New world

King Olive and queen Analse watched in awe as the seer performed all sort of magic, Celine seem bold. She was prepared for anything that happens. At last, she was going to a new world. She felt relieved.

She never knew other worlds exist other than the one she lives in. She sigh deeply, she might not come back here. She will just send Dior back and remained there, that would be better.

She thought about the past few days, since Dior disappeared. Everyone in the kingdom has been talking about her disappearance. They want her back, especially her parents.

She imagined herself disappeared instead of her sister, no one would talked about it. No one would want her back, she sigh again and looked at the seer. He should hurry up, why is he taking time.

Her mind swayed to her discussion with her mother the previous day. She curled her lips, they have never discussed like that before. For the first time in her life, her mother worried about her safety. She worried about her life. Does situation change creatures so easily?

She wondered how it happened. Maybe, it's because Dior is involved in this. After all, they are eager to see her now. She remembered what her mother said in a flash, it rang in her head immediately. If she was to chose, what will she go for?

Will she accepts the monster prince or go after her sister. Of course, the latter won. She needs to set things right first, she can't run from what she has done. But, marrying the monster sends shivers down her spine.

She sigh again, of course she will marry him. She don't want war in her kingdom, she will bring Dior back and marry the monster prince. She has to set everything right, she caused it anyway.

But, why did mother told me that in a toxic situation? Must she say it? She thought as her mind wondered away.

"Mother, why are you scared? I thought you are angry with me, you should punish me for my sins. Dior is missing, all thanks to me. I even disobeyed father's rules. I need to be punished mother, stop worrying about me instead. It makes me hates myself." Celine said.

Queen Analse sigh deeply. They were discussing in her mother's room, this is the second time she's entering that room. She never goes there, unlike her sister who enters everyday.

She wished to be punished. But, unknown to her more mysteries awaits her somewhere.

"Child, punishing you won't solve the problem. It will just worsen the situation." Queen Analse replied.

"Then, how will I solve it?" Celine queried. She will do anything to avoid war against her kingdom.

"The seer will be here soon, we need to find your sister so you can go to her. It will be safe for you than being here." Queen Analse explained.

"Mother, what do you mean by that? I'm only going there to bring her back and that won't be long." Celine said, confused. She felt bad. She could have listened to Julia.

"No child, you will stay there for a while till your father clears the misunderstanding." Queen Analse said. Celine scuffed, since when did they start caring about her.

"Misunderstanding? Which misunderstanding?" Celine inquired. She wants to do it herself. She won't need their help.

"We had a misunderstanding with Whale kingdom, that's why your father restricted everyone from going there." Queen Analse replied. She hoped her daughter understands.

"That means, I just caused more troubles for us." Celine replied and scuffed.

"Who could know I will go this far?" She murmured and curled her lips.

"What did you say?" Queen Analse queried.

"Nothing." Celine replied and smiled.

"I was just wondering what will happen to me soon." She added.

"Nothing child. We won't allow anything happen to you." Queen Analse reassured. She hoped nothing really happened.

"I'm still surprised how you changed towards me." Celine blurted out.

"Changed? What change? Did I changed?" Queen Analse asked. She wonder what she meant by that.

"Something like that." Celine replied. She don't want to talk about it now.

"I don't understand you. What's wrong?" Queen Analse asked.

"Nothing. Just wondering when I will understand you. Anyway, that's not important now." Celine said.

Queen Analse was surprised, what is wrong with her child? Understand her? How? Don't she understands her mother? Is she harbouring something in her mind? She...

But mother, what will they do to me?" Celine asked, interrupting her thoughts. She want to know her punishment before positioning herself to face it.

"Only monsters, demons and spirits are found in Whale kingdom, no one there is like us." Queen Analse explained.

"I know. I'm aware of that. So, how will they punish me for what I did?" Celine asked. She was prepared for this.

"If they find you here, you will be punished mercilessly." Queen Analse said. She could see her daughter wasn't scared of it. She seem ready for it.

"You keep saying that. But, you have been missing the point. What is the punishment? Tell me what it is, I will prepare for it." Celine said, confidently.

Queen Analse sigh deeply, what will she tell her daughter at this stance. She had been trying to avoid telling her anything about it, she wanted her to leave before they tackle the issue with Whale kingdom.

"I will receive the punishment mother, I can't cause a big trouble like this and run away. Let Eva and Julia go to Dior, I will stay here and wait for them." She added, interrupting her thoughts.

"Do you know the punishment?" Queen Analse asked. She was surprised at her daughter's bravery.

"I don't know." Celine attested.

"But, what else would it be other than. To be imprisoned or killed or be a slave? I will willingly do any of that. After all, I committed a crime." She added.

Queen Analse smiled, her daughter truly don't know the consequence of what she did. She wished to help her no matter what.

"You will marry the prince and it's a must." Queen Analse blurted out. She has to tell her the truth once. At least, only today.

Celine couldn't move or say something, she was surprised. It was as if the time was paused, she wondered if that was a punishment or death sentence.

Marrying a monster with force, trying to please him for the rest of your life is worse than death itself. Monsters are unpleasant beings, they never appreciate the little you do for them and they are worst than whales.

Will marrying a monster make her life miserable or soothe her? She bite her lips as she stared at the glass vase in front of her.

This is more complicated than she imagined, it's...

"Are you listening to what I'm saying?" The seer asked, looking into her eyes.

She jerked back to reality and looked at him immediately.

"Hmmmm...hmm.....sorry, I..... didn't hear you." She shuttered. She hasn't really been paying attention to him, thoughts had taken over.

"You have been thinking. Don't worry it will be fine. But, we have no time now. You have to go." The seer said.

He picked a pearl from his flukes and gave it to Celine. It was a magic pearl.

"When you find her, read the magic words on this pearl and both of you will come back here." He added.

"Just like that? It seem simple, no obstacles. We will definitely return soon." Celine said, confidently.

The seer smiled.

"Obstacles are everywhere, you are going to a strange world so you have to be more careful." He explained.

"You will transmigrate to a world of skies. Full of fancy and distractions. If you are not careful, you will be swayed into the wrong lane. It's the world of Humans, your sister is there. Don't be fooled by them but, don't avoid them completely." He explained further.

"Okay." Celine replied, though she don't understand him.

"Seer, hope nothing will happen to her?" king Olive asked, concerned.

Celine scuffed.

"Since when did he care?" She murmured.

The seer looked at her and smiled. He then turned to the king.

"No, your majesty. She will be fine, except she hurts herself or her sister hurts her." The seer said.

"I'm talking about Dior. Hope she's fine there." King Olive corrected.

Celine scuffed.

"I knew it." She murmured

The seer smiled.

"Yes, your majesty. She's fine." He replied and turned to Celine.

"I know you are sad but, it's okay." He said.

"I never said that." Celine corrected. She would never show her weakness.

The seer smiled, he knew she's pretending.

"I have a tailsman to watch over you and Dior." He announced.

"Nothing will happen to any of you." He added.

"That would be a relieve. Please, watch over Dior more carefully." King Olive pleaded.

Celine sigh deeply.

"Please, don't watch over me. I will be fine, you should protect the needy." She sneered.

The seer sigh deeply and nodded.

"When you get there, a book will be by your side. It includes all the dos and don'ts, you must obey them so you can return safely. Tell Dior when you meet her, she mustn't do them." He explained.

"The temptation is high but you must avoid them in other to survive. Make sure, you tell Dior everything. Explain to her well." He explained further.

"I will give her the book. It will be better if she read it herself." Celine pointed out.

"Yes, give her. It's better. I know Dior is very obedient, she will do everything well." Queen Analse said.

Celine sigh deeply, why wasn't Dior born alone? Why did she tag along? She should have never been born.

The seer looked at her and smiled. He knew she was the future pride of the kingdom. It was her destiny. Celine is the chosen one, Dior was just there to complete the number.

And now, Dior is about to bring doom to the kingdom. It was her destiny to destroy the kingdom while Celine was made to amend it. But, he can't tell the king that. The other seer was killed for telling the truth.

He wondered what the goddess will do to the king for disobeying her. Or, is the upcoming doom the punishment for king.

"Can I go now?" Celine inquired, interrupting his thoughts.

He smiled.

"You should go now, there's no time." He said.

"Please, be safe. Don't get in trouble and protect your sister." Queen Analse said.

"Yes mum, I will." Celine said.

She was leaving the kingdom to an unknown place yet she wasn't feeling pain. Her heart wasn't feeling empty. She doesn't even feel like someone leaving her family behind.

Suddenly, she heard wailing noises, she turned and saw Julia crying. She knew it, only that girl will miss her. She felt remorseful and wished she hadn't killed that pine. Now, she's feeling pain of leaving someone behind.

Well, she must undo what she has done, she can't back out now. She stared at Julia who was still crying, she will really miss her.

Dior opened her eyes slightly, she don't know where she was but someone putting on a white coat was standing in front of her writing on a paper. She wondered who he was, she twitched her neck several times to see his face but couldn't.

She stared at his backside for sometimes before he turned to look at her, he has stopped writing. He was very handsome and his smile is enough to wake a dead person.

"I can see you are feeling better." He said.

She kept staring at him. She don't know what he said. He just spoke English and it wasn't the language she knows of. Suddenly, her magic sparkles and she understands. But, he didn't see it as he don't have any magic.

It sparkles again and she was able to understand and even speak on her own. Now, she won't need magic to communicate with him or anyone.

"Where's this place?" She asked, as she look around the room.

"Oh! You're in the hospital, you have been unconscious for two days." He explained, stressing every word.

"Hospital? What's an hospital?" she queried.

The word and place were strange, she has never seen it before. But, it look beautiful. Doctor Kennedy stared at her puzzled, not knowing if she was truly asking that question. Or, was she having mental issue?

"Well, it's a place where sick people are treated." He managed to answer. But, it seems she was more puzzled.

As if he reads what's in her mind, he replied.

"Don't worry, I will call the girl who brought you here, she's outside."

He prepared to leave, folding the file he was holding. She stared at him, wondering how he was like that. He has no flukes, how will he swim? No, water isn't floating here. How is it possible? She wondered as she stared around.

She noticed the windows and wondered what they were. She looked at the small table beside her bed, she was confused as she wondered what it is.

She don't even know where she was and how she got there. All she could remember was reading those words on the shell. Did she disappeared and came here? Where is this place? She has so many questions but no one to answer them.

Doctor Kennedy stared at her puzzled, why is she looking around like someone lost? Don't she know where she is? He wanted to help but don't know how.

She seem beautiful, he noticed that very well. But, somehow he wondered if girls this beautiful are still in the city.

He wondered if she was alright, her questions and the way she look around is very strange. Even the way she looked at him, her eyes are boring a hole in his legs.

He was walking towards the door and she kept staring at him. She wondered what those are called, was he flying? Do they fly here? She couldn't believe her eyes as she watched him.

His flukes are separated, how is that possible? She turned to the side to watch him properly. He sigh deeply and opened the door, he wished she wasn't looking at him like that. Was he that handsome? Is she admiring him? He thought and smiled.

He glanced at her for the last time before going out. His heart melts completely, she was such a beauty. She continued looking around, thinking about the things she saw.

The door opened after a while and a lady walked in, smiling. She had a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Her waist was tapered and she had a burnished complexion.

A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on her sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she blew gently on her carmine-red fingernails.

She stared at her flowing, moon shadow-black hair. Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes gazed at Dior over her puffy, heart shaped lips. Her every step was a demure personality.

She wore a short gown, exposing her long legs with Snickers. Her cleavage were also exposed due to the design on the neckline of the gown.

Hello girl, how are you doing?" She asked and smiled, exposing her set of dazzling white teeth.

Dior stared at her in awe not knowing how to answer or what to said. She was still amazed by the beauty in front of her.

"Well, it seems you are scared. Please, don't be." She added and smiled again.

Dior nod her head but didn't say a word.

"My name is Melina, what's your name?" Melina inquired.

"Dior." She replied. Melina stared at her puzzled, she has never heard of that name before. She pouted, thinking of something new. It will be better to change that name.

"That's strange, is it your name or what?" Melina finally spoke.

"It's my name, please where is this place?" Dior queried. She wished someone would explain things to her.

"Well, you are in the hospital." Melina answered. She wondered why Dior was asking.

"I know but this strange place with strange...

"It's not a strange place and nothing is strange here, this is London. We are in the city of Chelsea, London." Melina interjected.

Dior stared at her puzzled, she has never heard of that name before. Why is the place called so?

"I actually saw you at Brighton beach in East Sussex. Is that where you live?" Melina queried. She needs to know her more.

"No, Oceania." Dior replied.

"Hmmm! That's strange, never heard of it before." Melina commented.

"Will you stay with me? Will you work with me? You will earn enough money to care for yourself. You look beautiful, so it will be easy." She added.

Dior didn't understand her but she nodded anyway. She agreed to it. Melina smiled.

"I'm glad you agree. The doctor said you are alright and you will be discharged soon so don't worry, I will take you home." Melina announced.

"Okay, please how did I get here in the first place?" Dior queried. She don't know where she was but she need to know how she got there.

"I brought you here." Melina replied. Dior wondered how that was possible. She disappeared from her kingdom so how did she bring her here?

"I saw you at the beach unconscious, you were closed to the water. So, I brought you here to be treated. But, tell me something, where are you from?" Melina inquired.

"Well, I don't remember anything." Dior lied. She can't say anything about herself, it would look strange to the lady just the way everything is strange to her.

She knew with time she will adapt and understand everything.

"It's okay. But, your name will no longer be Dior." Melina announced.

"Why?" Dior asked.

"It's very strange, I have never heard of that name before. If you tell anyone that, they will think you are insane." Melina explained

"Okay, what will my name be then?" Dior agreed.

"Good question, Mia is now your name. It sound cool, right?" Melina inquired.

"Mia?" Dior asked rhetorically.

"Yes, it's a nice name. You will like it as time goes on." Melina explained.

"Okay." Dior agreed.

The door opened and a middle aged man entered, smiling. Dior turned to look at who it was and she was mesmerized.

He had a Mohican cut and scythe-shaped eyebrows. His Roman nose and half-dome cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw. He looked more younger than his age.

His wrestler's shoulders were part of his burly physique. He walked with a tiger like tread and his nomad-blue eyes twinkled. They were Saturn round and were a-flush with triumph.

His derring-do personality and bass voice were a big part of his ambitious character. He wore a white coat like the first man she met not quite long. Such a handsome man.

She thought as she couldn't take her eyes off him. He smiled exposing his crystal white set of teeth and it was like the world had stopped.

"Doctor, you are here." Melina said and smiled.

"Of course, I have to check on your friend." He said, still smiling.

She moved closer and kissed him, she rubbed his chest and dick at the same time. She was used to doing it. He moaned silently in pleasure.

"You are very sweet." He murmured.

Dior looked at them shocked, wondering what they were doing. Whatever it is made her angry. She felt sad, how can she do that to him in her presence when she was still admiring him.

Melina saw her and smiled.

"Well doctor, how about you take her on a ride? I'm sure she'll like it." She said and walked towards Dior.

"She's a Virgin. I wonder how that is possible." The doctor replied.

"Really? Don't you like virgins?" She asked.

"You know me too well." He replied and smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Dior asked. She looked lost.

"Don't worry darling, you will like it." Melina said smiling. Dior stared at them in awe, she hope it's not a trap.
