Chapter 8

Daisy

'Come l wanna show you something ' l say expecting Anail to follow me . l lead her to the historical room

'What is this place ?' Anail asks feeling the wall ,moving her fingers to touch the soothing paintings on it
'lts the historical room ' l say feeling the paintings 'Each of these paintings tells a story '

'Who painted these?' Anail ask
l couldnt answer this one ' l dont know .. ' l say

'They are soo beautiful ' she says softly
'l know ' l murmur . l go to my favourite painting in the room titled : THe light warriors Battle

'This painting is the only painting in the room that tells the history of the light Realm in an organised manner' l
say

'What do you mean ? ' Anail asks clearly puzzled

'lt all started 300 years ago . The gods gave us eight celestial beings we named lighter. The celestial beings were gifted with the power of creation and destruction . Out of all of them , one was different Black Endevour .... He loved distruction soo much that he started destroying anything in this way . A lot of innocent lives were lost because of him . THe rest of the lighter then banned him from the light realm and He went to stay in the Dark realm... ? '

'Then what happened ? ' Anail asks keenly

'He turned to stone and to this day his statue remains in the dark forest ' l say
'So whose in charge in the Dark realm ? ' Anail asks
'Magotta '

'whose Magotta ? ' Anail asks
'that is it for the day lets get going . The Elders are probably looking for us' l say pushing her out of the room

'please ' Anail pleads. how can l refuse
'The girl you saw sitting on the throne is the princess of the light realm . Princess Anabel ,Her cousin Audrey is Magotta ' l say ' now lets get going '

Anail looks at me with those pleading eyes that say ' explain more '

l sigh 'Audrey went in the darkest room in the palace and absorbed all the dark magic there and she fled to the Dark realm to start her own kingdom '

'Woah 'she says 'you are moving too fast '
'l cant explain further We are going to get into trouble ... lets get going '

l pushed her out of the room and closed the door shut and made sure that it looked as if no one came in . l went to to where the Elders were with Anail on my tail. When l get there l knock on the door and hear a
'Come in '

And l push the door open .
All eyes land on me and Anail

'you came at the right time .... l was about to call you ' Silvester . The Elder wearing the silver bracelets says .

'Anail this is prince Eric ' Brodie . The elder wearing the bronze bracelets says . l look at Prince Eric holding out his hand to Anail for a handshake and Anail hesitates at first but later on puts her hand into his .They stare at each other for the longest time while keeping contact .

'Hmmm....mmm ' l clear my throat and they reclaim their hands . l watch a look of dissatisfaction take over Silvester's face

l m in big trouble
