The truth

Wura sighed as she rode her horse behind everyone else, she would be lying if she said that she was not sad with everything that was happening right now, but what could she do? Such was life, there was nothing that she could do about it now.

And well she understood Liam, and she hoped that the witch would tell Liam nothing but the truth that he deserved.

Mero noticed that Wura was riding behind them all, so he moved his horse back to catch up with her.

"My Queen, do you feel alright?" asked Mero as Wura turned to the left to look at him.

"Ahh… well yes, I am fine" said Wura as Mero just looked at her with an expression that read "Are you really fine?"

"Okay fine, I am not fine, I am actually very sad, I mean, everything Is coming to an end in a way, and I do not know what to think about it at all" said Wura as she sighed, she hated how Mero could easily make her talk, he always looked so serious and all knowing that she found it hard to lie to him.

"In a way, I feel like by allowing Liam to go, I would be losing him" said Wura as she sighed and Mero just looked at her.

"My Queen, did you try telling him??" asked Mero.

"I tried Mero, I did try, but I realized that it is not worth it, I have a feeling that with that enchantment in Liam's eyes, he won't believe me even if I tell him the truth a million times, so I am hoping that the witch would be able to tell him the truth" said Wura as Mero shot her another look.

"I know Mero, you do not trust seers, witches diviners, but this seems to be our only hope right now" said Wura.

"Well whatever you say my Queen" said Mero as Wura nodded.

"Yes, it is whatever I say that goes" said Wura as Mero nodded and Liam turned back to see both Mero and Wura speaking, he did not want to interfere because he was sure that Wura was still sad because of the fact that he would be going to the witch to find answers.

Liam decided to let Wura have some time alone to think, he realized that they both needed it after all.

"What are you thinking about Liam?" asked Darla as Liam turned to look at her.

"Well nothing much, just some things" said Liam as he replied.

"Do those things happen to be about Lily?" asked Darla as she smiled.

"You know, do you not?" asked Liam.

"It is obvious, tell me, why do you not just want to be with her?" asked Darla as Liam sighed.

"Well because Darla, I would never be able to forgive myself if I did not at least try to find out the truth, and that is why I want to see the witch" said Liam as Darla just looked at him.

"I understand, but sometimes, the truth might be right in front of you" said Darla as Liam did not notice that her words held a deeper meaning.

…

Wura was surprised as she and the others stopped in front of a big wooden gate that opened up for them on its own accord, and Darla walked in first as everyone else followed after her.

To say that the first city was beautiful would be an understatement, there were beautiful, wonderfully green trees everywhere, the ground was very clean, and so were the houses as there were many people everywhere, riding their own horses, speaking to one another and so on.

"Welcome to the first city, also known as the most beautiful city in the Yonder Realm" said Malcom with a smile as he looked around, he had been here a few times, and each time he was more and more surprised of how organized and simply peaceful this city was.

"Yes, welcome everyone to the first city, where everyone lives in harmony" said Darla as she smiled and Wura smiled this place truly did look harmonious and peaceful.

"Liam, would you like me to take you to the witch now or do you want that to be later?" asked Darla as he looked at Liam who turned back to look at Wura.

He knew that if he spent any more longer without finding the truth, Wura would end up suffering more, and feeling even more uneasy, so he decided that it would be best to get everything over and done with.

"You can take me there now, we still have time before nightfall" said Liam as Darla nodded.

"Well alright then, we can go and find an inn first so that everyone can rest while I take you to the witch myself" said Darla.

"Darla, can I make a suggestion?" asked Wura as Darla and everyone else looked at her.

"Sure Lily, you can" said Darla as she smiled.

"How about we all go to the witch now? I mean I also want to see the witch and ask her a few questions myself" said Wura.

"Oh well then Lily, that is alright, we can all go, there is no rush at all" said Darla with a smile.

"Thank you Darla" said Wura as she smiled.

"No worry Lily, come on we should go now" said Darla as she smiled and they all nodded as they rode their horses.

…

"Oh this is going to be good" said Delora with a smile as she laughed and she looked into her big cauldron when she suddenly heard footsteps and she quickly rushed from the cauldron to the couch as she sat down and pretended as if she had been looking and staring at the wall.

"What in the world are you doing??" asked Cleora as she walked into the room and she looked at Delora who was behaving rather strangely in that position of hers.

"I am focusing and using my powers, what do you want?" asked Delora as she broke her supposed focus and she looked at Cleora.

"Hmm, for some odd reason, I do not believe you" said Cleora.

"And why is that?" asked Delora as she feigned ignorance.

"Because you left your Cauldron on, and I presume that you were watching those mortals again" said Cleora with a scoff.

"And what if so?? Their love story is so beautiful, so heavenly" said Delora as she stood up and she smiled as Cleora rolled her eyes.

"Of course it is, but do not interfere as you know" said Cleora.

"I would not dare, but yesterday Liam and Wura had such a peaceful time together, I am sad that Liam did not agree for he and Wura to be together, that would have been the best gift ever" said Delora with a smile.

"So you would watch if they were together?" asked Cleora.

"Oh heavens no, what do you think of me? I would never watch them together, it just pained my heart that they are not together, tell me, why would you think so?" asked Delora.

"I do not know, maybe because it seems like you would" said Cleora as Delora scoffed.

"Not everyone is as mischievous as you Cleora" said Delora as Cleora just scoffed at her.

"Have you done what you were asked to do?" asked Cleora.

"Of course I have, this is the most important thing I have to do, it is time for the moment of truth" said Delora.

"I am kind of scared to see how this plays out, I mean it could end up horrible, terribly, or good, but considering the odds, this is probably going to end up terribly, and that scares me for both Liam and Wura's sakes, I mean they do not deserve this" said Delora.

"Well you know that in a way, Liam kind of does, anyway, that is besides the point" said Cleora as she knew that she was talking too much right now, if Elvira was about to hear her, she would be in big trouble for saying things that she should not have said.

"Where is Elvira anyway?" asked Delora as she looked around.

"Oh well you know, I do not know where she is exactly, but I presume she will be with them by now" said Cleora was she waved her hand over the cauldron as black smoke started to come out of the cauldron.

"Oh this is really going to be good, can I watch?" asked Delora with a smile.

"You know how private Elvira is about these things, so no, you definitely cannot watch anything" said Cleora as Delora frowned it was not fair.

"No fair" said Delora with a frown.

"Tell that to Elvira herself" said Cleora as Delora scoffed.

"Anyway, you better have done what you were supposed to do well, now the res is up to Elvira to fulfil" said Cleora as Delora nodded, it really was up to Elvira to end everything very soon.
