrar said, turning around to face Elena.

"In order for Winterfell to be saved we would need to find a fairy born of lilies. That is not possible! I mean this is the first time I am hearing of that and I don't know anyone born of lilies." Elena said, scattering her hair with her hands.

"Are you sure about that Elena?" Asrar asked, turning his back to her.

"Yes I am. I guess Winterfell is doomed for good." Elena said, falling down on her knees glancing at the flowing river.

"Is that how you give up so easily? You do know that your special Elena." Asrar said, forming a Crystal ball.

"Yeah? Why am I not seeing it? What if the prophecy was wrong to choose me." Elena asked, trying to get up on what little energy was left.

"The prophecy never lies Elena. Now let me show you something in the crystal ball." Asrar said, dropping the crystal ball in her river; ``Now Elena dip your two hands where the crystal is; ``Now what do you see?" Asrar said, leading Elena gently to the river.

Elena places her two hands in the river as a puddle of water was made showing a visible mirror.

"I see…Leuvis! What is she doing?! Oh…God…No; " Winterfell…what did she do?" Elena said as she watched Leuvis creates a demonic magic void.

"Now with this…All light supernaturals will be destroyed for good! Winterfell will be brought down and no one will stand in my way! Hahaha! Hahaha!" Leuvis laughs as Winterfell is covered with dark clouds and red thunderstorm lighting.

"Now Elena is that how you want Winterfell to be? I believe in you." Asrar said as he magics off the crystal ball.

"Now what should I do?" Elena asked, stepping out of the river.

"There is only one way. You will have to go to another realm which will reveal to you how to get a fairy born of lilies but it costs a price." Asrar said, summoning up a book.

"I will do anything! No matter what." Elena said gazing at Asrar intensely.

"You will need to sacrifice something dear to you which you can't leave with. Are you ready to make such a sacrifice Elena?" Asrar said, opening the book and placing it on an altar.

"Yes you can take my powers away or my locket belongings to my mother." She said taking off the locket from her neck.

"I mean a person. Someone very close to your heart. I know you already know what that means?" Asrar said in a serious tone as he directed his gaze at Elena.

"No…you don't Mean?... Forget it! Not happening! How do you expect me to sacrifice my best friend?! I can't!...No please anything Else but that." Elena said in pain holding back her tears.

"I am afraid that is the only way. You have to hurry, we do not have time." Asrar said disappearing off in mid-air.

Elena begins to weep bitterly, tossing some pebbles in the water. She screams and hits her hand on the ground angrily. Elevina hears Elena's wail and quickly comes to look for her. There she saw Elena crying bitterly.

"Elena? Why are you crying?" Elvenia asked from a distance.

"Elevina!" Elena flies hugging Elvenia warmly in her arms.

"Yes Elena what is the matter? Is everything okay?" Elevina asked, wrapping her hands around Elena's back.

"No, I am not. Asrar said that finding a fairy born of lilies blood requires a sacrifice and the sacrifice is…is you elevina." Elena said in a trembling voice fixing her eyes on Elevina.

"Is that why you're crying? Elena we both knew sacrifices would be made but honestly didn't think I'd end up dying. I would be happy sacrificing myself as long as I got one last chance to talk to you; " Being friends with you has made me stronger. Am very lucky to have met you. I couldn't ask for anything else. I love you." Elevina said, kissing Elena on her head gently.

"I love you too unimaginable. Thank you for everything you did for me. I'll never forget it and most especially you." Elena said sniffling underneath her breath as she gave Elvenia one last glance.

"It's time Elena. Are you ready for Elvenia?" Asrar asked Elvenia to stand at the altar.

"Yes I am." Elevina said with a smile across her lips.

"Now Elevina, place your hand on the book of sacrifices and repeat after me." Asrar said stretching his arms wide open and enchants;

"I, Elevina, offer myself and soul to the book of sacrifices in exchange for the freedom of Winterfell! Sustum blotex dumcum alxerium porturm mumbistum!" Elevina enchants with Asrar.

Suddenly the book raises up and opens a light void sucking Elevina's soul and body. What remained of her was only her cloth and the gemstones Asrar had given her.

"It is done." Asrar said, closing the book.

"No!... Elevina…please come back!...I didn't tell you the truth." Elena sobs, picking up her cloth and gemstone from the ground.

"Guilty I see. Are you truly her friend Elena?" Asrar asked, moving towards Elena.

"I…I was scared I would lose her for good. I didn't want anything bad to happen to her and that's why I wiped off her memory but…she's…gone and it's all my fault!" Elena said, holding Elevina's belongings tightly.

"Love can make us make reckless decisions but you may have one last chance to come clean and tell her the truth." Asrar said, wiping off Elena's tears.

"Really? How pls? " Elena asked, facing Asrar.

"You will journey back to the realm of the spirit and you can have the chance to talk to Elevina; Are you ready Elena?"Asrar said as he picked Elena from the ground.

"Yes I am. This time around I'll destroy Queen Leuvis for good and avenge my friends' sacrifices. Leuvis get ready for your destruction." Elena said, wiping off her tears as she wore Elvenia's gemstone.
