13 Youre in the Wrong Territory (1/2)

”Mother” she said in disbelief.

”If it wasn't you, who else in the magical realm has such powers? None, except.... ” she smiles evilly as she looks at Isadora.

”Except your child. The hybrid child no one knows it's whereabouts. Its your lost child that caused the power surge” Astrid raises her head and there was a stern look on her face.

”You don't have to answer me. Let's leave”.

With that she swam away with the others behind her.

Outside of the dungeon, the queen erected the magical barrier again. Later she looks at the prison and smiled evilly.

”Your majesty” the Royal Advisor Zephyr started to say but was cut short by the princess.

”Mother, why did you take her side just now and told me to shut up?”

”You were going to expose my plan stupid girl”.

”But mother, did you find your answer?”.

”Yes, it is her child. The Hybrid child... Come on let us leave. My sources should arrive any moment from now. Let's head to the palace”.

They all swam together towards the palace.

Astrid slowly opens her eyes and gradually takes in her surroundings.

As she looks closely, she sees the outline of a man. But she couldn't quite make up his appearance. Everything was fuzzy and her head ached.

She tries getting up but the headache became serious. She close her eyes as she grits her teeth in pain and hissed.

”No, you shouldn't get up yet, go back to sleep” that was the voice of the man she head as he assisted her to lie back down. The next thing she knew, she was fast asleep again. She tried opening her eyes but something seemed to be forcing her to sleep, she stopped fighting it and let the sleep take over.

In the human kingdom, the general goes to meet the King.

”Your majesty” he half knelt and bowed to the king.

”Yes, what news have you brought?”

”We killed the sorceress but the girl escaped”.

”What kind of insolent incompetent soldiers do I have?”

”Sire... ”

”Quiet, your king speaks” Gerald the Grand Advisor said in interjecting his speech.

”I sent thousands of troops but yet you keep failing. The sorceress is dead you say, but she is not the prized one. Give me the hybrid princess or I'll have your head”.

”Yes your majesty”.

”Where is she now?”
