The door opened with a light thud sound as a ray of light came through the door inside the dark room..
The girl who buried her head into her knees looked up to see the person..
Maddy stood there froze watching Elsa with her swallowed face,red eyes, her heart ached for her..
Elsa didn't come out for a day..
She kept crying all day without eating or moving from the bed.
Being betrayed by your loved ones is the most painful thing in this whole world.
Maddy moved towards her holding a tray and gently put it down on the table,
" Lordess, you haven't eaten anything for a day.. Please eat something.. Or you will fall sick. "
Elsa looked at her blankly before replying in a low voice,
" I don't wanna eat.. Take this all out.. "
Maddy didn't move or put away the foods as she stood there watching her blankly.
She sighed and sat down beside her,
" Lordess, I know how you are feeling!!
But try to understand her!!
The Royal Mother was helpless..
A mother's love is above everything..
But your love, your love for the Lord is true.. "
Elsa looked at her eyes with mixed emotions running inside her mind.
Maddy continued, "I'm not telling you to save him.. But..
ask your heart what you want!!
Do you really want him to die??
I hope, you will find your answer.. "
Saying this, Maddy stood up to leave but stopped immediately..
Elsa asked with her teary eyes,
" How can I save him??
Tell me,Maddy.. "
Maddy smiled faintly and turned back to see her,
" Here it is.. Everything is written in this manuscript.. The Royal Mother has gone to join the war..
She won't come back for a while.. You can ask me anything..
Apart from her, only I know the truth.. "
Elsa holds the manuscript with complex emotions.. Her death or Sam's death were now in her hands.
After Maddy left her room, she got up from the bed and slowly walked towards the window to open it.
The moon was hanging over the window as the clouds were flying over it slowly. The moonlight fell over her body and completely covered her head to toe..
She took a deep breath watching the moon as her heart still was filled in pain..
She was struggling with her emotions all day.
Maddy was right!!
My love for you is true..
You can deceive me but I can't..
My love isn't fake for you..
I will save you Sam.. Even if I have to die, I will save you..
No power on this earth can't stop me..
She murmured herself and finally opened the manuscript with her trembling hands, speedy heart beats.
~ THE MANUSCRIPT ~
In the era of the 2nd successor, there will be a human girl born in the blood moon at just 12 A.M.
She will be born with the fate of his savior, a ray of his life.
At the 2nd successor's 600th birthday, before the lunar eclipse finishes, that human girl will have to go to the BLACK FOREST..
Inside the BLACK FOREST, there is a lake called Sacramental Lake.. The girl has to go inside the lake alone and she will find a dry black rose tree over there..
Only her blood mixed with love, sacrifice, and willingness can leave the dry tree..
If she is willing to do everything without any complaints in her mind, the flower will bloom immediately by the blood of the human girl..
Only the smell of the black rose can break the curse of the 2nd successor.
Remember that the girl can't speak or turn back doing all the processes..
If she speaks or turns back while walking inside the Black Forest, she will die at that spot and the curse will remain forever over the whole clan..
She has to do it everything willingly and the process must be finished before the lunar eclipse ends..
The girl can't speak even if she faces all the dangerous creatures, any pain or fear...
Or else only die will be written on their fates.
~ MANUSCRIPT FINISH ~
Her tears weren't stopping at all.. It fell on the manuscript making it wet.. Her eyes repeated the line again & again..
If she speaks on that spot, she will die..
Then what will happen to Sam??
He has to die also..
No..!!
I can't let him die..
I will save him at any cost..
Elsa consoled her mind repeatedly trying to catch her breath.
The door opened suddenly and a familiar shadow stood there faintly smiling at her..
Her heart tightened as she put the manuscript over the table hurriedly..
She looked up at his face blankly!!
Just tell me one last time, you didn't know anything about the curse, Elsa said in his mind..
He walked towards her and hugged tightly, " I missed you so.. so much.. "
Elsa replied fighting with her own tears,
" I.. I missed you too.. "
Sam frowned at her unusual voice,
" Why are you looking so pale?? Is.. Is something happened?? "
Elsa shook her head forcing a smile,
" No.. Nothing I.. I was just worried about you.. "
Sam smiled warmly touching her head,
" Silly girl, nothing will happen to me..
Your husband is the most powerful man in the whole world.. "
Elsa smiled faintly, " I know.. "
Sam continued,
" I am sorry.. I was so busy with all the training staffs.. I didn't get time to meet you..
After finishing the war, I will make it up for you.. I swear.. Okay..
Don't be sad.. "
Elsa uttered involuntary,
" Will we get the time?? "
Sam was a little taken back before replying assured,
" Yes.. We will.. We will roam around the whole world just you & me.. "
He looked outside to guess the time and told her in an apologize tone,
" I have to go back now.. I will meet you again after the war ends.. Okay. Take care of yourself.. "
After saying he kissed on her forehead gently and turned to leave..
But an instant hug from behind stopped him!!
Elsa hugged him wrapping his waist tightly from behind and said in a choking voice,
" I want you now.. "(Perhaps for one last time)
" Please.. "
