HARNEY'S POV:
King Nashall was right, only Ben can help us now. He has been in the fight of Alpha and Venom, the Night Riders, It will be best if we take his suggestions. Without wasting any time, I called-" FLINN?"
Within no time, my royal pet owl came flying from the window as he sat on the nearby chair waiting for my order
I smiled and said-" Oh my dear Flinn, How magnificent you have been grown to. I still remember when we first met." I smiled and he bowed showing his respect.
I gave him a piece of paper asking him to send this off to Ben. He flew away as we waited for his return.
SHAWNA'S POV:
With the help of Felix, I now finally know about the prophecy of the lost princess. It's me!!! I am the broken seed. I saw what happened that night, how my father didn't believe my mom, and she was banished from this WitchLand. During my birth, only once did my father come to meet us... and that is when he gave me the wand as per my fate!!! The wand chose me after 300 hundred years!! And I am the sole owner of this powerful magnificent wand. The prophecy was-" The flower will bloom from a broken seed, the one who was born with the blood of a slave and a king. She shall hold the power of this magnificent wand. But be aware, her blood is the only key to the gate of hell, as is she, as an anchor of the hellgates. She must know her power and endure it to save the world. But if she failed she shall become the sacrifice of the evil, the one who will destroy this land..."
I couldn't believe what I saw... I saw the face of dad which I never wanted to see. His most cruel and beast form. Where he banished my mother without letting her explain. I saw how she has been portrayed as a villain and nobody tried to listen to her despite her telling the truth that night. My heart ached while remembering my mom's crying face. I started to feel angry with dad. But, what caught my attention is... how can this be true? If I fail, I would be a sacrifice to end this world? No... I will not... I will not let anything happen to this land of my people. I will protect it.
It's been three years since I own the Golden wand, but I am still not aware of its full powers. I felt a little angry with granny who never let me know about the wand anymore. Has not been Felix, I would have never been keen to know more about the wand. How can I not? It chose me, I am the owner. I have the right to know and use it to its fullest.
Felix saw I was lost in my thoughts when he said-" Shawna?"
I snapped out of my thought as I looked at him and asked-" Hmm?"
He smiled and said-" Were you thinking about the Golden wand?"
I nodded as he asked-" Let's call it. You know how to summon it. Do it"
He kind of provoked me to summon the golden wand for no reason so I tried but failed. I sighed and said-" It not gonna work Felix, Granny had put a spell on it, I would only get it when I need it"
He smirked as I get confused and asked-" What?"
He said-" The wand doesn't work like that princess, you are the rightful heir and the owner, it will have to listen to you, no matter what. No spell can keep it away from you. Try harder this time. Focus and summon the wand ordering him" He said while holding my shoulder making me understand each word.
I nodded and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and focused on the golden wand. I asked-" I want you to come to me, now"
The room filled with silence and I was still closing my eyes focusing on the wand. After a few seconds, a cold breeze blew on the room making me shiver. I opened my eyes finding the wand floating in the air in front of my eyes.
I smiled at Felix and holds it. I am happy to know that my powers are not limited related to the wand.
Felix said-" Now we need to get the spells to open the portal to the human world."
I looked at him and said-" Granny knows the spell"
He looked at me with his concerned eyes as he walked off a few steps and said-" But I don't think she will give it to you. Only if we can get the book of 'Elis' We will know more about the powers of the wand" He came back to me as he held my shoulder looking into my eyes and said-" Don't worry I will find it and get it to you. Thank you for helping me, princess."
I gave him a small smile as I said-" I should be the one to thank you" He nodded as he left the room while saying-" I will give you one more reason to behold your powers if you trust me". I was still thinking about what he asked for. It was a big decision. I should not go alone in this. I know Granny or dad would never let me use the wand for such a case but I want to know the powers of the wand. I do not want to stay in limitations.
I thought for a few minutes and I know Brad, Junnie, and Jenny would help me for sure. I want to ask Priam and John, but they were busy and I don't want to disturb them.
Suddenly I thought to meet Priam, at least give it a try. I do not want to hide things from him that he should misunderstand. I walked towards my door and suddenly my eyes fell on the bunch of roses that were lying down. I held the roses and thought-" Who put these here?"
My face turned pale thinking " perhaps Priam was here? Why did he not come inside? Did he see me and Felix? Oh no, He must have misunderstood us. I have to go to him now. It was half-past level at night. He must be back in his room.
I rushed towards his room and stood before his door. I knocked on the door for few times but nobody replied. I knocked a few times more but no response. I sighed as I was thinking about what to do now. I was scared and frustrated. I didn't want him to misunderstand us.
Suddenly Rania, a classmate of ours came from the corridor and saw me standing there. She asked-" Shawna?"
I looked back at her and smiled. She asked-" Are you looking for Priam?"
I nodded as she directed me to another way towards Jennifer's room saying-" I saw him going in Jenifer's room some time ago"
I frowned as I looked in the direction thinking what must be he doing in her room at this hour? I walked off from there after saying thanks to her. I stood before Jennifer's room and looked inside as her door was open. My eyes turned wide seeing Priam taking Jennifer in his embrace. He was hugging her while patting her head. Comforting her the way he should have been comforting me right now. I was confused and hurt to see him that way. Jealousy took over me as tears rolled out from my eyes still standing there.
This must be an illusion, he cannot do this. he was there when Jennifer accused me wrongly, why must he take her side now? I called Priam in my breaking voice-" P-Priam?"
Both of them looked back in suddenly my voice disturbed them. Priam immediately left Jennifer as she still hugging him while looking at me with her squinted eyes. She said-" Princess Shawna? Don't you have the manners to knock before coming in?"
I looked at Priam with my teary eyes as he was still standing there with a straight face avoiding my eyes. I understood It was not an illusion. He has changed. Perhaps I am the one who is a fool to come here. I said while looking down-" I-I am so-sorry Jennifer. I should have."
I ran off from there as I entered my room closing the door I fell on the bed while I cried my heart out hugging my pillow. I was hurt. I cannot believe what I just saw. I have always thought that we are different. That he is the one I can rely on. I missed those days when he use to be beside me in every situation. Everything was a lie? I must not cling to him now. He has the right to choose his choice.
I fell asleep while crying and thinking all this
AT WITCHDOM, QUEEN'S COURT:
HARNEY'S POV:
I was sitting on the throne while discussing the matter of Venom and Night Riders with a few generals and ministers. Professor Dunston, Hyle, King Makenzie, Nashall, Kelinier, and Jonny was the part of the discussion too. We were waiting for Ben to arrive.
It was almost evening still we are waiting for him. He should be here at any time now.
While we were discussing every possible possibility of the Night Riders the gate of the room opened showing Ben walking in
Jonny walked toward him as he hugged him.
Ben asked as he break the hug-" is it true which was written on the letter?"
Jonny nodded as he asked him to take a seat.
I said-" Yes, we found a body of the student of WWS with the marks of Night teeth. We were shocked to see this at first so well called you here as you have been in the part of the war between Venom, the Night Riders and the Wolves."
Ben was listening to me with concern as he nodded and said-" Yes, but as far as we know, The Alpha Gregory has defeated the Night Riders' leader Venom a long ago, banishing them from the WitchLands"
KIng Nashall said-" Perhaps that is what we knew, but they are back now"
" And we all are under threat if we do not find and kill the Night Rider now" King Makenzie exclaimed he he seemed a little scared and impatient!!!
Ben looked at him and nodded-" I understand. Can I see the body?"
Professor Dunston cast the spell to appear the body in the middle of the court
The people sitting in the court gasped as they looked at the lifeless body of the girl. Ben walked in front of the girl as he kneeled and examined the body carefully.
Ben sighed and said-" We have to call Luna now. Only she can help us".
Luna was the widow of Alpha Gregory, who died in the battle of NIghts Riders and Wolves. Venom had killed him mercilessly at the end. But wolves have won the battle and banished the Night Riders. After that Luna is in charge of the pack.
Ben cast a spell-' Vocatus Luna Megan!!'
A sudden growl echoed the palace as we flinched a little due to the sudden growl. Within no time the door burst open as we saw the Luna enter in her wolve form
Ben came forward and said-" Welcome Luna, we met again, after a long time."
She nodded as she walked towards the dead body. She sniffed the dead body as her eyes growled in anger. She left a long howl as she turned back to her human form.
She was a fearless, strong woman as she walked in front of us in dignity. She bowed before me as she showed her respect. She said-" A Night Rider has dared to attack the WitchLand after all these years?" She smirked as she sat down on the nearest chair.
I asked-" The WitchLand are under threat, we have to stop the NIght Riders before it's too late. It has already attacked The WWS, lots of students are in still threat right now, and one of them is my granddaughter, the next heir of WitchDom. We need your help, Megan."
She nodded as she looked at Ben. I knew she had the soft spot for Ben since their school time.
FLASHBACK [ year- 1972]***
AT WWS
Megan was the daughter of the beta wolves pack. Her marriage was already decided with the next Alpha of the pack since her birth. Her fate was already decided.
She was new in the school, the beautiful yet just, as of her nature. She met Ben on her first day of school. Ben and Jonny were bulling her as she was new. She smiled as she looked at Ben, she knew she could easily take down them with her wolve form but she let them go. Slowly they became friends until Gracious came into the school and their attention turned towards her.
She felt sad and wanted to confess, but Alpha Gregory got her before she could confess. He held her hands and dragged her into the forest before turning into his wolve form, as he growled and asked her to turn too.
She obeyed him and turned into her wolve from leaving her beautiful wolve sight. Alpha was amazed and attracted towards her beauty as he immediately claimed her by marking her. She knew he was her fate and she didn't deny it. She accepted him and she became his Luna. She let go of Ben as she saw him getting married to Gracious Cousin.
[ YEAR -1991]
THE WAR OF GEORGIA AND HER DISCIPLES
WOLVES FIGHTING WITH NIGHT RIDERS AND VENOM
Alpha Gregory howled and informed his pack to attack the night riders, as they were weak after the death of Georgia.
The wolves were taking over as they attack the Night Riders by taking them down one by one. But Alpha was attacked from behind suddenly by someone as it dragged the Alpha making him choke. Luna cried while howling informing others, but it was too late. Alpha's body was taken. And it was the only, Venom. The cruelest creature living in form of a Night Rider. He was known for his devilish deed. He was merciless and stronger. Luna got angry as she finished off the remaining Night Riders with her teeth. They were banished from the WitchLands after.
Luna took over the pack as the others agreed to follow her.
END OF FLASHBACK***
Luna said-" I need to visit WWS as soon as possible. Make arrangements."
I nodded as the court was dismissed.
