Wild birds flew around the woods, their loud cry added more sentiment to the atmosphere. The soil was moist and each leaves on trees began to winter down, their dry leaves fell slowly as the time went by. Deep inside the soil, Adolphus laid still, his eyes were tightly shut and his fingers moved slowly in a way that each bone might crack if aggressively moved.A moth crawled on his leg, Adolphus felt the ticklish feeling but stayed mute not moving a part of his leg. Slowly, the moth crawled to his stomach and began to head to his face. At once, Adolphus' eyes opened and he could see clearly in the dark soil. His throat was dry and he felt a string tied around his feet. With raised head, he looked down and realized that a rope was tied around his leg. He could feel his body begin to burn, sweat trickled down his face but surprisingly, he felt no pain and the incident that happened before he fell asleep crept into his mind. The soldiers thought he was dead not knowing his immortality

Queen Suna paced back and forth, her sharp eyes fixed in space as she rampaged through her undecided mind. Lilia is becoming a thorn in her flesh and she has to get rid of her as soon as possible. It was a relief that she hasn't developed her powers, Suna knows that when Lilia does, getting to her will be very dangerous so she has to attack now that she doesn't have her witch's powers yet. Unfortunately for her, her daughter Sarah is so useless and does not possess any witch powers, she knew that on the day of her birth. But Lilia knew that her niece would possess witch powers. As Suna paced around, she remembered a time her mother called her and her twin Mena. It was prophesied in the witches coven that one of them will produce daughters and one will be powerless. And for Sarah to be that child, she knew that Lilia powers will come to play one day and the thought of that infuriated her. Suna gnashed her teeth in anger, she must let Lilia die there in the coffin. The soldiers report

Lilia walked out of the bathroom, she smelled nice and her washed hair was packed at the back with a rubber. She wore the simple and worn out gown Natacha gave her and honestly, she felt comfortable in it.She found Natacha waiting patiently for her, she sat on a sofa with a book in her hand. "You can leave now, once it is sunset, go into the woods and I shall meet you there, I know that you have burning questions that your heart needs to clear off" Natacha said in a stiff tone, her gaze fixed on the book she was reading. "Thank you" Lilia muttered and walked out the door. At the sound of the closed door, Natacha looked up and closed the book in her hand. Her brunette roommate, Genevieve with a pointed nose and black eyes, walked into the hut minutes later, "What was she doing in our home?" She inquired at Natacha who gave her a reluctant look."The queen requested that I have her washed and dressed" She briefly answered, got up and walked towards the bed leaving Genevieve looking a

The loud cry of the soldiers was heard along with the villagers who stood apart and watched the princess dragged down the Stony path like a slave, chains tied around her hands and legs.Lilia breathed difficulty, her lungs were burning and the intense heat of the sun made matters worse for her. She screamed and begged, hot tears rolled down her eyes but the soldiers were merciless. Anytime she felt weak and fell to the ground, they beat her up with strong sticks in their hands or poured her with dirty water which they collected from some villagers' stalls. The whole town watched her brutally punished and treated inhumanely, bruises appeared on Lilia's skina ns more blood oozed out from her mouth, nose, legs and hands. The soldiers shouted at any passerby on their way. They dragged Lilia down into the market place and people who came to visit from neighbouring kingdoms watched the princess with pity in their hands, children who stood apart with their mothers cried out in tears, their

The next morning, Lilia heard footsteps approaching her cell. She was awake all night and didn't sleep a wink, she studied each spell one page after the other and now, she knew all the content of the book. As the footsteps drew closer, Lilia quickly knew that more than two people were approaching, she stood up, raised her gown and tugged the book into her gown in a position where she wouldn't suspect a thing. Hastily, she sat on the floor and rested her head on the wall pretending she was fast asleep. The chains of the dungeon began to chatter, Lilia knew that they were entering, soon, she heard the door open and at once, she knew that it was Prince Philip, he was here to mock her.Prince Philip walked closer to her, he bent down and studied her face, a frown settled on him. With hardened eyes, he turned to the soilders next to him, his look ready to murder them, "I thought you said that she is badly injuries with brusis all over her skin, how come there isn't a sign of a wound on he
