Slowly, Leora opened her eyes. Everything was black. She blinked and then realized that she had just fallen off of the platform. It was at least sixty feet from the ground. 'How am I still alive?' She thought.

"I saved you." A voice called to her.

Leora looked around, and noticed she was floating. She jumped back a little from the scare, and when she turned around, she jumped back the other way. There was her fairy godmother, Constance, floating right next to her.

"Hi." She softly said.

"Aunt Connie!" Leora stood up and ran into her arms. They slowly floated up to the platform and sat down.

"What are you doing here? I'm not still dreaming, am I?" Leora asked.

"No, you're not. I knew you needed me. You called for me in the nick of time and I was able to rescue you. It was just like destiny." She smiled.

Leora stood up and walked to the other end of the platform, "No." she whispered.

"What my child?"

"NO! I'm sick and tired of hearing that word! Destiny! That's all my life is now! I mean, just last night I kissed the wizard who claims we're destined to be together! What if I don't want to have that destiny? Why does everything here have to already be planned? My stupid dream that keeps repeating is like a destiny too!"

Constance fluttered over to the girl who began crying. She patted her on the shoulder, "There, there my child. Come, sit down. I will tell you something."

She took her back away from Aden who was snoring quite noisily. The fairy dried Leora's tears and softly soothed her, "My sweet princess, you must remember-"

"No, I'm not a princess Connie! I just another regular average girl from New York! I'm just lost that's all! Everything's all been planned for me! I hate it! Why, just for once, can't I choose my own path?"

"You can my child! Listen to me, it is true that you were meant to be a ruler, but not everything in your life has been destiny!"

"Like what?" Leora said sniffling.

"Do you remember that one summer before your first year of high school? You were confused between going to cheerleading camp with the other girls or going to literature and arts camp. Everyone at school went to cheerleading camp, and you wanted to be included too. But, you loved to read. So, you went to lit. camp, and you loved it dearly."

Leora smiled a little, "Yeah, those were good times."

"Yes they were. And, that was only an example, Leora. You've had tons of decisions on your own. That very night you were crowned Lady of the Rose, you yourself chose that crown, when Wendell asked you."

"I know, but lately, everything's been so hard. It's so stressful. I don't know if I can handle all of these decisions!"

Her fairy godmother took her by the shoulders and they stood up, "My dear child, you are the strongest, bravest young girl I have ever known. I believe in you Leora. You can do whatever you wish. Life is a journey, not a destination."

Then, Constance began to disappear, "I love you my child, and just remember, see!" and then, she vanished.

Leora tried to think about what she had said, "See." She thought out loud. So, closing her eyes, she concentrated. Then, she opened her eyes and looked around. Suddenly, she saw something she hadn't noticed before. Right in front of her, at the other end of the cave, was a small hole leading to the outside. She could see the moonlight streaming in through the tiny window. Leora followed the light, watching her eyes drop all the way down, until it stopped.

And where it stopped, Leora understood. She looked ten feet in front of her at the pale moonlight circling her velvet purple sac. She ran towards it and opened it. She rummaged through it, and finally found it.

"The History of The Nine Kingdoms. Volume 6." Leora read out loud. She looked at the piece of red ribbon coming out from the side, where the mysterious page she had forgotten to read was marked. She slowly opened the book, licking her lips in anticipation. Then…

"What are you doing?" Aden said in a low booming voice that shook Leora all over.

"Suck an elf Aden! Why'd you have to sneak up on me like that?" She asked as he sat down next to her.

"Oh! The book! I completely forgot about it! Go ahead, read! What're you waiting for?"

"For you to die so I can celebrate!" She jokingly said. Aden sneered at her, then they read the page.

"I can't believe it! It's about the 6th Kingdom!" Leora gasped. The two looked and read what the page said:

The 6th Kingdom is ruled by Queen Rapunzel who along with the rest of the citizens, are

asleep under an unbreakable 100 year spell. This kingdom is surrounded by a giant thorn wall that along with spells, magic traps and puzzles keep out all but the cleverest traveler. Her great grand daughter, Princess Reena, is the prize to whoever saves this land and its people. To this day, no one has been clever enough to break the spell.

"Huff Puff! Do you know what this means, Aden?" Leora said looking eagerly into his eyes.

Aden looked around, confused, "No. And I really don't care! I mean, all I care about is you, me, and our amazing adventure lying ahead of us!"

"But you can't! Look what is says? The girl back at my castle was a phony! A fake! But, how? How did she manage to fool everyone?"

"Well, look!" Aden said pointing to another red ribbon to another page. Leora gulped and turned to the page. Both she and Aden read the entire four pieces of parchment that covered that section, and then, immediately, Leora screamed.

"Leviathan!"

In no time at all, she heard monstrous steps bouncing toward her. As soon as her fire dragon appeared, he bowed to her.

"What is it my dear?" He asked.

"I need your help! Aden, Have we been gone exactly two weeks?" She asked.

"Almost! It's only an hour until its been exactly two weeks my love!" He smiled at her.

Leora sighed, "Thanks. Levi, I need you something!"

"Anything for you Leora!"

She looked the beast up and down, not finding any physical answer, "Umm, can you fly?"

The fire dragon smiled, and boldly said, "Fly? Of course I can fly! Last dragon in all the nine kingdoms with wings!"

Leora and Aden watched as the dragon's back began to move; and out popped two great wide black wings.

"Ahh! Haven't stretched these in years!" He said with a smile. The two hopped onto his neck.

"Come on Levi! We have to save the kingdoms!"

"Alright! We're gonna save the kingdoms! Isn't this exciting Leora?" Aden said enthusiastically.

"Trust me, you'll get tired of it by the second time!" She said.

The dragon then blew a ball of fire hitting the stone walls. Then, from out of the cave, they burst into the sky, leaving the crumbling walls of the cave behind them.

Aden lifted his hands in the air and yelled, "I'm the king of the world!"

Leora turned around and glared at him. "What? Ever since I saw the movie I've always wanted to say it; now' my chance!" She rolled her eyes and laughed as they went off flying into the clouds.

"Can we stop? I'm starving!" Aden whined a while later.

"No! We have to stop it!" Leora yelled through the fierce winds.

"But it's been almost an hour!" He complained.

Leora's eyes bulged, "What?!?" She screamed turned to face him.

"Aye, it's true!" He said.

"Levi, how far are we from the 1st Kingdom?" She asked the dragon.

"I'm just now over the 9th Kingdom. Its right on top of the first! At my best we could get there in twenty minutes!"

"That's not fast enough! Aden, I need you!" She looked back at the wizard.

He looked at her curiously, "What do you mea- oh no! I'm not doing it! I'd be caught! And plus, I don't know if I can even carry this many with me!" he stated.

"Please Aden, you have to! The fate of all the kingdoms rests in your magical hands! It's sounds really corny saying it, but it's true!" Leora told him. She put her hand on his shoulder, and then, not believing it herself, leaned in, and kissed Aden on the cheek.

Turning red in a heartbeat, Aden exclaimed, "Alright! You convinced me! Hang onto your hats!" And he slowly stood up, trying to stay balanced on the moving dragon.

He closed his eyes and began speaking in his gibberish language. Leora held Aden's foot, and wrapped herself around Levi. She closed her eyes when she heard Aden scream. There was a bright flash, and they disappeared. Not a moment later, they reappeared on the clearing of a beautiful castle below.

"Levi! Land at once!" And with a bang, he planted his feet on the ground. "Distract the guards! They'll be on you in a matter of seconds! Aden, come with me!" And she took his hand and they ran into the bushes by the castle and waited.

Soon enough, all the guards came out and began to chase off Levi. The dragon took them away from the castle, and kept them from him by blowing fire. "Thanks Levi!" Leora whispered as she and Aden ran to the castle doors.

Inside, they looked around. No one was there. "Where is everyone? Where is the wedding?" She asked herself.

Aden then had an epiphany. "I know! We split up! I'll take this pathway, and you take that one!" As they came to a fork in the grand castle.

"Good idea! And if you find it, whistle!" And Leora began to walk off.

"Ey Leora! Ditto for you!" Aden smiled.

"I still can't believe you!" Leora shook her head. Then, they each turned and went off.

The wedding must've already started. She had to hurry. Leora soon found a staircase and ran up it. She made it to the top, and kept on running. All around her was white, the hallway was completely white. Leora thought it looked familiar, but she forgot it and kept running. Then, turning a corner, she stopped.

She whistled.

However, what she saw she couldn't believe. There, sitting right in front of her, was two double doors made of wood, with golden door handles.

"It's from my dream!" She whispered aloud. She stepped forward and looked at her reflection on the golden handles. Then, she thought of what her Fairy godmother had said, "Life is a journey, not a destination."

Leora pondered a minute, then said aloud, "I have had this dream for some time, but ultimately, it's my own choice whether I enter these doors or not. It's my choice…"

She looked at her reflection again, and then, made her choice.

Leora placed her hand on the golden handle, and pushed the doors open. Immediately, she looked up ahead of her and saw Princess Reena at the alter with Damien. They were on a balcony outside, holding hands, and Reena was smiling gleefully at Damien, who looked straight back at her. Then, the priest said, "I now pronounce you husband, and-"

"STOP!!!" Everyone, including the priest, looked straight back at Leora. Wendell and Tony looked at her with amazement; Wolf with relief; Virginia with shock; Reena with anger; and Damien, with astonishment.

Leora, looking nervously at the crowd of people, made her way up to the alter. She tried to remain confident, and thought of Constance to keep her brave.

"What are you doing ruining my wedding?!?" Princess Reena whined in a shriek.

"Well, I figured before Prince Damien makes the biggest mistake of his life, he and everyone here should listen to what I have to say!" Leora said pushing the complaining princess away form her.

"Aden, please come forward please!" Leora summoned. And there he was, Aden the wizard, coming down the aisle holding a very large book in his hands.

"Cripes!!!" Wolf said in excitement, "I completely forgot!"

"Forgot what?" Virginia asked.

But he only smiled at her, "Oh, you'll find out soon enough!"

Finally Aden stood a step down from Leora and opened the old book.

"What Aden is holding is the History of the Nine Kingdoms Volume 6 which discusses two very important topics which I'd like to share with you. First, the story of the 6th Kingdom, where our lovely Princess Reena is from! It says here that the entire Kingdom is under a sleeping spell and cannot be broken until someone defeats all obstacles and magically wakes everyone up! And, it clearly says Princess Reena would be the prize to whoever wakes her!

"But, of course you people already noticed that none of her family is even here!" Pointing to the right side of the room. It was filled with people, but everyone looked around, and there was no family.

"She's right!" Someone yelled.

But then Leora pointed out, "Oh, I'm not nearly finished! The reason that you all did not notice the history of Reena and her kingdom, is that she had placed you all under a spell!"

Aden then came in, "And that spell is called the Rethompetslive Spell! Now, this spell is a potion that the witch takes that causes everyone around her to love and adore her, having them do whatever she wishes! HOWEVER, this spell has one little tiny flaw! For some strange reason, it doesn't work on Werewolves!"

Everyone gasped. But Aden continued, "Now, this spell can be broken! But that is only when another magical person takes the magic away from the witch!"

"But why is the spell called the Rethompetslive Spell?" Virginia stood up and asked.

Leora smiled at her, "That is because that spell can only be used by the person who created it. And not only does that person use this spell, but also is able to possess anyone! That is, until the spell is broken!"

"But who is the witch?" Virginia asked again, smiling since she knew the answer.

Leora laughed, "Well, think about it! Does someone have a quill and some parchment?"

"I do!" Wendell said standing up holding them.

"Okay, write down the Rethompetslive Spell, the name I mean!" Leora ordered.

Wendell then took a book and wrote it down, "Now what?"

"Now, write the spell down backwards!"

Wendell did so, and then he gasped. He got out of his row and came straight up to the alter. He held up the paper that said, 'Rethompetslive Spell' and then he turned the paper over which said, 'evil stepmother spell.'

Everyone, again, gasped. Then, Aden took the princess by the arm and brought her in front of the crowd and Leora followed them, "This is no Princess! This is Queen Cinderella's evil stepmother from all those years ago! Her spirit has come back and possessed this girl and taken her body out from the 6th Kingdom. In reality, Princess Reena has been asleep the entire time!"

Then, Queen Cinderella stood up and came forward, "Are you trying to tell me that my evil stepmother possessed this innocent girl and tried to marry Damien so she could not only take the 1st and 6th Kingdom, but all ten?"

"Yes, your highness!" Leora nodded. Reena then glared at Leora, she couldn't take it anymore.

"AHH!!!" She charged Leora and jumped on top of her, punching her and pulling her hair, "You've ruined it! You've ruined everything!!! I would've been Queen! I would've married Prince Damien!!!"

"Not while I'm still around!" Leora growled with her eyes turning red. All at once she lifted Reena off of her and held her against a wall. Then, Aden came up next to Reena.

"Hi!" was all he said before he began chanting in the wizard language. It was the counter spell. Reena screamed in her defeat, and Leora let go and began to walk away as Aden kept chanting.

"That wasn't so hard-" But suddenly Reena ran back up to Leora and put a knife at her neck, "Stop chanting you scoundrel or I'll spill her dirty wolf blood all over you!"

Aden dropped the book and put his hands in the air, "Okay, sorry mam!"

"No! Let her go!" Wolf yelled as he, Virginia and Tony ran up to the evil stepmother.

"Don't take another step! I'll kill your precious princess if it's the last thing I ever-"

But just as she said that, a fist came flying at her cheek and knocked the knife out from her hand. She looked over and saw Damien standing there, looking completely raged.

"Damien! Darling, I love you! Don't be this-" But he punched her again, knocking her out cold.

Aden then again started to chant, and once he finished, he leaned over and kissed Reena on the lips. The kiss was the end of the counter spell that would suck the power from the evil stepmother. Then, the spirit of the stepmother flew out of the girls body and dissolved into nothingness.

However, when Aden pulled out from the kiss, he hadn't just broken the witch's spell, but he had broken the 6th Kingdoms spell. Reena, the real Princess Reena, woke up.

The young, blonde girl opened her eyes and looked around at everyone, "Where, where, where am I?" She asked Aden.

"You are in the 1st Kingdom your highness." He bowed in a nod at her.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I am Aden, Wizard of the 8th Kingdom!"

"Thank you Aden, I am eternally grateful for what you have done."

And everyone cheered. The 6th Kingdom's 100 year Sleeping Spell had ended, and the 1st Kingdom was again safe. Wolf took Virginia in his arms and kissed her sweetly. Wendell and Tony shook hands, and Aden helped Princess Reena up from the ground, not taking his eyes off of her.

Leora watched all of this far from the crowd, leaning on the edge of the balcony. She smiled as she watched everyone's happiness; she had saved the nine kingdoms, again.

"It's starting to get old isn't it? Saving these people over and over. I don't know about you, but I think we need a new adventure!" Damien said walking towards her, smiling.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"It's been a while."

"Yeah, my right eye's finally healed from when you last hit me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry! You were just under that spell, and you were kind of a jerk!"

"Yeah, well, I deserved it!"

"No, no you didn't. It would've happened to me too if I wasn't half wolf!"

He came closer to her and said, "Well I for one am bloody grateful that you are. Otherwise, we would be ruined!"

"Yeah, but, you helped too! You hit the evil witch!"

"That's right, I did. Man, I do have a good swing. I've been fighting for years you know, always been good at the sport! It seems only yesterday I was-"

"Damien?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up!" Leora smiled.

He smiled back. Then, he looked deeply into her green eyes with his deep blue ones, "Leora?"

"Yes Damien?"

"Was that the only reason you came here today? To save the kingdoms I mean?"

Leora put her hand on his and comforted him, "No Damien. I came for you as well."

"And why would that be?"

"I realized, no matter where I went or what I did, I've never been as happy as I've been with you. I guess I'll always be in love with you."

Damien sighed, "I guess I have the same problem myself." Then, they leaned in and tenderly kissed. Leora then jumped and wrapped herself around him and he held her tight.

Once they let go, Leora grinned at him, "Now, this feels right." And they kissed again.
