we're getting close to the end but not much we're on the 23rd chapter of the story but we're almost there we're just gonna make it through a few more chapters but we still have more great plots coming up. I hope you enjoy the rest and almost the end of this story.

I ran back to the house or the palace I should say, and ran past the guards. I asked where the queen was and they said she was locked up, why was she no longer fit to be queen when the guard said, and who was in charge, I asked Ralph Bart if he was now the new king of this place of Swan Lake no, that is not correct. It is Syndergaard. I had to execute my plan now I had to sneak past the guards and back to where ion was, but sneaking past them was not gonna be the easiest thing in the world.

Iran arrested her I heard a guard say I ran toward the dungeons where before I ran to where Ion was, and there's enough in the in one of the cells was, was Creo de Jane, or anything, but she was in prison because she refused to marry the king. My heart only belongs to Derek she said, as I walked into the room, not into her cell, but to where her bars were, oh Lily there you are I was worried about you. Where were you?

I was on Swan Lake I said, but I lost track of time. Never mind I didn't mean I know you probably know where I know why but never mind you won't be able to make another meal. The kitchen is overrun. I won't be able to make them there, but I will make it somewhere else. If I can only get behind the castle to where the ion is, that will be very difficult dear, how to wow for one you won't be able to get behind it maybe for safekeeping, I should take to be moved to the ion moved to Swan Lake that could work even though Rothbart knows where it is he will not bother Luther. Why why because he's not fatal to his plan completely only I am he still wants me as his queen but I refuse so he has me here. Don't worry I said, I'll figure out how to save all of us from Rothbart grass. Somehow I am the counterpart after all I have incredible power he might have the forbidden arts, but I have the power of time.

also, I had the power of dreams and found it as powerful or more than Rothbart. I said he had no power over me. I am a princess from another kingdom so he has no right to push me around. I have a plan. I have two plans, find ion and take it to Swan Lake and to free you and you live on ion with us Your Majesty that might work but I'm gonna have to bust you out first that ain't gonna be easy. Oh, there's a way I said how she asked. Trust me.

just let me figure this out for a moment I thought I sent there and thought then I took out a hairpin and picked the lock all right let's go. I think we got it. We just need to figure out either way out of this dungeon too bad I don't have my swan powers. I know that would've been a lot more helpful. Wouldn't it be wouldn't it say right? Oh, there's a door here all we have to do is just go out the door and back up to the castle. No not it leans out of the castle I can see outside it doesn't lead to where the eye is but it leads outside, so come on.

she followed me out the door, and we went and found the castle ion. It wasn't heavily guarded by any of the guards from the main castle, which is good I guess they were instructed to leave it alone when when of them was in power and I guess Rothbart was too afraid to get near it.

I ran up and knocked on the door onto the platform you can come on in. I heard Pora say I feel bad for our people to send Pora why I asked as I walked in this evil sorcerer Rothbart had taxed them. He doesn't know them and he's already destroying them even forbidding them from using their magic, running all of us from using our magic only what he calls the forbidden arts is allowed as magic in this place I ain't half of it I said and you had the queen with you and how did you get out? I picked the lock I said they're probably gonna come after us. They won't come near here they were instructed to Levi alone, well that's a good thing but what happened? Your great hero has been turned into a swan I said I don't believe you it's true debt they were. He was turned into a swan right before our own eyes.

and only the light of the moon can make him human I said, that's the only way to make him human again but the way to make him permanently human again is for me to make a vow of everlasting love I said that shouldn't be too hard said, but you already love him but it's not gonna be that easy. Rothbard is gonna make it more difficult for the ball now why?

he'll stop it from happening I said I know it'll keep us from making that vow we have to stay in front of the entire kingdom. Oh, said Pora that would be a problem, Lily it would be I just gotta figure out how to complete this and how to get Odette back in power there's gotta be a way right?

she's the right flare right she asked yes she is. I said but wow all we have to do is tell them that Dad is the rightful air right now and that she's trying to get her rifle onto the throne. He's in legitimate king, right? That makes sense so all we have to do is try to get him off that throne but how did you can't use your powers?

And neither can I'm not completely Alencia I'm native here so my powers could probably win against him. I had the power of dreams, and I had my counterpart's powers, but they weren't strong enough against the forbidden arts. No, but I could probably give it a try. I said I just need to figure this out but to do this we need to take ion far away like to the lake.

do you think we can fly it over there? I think we can I know it's using magic, but I think I can do this I can act in place of Luther Spot I said I am his counterpart Timecrest counterpart as in we know and you should be able to operate the place, and odd Riley are you ready, or at least one of you can help what about me? Ash asked right I forgot about you you and I are in charge cool OK we both get to save your brother this time. Yay, that will be exciting.

all right, let's fly to this place destination Swan Lake.

we arrived. It flew over the main castle, and it landed where we wanted it to near the lake. I walked out and I found him. He walked over awkwardly because it was morning. It wasn't night or sunset, or even moonrise yet I was the one who got to greet him first I didn't want everyone to see him in the state right now.

I can see you executed the plan more than you thought. I said I brought in here and nodded. Yes, I brought it here so that'll be out of the way of Rothbart's wrath. OK then I guess that's smart we don't want him to destroy the place, but I want his indestructible, right because I am indestructible.

I reached down the throat of his feathers. I'm sorry it's not your fault. He said I sat by the lake took my shoes off and put my feet in the water. I know it's cold. I said it is but I'm used to it because of my Web now. yes because you have webbed feet. I laughed as I looked down at them. Hey, he said don't laugh at my feet can't help it that's just funny. OK, then you can laugh I guess since you're being funny.

I will let it slide, so what's the plan for executing the first part of your plan? What's your next? I'm gonna have the other Olympians who are with us and ion to look at you. Others are scattered throughout the land. I still live in this kingdom some live in my old kingdom, I think Rothbart wants to take over both can't you still have ruling power there yes I know I know that but I might have your sibling take control of it. Why well no I was king or whatever as a ruler, noble of some kind that could work, and it could be a noble house, yes we need to start making plans right now get you human and that's the plan we need to make right now. I said we need to make a plan so that we can get you to turn back human the vow of every lasting love and the at the ball but if there's gonna be a ball, I have a big big I have to make another plan. I said a plan to get Odette back on her throne.

but how I never thought about how to get a monarch back on her throne I destroyed Volder so that there wouldn't be a monarch he said laughing I know I never thought of trying to get a queen back on her throne when I was throwing the king of Volder, but all right, then we have to defer another king but we cannot destroy right. We cannot destroy the kingdom of Swan Lake, so do you have an idea, the guards are mind-controlled by the forbidden arts. If we can figure out how to stop the forbidden arts that's the valve of everlasting love there's another way to turn you back, but to get him all thrown I mean he has his mind controlled by the guards and not our people but the guards if we can break that control then we can save everyone OK then how he asked to show that Odette is the true queen right now until you can become king you can't become king until after Odette gives you the throne right of course so we always have to do are we just need to figure out how to break the mind control, I said easy enough it should be, but I'm not sure how easy I don't know how easy it will be.

You're the one who's coming up with these plans he said and you've eaten all the food I give you you just gave it to me and I was starving. Of course you were I said.

From saving this kingdom to saving Swan Lake into saving you once again, to love to love, I said.

I feel calmer now that we have a plan in place a plan to save our kingdom. I love you Lily and I love you too.

I want in this chapter the chapters are getting shorter, but that doesn't mean they're getting worse. Look one is coming to a close and I have only a few more chapters left so I need to get as quickly done as possible all right see you in the next one.
