CHAPTER 41: THE PAST OF THE PRESENT TELLS NO TALES

As years past, Teria was living in peace and quietness with no war and never heard of malice, Veria was born onto her mother's womb, and named the territory after her, the leaders of each territory greeted her birth, and everyone was delighted as so was Misteria, she thought to herself that she was an only child throughout those years, So came forth years by years, Aria, Carlia and Selestia were born, and grown faster than before, time was fast, The queen's sister Amelia visited her as she opens the castle to meet her lovely nieces and to see her sisters reaction.

She barged into the castle, leaving the guards floating and standby so they cannot stop Amelia, she closed the door as she swooshes her wand, the man got onto the ground as they fell unconscious, Amelia smiled and she saw 3 little children and two young adult, the sisters were surprised and don't know who it was, Misteria only knew the voice, their aunt spoke, "Guys what a lovely day, I see 3 children's and 2 young female adult, such lovely children all of you. All of you are my darlings, so precious, something is missing oh well", the children were stunned they have an aunt, her mother heard her sister there and came forth and stops 10 feet apart her and ask her this,"what are you doing here, I don't want you to see my children", she added as she exhale,"Misteria and Veria take your sisters and go to your room" veria replied with sadness, "but she's our aunt", "I said go", the queen responded quickly with anxiety, Misteria told her sisters," I think it is better if we go now, let be adults be adults".

They go to the room and become silent and Misteria tells her sister to cover their ears and play all they can with their toys. Things were silent, their mother talked to her sister first,"why are you here Amelia? Is there something I might know from you? your my sister and I'm waiting for you anytime, we shall never fight", Amelia responded with a big sigh,"You still consider me as your sister even after everything I've done?, Your so funny, promise your funny", Amelia chuckles in laughter, her sister the queen responded and was mad to her sister,"I still consider your sister, I think your in both side between good and evil, Remember what our father the sorcerer said In Misteria, we shouldn't fight", Amelia laughs and tells her sister with seriousness,"I'm warning about something that is coming, I've been with malice recently and he is good at being bad, do you want me continue and by the way? , I'm pure evil I'm just here to see my lovely nieces and catching up times, seeing the castle, and telling you something my precious sister", the queen asks,"you were never like this, what changed you, I want you to continue?", Amelia smirk and continued their conversation,"every 20 years, there was a Olympic games in the Witch territory to determine the Best witch, I thought myself why did you won, I was supposed to win but sometimes cheaters win, I saw it you use a psychic move on me when I almost beat you", "so do you want me to admit? That was long time ago" the queen said to her, "I don't want you to admit it, that makes you feel good and everyone will look at you like a good sister of me, I have two plans, you might say ridiculous, if malice renews the whole world I will be the best witch in town not just in the town but in the world and my other plan is, waiting for another 20 years but you'll get old and I am tired of waiting sisters should never cheat you know", The queen replied with touching her sister's arm,"is this about a game?, I'm sorry and I apologize now, I hope it's not too late, and let's stop malice together".

Amelia gets teared up and she snots her nose and tells her sister,"how do you feel when you said that? Do you feel good? You feel like you're the good guy around here? aren't you sis?"Amelia is angered as her sister replied,"I've never felt good after I cheated and I hated what I've done, I should have brought it up to you sooner if that is the reason, is there anything I can do?", Amelia cried as Her sister cried with her but something was off, Amelia raised her right arm Infront of her and Amelia broke a witch rule to never use sensory or emotional link to a person that doesn't grant you any permission in both sides, the penalty for it was refrain to use magic in 24 days as it was an illegal act and maybe used as a weapon, She showed it to her a black incantation circulating her wrist as it was in the right arm of her sister the queen, Amelia continued with such sad eyes,"you were never sincere to me to begin with", The queen was shookt by such act of her sister and Amelia tries to run away without breaking the spell off, she bangs the door shutting up the queen, and the cloud rumbles and lightning strikes the ground, rain slowly drops from the sky, as the storms rumbles like an earthquake, The queen followed her sister in those heavy rainstorms as the other town is flooded, the queen's sister is lost in the woods, their emotions are still link and tied as the queen chased, she yelled to the woods, "Amelia Amelia", in those darkness, Amelia uses her wand and release lightning as her sister is getting near her, she strikes a lighting onto a tree and falls right onto the queen, Amelia still ran crying without a destination as she goes on and on in those trees as he bumps with a guy, and she knew it was malice, malice smiled and tells Amelia as she bump him running out of breathe, Amelia was afraid of malice,"I see that you're heart is having sides and double feelings, you're running out if breathe", Amelia still had a hard time breathing as the rain drops, The queen is almost near and saw malice, the queen stops 15 feet apart and Amelia was worried of her sister, she take a look a back and saw her sister Crestia the queen, Malice look at her in the eye, and smirk at her, and slowly whispers to himself, "so this is the best witch in town that you speak of"Amelia interrupted with selfish emotions and scared of him, "malice no, not my sister, this wasn't the deal", Malice stared at her sister from afar and told Amelia, "what was the deal again?, it was an act of?", The queen spoke out loud and heard the word deal, she was shivering as she took a step, "Amelia what is she saying? And what deal he is talking about", the lady of the hour came forth on malice sides and smiled at the queen she is now surrounded and outnumbered in this tremendous rainfall.

Amelia was hesitant to tell her sister, and tells malice, "Don't tell her, that is none of your business, it is family", Malice replied with crazy laugh, "but I am family, your my in-laws are you not let's fix these once and for all", Gazenta spoke with Malice with an evil smirk,"this is where the exciting part begins", "no no no", Amelia was hesitant to malice to talk to her sister Crestia, malice asks Gazenta to seal the lips of Amelia, so she cannot speak, two witches grabs Amelia in both her arms and Gazenta use an incantation spell to seal it fro now, The queen was worried and steps as Amelia warns her by nodding her head no to not take a step,"what are you doing with her, my sister, my problem, don't seal my sisters mouth like that and don't grab her or hurt her she's still my sister", Malice signs the witches to be not too hard on Amelia, the queen continued, "I want to know about the deal, what is it", "uh the deal of course, your sister came forth to us and to Gazenta, she made a deal, the lady of the hour told her that once malice is back she can learn dark arts that she wants, the lady of the hour has such limited knowledge, I was at that time a dark art book was formed, no one can teach her in Misteria especially her sister the sensory or emotionally link incantation spell, I was the one who teach her and bring her power, we made a deal to sacrifice witches so I can have a body", malice felt weird and said to himself softly,"did I curse something or not?, I felt weird", then he continues to the queen, "your sister had a courage today to face you so she can try this magic, she is now powerful you wouldn't know because you weren't there, now the deal is finished and we don't know what to do with your sister, her heart is likely change now, what do you think I should to her?, you all have jealous blood so much of me from being good to be bad", Crestia was mad at her sister Amelia, and asked her this,"all for that Amelia? you should have asked me what you want? And tell me your feelings, malice shouldn't have been unleashed if weren't for that", Malice signed Gazenta to unsealed her mouth but still get hold by the lady of the hour witches,"I cannot know if you were sincere enough to love me, I thought you hated me that day in the game if I win, I was the one to first use the psychic magic before you, cause if I win, you will be mad at me, we were both wrong, I want to release malice not to end all of you but know your heart, it was a forgotten spell but I want it to restore but this isn't what I wanted to be, they used my weakness Sis hope you forgive me" the queen had doubled feelings about this and made a choice,

Queen Crestia was mad, she points her wand at her sister and tells her, "it shouldn't have ended like this sis", Malice laughs at of this feud and tells them both,"well this is fun", Amelia added as she says her last words,"shoot my sis darling hope you forgive me I deserve it", Queen crestia points and suddenly she changed her choice, the sensory link of her sister is still intact with her and Amelia felt the sincerity of her sister and hit malice with a big zap of lightning , but malice redirected it with a tree just by his hands, he suddenly felt it and showed Queen crestia his arm, that a sensory link is cast on her connecting to malice, malice knew it, and Queen Crestia formed a shield around her and grabs Amelia by her hand and kicks the lady of the our witch and pushing them using the rain water, Malice was mad about this, they started to ran, Amelia grabs her wand in her pocket and zaps Gazenta a lightning and she falls onto the ground unconscious, Queen Crestia let go of her hand, as they ran as they continued getting back to the town and castle, they shoot many trees preventing malice from getting near them, Malice was angered and use dark magic he splits the sister by using a dark transparent force field, as the queen continued to ran and stops as she felt weird of not hearing the footsteps of her sister, she looks back and saw her standing there in the force field trying to breakthrough, Crestia was crying and Amelia, as they care for each other, Queen Crestia ties to break the force field but it didn't work, she did it again and again, and Amelia felt giving up, as there were no other choice, the sensory link was gone as the force field cut it off, Malice was there on the back of Amelia as he smirks at The queen, the queen tries to punch and struck her wand at the force field, Malice was ready to kill her, the only thing Amelia was left to do was saying sorry to Crestia slowly as Crestia leans onto the ground on her sister, the rain was louder than before and Crestia screamed as malice touches her head and her eyes became black and became unconscious right afterwards she tries to crawl up and get onto the forcefield but malice smiled as her sister was on the ground and carries Amelia to his back and whispered to The force field without getting the queen heard what he was saying, "try me", malice smirk as he face back carrying The queen's sister forward into the woods, as the queen cried on to the ground in the middle of the rain, as she felt guilty of her sister, as she did not say sorry to her, she blames herself on the ground, and closes her eyes on those wasted grass.

Few hours later, her daughter Misteria searches for her mother in the woods and everyplace she can find as the rain slowly stops, she found her on the ground and yells for help and to carry her onto the castle, she was putted into the bed, as her sisters were worried and sick of there mother, Misteria touches her mother's head , as she felt it , it was hot than a boiling pot, she tells Veria to grab a cloth to treat her mother's fever, she tells Aria to tell the people in the castle to boil a soup so they're mother can eat , Misteria felt the urge to go outside and must call the king, she rode a horse as fast as she can and she saw the king in the path to the forest as he carries bread and rice for their town, Misteria interrupted as she halt her horse to move slowly and told the king, "Father father, it's mother", the king stops and tells Misteria, "what about your mother?, Is she okay", Misteria replied with sad eyes and sorrow, " she is sick and she has a fever, her sister came by and she got out in the rain and being wet, and we found her on the ground she is very hot", The king replied, "what are you waiting for we must go to her right now", there horses move fast leaving the carriages of food left behind on their way own going to town, the king barged in with her daughter and goes to the bedroom of the queen and ask, her, "my queen are you okay?, Misteria came to me that you were you sick where is your sister by the way", the king hold her right hand tightly and the queen responded,"my sister is out there somewhere I need her back, she was controlled , outwitted and used by the rebellion from malice, she is innocent, I should have been angry to her, I should have lover her as my sister", the queen coughs, Misteria's sister was on the side and she notices her mother already, drank and ate the soup, and she used the cloth in her forehead, the queen then added, "I have to tell you something privately", the king signed Misteria to take her sisters outside the room, all of them were curious about their mother will say.

Misteria assist them all to each of their bedroom as she stayed one with veria, The queen spoke to the king with tears in her bed,"malice, malice is back, each time we will hear something from him, evil will spread everywhere, he will take advantage on the weak Turning them against good, he will spread evil as to my sister, it was my fault", the king don't know what to and say and tells her wife, "all we can do is, wait for the time, we must begin to defend the territories and secure them all at once, we are not sure about the future, our children might be in danger, the whole Teria is now in danger", the queen agreed and added to his husband, the queen tries to stand and seat but was refrain the queen not to as she was sick, "I must find my sister, she must be somewhere out there a prisoner of malice perhaps", the king spoke to the queen with sympathy on his side,"my queen, let us handle this, you're still sick and you need plenty of rest, we need you in the future, the queen doesn't know anymore what to do, she had many problems on her hand as the king worries about the territories and the evil they will faced.

The king commanded the territorial leader to put the territories at higher risk and defenses, people and races spread rumors that malice is back and is recruiting monsters on his side and turning Life forms into evil monsters, time by time the queen looks for her sister as they get older and older as for the king, Misteria tries to read about magic, and Carlia and Selestia was with the kings side, Aria and veria, explores the castle and town, and heard such rumors exist, they were young but they were invulnerable, Many population in the territories decrease time by time, the king doesn't know what to do, some heard mAlice had a book of monsters that turned them into one, and he can go to Galdor anytime he wants and pulls each monster that he cannot take all because of such limit of the door and his powers, he made deals everywhere there and there, Teria was starting to have chaos, the king and queen had been too tired of this.

They relaxed themselves in the castle as the king and queen problems of it, it was in the middle of the night, the girls were on their rooms as they sleep the king and queen is still up in the hallway trying to figure things out as they sat on those stairs, an aurora showed in the castle suddenly with a bang it showed stars, then a portal showed and a white coated woman appeared slowly walking onto them, the queen ask of this lady,"who are you lady are you out threat", the king and queen stands, aurora responds and tells them with deep voice, "I'm neither a threat or a foe I'm here to warn and tell you something and I am Aurora the queen of the stars and healer of the celestial", the king added to aurora,"what is it that you want to tell us in these middle of the night?", aura proceeds on telling them a prophecy, "your ancestors my king were magic and light, and the heart of Teria, but the soul was gone when malice was around, I found out that you're daughters are the one who will bring back that soul to the heart, each of them is capable of something, send them in the territories and they will learn something about the true Teria", the queen asks, "what are you talking about?, I think I've heard this before", Aurora chuckles and tells the both of them,"you will know at the right time", The king was worried as the queen was they asked each other the queen asked first, "is it a good thing?, This may be the end for our daughters, Malice will get them as they got my sister I'm so tired of this", the king touches her wife's hand and tells her,"there's no choice we have, our daughters were destined for this, let's trust and see what will it turn out to be, let's fight our last fight and the best we can for our daughters, our daughters will see our sacrifice, but will never suffer we must send them now before it's too late", The queen eyes gets teary and makes a hard decision about it, she's thinking that it might be a trap or a trick but no choice do they have, they will sacrifice themselves for their daughters as they decided, to send them, sooner or later malice find out through Ophiuchus who posses the snake in the world to hear such secrets of life forms and to sneak, malice was angered, and deploy her monsters in the sooner days.
