Regret (the prophecy begins)

Into the deep marshy ground, Neil lied badly beaten up huffing a sigh, he growled "I always end up miserable, when ever I act upon your advice Alfiyya. Why do you always look for trouble ? One day you are surely going to get me killed."

With the loud thud she fell behind him and screamed, "Why this Alga is still serious about our pranks even after 200 years? He was such a sweet nerdy alligator."

Neil scoffed at her and said, "Let's retreat, this will calm his anger down after all we bullied him a lot."

Alfiyya nodded and replied, "Maybe this is the right thing, once he calms we will apologize to him and promise him to never make his fun."

Suddenly, Alga the shape shifter, half human and half alligator appeared in front of them making them startled and growled loudly in his deep voice, "Looks like little baby elf and stupid little witch can no more compete with me and now it's time for revenge."

Alfiyya stood stumbling, staring deep into his eyes when his gaze softened and he said in his calm yet helpless voice, "I know what you are here for, she saved all of us countless times in countless battles, yet we cannot do anything to reverse the curse of downfall it's too strong, only your end will end this curse."

Neil interrupted and said "Alfiyya cannot die because she is the last creature of her clan" when Alfiyya spoke, "We cannot even leave the protector of seven sacred stones cursed, it will make things terrible."

Alga after listening them calmly said, "Maybe this is the fate, Maybe the beginning of some ending, we should go to Sorceress of Golden Orb."

Alfiyya was determined to find the solution, she stepped beside them and lowly whispered, "I can't regret this, I need to fight the fate then, I will stand by her side in every storm then."
