Once in a Blue Moon

Chapter 20.

I remember everything very well now.
These years I have been living forgetting all what happened, how? Now I have to fix everything, there must be a way to make everything as normal as it used to be.
Sun hasn't risen since years, sky isn't beautiful, most importantly, people aren't what they actually are. All are under destruction, everything has been destroyed by Vinkart.
In the cages, made by Vinkart, lives all. I have to, somehow, finish Vinkart. He took my father away, I'll take him away from this world.
I stand up, I see everything frozen. The blood flowing from my head to cheeks has been frozen. My head still aches but I guess I am fine now.
Do I still have magic? As far as I remember, on the last day, all lost their magic, but now all do have magic. So, can that mean, I can perform magic?
I look palms, my fingers are shivering. It has been years, I haven't performed any magic.
My middle finger of my left hand touches the thumb and with some pressure I slide the middle finger off the thumb. Nothing happens. Maybe, thats not how we perform magic.
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and repeat the action and wish to go back to the castle, wherever, I can find Rossana.
As my eyes are closed but still I see some sparkles, I open my eyes, I find myself in the prison.
The magic worked! But why am I in the prison again?
I look around. All I see are the same guards standing outside the prison. Why am I in here? I move towards the same bed, made of rocks, I see a body covered with blanket. Whose body could it be? I can't see the face because every inch of the body is covered.
Wait...Before, I went out of the prison, my sculpture was made to lay down on the rock bed, so it must my sculpture, yeah maybe. I hold the blacket from the top, my pulse rate increases for no reason, it is just my own sculpture, right?
Still I feel scared.
The blanket is cold, why? I close my eyes and remove the blanket all at once. I open my eyes, to see.
I don't see my sculpture, I see an ice sculpture. I gulp in my saliva and bend down to look closely, as my mind recognises the face, my heart pounds, it is Rossana. She is as cold as ice. Tears slowly roll down my eyes.
But why did they froze her?
She said that he can break his promise, she has to be careful, and she helped me, regain my memory. Does that mean, he knows that I have regained my memory? Oh no!
How will I fix everything now? If he knows that I have regained my memory, that means, I am in danger. Now if I get frozen, there will be no hope of light. I have to do something.
Think Isabelle!
My eyes roll towards Rossana again, I see her completely frozen. I can't handle all this anymore. I have to find someway.
Some heavy footsteps interrupt my thoughts, my eyes move towards the door of the prison. Through the bars, I see the same four men coming towards the prison. Two of the guards open the door of the prison. I step back.
Three of the men enter in, hold my both elbows, lift me a bit and take me out.
Where are they taking me? I turn back, I don't find the frozen body of Rossana. Where has it gone? Oh god! What is happening and why?

"Now where are you people taking me?" I ask.
"To the place, you belong." One of the men reply.
"Where exactly?" I ask.
"Your home. We are going to send you back from where you entered here and then that gate will close forever."
Oh no, what shall I do now?
Wait, wait. I was about to go home after 24 hours. Was I unconscious for an entire day? I should be thankful, at least I woke up! It is usually said in magical science, that a caged brain can be uncaged only when it gets severely injured on brain or near brain, which can 70 percent cause the person's death. Maybe that is the reason why I regained my memory.
The four men continue to walk.
First we get out of the prison area.
Am I really being send back on earth, why? If Vinkart knows I have regained my memory, then why will he do that, because he knows somehow, I will not go back or maybe he knows how to close the gate and is tricking me send out. What if I accidentally reach out! My senses are not working.
Senses! Where are you?
What am I thinking?
I need to see all again, especially David. He saved me, he trusted me, now its my turn, I shall not fail, I will not fail.
I hope.

I see chandeliers, high roofs, tiled floors, and orange lightings. Why are these people not using their magic?
One more thing, I have noticed today is that, the castle is not exactly the same it used to be. The location of the rooms has been changed.

After a while I reach outside the castle. I see nothimg but ice and only ice. It is still The Frozen Grandelle. Outside the castle, the four men stop. As three of the men have been carrying me, the fourth men ahead them claps his middle finger with the thumb of his right hand. White sparkle come infront of my eyes. The splash forces my eyes to close down.

Few seconds later I open my eyes, I find myself again in tje place from where I just went to the castle. The same place, the witness of the sins of Vinkart. The place from where I reached the earth and also the place where I again reached Grandelle.

The men leave me and my feet touch the ground.

I have to run, I'll not run, I'm not a coward to run away. I'll defeat and walk to him.
The only question which always arises in my mind is: Where is Vinkart? He is somewhere in this kingdom, in the castle, but where?

"You have to walk straight from here." One on the men says interrupting my thoughts.
"I'll not go back, I don't want to." I say.
"And why do not want to go?" One of the men says. He has green eyes. Of course he has, all has. But the only strange thing about this man is, his eyes are fenced with rainbow colored powder. Ahh!
"Because...umm... I just don't want to." I say. What did I just say!
"As expected." He says. What does he mean by that? "Gentlemen!" He says indicating something to the other three. I take a deep breath. I am a bit scared.

The four men cover me in circle. The funny eye powder one, stand in front of me, one stands to my right, one to the left and one towards my back. I see their palms moving towards their swords. Oh no.
They all take their swords out at once and point it towards me, I clap my middle finger with my thumb of both the hands very hard and focus on them to stop at their positions.
For some reason my eyes closes, when I open my eyes, I don't find the man infront of me but the other three are standing idle at their positions. The magic worked! Good.
Where is the fourth one? Wait am I losing my focus. My brain is now weaker because of so many wounds on it and spell of Vinkart. I see their swords slowly moving towards me. Is my magic not working ? I look at them, it is like they are not in control. I am not able control! Oh God!
I should run! No! Vinkart knows everything, I should at least have a stronger weapon to defeat.
My eyeballs roll towards the men, I see them getting in move.
As they start to move themselves, with a sudden, I grab the swords of the two men, from its sharper side. I put all my focus to stop the one behind me. With my effort, I try to stop their swords enter in me.
"He knows, he'll not let you live!" The man on my right says.
I know. Vinkart do knows all.

Anyways, I have to snatch the swords. I was a good fighter. I used to fight in battles. I can handle this, right? I have to. My palms start to bleed . Those men are so strong and cruel, they are literally cutting my palm.
I take a deep breath to make myself ready for the action. As my palms start to bleed, with power I snatch the swords from their hands and pass it through their stomach. Blood splashes out on my face. They fall down.
I sympathise them. I have no time to sympathise them, I am losing my focus on man behind me. I grab his sword and pass his sword through his stomach. He falls on the ground. I take a deep breath. I have done it. I have done it, I have killed them, I have.

I truly sympathise them. They were under a cruel spell and I killed them. They were also a part of Grandelle and I killed them.
I didn't meant to, it was the situation which forced. I start to sweat. Even in this cold climate, I sweat. The cold sweat rushes down my cheeks. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.
God, I seek your forgiveness. Forgive me for I have done a sin.

I feel someone tap on my shoulder, my heart pounds, for now I am scared of all the people living in here. I open my eyes and turn back.
