the lands beyond.

Chapter 3: Waraqi!?

The old man's eyes widened. He slowly kneels down." daughter of Hector and Selena, gifted with fighting skills and winter powers, princess of the lands beyond, welcome back Princess Helena.." the old man said bowing down deep.

Lea listened with shock. The sword in her hand was smoking blue flames. Her dress had changed into a a metallic armor which shaped her features of her body beautifully. Her hair was gorgeous and flowing. Her skin looked perfect and flawless. So he was not lying? This magic is true? Lea slowly placed her hand on the table. And suddenly the the table started to freeze. Slowly the table completely froze and Lea yelled and pulled her hand away.

The old man looked impressed. " child, you truly have been gifted with the powers of winters. This gift is rare. Not only that, you can turn into a wolf. People with powers are also gifted with the transformation of wolves. Your skills in fighting shall be in extreme level. But you should learn to control your powers. It can be really dangerous for others. This sword is the key to the lands beyond. You can only enter Waraqi with this sword. This sword was forged by your greatest ancestors. Helena, but now.. Your parents are captured by the dark lord. The same dark lord who threw you to this mortal world. Lea you must return."

Lea listened everything is shock. She looked at her hands. They looked normal. Well half of it was covered in her cool metallic armor. Lea traced the sword with her fingers.

This was the sword her parents.. Her real parents have given her. Lea was special. She was still confused...but she took a deep breath and said, " ok.. I am ready. I shall go to Waraqi. But I have no knowledge about it.." Lea said sadly. "don't worry Helena. Once you go to waraqi.. Just follow your heart. And use your fighting skills and powers. You will get help from someone. But be careful, for there are evil creatures in every corner. Lea listened carefully and said,"ok but.. How can I turn into a wolf?" the man chuckled and said," actually that is the easiest part! All you should do is to close your eyes and think that you want to turn into a wolf!" the man. said smiling.

Lea looked at him for a minute and started laughing." hahhaahahaa your funny! But I am serious how do I turn into a wolf!? " she said wiping her tears away. The man shook his head smiling" child trust me, why don't you do as I said." Lea smirked and said," sure why not! But should I leave my sword aside? " she asked." the man simply shook his head and said, " ah no.. Just hold it and do it" he said challenging her to do it. Lea smirked and cleared her thoughts away. Then she thought, " I wish to be a wolf!" and suddenly blue lights started surrounding her. Lea's vision turned blurry and she started growing shorter. The blinding light surrounded her for a minute. Her vision cleared as the light faded.

Lea looked around, a wierd feeling hanging in her body. She then raised her hand... Wait... She looked at her hand... There was no hand.. It was a paw. A shimmering blue light surrounding it. The old man looked shocked and impressed. He closed his eyes and beside him a shiny mirror slowly appeared. He then opened his eyes and told her to take a look at helf. She struggled for a while. Was she actually a wolf? No way.. He must be tricking her. She slowly walked towards the mirror and she almost fainted in shock.

Instead of acting mature and strong... She started howling and screaming. " yaaaas! Omg look at me! Woowww oooooooowwwwwwwwhhhh! Omg! I think I am the luckiest human in the world! Woow hahhaah!" she said jumping and howling everywhere. The man laughed and patted her head. "You are a a very innocent girl. But in the same time you are very special and brave. Lea we have no time to waste. You should go. It's time for you to go and enter the door. I cannot come with you. You should enter alone.

Lea nodded understanding. She took a deep breath and stepped closer to the door. The old man transferred into the strong soldier Lea previously saw. He closed his eyes and whispered something. And slowly the door opened and Lea slowly looked inside. She saw pure darkness. The old man said, "farewell Lea, and good luck..." and Lea slowly took a step. Just as her feet touched the the ground, BOOM!!...
