(Believe in Yourself)
By: Kelvin Ajayi??
Hold on….
What did you just say???
“You’re getting me a wife??” Prince Bryan asked, not believing his ears.
“You heard me right!” Queen Alyssia snapped in.
“You’re not serious Mom, how can you get a wife for me?” Prince Bryan scowled.
“Don’t you dare talk back at me in that manner… I’m your mother and i know what’s best for you” Queen Allysia glowered.
“You know that’s not gonna work. I’ll choose the one i love not you” Bryan disagreed.
All this while, Erica and Bentley kept quiet like they weren’t in the meeting.
“I’m the Queen and what i say is final” Queen Allysia concluded.
“I’m the prince and my discision about myself is final. Pls” Bryan muttered.
“You need to listen to your mother and obey her” King Damien advised calmly.
“But she’s not the one to choose a bride for me” Bryan replied.
“We’ve been patient with you for the past three months. You couldn’t get a wife so i and your mother had to come to a confusion that we’re gonna get a wife for you” King Damien explained.
“Without my consent??? Where is it done that way?” Bryan asked, already getting mad at his parents.
“The meeting is over. You can leave” Queen Allysia said, trying to change the topic.
“Mom, if you bring the so called girl into this palace, i’ll make sure she regrets ever accepting to become my bride” Bryan threatened with rage, written on his face.
“You won’t do that” she doubted.
“I Will do that!” he stood by his words while Queen Allysia stood up.
“You won’t have the guts to do that because she’s a daughter from the priest….you know what that mean!” Queen Allysia snapped making Bryan and Erica gasped.
“Holly Crap!!! She’s the daughter of our priest?” Bryan asked not believing his ears while Queen Allysia nodded affirmatively.
“Mom! You mean Stephine?” Princess Erica who has been keeping quiet asked.
“Yeah my baby” her mother replied.
“Gosh!! I hate her…she’s too evil!” Erica muttered frowning her face.
“Mom And Dad, you heard that…did you heard what Erica said? She’s evil,,,How do you expect me to marry someone like her?” Prince Bryan asked.
“You have to take it like that!” King Damien responded.
“You know what; i’m not gonna marry any stupid girl you’re bringing into this palace” Prince Bryan concluded and stormed out of the sitting room.
“I Don’t even know why i’m here” Bentley muttered and stormed out of the room.
“Same here….i should have been playing with my toys” Erica scoffed and stormed out of the sitting room.
“No matter what; he’s still going to get married to Stephine” King Damien whispered to Queen Allysia.

Alexa rolled on the bed for the tenth time, trying to catch some sleep which is refusing to come.
All her thoughts was on how Atlancia was gonna be to her.
Will they treat her nicely?
Will they rape her according to the rumors she has been hearing?
How will she be able to get the calf at the palace??
Won’t they catch her??
Come to think of it, Where is Atlancia? Is it north, west, east or south?
Those questions kept framing in her head.
What if it’s true that Atlancia is another planet? Who will she travel there alone when she dosen’t posses any sort of supernatural powers?
Her eyes was still opened and shinning brightly when a portal appeared in the room.
She didn’t notice when she jumped out of the bed in fright.
That was the first time
she was seeing a portal in her real life.
She has only seen a portal in a movie she watched in her mon’s phone.
She cleaned her eyes and pinched her skin to be sure it wasen’t a dream or mere imanginationation.
Soon, a woman walked out of the portal and she quickly recognized the woman as the same old woman who helped her in the bush.
She heaved a sigh of relief because she knew that the woman was harmless.
She stared at the old woman without uthering a word.
“Alexa” the woman began.
“You have such a great destiny ahead of you if only you know how the things involved.
“I Came here to pass a little information that would help you in your journey to Atlancia.
“Believe in yourself…. I repeat Believe in yourself. No matter the obstacles you face, don’t let fear overcome you. Overcome fear and believe you can do anything” she advised while Alexa nodded her head.
“But ma’am, How will i be able to travel to Atlancia when i have no powers?” Alexa asked with keen interest.
“I Wish i can tell you plainly…just remember this words ‘believe in yourself’ ” the woman reminded and turned toward the portal.
“Don’t forget that your future lies ahead in Atlancia.” the woman stated and entered the portal and the portal disappeared.
Alexa fell on the bed thinking about what the old woman told her.
What does she mean by ‘Believe in yourself?’
The other time, it was ‘the truth is in you’ now it’s ‘Believe in Yourself?’
“Why do she always speaks in the language that i don’t understand?” she asked herself as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep
***********************
The old woman appeared into a lonely road in the midnight…she started walking back from when she came from when suddenly, she began to inhale trouble.
She look left and right but saw no one.
She began to walk slowly and carefull on the road when something like lightening struck and someone tried to pierce a log iron stick into her forehead but with her power, she was able dodge it.
She quickly drew her own stick out.
The lightening smoke spread to the air and the person’s image became clearer to her.
She gasped in shock as she spotted the powerfull priest of ‘Fell Hills’
“Hmm. You’re getting clever and powerfull now. Can’t believe you escaped my first move. Your stupid master didn’t train you well” the priest smirked.
“What do you want?” the old woman asked.
“What the fk did you go to do in Alexa’s room? What connection do you have with her?” The priest asked.
“I Was sent by my Master to encourage her in her journey to Atlancia” the old woman replied.
“Did i send you? How does it corcern your stupid master?” The priest fumed.
“Hey; don’t insult my master in that manner” the old woman said as the priest charged up and sent a bunch of lightening with his stick but she was quick enough to dodge it.
“If you’re really the BEAST, why don’t you follow me and fight my master?” the old woman smirked.
“Never. Tell him to challenge me in my kingdom” the priest disagreed.
“Aww, you’re afraid because you know that you don’t have any power apart if you leave your kingdom” the old woman mocked.
“My master has promised to fight you one day!” she defended her master.
“Why did your master sent you to encourage her?” the priest asked trying to change the topic.
“He Did it because she has a great future in Atlancia” the old woman responded.
“What great future?” the priest asked.
“I’m not gonna tell you. If you want to know, read the future of Atlancia” the old woman said while the priest kept mute.
“Oh my bad!! I totally forget that you’re powerfull only in your kingdom” the old woman mocked and laughed sarcastically.
The priest got angry and used his stick to throw another bunch of lightening.
This time, she tried to dodge it but part of the lightening struck her in her waist.
“Arghh!!!” she cried out in pain while The priest raised up his hand shouted:
“I’m the immortal” he boasted and brought his hand down.
He looked at the place the woman was risiding and discovered that the woman was gone (disappeared)
“Bullsht!!!”
