Through the eyes of Matilda~

'Hail our queen.' Tears streamed down my face. I had believed she would be back, all this time, my requests had been answered. 'Marvella, I know you're just back, but you do need to answer us, if you may. I'm your oldest acquaintance, and I'd want to know what happened. We shall move to the Pentatox first.'

Everyone surrounded us. Cecila, the other rulers, no one could keep their awe and confusion hidden. I knew this would happen. She looked around with a smile on her face, every movement of hers as graceful as it were before. Karishma was special, and I had sensed it.

'I must say, Veer has proven righteous of his duties.' She began. Everyone braced themselves to listen to her. 'I understand you all have your queries. I had to do this. Etis was going in such a wrong path, that I had to do something which shaped it. Veer? I knew he would be the perfect man for this job since the moment I laid my eyes on him. I felt I was an efficient ruler, but Etis needed reformation from a different perspective, and look at how it has become now. I had learned about Zachariah's intentions at the same time as everyone else, and his betrayal enraged me. If I had not left then, Etis wouldn't have survived.'

'Why?' Ryan asked. That child, he was the closest to the Queen. He was truly blessed.

'Our Queen is the boon the universe had created for us, she's the one who brought and shaped Etis, the air and the land of it. Her powers know no bounds Ryan, her leadership, it is purely divine. Along with her, the Ocean Goddess was created too, both of them are the founders, the very roots of Etis.' I replied, remembering our glory was what I could do forever.

'That brings me to my query, where are they? Where is Veer? Where is Cordelia, my Ocean Queen?' She enquired.

'Queen, Veer had left into the Universe, hoping to find you a long time ago. The Ocean Goddess hasn't been seen since you fell, she was grieved. Veer tried to bring her back, but she simply didn't wish to connect. Her shire is still in the deepest part of the Great Ocean, left untouched.' Prakash narrated.

'They're supreme powers, and it's their wish as to when they want to appear if they want to or not. We shall not push that matter. I'm here, I have to lead my kingdom, we have to win this war, I shall not let Zachariah and Nathaira harm Etis anymore. They've made the Islands a disgrace, separating the twins, I'm sure Veer is upset.'

'How did you do all of this, Queen Marvella? I don't understand, are you inside Karishma or are you her, what is it?' Cecila enquired.

'It is full of complexities, this answer. After I crumpled into dust, I don't remember how long I was lost in space. After that, I wandered around in my spirit form, looking at different worlds, including Etis. As I landed upon Earth, I decided to reincarnate as a young, and I purposefully wiped my memories, and I left the key to them only in learning and reliving my story again. I wanted to forget that I was the Queen, for some time. But eventually, I sensed it was time for me to return, but I didn't want anything to go wrong. I didn't want to disturb what Veer had created, also I was very aware that Zachariah would not stop until he hunted me down, and the destruction that would bring forth? This? I didn't want that to happen. Well, it has now. And I will do anything to eradicate it.'

We all bowed down to her. Our Queen was back. Our most cherished history was back. I had lived for thousands of years, but I had never felt this amount of peace, ever.
