The Quest (Girl X Girl)

Chapter 13

Ahri P.O.V

I am trapped within the valley of shadows. I am nothing but a tool for the devils' work. My father is out there searching for me, but all his efforts in vain. I am trapped beyond gods and the elders reach. They probably can guess where I am but they can't come into it, but I am an exception. Why? That's because I am not just an ordinary goddess. Naturally, at the age of 20, we have this coming of age ceremony where gods and goddess or half-gods or goddess or half human etc. Comes in and perform where we drink the blood of our ancestors, or the ones who gave birth to us, or any goddess or elder bloodline, but never the human it was said that if we drink the blood of human we will become demons, That's how demons were born. When I reached the age of 20 I drank my father's blood and the rarest thing happen after my sister. I felt powerful after drinking the blood of an elder, my father. I could sense the magic running within me just as the breeze was blowing into me.

It was amazing when I received the power. I was flying into the air and I created many things on the very same day. My father was smiling gladly as I inherited the power from his blood. I remembered my father words loud and clear, "So, by now you must be knowing what powers you possess right?"

"Yes," I said. I flew in the air, "Magic." As the sun came up into the sky, it reflected my hair blonde with a hint of gold. I felt powerful at the same time I was drawing energy from nature in order to perform a miracle in front of the gatherings. All the crowds were in awe but then something radiant happened. I saw a country formed out of my own imagination, Syreen. My father was surprised claiming me that I was a goddess and elder at the same time. This is the very reason why I was able to enter The Valley of Shadows. I was one of the nature loopholes, a mixed blood, a hybrid of an elder and goddess.

Since I was different, my powers are different from the rest. As a result of which I was able to enter the forest without my powers being absorbed away. Series of event took place and somehow I got trapped here. My imprisonment made that raven master that allows this forest to reflect my own illusions. The master of this raven is a mysterious man, and I need to find out more about him. I will put an end to his life if I succeed in this mission. I won’t let my life end here. I am the light to the world and I am going to shine brighter. With my brightness, I am going to put an end to the darkness. Just like the night trying to eat up the moon and its moonlight, the demons are plotting the same. They don't realize that the darkness will overpower them without a ray of light. This elder is trying to awaken Laura’s power of darkness and try to suck my light powers dry.

I won’t let them get their way. I made a promise to my sister, Alyssa, before she was sealed away by the humans. She told me how she fell in love with a human boy named Daniel Niklaus, and was able to regain her old self. She came to me happily narrating stories about this human. However, she did fear that if she were to lose him, her old self will overtake her. She will become more furious and the monster within her will awaken once more. If the world was coming to an end because of her, I had to end her. It was a promise, and it was for the safety of the world.

Laura P.O.V

Finally, I arrived. The place was just amazing and I found the spot to open the portal to enter The Valley of Shadows. Anyhow, there was a boy sleeping underneath the shadows of the trees. He was good-looking wearing a low V neck black shirt revealing his slight tanned muscular skin. He was the hot type, his hair was soft and messy. I wanted to feel his hair brush against my skin. I wanted to feel him. As my hands took a life of its own I touched his black hair sitting down going near him, but came to slowly come to a realization. I wanted to leave, but the boy grabbed my hands pulling me as he opens his eyes as clear as the blue water. He winced in pain and called me Alyssa. I began to panic and started to call him awake but before I could even get his name I began to call him a name I never thought I would use, “Daniel!”

I tried to shook him awake, but he wouldn’t. I wanted to think that he may have just fallen asleep, but I knew deep down in my heart that he wasn’t. He was hurt. I didn’t know what I could do to help, but I kept shaking him hoping he will wake up. My heart was trembling, my hands were shaking. I was afraid. I didn't know who he was. But I felt like I had known him for a really long time. I screamed for help and at last, someone showed up. I knew her.

"Laura," Cassandra spoke. "What are you doing here?"

"No time for talking. Please, you got to help him. Please help Daniel."

"Who is Daniel-," she spoke as she looked behind me and rushed past me to the boy.

“Big brother!” she yelled. She took my hand into hers and pulled her brother onto her chest before I knew what was happening. We were transported to a castle. And I knew it was hers. This was her home. A wave of relief poured into me knowing that he was in his home. I was going to help him for some reason. Images of him started to play in my head. It was a weird experience and added memories that I didn’t know where to place inside my head. I knew the boy was going to be fine, but strangely another mark grew burning into my arms. I seethed at the torturous pain. Cassandra took notice of me. She called the guards to carry me into a room. As the woman in white injected something into my skin. I saw darkness and voices calling me to sleep.
