Prince Lex do not hesitate to slide his sword deep through the succubus heart as she screams aloud horribly, burning completely into ashes. Suddenly, the fog begins to fade off until it is no longer visible.... Anastasia exclaimed in delight. The fog is gone! We're free!... Prince Lex smiled. I guess we are. It's time to head back to Camp. It's already getting late. Lucas and Diana will start to get worried about us..... I guess you're right. She answered. Thanks 'Your Highness'.... She said..... For what? Asked Lex…. For coming to my rescue..... He smiled as he mutters. Since we have no winner for the horse ride, we will just have to call it quit... They're about to walk away as Lucas and Diana both shows up on a horse back.
When your horses returned back to the camp without you, then we knew you were both in trouble. Said Diana. The horses led us here.... I'm surprised they did. Answered Anastasia with a smile. Let's hurry back to camp. I'm starving....
Anastasia and the others are now back at camp as they returned the horses back to the travelers and continued on their journey to the Kingdom of Melolina. We're getting closer to the kingdom of Melolina.... Said Anastasia. I wonder what adventure awaits us here...… I'm eager to find out too. Lex added. Finally arriving at the city gate, Anastasia exclaimed in delight as she noticed many of Melolina citizens dancing and singing happily together. One of who caught her attention was a beautiful maiden who is dressed in her royal gorgeous attires and seems to be enjoying herself in the dance. ... amazing! She said.... Lucas whispers to her ear. You want to join them, don't you? Anastasia answered. Yes, I do but I can't. I understand…. he nodded. I won't risk putting your life in danger because of your ailment. The female dancer who suddenly noticed Prince Lex, approaches them.
Hello strangers. She said. You don't seem to be citizens of this town? Lex replied. How can you tell? She smiled... Your clothes and mannerism are quite different from that of our people. I could take a guess that you've come from a faraway kingdom…. You're right. We're strangers. Answered Lex. By the way, what celebration is going on here? The maiden smiled. It's the day where we celebrate our dance festival. Citizens of our kingdom as well as citizens from other neighboring kingdom all gather here together just to dance and thank the goddess of growth for a beautiful year. Do you want to join me in a dance? She stared flirtatiously at Prince waiting eagerly for his response. Anastasia thinking… Oh my! Is she flirting with him? Lex replied with a smile. I will humbly reject your request, 'My Lady'. If you don't mind, we will like to take our leave… Anastasia and the others surprised as the maiden tightly grabbed Prince Lex hand and leads him away. A little dance wouldn't hurt, will it?..... she said as she leads him to join her in dancing.
Anastasia upset...…. I can't believe she will do that. Diana answered. I guess she likes 'His Highness'. Anastasia frowns. How shameless can she be…. Flirting with a man who she doesn't even know. Diana smiled. Do I feel jealousy in your voice, 'Your Highness?'. No, I'm not! She bluntly denies. Lucas signs. I guess we have to join the others in the dance then. You both can go have fun without me. I will just be right here. Lucas replied. I won't leave you here all by yourself. You don't have to deny yourself the pleasure of excitement because of me. Just go enjoy yourself. I will be fine. Trust me. she said.... Lucas replied. Alright. If you say so. Diana and Lucas join the crowd of people who were dancing excitedly as Anastasia watches from afar... If only I could have fun just like this people when I want to, i will forever be grateful to the gods. Of course, you can. A voice whispers to her as suddenly, she sees a young beautiful lady standing right beside her. Anastasia mesmerized by her strong Presence and beauty...… Who are you? The lady smiled. I'm Lucia, the guardian of the people of Melolina.... Anastasia surprised. I guess you must be extremely powerful. All guardians I know are....
Answered the mysterious Presence. Of course, you're right. And I'm here to grant you a wish. Anastasia surprised. A wish? Why me? I'm just a stranger in your kingdom? Lucia answered with a smile. You aren't just a stranger, Anastasia. You're special. I've seen your longing to get rid of the curse which had kept you bound for so long. What if I could grant you your request and get rid of your curse?..... but then, you will have to pay a little price in return. What will that be? Asked Anastasia as intense curiosity grows in her eyes.
