"It has been 14 years, lost my charisma along with my beloved mother", Jasmine is thinking in her mind and opens the window of her room. With a beam on her lips, feels the early morning fresh air, which is touching her face smoothly. "Waaaa!!! It's a breathtaking moment. Right, Cham?", mutters with her pet Chameleon, which jumps from the table beside her and crawls on her hand and settles on her right shoulder. She glances at the palace lawn from the window. Her two friends wave at her along with their pets, behind the shrubs. "I will divert the guards and come, wait for me at the lake", She passes the signal to them.
Jasmine and Cham check over the corridors of their palace. "Ahhh!! Guards? Rat in my room", purposefully shouts and diverts the guards outside of her room and slowly moves out without any noise cause she doesn't want to get noticed by the guards. While changing their way to another hallway by dancing with happiness, "Your highness! Had your breakfast?" Jasmine startles suddenly and becomes statue to the palace chief maid's booming voice from her back. She slowly turns back, "Yes! I had". An idea has flashed in her brain. "The snack you made is just awesome. I'm grateful to have you to look after me like my mother". She praises her to escape. "Oh! My dear Princess, Jasmine. You are making me flutter." Jasmine holds her hand and pleads with pitiful eyes, "Will you please prepare any special dish for my meal? I want to heal my pain through your delicious food." "Of course, my sweetheart. I will start right at this moment." She persuades her and leaves for the palace kitchen.
She takes a deep breath and resumes her journey. She manages to come out almost, but she has to cross the King's court. She observes the side doors of the court are slightly closed but guards are on duty. She hides at steps side and sends Cham to spy into the court. Cham with its ability to change colors covers the eyes of guards and climb the candle roof hanging to spy into the hall through the window. With its round eyes, spots a secret meeting is going on between King Texas, Orchid, Olender, and Tulip at the court. Then, suddenly the king gives a call to his guards. They go inside. She utilizes this opportunity and moves step by step calmly. Her Cham jumps on the flower vase table and again settles on her shoulder. Cham expresses what it has observed. She ignores as it a political issue and finally arrives at the main hall to go out. At that moment she overhears his father's words from her back, "......danger to Aster's life. Let's hurry up there", and rushes out with his followers. "Thank God! Cham. We have hidden at the right time. Otherwise... No, no, no...I can't imagine." She soon reaches the palace garden's lake and rushes in the leaf boat.
"You came, Jas", says her friend Lily and her pet grasshopper hops and meets Cham.
"Great! Let's go now," says another friend Violet and places her pet ladybug on a rock.
Jasmine comes out from the boat and pinches Violet's waist as it is her habit of fun and says, "Let's go, then". With her friends, She starts walking through the dark forest in the quest to find about her mother's sudden collapse. They halt at a place and gaze at the lighting spot.
"As far as we hear, this is the secret way to enter Orchid's defense palace." Says Violet.
"All are assuming your mother has collapsed because of her whole power consumed at a time. But, you are believing that something had happened at Ravish defense palace, cause she came from here before joining the war," says Lily.
"Yes, Lily. I will surely solve the puzzle of my mother's pendant and bring her back." Jasmine takes the oath.
"You mean the secret of the pendant? Woowww! Sounds great," excites violet by joining her hands.
"Violet," Lily controls her. "Jas! We eavesdrop in this morning while our leader Tulip discussing with Olender regarding the wall. They said it's weakening these days."
"What? Weakening? Now I understood my father's words 'Danger to Aster's life'. That means something is happening to my mother."
"We can assume as If the wall disappears then... Our queen will disappear," says Lily.
"No, no, no... I won't let it happen. What to do now?" worries Jasmine. Cham holds her neck and keeps its head on her cheek and caress to comforts her from grief.
"Jas! Don't rebuke me, just listen. Anyway, you often visit our Queen at Godmother's palace. We all knew she is a good witch besides. Then, why can't you seek her help?" Violet advises.
"Godmother? Will she really helps me?" Jas thinks.
In the evening, she goes to Godmother's palace. Once she reaches there, her wings get off. It's a very old building like a haunted place. Suddenly she hears a sound, "Meoww..." "Hey Kitty", she caresses it. Cham feels jealous and sounds at her ear. Jasmine gins and arrives at the main door. At the entrance, her mother's pet Sparrow comes to see her. Jasmine holds it with her hand and feeds some seeds to it.
"Jasmine! The princess of the Ravish kingdom. Haha! Please, Come in." Veronica invites her inside.
"No, no, no... No need to utter my position Godmother. Jasmine is enough." She enters.
"You're a great example to others, who go behind status. Always down to the earth", Praises Veronica.
"Don't flutter me more, Godmother."
"You always learn new things and find something special in the most ordinary things to others." Veronica admires.
"What? I didn't..get you.., Godmother", smirk at her.
"Someone is having heard time, so you decide to get their back. Yes! You are right. You mother Aster." Godmother claims with a smile and takes her to Aster's room.
Aster is floating in the air. She is in the safe hands of Veronica's magic. Jasmine looks at her mother and admits her decision on what Godmother has claimed.
"I couldn't stay without admiring your courage. I have been waiting for this day. Do you want to know the secret?", questions her.
"Yes! Godmother. Please tell me, I want to listen."
"Then listen, child........" Veronica tells everything that has happened before Aster gone to Earth.
"Then, what happened when she returns?" asks with curiosity.
"After Aster went to the Earth through one of the secret doors near the defense palace, I replaced the book back at its place. A few days after, she returned with fulness. I felt happy to see her back and went to the palace to study her situation. When I entered the court, a soldier came with the message from the King to join him in the war. She joined, won the war, and collapsed and the end by losing her power. Everyone knew only this but only I knew what's behind it. When she received the call from the king, she worried for a second and moved to her room to get ready for the war. I felt fishy on her strange behavior and spy on her. She used her magic and wore a fake pendant. That revealed the real pendant went missing? Or Missed on the earth? Or Did she gave to her friend Salvia on the earth?"
