Paradise of Doom

AT WITCH WORLD PALACE

NEXT MORNING.

SHAWNA'S POV:

I woke up by the noise around me. I squeezed my eyes a little pulling off the sheet to my head. It was morning. I turned around to sleep for a little more time, but then I realized, this is WitchWorld!! I am married!!! Yesterday Praim left me all alone!!

I jolt up in my bed with widened eyes. I look around when I saw the maids were doing their daily work. One of them noticed I woke up as she walked towards me and she asked-" have you slept well, queen Shawna?"

My hairs were all messy, as I slept so deeply last night from the pain. I fixed my hair a little as I awkwardly smiled at her while nodding my head. I stood beside me while handing over a juice and said-" Here, King Praim asked me to give this to you when you woke up"

I blankly looked at her while taking the glass from her hand. Praim said that? Why? He said he married me for revenge... Then why? I have to know what is was talking about last night. I gulped down the juice while thinking about all these. She smiled and said-" I am Sana, if you need anything you can call me" I nodded smiling at her a little.

After sometime. I freshen up and thought to visit Queen kelnier to ask a few questions. I have to visit grandma today too. I have got information that the commander Zenith had fleed with our country secret scroll. We need to see this as soon as possible. The scroll had many secrets about WitchDom, WitchWorld, and WhiteSclae kingdoms.

I came to queen Kelnier's room as I knocked on the door before entering. She replied from inside-" Yes, come in."

I entered with a smile on my face as I greeted her-" Good morning queen kelnier"

She looked back and gave a warm smile as she walk towards me and replied-" Call me mother from now okay?"

I nodded as she asked-" Did you sleep well last night?"

My smile faded when I remember the horrifying moments about last night with Priam. I looked at her with a blank face. But I didn't want to complain to her about anything. I must find out what is the reason behind his change. I forced a smile as I just nodded. She looked at me and asked-" Did Praim misbehave with you last night, Shawna?"

I looked at her in shock as I nodded my head several times in a no. I tried to change the topic as I said-" Mother, I need to visit WitchDom today, a case regarding commander Zenith has been filed, that he fleed with our county's information and will be sleeping it so someone. The scroll had secrets about the three lands of Witchland."

She knitted her brows as she asked-" Commander Zenith? was not he one of the trusted members?"

I nodded at her with a serious expression. Indeed he was one of the trusted members of WitchDom. This is why we have trusted him with the 'Krymmena mystika'. One of the secret libraries of the kingdom. After the Queen and king, only Commander Zenith was allowed to access the library. But he betrayed.

I said-" this is why I need to go there and investigate the matter. We don't know what else he took their from"

She nodded and said-" You must leave then. have a safe journey"

WILLIAM'S POV:

I was in my room when a guard came to me while panting. I looked at him as I frowned and asked-" What happened? What are u panting? Is everything all right?"

He nodded his head in a no as I asked in confusion-" Tell me..."

He said while catching his breath-" Duchess Tiara is here!!"

I sighed looking at him and said while smiling-" So...? Is that a problem?"

He looked down and replied-" Sh-she is crying!!!"

My eyes widened in shock to hear she is crying. I asked immediately while holding his shoulder-" Why? What happened to her?"

I couldn't wait for his answer as I rushed towards her way. I saw she was standing in the corridor as she was a drying mess. My heart broke looking at her like this. I ran to her without wasting any more time. As soon as she saw me she hugged me as she started to cry more. I kept caressing her head and said-" Shhh... I am here.. tell me what happened? Who made you cry?"

She looked up at me with her red puffy eyes as she said while sniffing-" Jen-Jennifer is missing!!!"

I was shocked to hear this. I knitted my brows as I asked-" Are you sure? Did you search her in her home?"

She said-" yes we did. Uncle Stagrid came by to ask for her. I told him she left the wedding a long ago. William....? I am sacred... What if something bad has happened to her?. I know I don't like her much but I don't want anything bad to happen to her too"

I looked at him while nodding. Suddenly we flinched by a voice who said-" Jennifer is MISSING????

We looked at him and it was Praim. Tiara bowed before him as he looked at her with a stern eye and walked towards us. He asked-" Since when?"

Tiara replied-" Since the wedding"

Praim sighed in anger as he said in a low growl-" call Shawna now!!!"

END OF WILLIAM'S POV:

AT A UNKNOWN FOREST.

JENNIFER'S POV:

I came to a new place from the portal last night. I was shocked a scared to find myself in a new place. It was a dark forest. The lights were not reaching the ground due to the long and thick trees around.

I tried to go back home, but couldn't find a way back. I started walking here and there while panicking when I heard some noise. It was the same noise I got while entering the portal. the sound of horses. that means someone is nearby. I started running that way hoping could find any human there. But as I started running, the sound began to fade and I lost them!!! It was too dark for me to find anything there.

I shouted in frustration-" AHHHHH!!!!! where the hell am I? What is this creepy place?"

I was tired. I was crying in fear. Is this is what karma means? I know what I have done is wrong but... I didn't think to get punished like this. How am I supposed to go back home? Will I ever be able to go back home?

I sat down beside a tree-hugging my knees and crying. I don't know when I drift into a deep sleep.

The next morning I found myself sleeping on the ground beside the tree. I woke up from the sound of birds chirping around me. I yawned and look blankly at my surrounding. Oh my freaking God!!! I am lost in some unknown land, I remember.

I immediately stood up fixing my dress. And started to walk again. I didn't know where am I going, I was just walking. Hoping to find someone how can help me. I was tired. I was walking for almost an hour now. But I found nothing. I lost my shoes yesterday night. I was walking barefoot. My clothes were ragged and torn. I sighed as I stood holding a tree with one hand.

Where is this place? How can I go back home?. Suddenly I heard the noises of horses again. I widened my eyes as I realized they were nearby now. I have to take this opportunity anyhow. I started running again following the direction of the sound. There were a lot of footsteps. I guess a group of people are here. Thank god. Now I can go back home. I but my lower lips while smiling a little in satisfaction. I started following them with all my energy left in me now.

But after reaching some distance I lost them once again!!! I stopped while panting heavily. My body was giving up. I sat on the ground as I mentally started cursing Shawna. "this is all because of her. Or maybe... because of me... Ahhh this is so frustrating!!! This damn place is freaking insane!!!!"

I finched by a voice who said in a warm tone-" This place is called Paradise of Doom!!!"

I looked back as I saw a man on a horse looking at me with his piercing eyes. At least I found someone!!! I smiled in satisfaction as a drop of tears escaped from my eyes in happiness. I ran a little towards him and said-" Oh thank god!!! I was looking for..."

He cut me off by saying-" me?"

I looked at him with doe eyes and I replied-" Sort of... But that is not the case... You see, I am not from this.. whatever this place is called... I came here from a portal. I was lost in here... I tried to find someone... But... I need to go back. Can you please help me?"

He looked at me with suspicious eyes as he said-" Portal? tell me about it!!!"

I replied-" well. I was at the border of WitchWorld when I saw this portal in the middle of the forest of 'Mollis Lux'... I heard some noise, and I jumped in here. And then I found myself in this dark forest... I-I tried to search for someone... But... I failed... and now I found you... Pl-Please help me to go home"

He got down from his horse as he asked me in confusion-" You- You are a witch?"

I nodded as I replied-" Yes... I am..." I looked at him with my squinted eyes. I take a good look at him and gasped as I said-" You are an Elf!!!"

How can that be? Elves have perished a long ago!!! this must be a dream... I look around myself and finally understood. I am standing in the forest of Darkness in Elfland's. I have heard this from my father. The Elves and Witches once worked together... Elves were powerful and had allied with Witches. But slowly their lineage started declining and one day the last king was attacked suddenly and they have perished. Extinct.

I was looking at him in stunning to see the extincted mythical creature in front of me. Now I noticed he was handsome. Without my knowledge, I kept staring at him.

He smirked as he walked towards me and said-" Stunned to see an Elf?... As much as I am stunned to see a witch in Paradise of Doom?. "

I nodded unknowingly as he chuckled at my behavior. I came back to my sense as I blinked a few times and looked away clearing my throat. I said nervously-" I-I need to go back can you help?"

I don't know why his gaze was somehow making me nervous. This was not me. I cannot just flirt with him in the middle of Elfland!!! I can be in danger. He started walking towards me slowly as I started going back according to his steps. What is he up to? Will he kill me? I grabbed my wand secretly behind me ready for defense.

His look was weird. What is he thinking? I must return to WitchLand soon. I looked at his behind. His horse was standing. It can be of my use. I pulled out my wand and said-"Vinculum". His hands got bondage with the twiners. He frowned at the sudden attack and he tried hard to escape. I didn't waste much time as I hopped on the horse and run away. I looked one more time before I left as I said-" I wished I could see you again... But its better if we never met again. Goodbye and thank you"

I ride through the forest with the help of the horse. I didn't know where to go, but at least I have a horse that can help me get out of this forest. I looked at the riding horse and said-" Come, one buddy, take me out from here... Where I can find help"

He rode faster as I sat holding him firmly. He was fast as he finally took me out of the forest. I was beyond happy to see the roads and people. He rode through them. I don't know where is he taking me to. I decided to follow him quietly as in our lands animals were treated as the guide towards good.

The people were looking at me oddly as I passed through them. I was amazed to see a country full of Elves. The creature we thought extinct was still living!!! In another dimension!!!. This was a big achievement. When I will go back I can say about this place. I am sure Shawna would be jealous to see this. I smirked in satisfaction as the horse took me passing through the alleys.

After some time he stopped before a huge gate. I looked up and saw it was a palace. Why did he take me here? I looked around and was amazed to see the beautiful magical palace and scenery.

I kept staring at the floating palace before the waterfall. How is this possible? They have created indeed a paradise here. I sighed as I look at the horse and asked-" Why did you bring me here buddy? I said somewhere where I can find help!!!"

He kept staring at me and sniffed while pushing me towards the gate. Is he asking me to get inside? I am, sure this is the king's place. And he took me here to seek help from him. That must be it. I smiled and kissed him before entering the gate. I walked towards the long tower looking around in amazement. I stopped before the castle as the bunch of knights asked me-" Excuse me, miss? Where are you going?"

I looked at them and said-" I-i need to meet the king!!! I have come from far..."

The knights laughed at me looking at each other as one of them said-" yes, we all came from far. Do you have an appointment with the commander in chief Mangul before coming here?"

I don't know who is he, but I know he will be the only one who can lead me to the king. I didn't think twice as I said-" yes. Please can You call him?"

They looked at each other as one of them said-" Okay you wait here.". He asked one of his men to call Mangul. I waited impatiently as I tried to hide from their gaze. They were looking at me suspiciously as I have ragged clothes and messy hair. My feet were swollen and bleeding a little. I look probably tired.

Soon a young handsome man came towards us as he stopped before me. He looked at me from head to toe and gave a wired smirk before telling-" Yes, she has an appointment with the king!!! Let her in" He looked at me and said-" Come, Follow me, He is waiting for you"

I got a little shock at his words. Why did he pretend to know me? I was thinking about how can I manage him to take me to the king but this was all so easy. The king is waiting for me? How did he know?. there were lots of questions in my head as I still choose to follow him.

He guided me towards the king's court as I followed him quietly. Soon We reached there as he stopped and looked back with a smile and said-" Wait here, King Jordan will be here shortly"

I nodded as he left. I was standing in the middle of the court looking around. This kingdom was beautiful. Unknowingly my lips curved into a sweet smile. Suddenly my mind flashed the face of the man hos horse I have stolen to reach here. Who was he? He was handsome. I didn't know Elves were this handsome. I wish they could be with us so I can take him to WitchDom and show him off before Shawna.

I was lost in these thoughts when a deep voice interrupted me.

" Welcome to Paradise of Doom Miss beautiful Witch"- The voice said.

I turned back to look at him and my eyes widen to see the same person I met in the forest standing before me. What does this mean... He-He... is the king of Elfland? My mouth opened in utter shock. I mentally slapped myself before saying those when I left him.

He saw how shocked I was as he chuckled a bit before saying-" fancy seeing you here miss Witch. We met again"

I couldn't speak anything as I just kept staring at him.
