Without saying anything, Princess Rada walked out of the room pulling the key out of the key hole and locked it from the outside. She then secured the key in her dress pocket and for a good while just stood there with more of a wondered look on her face than she had before. Could she have gotten the wrong person? Not possible, she could sense the essence on her. It had to be her but afraid of the night, that didn't make any sense at all. She then walked off and went back down the stairs and made her way to the dining hall. Her mother, Queen Gwen who looked just like an older version of her but had short black hair, was sitting at one end of the large ten chaired table and Princess Rada joined her, sitting at the other end.
The table was empty and only had two plates on it; one in front of Queen Gwen and the other in front of the chair at the other end, both with a large piece of steak on it and a side of mushrooms. On the side of the plate was a glass of wine and on the othe
After dinner, Queen Gwen and Princess Rada went up to the room in which Loque Bella was in and they found her just sitting on the bed."Hello moon essence," Queen Gwen said."Stop calling me that. I am not a moon essence," Loque Bella said. "What is this moon essence you keep refering to me as anyway?" she then asked."It is what you are.""What is it?""No need to get agitated, you will know soon enough," Queen Gwen said. "Quickly tie her up," she then said to Princess Rada who was standing behind her with a rope in her hand."Tie me up, no," Loque Bella said standing up."Just relax," Princess Rada said as she walked towards her."You want to tie me up and you want me to relax, no. I refuse you to do that.""Refuse us, darling you are in no position to refuse anything," Queen Gwen said. "You our captive, we saw what happens to you not you.""Calm down we're not going to hurt you," Princess Rada said."At
Loque Bella was still out in the darkness; still screaming and still her normal self."She's not transforming mother!" Princess Rada shouted."Give it time!" Queen Gwen shouted and just then something happened. Loque Bella began to glow with a turqouise light and feeling something come to life inside of her she immediately stopped screaming; opening her eyes and removing her hands from her ears.She looked at her hands and she could see right through them; her whole body too, her entire being was not just glowing a gentle turqouise light but was transparent, her hair also and when she stood up, looking at herself with her jaw completely dropped, something else happened. From behind her butterfly-like wings spread out; big and wide, also glowing and transparent and looking at her in her moon essence form, Queen Gwen and Princess Rada were blown away; eyes widened and with their mouths agape. They could not believe that they were actually looking at her. They had
"So why am I here?" Loque Bella asked."You are here to do what you were born to do . . . To heal," Queen Gwen responded."To heal what?""To heal whom.""My brother. Prince Mangus," Princess Rada answered."What's wrong with him?""He is . . . He is cursed.""Cursed?" Loque Bella went."Yes. He has been cursed for many many years and we would like your power to break the curse""My power can do that?""Your power deary can do so much. You are a healing spirit, anything that is damaged, sick or cursed . . . You can make better," Queen Gwen said."That is why you are here, to break my brother's curse so that he may return home," Princess Rada said."He has been away for far too long, it's time for him to come home.""What happened? How did he become cursed?" Loque Bella asked and Queen Gwen and Princess Rada passed a look at each other."His father cursed him.""Why?""Beca
On the road Prince Callum and Mr. Braun continued. Riding down the road to through the forest to Monteg. They rode all throughout the morning and then stopped by the side of the road to let the horses rest; they stopped by the river side and so the horses quenched their thirst as well. Mr. Braun looked at Prince Callum who was sitting on a large rock lost in thought; both with bowls of soup in their hands."No harm will come to her. We will get to her in time," Mr. Braun said."Why do they want her?" Prince Callum asked. "The fayagans . . . Why do they want her?""We don't know. Her mother just told us they want her because of her power.""What power is that?""I don't know. All her mother said was to protect her from the night and that was what we did," Mr. Braun said."I guess the animal attack she suffered when she but a child worked well to your advantage.""There was no animal attack.""What?" Prince Callum turned to his h
Night time fell and in Monteg, Loque Bella was in her room standing by the window and looking out. There was a gentle fire burning in the fire place and outside a gentle breeze blew.Just then the door unlocked and swang open and in walked Princess Rada."I brought you a cloak. Put it on it's cold out there," Princess Rada said holding a grey fur cloak in her hand that she then threw onto the bed."Where are we going?" Loque Bella asked."We're going deep into the mountains. That's where the cave my brother trapped himself in is.""So this is it for me huh?""We don't know that. You could survive," Princess Rada said."Could. That doesn't sound very promising.""I'm sorry Loque Bella but you are the only one who can help my brother. This has to be I'm sorry.""Yes but at the cost of my life," Loque Bella said and turned to her. "How can the two of you be this cruel?""We are not cruel. We are in pain and hav
A moment later Princess Rada had removed a few of the large rocks that were covering the opening of the cave in which Prince Mangus was in and Loque Bella had climbed through it and was walking through the dark cave with an oil lantern. She had taken off her fur cloak and left it outside with Princess Rada who was standing with butterflies in her tummy; she didn't know Loque Bella much but she knew she was of good heart. She didn't want to see anything bad happen to her. "Be careful Loque Bella," Princess Rada said to herself as she watched walk deeper into the cave. She walked through the darkness with the oil lantern held out in front of her to see where she was going, tip toeing along the cave floor and following the sound of Prince Mangus in deep sleep; shaking like a leaf and with her heart beating as loud as a drum. The cave was dusty and stuffy and had cob webs hanging everywhere; cob webs she had to remove from her path in order to keep moving. Loque Bella walked on and hea
Princess Rada walked up to the hole and looked into the darkness to try and see through it but she couldn't see anything; all she could hear was heavy breathing."Mangus . . . Brother?" Princess Rada gently called out as Loque Bella, still in her moon essence form, was standing a good distance behind her. "Brother?""Uh . . . Rada," a voice from in the inside of the cave said; baritone like the sound of a thunder storm."Huh he's back, he's back. Mangus!" she said and quickly got into moving away a few of the rocks to make the opening bigger.Just then Prince Mangus crawled out of the darkness and into the moon light; breathing so heavily and with his skin so moist like he just had water poured on him. He too had long white hair like Princess Rada which was at the moment falling over his face and was shirtless in a pair of grey cotton trousers that were torn at the bottom."Oh my goodness brother," Princess Rada said and helped him to his feet. He
Morning came and in the kingdom of Monteg Princess Rada, wearing a long gown, made her way down the corridor to Loque Bella's room. She unlocked and swung the door open and found Loque Bella sitting on the bed and looking out through the window at the mountains that bound the kingdom."You're awake," Princess Rada said and she turned to her, wearing a white night dress. "I came to announce to you that breakfast will be served soon and that you need to get ready.""Ready in what? The only dress I had is ruined. I have nothing to wear," Loque Bella said."Yes you do." She walked to the large wooden wardrobe in the corner and swung its doors open and inside were fancy dresses of different colours. "You can help yourself to either one of these dresses.""Wow," she said standing up and walked up to stand beside her. "They're beautiful.""They are.""Are these yours?""Yes they are," Princess Rada answered."I thought this was a spar
