~~ AUTHORS POV ~~
Pain, fear, ambition, vengeance, anger, and hope could be felt in the air of country D.
power is one thing that could change one's life negatively as well as positively but still, we all want it
On one side of the kingdom, plots were being made on how to acquire the ring of power
while at another plans were being made to stop the foreseen destruction.
Zamiel who was still wondering what Carmela was up to kept following her around the waterfall in hopes of getting a clue from her moves, he couldn't help but feel relieved hearing about the arrival of the witch princess as he wouldn't have to wait any longer to break the spell placed on Carmela
unknown to him that bigger news awaited him
" hubby am done, " Carmela said making her way towards him
" Alright..so why did you choose to come here of all places? " he asked feeling suspicious of her sudden behavior
" ahem.. actually I wanted to come camping so I decided to check out this site "
" then why close to the waterfall "
" I just feel at peace over here " she tried covering up hoping Zamiel would stop throwing questions at her.
Zamiel on the other hand decided to play calm and lead the way back to the castle as it was already late.
~~ ZAMIEL POV ~~
one thing is for sure and that's something is up with Carmela as much as I want to interfere I also want to see what mischief she's up to but I'll first have to meet with the witch princess
" lady Hazel " I greeted stepping into her room
" king Leviathan " she stood up and did a curtsy
" well let's cut all formalities, you know why am here "
" as much as I will love to help his Highness solve his challenge the more I fear to break the news to you that it's not possible to solve this problem "
" Why? Why can't it be broken even the siren queen agreed to help so why back out now? I know you might be worried about the safety of your grandchildren but ... " I tried reassuring her but she interrupted me
" king Leviathan am not scared of the safety of my grandchildren because I know they are safe with you here but there is one thing we are missing," she said and my curiosity got the better of me
" which is? " I asked and she quickly brought out a scroll, not just any scroll as it has the four-element seal which is strange as I don't remember placing any seal on anything and such a seal can only be made by the rulers of each element
" This is the prophecy," she said excitement lingering in her voice
" of? "
" The keeper of the ring of destruction "
hearing this I suddenly felt something strange boil up in me making me clench my fist into a ball
" how sure are you, " I asked
" you might not believe me but there is no way you'll doubt what it says and the writer," she said and opened the scroll
" The very thing I wish for when am awake, asleep, or walking is the feeling that makes you forget the pain hurting now. Death!
which one craves for but never comes, being alive hurts but you can't take away the life that's not yours as you can't give it back.
Why? why do we live a life we don't wish for? claiming the bundle of joy I bring forth without giving it a chance to see the refreshing sunlight from the sky
Death! this is the only thing that can put an end to everything as my story ends here .. but is it really the end of my goals?
I don't think so
As I find myself running from sanity to insanity
from reality to visuality
thinking of ways to solve the burden I have to carry
but I fear there is none as am the only key to a new beginning
QUEEN LUNA. "
she read and I felt my heart sink hearing those last words
"This might seem like just a poem to everyone in actual sense it did sound like one when I first read it, but after the birth of both my grandchildren, i noticed that Carmela always showed signs of using her power although it was locked and taught it was normal since both their parents are powerful beings..i also noticed that Carmela suddenly gained an interest in poetry at the age of five which I found weird " she said showing me a scrambled piece of paper which from the looks she tried as much as possible to straighten up
" at first I couldn't understand why Carmela wrote the same poem as that of the queen on her first attempt..not until a few days ago "
" so what's the connection? "
" Carmela is a reincarnate of the late queen "
" w..what do you mean that ... "
" Go through the scroll, at the beginning she pleaded for death and, at the end, she made it clear that she's the only one to solve this problem "
" I didn't ask for you to explain the poem just tell me what makes you think that the spell shouldn't be broken. "
" firstly haven't you noticed the sudden changes in Carmela's attitude, unlike Carlene Carmela doesn't have a soul making it easy for her to absorb any person's soul and convert it into what we do not expect.. and might actually create havoc
the spell Lucifer placed on her is like a shield protecting her from negative energy while she absorbs the remaining of Luna's soul do you understand? "
well, I could understand what she meant but still, I doubt that realize that am no longer here...
I made my way back to my room as her words kept playing in my head, I took a sit on my bed and took another look at the scroll and memories suddenly started flooding back
. . .
" your highness her majesty is having another attack," a maid said and I quickly left the training session I had with Xavier just to find my Queen in a mess
" LUNA! " I called running beside her
" NO, LET GO! " She screamed throwing everything she could lay her hands on
"She's going to kill me and my baby ! " she screamed pushing me away violently but there was no way am going to give in.
Although it is never easy to calm her down during her attacks, she ends up locking herself in a room after each attack not wanting to see anyone which worries me
" Zamiel make me a promise not to go farcical if one day I leave you," she said pain visible in her eyes
" you shouldn't say such a thing and there is no way I'll let you leave my side okay," I said and place a kiss on her forehead
...
I opened my eyes and it was all a dream the witch princess's words from last night never left me not even in my dreams.
and there is no way I would doubt the scroll as only Luna knew details about the ring of destruction and its a keeper not to forget that before her death she always claimed not to be the rightful owner of the ring although having a lot of information about it which even the royal ritual organizer couldn't discover having performed ever ritual he could.
No wonder I suddenly started perceiving Luna's scent on Carmela.
Having Carmela be the ring keeper isn't the issue, the issue now is how to find the ring as I displaced them after the death of Luna since I couldn't destroy it
" Ahhhh !!! " I suddenly heard the screaming of maids and I suddenly felt my head throb
' what could be the issue now? ' I wondered as I sluggishly made my way toward the scene which was quite devastating but still, I didn't care
" what's going on? " I asked and a maid rushed towards me with her hand bleeding profusely
" your highness we went to wake her majesty but there was suddenly a huge explosion throwing us across the room when we regained ourselves her majesty was nowhere to be found " she informed and I couldn't help but wonder what drama I was going to witness today
" your highness prince Asher request your urgent attention outside " a maid informed and I teleported outside to know the reason why i was being called just to find a huge storm heading this way
" Leviathan am afraid we are too late "
" meaning? " I questioned
" Carmela is already taking the form of mother infinity "
this is one news I never wanted to hear or witness what a bad way to start my day
" go and prepare the car when have somewhere we need to go to now "
