“King Gurland was the one that killed your mother.” Cyra could not believe what Andreas had just conveyed to her. King Gurland was the reason her mother died.
“No, my mum died of cancer” She said.
“That is what you think. It was magic and King Zardos tried his best to stop him. The troll kingdom was aware of the death of Queen Isabella. It was magic!” He said. She placed her palm over her mouth.
“Oh my God. Why did he kill my mum?” She asked with tears cascading down her eyes.
“Your mother was a human, after birthing the chosen one she was gifted powers. Those powers could destroy an entire world. King Gurland was the strongest and he wanted to keep it that way, thus he used magic to kill your mother. That was the only way to keep the fear. He knew you were birthed but he could kill you because you were too strong. You are the chosen one” He said.
“I’m going to make him pay for depriving me of my mothers love. All this years, I’ve been suffering because of him. I have been craving for a mother all this years, it had not been easy for me.” She said. She was crying terribly.
“Calm down princess.” He said. He heard the sky roar. He became really scared immediately. Andreas knew what was about to happen. He immediately took few steps back.
“Princess you have to cool down.” Andreas yelled. She had already began transforming into a huge being. Princess Cyra head met the roof top and broke it. The whole of Dractica could see the onl princess standin taller the tallest of trees. The beings of the mystic world began to run as they saw this. They knew what it meant. King Zardos had already seen the clouds and ran to his daughters run but he was too late because she had already transformed. He immediately palmed his lips.
“What happened Andreas?” He asked Andreas who looked really terrified.
“She’s sad.” Andreas said. Cyra on the other hand didn’t understand what was going on. She just watched the city on Dractica sadly. She was at the verge of screaming but she controlled herself.
“What’s happening?” She said. Her voice Echoed through the lands. King Gurland was immediately alerted as he heard this. He knew there was trouble in the land.
“Cyra you have to calm down.” Her father said with both his palms covering his ears.
“Dad what’s happening, I want to come down.” She said.
“Just breath in calmly and thing about good things. You are not happy right now. Please calm down” Her father said. He watched as his daughters tears hit the ground. King Zardos had tears in his eyes by now when he saw his daughter in tears. It broke his heart terribly. He tried to move over to her and hugged her huge legs.
“Calm down my princess, it’ll all be okay. I promise, you can talk to me.” He fathers words soothed her hear and she immediately began going back to her normal formal until she reached the size her father could hug. He hugged her calmly. Andreas used that as a cue to disappear, and so he did. He left that scene and left the father and daughter.
“My mother was killed?!” She asked and King Zardos nodded calmly. The crying began all over again.
“I did not want to let you know. That was why I banished the ogres from the land. They made used of witch magic to make your mother sick.” King zardos said.
“I’ll make him pay!” Cyra said. Her father could feel her pain. It was what he felt when Isabella died. It was a very bad feeling that he couldn’t explain. Losing Isabella was something that made him feel as though the world would end.
“Why did my mother have to die?” She sill said. King zardos sniffed and hugged her calmly.
“You have to try and forget about all this. Now you have to save Dractica. Many lives will be also lost if you do not help us.” Please you have to help your father.” King zardos said pleadingly.
“I promise you dad everything will be good. I’ll save Dractica. I’ll save my people.” She said. Her father couldn’t express the joy he felt when she called the people of Dractica hers. He knew salvation had found them from the very day his daughter was the chosen one.
“Now we better this roof fixed!” Her father said. He snapped his finger and the roof immediately came back to normal. She smiled.
“Dad I have a gift for you.” Cyra said. She waved her hand in the air a little and a picture of her mother and her appeared in her palms.
“I had this picture. But Isabella took it with her the day she was leaving Dractica.” He said.
“Why did she ever leave though?” She asked.
“Her powers were to strong and they could destroy her if she remained here. The best thing we could do was to let her go. It wasn’t easy for me to watch her walk out of Dractica. I felt like I’m would die. It was a near death experience for me” Her father chuckled.
“You have me now! And I’m glad I found you.” She held his arm. Her father let the tears cascade down his eyes as he saw the face of his beloved late wife on his daughter. He couldn’t feel happier knowing that at least he had her.
“I love you Cyra, I’m glad you are here now.” Her father pecked her palms. She then hugged him tightly.
“May God bless you father” she said. Her father looked at her calmly before getting up with a smile spreading wide across his face.
“May you be bless as well my dear Cyra.” Her father said before smiling happily and disappearing. Cyra could not feel more happier having him in her life. It was a nice feeling and she couldn’t wish for more.
