Finding Solutions

I was on my way back home, wondering about all the strange happenings I have come across in the past three days. It was all so baffleing. My head had given up on me because of the wound, and my body doesn't seem to have any stamina left. It felt so helpless, I need someone to console me. Help me.

  "Are you done? We need to talk". I heard someone say from behind me. I stummbled while turning behind, to find who asked that question. Tripping over the small stones and gagling between my own legs, I lost balance, and was about to fall. But, the ancient arrogant lady from before, gave me her suppot and saved me from the nasty fall.

  "Its you!", I said in an ailing voice. "Yes it is. Are you not feeling well? You lost your balance just while turning behind" I was puzzle, how did this arrogant lady turn into my mom. "I think it is before of the wound, my body feels all staggery. But tell me what do you need to talk."

  "You are a really nice person, I can tell that. We hardly know each other and you still want me to complain and castigate you."

  "Please miss, tell us where did you find the potion?" The companion added.

  "I really don't know what potion you are talking about." I apologised rapidly, constantly. The ancient lady said, "Alright, I believe you Zara. But you need to come with us for a talk with Kento." Just as I was about to ask who Kento was, I got dragged along with the two ladies towards the Shikido hills. Not knowing why I was pulled near the haunted greens, we reached the Balgomore shrine deep inside the forest on the hill. My wound did not support me but the veiw of that magneficeint shrine situated in middle to of the beautiful and tall trees full of blossoms of flowers unknown to mankind was angelic. I had heard about the shrine and the beauty of this hill and forest, but had never seen it physically. The light breeze carring the aroma of the scented flowers, flew across my hair and cheeks.

  "Enjoying it, Zara?" questioned the older of the ladies. "Its beautiful up here" I magnified. The other lady seemed to searching someone and something behind and around the shrine.

  "Kento!!! Where are you? We brought her." she scremed.

  Yes she did mention someone named Kento before. A shadowy figure started to way out of the shrine doors. When it came to light, I was fasinated. A tall boy, with beautiful silky long, brownish hair and forest ever-green eyes came forward. My face might not be showing the correct expression because of the bandages but, he was gorgeous. Possibly the most handsome man I had ever meet in my entire life. He looked shocked to see me as well, but that must be because of the bandages and my half covered face.

  " Weren't you the one who go into an accident?" he questioned, pointing towards me. "Yes, I did." I straightned my voice and replied.

  "Very well, do you know how you survived the brutal accident?" he continued to question. "I think of it as my luck, and the efforst of the doctors to save me." I said firmly.

  "Looks like you have no idea about the Potion." the ancient lady added. "Please tell me what's happening to me. My eye colour has turned blue, and there is an emblem like metal implanted on my neck. And to be honest, I have no idea how I survived that terrible accident. Please tell me what is going on." I am not sure if opening up about my situation right now to these three was the right thing, but I need answers.

  "So with what you say now, it is clear that you are the one who drank that potion." Kento sighed. "I don't know what we are going to do now, but for the time being I'll tell you all about us and the answers for you questions."

  His voice did not sound normal at all. It was so much more aristocratic, and royal. I would get litle in my brain and throw out more questions at them. "Alright as you say so, Kento. I'll try my best to resolve your problem and make the best of a bad job." I said firmly.

  "Well then Zara," he began," My name is Kento Ye Reild, and the two ladies who brought you here are Allegra Solie and her assistant Jil" He said while pointing towards the ladies. The one dressed as a princess with ropes of blue shade and cherry blossoms on them was Allegra and the girl beside her with a rather fancy outfit for an assistant was Jil.

Kento was dressed in the same genre royal dress, with some part of his well build chest showing,

And a normal girl in a school uniform with half of her face covered was me.

"Allegra, Jil and I , belong to the kingdom of Grissisda. A world who shore has connected to your world. But Grissisda is under the fear of getting invadded by the Nedimors, the deadliest of all creatures. Therefore, the mighty and learner lord Balgamore, bestowed a gift upon Grissisda. The gift of prosperity and happiness. Also he gave us a potion that would be consumed by the two best warriors of Grissisda , that would give them the blessing of everlasting life till the mission of protecting the kingdom is fulfilled."

"And I drank that potion somehow." I added, showing that everything made sense to me. I could not understand a single word this guy said. But I do remember Mr. Gibbs had mentioned something about Balgamore and Grissisda too!! I knew he was not just toying around. "Kento, please tell me more" I encouraged him.

" Right now Zara, I am the estimed- entilted warrior and Allegra was supposed to be the second one. But somehow you have become the warrior. We have come all our way to your shore to find you."

Yes I remember now, on the day of the competition, the water in my bottle somewhat tasted sweet. And all the changes started right after that. " Is that why I did not die in the accident?" I questioned. "Yes" said Allegra "Either of the two warriors choosen cannot die before the mission of protecting Grissisda is completed. You can feel the pain but you won't die"

As she mentioned the word 'pain' my whole body drooped down. I remembered the wounds and injuries I had got from the accident. The stamina was growing weaker and my legs felt numb. I took Allegra's support and gripping her hand firmly. She questioned whether I was alright, I replied by complaining my body to feel weak. I couldn't take it anymore. "Well Zara if you are the one now, you have to do the job assigned to you. You are a swordsmen right? Let's have you and Jil fight. Show me if you are really worth our efforts." He demanded. I complained that I was in no state to fight, but he urged me more and more. Allegra too supported me and denied Kento. But he did not listen. At last I accepted he challenge. "Yes, I'll fight her, right now and this instance"

" But Zara you just got out of the hospital!" Jil consoled me. "But it seems like someone wants to torture me." I mocked while looking at Kento. He was handsome and gorgeous, but completely heartless. He knew I just got discharged, but he wants me to fight. I am a swordsman by heart. I could not reject the arena. Jil stood before me with her long, clean sword. I had one too that I borrowed from Allegra.

Unfortunately fate did not support me and I lost. Defeated to the sand. This would have been my first defeat in a very long time. I offended my mother's teachings and my own strength. I am sorry.

Kento laughed out as I got defeated to the ground. Allegra and Jil did not feel it was right, me neither. How can an injured person fight. "Looks like we need to give you a lot of practice Zara, to fight at my side." he exaggerated. I did not answer anything. Allegra said, "Kento I think she should go home and take a rest."

  With that, I was dropped of at my home by the two ladies (Allegra and Jil) or Girls, as they were near my age.

  No sooner did I enter my house, the telephone screamed, it was grandpa. "Zara I'll be staying here for two weeks. Dear, there is a good meditation centre here, and I think I can heal my heart issues with the calmness here. Ms. Gibbs is there with us. Don't worry. " That's it. The first good thing that happened to me in the passed three days. Now my wounds can heal up, without letting Grandpa know.

  I pushed to my room to have a summary on what had just happed.

I accidentally drink a potion (on the day of the competition, when my water bottle had sweet water) that gives me superhuman powers of not dying before I safe Grissisda, a world whose shore has been attached to our world. Kento is the esteemed one to protect, and Allegra who was supposed to be the second one, now has changed spots with me. Grissisda is in the fear of getting invaded by the deadly beasts called Nedimors. Alright! Alright! I don't get it at all. What is happening to me , this is so confusing!!!

   I lied on my bed seeing, mom and dad's picture in my locket. I wonder if they could guide me if something like this happened to one of them. I kissed the locket, and fell into deep sleep.
