Realm Doors.

I quickly wrapped up my eating and got up with the girls . We walked heading outside the palace through a wide good looking garden and then to a building that was kind of like a watch tower back in the human world but this was built in a match complex way . With many small windows and doors that indicated that their were actually rooms inside it . In fact it looked like a smaller castle itself with blue roofs and different small towers surrounding the tallest one . All built with stone and the building looking ancient but well attended to.

" We are here . Come on guys hurry up . " Haley said as she increased her speed . Surprisingly these girls are quite fond of putting their legs at work. I think I'm going to have to apply pain balm on mine as soon as I get back home . What i still just can't get is how they are doing it . Because none is showing even the slightest of tiredness unlike me who's panting and holding on my poor hurting knees .

Hearing her I gathered up myself and quickly caught up with them.

We quickly entered through the different towers and the stairs that I think I'm about to pass out due to having to climb all the way up ." Goodness. Are the people in this place allergic to elevators or something . Fast the palace and now here . " I said as I wiped the sweat on my forehead and held back on my knees . Trying to grab a breath . I could hear the girls chuckling but I didn't care cause I couldn't master up a way to keep my self from taking those quick breaths.

" But this is the slowest we have ever walked " Carla said through giggles and Haley slightly elbowed her hand gesturing her to keep silent. I know i was looking delirious but if only I could control it . Now I'm starting to see my brother, Alan's words draw on me . He always told me to take walks instead of raiding my motorbike to each and every inch of the city and I never listened .

" See that's what happens once you don't listen. Man if only you didn't have me in this jelly body of yours . I think you would have already been turned to a punching bag with holes at all corners ." Nivan said in my mind bragging but I was to exhausted to even reply .

" Are.... we.. about to reach ? " I asked looking at all the three that were standing four steps up from where I am ?

"Don't worry, it's only about four staircase a head . " Kiran said but a little teasing behind her nice soft voice .

" Okay , I can do this." I said encouraging myself and I started taking the stairs but that didn't last for long as I stepped on my extra long dress and ended up failing my face flat . " I knew i shouldn't have worn this darn dress . " Is all I muttered and gathered myself up hoping no one had seen me but it was so much to ask . Looking up the girls were laughing but each trying as hard as they could not to show the obvious.

" Reina how about I take your hand , these stairs can be a little slippery at . " Haley was saying but I quickly stopped her .

" Not a word Haley . Not a word ." I said furiously and walked again as I held up the dress .

" Wow , that was really an epic fail . Didn't you break your nose or something ." Nivan teased but I wasn't in the mood to take any thing such as a joke wether funny or not at the moment . I quickly shut off our mind link . And continued walking .

Finally we reached the las door at the top of all stairs. Haley raised her hand and a small glittery light emerged from the door at the very opposite of her hand . And it opened instantly.

We all entered and wow the room was big on the inside . It had twelve different doors all open and glowing like portals but each glowing a different colour some green another blue , red , yellow and another orange . And indeed each looked mesmerizing . They were all around the circular room and couldn't help but part my lips as I looked in awe . I had never seen anything so beautiful and magical as this .

" So where does this one go ?. I asked . Hopping they would know the one to take me back to the human world.

" That one , I don't really know . In fact I don't know which one takes you where off all of them . Aside from one which takes you to the human world. " Haley .

" Haley did I just hear you right . Did you just say human world? " I asked lowly but excitement felt inside me . seeing a fast class plan ticket to home land out of her words .

" When the me and my family went through it we got out in Antarctica . And I'm pretty sure Antarctica is in the human world, so yeah, I'm no doubt , it's going to the human world .

I felt like fainting hearing the world Antarctica . That's it ,even the smallest hope I had of getting out of here without that germed ring is dead . I can't possibly go to Antarctica . I will freeze into an ice burg and end up as a pile of snow . If only I could shift at least i would fly back to my house.

" What a great idea , flying in the human world . " Nivan broke through. Seriously I thought i blocked you out at least for two hours without you annoying words.

I complained through my mind and growned which caused the girls to turn and glare at me confused .

" Sorry , my stubborn dragon. " I explained and they turned back to their conversation.

" Definitely the green one goes to the fairy realm " Kiran said .

" Guys I have an idea on how we can get to know where they all lead ." Madison said grabbing our attention. To her .

" How about you guys tigh a rope around my waist and hold me firmly . I enter and check out each and every one . Then I came back with the details to each door. "

" Uh , no way . I brought you guys here only for Reina to see the realms door not explore it. " . Haley cut me to the words and then walked out gesturing all of us to walk out behind her.

Dragon realm.

" Dad please, don't be like this please. It wasn't and has never been my intention to be disrespectful to you. Please dad . Forgive me . I... I. I just couldn't master up the courage to kill someone so close to my life . " Ariella pleaded as she slowly walked to her father . But stopped at a short distance. Afraid of his reaction.

Zander turned from the window he was standing viewing outside. With a small smile and slowly closed their distance. Ariella felt a little relieved to see him looking less angry . But just then abruptly he grabbed her by her neck and lifted her off the ground choking her with his strong hands.

" Zander , my love don't . Please don't hurt her. She did a mistake. She will never repeat it please . I beg you please . Have mercy. " Lane, Ariella 's mother pleaded. Holding on his hand and tears running through her blue eyes. 

" Ariella , you're my only daughter . But that doesn't give you the right to go against my rules and commands . You either take what you have or live it. Do you get it ? "

He asked and Ariella struggling for her breath nodded in agreement. He frowned her to the ground and pushed Lane off . His hand . Making her colid with the wall but she was quick to regain her stamina and run to her daughter's aid . Ariella coughed continuously. As she held her neck . Struggling to catch her breath .

" I'm I clear Ariel ? " Zander asked and Ariella nodded once more.

" Don't you node your head silly. Answer me with words . Words. " Zander snapped .

" Yes , dad . I understand. " Ariel struggled and replied.

" Great . Now get out . "

" Dad , before I go I would like to ask you something please. I'm begging you , please forgive Sarah and her family . About her father I understand but please dad . Don't harm the girls they completely know nothing." Ariella pleaded.

" The nerve you've got to spit search nonsense in my presence. Lane get your daughter out of here before I change mind. " Zander yelled and Lane quickly helped Ariella get up and dragged her out with her.

" What where you thinking, have you completely lost it? " Lane asked as soon as they were in Ariella 's room .

" Ariella how many times have I told you to forget about that nonsense of Sarah and her family . Don't just want to die at the hands of your own father? " Lane asked agitated .

" Okay , mum. I know what you said but I couldn't just seat back and watch him do as he does . Sarah is or at least was my best friend . Why do this to her. If I recall correctly, he normally doesn't look for families of those he kills . Now why her . "

"That's definitely non of your business . And exactly what I'm pleading that you forget . Ariella you're willing to put aside everything you have gained, in each and every battle you have fought in your father's name just for that stupid family."

" Mum please . I have already got a long day and enough scolding . Can I have some rest. please. "

" Okay fine , I'll leave you but this conversation is not done Yet. And don't you dare to even think of doing anything stupid. Cause if you do . I'll be the very one to punish you myself. " Lane said and walked out with a furious face .

Ariella fell back on her bed deep in thought, though she knew she was doing the right thing. She knew she was living in a group of heartless people and very soon the undieing goodness' in her was going to bring her nothing but misery and loss of the good life she had . Though it wasn't filled with love and affection but it was filled with respect from others . Considering that she was a princess and a high ranked warrior .

She feared what her dad was planning out for her . Knowing that he wasn't one to forget and forgive so easily .

She slowly closed her eyes not even realising that she was falling asleep. Slowly and deep into Dreamland. 

Ariella heard a loud banging on her door waking her up from her beauty sleep . And slowly raised. The the person continued knocking desperately . " Who isn't . " She asked.

" Come on and open up Ariella, I have got something important . " Lisa her other good friend , cousin and also a fellow dragon warrior .

She instantly pulled herself together and opened the door for her. " Ariella , you never going to believe what I just heard . " Lisa said as she walked inside and went straight to her bed.

" What's it Lisa . Spit it out. "

" First I would like to inform you that the kingdom is going to receive guests . The ice dragon kingdom will be sending some of its very important personnels . Probably they want to make peace with your father . "

" What , but that's impossible . My father is the one in wrong. "

" Yes but we both know apart from the Arigon Kingdom no other kingdom stands a chance to your father . The ice kingdom might have some good capabilities but we both know they value their people's lives so much and with out our collaboration they can't get food and treatment supplies. Because our lands border them from any other kingdom that would ofter theirs. "

" That means people are dieing in their kingdom of hunger . Because that kingdom doesn't have enough lands to support food farming and remember them most of their land is covered in snow. "

" Yes but not only theirs. Even ours. Your dad was afraid that the people at the bordering lands would find a way of sneacking food to those across the border so he ordered that all of their stores must be emptied . Three days ago . "

" What but that makes almost three whole villages without having anything to feed on. Doesn't dad recognise that. Who am even kidding . My dad cares about no one. "

" And for the other news . The medical support we took to the areas in war were well received and appreciated. But Max came to know about it . And he threatened to tell your father . And remember he was very strict when he gave orders not to use the kingdom funds on meds for injured warriors. "

" What, has he told him ? " Ariella asked scared of what her father's reaction would be this time.

" Not yet I guess. Because he said you have got to talk to him in person. "

" Argh, why is he so annoying. Doesn't he realise by now that the number of injured warriors we lose in the inflammatory with injuries is greater than even the one we lose in the battlefield . I will deal with him later. "

" Now let's deal with the starving people issue first. "

" That would be great but how will we do that without your father ever finding out. " Lisa asked.

" It means that we will have to get our hands in the mud . I have a plan . Let me get freshened up and we can get to it right away. " Ariel said and immediately got up and headed to the bathroom. "
