The Fallen Queen~[✓]

The Hall was lit with torches and chandeliers. The yellow light spread across the room. I stood there with Cordelia and Ryan by my side. Varya, Aspen, and Mat indulged in a conversation. I saw sparks fly between Mat and Varya, as they stepped aside to have a talk alone and Aspen happily joined the Season Sisters. Mr. and Mrs. Roy talked too, Mrs. Roy was pregnant for five weeks now, and they seemed happy. Deisy and Cecila kissed in a corner and they caught me staring. I pretended I wasn't. Dad stood in a corner, texting over his phone. The entire crowd of Etis filled in the garden and we headed up to the balcony.

'Everyone, attention.' Cordelia announced. There was silence.

'Good afternoon, everyone. Recently we saw Etis in such a position, and we don't want to see it there ever again. Recently we lost a fight against evil, and it came with heavy losses. We lost friends, families, teachers, and who not. We lost Matilda, one of our wisest. We lost Savannah, who in such a short time developed belonging to this land. We lost Prakash, he turned out to be a traitor. Fayna, she left us too. Varya, she is no longer a mermaid, but the girl who revived the Ocean Goddess now. We lost warriors, we diminished traitors, we trained, we restored our land, and now the time has come that we bring back our twin Island too. Beguiling Islands shall no more be it, and we shall restore the twin Enchanted Islands. We shall have peace in all the three realms, yet again. We shall end misery on Earth too. Its time, we fight for our rights. Ourselves. Hail Etis.' I perfected.

'Hail Etis!' Everyone roared along with us. The enthusiasm, the patriotism, it made bile rise in my throat.

'Now. Mrs. Roy and dad will take all the required people to our Goan house and on Earth. When we acquire the antidote, Rene will deliver it to you. Summer and Winter would guard the Air realm, Autumn and Spring would do so for the Island. There is every possibility that they'll try to attack here. So, we have to be prepared.' I spoke.

'Cecila and Deisy would be in Pentatox, along with the cannons and the ones who'll practice magic from a distance, Deisy will work on the antidote and Rene will assist her. All of us, we'd go to the Beguiling Islands.' Cordelia ended.

'We all know Betta has been there spying on them since the past month, and we know they are prepared. Let's go. It's time to end this.' Ryan spoke. We looked at each other. Who knew a year ago that we'd be waging war on an island rather than trying to hide our relationship from our parents?

'I would miss Veer.' Cordelia sighed. 'You remember you both had visited the beach a day before you left his Islands? I had given you a tour of our castle and we ate the best of lobsters.'

'I do. I so wish he had been here. He'd come back. It would be best if he reincarnated. Just like me.' But could Veer be someone else ever?

We headed towards the Island, which of course was ready with their army. And it started. Thrashing and Slicing and Magic, everything. We attacked with all our might. And this time, Deisy's planned pieces of training and Cordelia's motivational speeches did wonders.

We were overpowering them steadily.
