CRYSTAL RETURNS:
Crystal 🖊️
“Oh, no! Skylar’s gonna hate me.” I cursed under my breath.
It’s all over the four kingdoms about Logan’s wedding. Why did I miss such an awesome occasion?
She’s gonna think I’m breaking a promise. Or…has she found out the real truth?
Damn! How long have I been away?
Days?
Weeks?
Or… Months?
I need a real answer!
I packed my clothes into my bag, k-ssing my parents a goodbye k-ss. Not like I’m leaving forever, don’t think too much.
Did I ever mentioned about my amends with my parents? It went pretty well, that’s alright. Now, I’m leaving.
For how long?
I really can’t say.
I looked at the sky, it’s still dark for a 5 o’clock. I hope I’m gonna make it fast to the castle.
Some part of me felt scared as I made my journey. I honestly don’t wanna think about it but it keeps pondering in my mind.
Skylar’s gonna die?
Days are rushing faster each day, leaving only but seconds left for her to leave. Does fate has to be this annoying? Why would destiny have a place in her life?
I should be happy. I know, but I ain’t. Maybe it’s just because I’m scared of the future. Picturing myself with king Logan, ‘scoffs’ that’s not a perfect fit.
I don’t wanna marry him. No matter what he is to Skylar, he is still that beast who took my friend away twelve years ago.
Priestess Yennifer said destiny must take it’s place, sighs- I’m sick and tired of destiny. Does it always have to happen in our lives?
Sighs..
I’m standing right in front of the castle, scared and happy at the same time. My legs are trembling like they’re gonna die in the next two seconds. Jeez, am I shivering?!
I walked in, heading straight to Skylar’s room.
“That’s not her room anymore.” Said an unfamiliar voice.
” Sorry? ” I asked, confused.
” Her highness is married, so she’s in a different room with her husband. ”
” Oh, ” I said in a whisper. I might have forgotten so soon.
“Would you mind if I show you her room?” She asked, nicely.
“Uh- no. I’d prefer if you call her. Tell her to meet me at the garden. That would be nice.”
She smiled, “okay. If she asks who this visitor is, what should I tell her?”
” A friend.”
” Sure.” She left.
I’m still not scared of Logan, am I?
Definitely not.
I took a thousand breath, exhaling heavily. I feel like I’m getting an anxiety attack and I don’t know what to do about it. I wish I can tell her this, I wish I can tell her her future.
I just can’t. Instead, Yennifer’s words appears in my mind.
“When she takes in, I’ll tell her myself.”
But it’s damn to heavy for me to hold. She has to know. Will telling her cause more harm than good?
“Crystal?!” That very familiar voice called.
“Skylar!” I s¢ræmed, soon finding ourselves in each other’s arms.
“Crystal you came back! I almost thought you wouldn’t. ”
” I don’t fail promises. I guess I just made my first regret. ”
” What is it? ” She asked me.
” I never showed up in your wedding. ”
She broke the hug, looking at me in the eyes. “That’s nonsense, okay? You’re here and I’m happy. ” She pulled me into her arms again.
She sniffed, sighing. “How did it go?”
We finally broke the hug, sitting on the green grass. “It went well, more than I ever expected. Honestly,, they didn’t look good when I returned. Dad said mom refused to eat since I left, got sick two days after. Always having a sleepless nights. I really pitied her. ”
” I’m so sorry for her. I hope she’s getting better?”
“Yeah. Very.”
“And you?” She asked, “no gang men on your way? ”
She haven’t found out, have she?
” Not at all. Guess, I’m as good as safe. Thanks for your concern, tho. ”
” What are friends for? “Her eyes caught with the scar on my face. ” Your scar, does it still hurts? ”
“No.” I shook. “My dad made me a medicine for it.”
“With the calendula? ”
” You still remember that name? ”
” Of course.”
“Well, it’s not the calendula. I can’t remember the name. ” I tried to think but still can’t get an idea of what the name is.
“Dad said I should send you his greetings, mom too.”
She nodded.
“They were so happy to hear you are alive. Really happy.”
She smiled. “I miss them. ”
” They know. So, how was the wedding? Guess I missed a lot. ”
” Not really a lot, though. ”
” Don’t tell me that. The wedding was all over the four kingdoms, so don’t tell me I didn’t miss anything. ”
She chuckled. ” What do you want me to say?”
“The truth for damn sake, okay? I’m listening.”
“King Darius and the rest of the king’s came. Uhm- they were so much on the table, the foods, the wines the events, and… ”
” Stop right there. You mean, I missed all this? Especially the drama’s?! This is bad. Oh, I wish the time would go back. ”
” Don’t worry, I can make a private party for the both of us. It’s not too late to do it. ”
” Really? ” I asked, excitedly.
” Yes. ”
” So, what should I call you, your majesty? ”
” Just call me Skylar, okay. I’m still getting used to the ‘your majesty ‘ stuff. ” She rolled her eyes.
It’s so much fun to be with your best friend. Especially when they’re like the world to you.
~~~
Back in my previous room, I began unpacking my stuffs into the wardrobe.
After a long cold shower, I walked back to the room. About to lay on the bed when a knock came at the door.
“This is Sofia, the priestess’s right hand maid. Priestess Yennifer wishes to see you. ”
” I’ll be there in a minute. ”
I sighed. “What now?”
Knock. Knock. Knock.
” Please, come in. ” Said the angelic voice from the in,side.
I entered as permitted, sitting on the couch opposite hers. “You called me.”
“Yes, I did. ”
“How did you find out about my return?”
” I’m a priestess, remember? I see what others can’t. ”
I breathed. Does it always happens like this?
” Does Skylar knows about the scars? ” She asked.
” I don’t know but, I think so. I’m not planning on telling her first, guess she’ll have to find out herself. ”
” What if she has found out? ”
” Then that’s a great thing. After all, they are married. No more secrets. ”
After a brief silence, I started. ” Seems like I’ll ask first, any new thing?”
She shook her head. “I keep seeing the same thing. ”
” Have you told her yet? ”
” I know I had promised to tell her when she takes in but, it’s too difficult to spit it out. ”
” You have to, you know that. ”
” I know. ”
” Then do it. ”
” She’s happy, I don’t think she’s ready to hear the truth. ”
” Then leave it to me. ”
” I have to tell her myself, that was an order from Zeus. It must be done no matter what happens. ”
” Does she have to die? Can’t something be done about it? ”
” I wish there is. I’ve prayed for weeks, hoping for something else than Skylar’s death. But it’s still the same as old times. Skylar has to die to fulfill the prophecy. ”

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: (Episode 18)
PREGNANT:
Skylar 🖊️
Logan has asked me for a walk with him. For the first time since we got married, Logan has asked me for a walk?
Just the usual, he asked me how I was feeling. Like he was anxious of something.
Not that I’m actually complaining tho, I’m just surprised that’s all. He always asked me how I was but this time, it’s like… I don’t even know.
“Are you still meeting with King Darius?” I asked.
*Yes, but that will be next week.”
“Don’t tell me you postponed it because of me. ”
” Honestly, it is. Skylar, I can’t leave you, especially now we’re newly married. I know it sounds crazy, yes but that’s just the truth. ”
I chuckled.
” What? ”
” Now, I’m seeing who the baby is. ”
” Hey, I’m not a baby, okay. ”
” Of course you are.. at least to me. ”
He scoffed. ” I’m still not a baby. ”
I mo-ned painfully as I felt a rough sting in my belly. If possible like something was holding my intestines.
Logan, stopped holding me. “Are you okay?” He asked, I could sense the full concern in his voice.
“Yeah, sure.” I lied, looking at his concerned face. I knew well that wasn’t convincing. “It’s nothing to be bothered about.”
“Skylar are you sure? ”
” Babe, I’m fine. Okay? It’s really nothing. ” I said trying to sound serious.
But in,side me, I wasn’t feeling good. I mean, I can’t even feel myself anymore. It’s all like I’m feeling weaker, so weak and neause.
Hold on..
I’m not…
“Babe, I don’t think I’m feeling…”
What ever happened next, that’s something to find out later.
~~~~
“Someone call the physician!” Logan cried as he banged the hallway door open. “Call the physician!”
He laid her on the bed. Not quite long, the royal physician walked in with his equipments in his hands.
“What’s wrong with her?” He asked anxiously even before the physician could make a start.
The physician studied her both eyes, then her pulses. Then looking at the king, he said. “Her highness is okay. She’s only suffering from a fever.”
“A fever?”
“Yes. If what I’m thinking is right, then I’m guessing she has been with this fever for a long time. ”
” She never told me she has a fever and she never looked sick. ”
” Women are secretive, my Lord. You can never predict their thoughts. But rest assured, it’s not a severe fever. ”
Just then priestess Yennifer walked in. Her eyes trailed from king Logan to Skylar as she laid unconscious on the bed.
“What happened to her?” She asked.
“We need to talk.” He said and they both left the room for the physician.
“Is there any problem, my Lord?” She asked again.
“I don’t know. The physician said she’s suffering from a sickness she’s been with for a long time. What does that mean? ”
” I can’t say without checking on her condition. Let’s hope it’s not a serious case. ”
” Why would she be hiding such thing from me? ”
” Now is not the time to ask such questions, all we have to do is pray her condition is not worth to take her life. ”
After an hour, the physician invited them in. All thanks it wasn’t sad story, but when the physician spat the good news… Logan looked happy and confused at the same time.
” Congratulation, Sire, Her highness is pregnant. ”
Priestess Yennifer tried as much as possible to hide the true feeling in her with the broadest smile on her face.
For in,side her she knew this was just the beginning… The beginning of a new prophecy.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Says the time.
It’s only but a few months left for her to live.
~~~~
“You need to tell her the truth.”
“No, not now.”
“Then when? ”
” She just found out she’s pregnant, we mustn’t let her know now. ”
” When are you planning on telling her? ”
” When the right time comes. Right now, we pretend like we don’t know anything. ”
” Count me out. I came back because of this, to let her know what the prophecy has for her and her child and you’re telling me this? ”
” Crystal, for the sake of Skylar and her child, have this hidden. This will only hurt her… She needs time. ”
” There’s no more time, my lady. The only time we have is now. Skylar must know the truth. ”
” What truth? ” She asked, faintly.
Leaving priestess Yennifer and Crystal staring at themselves awkwardly.

Who do you side with?
Yennifer?
Or
Crystal?
