Four months later

Achlys and the others were sitting in the cafeteria having lunch.

"Achlys have you picked the flowers" Rose asked her.

"For what?" she asked

"For making the bouquet" Scarlet told her.

"Why?" Achlys tilted her head in confusion.

At this the other girls' eyes widened.

Canny sighed "Now don't tell me that you don't know".

"Know what?!" she questioned still confused.

"For tomorrow's ceremony, tomorrow is our Legendary Late Empress Melody's birthday"

"And on every birthday of hers we go to where there is her statue to wish her and give her flowers" Scarlet explained.

"It was known that she was immortal" Rose chimed in.

"So if she was immortal how did she die" Achlys furrowed brows to show that she knew nothing about what they were talking of.

"Well, we don't know the real thing but there is a story that goes around the whole islands about it, it is in our library also" Canny said in a really bored tone, totally telling others she not care less.

"Which story??" she asked.

"The story that tells what happened to her" Rose waved her hands in the air dramatically.

"We can tell you" said Scarlet to which she nodded.

"So-

It is said that when Melody faught with her aunt to save this land and to free her parents a small piece of her aunt's magic glass got stuck in the shield protecting the Enchanted islands from the monsters that lurk outside.

After five years, on the coronation day of Empress Melody and her husband Walter, God knows how the piece just popped out of the shield and the shield broke.

Melody and the others faught with the monsters but it was of no use as they were immortal and it will take a lot of power to turn an immortal to mortal.

Melody decided to make the shield again before they destroy the whole Enchanted islands but as she was about to make it they captured her and started destroying the islands.

Walter stood on a cliff and promised that he will rescue Melody but she denied him by smiling and shaking her head no.

She just said.

"Don't worry Adore,I'll come back and we will meet again because the fight is not yet over".

With that she released her powers and she was no longer immortal, she fought with the demons until she died.

Her powers restored the shield and the Enchanted islands.

Walter who can't live without her and now that he can die (as who ever will marry her highness Melody turns immortal until her highness Melody herself dies)he stabbed himself with his sword and his last words were:

'When darkness will fall ,

The soul of the light will revive again,

To restore this broken land.' "

"It is said that one day her majisty Melody and her husband Walter's soul will revive when the evil will start to take over again" Scarlet finished.
