章節 9: Chapter 9
The Truth and Leaving (Part 1) :
Vala knocks off the chair she was sitting on as the image finally cleared from her head, she manages to get hold of herself before she falls, keeping the empty cup on the table.
"What did I just see? Did you put me in a sort of trace?" Vala demanded harshly as she regained herself and was glaring at Zelik.
"The wine you drank made you know who you truly are Vala." Zelik replied as he smiled at her.
"And how did you know all this, were you there when the egg I was in fell down?"
"My master has the power to see the future, he foresighted this and gave me this wine to give it to Haule's daughter, so whatever that was revealed to you, is the truth." Zelik explained.
Vala wanted to speak but suddenly remembered something. In the vision shown to her, she saw Dew who hid herself from getting seen by the two queens when Queen Alfy purposely let go of her hands.
Does that mean Dew knows? Was that the reason why she's always insisting that everything said about Pula wasn't true?
"So what do you want me to do?" Vala asked.
"You have to free your father and Lord Daniel, and also save your mother." Zelik responded.
"Okay, that's easy, I can do that. So where is my father kept?"
"It's not as easy as you thought, my princess. You see, Galore and Zeus used a special kind of chains to cage your father, the chains were made out of Lord Daniel."
"Okay." Vala said. "You want me to unlock the chains used by chaining my father, right?" Zelik nodded his head, she continued. "That was why I said it's easy. Just tell me the location where they kept my father and mother." She added.
"Unlocking the chain is very hard and impossible unless one of Galore bloodline uses his hands to free your father, that's where you come in."
"How so?"
"The younger son of Galore is all you need to free your father and Lord Daniel and he will be the key to the freedom of your mother." Zelik answered her.
"Where he is right now so that I can handle him toughly, just give me one day and he will spill out how to free my father and my Lord." Vala told Zelik.
"It's kind of hard, the second son of Galore isn't someone you mess with, his name is Ruthless."
"Is he as Ruthless as his name?" Vala asked obviously interested in the bearer of the name. How can a sane person bear Ruthless?
"More than, he is very dangerous and wicked than Lucifer himself, befriend him and--"
Interrupting him.
"So technically you are telling me to befriend someone you just described as Lucifer himself? Are you nuts?"
"Princess Vala, your father is related to Lucifer himself, they are brothers. You are related to Lucifer so that makes you and Ruthless equal probably in terms of powers and strength." Zelik said to her.
Vala laughed out a little, "Are you sure you are okay, I am not that strong, the only thing I can boost off is my sharp brain and these chains around me, I don't have any special kind of power." She told him.
"You are mistaken Princess Vala. The clothes you're wearing, who gave them to you?"
"Who else if not my guardians."
"They cast their magic in those dresses to suppress your demon powers."
Vala was shocked. This man in front of her was really revealing a lot about her and her shock turned into fury.
Not only did Queen Alfy and Calfy damage her face, they hide what she really is.
"Tell me what to do."
"You just have to befriend Galore's second son and get him to trust you. Believe me, Ruthless hardly trusts anyone even himself so it will be very hard to gain his trust. Once you've gained his trust, then you can strike and take his heart." Zelik explained
"But that's a murder, you want me to murder Ruthless so that his ghost would hunt me and not you? Are you sure you sane?"
"My Princess, Ruthless has two hearts, stealing anyone won't make him die."
Hearing that Ruthless has two hearts marveled Vala. She wanted to see Ruthless.
"Okay, I will accept if Pula gets to come with me."
"Fine with me."
"Then i am in. How do I get to meet you physically? You know I don't know anyone and I have nowhere else to stay if I accept the admission to study in the supernatural school." Vala asked.
"You shall meet me at the outskirts of the Land of the Elves. Everything has been arranged, I shall be your guide until you release your father and mother." Zelik reply.
"Okay, thanks for everything, see you soon Zelik."

Unknown Place:
At an unknown cave, Zelik appeared in front of the cave and bowed.
"Greetings to you my Lord."
"Save your greetings and tell me when I am going to be free?" A deep gruff voice was heard from the cave, as it talked, the whole cave shook.
"Very soon."
"Very soon? I have been hearing that word from Daniel and now you. Yours is even worse, I have waited for two thousand years waiting for when your 'Very soon' would come." The voice bellowed in anger.
'But you've been there for many thousand years.'
Zelik said in his mind.
"I have seen who I was looking for, she will help us."
"Who is she?"
"Your brother daughter, she's the only one who can free you, but first she has to bring what will be used to free you. Just be patient a little more, my Lord."
"Fine, I can't wait to leave this prison, don't come back here if you are not coming to free me."
"Yes my Lord, I shall take my leave now." Zelik said and disappeared

When Vala opened her eyes, it was already morning. She quickly left her room and headed straight to Dew's room.
Dew opened her door when she heard a knock and from the scent she knew who it was.
"I now know everything."
"I don't understand you Vala."
"I now understand what really happened to Pula, thanks for not making me hate an innocent woman." Vala thanked her. "I cane her to have my bath and probably borrowed one of your clothes to wear today, please."
"What's you on, did something happen to your bathroom?"
"Nothing happened my dear Dew."
Few minutes later, Vala had taken her bath and wore one of Dew's dresses, even though she was taller than the elf, the dress surprisingly fits her. Thanking Dew she left her room and headed outside the palace.
She made her way to where she knew they would be, her chains were making a lot of noise but she didn't mind.
Arriving at the huge tree, which wasn't far from the palace, she saw some of the elves and family of those who participated yesterday in the task with her
The wolf messenger who were sent by Galore were holding five small papers in his hand
Vala went to stand beside the four Elves she had led yesterday. On a normal note, she wasn't always present whenever the notes were to be shared.
The messenger gave them the papers which had only their first name on it.
"The di of you have now gain admission to study in the supernatural school. So you are welcome to start any time from tomorrow." The messenger said.
"Vala, what are you doing there, come out of the line this minute and hand me that paper with you." Queen Alfy ordered.
"Remember what we discussed last time, right?" Queen Calfy spoke and Vala walked up to meet them as Queen Alfy stretches out her hand to collect the paper from Vala.
The two sounds of slaps that echoed around made everyone's mouth agape in shock and surprise.
Haera, Alfy's daughter, lifted up her hand to slap Vala but one stare from Vala froze her hand mid-way
Facing the two Queens she just slapped, she closed the distance between them and stood at their middle, placing her hand on each of their shoulders.
"My childhood has been a lie, I am tired of listening to you both voices. Actually why don't you both take a break from the lies you have been telling me, so sit down and relax, relax." Vala told them and when none of them made any move, the booming voice of Vala sent fears down to the heart of every present.
"I said sit down and relax."
Queen Alfy and Calfy sat down on the bare ground shaking with fear.
