Chapter 25 - CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

" STUDENT AND MENTORS "

A FEW YEARS AFTER THE CORONATION,

Ced was now the crowned princess of Khastriya. She was mentored by her Miss Dominica. Until the time has come. The rightful owner of the bluish gem from Novaria arrived to get that piece of the scepter from Novaria.

"Beam, and Leah you are here. I'm glad you are visiting me again." Ced said to the visitors.

"We are here, to get the piece of the scepter from our realm. And we're happy that you're okay now," Beam said.

"Sure, and our kingdom is now at peace, so I don't need this anymore. I taught my people how to fight. Especially for women like us," Ced explains while she handed Beam the piece of the scepter from Novaria.

Then another visitor from Novaria arrived.

"Miss Angel, I'm glad to meet you. The princess of Lumia." She said and vowed to the princess.

"Nice to meet you too. And I am glad to meet you in person, Ced." Angel said.

"Now, we have the piece of the scepter. Angel must give you something in return," Beam said.

"No, I'm good," Ced says as she tries to refuse the gift that the angel gave her.

"This a wish. Allow us to give you a wish," Leah said when suddenly another visitor arrived. And all the sunny and cloudy weather suddenly changed. They saw Enigma floating in the air approaching them.

"Greetings princesses!" Enigma said while she laughed.

"What do you want, Enigma," Beam said as she changed her appearance and used her battle suit.

"Calm down ladies, I am here to challenge the crowned princess of Khastriya," Enigma said.

Meanwhile, in the small town where his sister Mailin was worried about her.

"What does she mean by that?" Manang Luchia asked Mailin.

"She will sacrifice herself to me because of this curse Sitan gave us a billion years ago," Mailin said.

"We need to do something, Mailin, about this." Manang Luchia said, and she saw that Mailin was very worried about her sister.

Going back to Ced...

As my visitors wanted to help me in this fight, they were stunned by Enigma. They can't move like a statue. When they tried to cast a spell, the curse of Enigma got worse if they tried to fight the curse.

"We have no choice but to stand here and watch Ced," Beam said.

"This is her final battle," Angel said and stared at Ced.

While they were in the middle of their fight, Mailin arrived with Manang Luchia. And they witnessed the fight between Ced and Enigma.

"This is not good, Mailin; your sister just keeps absorbing the attacks of her opponent," Manang Luchia.

Until they saw Ced quickly plummet due to a powerful energy released by Enigma. That is why Ced saw an opportunity to approach Angel to get her wish.

"That's not gonna work, Dear," Angel said. As Ced asks her to defeat Enigma.

"Okay, bring my Mentors back to life," Ced replied.

"Your wish is my command!" Angel said, and she immediately used the bluish gem and cast a spell. And suddenly a voice talks to Ced.

"What's your wish, young lady!" said the voice

"Xeres, bring my mentors back to life," Ced said while Enigma was smiling at what she saw.

"This is part of my plan. And finally, my sister will be free from that Sitan!" She said at the same time as she saw Mailin and Manang Luchia from afar.

"What is she doing here? Mailin'!" She said when she saw her sister. She will approach her sister when suddenly a strange black smoke appears in front of her and says at the same time.

"Your hypocrite, don't you think you will escape from me? If you die, You will be with me, Enigma."

"Sure, I know that! I'd love to stay by your side, my lord!" She said, and she started to attack Ced using her energy balls that came from her hands.

"Were they alive?" Melanie said, as she was surprised when she saw that they were alive.

"Watch out!" Sharmaine said as she saw the incoming energy balls created by Enigma. And immediately she creates a shield that protects them.

"What did you do Ced? We're supposed to be resting at Kamurawayan", Helen said.

Kamurawayan- means heaven in Bicol myth, where the supreme being called Gugurang was staying.

"Sorry, but we need you here in Khastriya," Ced said.

"Guys, I can't hold this forever, please!" Sharmaine said.

"Helen, let's help her in this fight," Zandra said as she changed her appearance as she was originally from Lumia.

"Okay, I miss doing this, the fight that we had with Amanda was so boring!" Melanie said as she did the same as Zandra did. She shows her true form to everyone. She originated from the kingdom of Hestia. Her hair turns into a blazing fire.

"You look like the woman I met in the forest before," Ced said.

While Enigma starts to use all her powers and corrupts the appearance of Khastriya, she makes it all into a dark and cold place.

"What's happening?" Miss Dominica said as she saw all around her turn dark and terrifying.

Helen changes her appearance with Sharmaine. They hold their hands together, and they start to cast a spell and, in an instant, their appearance changes.

"Let's fight!" Ced said, and she tried to draw in the air a symbol and Melanie held her hands and guided her.

"Inhale and Exhale and focus on what you are trying to draw!" Melanie said, and they drew together a symbol that lightens all the surroundings.

"Go on! I love what I see." Enigma said. And a huge wave of black smoke suddenly approached Ced and her mentors. Then Helen and Sharmaine held her hands, and together they used their voices to counter that black smoke and turn that one into clean air.

"Now feel my wrath," Enigma said, and she used all of her power to defeat Ced, but that's not what happened.

While they were busy fighting, Mailin and Manang Luchia approached Billy and Miss Dominica about their sister's plan.

"This is a suicidal mission," Billy said, and then Leah from Novaria offered her help to Mailin.

"As the goddess Lalahon said, we can purify her using your arrow, but your power is not enough to fight the essence of Sitan. I'll give a blessing to this arrow and make sure you hit the target," Leah said.

"But how can we do that? We are stuck in the palace while Beam and Angel are outside the palace, they can't even move their legs because of the curse of Enigma." Miss Dominica said.

"I know how I'll do it!" Mailin said.

"You sure about this Mailin?" Manang Luchia said.

"Yes, Manang for my sister," Mailin replied and the determination on her face showed.

"We don't have much time. Go ahead and save your sister" Goddess Lalahon said.

And Mailin leaves with Manang Luchia, and they try their luck to save Enigma.

When Enigma uses all her powers to defeat her mentors, Ced and her mentors hold their hands together and create a blast of white light towards Enigma's black force that is supposed to hit them, but suddenly an arrow hits her back when she turns around, she sees her sister Mailin holding a vow.

"Mailin, what have you done?" she felt too much pain in her back. Then, suddenly, the shield that she created for the castle and the spell she gave to Angel and Beam that stunned them disappeared.

At the castle, Leah and Dave immediately go outside to complete the purification.

"Ced draws the symbol of purification now!" Leah shouted and Ced immediately drew the purification symbol, but there was a strange happen. She can't close all the lines of that symbol. And that's why Enigma laughed at them, then she said.

"Fool, you can't purify me! And you sister, how dare you to betray me. All I want is your freedom!" Enigma said,

"You don't have to sacrifice yourself, sister. Everything has a solution; you always remind me about that," Mailin said.

At that time, Enigma is no longer in herself. She is controlled by Sitan.

"Look at them, Enigma, they were so fooling about rescuing you from me," Sitan said, and she held Enigma's soul at the Sulad.

Sulad- in Philippine mythology it means Hell, or in other beliefs, this was called the Land of the Dead where it was guarded by a giant serpent called Bakunawa.

Going back to Khastriya.

"Wait, I have an idea," Ced said at the same time she whispered into the air and this message was delivered to the citizens of Khastriya.

"Help me to draw this purification symbol," Ced said.

And that is what all the citizens of Khastriya do. The kids draw on their papers the symbols, and their parents draw them too, as Ced asks for their help. With those drawings, multiple light balls appear and fly into the air, then they go to Ced where she was.

"Now!" Ced shouts and all of them release the symbol that causes the arrow to light up even more.

Enigma felt a strange energy that gradually removed the dark essence that bound her for a long time.

"Sister, please let us help you. Free yourself now!" Mailin said.

Meanwhile, at Sulad,

The chains bound to Enigma's body for a long time were slowly disappearing and Sitan didn't like what he saw.

"No!" Sitan shouted.

Until the chains that bound her completely disappeared and Mailin saw the changes of her sister, while her sister was still unconscious after the purification.

"We're successful, good job, Ced," Leah said.

"Ate, we don't have time. Let's go to Hestia." Dave Ced immediately opens a portal.

"Thank you, Ced, we will visit soon," Beam said. And Ced just nodded her head and smiled at them.

After that happened, Mailin took her to the small village where she lived.

"Thank you for saving my sister," Mailin said.

"Happy to help you Mailin, well see you there," Ced said.

"What do you mean my queen?" Mailin asked her and she just winked at Mailin.

Ced gave the throne to Helen, but her mentor did not accept it. Instead, she recommended it to the right of being capable of ruling the kingdom with fair judgment and her heart was for the citizens of Khastriya.

"Who?" Ced asks her. And Helen pointed at Miss Dominica.

"Right!" Ced said at the same time she called the attention of Dominica.

They crowned the new Queen of Khastriya, Dominica. Ced and Billy decided to go back to Earth as their hearts belonged to that realm, the same with S.A.P girls. It is now making a name in the acting and music industry.

Ced is back as a policewoman, and she will be with her friends Marc and Leanne.

At the police station...

"La Fiery rescued the woman who was kidnapped by the black dragon organization," Marc said as he laid the newspaper on his desk and Ced and Leanne saw it.

"La Fiery, she did it again," Leanne said.

"Where's Denny Anne?" Ced whispers.

CATCH ALL-NEW EPISODES OF LA'FIERY

Gabriela will take her revenge on the Black Dragon Organization.
