Chapter Fourteen
PURE IN EVERY FORM IS SOMETHING RARE TO FIND. -Erica
"Am I suppose to be impressed because all I see is a town covered in garbage and dirt." There was nothing royal about this court. The citizens wore garbage bags for clothes and cups for shoes. The town was smelly, dirty, and disgusting. I felt filthy all over but the smiles on their faces was unbelievably. They were living in the most disgusting place on Earth and yet they smile as if they don't notice. It had me thinking.
"There isn't much to see after The One took over. I still believe आप should rule The Grey Realm." He looked me. I mean really looked me as of noticing me for the first time. It felt weird and I grew uncomfortable. His gaze soon turned to awe but he realized soon enough the reaction his face was showing. He immediately went on talking as if nothing happened. "The One destroyed all the realms especially this one. The क्वीन lived here and she looks after all of the realms. She has servants everywhere helping her protect each realm. The One soon came and demolished her empire and killed her."
"Talk about brutal," I said. I could easily imagine what The One would do to people. Bittersweet.
"You don't know the half of it," Shane muttered. The forest wasn't as dense as it looked from my backyard. As we made our way along the stone road a crazy thought occurred to me.
"I think someone is controlling Sophie." The dull sun beamed on our heads. Was time here different too? "Well, Erica told me, she कहा that something is inside of Erica's head. What do आप think?" I need his opinion in this. So much is happening. Erica is being killed, Sophie is being controlled, I am fighting this war that has nothing to do with me. What happened to those 13 years of blissful peace. Everything was normal and not like this. Bittersweet. These bittersweet moments seem to be happening a lot lately.
"I wouldn't believe everything Erica says. She is kind of a whacko." The cobblestone path led up to a gigantic गढ़, महल that was made of white marble with dirt stains covering ever inch of it. What did it look like before. I could already tell that it was once a marvelous building and probably heavily guarded. "I wouldn't worry too much about your sister. We came here to meet former क्वीन Elena. She should be able to help save yes from The One and his reign of torture."
The sun was just now setting again. This would make it the सेकंड time since I have arrived. I didn't feel tired at all as three नारंगी, ऑरेंज moons began to appear. I probably would never be able to adjust to this kind of schedule.
As we entered the once beautiful castle, the first part was a small room with a डेस्क and some unorganized papers everywhere. I had to control every nerve within me not to clean up this person's mess. A thin, fragile, little girl appeared from under the desk. Her big grey eyes and shiny black hair was the only thing I noticed before she immediately started screaming. I turned to Shane to see what his reaction was. He wasn't nervous या alarmed. He simply smiled warmly at the the girl as if she was a dog who finally learned their first trick.
He edged closer to her and began patting her head. I was still nervous. She could be signaling guards to come and take us away. Who knew what this little girl was trained to do. It could be possible that she is just frightened and doesn't know where to be. Many of the people here may have been happy but they were लॉस्ट to their surroundings as if they were in their on fantasy.
"Calm down, Melissa," Shane cooed. His rough hands were now gentile as he rubbed the little girl's head until she stopped screaming. "I know what will cheer आप up." He reached into his pocket and produced a small photo. It had a picture of a फूल with the sun shining down on it. The girl finally stopped screaming and held the picture as if it was delicate. She kissed Shane's forehead and hid back under the desk.
"What is that all about?" I asked.
"That little girl has the spirit of a wise man. To enter into the गढ़, महल आप just give something that is beautiful. It must represent beauty. I would have दिया a picture of आप but that would be mean giving it up." Before I could even respond to that the side दीवार lifted up and displayed a narrow hall. The moment I took one step on the cool hallway floor, I was engulfed in flames.

And all I find is pain
I remember that in the darkest nights
There is still hope
I've been through the deepest waters
The darkest nights
Even when I couldn't see
I fought through it all....and survived
आप know it isn't easy
Just fighting through it all
Trying to survive when आप know there's barely any hope
And it was clear to me what a difficult world this is
People never कहा it would be an easy life
All they कहा was that it'd be worth the time
So I came into this world one dark night
And saw for myself how amazing it could be
Through the nights, through the days
Through the triumphs, through the pain,
We saw through it all
And believed
Through the nights, through the days
Through the triumphs, through the pain,
We saw through it all....
And survived.
