Lilan's POV

"I want to run away---" What the--?! No, no that's not what I planned to wish for. I planned to wish to harbor another element and be able to master that element as I did with the air element. But is that really my true heart's desire? 

"Follow your heart Lilan."  Phoebe was right. What I just said are words my heart has spoken. Should I follow it? Mother and Grandma always said to follow my heart's desire because it will lead me to a better path and it's something the goddesses of elements have destined for me.

I looked around the crowd and they all gasped. I guessed I can't take it back now, huh? Okay then, I have decided. "I wish to be dispatched to the mortal world as a part of the Mortal Magic Dispatch Team until I am needed to fulfill my duties to the throne and to the kingdom," I said, full of determination. Again everyone gasped, something I expected.

The mortal world is the world of beings without powers... every magic-user dispatched there are those who are not capable enough to protect their families or those who have failed to protect them or orphans who grew up in the orphanage enough to marry but could not find a mate. But there was also the Mortal Magic Dispatch Team or the M.M.D.T, a group of people keeping a close eye on the magic users sent there and also on those who used black magic to get there, their job is to send back any magic-user who has violated the contract they signed before being sent there or have violated the mortal world or the laws of our world.

"Very well then." The leader of the ministry of magic replied after regaining himself as he as well was flustered with what I had just said.

"We will send you there on the next full moon before then please finish any unfinished business of yours and I am sure there are a lot of them you're princess after all." And he smiled at me, a somewhat understanding smile which eased me down even just a bit.

"I understand, and thank you, your highness," I said saying thanks to the head of the ministry of magic. He just smiled at me again and went on his way back to his workplace. And I as well went off the small podium and made my way through to get to my family with a sorry smile on my face but I was flustered to see their smiling faces.

"Mother, Father, Grandma may I ask why you seem happy when I feel like I just caused some ruckus and extra work for all of you?" I said very confusedly. "Hahahaha, it's fine  Olivia. What's best is that you followed your heart's desire and wishes that what the survival competition means, after all, to grant one's true desires."

Grandma explained

"But I just said I wanted to run away and---" I said once again confused by their reaction. "Is there anything wrong with escaping reality once in while? I also ran away back then and that's when I met your Mom" This time it was Father who said encouraging words for me.

"Here we go again with your Father's 'back in the day' stories"

Mom teased Dad which made all of us laugh at their small bickering which made me start to loosen up as well. Mom and Dad still like to act like this even after years of marriage, they still act like teenage lovers instead of a married couple. One of the reasons why I love this family.

"But what if I chose not to ever come back?" I said worriedly. "We know you'll come back 'cause that's how much we trust you." Mother said in an easing and understanding tone.

"I understand, Thank you," I said though still a bit flustered. "Hahaha, come here pumpkin!" Father said, engulfing me in his bear hug. "Dad I'm not a kid anymore stop calling me that!" I said while still my arms around for a hug from Father.

"Hahaha, and even if you chose not to come back then we'll just respect your decision," Father said in an understanding tone. "Thanks, Dad," I said thankfully. "You're welcome, pumpkin. Anything for you." And Dad wrapped me around a very tight hug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Olivia you have a visitor!" Nanny called out. "Yes, Nanny. I'll come down in a minute!" I said rushing downstairs. When I got down I saw Ryan waiting for me in the living room. I could say it's still awkward between us since our last conversation was the one at the arena

"Hey, Launa! What brings you here?" I said greeting Ryan in our own nicknames for each other. "Oh, hey Wind!  Why can't just come by, huh, my future Luna?" He said in a teasing manner which made me frown. I just still find it weird, really. From childhood friends to a future married couple.

"Oh really? Yeah sure, I believe that shit and believe that you're not actually here to stop me from going to the mortal world. Yeah, yeah, I definitely believe that." I said sarcastically, which just made him scratch the back of his head. "Oh come on, Launa, it's not as if we haven't known each other that long to not know each other's antics, I mean really, we've been friends for as long as I can remember!" I said exasperated.

"Was I really that obvious?" He asked in his sexy deep accent. "Indeed!" I said copying his accent which just made both of us laugh.

"So, um, since you already know, goddess, why am I being awkward around you since I found out that you're my mate, really!" He said as I realized we were now at our secret hideout just on the outskirts of the woods near my house. It was just a river leading towards the forest.

"You're not alone, mate!" I said while making air quotes when I said the word mate, and again we laughed, at least just for a short moment after that big revelation it felt like old times when we joked around and laughed our hearts out. Even with how much I wanted to blame someone or just anyone for being the reason that we became awkward with each other I just can't, I'm not the only one having a hard time here, even Ryan is having a hard time nor can I blame the Moon Goddess for this because this relationship might be something both of us wished for in our past lives, so I really just don't know.

"Hey, Mate is there something bothering you?" Ryan asked worriedly. "No, it's not something like that. It's just that I want to blame someone or just anyone for making things awkward, but really there's no one to blame for this one." I said.

"It's fine, mate. I understand you, don't worry." He said as he wrapped me around in a hug. Every time he hugs me it felt like home. But one question has been bothering me since that revelation. Do I really not love him? Or have I just gotten used to the feeling that I didn't notice it?

  • The Witch of Prophecy   Epilogue

    Lilan's POVFor some, my life may already seem perfect, but in the world of messed-up royalties constantly being terrorized by death threats, falling for Xander might just be the best choice I've made in life. In a world of monochromic life, your every move is dictated, expected to make the impossible possible, the moment I met him everything changed. He made life seem colorful, interesting, and unpredictable. His smiles felt like a ray of sunshine in my clouded life. I didn't even think that I would be able to live such an amazing life, and it's all thanks to him. Every few months Clarise, Callista, and Richard would sometimes visit our world with the help of Miss Ophelia. When I placed both of my mothers beside each other the similarities were uncanny and I just laughed in disbelief looking at them. Whereas Richard and Father instantly became best of friends. And my dear little baby brother started walking about two months ago. A really energetic kid he is. I also got Callista to

    Lilan's POVFor the past few weeks, I've been having these strange dreams, they were so vivid that it felt like instead of dreams they were realities, or rather, memories. And every time I wake up from them or even think about them my head would start throbbing so badly, way worse than when I totally get wasted. and ever since then, I've been taking these pills to help with the throbbing, though it did help me momentarily, it would suddenly make these daydreams about sorcerers, werewolves, and some dark lord shit and my head would start throbbing again from it.And just now I felt a strong electric current-like feeling go through my whole right arm and suddenly a strong gust of wind came out of my hand. That didn't make any fucking sense right? But it does, and it did happen. How?! I do not fucking know! I feel like I'm going crazy with what's happening. With my head throbbing so bad, worse than before, and with all that's happening around me, it will not be long till I'll probably pa

    Third Person's POVThe instant Xander and his father, the dark lord, heard the devastating news they instantly ordered the dark lord's chariot to set out towards the battlefield. Once they arrived, they were instantly met by the piercing gazes of the kingdom leaders, all of which were Lilan's close friends. The worst of them was Lilan's best friend and former mate's glares. "You!" Ryan growled. "What the fuck are you doing here, much less with that asshole who, more or less, ordered Wind's death." He shouted. Grief and anger were much evident in his expression. He was trying hard not to just shift and kill the dark lord.The dark lord whistled in amusement at his fury. "Now, now. Ryan how about let's all calm down and be civil here? I did not come here for a fight, I come in peace. I'm just escorting my son here." The dark lord said gently, asserting Ryan's anger. "Be civil?! How can you fucking say that after you fucking started a war that killed thousands, if not millions, of sorc

    Xander's POV"Welcome back, my son!" The dark lord, my father cheered. "W-where? How? Why?" I stammered. I had so many questions I don't even know where to start. I cleared my throat before continuing. "First and foremost, I want, no, I need you to stop the war right this instant. Lilan, my girlfriend, is fighting in that war right at this moment." I said. "Wait, wait. Lilan? You don't mean Her highness princess, well now Queen Olivia Lilan Wind, right?" He said seemingly confused. "Yes, that's her," I confirmed."Damn it." I heard him cuss under his breath. "How did you get mixed up with her that you ended up becoming her lover?" He asked. "We met back on Earth. She worked intern at a police station. And things just kind of happened." I briefly explained. "Well, would you look at that? My sworn enemy's daughter might just become my daughter-in-law. How ironic." He said sarcastically looking bitter like he just tasted venom. "That bi-- that kid, she's always been an annoying know-it

  • The Witch of Prophecy   Chapter 27

    Lilan's POVThis is getting way out of hand. The battlefield is drenched in blood, bodies are found in every inch, and dying moans have become a norm. In every whip of your head you'll see dozens, if not, hundreds of bodies now a mix of warlocks, witches, wolves, and fairies. Hope has been long gone in the eyes of soldiers. This has come too far. When night falls and the light of the moon comes and shines over us, that is the time we are being pushed back and even now we can't do anything. We witches and fairies are sorcerers that take life from the sun, while warlocks and werewolves take them from the moon.Our forces are weakening. Hope has been long gone in the eyes of the soldiers. I can't let this continue on. I can't let my kingdom, my world suffer when I could obviously do something for them. I must do something.When the day came, the most I could do was pep talk them into having the will to even fight and not just run off to the field to commit suicide. Encouragement did no
