Knowledge

Uncle and I decided to let Zelda be where she is. I respected her for standing up to Reina. She was cruel to everyone and I wasn't surprised when she explained that she was affected by Reina. We walked outside to the crisp air again. The air that was pulling me had disappeared. I shrugged it off and looked to Uncle for help. He sighed and decided I must know of the four realms. Actually, there were five but Reina's castle counts as one.

"There are four kingdoms: Shaman's Keep, Elsief's Realm, the Assassination Alliance, and the Forest," he explained.

"Explain them, please," I asked.

"Shaman's Keep protects those with magic abilities and is the biggest infirmary in the land. It will tend to those who have fought heavy battles," he said.

"I will fight a heavy battle," I admitted.

"King Shaman is a powerful wizard who you need to persuade. You need him on our side. Once you show him your skills, he will be of great help," he told me.

"I'll show him. Do you think he'll be wanting to help? What does he have against Reina?" I wanted to know.

"Shaman has everything against Reina. Death watched his son die in the fight between him and Reina. He wanted to avenge his son ever since, yet he stayed away from her," he closed.

"That's terrible! I'll definitely keep that in mind. What about Elsief?" my voice dropped low.

"Elsief's Realm holds the powerful and wise Elsief herself. She is like the High Queen of the land," I interrupted.

"Reina's the High Queen of the land," I caught his words.

"Excuse me, Good High Queen of the land," he corrected himself. "She holds good morals and is the exact opposite of Reina. You must show her that you are courageous and not afraid of anything, especially Reina. She will fight alongside with you," he closed.

"And the Alliance?" I interjected.

"The Alliance holds the power of sneaking and secrecy. They will be a good ally because they can be used for better morals. Prince Adair has neutral ideas towards the fight between good and evil. He fights for whatever holds good reasoning. If Reina gets to him first, we have more trouble on our hands," he got me scared.

"So they could become my friends or my enemies?" I inquired.

He nodded and sighed in a "breaking news" way. I nodded my head as well and sighed. All of these people hated Reina. What if they hate me too? If I told them who I was, they would kick me out, fight me, or even worse, kill me. I would still be protected by Uncle or even my powers. The Last Deity can protect herself. Uncle interrupted my thoughts.

"Lastly, there's the Forest," his voice descended. "It's obviously home to all nature. It can be a place where the darkness ends and the light begins," he stated the obvious.

"I know that," I pouted.

"What you don't know is the story behind it. See Alik is the leader and defender of the Forest. He holds many powers and ties with the rivers, tress, and animals," I cut in again.

"There's a leader of the Forest? I thought there was only a deserted place," I wondered aloud.

"He is a fragile man and won't stand for any intruders or war in his forest. His nymph followers are immortal and peaceful. You should ask him for assistance. He and his followers want their other half of the forest back. Reina keeps pushing them back farther until they will have nothing. You must promise them the forest back," he closed again.

"I promise," I hurried to say.

He smiled at me and then lead the way. I wanted to ask where we were going but he seemed annoyed. He seemed to know much more about this than I do. Why was I chosen to be the Deity? I haven't been outside in more than a decade. I don't know anyone other than my mother and Uncle. Why should I have to complete this task?

"It's because you're innocent, Ofelia," like he answered my thoughts.

"Did I...say that out loud?" I was embarrassed.

"Yes," he laughed. "Don't be worried," he assured me.

"I might be innocent but I'm not intelligent," I argued back.

He laughed aloud instead and didn't answer. I moved a strand of hair back with a single puff of air. The sun was rising just a little bit. We couldn't have been out that long. I didn't know what time it was anyways. All I know is that I was stuck underground for some time. Maybe I shouldn't have gone down there for so long. Reina is probably looking for me. It's dangerous to even be in the forest, trapped off of the trees. I shuddered at the thought and stopped my daydreaming. I almost bumped into Uncle. He was definitely perturbed about me being clumsy.

Uncle asked me to lead the way for a little while. I didn't know why but I went along with it. In just a few moments, I saw light up ahead. It wasn't just a beam of light. It was like a line just divided the entire forest from light and dark. I approached the line cautiously. I looked up at the sky to see if it was even daytime. It was still dark but every breathing piece of life sparkled. My heart was racing at the peaceful moment.

"It's the line that divides Reina and Alik's half," he enlightened me.

"I can see that. The other side must be magical," I stated.

"You may go first," he suggested.

I nodded and gently stuck my hand out into the light. I wasn't afraid of the light but just interested. Suddenly, my sleeve changed into white. I gasped and pulled it back in. The color changed to black in an instant. My clothes were changing colors? I put it back in, just for another time. It turned white again. I fully stepped onto the other side. My whole dress was white. What other interesting things did Death equip me with? I smiled at my new look. Uncle smiled on the other side.

"This is completely magical," I said.

"Glows white in the day. Camouflages black in the night," he explained.

"What about you?" I mentioned his attire.

He shrugged and stepped onto the other side as well. Nothing seemed to change. A look of disappointment, and possibly anger, rushed over his face. I giggled a bit and patted his shoulder. He shrugged it off and led me to where the nymphs sit peacefully.
