Chapter 3 - Chapter three~The beginning of their end.

Aah screamed Lydda , I saw , I saw , ….

Bang! Bang! Bang! My Lord , came the rushed voice of the beta of Alpha Ramon. There's something urgent you need to see came his rushed voice.

I told you not to interrupt me came Ramon's angry voice. It's , princess Vernice. He immediately stood up leaving the petrified woman dumbfounded.

You're not leaving me here like this , are you? Now's not the time for this Lydda he said while scrambling to put on his clothes. I believe it'll help if you're out too. Without waiting for her response he marched out. The situation is very dire my lord, the princess' chamber was on fire. In fact her whole wing go burnt almost nearing the queen's residence.

There's been no survivors so far, but fifteen unrecognizable bodies. What about the princess. We couldn't find out. It's been classified as confidential.

How long ago did it occur. It's been almost three hours now my Lord.

Fuck!! He cursed gritting his teeth, trying to keep his voice in check.

He quickly made his way towards the crown princess' residence and it looked like hell was opened there. Instead of the magnificent looking manor there stood in place nothing but ruins left.

What caused this ? We don't know yet. Investigation is still underway. She's going to be even uglier than now , Ramon muttered under his breath , frustrated. I don't think she'll survive this said the beta as a matter of fact.

Then we count it as our blessing.

And good riddance's to one nuisance. I'm going to try and figure out what's going on. Try and keep a low profile, the guards will be on high alert.

The king' s residence.

How is my daughter? Came the king's commanding voice. She's not responding to the healing , I don't think she'll make it through tonight. I'm sorry your Highness.

This cannot be came the king's booming voice. When he heard of the fire , he had has over immediately. But it was too late. They needed the elder water mages before they were able quench the thirst of the raging flames.

Vern please be alright the king kept on chanting in his head. Without waiting for the fire to be completely out, he went in and found me on the floor looking like burning coal.

For a moment he thought I was no more, till he delicately held me wrist which held a faint pulse even though it was small it was still there. He quickly covered me with his outer jacket and picked me up , brought me to his residence through his very own carriage.

I will not lie that was probably my first time in his carriage.

What do you mean she's rejecting her healing process ? If my daughter dies ,then so will you and your entire family. Mark my words said kind Vincent in a cold voice before he marched out.

I'm sorry but I'll have to do this. The healer then summoned the elder water mages.

You know this is against the law of nature right ? This might end up breaking her core. She might never be able to shift ever again. It's either this or she dies. So pick one said the healer coldly glaring at the elder water mages.

You don't have any other option, let's get started then.

They shut everything one out and placed bowls of water round my bed in a circular pattern. The healer then drew intricate lines and patterns. They began to murmur some incantations, the air became eerily quiet the water in the bowls began to form ripples in them. Their eyes then glowed blue and so did the water. In no time small droplets of water began to seep through my burnt and cracked skin. It hurt like hell ,my eyes flew open and I let out an ear shattering scream them I went back to being unconscious. Did it work ?? Asked the youngest mage Dervin. I don't know. ..
