The Fallen Queen~[✓]

'Veer. He was the Fallen Queen's courage. Her only acquaintance, her love, her strength, her weakness, her everything. But alas, the world was too cruel. They never had the chance to be together, rule Etis, live happily. I've absorbed his tears, I've seen his pain. I've seen her pain, which she never showed anyone.' Matilda, one of the oldest tree-spirits said. That was Aspen and Mat's mother's name. 'The Fallen Queen is our legend, but do you know who is our savior?'

Maybe I did. The Pentatox and every other major place had the portraits of a man. Veer. He looked different in the portraits although. But if Veer was the savior, why wasn't he talked about?

But then, he wasn't the mystery, he was the history.

'After the Fallen Queen left, Veer was reminded of what she said when she left. He realized that she had indicated him to take over. He was the fiercest warriors of all times, and he had righteously defeated Zachariah and Natha for the time being. It's better if you see it on your own. Come, let me take you to the Beguiling Islands.'

'But isn't that a dangerous place? Zachariah?' I started, how would I defeat a supreme ancient power with just a flicker of fire?

'Karishma, the universe wants you to know everything, I don't know why, but Nature, it's an impressive thing. And I am one of the oldest of my kind, and I'm getting the message. Let's go.' She persuaded. Etis's air felt different again, and this time it had a tinge of chaos and fear in it.

'I'll go with you.' Aspen came in. I had completely forgotten to check back with my friends. Everything was all over the place and it was getting pretty difficult to live with.

'I'm not wasting my energy coming with you guys.' Mat snapped. 'This girl? Why is she here in the first instance? It's our problems, our matters to deal with. Ryan made a big mistake. How did he get so attached to her?'

'Matsimela, everything in Etis happens for a reason. Anyone who stays here is for a reason. Aspen, you'll accompany us.' Matilda ordered.

'We have to get Ryan.'

And as she said that, we headed to his apartment, where for some reason the entire Pentatox was assembled, and after they heavily protested with the idea of us going to the Beguiling Islands, the most unexpected person stood up for us.

'Let them leave, Cecila. We don't need to stop Nature's message.' Prakash spoke.

'I'm going.' Varya stood up. Ryan started to protest, arguing that she was too young to accompany us, but I let her come. Varya genuinely seemed to want to help, and I needed friends. I also asked Ryan not to persuade Mat, he was too hostile and he needed to be left alone.

Together, we left for the Beguiling Islands on our Zephads, as Varya swam her way through and Aspen and Matilda took their enchanted forms to walk on the Ocean surface, majestically.

Clarity was near.
