The Invading Forces

After a year of being together Victoria has learned so many things about Kurtis and the place where he came from. The more Kurtis talks about Xylem the more eager Victoria has become, she really wanted to go to a place where she can use her abilities freely.

"So you're a prince, huh..?"

"I don't know if that is something to be proud about., but yeah unfortunately." says Kurtis while collecting some dried branches. Victoria uses dried branches to contained fire and use it to cook her meals.

"Unfortunate, that seems to be the complete opposite, I don't get it." Somehow Victoria knew something about prince, when she was a child her mother use to read a fairy tale book right before she goes to bed.

"if you think its about the wealth, the elegance, castles or clothing or food, well you know., I miss that.. but No, Its not about it."

"Then what it is about?"

"Its about the responsibility."

Even Kurtis is being a jerk sometimes, trying to be a comedian which is way far from his personality or telling jokes that's not even funny, Victoria still find him amusing in a way she can't explain.

She smiles whenever he's not looking, or far so that he wont notice and most especially when he is asleep, Victoria like his masculine but innocent and kind personality.

After two years...

The cute little house is now a two storey house.

Victoria was impressed and happy., She told Kurtis that she never felt this way before and no one treated her like a princess that she always dreamed of.

"Really? well maybe because you use blade instead of tiara."

"You're not funny.." Says Victoria and she turn around.

"Hey, I'm just kidding, a real princess is not just about tiara, its her about being kind, being brave and responsible... and.. beautiful like you."

Victoria didn't say a word because she just don't know what to say.

"Victoria, look at me., I know you're confused of who you really are, about you being different, but never try to put yourself down. Everything I just said, I mean it, In fact I never met anyone as beautiful as..."

He didn't have the chance to finish his words, Victoria is so near and he couldn't resist, its like electricity or magnet or something he couldn't control.

He kissed her...

and she kissed him back...

***

That was 4:00 in the afternoon but it was like evening already, maybe because they are in the middle of the forest.

Kurtis and Victoria created six torches out of spell, 2 at the back of the house and 4 in front.

So during night time it wasn't so dark at all, they would easily detect if there are intruders 10 to 20 meters away.

While Victoria is fixing the curtains, she saw Kurtis talking to that strange lady who she kept seeing before.

Its been years since she saw that strange lady again. She kept on appearing to her on her first month living in the forest. She looks scary even for a little woman. She's not dangerous but she don't talk, Victoria don't even know her name.

She hurriedly went outside and see how Kurtis could possibly communicate with her.

"Give me your hand." Says Kurtis.

Victoria didn't understand why? but she lend her hand anyway..

"Now let her touch you.."

Its seems that Kurtis know what he is doing and like he knew about that strange lady somehow.

When the strange little woman touch her hand, she was surprised, for the first time, she finally hear her voice.

"My name is Lima.." says the little woman but she still looks scary in a way.

"She's a Quantrum, she's here for a reason." Says Kurtis and yes he knew her kind.

"Wait, what?" Victoria is still confused and her head is still blank. She have zero idea about everything right now.

"They are related to fairies.., but she is more like a soldier, or sort of protector."

Kurtis suspect something, he sense something is coming., something dangerous.

"Why are you here?"

"Forgive me sire, but I'm only allowed to answer my masters question." says Lima as she bow her head to Victoria.

"You can answer his question." says Victoria.

"I'm here to protect your child, master Victoria."

And now its Kurtis turn, he was like stupefy.

9 months later...

Everything is all set, except for the herb named Thursai that Kurtis took by mistake.

"I told you purple plant, not plant that has purple flower." says Lima.

He must return to the cliff and take the real Thursai, it will help Victoria to heal faster after she gives birth.

Victoria was about to create a portal, but Kurtis stop her.

"Don't, you need your energy right now., You have no idea how fast I'am, don't worry I'll be back right before you know it." Says Kurtis as he kissed her forehead.

No one notice that the black lightning strikes while the three are busy preparing for the birth of the most powerful being.

Seven extraordinary strangers just enter Earth, although each of them are not equally the same but somehow they look similar as Kurtis, especially their gray skin, thick long hair and their nose and ear are also pointed.

Six of them went straight towards Victoria's house while one whose named Ederos, felt Kurtis presence and took a detour to see his old enemy.

Before Victoria decided to live alone, she once had a friend and her name is Roxanne, and she is a good witch, she taught her well especially when it comes to using spells.

In the name of her best friends death, she uses Roxanne's blood to protect her and her territory from intruders. No magic can destroy that everlasting bond between her and Roxanne, not even Dark Enchants.
