" THE JOURNEY TO THE KINGDOM OF KHASTRIYA(PART TWO)"
PREVIOUSLY:
Ced and her friends reach the Dark Forest of Ayden, where they meet Mar, the guardian of the forest.
But they also meet Amanda's minion, the bat girl, who is right now controlling Mar's mind.
"The keeper must die!" Mar replies, and he attempts to kill Ced again using his dagger. But at this, Billy uses his ability to stop him.
"By the guidance of the fairy Maria Makiling, I command the trees and animals to follow my voice," Billy said, and his voice echoed inside the forest. All the plants and animals heard his voice. The animal's eyes turn green. While the surrounding trees gradually move and their roots come out, Billy immediately commands the roots to tie Mar.
While Bat Girl is watching them and laughing...
"Feels like I am watching a live comedy show on TV, now I know, the feeling is so funny!"
THE CONTINUATION:
"Wait, smells something fishy about Mar." Miss Dominica said as she saw something awkward with Mar's behavior.
"What do you mean, Miss Dominica?" Ced asks.
"Do you remember last time when we were controlled by Amanda at the mansion where Stephanie is working? Then John Marc used this flute." Miss Dominica and she got the flute in her pocket.
"The flute of Mythia," Ced says, staring at the flute. While Billy is still trying to stop Mar from his Arrow.
"Die Keeper! Die!" Mar said as he shot them with his arrow.
"Ladies, I can't hold this for long. If you guys have a plan, do it now." Billy said while he kept covering Ced and Miss Dominica using the stones.
Ced immediately uses the flute, and she uses the same melody that John Marc used the last time they face Amanda in the mansion.
When she started playing the flute, Mar was immediately immobilized, the same as what happened to Batgirl. As she fell to the ground.
"Who's that?" Billy asked.
"It could be she's the reason why Mar suddenly wants to kill us," Miss Dominica said.
While Billy commands the plants to tie the unconscious Batgirl.
Meanwhile, Amanda saw everything in her magical mirror.
"No! This can't be... I hate that princess wanna-be!" Amanda said as she threw the glass of wine that she was holding, and the Shaman approached her, then said.
"She's not a Princess she wants to be? She was the princess of Khastriya."
"So, what are you trying to say, old woman?" Amanda said as she threw a fireball at her. But the old woman seems not scared, instead, she just raises her hands and a big fireball appears in her hands.
"Are you going to kill me with my power?" The old woman said and she laughed at her.
"And maybe you forget, the power you have comes from me. You can't kill me with that fire. You got my powers, but it's not full because of the curse that Haliya gave you. Don't ever make a wrong movement, maybe you will be burned!" The old woman said and she left.
"Lalahon! I hate you! All of you!!" She shouts.
Going back to the Dark Forest...
Mar had woken up after they lost consciousness due to the flute that Ced used earlier. While Batgirl has also woken up she is already tied up.
"Let me go!" Batgirl screamed as she struggled to break free from the bondage. Where Billy and Ced did this to her.
"Who are you?" Miss Dominica asked her.
"No, I will serve the Queen of Khastriya no other than leader. Long live the Queen of Khastriya!" Batgirl said.
When Ced approached her, she suddenly spat at her feet. Luckily, she didn't get hit. Because the leaves where her saliva hits the leaves immediately melt.
"Why are you doing this?" Ced asks.
"I will serve the queen of Kshatriya no other than. Long live Queen Amanda!" Batgirl said.
"We have no choice..." Miss Dominica said and she immediately grabbed Batgirl's neck. And here she felt an intense darkness that she immediately released Batgirl's neck.
"What happened, Miss Doms?" Billy asks.
"I can't use my judgment, she's too dark, and I can't see any light," Miss Dominica said.
"Let me do it," Ced says, and she remembers the lesson that Helen taught her during her training.
"Khastriya has two kingdoms, The Kio kingdom, where they could confess," Helen said.
"Just like the lasso of truth of Wonder Woman?" Ced says.
"What is that?" Helen asked her. Ced would answer, but Melanie explains to Helen what she means.
"Yeah, just like that, but their abilities are exceptional. They will just grab your neck or hands so that you can confess the truth.
"That's cool, so how will I acquire that ability?" Ced asks her. Helen just smiles at her and waves her hands, then Ced suddenly floats in the air.
"Use the power of the wind to acquire that ability," Helen said.
When Ced remembered those steps, she suddenly floated in the air and her appearance slowly changed. Her hair color changed to white.
"The appearance of the first kingdom of Koi. Where I lived." Miss Dominica said. While Billy and Mar vow to her.
After she changed her appearance, she immediately used the flute.
"No! No! again!" Batgirl shouts. Then, after a few minutes, her eyes went black, a black smoke suddenly came out of Batgirl's mouth.
"That's the black smoke that is roaming around on Dalaket," Billy said as he got scared when he saw it.
"Now, Ced killed that smoke!" Miss Dominica said, but Mar immediately used his arrow to shoot the black smoke.
"Arrow of Purification, Shoot!" Mar said and as fast as the light the arrow hit the black smoke, the tip of his arrow light up then the black smoke slowly purified.
While Batgirl went into her original form as Rita.
"Poor girl!" Miss Dominica said.
"She's also a victim of Amanda's. This should be stopped right now!" Ced said.
"We must see the Queen of Ayden," Billy said.
"No worries, I will take you guys there," Mar said, and he used his whistle. Then suddenly a big dragon appeared.
"A dragon?" Ced says as she gets shocked at what she saw.
"This is the reason why we can't go to the castle in the evening. Flora can't see anything in the dark," Mar said.
"Unbelievable, a dragon a real dragon!" Ced said while staring at the dragon, when, suddenly, the dragon spoke.
"Nice to meet you, Ced." The Dragon greeted her.
"Do you know my name?" Ced asks, more amazed.
"Yes, nature shouts your name. What are you waiting for? Hop in" Flora said.
"I will help you," Billy said, and led her to ride the dragon with Mar.
"How about you guys? Hop in!" Ced says.
"We will follow Ced. We need to be careful while we are in the sky," Billy said, and suddenly he kneeled on the ground, changed himself, and turned into an eagle, while Miss Dominica used her wings.
"You have wings? Wow, you didn't tell us about that" Ced says.
"You guys didn't ask, so I didn't show this to you and your classmates", Miss Dominica replied.
"Let's go now, we don't have much time" Miss Dominica added, and Mar commanded his Dragon to fly to the castle of Ayden. While Miss Dominica and Billy are on their backs watching them.
