BETHANY POV
After letting out my mind on them, I went out from there. I didn't know where to go. Now I can't go to Master. If he finds out what happened, he will kill me for sure. I went to the mountain to get some fresh air. By the time I arrived there, there was a lady at the peak. I got closer to her, right then, she turned around to face me. It was the lady fortune-teller. "Hello, darling! How have you been?" she asked me. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "Calm down, darling. I have brought you some news about your friends. Want to know?" "What is that?" I asked while I moved a little closer to her. "In exchange, you should tell me about your Master. If you will, then I'm willing to. What do you say?" she asked while moved to the other side. "I can't do that! How did you think I will betray my Master? In exchange, I will give you these rubies." She looked at them and looked up at me. "If you think I'm stupid that know nothing about these rubies, aren't you are the one?" she smirked. "I know these rubies can kill me. Don't try to fool me, little girl! I'm giving you the information. You should do the same." I tried to compensate her. But she didn't give in. I gave up and accepted the deal. "Well, your friends have decided to find their past and stop this incarnation. Covington is leaving tomorrow for the kingdom." My heart stopped when she said that. "Covington leaving for the kingdom? How did he know about that?" I asked her. "Alexia told him about that. He believes he can find something when he goes there." She stopped talking and, it took me a moment to process everything. My thoughts were interrupted when she spoke, "Tell me about the Master. Where can I meet him? How does he look? Does he have any special powers?" I glared at her. "You can meet him at the valley. He looks the same as before. He doesn't have any unique powers. His magic ability is still with him. That's all I know. I'm leaving and, thanks for the information." I said and left the place.
COVINGTON POV
Lexi, Sam, and I went straight to the harbor after the sun rose. Alexia led the way to a helmsman. "Good morning Alexia!" he greeted her warmly. Lexi explained to him where I'm going and, he agreed to take me there. Sam and Lexi left before the ship's departure. "Can you please wait a few minutes? I'll be back soon." He left the place as I said okay to him. Soon another man came. He looked in his late 20s. "Shall we go now?" he asked me. "Where is that helmsman? Who are you?" I asked him. "He is my dad. I have told him about leaving for the kingdom. He came to me and said a passenger is going to the place. So I came to take you there. Will you come with me now?" He asked, while his lips curved into a smile. I nodded and, board the ship. The ship departed, and I stayed close to the helmsman. While we were in the middle of the sea, I saw a boat without anyone on it. I felt utterly terrified. The boat sped up, and it went past me. "What did even happened? That thing went past me! Is this even exist!" The helmsman turned around and looked at me. "Calm down, Mr.Godwin! It's something we should expect here. Don't you know about this?" I shooked my head and said, "Lexi didn't tell me about this. What is that?" He went back to the steering and said, "It's a small pirate's boat. The pirate died in the heavy wind. He doesn't disturb anyone. We can see the lifeboat, even the man. But he can't. Most importantly, he won't harm us. So, you don't have to worry about anything." I felt relieved. After a few hours of traveling, I had a feeling that we reached the place. But I see nothing. The helmsman released the anchor. "Are we here?" I asked him. He nodded. "Wait a minute." He went to the corner of the boat and took something out of his pocket. It looked like some powder. He sprinkled some of it in the air, and the miracle happened. A big fort rose in front of me. After a few moments, the fort's door opened and, many soldiers came. I couldn't believe my eyes. In the middle of the ocean, a kingdom has been under the sea. "This kingdom is not under the sea! It is just unexposed. The King has his reasons for it. Don't misunderstand anything." he said. I understood and was confused at the same time. The soldiers showed us the way to the King without asking us anything. But then, I was confused again. "Hey, I didn't come here to meet the King. I want to know some information about something." I said to one of the soldiers. He turned around while bought his spear near me and said, "keep quiet! Our King is on his way. Whatever you want to say, wait until he comes. Until then, keep your mouth closed. If you disrespect our King, you will have to impose the penalty." He said, and I closed my mouth, determined not to say anything. Soon the King entered the assembly hall.
I bowed to the King. But the King stood up and said, "Why are you hunching towards me? If you are here, perhaps, did you remembered everything? Are you here to take care of the responsibilities?" I stood there without saying a word. The helmsman shook me and, I got back to reality. I looked up at the King and said, "I'm sorry. Can we have a private talk?" He nodded and came down towards me. Everyone in the hall was shocked as the King puts his arm around me, even myself. "What are you all looking at? Today, someone I knew came home after a long time. I'm going to have a good day with him. Everyone can go back to your perspective work. If you need to talk to me or have something to inform me about, come tomorrow. Now leave!" With that, everyone in the hall went back. Even the helmsman went out with the soldiers. I didn't know what to say, just followed the King. When I entered a room, there was a complete collection of weapons. "These are not collections! These are war weapons." I look up at him, surprised. But I didn't say anything and just looked around. While looking at them, I saw a bow and arch hanging in the wall. Then,...
