"I...I'm thinking." Adrianna answered, still pacing and not looking at him.
"About what? Is there something wrong?" Regan asked.
"No, nothing's wrong." Adrianna quickly answered.
"Are...are you sure?" Regan sympathetically asked, putting his hand on her
shoulder.
"Regan..." Adrianna growled under her breath. She froze and Regan took his hand
off her shoulder.
"Please, Adrianna. Tell me now what you are pondering so much about." Regan
asked.
"Regan, I..." Adrianna started.
"You...what?" Regan replied.
"I think...I think that, maybe, I sort of...well...love you." Adrianna confessed.
"You.." Regan gulped, "You...love me?" Adrianna nodded. "You really do? I...I
love...love y-y-you too." Regan stuttered.
"You...what?" Adrianna panted.
"I love you as well; I have ever since I saw you, ever since we talked for endless
hours, ever since you saved Zafirah's life. I love you for thinking of me before you were to
be a fairy. I love you for that look on your face, right now." Regan explained. Adrianna
was now blushing and smiling more than she had ever smiled before, there was even a
small tear in her eye. Regan took her hand and brought it to his lips and kissed her hand
gently.
"What...is that music?" Adrianna questioned.
"Do you want to dance?" Regan asked her.
"Yes, I would love that." Adrianna smiled. Then Regan help his left hand up and
Adrianna placed her hand on his, and she placed her other hand on his right shoulder and
they slowly danced to the music as they held each other. "Regan?"
"Yes?" Regan whispered. Adrianna moved her mouth to his ear.
"Is there anything that can kill a fairy?" Adrianna nervously asked.
"Well, just the one thing, ambrosia poison. It can kill anything, even immortals.
But, it is also extremely rare and only a god would be able to find it. Why do you ask?"
Regan replied.
"Because, I've a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, and because I don't want
anything to happen to us, ever. I want to live all of my life with you." Adrianna responded.
"Okay, but don't worry. There aren't any gods with grudges against us or
anything. We are in no danger." Regan calmly explained.
"Well, I would never shun a woman's intuition. They are very reliable." Adrianna
told him.
"We can go the fairy house now; it is safe there for sure." Regan said. They
both then spun around very fast and teleported themselves to the fairy world. This was a
beautiful place, always so clean and everything glowing with a shimmer of gold, fountains
spotted all over, long white houses surrounding the beautiful park, each with a list of
names of the fairies whom occupy it. "Ours is right over...there!" Regan gleefully
announced. They lived in a house next to the Fairy Hall, the place where all fairies report
their good deeds they want recorded. (The deal with that is that when you have done
1,000,000 good deeds, you receive a special visit to the gods for a certificate.)
"I think I am tiring, shall we go to bed?" Adrianna yawned.
"You go ahead, I am going to check this place out some more." Regan said.
"Be safe...hurry...back." Adrianna sleepily ordered. Then, Regan set off to explore
Fairy World, and Adrianna went to her room. She looked down at the list, it read
"ADRIANNA ROYALE-----DOOR 3", so she poofed herself into door 3 and sat down
on her lovely pink bed. She glanced at her night table and on it was a small dish with some
water-like substance in it. "I wonder what this is..." Adrianna thought as she looked down
at the bowl. Slowly an image started to appear, it was her castle! There was an old woman
crying in a room, it was Madam Miriam! Then, sound started from the bowl.
"Oh...That wretched child!" Madam cried. "I will kill her if she ever shows her face back
here! Leaving me alone to tell her father of her doings, oh! I will surely be hung if he
discovers that she isn't at boarding school! Ohhh.." She paused for a moment and put her
palms together so that she was praying. "Adrianna, please! Come back to us! I promise! I
will never be bad to you again! Pleeeaaasssee!" Then the image blurred and
stopped.
"Oh, my. I must go to her!" Adrianna said aloud. Then she poofed herself to
Regan and stopped him. "I must go home! Right now! If you wish to come along then I
will be grateful. But, we must leave at once!" She ordered.
"Yes, I will come with you. Please tell me why we are leaving on our way, though."
Regan
answered, grabbing Adrianna's hand as they disappeared and reappeared at the edge of
Anarcia. Then, they both shot through the air, directed towards the Royale castle. They
arrived
above the castle in just a few short minutes, but Adrianna had enough time to tell Regan of
what had happened.
"She, she was in here!" Adrianna panted. "Let's go through my bedroom window
and then make sure to look human again...okay?" Regan nodded. They slowly drifted
down to a small dark window (it must have been 9:00 at night), and they flew inside and
immediately poofed their wings away and stopped glowing. Adrianna didn't say anything
as she grabbed Regan's hand and whisked him down the hallway to a small lit room at the
end. Crying was faintly heard as they stopped outside of the doorway. "I will go in; you
stay out here until I tell you to come."
"Okay." Regan answered. Then Adrianna gently pushed open the door and Madam
screamed!
"I...I have returned." Adrianna announced.
"Y-y-you...came back?" Madam sobbed slightly. "I...missed you! Adrianna, please never
leave us again! I thought you were dead!"
"I am not dead, and I am not staying long. I have something to tell you..."
Adrianna slowly said. Then, Madam's door flew completely shut and magically turned into
a steel, magic-proof door, the walls followed suit. "What...what is this?"
Madam laughed. "This, you little beast, is what I like to call a set up. For, you see,
I am no mere woman either." A big sneer spread across her face. "I am Miriam,
demi-goddess of torture! And you, little brat, have interfered too long in my scheme to
control Royale! I will win! However, for now, I want you to suffer in this room for a while
longer. Good day!" Miriam laughed. Then, she disappeared into thin air, leaving Adrianna
trapped in her small room.
"Regan! Regan! Can you hear me?" Adrianna screamed.
"Adrianna? What happened? I can't open the door, are you okay?" Regan
answered, but Adrianna had to strain her ears to hear him.
"I am not okay! Miriam is an evil demi-goddess and my magic can't get me out! Help! Get
help!" Adrianna ordered.
"O...oh no! Back off you evil...Adrianna! Sorry! I am leaving!" Regan yelled.
Adrianna started to cry as she sat in the corner of the room. "Regan...be careful...oh…why
me? I will not stand for this!" Adrianna stood up, "I will not let you kill me!
Miriam! Are you too scared to fight me like a real demi-goddess? Bring it! I want to fight
you!" Adrianna banged on the door. Suddenly, Miriam appeared in the room.
"You do, do you? You think that you, a mere child in life, with mere fairy powers,
can beat Miriam, mistress of mayhem, demi-goddess of torture? Ha...hahahaha! You are
funny, dear child. However, you will not be fighting me...You will be dead." Adrianna
shook her head in disbelief. "Yes, I do have the ambrosia poison. I love being able to put it
to good use. Now, drink up, my dear child!" Miriam roared.
"No! Never!" Adrianna responded, throwing a magic bolt at Miriam's head. "You
will perish for your evil doings! Never has evil won in the battle against the good!"
Adrianna yelled, dodging a swish from Miriam's newly poofed sword.
"Give up little girl! I can help you die quicker!" Miriam hissed. Then, Adrianna
plunged her poofed sword into Miriam. "Ahhhhhh!" Miriam screamed. Then, she fell to
the floor, bleeding from her wound.
"Take that, witch!" Adrianna yelled as she raised her sword to take off Miriam's
head. Then, Miriam disappeared and reappeared behind Adrianna and stabbed her with a
dagger dipped in ambrosia poison. "Oh..." Adrianna feel forward, one hand to her heart,
the other holding her up. Miriam laughed an evil loud laugh.
"Adrianna!" Regan screamed out as he sliced off Miriam's head with one quick swipe.
"Adrianna! No!" Adrianna was now resting on the ground, barely alive and bleeding from
her wound. "Ivan! Zona! Help her!" Regan ordered, and then he went over to the dead
body of Miriam. "You..You!!" Regan hollered.
"Where do I find the cure?" Regan yelled.
"It...it is two items, which you have 24 hours to retrieve and treat: a dragon tooth
and water from a golden waterfall. The dragons are in Anarcia, but no one has ever found
the golden waterfall. Zona and I will treat her wounds as much as we can...hurry!" Ivan
answered.
Regan moved over to Adrianna. "I will find the antidote, if it is the last thing I ever do."
Regan whispered. Adrianna did not reply, so Regan gently kissed her forehead and
departed.
"About what? Is there something wrong?" Regan asked.
"No, nothing's wrong." Adrianna quickly answered.
"Are...are you sure?" Regan sympathetically asked, putting his hand on her
