In just two days Lily reached the Pixie land with the help of trolls leader. Before leaving , he ensured the princess to serve her whenever she needs assistance.
At the gates , she was greeted by a fairy who accompanied her to the fairy Queen castle. The fairy queen already knew that Liliana was coming that is why she sent the other fairy to Liliana.
The fairy queen was pleased to have princess Liliana in her land. She had always heard about Lily's kindness. In a humble tone she enquired Lily " I know what you are growing through . What is it you want from me?"
" Greetings, my queen. I come here to seek your help . I want to reach the water kingdom as fast as possible. My kingdom is suffering and I have very small time" Lily said while bowing and giving the most quant smile ever .
"I think you know , that you have to please me. So tell me what can you sacrifice to save your kingdom" queen asked.
After thinking for a while she said "After getting married I will inherit the throne and rule the kingdom. You can have it once I am married and all the riches and wealth. I just want to lead a normal life like others"
After listening , the queen took the princess to a magical pool which is known to have special magic.
"See, I don't want your wealth. I have only few years of my life left and I have no child who may inherit the kingdom. So the responsibility lies with me. If you be willing, you can sacrifice fifty years of your life and beauty to me. Then i will become immortal and can rule and protect my people. You just have to enter this pool . Think about it. Can you do this."queen said.
Without even thinking, the princess jumped into the pool. She knew how to swim but didn't tried to. Instead she held her breathe and closed her eyes , while going down to the bottom of pool.
But a miracle took place. She felt some movement around her. After a few seconds , when she opened her eyes , she could see. She was standing right in front of the queen who was smiling.
" This is the pool of whim. Without even thinking about yourself , you jumped into it. Now, your biggest limit which you thought to be your power is overcome . I am impressed."
The queen casted a magical spell and a portal began growing. She signalled Lily to enter into it. That portal lead Lily directly at the gate of water kingdom.
