Author's note: Oh my, ducks as readers throw things, sorry. I meant to update sooner I really did. Don't hurt me. I'll try to write you a nice long chapter to make up for it. Thank you to all my reviewers, and readers for putting up with me.

CHAPTER FIVE (i am on chapter 5 aren't i?)

Alanna's POV

She leaned against the door frame. She had no clue as to what was happening. How could her whole life disappear over night? She had been thinking all morning and still did not know what was going on. Her stomach growled. It was way past breakfast time. I'll just go get something to eat, and figure this out later, but first I need to find a better outfit. As she looked through her closet, she stopped at a lilac silk dress. This will look perfect! She carefully put it on, and gave a small twirl. " My hair, it's a complete fright!" Just as she had started to attack her hair with a brush, she froze. This wasn't like her at all. She never took this much time to get ready. What was wrong with her? Still, if she wanted to eat any time soon, she might as well finish what she started.

A half hour later, she stepped out of her room ready to take on the world, only to realize where she was. These are the Eldorne apartments! Things are definitely wrong. Her stomach growled, reminding her of her reason to out and about. She sighed this was going to be a long day.

The Divine Realms

"What the hell were you thinking, Kyproith?! Do you realize that you've jeopardized everything? If my chosen one fails, not only will it mean the end of a kingdom, it could possibly lead to our end as well! What is so important that you have chosen to put both the mortal and divine realms on the line? If you say that it is only part of some wager, I will personally throw you into the realms of Chaos." The Great Mother Goddess threatened.

"Sister, please, I was only answering the prayer of My chosen. The spell only lasts for one day, after which, if you wish I can erase all the memories, though I was planning on allowing your chosen to keep hers." Kyproith replied.

"I still suspect a trick, but I will wait out the day before I make any final decision, on anything. You're not off the hook yet."

Author's note: I'm so sorry that this update is so late. I've had some writer's block on this story, and that plus vacations and technical difficulties have lead to this late update. I'm really sorry. You can kill me if you want, but then I won't be able to write at all. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews. If you would like me to review your story, just let me know with a review.
