"I can't believe she's dead. She confronted me not too long ago. How is she dead right now? What is going on?" Hazel said, a worried look on her face. Across the room where she was standing with Yuka, Lhyle and Kai, lay the corpse of princess Tanya. She was wearing a white dress, her black hair was let loose and there was no makeup on her pale face. She looked like she was merely asleep, but every other person in the room knew that she was no longer breathing.

"Can someone please tell me what's happening here?" Hazel asked the men who were with her. They all looked sullen and this only made her more concerned.

"We'll explain it all later. But, for now, let's hope that this isn't her ninth death. If it isn't, it means she'll regain consciousness in a few weeks," Kai stated.

"You mean, come back to life," Hazel said and Kai nodded slowly.
