The Son of the emperor and Lucas set off for their journey as the guard who was sent to look after Princess Anastasia came running towards them gasping for breathe. Sorry to interrupt you 'My lord' but the Princess had escaped. Lucas upset. What do you mean escaped?! What were you doing when she escaped? She told me she wanted to have her bath in the pool of Nile. She said she wanted privacy and asked me to leave until she's done.. When I returned, she was gone. Son of the Emperor curious... has she always been this way? Lucas replied with a smile. She has always had an eye for adventure and exploring the outside world but due to her strange ailment, she had been confined to stay only within the walls of the castle. Son of the Emperor replies... How about we go look for her? Who knows where she might be. She could be anywhere. What about your mission? Said Lucas. My mission can wait. Helping you find the Princess should be my top priority for now. He answered. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, 'good friend'. It's alright Lucas. I know you quite well. The Princess is your top priority and you will do anything to make sure she doesn't come to any harm. I guess I will have to postpone the trip until she's found. Lucas replied with a smile. I'm grateful Friend. The Son of the emperor Answered. How about we head to the pool where she escaped? There we can find out where she's headed. Let's go then.... They quickly climbed unto their horses as they ride away heading towards the pool of Nile.
Meanwhile, Princess Anastasia had walked for a long while and eventually, she reaches a seaside. She sees a boat right in the middle of the sea but no one inside it. She exclaimed. Is there anyone out there?! No reply was heard. She decided to check it out for herself as she jumped into the sea and started to swim towards the boat. She reaches the boat as she examined it carefully. It looks like this boat hasn't been
used for decades. She sits on it and started to paddle towards the other side of the sea.... Reaching the other side of the sea, she quickly got out from the boat and landed on dry land. She looks around to see if she could find something interesting and eventually, she sighted a temple a few kilometers away.
She smiled. I guess I have to check that out….. she quickly walked towards the temple. I wonder if there's anyone inside the temple? She mutters quietly to herself. Finally, she reaches the temple. It looks so dead quiet. She said. She walked into the temple and started to examine it. She sees strange images, sculptures and carvings crafted uniquely on the walls of the temple. It seems like this temple hasn't been used for years. I wonder why? Suddenly, the temple grows darker as she started to hear strange voices. We want your soul Anastasia! Give us your soul! She freaks out. Who the hell are you?! The strange voices echoed louder. We're the souls of the witches burnt to the stake by the worshippers of this temple. We're here to take away your souls.... Laugher is heard aloud as Anastasia screamed in fright as she takes to her heels...…..
