West

 '' your Highness, we found no sign of the princess ''. Ezekiel reported. They all waited patiently for him to respond.

 '' we move to the west '' was he response.

What ? Series of question in their minds. The Lireawas divided into four part the north, south, east and west, the west was a forbidden land for both humans and vampires. It was said that a great battle happened there and two souls were trapped there, as the story goes it was believed that these individuals would be reborn again, so they did not understand why they were going west.

'' if i may ask your Highness, why west ? '' Oliver asked.

'' that's were she's heading too '' he answered. We leave immediately.

They couldn't believe their ears, she was heading to the west ? But why ?

'' oh no !!! This isn't going to be a nice journey '' , Ezekiel the ever playful one said. I can't imagine the worst scenario right now.

'' I would not say that if I were you, Kiel '' zolan said. Just in case you don't know but something is definitely different with that princess.

'' all I know is that she brings trouble where she goes '' Kiel countered.

'' don't let the prince hear you badmouthing his wife, you know the consequences. Just look at what Louis is going through all because of a silly mistake ''Oliver warned.

'' its her fault, this is all her fault. Why would she leave the castle without informing anyone '' . Juan said.

'' just shut up you both '' Oliver and zolan yelled. There's no time for blames, we should all pry we find the miss safe or else .... You know what will happen.

'' ahh!!! I finally got here after hours of aimlessly walking '' Lisa exclaimed. She was now standing on a vast land with a castle in view. This land was greenish but gloomy, it was giving off a feeling of sadness. She could feel a sense if connection with is place, something in her told her she belonged here. But this was the west and it was a known knowledge that this was a forbidden Zone to every other being that existed in Lirea.

Long time ago, when all beings lived together. When the humans were slaves to the vampires of the east and north, a different race lived isolated in the west. This race was the light and forest fae's they were known for practicing light magic and maintain the balance in Lirea.

But this balance was distorted when the Queen of light fell in love and married a demon lord bringing doom to a once peaceful Lirea at least that's the story passed down to all dragon keeper s.

'' Lisa ... '', she could hear her name audibly. following the source of the voice , she found herself standing before a castle with a look alike sculpture of herself.

'' this can't be ... How can a sculpture looking like me be standing here? ''. Deep down within her, her feelings were contradicting each other.

'' what's going on here ? Why am I even here? '' She kept asking herself.

'' Lisa .... Am waiting '' came the voice.

With a bold step at least that's what she thought, she climbed on the steps leading to the double doors of the castle.

'' Lisa no !!! '' Arthur's voice sounded behind her.

'' what ? How did... Did he find me ? ''.

 ** moments back **

'' your Highness, if I may ask... How do you know she's heading in this direction ? Because we've being in this darkness for a while now '' zolan asked.

'' when the darkness cast its glow on the west, follow the darkness and you will find me '' was Arthur's reply.

'' what does that even mean ? '' levy whispered to Oliver.

'' she's following the darkness and voices in her head '' Arthur responded confusing them the more. Unknown to Lisa, everything she heard in her head even in her dreams Arthur knew them all. He had the ability to read her thought but he never did , he wanted her to fully trust him.

'' we must hurry, she can't enter that castle'' 

'' darkness ? Castle ? What does all these mean and why can't she get into the castle '' Ezekiel asked aloud.

'' that's not for you to know, she mustn't get into that castle '' Arthur responded.

'' seriously Kiel, do you want to die ? Just stop asking silky questions already. Can't you feel the urgency in the prince's voice '' . Juan whispered

'' but ... Fine , both the Prince and princess should get this over with already '' Ezekiel responded .

'' please Lisa don't listen to that voice, you can't regain those memories yet. No yet love '' Arthur pleaded internally. 

Finally they got there right when she was about to enter.

 ** Back to the present **

'' Ar .... Arthur ho.. How did you get here? '' she asked in shock, she was very sure she dealt with a trace of her coming here.

 '' Lisa am waiting '' the voice kept beckoning on her.

'' don't listen to her wife, don't '' Arthur pleaded with her , shocking her even more.

 '' yo ... You can also hear her ? She asked in shock.

 '' yes love, so don't listen to her '' .

'' Lisa don't, you must listen to me '' the voice spoke.

'' don't Lisa , don't listen to her '' Arthur kept pleading.

'' so you know the reason why a came here right ? She asked again. She felt betrayed and for some reason she could feel fear oozing from him but she could not understand why.

'' don't listen to him Lisa, he will just bring you pain again just like in the past, you would be forced to lay down your life again '' the voice said.

'' there's no fucking past and no one will lay down their life. Please love , don't listen to her. You trust me right ? '' he asked desperately.

'' trust? She asked within herself, ahh am so clueless . its my husband I should listen to not some voice I don't even know, what was I even thinking. 

Yes I trust you but she's saying she's ... She's me '' she replied. Right now she was so confused, no since she set her foot into this land she became confused. The urgency in the lady's voice and the fear her husband was oozing confused her even more.

'' don't believe her love, you can't be her and she can't be you. You are my wife and she's just some ... Sidekick. Come love let's just go back '' he said offering her his hand.

Everyone who was watching them, saw how desperate he was for her not to enter the castle, his men felt confused at his behavior.

'' is this our Prince ? '' Ezekiel asked.

 '' oh heavens, he has never pleaded with anyone like this, his aura has being pulsating with fear for some time now, no since we got here ''. Levy said.

'' you both should remember, this isn't just anyone but his wife '' zolan reminded.

'' come love, let's go back this place ... It isn't meant for you '' he kept urging her.

'' don't Lisa, you must know the truth. You can't always believe what he says '' the voice spoke this time every one heard her clearly

'' let's go Lisa '' Arthur's voice followed

'' but ... Fine let's go back '' she finally agreed giving up on her quest.

'' no !! Lisa no, you can't go with him. He is .... '' suddenly the voice was cu

t off.

'' the earlier you stay mute, the better for everyone '' Arthur's voice sounded inside the castle.
