The Planet of Darkness

Chapter 13

"Desdemona, I'm worried," I tell her as we run out of the castle. 

"I am too, Your Princess." Desdemona replies back. 

"No, I meant, I'm worried about my powers. I don't have just one power, I have many. Mother couldn't stop me for I am stronger than she is. How could I be stronger than her when my powers have just surfaced?" 

Desdemona answers, "You remember what I told you about when Fallo is dead, time will continue? Since we stopped time, we stopped you from gaining your powers on time. You were supposed to get your powers years ago. But since you didn't have access to your own powers for so long, they have been increasing without you or anyone even noticing. That is how your powers are so strong and that is why they have just surfaced. I apologize, Princess, for not telling you but you need to understand I, we, had reasons." 

"No, I understand why you did it. But how can I control my powers? We need to defeat the witch but I can't even control my powers. They only stop when I began to cry earlier." 

Instead of Desdemona answering, Fames answers instead, "Forgive us, Princess, but we cannot tell you how to control your powers: Only you can." 

"So I must learn to control them while fighting off a powerful witch? Pleasure," I say sarcastically, completely unprincess like. 

"Precisely." Fames answers. 

"How did the witch become evil? Aren't you guys supposed to be good?" 

"Adolf," I hiss at him, "You cannot simply ask someone why their creation isn't good." 

"Well, I'm sorry, Carol. But I want to know." 

"I am not sure how the witch became evil. But, she was finish brewing far too early. I knew something was up, I think maybe there was a mistake during the years while we were making the potion. But, I am afraid that I do not know--" 

Fames interrupts Desdemona, "There were no mistakes. We followed Fallo instructions carefully. Something must have happened while you were on watch. I knew I should have watched it instead of you. You are too young, Desdemona, too carelessly." 

"I didn't do anything to the potion! And no one was there but me. There was a mistake, Fames, and you need to not be so hard on me. I am young, but that doesn't mean I am not wise. Whatever happened, happened. We can only move forward, it is ill to think on the past for too long, Sister." 

"Desdemona and Fames, if you do not mind there is an evil witch roaming around my planet and my creatures. If you would be so kind as to stop attacking each other, that would be pleasant," I tell them. 

"Sorry, Princess," They said together. 

They reach the big, oak doors which leads outside. Without thinking, Kyo faces the palm of her left hand towards the door and mentally pushes the door open. Without effort the doors swing open, revealing the moonlight from outside. 

"Whoa, that's awesome!" Adolf cheers. 

Trying to hide the shock from my face, I smile and say, "Thank you. That's one of my powers and hopefully I can use my other powers just as easily." 

"Let's go," Desdemona says while running outside. 

"Should we fly?" Fames asks. 

"That would be faster but Adolf cannot fly." Desdemona points out. 

"Not to worry," I tell them, "I shall call my dragon and have him carry us around." 

"Good idea," Adolf tells me.
