Prince Lex returned to the tent with a dejected look on his face... Lucas worried. Did you find her? Prince Lex nodded. No. I guess we have to keep trying. He replied. Diana rushes into the tent. Princess Annabella is gone! Lucas exclaimed. What do you mean gone?! She panicked. She told me she was going out for a walk at the sea shore but she hasn't shown up since then. I went to look for her but couldn't find her at the sea. I've searched everywhere I could but still haven't found her. How long has it been since she left? Asked Prince Lex. Since dawn. She replied.....Lex unpleased. I guess she ran away like a coward. We have to go look for her. Lucas declared. Lex answered with a frown. I guess we have no choice.
Meanwhile, Annabella is now at the city gate of Vastgard as she walks round the city exploring and admiring its beautiful structure and homeliness. She smiled in delight as she sighted a bridge from afar which directly leads to the castle. She mutters. I wonder if I should just go directly to the castle to report about the recent kidnap of Princess Natalia. I can't seem to figure out where the princess was taken to by those masked bandits.... As she started to walk across the bridge, she started to hear strange sounds whispering aloud beneath the surface of the water. In a confused state, she stared deep into the water as almost immediately, a magical whale jumped out of the water and landed on the bridge in front of her. Annabella stared at the creature with almost amazement.... What or who are you? Aren't you supposed to be a fish? How come you feel comfortable appearing on land? I'm Alisa.... I'm a magical creature which got no real form or physical appearance... Annabella perplexed. Then, where did you come from? What's your real identity?
Alisa smiled. I was created by the daughters of the elite to protect the four regions of 'Sarabetus'... Vastgard, Galled, Polinus, and Fernado.... There had been a recent threat on the throne of these four kingdoms.
Annabella Curious. You mean someone intends to merge these four kingdoms into one and wants to rule over them? It appears so, my loyal friend…. answered Alisa. You must warn your friends about the impending danger for I sense trouble coming. Also, you must save the princess of Vastgard, for the enemies of the four regions plan to use her as a tool to achieve their Political agenda. For the one who intends to rule over these Kingdoms is one of the strong allies of the mysterious and powerful witch 'Melissa'. She's evil and she intends to destroy the emperor of the kingdom of Tama and other regions under it by conquering these Kingdoms and turning them against the Emperor. If she succeeds in her plan, it's going to get bloody and even the common citizens will not be spared in her blood bath...
Annabella thinking.... Shouldn't that be Prince Lex's father, the creature is talking about? Alisa answered. You're right... Annabella surprised. You can read my thought?...... she gasped. How's that possib.... Alisa interrupted. it's one of the gifts I posses, she then kisses Annabella's feet and almost immediately, the creature magically transformed into Annabella....
Annabella shocked. What the hell! Is this some kind of a joke? Why do you look like me? ... The creature answered. Like I told you before, I possess no real form or entity. I only re-create myself by using the energies of others and objects.
Annabella replied. Are you saying, you can appear in whatever form you choose to simply by kissing and touching the object or person? You're quite correct. She answered. Annabella exclaimed. Wow! Amazing I must confess. Do you perhaps know the whereabout of the Princess?..... Alisa answered thoughtfully. I don't but I can grant you a magical map which can take you to the spot where she's being held captive but I must warn you, you must not journey alone. For the mission you seek is a dangerous one. Find your friends and together, you must save the Princess. I will meet you at the other side... She called forth a magical map to appear right in the middle of the air as she lifted it magically and places the map on Annabella's hands. Bye for now. She vanishes afterward.
Annabella exclaimed. Alisa! Alisa! How do I use this?..... She's gone. She stared at the map inquisitively as she thought to herself. I don't think I have the courage to face my friends, not after the mess I created. I will have to journey alone. Disregarding the warnings of the magical creature, Annabella set out to look for Princess Natalia.
