“We shall see” Cyra uttered. There was a scarce of fear in her voice. Even Andreas could tell the Gurland would be dead meat soon as the gems light got brighter.
“Your time has ended Gurland!” The high pitched voice of Cyras father came from behind her along with Dromanda by his side.
“It is your time that has ended Zardos.” He raised his hand in the air to cast a spell. But before he could get it done with. Cyra was very quick to blast him with a fire ball that sent him falling to the ground. Before he could understand what was going on, she summoned lighting from the sky and it stroked Gurland hard on the chest.
“Your reign of power is over Gurland and the throne shall be given to rightful person.” Andreas said when the light from the gem got brighter till the extent that a bit of it was on Gurland and the man was melting without him knowing.
“That is where you are wrong little Demon, I Gurland is immortal.” He laughed hysterically while laying on the ground. Andreas immediately sent a fireball at him. The man was on fire and laughing. His foolishness was real visible as he could not tell that he was burning.
“Think again Gurland!” Andreas said. The foolish man raised is hand up to see them fading away. He let a loud shrilling sound out at the sight.
“No no, the witches promise me that I
Won’t die. What is this?” He said which made Dromanda laugh hysterically.
“The witches lied to you Gurland!” Dromanda said. He laughed and so did Zardos as he watched Gurland fade away like color. It was beautiful sight to behold. The evil king was leaving and there was nothing he could do.
“Noooo!” Gurland yelled as he suddenly saw himself without a waist. He was slowly fading away. Even at the state he wasn’t going to back out, he immediately casted a spell with the last power he had. He channeled the spell at Andreas who was staring at gem glow. Cyra immediately saw that and instantly casted a spell that hit Gurland and Andreas as well.
“Hahahahahahaha!” Gurland laughed. The spell had done nothing to him as it was only a trick to get Andreas hurt. Cyra immediately turned her gaze to Andreas and he had turn to stone. She let a loud Yelp out. Gurland laughed as he continued fading away.
“I’m not the only one going back to God!” Gurland let out a shrilling sound before fading away completely. Yes, he was gone but the Andreas on the other hand was still stone. King Zardos and Dromanda immediately ran to see the condition of Andreas.
“Father, What has happened to him?” Cyra asked with tears in her eyes as she stared at her beloved.
“Gurland casted a Chanel spell. When you casted on Gurland it went to Andreas.” Her father said.
“How can I save him?” She asked. Tears streamed down her eyes at the sight of him looking helpless. He was smiling while staring at the gem.
“It’s only the ogre that cast the spell that can undo it.” Dromanda said sadly.
“There most certainly be another way out. Please father, you have to tell me. Please I have to save him.” She said. Fear was very evident in her voice as she stared at him. The thought of losing him made her leg ache to the core. She was in no way ready to let him go just like that.
“There’s only one way” Her father said with a very sad expression on his face. It was of no doubt that the only way which he would speak of will hold consequences.
“What way is that?” She asked.
“You have to erase his memory of you. Since it was with your help the Gurland was able to cast the spell, you have to take away the image of your from his heart. That is the only way to undo a Chanel spell.” Her father said. Her heart broke into thousand of pieces at his words. How could she make him forget her just like that. Thousands of thought ran through her mind. She took in a deep breath.
“Is that the only way out?” She asked her father and he nodded. She took a very deep breath and placed her hand on shoulder.
“Then so shall it be!” She uttered the words which held a weight on her lips. Oh, it was going to be hard to let him go just like that. “How shall I cast the spell that shall set him free?” She asked her father. He could see the pain in his daughters eyes and that hurt him beyond words. He could tell that she had already fallen for Andreas.
“Use your heart, magic works with the heart my dear. It shall break the stone spell.” Her father said whilst placing his hand on her shoulder.
“Okay.” She closed her eyes tight. “I am no body to you from today henceforth Andreas, you shall forget I ever existed.” She uttered. Tears streamed down her eyes as she moved back. Her father watched her and tears also fell from his eyes.
“You are free Andreas!” She said and the stone began to break off his body and he feel to the ground while Cyra teleported out of the mountain. Andreas on the other hand laid unconscious while king Gurland summoned the royal healer who appeared and disappeared with Andreas.

A MONTH LATER
She stared outside the window. She was thinking of a whole lot of things as the news of Andreas taking over Vantinza as the new Troll king filed the air.
“Are you just going to stand there all day long?. You do know we have to go and congratulate him as the princesses right?” Farima asked sadly. She placed her palm on Cyras shoulder.
“I don’t want to do this, I do not want to ever see his face again Farima. I love him to much to bear the fact that he would see me and hit talk to me nor hug me.” She said. Tears streamed down her eye as he thought about the times they had together when he fell in love with her. She remembered the kisses and could still feel them on her lips. Oh his touch, she missed that a lot. She missed a lot of thing about him from his arrogant nature down to his beautiful crystal blue eyes that had a way of rendering her breathless whenever she stared into them. Yes, she missed Andreas a lot.
“I know how hard it must be for you, but we have to go congratulate him.” Farima said.
“If she does not want to go then she shall not.” From the way the husky voice blared through the room. She knew it would be her father. Farima immediately bowed her her down in respect of the king of troll and the ruler of the mysticons.
“Father.” Cyra shifted her gaze to her father. He saw the sadness in his daughters eyes and felt weak to the knees at the sight of the cloud that had formed over his castle. Everyone in Dractica knew that the princess was sad due to the cloud.
“Cyra if you want to you can also wipe your memories of him my dear.” Her father said he words she dreaded the most in her life. She looked at him and then took in deep breath in other to control the burning anger that had formed in her chest.
“Father I shall not stand you speak you speak of this again. I have told you, I love Andreas and I shall not wipe his existence from my life. Please father, do not repeat this again.” She said harshly with tears cascading down her eyes. Farima took that as a cue to teleport back to her castle as she didn’t want to invade in the conversation.
“My daughter, I speak this with immense love for you in my heart. This is the only way I can think of helping you my dear Cyra. I do not like to see you in so much pain.” He said. She knew he had her beat of Interest at heart but she was not going to allow him tell her to forget about Andreas. That was something she would never be able to do. She loved him to much to even imagining breathing without him by her side. It was not easy for her to bare.
“I know you love me father. That is why I want to return to the human world, I want to return and be with Grandma, I want to forget about Andreas.” She said. Her father nodded calmly.
“If that is how you will be able to heal. Then who am I to stop you.” Her father said. All he waved at the moment was to see Cyra happy and even if it meant going to the human world. He wouldn’t mind.
“Thank you father, I shall return very soon. When my head is clear I shall be back, you do know I cannot leave without you now.” She chuckled. He smiled. He loved seeing his daughter happy and it meant everything to him to see her happy.
“I do know you love me. When do you plan on going to the human world?” He asked. It was not easy for him to speak about her leaving but he had no choice than to adhere to her decision as it would be if massive help to her.
“Tomorrow father,” She said and King Zardos nodded.
“May God be with you.” He hugged her calmly before breaking it.
“Amen father.” She said. He gave her a reassuring smile before teleporting out of her room. Cyra immediately casted a spell that brought Farima back on the bed.
Farima immediately dropped the food she had been eating on the floor. “You never get tired of doing this, do you?” Farima said. Cyra chuckle while slumping on the bed.
“Oh shut up missy. I’ve come to a decision by the way.” Cyra said. Farima chuckled.
“What decision is that?” Farima asked.
“I’m going to the human world.” Cyra said. Farima’s eyes went as large as saucers at the statement.
“You want to leave me?. You know you are now my only friend right?. I will never survive without you!” Farima said. Cyra picked a pillow and threw it at her. She laughed hysterically.
“I am coming back, it’s not like I’m dying or something.” Cyra said. Farima chuckled. If there was one thing Cyra was thankful of, it was finding Farima. Farima has been the best friend she could ask for.
“I’ll come visit you. I’ll have to learn a spell to make me look human by the way.”
Farima said. Cyra chuckled.
“I’m not going to stay in the human world for long. I just want to get my mind off Andreas.” She said. There was a thunder immediately his name left her lips. Farima sighed.
“Everything will be fine. Who knows, you
Might fall in love with a human back there.” Farima said and Cyra immediately there a pillow at her. The duo laughed at Farimas funny statement. Indeed she wish she could love again but that will clearly be impossible.
