?'s POV

"What do you mean you don't know where the necklace went?! You guys were the only ones there!" I yelled at Oct who's right on trial.

"Oh , seems like someone doesn't have their eyes opened wide. Listen , I'm so not into the stupid necklace , so why don't you for someone else who are more interested with magic glitter stuff? Someone like.... You get what I meant." I looked at her furiously until a thought shocked into my mind.

"Serious? Hiro. You can't be suspecting them , could you?" I looked at Nákaa who had her leg crossed on her throne. "They're the only ones around the dimensions who had high interest on magic. Who else would we suspect?"

"Anyway , where's that Cervy? She had been disappeared since the day we cane back from the first day of summer." "You know her name was Cervidae." I said with a bit of annoyed  since it ain't the first time this happened.

"Are you offending for her?! Wait until I told Petal about this!" I immediately stopped her with my staff which make her tripped and fall. "Ugh , you gotta be joking." I looked away from the Chief of Chaotic and Patrol. Ugh , I can't just get them right after the fusion!

"Sir Hiroshin , Countess Nákaa , we had some bad and good news." "*sigh* Speak. What could be better than some goodies this moment...." The guard shut the door and approached towards us. "Bad news is , we have the suspect who have might stole Queen Petalyze's necklace,  which was unfortunately on one of the dimensions." I groaned and fell onto the carpeted ground.

"Dude , why with the long face? And there's no need for felling to the ground." I got up but sat on the ground , looking at Nákaa high up. "Do you actually listen to him? Dimensions , Kaa! We have tons of them! There's no way we can made it before our damn alarm wakes us!"

"*sigh* Don't care the stupid monkey, what's the good news?" "Well! The good news is we let Queen Petalyze out from the chains and she got into one of the dimension! Now , we know the exact dimension!" I looked at the soldier who soon turned a face full of guilt when he saw my face changed.

"Yeah , I know the fact that it's a actually a bad news..." "Yeah , and you lied to us! You'll be facing trial after this. Guards! Take him to the 10th floor of hell!" While the guards were dragging the soldier away from the throne room , Nákaa got off from her throne and pulled me up.

"Cheer up monkey boy. Her thoughts would be clearer than before after the moment we get to fuse her with Peralyze." I sighed and looked out the window. "Maybe...that's our only option...." Right I had this thought in the head , a huge alarm noise echoed in my head.

"Seriously?! Right now?!" I yelled full of annoyed as my body turned to dark red particles and flowed into the Premier Portal.

Ava's POV

"What? The Kin- I mean- Your father wants to see me?" I looked at Asch who's right now standing in front of my room's door.

"Yeah , he said....he had a change of mind and he wants to see you right now." I looked at Asch's seriousness and going to trust him by now.

Right when I reached the throne room , I found none of the members of the High Council were attended to this meet , just Asch , me and his father.

"Yes? Your majesty?" I barely have the courage to look into his eyes. "Get your tense down , Lady Ava. I'm call you here to have a talk about the topic you suggested a sun ago." This is really happening...

"Tell me , what do you know about magic?" "Well , there are different types of magic , which was-" I hot interrupted by Asch's father who held his palm up. "What I meant was that , what do you think of the benefits of magic?" I scratched my neck and thought for a second.

"Well....Our life were actually easier with magic..." "Precisely." I looked at his majesty with a questioning face. "Magic was the source of our lives , our lives were more simple than usual. Our ancestors found and built this place , just to keep the magic away from other kingdoms."

"But-" "I'm not done yet , " He said while shutting my mouth up , "And indeed we had the magic crisis , but we have a thought of attacking Ream , claim it as ours! Then our legacy will sure be endure!"

I freaked and I stood up as I heard whatever Asch's father said. Claim Ream? Taking their magic?! "You can't do that!" "And why is that? Lady Ava?" "C-Ca-Cause-" I stuttered as I can't fight back from the terror of his majesty. "Listen , if you want to be with my son , you have be on the same line. No 'We'll survive without magic' nonsense. Got it?"

"But I read that they're more nations out there who were surviving without-" "Don't talk to me with books , Lady Ava!" "Well I am!" ,  I pulled my arm away from Asch's grip , who's trying to stop me from arguing with his father , "What I see was that you had a rely on magic!" "How dare you speak to me in suc-"

As he was about to make that echo again , a monster busted into the throne room by breaking down the metal door. It has dark purple eyes and same colour tentacles. It's right now approaching to us in its skinny thin foot.

"There you are,thief. Now , give me back by necklace before I regret whatever I'm going to do." It said to me in a deep shallow tone as one of its tentacles moved towards me. "Get away from me!" I said while pushed her away and ran out the throne room.

"Get back here!" The monster yelled as it chased after me by crawling above the ceiling. "You can't run away forever!" It yelled as it landed right in front of me , blocking my way through. I immediately summoned vines and tangled it up , getting ny chance to rush out of the castle.

"Where are you~" It called out my name while I was panicking behind a trunk. "I know you're somewhere~ Come on out~" The voice was giving me shivers down my spine , more anxious of being found by her. Wait , if she wants the necklace- That's mean- Is she-

"Ava. Ava , " I looked around carefully as soon as I heard a voice , "Your left. Ava." I turned to my left and found Noi was hiding by a bush. "What are you doing here?! You'll sure be caught!" "Listen, leave the work to me. I'll get it done!" "Are you telling me that you're trying to kill it?!" , I whispered yelled back to him , "I couldn't even get it down , not to mention you-"

"Well it's the only wa-""Ah ha! I found you!" I freaked out as the voice yelled behind my ear. I was trying to escape but instead got tangled up by it tentacles. "Now I shall have this back." It said as its tentacles reached towards the necklace. "Never!" I yelled as I formed lava in my grip and cause the monster had some burnt issues. The monster yelled in pain and rushed towards me.

"H-How in the world are you able to use it?! If you're not a Deam or Ream?!" I looked at the monster with widen eyes and quickly form a magma wall and pushed the monster backwards.

A Ream or Deam citizen?! That's ridiculous!

"Come here you-!" It jumped through the wall and threw me right next to the cliff as one of tentacles tangled my leg without me noticing.

"Ava!" "Ava?" "Noi! Get out of here! It's not safe here!" I groaned from pain until I saw the portal where Ander first went into. "I'm not leaving you here!" Noi yelled while running towards the monster. "Ugh , pathetic creatures." The monster pushed Noi by his forehead , caused him to fell onto the ground.

Noi's POV

Watching the monster walked towards Ava , seems like it's going to push Ava down from the cliff. I tried getting up but a huge pain swallowed my energy. "Don't touch her!" I threw one of my daggers and it landed by its feet. It turned to me and ran towards me. "Noi! Run!" Ava yelled out loud. I tried but I failed to...I closed my eyes , facing my death....

"Hey Noi , why didn't you invite tme o the fun in the first place?" I found myself got lifted up from the ground by the arm and a shield covering us up.

"Leif? What are you-" "Asch told us Ava's in trouble. But we couldn't find you and what is that?" The sudden appearance of Rhys and the others had freaked me out. They could've blame me for this not directed mission. "We know this isn't something you should do. But thanks to you , Ava was at least protected by someone." I sighed of relief for being spared.

"The monster was seems to be from Ream , we had to get it back." "I have no idea of any portal spell to Ream! I haven't learnt them yet!" We all sighed for Rhys who's also helpless about this.

"Maybe Ava knows since she went there once." "What are we going to do? We can't just throw spells at him since he's a total magic proof monster." "I'll take that as a compliment." We all looked up and found the monster looking at us with a wide opened hope of the shield.

"How did it- I thought that's unbreakable!" Rhys groaned for annoyed. "You should better work on those stupid spells with Cervidae. These are so easy class spells. Now , which one of you called me a man?" The monster suddenly changed his tone which gave us some chills.

"Hey Monster! I have something shiny for ya!" We all looked at Ava who waved her arm with Petalyze's necklace in her grip , making the monster who seem to have the lust of shiny objects rushed towards her.

For our shocked,  Ava jumped down from the cliff and the monster followed it as well. "Ava!" I yelled while holding my pain. We all rushed to the cliff side as Rhys make the shield disappear.

No sign of Ava...or the monster....

Not again....I thought as I collapsed onto the ground and until I heard a voice..."Em...Guys? Are you enough crying now?" We all looked down and found Ava resting herself on a rock floor that was sticked out from the cliff.

"Ava! You're alive!""Heck yes , I am." She said while ascending the stone onto the top. I hugged her tightly , ignoring my pain. "Asch. I want to have a talk with you. About what your father meant." She said after letting me go from the hug.

Asch's POV

"Ava , what my father mean was-""He wants to declare a war between Ream and Daemos. Isn't he?" I only looked to my foot , feeling guilty for lying to her about the truth.

"Look , is not that I disagree with you father , it's just...*sigh* Isn't there another way than war?" "Well , we do have alliance before but-""That's forever ago." Pierce continued Rhys's sentence.

Ava looked down to the ground and looked back to us with her angry face. "Look , I'm still sticking to my plan , where this war was completely useless and the fact that we could live without magic. I mean , look at Noi! He's still standing here! And don't get why Daemos had such rely onto magic!" She yelled and walked away from us.

"Still lying to her?" I looked at Rhys who's pushing his glaoses. "I know. Ava was just a peacemaker. She hates war from the fact. And the fact she was once a human..." "Yes."

"What are we going to do now?" "Whatever it takes , we still need to uncover her identity. I'm suppose that they'll be more Reams to regain their queen's power from Ava. So , she must to be keep an eye on. Any questions?" My knights shook their heads and we went back to our places.

?'s POV

Well.... So he took a step close to get those stuff back. I thought while stroking my chin and yawning at the mean time.

Seems she definitely gonna be chaos on the perfect timing. I thought while yawning again.

Ugh , this change of time was literally killing my naps!!!! Everything I have to sleep then something big happen! And everything nothing happen , I have to be set on duty! Geez!

I kept mumbling while walking to get myself back on duty.

So....this is kind of stumped cause I'm quite lazy these days but my rule on Wattpad was a book a day so yeah...gotta head to sleep!
