Saving Alysia 2

Nemesis: What are you doing here in the dark realm, light is not allowed here. You are disturbing us with your light!

Cynthia: I know being in the supernatural realm for long makes me less of a human. I just came to get something, I will be out soon and we give you your darkness back

Nemesis: You didn't take my darkness dear, it's always in my heart. (Laughs evilly) Hahahaha. Just get what you want and get out

(Notices the duo behind Cynthia) A ghost here? Ghosts are never here. They live on earth for unfinished business and then cross to the afterlife. What are you doing here! And you wizard, you can never be part of the supernatural realm. You belong to Earth!

Cynthia: They are here with me to get something

Nemesis: And what is that?

Cynthia: Can you just let us go. We will leave, very soon

Nemesis: I can't just let you roam in my abode, especially with those two! (Points to them)

Cynthia: Let me go, I say! Don't let me get angry!

Nemesis: Whatever, just go. I doubt if they will come out with you alive (She leaves)

Prince Kelly: She's so scary!

Cynthia: Yeah. Let's go in there. (Points to a place and they go in) Thanatos is not here. Only his Messengers are here. Seems he went somewhere. (A room in front of them, Cynthia goes right in) Come in. Doors aren't really doors here (they all go in)

The room is wide. Surprisingly pleasant to the eyes, compared to what one would imagine the god of death's room to be

Postinur: His room is good. I'm confused

Shouldn't there be some scary thing of some sort

Cynthia: Thanatos isn't bad. He is a god of peaceful death. Compared to his sister of horrible deaths. He just wants revenge. He was born with both evil and good siblings. So he is partly evil and good. Right now, the evil side is dominating. (They see a shadow and Gradeshia is the owner of the shadow)

Gradeshia: Pleasant surprise you guys! Awww, Cynthia came to visit me too. I'm so glad!

Cynthia: Where's Alysia!

Gradeshia: Oh, you mean the one I captured to bring to Thanatos, when he returns?

Prince Kelly: Is there any other Alysia?!!

Gradeshia: Hahahahaha. You never know!

Postinur: Hand her over!

Gradeshia: (Brings Alysia into the room by air. Alysia is floating) Here she is!

Postinur: What did you do to her!!

Gradeshia: Nothing. I Just knocked her out so she won't try to escape or light this place up. I can't stand light. Just like how Cynthia is making this place unbearable now!

Cynthia: Just hand her over. And I will stop obstructing your darkness. I will leave.

Gradeshia: Sorry can't do.

Cynthia: I have no time to waste Gradeshia. I said hand her over right now!!

Gradeshia: (scared but adamant) I said, I can't do it, Cynthia. Do your worst!!

Cynthia: (annoyed) Ahh! (Raises Gradeshia up and Alysia falls down, the duo quickly raise her up and prince Kelly carries her on his shoulder, Cynthia opens her mouth and light radiates throughout the whole room) Close your eyes tight boys, The lights might blind your eyes. (The boys obey, and when they open their eyes, Gradeshia turns to ashes)

Prince Kelly: Yes! Thanks a lot, Cynthia

Postinur: Thank you!

Cynthia: Check if the plant is still with Alysia

(Prince Kelly searches her pocket as she wore a gown with pockets)

Prince Kelly: It's here!

Cynthia: Good. Let's get out of here before time elapses.

They made their way out of the dark realm, this time, without drawing attention to themselves and they arrived at the light realm. There they disappeared to Lystra

At Lystra

They appear back to Duren's room and meet Duren fast asleep on the bed.

Cynthia: I have helped you guys now. You can leave before greedy Diana finds out and stops you guys. Take care of Alysia and don't come back for help anymore

Postinur: Thanks a lot for your help goddess

Cynthia: Whatever. Just get out. (They disappear to Oberon)

At Oberon

They appear at the front of the Queen's room. Luckily no one saw them but the spirit detector sounds

Prince Kelly : You know, we could have just appeared in the Clustered forest, the other time

Postinur: I never knew I could vanish with all of us, together! I just learnt that recently

Prince Kelly: Whatever it's all done. (Turns around and looks outside the window in the hall) It's morning! Late morning!

Oh my goodness, we were in the supernatural realm for long!

Let's go in, fast. Open the door Postinur! (Postinur was about to open the door when the door opened itself)

The seer: You are both back. Come in! (They enter and the spirit detector sound stops) What happened to Princess Alysia?

Prince Kelly: We will explain later. I think she just needs rest, she will be fine. (lays her down on a long sofa close to the bed where the queen is and takes the flower from her pocket) Take, the plant

The seer: (takes it and put it in the bottle of some black liquid and shakes. Then begins to mutter some incantation) και ωστιν Δημήτρης Στεφανάκης στην Πάτρα. Sgec Kmmc ojai hkmn

(Goes close to the queen and puts a drop in her lip then pours the remaining liquid on her chest. The queen didn't wake up) something is off. (Mutters the same incantations)

No. It can't be! It can't be possible!

Did you enter the dark supernatural realm?

Postinur: Why, yes we did. When we went to save Alysia

The seer: Oh no!

Postinur: What is it?! (The king enters)

King Klein: Thank goodness you are back on time!

The seer: I'm so sorry, your highness

King Klein: What do you mean by you are sorry! (Sees Alysia) Oh, no! What Happened to Alysia!

The seer: The princess is fine. It's the Queen your highness! The boys went into the dark realm to save Alysia and the flower went in with them

Prince Kelly: The flower was with Alysia

The seer: Whatever way. The flower is contaminated. The evil power around compressed it. It can no longer function!

Postinur: What do we do now? Get another flower? Let's go Kelly

The seer: I'm afraid it's too late. I didn't notice on time. It has touched her. It only quickened her death! (Alysia wakes up but nobody notices)

King Klein: Are you saying my wife is dead!

The seer: I'm sorry your highness

King Klein: (Falls down on top of his wife and cries) Odessy!!

Prince Kelly and Postinur: Oh, No!

Alysia: (Tries to get up) My mom is dead? (Goes to meet the Queen) Mommy! (Tears flow down like water in her eyes) Mommy!! Mommy please get up! Get up for me!

Postinur: (goes to her, reveals himself and holds Alysia in his arms who quickly hugs him and cries her heart out) It's okay, Aly. She has gone to rest

Alysia: I killed my mom. She died because of me.

Just like it was predicted! The prophecy is all happening! (Wails)
