PART IX – A PLAN OF DEATH

Days passed by, the seven mythical guardians or dwarfs came along well with Melissa together. They have fun together and because Melissa is very flexible on the new environment feels at ease with all of them. Even though the men are very, very unique [ or should I describe it as an abnormal? Neh, I don't think so! ] Melissa just adore them

Meanwhile, at the castle of Sairu, Soi got furious with so much anger that lightning was scattered at the sky. The people of Sairu are hiding in their houses because of so much fear with the vast clouds of lightning.

"Nooo!!! I can't believe what is happening!!!" Soi walked to and fro of her room. "I must eliminate her. I must think of something or whatever may it be that can make that girl get out of my way!" Soi paused for a while as something ticks on her mind. "Yes, that's right! Why haven't I thought of that!"

Soi closed her eyes and called out, "Miboshi! Come before your master!"

Lightning came inside the room and a kid with no hair floating on the midst of air appeared. "My lady, you've called out for me?"

"I want you to do me a favor for me, Miboshi." Soi said in a calmer tone of voice.

"As you wish, my lady. Just as what Master Nakago had told me to do. Just tell me what do you want me to do for you"

"I want you to make me something that can casts the sleep to someone" Soi said trying to picture it in Miboshi's mind.

"If that's what you wish, then, so it be!" Miboshi chanted some words and came out of his hand a beautiful red apple. "This apple can make your wish come true, my lady. But you must also remember not to be injured by anything that is sharp that can cause blood to come out of your skin. Something bad will happen you for it is the consequence of this spell" Miboshi remarked.

But Soi seemed not to be listening on him and excitedly pick up the red apple from Miboshi's hand. Soi approached the mirror and called, "Tomo!"

The handsome guy appeared and said, "My lady?"

"I want you to make an illusion out of me – an old ugly woman" Soi said confident on what her plan is going to be like.

Tomo nod and said, "Your wish is my command." Tomo showed his shin which then opened. Smoke came out of it and Soi turned into an old ugly woman just like what she's wishing for.

"Miboshi! Bring me to where my stepdaughter is!" Soi commanded.

Miboshi nod and with just a blink of an eye, they disappeared from the room. Tomo who was showed inside the mirror just stare at the room and then vanish as it shows Soi on her way to where Melissa is. The vision vanish and then it went back showing Melissa on her room on the castle of the seven mythical guardians

Meanwhile, at the castle in the middle of the forest, Lady Melissa got bored in wandering about the whole place. Until something caught her eyes – the garden of Tatara outside filled with so many beautiful flowers. "Oh, it's beautiful there! I think I'll go down for a while and take a glance on it."

With just a few minutes, Melissa is now walking around the garden. She happily smell some flowers and watch the insects that roam around. She suddenly remembers her pet, Tama. "I wonder how Tama is now. I just hope he's fine wherever he is"

Until an old lady came to her sight walking slowly. Until, after a few moments, slowly falls on the ground. Melissa rush to help the old woman and caught her before she land on the ground.

"That was nice of you, young lady." The old woman said with a faint smile on her face.

"It's nothing, madam." Lady Melissa answered with a gentle smile.

"Oh there are few kind people like you, young lady. And because of what you did for me, as a token of appreciation, please accept this wonderful and delicious apple."

Melissa smiled and said, "Oh, madam, I cannot accept that. Besides, I don't ask for any of your goods in return to what I did. It's not nice to accept something in return for my kindness." Melissa said hesitantly.

The old lady patted Melissa's shoulders and smiled, "Please"

Melissa was so confused if she would accept the apple or not. But in the end, she accepted it too.

"Why don't you take one big bite?" Encouragement of the old lady.

Melissa smiled and then agreed to a big slow bite. The old lady wait anxiously for Melissa to take that one big bite.

Unknowingly, Tama, the cat was just around and watch close behind Melissa. He sensed that the old lady was Soi and immediately attack her. But it's too lateMelissa has take the bite and then fainted.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" The old lady burst out in laughter and then transformed back to her true form. "At last, I've won! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Tama who was thrown away by Soi, arose and went near to Melissa. Soi vanished just like a bubble after that incident.

Immediately, Tama ran as fast as he could, trying to reach someone for help.
