"What do you mean, Hama? What are you talking about?"Miranda asked the sorcerer who just kept standing. She glared at her, and then looked at lord Henry who just stood at a side, watching the both of them."Come. Let's leave this place." Hama said to them and she walked out of that part of the cave. She took a detour and soon got to a part of the cave with a thicker wall than others. Then she slapped the wall, twice before she took a step back and muttered another thing in old Elderien tongue.The wall shook and suddenly, it produced an opening. Miranda was amazed. Hama walked through the door and entered a dark room with incense burning from all sides. She took a deep breath in, moaning as she inhaled the scent of the incense."Aren't they lovely?" She asked Miranda and smiled."Please, Hama, my brother does not have much time left. He needs your help to wake up.""What makes you think I am even capable of such a feat? "Then you should at least try. Please!" Miranda begged."I can

"We're under attack!"Lord Henry said and Hela quickly jumped up. Miranda was alarmed as well. What was going on?"What's happening? Who's attacking us?" Miranda asked Lord Henry.As he was about to reply, someone charged at him from behind. He quickly ducked, dodged the attack, and slammed the person onto the ground. Just before the person could stand up again, lord Henry dug his sword into its gut.Miranda walked closer to the assailant and observed its outfit. Meanwhile, Kevin was getting out of the bed and the healer, same with Hela were both approaching Miranda as well. She looked at the assailant who had already bled to death."Mintoval!"She exclaimed. Lord Henry nodded his head."Yes. They seem to have found their way into the kingdom. What should we do now?" He asked her and she thought for a moment."I need to take back the throne. That is the only way I can truly protect the people. I do not have an army at my command and no one else outside this place knows what is going o

The whispers continued as she slowly approached the door. Like someone possessed by a force she could not understand, Miranda walked closer to the door. She could feel her heart beating heavily in her chest, her breath raspy and her entire body seemed like it was on fire. Her lips parted slowly and she shuddered.The voices persisted, the pull was so great that she could not resist it. It was too powerful, too strong. She stretched out her hand to touch the door, a strange aura enveloping her in the process. Just as she was about to touch the door, Kevin grasped her hand, bringing her back to her right State of mind. "What are you doing?" He asked her. She blinked twice and could not find an answer to the question."I...I heard something. I felt something pulling me, calling to me behind those doors. It was like a compulsion." She managed to say."What was it?" Hela asked her, confused."Wait a minute, you did not hear anything?" She asked Hela who shook her head dismissively."Why

Miranda followed the gargoyle outside as it cut through the first set of sorcerers it encountered. At first, Miranda had lost the gargoyle along the way but the screams of the sorcerers pointed her in the right direction. She ran towards the place and she figured he was not kidding.Ther on the ground were sorcerers that were once alive. Their bodies were butchered on the ground without any form of remorse. She shuddered at the sight of that, blood pouring out from every cut they had in their bodies. She could feel the fear in Hela's breath and for a moment, she wondered if she had done the right thing setting the gargoyle free. It was a beast after all, and beasts needed to be tamed. Perhaps that was why the old King kept them locked up."No!"She quickly shook her head and cast away the thoughts. She banished them as far as she could. She did not want to think like her ancestor. She was better than that. If truly fate was involved in all of it, then, perhaps she needed to trust in

"What? No! How could you even suggest Bianca of all people? Absolutely not, Hela!" Miranda fumed at Hela's suggestion. She was so angry that she could barely feel her heart. It seemed to be beating at an unbearably fast rate and she was breathless. Hela sighed, trying to comfort the princess she had offended."Please, princess. This is your only option at the moment. We need help. We need to plan. We need to rescue Kevin and whoever it is that needs our help and we need to do so quickly. We cannot accomplish that by roaming the woods. Please, you must consider." Hela begged."You do not know my cousin. She is ruthless and means. I cannot even spend a moment with her taunting right now. I am not doing it." Miranda repeated."Princess, sometimes, as a leader, you will have to do things you do not want. You will have to make uncomfortable choices but that will be for the good of everyone. Think about your brother. Think about your Kingdom who needs you at this moment. We do not have tim
