LUNA: The Invisible Princess

A few minutes later, my eyes stopped glowing and gave Alyssa a faint smile. She tenses up and looks at me expectantly.

“Alyssa, I know you still have a lot of questions about your identity and why you became a half-snake.” She nodded at me nervously. “I know my twin said I’m the only one who can answer your past. Yes, I see your past, how it all started...”

Her eyes watered. I smiled as I wiped her tears and said, “Your mother fell in love with a half-snake, just as you are with a snake as hair minus the snake-like eyes that turned a living being into a stone. He is Megadron, the prince of Palladin Castle. Allamadin cursed the prince when he came here. Allamadin is a powerful demon, but he pretended to be human and stumbled into this place.”

“Megadron and Allamadin had some misunderstanding, so in a rage, Allamadin cursed Megadron and his future child and left this world. Ever since then, Megadron had been feared by many because he could not control the snakes in his head and killed many people. So the current King had no choice but to kill his own child. They sentenced Megadron to death in front of all the people and beheaded him.” Alyssa gasped, and more tears streamed down her face.

I sighed and continued, “But when his wife Jadah gave birth, she was shocked because her child was also a half-snake, but whoever stared into the child’s eyes turned to stone. Jadah turned to stone after giving birth to the child because she looked into the eyes. The woman who gave birth to her covered the baby’s eyes after witnessing the indescribable happening. She took care of the baby and named her Alyssa.”

Alyssa and the rest of the group had tears streaming down their faces. I rubbed my fingers on her cheeks to wipe out her tears. “You know what happened next, Alyssa...”

“Thank you, Luna... thank you very much,” she said with a smile and held my hand. I nodded with a comforting smile. Marga approached Alyssa and hugged her. They both sobbed.

Afterward, I stepped away and summoned a portal. We waved goodbye to Marga and Alyssa, who were smiling at us with tears streaming down their faces.

For one last time, Leena hugged them before we entered the portal together.

When our eyes opened and stepped into the ground, our jaws dropped in awe.

“Welcome to Magicus Land!” Furry said happily while jumping, inexplicably excited.

Then she kissed the ground like it was so precious while uttering the words, “I miss you so much, Magicus! Huhuhu, I didn’t think I’d be able to come back here. Wahhhhh!”

For a moment, we were stunned, but we burst into laughter seeing her reaction. Furry’s personality is interesting.

While swaying around, her dress is back to the way it was, and it was glowing in the night. Now, she’s more like a fairy descending from heaven.

It’s night here in Magicus Land and it’s a beautiful paradise. The place is full of fireflies and twinkles with different colors. The colorful trees also glow magically.

“Every night, the trees and plants glow beautifully, and then a million fireflies come out,” said Furry happily.

“Wow!” The entire group mumbled in awe when Furry touched the plants and they suddenly glimmered more brightly. A million fireflies are flying everywhere and they look amazing!

“Furry, how did you end up in the mortal world?” Ereia asked in curiosity.

Furry’s face instantly flushed in embarrassment. “Because I was so stubborn, I violated my mother and father’s order to never enter the forbidden door. I didn’t know that it was a portal, but I couldn’t find my way back, so I was trapped in a mortal world for three years. My curiosity leads me to my doom. If it wasn’t for Luna, I wonder if I could ever get out of there.” She said shyly.

Pft.

I know what Furry means. Although she has power, her weakness is the metal itself; since she transformed into a rabbit, her ability was limited and because of lack of spiritual energy she can’t transform back either. When I hold Furry, her body absorbs some of my spiritual energy, since I have plenty of it.

“Hahaha, you’re a rule-breaker!” the entire group laughed. Furry pouted her lips and crossed her arms over her chest.

“I’m just curious! Hmph.”

“Pft. Did you know that if you don’t keep your curiosity to yourself, there’s a possibility that you will get lost or worse, get killed?” I said meaningfully, and they stared at me in awe.

I laughed at the way they reacted. “Come on! Let’s go! I saw a big beautiful Castle up in the mountains!”

They looked to where I pointed, and their eyes shone.

“Magicus Kingdom! Here I come!” Furry let out enthusiastically and flew up at full speed.

“Hey! Furry! Wait!”

We all flew towards the palace with Furry on the lead. The squad didn’t know that Furry was a princess and lived in the castle.

Furry arrived before us. We landed in the wide courtyard of the palace. A lot of guards immediately surrounded us warily.

Seeing Furry with us, they froze in shock and stood rooted in their feet for a few seconds. Suddenly, they became excited and paid respect to Furry. Immediately, a guard ran to inform the King of our arrival.

“Guys, follow me!” Furry said inexplicably excited; and rushed into the palace. We immediately followed while admiring the entire palace. Several guards also followed us and upon entering, there were also many guards lined up on the side.

Sharp gasps instantly filled the hall when they saw Furry and immediately paid respect with excitement. Furry just smiled, but I can tell that she was tense. I think it’s because she’s been gone for too long.

A few moments later, we entered a vast room. The throne room. Two majestic figures sat in the center of the big platform—the King and Queen of the Palace.

Both figures were tense and seemed excited. When they saw us, the Queen came down in a hurry upon seeing Furry. They embrace each other while crying. But when they pulled away, without warning, the Queen squeezed Furry’s ear like a mother punishes her naughty child; and Furry yelped in pain.

Seeing this, we all hold back our laughter. Furry is so cute, like a fluffy kitten.

“Mother Queen! I was wrong! Huhuhu, ouch! Please forgive this unruly child, Mother Queen! I promise it won’t happen again!”

“It really won’t happen again, Furry! Alas! I don’t know what I’m going to do with you!” the Queen let out an exhausted sigh.

“Hehehe, sorry, Mother Queen! But… it’s embarrassing to do this in front of my guests...” Furry said with a pout while rubbing her beet-red ear and her face flushed red in embarrassment.

The Queen looked at us and smiled warmly. We all greeted her with a smile.

The King got down from his chair and walked towards Furry. Furry immediately paid respects, but she was surprised when the King hugged her.

“Good thing you came home safe, kiddo...” Furry smiled broadly.

“Yes, Father King! If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be able to come back...” Furry said and pointed at us. We paid our respects to the King and smiled.

Furry immediately told her parents what had happened to her during the three-year absence.

Suddenly, a woman and a man arrived and mightily walked toward us. Their eyes widened when they saw Furry.

“Furry!” the woman and man let out in shock.

Furry smiled and hugged them. “Big Sister! Big Brother!”

But all of a sudden, Furry grunted when the two smacked her head. “Ow!”

“We were so worried about you! We’ve been looking everywhere to the ends of the world just to find you! And we’ve even blamed the Blood Land! You naughty kid!”

“I’m sorry, big sister, big brother! Huhuhu, I didn’t mean to enter the portal room! Who knows that inside the forbidden room is actually a portal?”

“You…”

“Aish, you’re really an idiot!” Furry’s sister said, and hugged her again.

After their little reunion, Furry introduced us all to her family. They welcomed us warmly.

Since it was nighttime, they temporarily accommodated us in the palace. And of course! Leena and I share a room in the big guest room.

The King immediately ordered the maidservants to prepare a feast for us. When we went to the dining room, they had already served the food on the long table. My eyes shone and my mouth watered seeing a lot of delicious food.

My forehead furrowed together when I noticed the squad looked at me with a smirk on their faces.

“What?”

“Hahaha, we know how much you love food, Luna!” they uttered in a teasing manner, and then everyone burst into laughter.

I was speechless.

The King and Queen stifled a laugh as well, and then I joined in the laughter as I stuck my tongue out. We all sat and dug in while having fun at the dinner table.

Actually, all the food was delicious and I couldn’t count how many dishes I had tried. These dishes were different from Moondrous World and other dimensions, and they taste so good! It’s not only that because the ingredients they use contain a little bit of spiritual energy that nourishes the body.

In fact, some areas in Magicus Land are abundant in spiritual energy, and according to Furry, their world is full of cultivators and mages.

Moreover, the other gods frequently visit this world to control the situation in case a war breaks out. Now that I recall, when I was in Olympus, I read an ancient book that detailed the Magicus World and some powerful forces that wanted to rule the world.

This world is more chaotic than I thought…

Back when the demons attack Moondrous World and other dimensions, Magicus World is not included. For some unknown reason, demons avoided this world as if they would get burned if they set foot in this world.

Ah! I remember something in the book that said, Hades offended someone with a terrifying power that even Zeus and other gods couldn’t afford to offend. That Invincible Immortal Being cursed Hades and put a restraining order that he and his lackeys could never enter Magicus World ever again or he’ll vanish forever.

The old Hades was terrified and never dared enter Magicus World again; that happened thousands of years ago. His lackey, Allamadin from Evilandia, naturally knows the truth and never dared to send his armies into this world or he will face some consequences and it was a hefty price to pay.

Burp!

“Oops! Excuse me!” I quickly covered my mouth with a napkin. I burped in front of everyone and it was embarrassing. Ahh, I wish I could dig a hole and hide right now!

A pin-drop silence filled the room as everyone halted while looking at me. And I was even more embarrassed when everyone laughed out loud.

Ahhh, so embarrassing!
