KATHERINE.

　　I appeared in my room with my eyes very dizzy and heavy with hands shaking, my legs were aching badly. I don't really know what is wrong with me. My head was aching with a series of pain. I was literally tired. I don't know the reason why I'm this tired. Maybe because of the task the Queen has assigned for me. The task is really a very hard task. I mean how on earth does she expect me to get the blood of Majesty Jake? And I can't also reject her offer. If I could reject the offer I would have done it because the Majesty is really a strong and fierce magical superior being whose power is still unknown to us. He is really powerful.

　　I roam around my magnificent room scratching my brain to find a really good idea to get the blood of the Majesty. My head getting messed out of my endless thoughts, I slumped hard tiredly on a nearby wooden stool. I closed my eyes trying to refresh my head but it seemed nature was against me because right now my head seems to be blocked. I'm surprised that I'm finding it hard to bring up a nice idea because I'm really fast in developing ideas but I don't know what is wrong with me right now. I really think to myself right now for not having a single idea of what to do because I know the Queen really needs it. That was the reason why she trusted me with the mission or she would have done it herself. And I don't want to disappoint her so I have to find something to do about it.

　　"Kathy, think. Why can't you bring up an idea?" I muttered, hitting my palm on my forehead. I rolled aimlessly on the bed without any clue of an idea to portrait. This is really bad. If I'd known that I wouldn't be able to do this I would have informed her that I can't do it but it is too late because she had already trusted me with the work.

　　I think I have to cool my head because right now my head is beginning to hurt like hell due to excessive thinking without any clue. I don't really know the way I can get king Jake. It is really almost an impossible mission because his power is unpredictable and indestructible. I really have to have a solution to it. I think I have to cool my head right now so as not to get my head damaged.

　　Talking of cooling off my head, what can I do right now to make my head at least a bit free? I smiled as the idea of taking a bath popped into my head. I yawned tiredly yet worriedly, stood up from the soft comfy bed and put on a flip-flops slippers, stretched my body wide before pulling off my clothes. I opened the door of the bathroom and walked in. I switched on the shower.

　　I ran my hand through my long hair as water flowed down from my face. I switched it off and shoved myself into the jacuzzi tub which had been filled with warm water. I grab a fragrance soap and scrub my body for a while before rinsing my body. I stood up from the jacuzzi with water dripping from my body, reached for a white towel beside me and wrapped it around my waist together with my chest region, walked out of the bathroom with a huff sound. I walked toward the wardrobe in the left direction, pulled the wardrobe open and brought out nice and thrilling black outfits. I put it on and smiled as it matched with the figure of my body perfectly. This bath I had really helped me relieve my head from stress as thought. It wasn't an easy thing though. Now back to the same question.

　　How do I get the blood of the powerful Majesty Jake? I think I should leave the room somewhere refreshing and comfortable that I could lay my head on because it seems I can't really think in this room right now.

　　I heaved out tiredly remembering the way the Queen sounded. I can't disappoint her. I have to find something to do about it because she has already put her trust in me. I heave out in relief, reaching out for a cup of tea with my telekinesis force which pushed the cup to my hand.

　　I grabbed it midway and drank it full content before dropping the cup on the wooden table. I stood up with a yawn and walked out of the wooden door which made a squeaking sound. I walked through different hallways which lead to the garden that I think I could get a nice thought from. I think it is a nice idea to stay in the garden.

　　Who knows I might be able to get hold of a nice idea to get the blood of the Majesty either by observing plants or nature. Getting to the front of the garden, I spread my arm widely as the cold breeze of nature brushed my skin pushing my long black hair backward. I walked into the beautifully adorned and designed garden which was surrounded with nice flowers and roses with herbs that are eye- catching. I walked toward a particular red rose which seemed to catch my attention, bent low a little bit and plucked the red rose which was beginning to evolve nicely.

　　I brought the rose closer to my nose and smiled as the beautiful scent of rose evolved out into my nose. I had no choice but to smile at its scent. I looked around searching for a nice spot to rest. But it seems no place is comfortable for me to rest my head because it feels like my head is spinning right now. I closed my eyes with full concentration observing the movements of every living thing in the garden. I casted a spell which caused a blue energy of power to surround with a great aura.

　　I mumbled some inaudible spell and blue burning flame appeared on my two fists which radiated great heat. I threw the flame to the sky and to my utmost surprise the flame repelled at me but I was quick enough to dodge the flame. I was really shocked at the repelling of the blue flame. I looked to my left in the direction the flame collided with, and the leaf which the blue flame collided with went ablaze immediately.

　　Who the hell repelled the blue flame?

　　I looked around in search of the person who might be behind it but couldn't find anyone. My body unleashed purple flame as quick dark smokes emitting great fire dashed toward my direction. I tried to dodge the dark smoke but the dark smoke moved in a flash and burst into my body. My body shook vigorously with my eyes which turned very dark with black veins popping out on my face. That was the only thing I remembered that I slumped into an unconscious state.

　　I woke up with a heavy head and found myself in an unknown place filled with void and darkness. The place doesn't have anything in it, it was only full of void. I looked up as I heard a cold sound like laughter coupled with a muffled sound. I was terrified by the voice and everything. I looked up and saw an old woman, her face was filled with wrinkles and black spots.

　　She had dark hair which was really long. Her appearance seems to be that of a dark female demon. She smiled observing the way I was staring at her. I looked at her expecting a word or statement from her but couldn't get any. I was surprised how on earth I got into this place filled with void and darkness and who she is.

　　I don't think I know her so what is her problem with me? I really hate this. The last thing I remembered is that I was in the garden practicing some magic which can help me to get an idea when the black smoke burst into my body and engulfed me and then I lost consciousness. So how on earth did I get here? I stood up from the floor and glanced at the old woman who was laughing at me which was beginning to get me angry. I summon courage and ask the question that has been in my mind.

　　"How do I get to this place because the last thing I remembered was that I lost consciousness so what do you have to say to this." I growled out angrily as she stared at me without uttering a statement.

　　"Hello lad, to get out of this place you have to weaken me with your useless magic before I can leave you or else you would dwell here forever." I glared at her with a growl as she uttered this statement.

　　She smiled as I opened my fist and flames burst out of my fists. I was surprised and shocked as fangs and claws crept out lonely just like a werewolf. She dash at me, grab my head and draw me closer.

　　"Decapor." I quickly casted an Italian spell and a barrier surrounded me which protected me from her fangs which were about piercing into my neck. She glared at me and punched the barrier furiously, the barrier broke and I crashed to the floor as the impact pushed me really hard. She charged at me but I was quick to initiate a back flip escaping her claws punch.

　　"Ascension pupaturalio" I roared out and a great blue wave energy moved out of my body toward her. She screamed out as the blue energy had a contact with her. She tried to walk but couldn't as the energy weakened her not being able to move a limb, her bones made a cracking sound. She smiled as she broke through from the spell.

　　"What a nice spell! It is a good thing distracting you"she said and clapped her hands together laughing hysterically before fading into the darkness. I was surprised at her statement. What does she mean by that? Oh No, I have a mission to accomplish. It was the task which the Queen gave to me to accomplish. So how do I get back to the kingdom? A sudden bright light erupted which pierced so deeply into my eyes that I had to close my eyes with my palm. I fell unconscious immediately.

　　***

　　I woke up with my body and eyes aching badly. I was surprised to find myself in my room. How did I get to my room? On the bed precisely. I was still in the world of thought when a sweet aroma of beverage hit my nose. I looked up as the door made a squeaking sound. I looked up and lifted my head, winced in pain as I felt a sting of pain in my head. I smiled as my friend Aurelia came into view with a cup of hot tea with smoke emitting out of it. She smiled at me before placing the cup on the wooden table, she rushed at me, sat beside me on the bed and placed her hand on my head. She heaved a sigh of relief which surprised me.

　　"What's up with the heave, it is unusual?"

　　"And how did I get here cause I remembered vividly that I was in the garden?"

　　"A question at a time baby girl"I smiled and fake scoffed.

　　"Whatever, just give me an accurate answer,"she nodded.

　　"I should also be asking the same question. What are you doing in the garden that caused you to fall unconscious that way?"she stared at me with a concerned look. I stared at her without uttering a word. I just can't tell her that I was in the garden practicing some magic and a black smoke burst into my body and engulfed me which pushed me into an unconscious state.

　　"You can't say anything or you don't want to talk about it?"I stared at her with a puppet look which she understood.

　　"Well when I got to the garden I met you unconscious lifelessly on the floor. I moved closer to you and was shocked to find black veins popping on your face and your eyes very dark"she paused and I exclaimed like I knew nothing about it.

　　"I had to quickly teleport you back to your room because I was really scared of your situation. I went to cut some herbs, returned back and was surprised to find the room producing excessive heat which was produced from your body. That was the reason why I heaved. What happened in your dream or illusion or whatever?" During her explanation it dawned on me that the old woman manipulated my illusion against me as the black smoke burst into my body. I was really stupid not to notice it. But who is she? Her last statement really creeped me out so she disturbed just to distract me from the task the Queen gave to me. Oh No I have to do something about it before she gets angry with me. I jolted out of my thoughts, startled as Aurelia's voice sounded loudly in my ears. I stared at her with a confused look.

　　"What's up with the shout?"she stared at me and shook her head with a sigh.

　　"Won't you really tell me what is really going on in your mind even though I have been trying to read your thoughts but couldn't because you have clouded your thoughts. I have been talking to you but you didn't give me a reply, you are just only thinking. So can you tell me what the problem is?"

　　"Nothing is wrong with me, I'm fine. Just thinking about random things you know"

　　"Then why can't you share a little?"she said but I didn't give her a reply. As I was talking to her an idea of how I would initiate the task the Queen gave to me successfully popped into my head.

　　"Can you make me a meal? I'm really tired please"I said, sounding weak. She smiled and nodded, stood up from the bed and walked out of my room. Immediately she walked out of my room, I sat down properly and thought of a proper plan to carry out the operation successfully. I grinded my head trying to find something and luckily I was able to come up with one. Few minutes later, Aurelia walked in with two plates of hot spaghetti with sliced pepper on it with meat. The aroma emitting out of the food was really mouth watering.

　　"Food is ready!"she dropped on the wooden table and placed two chairs for us. I stood up from the bed and sat on the chair. I rubbed my hand together before eating the food with the cutlery. She looked at me at the pace at which I rushed the food.

　　"What a foodie!" She laughed softly. She didn't know that I was rushing because I had something important to do. We were done eating, all of a sudden I stood up with a quick alacrity which surprised her.

　　"Babe I'm going out so that means." she cut in.

　　"So that means you are chasing me out of your house. Fine!" she said and stood up from the chair.

　　"No that's not it, I'm going out." I couldn't complete it as she walked out of the room slamming the door shut. I smiled before walking out with the determination of getting the blood as instructed. Hope I face no trouble ahead of me concerning this deadly task.
