The Lost Possessions

AT FELIX'S DEN:

Aya was sitting on her big thorn throne, along with her pet vulture. The den was dark and gloomy where hardly any lights can reach. Felix was stinging right beside her in his own throne, lost in some thoughts.

The guards stood in front of them bowing down as they said-" My lord... the little girl is dead...What shall we do next?"

The guards who were working for him didn't seem to be a human or Elf or Wizards... they were monsters... Their body was like a human but their legs were disappeared in long shadow smoke that formed under. Each of them was armed with various armours. Their voice was sounded like a bull's given voice.

Ayas took a glance of Sherra's lifeless body lying under them as she smirked and ordered-" She was never meant to live anyways... the hell notes had her souls, bounded from a long time. It was her parents who saved her by giving up their own souls... Tsk... Tsk... Tsk... hmmm... Leave her body to the hungry soul's den."

They nodded as they dragged her little body before throwing it to the soul's den.

It is the place from where Aya gains her powers... By sacrificing souls to the hell king... Lucifer. With every sacrifice, she will gain 10 years of life.

Felix was still lost in his thoughts as Aya frowned a little and asked-" What is wrong with you?"

Felix blinked a few times before he answered back-" Nothing!!". Aya smirked and asked-" You seemed lost my son"

Felix looked down with a frown in his head and mumbled-" How can it is possible that I can no more hear her thoughts?!!!"

Before Aya could reply, the door opened revealing Cindy. She bowed down as she came forth while swinging her hips from left to right. She stood right in the centre as she held her chin up and wish-" Good to see you again your highness!!!"

Aya smiled as she welcomed her while saying-" Welcome home my dearest... Amira!!!"

Within the blink of an eye, Cindy her herself into her true form... Amira. A wide grin spread across te both of them. But Felix was still unaffected. His eyes rose from the ground as he saw Amira smiling at him. He ignored her and said-" I will be in my room"

Amira slowly watches him leave as she asked-" Your highness... What happened to Felix?"

Aya looked at the closed door from where just now Felix had left the room and replied-" He is been behaving a little mystifying lately. I will talk to him today."

Amira nodded as she again looked up at Aya and said-" They have set to find the Stone of Arch master..."

Aya laughed an evil laugh as she said-" I will make sure she can never use it... The more powerless she is.. the happier I am..." They both smiled a devilish smile as Aya asked again turning back to serious-" Did you do what I asked you for?"

Amira nodded as she replied-" Yes master... I have poisoned Priam slowly every day... the seeds of my evil magic is inside of him now. The moment I call it off he will die."

Aya smiled and replied-" Good!!!" Now the time to see what will she wish for to the 'stone of arch' ".

Aya called-" Guards!!!! Announce that I shall be visiting Felix now!!!"

Two guards falls back as one of them opened the door and ran to inform the announcement. Aya looked back for the last time towards Amira and said-" It was good getting you back slave"

Amira nodded in agreement with a small smile as she watches Aya leave.

As soon as Aya left the room, Amira's eyes falls on the throne. She slowly walks upwards to it and caresses its side. She whispered-" hold on... You will be mine very soon"

Aya reached towards Felix's room as she entered. Felix was sitting at his table unbothered towards Aya's presence, lost in his book. Aya frowned as she asked-" What is the thing that is bothering my son?"

Felix didn't reply as he still tried to find something in the book. Aya was now frustrated and asked while raising her voice-" Do you dare to ignore your mother?"

Felix looked up from his book and replied with a cold face-" You are never my real mother..."

The next moment he regret his words as Aya choked him with her hands. Aya's eyes were fuming in anger as she hissed- " I see, you have gained little wings... But do not forget... I own your life... Years before when your parents abundant you, I took you in... I was the one who helped you to take revenge... I am your mother... Do. Not. Ever.Talk.To.Me.Like.That. understand?"

Felix was losing before her evil strength as he nod. Aya left her as they both stood up. Aya said-" They have left the kingdom. Bring me the kids... that was kept in the WitchWorld Kingdom. And also fill up for that dead girl's place. understood?"

Felix nodded. Aya glared at him and left him alone. Felix was somehow not happy to be here anymore. His mind was stuck with the thoughts and anxiety as he is no longer can feel Shawna's thoughts or feelings.

His mind asked: Did the bond break? No... No... It is not possible without the wand... which is no more... I have to protect her... I can not let the bond break. I will do whatever is required to keep up.

The next moment he left his room towards the WitchWorld.

SHAWNA'S POV:

We rode almost 8 hours in the back of our horses, but we are still far from entering WWS. It was almost night. I was kind of tired now. I was hungry too. We didn't stop in the middle anywhere as we were in a hurry to reach there and get the stone.

The "stone of the arch" is the last hope for us now. The evil lingered behind the body of Aya and Felix and is unknown right now. We have no idea how much power they have gained in these years... Or what we will face in the war. But what I was sure of that this time, Aya was more powerful than before. I could feel her evil energy around her. That was stronger than what she had before.

I was the weak one here, without my golden wand I was just a mere human now. I was scared. Scared of losing my home... my people... Priam... granny and... But I have to be strong for the sake of my kingdom, for the sake of my people... for them. This is why I have to find the stone as soon as possible.

The wand will bring back my powers and I know it will help me to defeat them.

" We will stop here for the night. Settle the tents and fires"- Priam growled from his horse. To be honest I needed that. I was too tired to even go any further. So I didn't deny him.

The tent was set and the fire was lit in the middle of the forest. I was to share the tent with Priam. Which was then followed by Junnie and then for Brad, John and King Alan. The rest of the soldiers pulled off around us.

" Eat"- Priam gave me a full meal plate in front of me. I was hungry so I didn't wait for any other second as I dive in. I could feel the smirk on his face from the corner of my eyes. But I care less of it right now. But I was curious at the same time. Why is being so nice nowadays? What's gotten into him? And more importantly where is Cindy now?

" Before you ask any questions I want to say that I am truly sorry for what I did before. I was reckless and angry... You can say misjudged you."

I glared at him with a blank face as I replied-" yes you did". I looked down at my food and had the spoonful of rice as I put it in my mouth. Due to the hormonal charge, my hunger was not in my control as I began to eat like a wild tiger now. He scoots towards me as he said again-" Shawna..."

I was forced to look at him somehow. I can see the guilt in his eyes now. He said with all his sincerity-" Can we start again? This time with a lot more love and new promises?"

Am I ready for this now? Should I give him another chance? No matter what he did with me, I cannot ignore the fact that I am still in love with him. That he is still the father of my child... He is still the love of my life.

I was confused and didn't want to hurry this time. I was not the same girl anymore. I had to see ahead of my emotions now. I need to give my attention to the biggest threat that is coming towards us. I slowly said-" Priam..."

But before I could even finish my words... his lips were on mine. His eyes were closed as his lips were moving perfectly on mine, melting my heart in all the possible ways. This kiss was not of imprinting... or hungry... or lust. This felt like pure love. The only soul that was connected with me was him at this time. I could feel his heartbeat... I could feel his soul through this kiss. It was so magical unlike any of that we had till now. Without any second thought, I kissed him back.

I could feel his tiny smile of satisfaction when I kissed him back. Soon I can feel something salty in our lips as I broke the kiss to see. He was crying. Why? It broke my heart to see him crying like this, to be honest. I wiped his tears as I asked in concern-" Priam... Are you okay..?"

He broke down in my arms as he said with his little sobs-" I am not Shawna... I am not... The more I tried to be strong I fell weak... I am not strong as I show people... I have missed you so much all these years... I really did... I am so sorry Shawna. Please don't hate me... I love you so much"

How can I hate this man when he had occupied my heart all these years. I smiled as I replied-" I love you too Priam... I really do... And I promise... I will make everything all right just as always. I promise you this time"

He looked at me with his red puffy eyes as he said-" Promise me you will never leave me?"

" I promise"- I smiled as he hugged me with his all might. The rest of the night we spend in each other's arms. All those misunderstandings... Anger... and insecurities had flown away by now. The only thing is left is love.

Love was the most difficult to understand... But with the right person... It may take time... but it will always bloom into the most beautiful flower in our hearts.

NEXT MORNING:

We left towards the WWS early this morning. It was two hours almost from when we left as we came to the border of WWS. This land was known to me. My first school. My first learning about this land and magic... This is where I got my friends and met Priam for the first time.

A lot of hidden memories came through flashing my mind.

We kept marching forwards when we finally stood before the entrance of the Dark Forest. It was just the same as it was years ago. The dark gloomy energy keeps flowing from there. Lights find hard to touch the ground as it was covered with big and bushed leave of the trees.

I gulped as I looked at the little dark strays going inside of it. This was the very same place... once I fought with Lady Georgia and almost lost my friends. I was scared to get inside of it once again. My heart was racing fast as I stared at the forest, it was looking like it will gulp me down in one go.

Suddenly I felt firm hands moulded in mine. I looked up and it was Priam. He was smiling with the most genuine smile of his. His eyes were telling me to keep calm and trust him. As he grabbed my small hands in his some of my nerves calms down. I inhale a long one before nodding my head as we entered the Dark Forest Finally.

It was almost half an hour as we were inside the forest. It was pitch black as it was difficult to see anything around it. Priam and Junnie were by my side. Followed by the rest of the people. But we couldn't trace anything towards the location of Sirens. How can the sirens live in this forest? The deep-sea creature was somehow hidden in here.

" My Lord... I think we are lost!!!"- A guard said while being completely lost in the forest. It was true that for the past 1 hour now, we are unable to find any location of the Sirens or the lost city. We all are nearly frustrated now.

"We must search till we find it"- John ordered with his deep voice.

We planned to set out two groups for the time being so it will be easier for us to find the location. I, Priam, Junnie will lead a group and John, Brad and King Alan will lead another one.

After another hour, we finally met on our way as we both came from the way. Tired and exhausted. Confused not to find any trace of the particular location. Finally, Praim said-" Let's take a break for today and we can start from tomorrow again?"

It was almost evening and we all were tired. We all agreed as we set the camp nearby and lighten the fire. As the camps and tents were set, my eyes falls on something that started to feel like an invisible wall. It was almost the same as the forest behind but something was there behind it. I could feel the energy from there.

Confused with the look I walk closer and I held my finger to touch it. To my surprise, my fingers pass through it. I gasped as I realised this is the location we are finding for. I looked back to call out Priam, but before I do, two pairs of hands grabbed me. One by my mouth and another by my waist as I was dragged inside of it.
