CHAPTER 13 - THE START

The Mythical Island is named Dwindle and Burgeon. What an interesting name isn't it? Interesting to hear and to look at. But this interesting island has a secret and no one has a clue about it.

"The chairs are labeled with your country name. Sit accordingly. Your rooms are also according to your countries, don't be careless," explained Sheldon.

"How about the countries with two representatives, like us?" Friean asked.

"Steph and I don't mind," answered Roi.

"I would love to share a room with Snow," David smirked.

Friean rolled her eyes.

"Of course," answered Sheldon, "You will have separate rooms. A room will serve as your training ground for two weeks."

"What do you mean training ground?" asked Snow with an annoyed face.

"Isn't it the reason why you came here, Miss beauty queen?" Meta asked with a sarcastic expression.

Doors opened and Lady Samson entered, "Too early to fight each other young ladies."

"Fight your face! I won't waste my preciousness here, Lady whatever!" answered Snow and she attempted to walk out the hall when she suddenly felt her feet stuck up and she can't move. She turned her head and saw Lady Samson staring at her and one of her brows are up as if she was trying to control something.

"David!" she shouted and David blocked Lady Samson's sight enabling Snow to move. She will now makes her move. She performed an enchantment to mesmerize Lady Samson with the charm of David.

Everyone saw that Lady Samson's expression changed. From the powerful and fearless face to a face that looks truely in love with David. She was making a step closer to David. Everyone believes that she is truly under Snow's spell when she grabbed David's neck and throw him on the side. She lifted Snow and put her to her designated chair.

"Enough for your playtime, Young Lady," she teased Snow.

"You are a witch! How could you do that?" Snow is indeed angry.

"Just like how you enchant other people with beauty. That's how I did it. Our difference is only that I have made mine more powerful, unlike you that looks like when you knew you have that, you have settled and never tried to enhance it."

"I did—"

"Shut your f*cking mouth! The reooms here will help you discover the things you haven't done yet. It has different spell books, tips books, on how you will able to see what thiongs aside from what you know, can be developed alone. You may learn how to cast spells, invent new things, upgrade yourselves, make things move, practice the things that you can't do in your nation," Lady Samson explained pointing all of them.

"Are we here to be soldiers for this island?" Rex asked while playing with his knife.

"If you want to, why not?" she looked at 'him and saw that Rex isn't joking, "Well, of course not. Our goal is to make the next generation of leaders to be more powerful than ever."

"And then what?" Ace intervened, "Honestly, I can clearly tell that your intentions are not for unity, aren't you scared that we may sabotage you?"

"I am more scared that hardheaded leader might dominate the next generation of rulers."

"But why do you have to do this? I can't see any reason why we, should fight one another for you to tell that we will the worst generation of leaders. Isn't this some kind of blackmailing for our parents to give you the control threatening them with our lives?" Hoax asked.

"Really? You think there's no reason for all of you to fight?" Lady Samson go near to Hoax, "Let me tell you a short story that happened recently. A Southern Man with a pet Anaconda was caught in Northwest," Meta instantly looked at her, "The said man was there hoping to find a medicinal flower that can only be found there. And it will be used for her daughter who suffers from poor eyesight."

"He doesn't said that!" according to Hoax.

"Because he was not given the chance to speak up! He was found dead in that forest together with the pet anaconda. And it was believed that the Prince did that."

Hoax suddenly shouted in pain. He can't move his body.

"What the hell is happening? Ahhhhh! Stop it its not a nice joke!"

"Do you think killing someone is a joke?" Meta was the one who is controlling Hoax.

"Why are you so mad? He doesn't even look like royalty, aaaaah!" Hoax is catching his breath.

"Yes he isn't. But my best friend is suffering now because we were looking for his father. We were waiting for him to come home. She was waiting there but no one eill eventually show up. How could you easily kill a person?" Meta shouted.

"He entered our teritory, okay? It is a protocol!"

Hoax cannot endure it anymore, Steph tried to calm Meta down by hugging her.

"Calm down, Meta. It was just a misunderstanding," he brushes her hair rying his best to make her at ease.

Meta cried out loud, "Nica was still waiting there. She was waiting there because she missed her father so much and she wants to see him before she got really blinded. I just killed her pet anaconda, she was leftt with nothing that can remind of her father. What would I do?"

"You killed her happiness too," it was Mave pointing at Meta, "How could you two kill a living easily? You are monsters."

They all ate not talking to each other except to Snow and David.

Tosh sniffed, "What was that smell?" he figured what is it, "Try not to breath on your nose. Hold your breath and try to move quickly as you can towards the door"

But they didn't succeed. They all fell asleep.

"Poor youngsters. Are these the future leaders? It will be do easy than I thought," said Lady Samson and laughed with Sheldon.

The gas disappeared and now eveything can be clearly seen.

"Bring all of them to their respective rooms," Sheldon told the room boys, "Don't you think we are being to harsh on handling them?"

Lady Samson was about to answer when the boys said, "We have sent all of the bodies on their respected room. But one room is still vacant."

"Maybe because I am still here," said the voice above the stairs.

"What are you doing there? Did you here everything?"

"What do you mean by everything?" he playfully asked, "Did I just heard something that I shouldn't?"
