The Princess of Elfin

Chapter 36

We charged at each other full speed. I swing my sword with full blast of powers. I know exactly why I have my power back, because the ending of this battle is coming to an end. I must accept my fate Delilah has given me. He threw his dark fire at me and I would return it with one of my elements. I dodged every attack the Beast gave me, as he did the same. I knocked his sword out of his hand which sent it flying away from him. I held it to his neck. We were breathing heavy, staring at each other.
"I asked for you name." I say firmly. He ignored me. Instead he flirts his jeans which sent the earth fork underneath me into the air. I steady myself ads the rock lifted up. He jumped at me but I jumped into the air, he followed from behind. We were both floating in the air. We were at a good distance from each other, that's when he charged right at me. I moved to the left and he missed. I raised my arm and water wrapped around it. I did a back hand slap which sent the Beast hurling down to the ground. He managed to stop himself from hitting the ground and flew back up to me, throwing dark fire punches at me. One hit me, which sent me back a few. I looked over at the Beast . He looked quite angry, but to me I saw it as pathetic. He's trying hard and he just won't quit. But this needs to end for the people of this world. I raise my hand and pointed it at him. All four elements appeared in my hand make a spiral motion. This the first time I ever used all four elements at once and I know this will be strong enough. He let out a scream and charged at me. I did the same. We both lifted our fist and we connected.

There was a bright white light, which blinded everyone below. After a few seconds, everyone looked up and saw the Beast falling to the ground unconscious. The white and gold force field was lowered and everyone watched in awe. There was still a light in the sky and when people looked up it was Renee. She looked completely different. She was horizontal in the sky with a white light glowing around her. She was wearing a white and gold dress, that had long lace sleeves. The front of the dress had a diamond shape cut on the chest part. The dress had a long train in the back, but the front was above her knees and she was barefoot. Her hair is flowing around her and she had Elfs ears. She began falling, hurling down to the ground. Everyone gasped, seeing her fall so fast but before she could hit the ground a flower bloomed and caught her, lowering her to the ground.
"Oh my! Sweetheart!" Her mother yelled and her family and friends ran over to her.

I woke up seeing my family and friends around me. I sat up and saw I was still at the garden, where I was fighting the Beast.
"Did I do it?" I ask quietly. My answer is my family and friends cheering and bringing me into a huge hug. I did it. I look around and see the sun is rising, I smile to my smile looking at the sunrise.
"I thought I lost you, kiddo." Im grabbed into a hug by my dad. I hug him as he kissed my head over and over again. I see my parents and grab them into a hug as well.
"Thank you for everything you guys have ever done for me. I love you." I fight the urge to cry. My parents release me and repeat "I love you too" back to me. I back away from everyone and their faces change.
"Princess, you should tell them." LeTar says. I hear the sadness in his voice. Everyone's eyes widen and look at me. I notice all the creatures who have been watching the fight have made a circle around me. Great now I'm even more nervous. I clear my throat.
"I am the seed of Elfin." It gets extremely quite. "When I went to the fortress, the Goddess Delilah said this was my fate the whole time. This was my responsibility from the beginning. I am the new tree of Elfin and I will trap the Beast away, so he can't hurt anyone more. My determination and power will keep the Beast away for centuries." Everyone has a sad expression on their face, like they're going to cry. I low my head.
"No! They will not take my child." My mother runs to me and grabs me in a tight hug and begins crying. I hold back my tears. I have to be strong, this was my destiny after all. "You can't be the seed. You're my sweet daughter. My only daughter and child." I grab her face and kiss her on her forehead.
"I will always be your daughter." My father walks up and he has tears in his eyes as well.
"We can't lose you again. You're all we have." I rub a tear that escaped from his eyes away.
"Come here Lucas." I say and wh walks from the crowd crying. He reaches me and grabs me and begins sobbing.
"You're promised not to leave me." My heart aches as he says that. I kneel down to him.
"I guess you're right. I'm very sorry. But you won't be alone." I grab his hand and place it into my mother's and father's.
"This young boy is Lucas. I found him and promised to be his sister. He has no family, so I became his family. Will you take care of him for me please?" My mother's eyes water more as she and Lucas lock eyes. Jackpot. My mother and father nod their heads and bring Lucas into a hug.
"Prince Lucas Romane of Elfin." My father says loudly and everyone bows at Lucas. I even do. I wipe his tears and kiss him on his head.
"You'll be a great prince and I'll always be here." I tapped his chest, where his heart is. He gives me a small smile and hugs me. I rub his curly hair.
"But you can't leave." My head turns to Autumn. Her cheeks are wet from crying and she looks extremely hurt. My parents and Lucas back into the crowd while Autumn steps up.
"I'm sorry-" I begin off by she stops me.
"Don't say sorry for saving everyone." She's crying even more. "This was the only way?" She asked and I nod my head.
"Then I'm glad to have been your friend Renee." She grabs me and hugs me. The hug is tight but I don't even mind.
"Were best friends." I whisper and she cried even harder. "Forever." We look at each other, her hair is still in that braid I have her. I smile and she returns it. Brianna and Lucas walk up to me.
"Thank you for everything." I grab them in a hug and I can tell Lincoln is crying. Brianna tried holding them back but eventually cried as well.
"Thank you princess." Lincoln places a kiss on my head. When they back away, three faces are glued on me. William, Aiden, and Marcus. They all walk up to me.
"So you lied about the seed being in that pouch?" Aiden asks. He's not even looking at me. I raise my hand to his face turn it to me.
"I did it because someone sacrificed a lot so I could be here right now." I was talking about his dad. "And I know how you would feel."
"If I would've known-" he starts off.
"You would've tried to stop my destiny." He lowers his head. I bring him into a hug, he wraps his arms around me.
"And I would've spent more time with you." He whispered into my ear. I break away and smile at him. He cups my face and kisses my forehead. I hear sparks as he does that. If this wasn't a sad moment, I would be hearing my dad's mouth right now. He releases me and I walk over to the next boy. William.
He's looking right at me, his expression looks broken.
"Can you smile for me? I love your dimples." I say but he shakes his head.
"I like you a lot, you know that right?" He grabs my hands and I smile at him.
I nod. "Of course I know. You always tell me." He pulls me into a hug. "You're beautiful too, you know that right?" I laugh slightly and nod again.
"You know I-" I cut him off.
"You know I think you're a great guy right? And you know you're strong and brave right?" I mock him slightly. A smile sneaks up on his face. His dimples show and my heart flutters. He tucks a piece of hair behind my ear and kisses me on my cheek. Once again I feel sparks.
"Goodbye princess."
And now the finally boy. Marcus. It's quiet between us. I don't know what to say.
"Renee, I'm gonna miss you." He grabs me into a hug. I wrap my arms around him.
"It's gonna be different back home without you, you know." I hear him say. I nod.
"Thank you for everything Marcus." We break from the hug and holds my hand. His fingers rub against the bracelet he bought me.
"You still got it?" He smiles.
"Of course. It even helped me out one time." I winked at him, which makes him smile again. The LeTar steps forward. The boys nod and back into the crowd.
"I'm proud of you princess." LeTar says firmly. I roll my eyes and hug him.
"You can't pull that tough act with me, you know." I hear him chuckle and he hugs me back. Suddenly I began glowing again. I move back and my hands are disappearing.
"I guess it's time to go." The circle parts and I walk towards the tree. The creature Ms around me now. "Oh wait a second. I should do something about this first." And with a snap of my fingers, flowers of the garden come back alive and have color. I wave my hand I over the Beast and he starts to disappear.
"Dad?" I turn to face the crowd.
"Yeah kiddo?"
"Remember that promise you made me?" He smiles and nod his head.
"I will kiddo." A bright smile appears on my face and I turn on heel and continue walking towards the tree. I place my hand on it and I feel myself, going into it. I look over my shoulder.
"I'll always be right here. I'll trap the Beast away so everyone will live in peace and harmony." A bright shines and I know I'll be gone in a few seconds. "You guys better water me every now and then too." I smile, the disappear becoming the new tree.

5 years later..

And with that, Princess Zakiah disappeared, along with the Beast. The tree grew even bigger, it was beautiful. The leafs were a purple shade and the entire world had changed based on the new tree. Everything that the darkness harmed, changed back to being alive and healthy. Princess Zakiah was honored and was talked about for years and years after. Elfin even created a holiday and promised to celebrated her favorite holiday, Christmas. She sacrificed everything for her people. She even changed people in the process and always kept her promises. She was the love interest of three young boys, who adored her and even though she didn't decide who she loved. Some believed she loved all three equally. Her human Marcus, returned to the human world, but he said he'll never forget her or this place. William returned to his kingdom, Dawn. He wasn't okay at first, because he loved her but he knew she would want him to continue to be a great prince. And Aiden was pushed up to a guard, right underneath Brianna. But besides relationships, she made great friendships. She made a great friendship with Autumn- who still checks up on the tree everyday. Her adopted brother Lucas, works hard to fill in her footsteps and promises not to let his big sister down. And her parents, the king and queen work along side him. Their kingdom grew as later they found out the princess invited elfs refugees into the kingdom. The story of Renee Walker- Princess Zakiah Romane will be told for years and years to come. Her story can teach many about promises and working hard.

"Merry Christmas- are you reading her story again?" I turned my head to see my husband.
I laugh. "Yes you caught me." I closed the book and stood up from the chair.
"I miss her too, but we must celebrate today. Everyone is waiting. I nod my head and grab my Lynk's hand and head out of the library. We walk outside, to the back of the castle where the party is being held. There are werewolves and even trolls, I smile at the sight of this. She ire did change a lot of things, didn't she. Everyone is dancing and having a great time enough though it snowing a little. I walk to the tree and place my hand on it.
"Are you enjoying the party my daughter?" I run my hand along the bark.
"Mom?" I turn and face my seventeen year old son, Lucas.
"Yes sweetheart?" I walk up to him.
"I miss her too." He lowers his head which makes his curly hair fall over his eyes. I push it away and kiss his forehead.
"She's right here. Always and forever will be." I grab his hands. "Now lets go enjoy the celebration." We walk away from my daughter and head back into the crowd of people. The party continues and for the rest of the night.

Thank you my precious daughter. For this and for everything.
