“What did you just say? Kidnap Princess Erica?” Jack asked in shock.
“What’s that bad in kidnapping Erica?” Stephine asked as she stared at Jack suspiciously.
“Not that it’s bad but how are we gonna go about it? Kidnapping a royal person is like an impossible mission. She hardly comes out of the palace” Jack explained.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t kidnap anyone before, why acting like a novice? Send your boys to monitor her movement for two weeks.
They should know where she goes each day also monitor her in the school. It’s not a big deal” Stephine tried to convince him.
“(Exhaled Deeply) Okay, fine, fine. I’ll send two of my boys to do the job. Be rest assured that this plan will work perfectly” Jack agreed as Stephine smiled and gave him a quick kss.
“You’re such a darling” Stephine complimented as Jack got hold of her and pressed her body on him.
“I’m h©rnybaby, i need you now” Jack whispered as his hand went to her bigb©©bs.

“Bryan, what is wrong with you? Why did you disgrace us in that manner? Have you gone nuts?” Damien scolded Bryan.
“I Told you Dad, i told you i’m not gonna marry her but you two won’t listen. All you do is to keep nagging me to get married” Bryan stated.
“Oh, so that’s why you didn’t show up, right? What kind of a human being are you? You’re happy you disgraced us, huh?” Quuen Allysia fired but Bryan remained mute.
“Why didn’t you tell us you are not gonna come for the introduction?” Damien asked.
“I Made it clear to you guys the other day that no matter what, i’m not marrying Stephine. Did you tell me the previous day that the introduction is today, did you? If you told me, i would have let you know not to bother yourself because i’m not gonna show up.” Bryan defended.
“Now that you’ve refused to Marry Stephine, i Demand to know you have in mind” Damien demanded with a straight face.
“She’s a very cute girl, a blonde who always visits me in my dream. But i have this feelings that she’s in this village and immediately i set my eyes on her, i’m gonna make her fall for me.” Bryan stated as Damien’s jaws dropped.
“In your dreams??” Damien asked not believing her ears.
“You heard me right” he replied.

Next_Morning
“Knock Knock!” Mr. Williams knocked that the shrine.
“Come in” the priest said as Mr. Willaims opened the door knob and walked inside.
“Good Morning Wise one” Mr. Williams bowed as soon as he spotted the priest chewing a kolanut.
“I Know why you’re here.” he began.
“It’s been two days since Alexa left our Kingdom. What’s our next step regarding the throne?” Mr. Williams asked.
“Good Question” the Priest smiled.
“I want you to get prepared for the throne and leave everything in my hands. I’ll be going to the Palace later in the day to give the King a drink.
I’ll lie the Chief that the drink can make the sickness reduce but if he drinks it, he’ll be dead in the next thirty minutes” she stated and started laughing and evil laughter as Mr. Williams joined him.
“You’re so smart, Wise one. I knew from the start that having a plan with you won’t bring any regret but victory” Mr. Williams complimented making a smile crept on the Priest face.
“You can say that again” they started laughing.

After gisting and discussing about how to treat the people when they began ruling, Mr. Williams baded him and left.
Soon, the Priest brought out a cup that has a cover, poured a little water on it and brought out a poisonous leaf.
He squeezed the leaf in to water and the water turned green immediately.
The priest smiled devishly as he locked the cup, grab hold of it and exited the shrine.

Not long after, he walked into the palace compound and noticed that everywhere is silent.
He approached the king’s hut and noticed that none of the Chief was in the hut.
It was only King Ethan and Queen Claire on the throne.
It dawned on him that there was no meeting today.
“Good time to carry out my plan” he thought in his head as he approached them.
“Good Morning your Highness” he bowed to Queen Claire.
If there was only one thing he hated in this word, that’ll be bowing to any royal family.
He hates it with passon.
“Morning Wise one” she responded.
“What brings you to the palace this early morning?” the queen inquired as the priest opened the cup he was holding.
“The gods told me to give the King this drink.
It would reduce his sickness” he lied.
“Really?” Claire asked in happiness.
“Yeah. The gods don’t lie” the priest said as he brought the cup closer to King Ethan’s mouth.
He opened Ethan’s mouth and poured the whole substance into his mouth.
King Ethan who didn’t know what was happening, gulped down everything hoping it would cure the sickness.
“Thank you very much” Queen Claire muttered, beaming with smiles.
“You’re welcome. I’ll be taking my leave now” The priest said as he turned and left.

Alexa felt a loud bang on her head as her eyes flickered open and she stood up from the ground.
She looked at her opened box, a container and the old woman close to her.
That was when she remembered everything that happened the previous day, how she ran away when a bear was after her, how she tried to drink water and she…
“Argh!” she winced as she felt a slight pain in her head.
“Are you okay?” the old woman asked.
“I’m fine. What are you doing here? I thought i told you to stay away from me?” Alexa snapped.
“Gosh!! Can’t you forgive and forget? I just saved your life!” the old woman frowned her face.
“Thanks but you need to stay away from me… I dislike people who are secretive” Alexa said and rolled her eyes.
“Okay. I’m gonna tell you now but on one condition” the old woman said as Alexa quickly turned to her.
“What condition?” she asked.
“You’ll promise not to tell anyone when you get to Atlancia” the old woman stated.
“Okay, Okay.. I won’t tell anyone” Alexa assured.
“Good. I brought you chips, have it” the old woman said as Alexa snatched the chips away from her and began to rush it like an hungry lion.
“Hmm, she’s really hungry.” the old woman thought.
“The secret we’ve been hiding from you is that we found out you’re the only one who posses the four elements of Magic which is Earth, Water, Fire, Air” the old pointed out as she lost grip of the chips in her hands.
“What?” she exlaimed in shock.
“No one in history has ever posses that kind of power. We only have supernatural powers but not magic” the old woman explained.
“What about the priest and you master, don’t they posses magical powers?” Alexa asked.
“No. But they have supernatural powers. I mean you’re the only one control magical powers.
Control Earth
Control Water
Control Fire
Control Air.
“Okay now, i’m getting it…but how do i control them?” Alexa asked.
“Believe in Yourself. Focus and concentrate, that’s all you need.” the old woman instructed.
“Wow, i’ve heard about Magic and how cool it” she said smiling.
“Anyways, thanks for the information” she said.
“This is the book of Magic.” the old woman stretched her hands and a big book appeared in her hand.
“Everything you need is inside” the old woman stated and handed the book to her.
“thanks i really…”
“But you also have some enemies” the old woman interupted.
“What? Enemies? What enemies? Who did i offend?” Alexa asked.
“According to the book of magic, a zone of people are striving to kill anyone who posseses such powers, and it mostly on air benders.
They are ZOMBIES”
