Chapter 3

Mystique was in her secret place, she picked some beautiful flowers, she sat down at the wild green field,

she mesmerized each flower she picked. She opened her palm and made a sparkle flower,

she observed to her creation, she smiled gently seeing how beautiful it was.

Then she was startled by a noise from afar. She closed her hand and looked,

she saw birds flying from the sky, it seemed scared of something,

as she was curious, she stood up and went to there, she left behind her made bouquet,

Mystique walked to somewhere. She thought she was lost, and she stopped.

She looked around to find another way to get in. She extended her hand, and she surprised her hand went through. She pulled her hand back, and she went through again,

she looked at her hand and she still speechless upon what she see and experience, "maybe this is the portal, or the boundary of both Kingdoms" she asked in her mind that filled with curiosity questions that can't be answered,

she looked around if there's someone, just in case she wouldn't caught, she pulled her courage and went in the portal,

she looked at the ground and noticed it was dark. She looked around, "I'm really in Dark Kingdom?" she asked herself, she walked around and it was dark, it was difficult for her to see everything,

she heard some sword noise, she didn't know where it was, she just followed the shoosh sound,

she noticed a campfire, and she looked at the side. She got startled as she saw a man fighting with someone,

he slid himself into the ground, Mystique hid behind a big tree, her eyes sparkled, seeing the man's eyes and his aura.

She saw a small wound on his shoulders, then she got startled by the sound of greeting from a shapeshifting black bird,

she made a shesh and she put her finger to her lips, she looked again and her eyes widened as the man already looked at her from afar,

she sat down out of nervousness, her heart beated fast and started to get goosebumps,

Meanwhile, at the two men,

The man stood up and looked at the tree where Mystique was hiding,

"Hey, Blake, are you okay?" concerned his mate, Blake looked at his mate and came to his senses,

"Ohhh?" he showed him his injured shoulder, "Now.. do I look okay to you?" franking Blake, "I'm sorry Blake, I was carried away, and I forgot it was just practice," said his mate, he noticed Blake being out of space, he was searching something from afar,

he turned around and began to search what Blake was looking at. He frowned his face as he didn't find what Blake was trying to find with his eyes,

he face him again, "Blake, what are you finding from afar?" he asked out of curiousity,

Blake came to his senses and smirk, he looked at his mate, Matteo Will, his childhood friend, the son of the trusted knight of the king,

"Well.. don't mind that, I just saw a creature from afar, or maybe I just overlooked it," said Blake, "hmmm... a creature, and what kind of creature?" said Matteo, "can we just head home? Because you win your thoughts, you almost kill me," said Blake,

Matteo bends his head, "I apologize your Highness, for making it up to you, let me cure you," said Matteo,

he looked up and noticed Blake was gone. He looked around and saw Blake walking towards a big tree. Matteo sighed heavily and went to him,

Blake came to the big tree and slowly looked at it to see if that person was still there,

he looked but unfortunely she was gone, he looked around, but has no sight of her,

Matteo put his hand to his shoulder, Blake looked at him,

"We should go, I need to cure you also," said Matteo, without a option they left and flew to the palace.

Mystique ran towards the portal, and she jumped and fell down to the ground,

she chuckles slightly and lies down to the wild green field. She catches her breath, she closes her eyes, and smiles,

At Mystique room.

She flew to her balcony, and to her suprise, her sisters were there, concerned and worried about her,

her sisters went up to her when Mystique stepped foot on the floor,

"Where did you go, My dear Mystique?" asked concerned Arumi, "auhhhhh...I was in my garden, and I went outside at the Kingdom's river," replied Mystique,

Helene strokes her hair gently, "we're worried about you. Next time, you will update us on where you go. So.. we can't be worried about you," said Helene,

"I'm sorry, my older sisters, next time I will do," said Mystique and smiled softly, "you're filty, how about we gave you a bath at the lake?" Offered Jamaria,

At Dark Kingdom.

Blake was in his room, sitting in bed with an injured shoulder. As Matteo promised, he cured him with some herbs,

Matteo put some leafy remedies on his shoulder, Blake aching in pain screams in silence as the leafy remedies are like heat when putting to his skin,

"Okay.. I hope that those remedies could heal you sooner. That's the only remedy I know that can held wounds," said Matteo,

"Those remedies are so.. hurting my skin, it's like fire," argue Blake, "I also informed your beloving that you got injured," blurted Matteo,

Blake's face turned frown and suprise upon hearing beloved in Matteo's mouth, "beloved? Who's my beloved?" asked confusely Blake,

"Well.. you know, Angelica, is she your beloved?" replied Matteo in question, Blake shook his head as a disagree, "No.. she's just a friend, not a lover of mine," said Blake, clearing the air of misunderstanding.

Then Slyisto Blake's bird came back, Blake smiled softly upon seeing Slyistos returned,

Slyisto flew to his arms, and Blake noticed a necklace on its beak, Matteo saw it too,

"And where did you stole that, Slyisto?" asked Blake, then he grabbed the necklace on its beak,

"Now.. when did you teach Slyisto to rob somebody's jewellery?" asked Matteo, Blake looked at him intensely, "No.. I didn't teach him that, I was also surprised that he knows how to stole things," replied Blake,

he then looked at the necklace deeply, "What a beautiful jewerly, isn't it?" said Blake mesmerized by the jewellery's beauty, "I wonder, whose necklace belongs to.." said Matteo,

At Mystique room.

Mystique was done bathing at the lake, and she was fully dressed. Also, her sister made her behavely sat down while they were busy doing her hair,

"You're beautiful, Mystique," complimented Helena, "she's always beautiful, my dear sister Helena," said Arumi,

Helena looked at Arumi intensely, "I gratefully appreciate everything you do, my older sisters," said Mystique,

"Of course, since you're the youngest of all, we treat you like a baby," said Jemaria,

her sisters laughed upon Jemaria's statement, "she's no longer the baby. She's an adult now," said Amadeus,

"I think something's missing in Mystique, have you sisters noticed?" asked Reonies,

Jemaria snapped her fingers, "I know what's missing, jewerly," said Jemaria.

"What jewerly do you want my young sister?" asked Amadeus in softly tone,

"My favourite necklace that has blue violet pendant," replied Mystique, Reonies went to her cabinet and searching for her blue violet pendant,

but Reonies was confused as she didn't find a blue violet pendant in Mystique jewellery box,

"I didn't find the blue violet necklace," reported Reonies, Mystique turned around, worried,

"Don't worry, Mystique, let me help you, Reonies," offered Jemaria. She went to her and desperately searched the necklace,

they turned around, and both shook head, Mystique raised an eyebrow and opened her wings out of frustration.

Helene went to her and tried to calm her down, "We sure that no one got inside the room, how a necklace be gone," said Helena,

"Maybe someone or something stole her necklace," said Amadeus,

"That was my favourite necklace, that is the gift that our mother gave me, that's the last memory of her," said Mystique,

Then her sisters startled by her sudden scream that was so loud that everyone in the kingdom heard her scream.
