Feel better

After disappearing from the pit, Crystal and Henry materialized in front of a big hut. They seemed to be in Emerald village. "You are a fool Henry." Crystal said as she turned away from him. Henry was just staring at her back before he spoke, "What was I supposed to do Crystal? He wasn't going to let me go so his son was the only thing saving me back there." He calmly said. "Well you could have at least begged-" "A soldier doesn't beg." He cut her off. She turned around to face him. Her gaze was sharp and her face was pink-ish to show how cross she was. "Let you ego go Henry! You almost ruined my plan by messing around with king Bargwandas." She pouted out. "Do you know how hard it was to get princess Libra to trust me? Do you really want to ruin everything?" She asked him. She was damn serious at that moment. Henry took a few steps towards her and he stopped a few centimeters away from her. He looked deep into her emerald eyes. "You know what you have to do in order to stop me Crystal. Quinton and Libra will get married as per my king's orders. If you keep on interfering with this then I'll have now choice but to tell my king about you." He said as he spread his huge blue wings wide and hovered over her. "You know where to find me" he said as he flew away, leaving Crystal to look up at the dark sky.

Back in the Aquestrian castle...

Libra slowly opened her eyes. She blinked a few times so she could adjust to the light. Today was her 10th birthday but she felt non of the excitement she felt a week ago. A lot of bad things and bad news have happened in just a matter of 2 days, not to mention all the shocks that came along with it. Just thinking about all that has happened spoiled her mood. She was about to sit up but she remembered that she couldn't move. Her body still felt numb. The only way to find out why she could find out what was happening is to ask Crystal herself. But will she still come after the way her mother reacted? And she didn't even know where the Emerald village was. How couldn't she contact her? The thoughts came rushing through here head as she laid, frozen still, looking up at the ceiling. The door opened and her mother walked into the room. She was looking more beautiful that usual. Her blue eyes and other facial features remained the same but the rest was different. Her silver hair was braided along her back till her waist, she was wearing more jewelry and she had a huge blue dress on. The dress covered her legs and it had a veil attached to it at the back so it would drag along as she walked. Her crown was sparkly and her shoes were made of glass. She was truly a sight to behold. She walked towards Libra and sat at the edge of her bed. "Can you move darling?" She asked as she looked at her. Libra slightly shook her head. "I can only move my head a little but the rest of my body is still numb." She softly said. Queen Heather couldn't help but curse within her. What had that witch done to her daughter? She will have to find her and ask her that. "Don't worry sweetheart. I'm sure that witch has something to do with your illness. I'll travel to Emerald village tomorrow and find out." She said in a gentle voice as she reached out her hand to touch her head. "For now just enjoy your birthday." She said as she stood up and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she stopped and looked back at her. "And remember sweety, don't push yourself too hard or think about this too much. I'll find that witch and make you feel better." She said before she walked out of the room. Libra looked at the ceiling again. "Bit you can't make me feel better mother."
