Previously On Caliginous:
After five minutes, I was kind of confused. Why was King Aldrum not slicing me? Why didn't I felt the sword in my neck? Why am I not dead? Wait! Was this what being dead feel like? I slowly opened my eyes and saw that everything was frozen except for me. The king was frozen with a small smirk on his face. The boys were frozen too cause their sad eyes weren't blinking. What the heck was going on? I looked around the room and spotted a woman, a very familiar woman.

I ran up to her and hugged her tightly as the river of tears I was holding flow down my cheeks. She hugged me back, her soft arms around me felt comforting in so many ways.
"Mama." That's all that came out of my VERY dry mouth.After five full minutes of tightly hugging, I pulled away.
"How is this possible? Wait! Am I dead?" I asked her, petrified.
"No," she replied, calmly.
"What's going on... mother?" I said getting confused.Was this all a dream or am I dead and mom would shortly break it to me? What's going on??!
"I'm here to save you," she said casually, "I've been warning you about this day for a long time. I even managed to communicate with you through dreams... well nightmares. I've even found a solution to all of this, well, actually I found a solution a long time ago." She said with a little smile, which made all of this even more confusing."What?" That's all that got out of my mouth.
"Focus on that nightmare you have daily. The minor part of it would be the answer on how to end all this chaos. It may be hard, but you just have to close your eyes and focus."I slam my eyes shut and focused on the dream. What was unusual in it? What could help me? Think, Ella, think! What could be- WAIT! "I GOT IT!!!" I practically screamed my butt off, clapping my hands in joy, "that.. that.. y-you weren't speaking in a different language, you were chanting a spell. Yes! Now I remember!"
"I knew the day I held you, you would grow out to be a smart girl," she winks, "cast the spell and focus on Aldrum. If that spell works, Aldrum would be turned into pure water which would eventually dry up," she said.I took a deep breath and chanted, "Echa Lompus Gray! Sampum Theory Lora!" Closing my eyes shut. When I opened them I saw, not the King, but water, which was splattered all over the floor.
"YASSS!!! I can hardly believe it! I thought I was gonna die but now I'm OK, everything's OK. Mother, I can't thank you enough. Please stay, It would mean so much to Harison and me. Please?!" I pleaded all of that awfully fast.
"I'm really sorry, Ella, but my time here is finished. Keep in mind that I'll always be there for you, whenever you'll be in trouble. Well, that doesn't include your homework." we both laughed. Our laughs were both identical.
"I'm gonna miss you," I said tearing up.
"Me too. Oh, I wanted to tell you that you can be with Jake since Aldrum is dead and he was the one who made that rule," she said.
"Oh my gosh! Really?!"
"Yes, now I have to get going, bye," she said, her smile slowly fades away.I hugged her once again. Only this time, it was tighter.
"Goodbye," I said in merely a whisper.
"Ella."
"Yes, mother?" I asked.
"Princess Sofia Rosa Khandikcha is still alive. She's the new Queen of this kingdom."
"What! I thought the haters of King Aldrum killed her to take revenge," I said.
"No, they didn't. She is a smart girl like you," she winks again, "bye."
"Bye," I reply as I let go of her and saw in depression as she vanished into thin air. I swear I heard a whisper say, "I'll always be with you." I smile.As soon as my mother disappeared, everything got unfrozen. I untied Jake and hugged him, "thank god you are alright, I thought I had lost you," Jake said as a tear escaped his eyes. I wiped the tear with my bare hand and blushed when I realised how much he cares for me.
"What happened? Where's Ald-" He was caught off guard when my lips connected to his.
"I'll explain everything later." I purred after I pulled away.
Oh, almost forgot to untie Harison and Sebastian. I untied them both and hugged them as well.The next day, Jake, Sebastian, and Harison went to the village to break the news to the Kingdom that the King, Queen and the prince are no more. While I, with the help of the spell book, summoned guards and send them to search for Princess Sofia Rosa Khandickcha. After all, she is the true air to the throne.
After a week of staying at my home with Harison, I forced Jake to move to my house cause I can't live without him (cheesy but true). Everything was normal and how I imagined it to be, living happily with Jake and Harison.
The End.
