Arabelle and The Cursed Kingdom

The skies let loose an extremely loud boom and torrential rain and due to the extremely strong wind, some trees also fell.A powerful storm arrived late at night. The sleeping Arabelle seemed unconcerned. On her forehead, big droplets of sweat started to form. She attempted to move her body but she couldn't . She tried to open her eyes but it seemed something was weighing down her eyelids."S-stop it," Arabelle said, who was now having a nightmare."Ngh," she moaned.The wind was so strong that the window suddenly opened. Arabelle's dark room was lit up like a camera flash whenever the sky emitted a bright lightning.The maiden continued struggling to wake up from her nightmare, who had now started breathing heavily. "What are you doing?" Arabelle asked as she slept, tears running down from her cheeks."This is for your own benefit," an enigmatic woman proclaimed from her dreams. It had no face and the entire surrounding was fully blurred, making it difficult for her to see who it wa

Arabelle's entire body aches and she feels disoriented as she half-awoke to the sound of wings fluttering and birds of prey chirping. She was finally jolted awake by a loud snap.She found herself sprawled out on the muddy ground. Arabelle sighed and rolled her eyes at the entire section. She discovers she's inside the dead branch pile. There is darkness, and only the moonlight acts as a source of light.Arabelle was confused as to why she was there. The sudden rustling of the branches surrounding her as if someone or something had purposefully cut them off with a sharp object was one of her wonders. Her gaze followed every crackle, and the quicker her heart pounded on twitter. She could hear a noise coming from behind, in front, on both sides, and above her. Whatever creatures were outside seemed to be surrounding her.As the crackles abruptly stopped, Arabelle exhaled a sigh of relief. She clutched her chest and took a long breath to calm herself down. However, the crackles reappear

Grandpa Mago and Gretel looked up at the flying clamator (Owl soldier) carrying Arabelle, Ulula was also flying with them. It took two days for the prince to respond to their request letter, in which the citizens wanted Arabelle to temporarily live in the palace to protect her from the evil Guardian."I will miss the Dear Priestess grandpa," Gretel sobbed as she hugged Mago's feet."Don't be sad, Gretel; we will all miss the Priestess, and don't worry, we will visit her at the palace the next day," Mago said as she stroked her granddaughter's fluffy back.Gretel's sadness was alleviated by her grandfather's words.**************************Arabelle, on the other hand, forced herself to open her eyes, despite her fear, to see the beautiful scenery below; even though the entire community is covered in darkness, its beauty cannot be hidden, the lights that come from the market, homes, and other infrastructure in the entire area look like fireflies, and the overall capacity of the commun

"A tuberose represents arousal, lust, and obsession with another person; it may indicate that the person who gives it is struggling to let go of someone or experiencing stronger emotions than she/he had anticipated," Aegolus explained as he examined the flower in his left claw."I thought she wanted to be friend with me? But it appears she wants something more," the Prince thought seriously to himself. "Maybe she was fascinated and fell for my charm when we first met, which is why she wanted to make out—" He didn't finish what he wanted to say when he felt his entire face heat up and hurriedly covered his beak in shame with his left wing.*****************************Arabelle, on the other hand, nearly passed out from embarrassment at knowing the flower's unpleasant symbol."I admire your bravery, Dear Priestess; you gave His Highness the tuberose, which symbolizes intercourse," Vaste said astonishingly, admiration on the bird's face."Vaste, watch your mouth!" Ulula admonished."It'

Prince Aegolus was sleeping and hanging upside down from the broken chandelier when he was startled awake by a familiar presence inside the castle."This magic!" He thought to himself."I can't be wrong... Stygius!" His eyes widened.The bird flew outside his room and began to roam. He looked around the castle for the owner of that magical presence. After failing, the prince was about to return to his room when he noticed white confetti scattered on the floor of the first floor corridor near the stairs.He swooped down and landed in the vicinity. The bird examined it more closely."It looks familiar," Aegolus observed. When he reflected on where he saw these scattered little flowers, he realized it was the flower he had left on Arabelle's terrace."Oh no—" He was cut off by Vaste's shrill scream from the priestess room."The priestess had gone missing!" Ulula exclaimed.The prince's nerves tingle with rage when he hears those words."Klaoss!"Behind Aegolus, a 7-foot-tall general clama
