CHAPTER 1-----HOW IT STARTED

It all started with an explosion. Wait—no, it started when the Queen began having a bad feeling in her gut. Something was happening or going to happen and it would affect her daughter in a way. And so the beautiful Queen made her way to her daughter's room and sighed in relief. The feeling didn't go at seeing her daughter. Rather, it lingered. She decided to carry her daughter in her arms for good measure.

Then, and it was only then, that the exploding sound came with a force so high that even the Almighty Queen was shot out of her seat.

"Luke, what is the matter?" She asked, staring at her guard. He sighed and then replied,

" I think it might've been an attack but the soldiers have it han–" And just as he was about to complete that sentence, another explosive sound punched their ears. The Queen panicked as she looked at her little Princess.

"Call me Farah. Now!" The Queen yelled out. Farah was her head maid and closest friend in the palace. Luke ran out the room as Queen Malina paced back and forth trying to understand what was going on.

"Queen Malina," Farah called as she entered the room, "What's the matter?"

" The Kingdom is under attack. There is no way I can let my daughter be taken by a psychopathic idiot." Queen Malina exclaimed.

"What are you suggesting, Malina?"

" Go to earth—and take Madi with you." Queen Malina finally said. Farah gasped as another explosive sounded.

"What about you?"

" I have to defend my people." Malina said as she stared at the child in her arms. A tear slid down her eye and fell on her daughter's face. The tiny baby cooed slightly and giggled as she tried to grab her mother's crown.

"But before you leave, I'll have to make Madi Queen. In case I don't win this fight. At least the kingdom will be safe for a while." Malina declared. Farah stood still, looking at Malina warily. Queen Malina placed her daughter on the royal seat and then said some incantations before finally placing the oversized crown on her head.

As the crown touched her head, a bright light shone in the room and the baby rose up.

" To fulfil my destiny." The baby spoke in an angelic voice and then fell back on the chair as the bright light disappeared. The Queen removed a pendant from her neck and then tied it on her daughter's neck.

"Farah, here." She said, handing the unaware baby to Farah. Madi as a child was enjoying what was happening and the constant shake of the land. She giggled as she was passed from hand to hand. Malina's eyes filled but she tried to blink back the tears.

"I promise to take care of her and serve her with all I have. Never once will she have a reason to complain." Farah promised as she knelt down for Malina's blessing. Malina placed her hand on her head and passed a few powers to her.

"I wish you well." Malina muttered, tearily. A sound came from the door as if someone was trying to break in.

"May you be blessed." Farah muttered to Malina. Malina looked in the direction of the door and gasped at the huge dent in it.

" Go, Farah! I can only hold them for so long." Malina spoke. She gave her daughter one last look and then went to stand in front of the door so she could hold the intruders off long enough for Farah to get to the escape route.

Farah quickly hid behind the door so immediately it burst open, she would run out of there. Things happened exactly as planned and Farah managed to run out. As she made her way down the corridor, she heard the Queen scream in pain and she was tempted to run back. Farah turned around and as she was close to the to the door, the Queen saw her and screamed.

"Farah, no! Don't come any closer, Farah! Run!" The Queen yelled. Farah hesitated and was about to help the Queen but the Queen shouted, " As your Queen I order you to go!"

"I'm sorry but you're not my Queen." Farah muttered as she strapped the baby in a baby carrier and started casting spell after spell until she had freed the Queen from the people. Queen Malina glared at Farah as she marched towards her.

" What if you had endangered her." She yelled.

"But I didn't."

" I ordered you!"

"Well, you aren't my Queen. The baby is." Farah answered back. "Let's go." She and Malina ran out of the Palace. As they got out, they realised they were surrounded.

Malina pulled off her clothes and immediately a bright light surrounded her as she was dressed in her battle suit. Since she had made Madi Queen, a few of her powers had weakened but years of experience still kept her. Malina's eyes shot lasers at the intruders and Farah held the baby while still attempting to escape.

After a while, their leader stepped in front of Farah and Malina and they gasped.

"I thought he was dead!" Farah muttered.

" Me too." Malina replied as she stares at the man before her. Batista.

"Your lousy little powers only weakened me for a while. I didn't die so instead of looking so shocked let's battle it out." Batista dared. Malina discreetly eyed the baby strapped to Farah's front as she thought of a way to make it easy for Farah to escape.

"Oh, my. When did little Farah give birth? Must be a cute baby. Don't worry. I'll make sure you're both fine before I finish the child. It'll be as painless as I can make it." Batista cooed. He walked to Farah's front and attempted to touch the child but Malina immediately pushed him away.

" Fine, let's take this to the battle field." She said. Batista smirked as he eyed her. Only a few of his men were left. The rest were fighting elsewhere. As he and Malina were fighting, Farah had run away and found the escape route. She got into what would take her away and then activated it. As she left, a final blow was delivered to Malina and she fell.

"Malina!" Farah screamed at the same time Madi let out a blood curdling cry. Farah caught a slight smile on Malina's face as she stared at the moving vessel. One good thing was that nobody knew what had transpired in the throne room—or so they thought?
