The Caelum Princess

CHAPTER XVI: BETREYAL

(Résh's P.O.V)

Early in the morning the next day, Jake called us in the living room to discuss what he said last night, he said he'll just explain everything when everyone is present, Now everyone, including Princess Merida, Queen Elsa and Hiccup are here.

"Jake, what is this about?" Hiro asked.

"We've got to think of a plan to kill Savina." he said as he crossed his arms.

Everyone's reaction was as I've expected, shocked.

"Eh? Isn't she the only way to find our parents?" Clark frowned.

"Yeah, she's the only one who knows where." said Titus.

"And isn't she your master?" asked Lyra.

"No, just hear me out guys, those things she asked us to get was useless from the beginning. This was all a trap." said Jake as he hastily scratches his head. "Also, she's not. She had gone too far."

"What? Why didn't you tell us about it sooner if there was another way to find their parents?" asked Titus.

"Jake, we're all confused, please explain your statement." Lyra said. She got confused just like the others were.

"Okay, here's how it goes, in able to get those ingredients, many sacrifices has to be made like how we need to kill Elsa and Merida for the frozen heart and blood. She wanted all of you to die," Jake explained.

Merida and Elsa fidgeted, "What!? That's terrible!"

"Yeah, it is. Even so, I'll never let that happen to you," Jack and Hiccup said at the same time. I glanced at both of them with a sharp look.

"Wait, why does she need those things anyway?" asked Hiro.

"To gain eternal power," said Jake.

"I thought she was already a great sorceress?" asked Titus.

"Yes, but her power is limited, it was all thanks to that red pendant of hers, and she's getting weaker and weaker now because the Moon made the pendant and he's not happy with Savina using it." said Jake.

"Wait, the Moon made the pendant?" I asked.

"Yes, he made four of them, actually. Iya has one of them, the blue one." Jake answered.

"Where are the other two?"

"That, I do not know." Jake shook his head.

"That's pretty interesting, though I never thought Savina would go weak. Based on her physical appearance, she looks healthy and strong." said Lyra.

"Don't judge somebody on how the look, like Jack for example. He might look like a playboy, pervert and–"

"Thanks for that, Titus." Jack punched his arm.

"So, where are our parents and the others, then?" I asked.

Jake sighed, "Savina has them, and from the beginning, she had them all along. I apologize for not telling you this sooner because Savina was watching when we met you. Me and Iya couldn't do anything about it. And we don't know where was her hideout, she'll come for us when we got all of what she wants," he said as he look down. "I'm really sorry."

"Its okay, Jake," I said with a sly smile.

"Then we must find her and ask where Aunt Lightning and the others are." said Lyra.

"Asking won't do us any good, sweety." said Jake.

"Yeah, that witch won't give in that easily. Tch..." said Clark.

"We could use Jack's snow globe to find her," said Elsa.

"That's quite a dangerous yet good idea." said Merida, stroking Toothless kitten's head.

"We must stop her before it's too late. She had gone too far!" said Elsa.

"We must get her before she has the chance to get us." said Titus.

I stood up, "Alright, let's go and find that witch–"

"You're not going anywhere..."

Before we know it, we were surrounded by water from nowhere, capturing our bodies high through the air.

"What the– Iya!?"

Our eyes widened to see Iya on her Water Guardian form; standing near the door, controlling the waters to capture us. The waters form into giant bubble-like things around each of us.

"Jake, Princess Résh, I'm sorry..." she said with an emotionless look. Her eyes were in deep shade of blue and more drowning than before.

"Iya, what's the meaning of this!?" yelled Jake.

I glared at her, I didn't notice her from the beginning of the discussion, she didn't actually said something about Savina nor has spoken at all. I knew something was up with her. I shouldn't have let my guard down.

I looked from behind me to see the others, the water isn't drowning us but all of them were unconscious except for me and Jake.

"Let us go!" I yelled.

She looked down then smirked, "I'm afraid I cannot do that."

"Why are you doing this?" asked Jake while looking down.

"Because I want to." she smirked then raised an eyebrow.

"You even captured, Hiro? I thought you said you liked him?" I asked, glaring.

She just remained silent then shook her head, "My feelings for him were real and I meant everything I said." she said.

"So why did you capture him, then?" asked Jake.

"That's none of your concern." she answered with a period.

"What!? So, Hiccup was right about you." I said with gritted teeth.

She just laughed creepily like an insane person, "So what? You all know nothing..." she glared.

She lifted her hand then curled it to a fist to command the waters.

"Iya, you'll pay for this!" I yelled with anger and pain, my tears were falling and mixing with the water. I can't believe she did this to us.

I feel myself drowning and I couldn't breathe. Everything was darkening, I couldn't take it, I had to let go and surrender. I'm losing my consciousness.
