Chapter 3

She slowly gets up and looks around in astonishment. The place was so beautiful. Everything around her was like some kind of peaceful scenery. Daisy walked toward the cliffs and there she saw seven kingdoms circling one castle in the middle.

"Wow..." She mutters.

But then it hit her. She gasps and looks behind her to see the portal she came out just now gone. "WHERE THE HELL I AM!!??" Daisy yells. A minute ago she run away from Thomas, having a vision and her closet door open revealing light in it.

Then, her necklace pulls her towards it until she falls into some portal. Now, she doesn't where she is. She pinches herself but only pain came. "Ouch...okay. This is not a dream."

"It will be okay, Daisy. You will be fine. This is just a dream. Calm down. Take a deep breath..." She takes a deep breath and slowly lets it go. "...That's it." She tries to confront herself.

Daisy walks into the woods. "Now, I have to go find some hints. There's no way this happens." She whines.

The girl walked without knowing where to go. How can she end up here? This must be a dream, and she repeats it inside her mind. As she walks into the woods, sounds of cracking make her stop.

Her hands clutching her sweatshirt, "You just being delusional, Daisy." She whispers to herself. She continues walking.

But that noise wouldn't stop. She can feel the presence behind her and no matter how hard she tries to ignore it, the noise getting close runs closer to her. Minute by minute, her walking turned into running.

Now and then, she tried to run. Daisy run faster than screaming when heard that creepy thing run after her. Once in a while tripped because of the branches since she wearing a flowy skirt.

"Is there something out there!?" She yells. When she looks behind her, a group of ugly creatures after her. They growl loudly holding hammers in their big hands. "HELP--AHHH!!!!"

Then, she falls from the cliff, rolling on the ground. Those creepy creatures standing there watching, frustrated when knowing they can't catch her.

Daisy rolls and keeps rolling. Her clothes almost got ripped by the sharp branches and her head bleeding from the rock she hit. The torture didn't end until she grabs at the end of the cliff. The blood slid on her arms and she notices her wrist skin a little bit ripped open.

She looks down and sees the fast-flowing river. Tears fill her eyes, ready to fall. "This really not a dream..." She mumbles.

The grip on the cliff getting weaker. That's how she loses strength and falls into the river. She doesn't even know how to swim causing her problem more. "Help!!! P--Please!! Anyone!!!" Daisy screams for help.

Her eyes slowly shut close as she felt her body getting weaker. That's it. She gave up, losing hope. Her body drowns in the water and she can feel the water in her lungs.

'This is it? Is this how it gonna be?' Daisy thought.

When she gave up, the necklace shone brightly. White lights surrounded her and bring her out. The light slowly puts her on the land.

The guy walking in rush. His cloak flowed as he walked too fast. In his hand, he holding a book. He couldn't believe this time has arrive. Even worse? It really fast. He push the huge door open and saw his brother.

"Lucien, got some time?" He asks.

"What are you doing in my kingdom? You look rushing, Gideon." Lucien put to motion the guard that he talks with to go away. "Don't tell me Eder and Elijah fighting over a land again..." He groans. He can't handle those two fighting over land.

"I wouldn't waste my time to transport here just because of that, This is even worse." Gideon lifts the book and shows him. The crystal symbol in that book shines but is not too bright.

Lucien's eyes widen. He gets off his throne sit and moves toward his brother. "Do you think what I'm thinking?" He asks.

"Whoever it is chosen, he or she already arrived here. And we have to find them before Lucifer did." Gideon firmly said.

He puts his hands on his hip. "Can we track whoever is this person?" He asks.

"Yes. More closer we got with that person, the brighter this symbol will shine." The eldest explains.

"If that so, go find that person. Bring them to our main castle. And don't let that person out of your sight." Lucien demands.

The guy nods and vanishes in the air. Lucien rolls his eyes when notices that guy practicing his vanish magic. He back to his throne, crossing his legs. He snaps his finger.

"Yes, Lord." One guard appeared and bowed.

"Is there any news with Lucifer?" He asks.

"No, Lord. We haven't got one." The guard answers.

"I see. Thank you." He motions him back to his work.

A ball of light came out of her body and heal the girl. It took a while until Daisy opens her eyes and coughed. She hit her chest as the water came out of her mouth. Her lung felt empty and hurt.

Tears slid on her cheeks. She was breathless, pushing her wet hair behind. All she felt right now is pain all over her body.

Suddenly, the light came into her sight. "Ah!!" Daisy scoots backward seeing one light floating in the air. "What the-- g--get away!! Ahh!! Ghost!!" She cried.

The light came closer and Daisy cover her face with her arms. Who wouldn't be afraid to see a light floating in the air? Like some kind of magic. When she felt nothing hit her, she slowly uncovers herself.

The white light just keeps still in front of her. Maybe it is harmless? Daisy brig her finger slowly to the light but it did nothing. "W--What are you?" She asks.

The light back to the crystal of her necklace. Then, it came out. "Y---You come from here---what the hell!?" She try to take it off but it wouldn't come off. The necklace as if stuck to her skin.

She looks at the light for help but it did nothing. Daisy mentally asks if this light can speak. She keeps pulling the necklace off her.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you." The light spokes cause Daisy to look at it with surprise.

"You...can t--talk?" She gulps.

"Of course I am. You wish me to speak. So I am." The light said. It came closer to Daisy causing her to jolt backward. "Since you are the chosen one, so I'm your inner self."

"I--Inner self? But you sound like a guy. I'm a girl." Daisy frowns.

"Because I being created as a man. No matter who the owner is, I will stick to my original gender." It says.

"Okay--wait, owner? What do you mean by that?" She asks further.

"Listen, a few hundred years ago, I was created by an angel. They create me for some reason which you have to find by yourself. Only the chosen one can touch and wear me and--TA DA!! It was you." The light said. It went behind Daisy and try to push her to stand up.

"Don't push me!! My legs are hurting!!" The girl scolds him. "And what you mean the chosen one!? I'm just some kind of ordinary girl!!" Daisy points out.

"Well, you are not. The world has waited for you for hundred years. You have to help this crystal from a villain." He spokes.

Daisy was overwhelmed by all of this. "This is not a dream? Please tell me it is!!" She connected two palm hands together.

"I'm sorry, Daisy. But it is not. Don't worry, I will help, guide, and protect you. You can just demand me to back into the crystal and ask me out. Just call me, Otty." He tries to confront her.

Even in this unstable state, Daisy still manages to feel funny. She snorts a laugh. She laughed so hard that even she felt pain in her stomach. "O--Otty!? Pfft!! AHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!"

Otty rolls his eyes even though he can show it. He doesn't have a face. He just...a white light that shapes like a ball. And his color will change depending on his mood.

"Laugh all you can. My name is not that funny." He sighs.

"But...i--it is for me." Daisy wipes her tears. "So, you just want me to protect this crystal? What this crystal can do?" She twirled the necklace.

"Find it yourself. You laugh about my name so, face the consequences." The light back to the crystal.

Daisy scoffs and walks, careful with her movement. Due to the pain she got, she doesn't think she can move too fast and roughly. "I can't help it. It's funny." She rolls her eyes.

Gideon gets off the horse. He holds the rope so that the horse wouldn't run away. He looks at the book and it is a little bit bright.

"That person must be near here. We getting closer." He climbs back on the horse and follows the lead.

It had been almost an hour since she walked. Still, she couldn't see anything. She can feel blood soaking her clothes. "Otty...I'm tired..."

He came out and scoffs. "Suit yourself." Then, Daisy slowly floats and moves in the air. "I wish I can heal you but since you are out of energy, I can't."

"Is my energy related to you?" She arches her eyebrows. People might think they are crazy. Seeing one girl floating, moving like a ghost. With one light beside her.

"Yes. We kinda have one same body." He answers.

"But you are male," Daisy said while making a disgusted face.

"Can you stop talking about gender? It was annoying. We don't have the same body---what I'm trying to say is, that our body is related to each other." He grunts.

"But you don't have a body. You just...a light shaped like a ball."

"I know I don't have a body--oh my gosh. What did I do deserve this kind of owner." Otty sighs.

Daisy chuckles. It was so fun teasing him. Around a few minutes like that, Otty slowly put her down. The girl was so confused. "I told you, I can't carry you due to our energy."

"Fine. But where we are?" She looks in front and there's the kingdom. There's a flag with the symbol of a flower and a throne wrapped around it.

"We're in one of the seven kingdoms. Oh well..." Otty brings one cloak that has a hood and put it on her shoulder. "He's one of the siblings of seven kings. His name is Lord Louis," he explains.

Daisy pulls the hood over her head and tries to cover her bloody appearance with the cloak. The main gate opens and all she sees are flowers everywhere. People here look so peaceful and happy.

Even she can't plant this type of beautiful flower. There's some weird type of flower but it still, looks beautiful.

"Wait, people will--"

"This is not your world, Daisy. People here are surrounded by magic. Seeing me is normal. They didn't care." He spokes.

Daisy nods. She back to enjoy the flower. Her finger traces every inch of the flower there. A lot of flowers decorate the path ven the building there wrapped with fluffy flowers and plants.

"Wow, this is so beautiful." She was mesmerized by the beautiful kingdom.

"Lord Louis is the king. He has plant power and floating things. Knowing he can grow plants, what do you expect? He loves flowers. He will chop anyone's head who dares to pick his flower. So, I advise you not to--" Before he could finish, Daisy turn to him.

"Look!! It's beautiful isn't it!?" She shows him a daisy flower slid on her hair.

Otty sighs, "We're dead..."
