SILVER-HAIRED

I leisurely opened my eyes, the last scene before me, of my past self and Nicklaus suddenly vanished, my eyes observed the pitch darkness I was, I pondered why here? I should be in the next scene of my memories right? Why darkness? Diablo wasn’t exactly here to guide me... I have been fine on my own until now. Was this pitch darkness maybe part of my memories or something?

Don’t panic Yelena... don’t. I calmed my breathing knowing all; that was happening was nothing but the truth. Suddenly the pitch darkness forge into a scene, I was hoping to see my past self but rather I found myself in a grand lobby, gold. I blinked puzzled, where was this place?

At the sound of approaching footsteps I turned and saw a beautiful maiden with long straight brown hair like red and green eyes. Zelda! It was Zelda, my mother’s apprentice. My eyes followed as she walked right through me, I wasn’t really here so I understood the scenario but what I couldn’t wrap my head around was why here? Why was I here? And not with my past self as I have always been, maybe this was a scene I was meant to see or something, the truth may be...

I was snapped out of my train of thoughts gathering in my head when an ominous dark shadow emerged from a wall, my eyes grew wide and I panicked.

"Zelda!" I called even though it was foolish of me, there was no possible way she could HEAR ME! She might be in danger and there was nothing I could have. The shadow zapped and slammed her chest, I watched in wide eyes as the shadow penetrated her. I covered my mouth in shock. What was happening? Did she just get possessed by that dark shadow? Where did it come from?

I subconsciously took a step forward but the scene changed, I was now in the throne room, seeing the surroundings, a rush of familiarity rushed to me and then I knew this was none other than the Sun Realm. This was the Sun Realm, my eyes trailed on my mother seated on her throne, her mind didn’t seem to be here, she must be lost in thoughts, this must be after she left the Spirit Forest, she was still pondering about what happened. The large door spread open and Zelda walked in.

"That isn’t Zelda" I said even though it looked like her I knew this was the shadow that possessed her earlier, she was the puppet and the shadow was pulling the strings.

"Mother goddess," Zelda says.

Edwina sighed deeply, rubbing her temples.

"I heard what happened," she said downheartedly. "Is it true? The princess is mated to a Vampire?"

Edwina sighed once again.
