Into the Other World

39.

"Why did I take this route,"she said regrettably.

Walking through the hot desert of Scrumact,Irin regretted her decision of leaving Terrasen she cursed her elder sister and was angry at the world,she also bad mouthed Harley for bringing her into that misery.
"Harley if it wasn't for you right now I would be comfortably sitting by the banks of the Enchanted Run,"she shouted.

The troops in Terrasen were trained by Jasper and they grew in strength. Rafe was busy planning out the battle formations as for the girls they were out collecting more and more soldiers.
They had two days to prepare for the ultimate battle between Ivy and her parent's murderer.

"This will do,"said Crystal observing and examining everything that was being done.

"Amara, Eta,Ivy and Lucy returns,"someone announced.

The others went to talk with the queen and Ivy went directly to the training grounds.

"Still weak!"she shouted.
The entire army frightened by her presence toughened themselves up and worked even harder.

"You came to see me?"Jasper joked.
"Why would I come to see you?"said Ivy observing the troops.
"Because you miss me already,"said Jasper wrapping his arms round her waist.
"Maybe just a little,"said Ivy pusing him away.
Jasper held his chest and acted as though she had shot him in the heart.
"Come on stop messing around,"said Ivy as she continued observing the army.

Rafe sitting on the roof was looking down at Jasper and Ivy with a broken heart.

"Prince...I mean Rafe,"said Lucy trembling.
"You really can't stop calling me prince,"said Rafe.
"I'm trying my level best and...I'm sorry I..."
Rafe laughed at Lucy's behaviour towards him,"Join me."
Lucy hesitated,"I have some work to do I..."
"You're a terrible liar,"said Rafe,"Come on sit down I'm not gonna eat you."
Lucy at the end obeyed him and sat with him. She in seeing him staring at Ivy covered his eyes,"If you don't see you won't feel."
Rafe removed her hand and looked into her deep blue eyes. Lucy blushed and turned away.

"You need a love partner too,"said Crystal.
"I don't,"said Amara,"Everyone I've ever loved have betrayed me and now my heart is stone."
She bowed in respect and went to the study room.

The scorching heat,the hot winds blowing, mirages appearing every minute made her crazy. Wondering aimlessly in the desert she finally lost her will to walk and with no more strength left in her she fainted.
