"What??" Abi exclaimed. "That's bad". Evie was a witch who saw the future events through her dreams.
"I'm confused, did Hazel stab herself to kill the prince of darkness or did Prince Owen do it? Abi asked.
"I'm sorry but I don't know, I only saw what happened there and that was all, " Evie said.
"It's the prince of darkness that stabbed Hazel, but why would he do that when it means he'd die as well?" Abi asked.
"It would be Prince Owen, Lucius wouldn't hurt me" Hazel finally spoke.
"Lucius?" Abi and Evie asked together.
"I have something to tell you girls," Hazel said explaining everything from her encounter with Lucius, to what they saw at the cave and lastly to their relationship.
"So you mean ending darkness means you stabbing Lucius with the hawthorn wood?" They asked her as she nodded.
"Princess Hazel, you're summoned for your wedding" a guard came to announce.
"What?" The trio exclaimed together.
"Your wedding with Prince Owen is in possession already," he said
"I want to speak with my dad," Hazel said before running off. All the attempts she made to stop the wedding fell through as she was married off to Owen that day.
Abi summoned her dragon and flew to the fountain Hazel had told them about, she was looking for the mountain with a crest. She had to tell Lucius of the wedding, she believed Owen would try to kill Hazel after the wedding so he'd be king of Yvlia, after all, that was the bounty for anyone who could kill Hazel and end the darkness. It was late at night when she saw the mountain, a figure was standing in front of it.
"She's married out to an enemy" Evie blurted out to the figure in front of him. Lucius eye's burned with rage as he heard her.
"I am Evie, Hazel's friend. Her father married her off to Prince Owen of Rennox Castle and he's going to kill her just to end the darkness' ' Evie said. Hazel had told Lucius about Evie and Abi, she had also mentioned Owen's interest in marrying her, he brought his wings and flew towards the castle of Yvlia. When he got there, he saw a female crying while looking at Hazel's room window.
"Where's Hazel?" Lucius asked her.
"Hazel?" Abi asked. "She is on her way to Rennox Castle. Are you Lucius?". He nodded before flying away.

"Why did you want to get married to me?" Hazel asked.
"Cause I like you Hazel" Owen replied. Their carriage kept moving and all Hazel thought of was Lucius and her friends; Abi and Evie. The carriage abruptly stopped, throwing its passengers off balance
"What the hell?" Owen cursed.
"Hazel! Hazel!!" Lucius shouted from outside as Hazel gripped the hem of her gown, Lucius was here. The door of the carriage was thrown open as Lucius threw Owen out of the carriage and pulled Hazel out.
"Are you okay?" Lucius asked Hazel as he hugged her.
"What?" Owen asked as the guards opened their eyes in shock.
"Are you two secretly together?" Owen asked.
"You have a problem with that?" Lucius asked. Owen smiled inwardly, he was going to kill two birds with one stone.
**Yvlia palace
"Wasn't that the crown prince of Daichi?" The King of Yvlia asked Abi after he saw her talk to Lucius.
"Yes, he is" Abi replied
"What were you doing with our enemy, Abi?" He asked.
"Help! Hazel is in danger " Evie rushed in saying.
"What are you saying?" Hazel's mother asked.
"I had a vision, Hazel is…." Evie couldn't complete her statement as everyone already understood what she saw.
"Get our strongest men ready, we are going to Rennox Castle, princess Hazel is in danger" the King commanded.
Abi summoned her dragon and she and Evie got on it. The army moved at their fastest pace to get to their princess.

"Guards, finish him up" Owen ordered as he seized Hazel from helping him. He quickly brought out a silver bell and stabbed Hazel with it. Hazel turned around sharply and she raised her hands to hit Owen, dozens of silver bells riddled her body.
"Nooooo" Lucius screamed as he watched Hazel cough out blood and hold on to Owen for strength. Lucius went berserk and finished off all the guards in a flash while Owen waited for him to fall dead but was surprised when he stood still.
"Fool, killing me won't kill Lucius, I'm the only one who could kill him, " Hazel said as she finally fell to the ground.
"Hazel!!!!" Lucius screamed as he rushed at Owen, slashing his stomach to his chest with his sword
"Stay with me, Hazel! Please" Lucius cried and pleaded as he telepathically communicated with his mom requesting help.
"L…Luc" Hazel struggled to call.
"Save your strength, Hazel, help is on the way," he said crying. Hazel sadly smiled as she looked at the moon that shined on them.
"Go away Lucius, I'd end this with me," Hazel said.
"No, I'm not leaving you, Hazel, never". Hazel saw Owen approach Lucius with the hawthorn wood, she weakly pushed Lucius away before screaming with her last strength, immediately light enveloped everything, destroying everything and everyone there, the inhabitants of the Rennox castle were all killed in Hazel's last rage, Owen, Hazel and Lucius all lost their lives there.
"Hazel!!!" Evie and Abi with all their company screamed as they saw Hazel's light shine brightly. The light formed a barricade, preventing them from coming closer as they could only see the lifeless body of Hazel from afar. The moon immediately turned red and the barricade was finally broken.
"Hazel!!!" Evie said as she ran to carry her best friend.
"Arrgh" Evie screamed as she staggered behind, "Owen, Owen killed Hazel" Evie said she got the vision of the fight when she touched Hazel's dead body.
"He killed her," Evie said as everyone started crying. Hazel's parents held her close and cried, begging her to wake up and just then the people of Daichi arrived at the scene.
