" THE RETURN OF THE HEIRESS OF KHASTRIYA AND THE GARDEN OF ALPIA "

PREVIOUSLY:

Ced, Billy, and John Marc rescue their former classmates and teacher in the Mansion where Amanda is hiding. However, they failed to get the piece of the Scepter of Novaria.

THE CONTINUATION:

In the castle of Khastriya, Amanda is seated on the throne. And a shaman approaches her.

"Your reign in this world will end soon. Once the heiress is here, you will be punished by the gods." The shaman said.

"Shut up! I won't let that happen. That girl will never win against my power. In particular, I have the piece of the scepter," Amanda said, and she showed in her hands the piece of the scepter which could command time.

"Now you have that thing, what will you do? Are you going to go back to the time when your parents were alive?" The shaman said.

"I did, but there's a limitation," Amanda replied.

"That is because you are not the keeper." The shaman said and smiled at her.

"I don't care, I will collect all the pieces and will have a wish to go back to the time when my parents were alive. That Gemma girl and their heartless queen will suffer." Amanda said. The shaman just shook her head at what Amanda said.

Now at S.A. P's headquarters...

"Are you ready to go home?" Melanie asked her. Ced just breathes deeply before she answers.

"Not really, but how can we be so sure that we can defeat that Amanda girl?" Ced asks.

Helen smiled at her and said, "Just trust yourself. We all believe in you Ced."

"Helen is right, my dear former student. You are chosen to end this battle and free our kingdom from Amanda," Miss Dominica said.

"Don't worry, you won't be alone in this fight. I'll be at your side." Billy said, but Ced just smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

"Now, Melanie opens the portal," Helen commands her, and Melanie immediately draws a door on her sketch pad. But when the door appears in front of them, they can't open the door.

"What happened, Melanie, why can't we open the door?" Zandra asked as they tried to open the door.

"I don't know. This must be opened right away. Wait, let me have a key." Melanie said, and she immediately drew a key on her sketch pad. At this time, Helen holds the key when she tries to use it. Still, nothing happened. They can open the door but...

"Nothing? How?" Helen said, as she was surprised at what she saw.

"Something wrong is happening on the portal. It might be Amanda is involved in this mystery," Miss Dominica said.

"Are there any other portals that we can try?" Ced asks.

"There is..." Helen replied.

"No, we are not so sure about the garden of Alpia if that portal is still open?" Helen added and looked at Ced's eyes.

"So, what now?" Miss Dominica said.

"How about the portal of St. Helena?" Sharmaine suggests.

"Not a good idea!" John Marc said.

"Why, what happened?" Ced asks.

"Leanne, sent a report yesterday, the barrio is in chaos as well. Her team is still looking for the leader," John Marc replied.

"We have no choice; we will go to the garden of Alpia," Helen said.

On Alpia's garden...

'Ohayo, Miss Alpia." Her staff greeted Alpia.

Alpia is one of the main characters in The Secrets of the Adonis brothers' book two. She has the blood of Dalaket.

"Jessa, please assist our clients, okay? I'll need to go back to Dalaket," Alpia said.

"Yes, Miss Alpia. How about Sir Raven? Is he going to visit Dalaket?" The staff asks her.

"About that, maybe he will replace me as the owner, but not sure," Alpia replied.

And suddenly, an unexpected guest arrives.

"Hi, we are looking for Alpia?" Ced says.

"And are you?" Alpia asks and she raises her eyebrows.

"Alpia, my name is Helen from Khastriya. We would like to ask for your help. To use your portal in your garden," Helen said.

"Helen? The daughter of Nana Senna?" Alpia said.

"Yes," Helen replied.

"Helen? Oh my god! You've grown up now?" Alpia said, and she hugged Helen.

"Well, looks like I know what's going on," Alpia added.

"The realms are in danger," Ced said.

"You have royal blood," Alpia said as she smiled at Ced.

"How did you know?" Ced asks her, as she is surprised by what Alpia said.

"I am a dalaket, we can smell your blood if you are a human or a half-blooded engkanto," Alpia replied and smiled at her.

"Anyway, let's go," Alpia said, and she got her small bag.

"Where are you going, Godmother?" Helen asked.

"I need to go to Dalaket, Miss Olivia needs me. Our realms are in danger," Alpia said, and she led the way to her garden. After a few minutes of walking, they reached their destination, where they saw the garden.

"Wow!" Billy said.

"This is amazing," Ced added.

"The legend is real," Miss Dominica said, as they were amazed at what they saw.

A hectare of field full of flowers and not ordinary plants and flowers, there are a lot of colorful butterflies roaming around.

"We are here. Welcome to my garden." Alpia said, and she opened the gate.

"It's so beautiful," Ced said, as she was amazed when she entered the garden. Before they reach the portal, they need to pass through the maze.

"Who's going with me?" Alpia asks.

"Godmother, the heiress of Kshatriya," Helen said as she pushed Ced forward.

"She'll go with you. We have no update yet if we can go back to Khastriya. But Najive and Sittie are there. They will help you, Ced." Helen said and reminded her.

"Who else?" Alpia asked.

"Me..." Billy said and he raised his hands.

"Count me in, you need me there." John Marc said.

"But how about your family? Edna needs you here. And if Leanne returns, you can follow me to Khastriya," Ced says as she stops John Marc to go with her.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you, Ced. You need me there, especially if you don't know anything about Khastriya," Miss Dominica said as she volunteered herself.

"But, Miss Dominica?" Helen said, as if she wanted to stop the woman.

"Ced needs my help. We will try as well to investigate the reason why the portals are closed. Once the portal is open. You guys need to follow us," Miss Dominica said.

"Dominica is right, Helen. All the realms are very dangerous right now. I can't go with Ced either. But we will try to help," Alpia said as she assured Helen.

"Ced, use this flute as your protection to Amanda. We saw what happened when she heard the melody of our hometown. I can feel that Amanda is possessed by an unknown dark force. Help her." John Marc said.

"I will. Promise." Ced replied.

"Alright, you guys take care," Helen said.

"Okay, we are at the entrance of my maze. But we will use a shortcut. This is a secret passage. I need you guys to close your eyes," Alpia said.

"Are we also included?" Sharmaine asks.

"Yes, when you guys go home, follow the yellow orchid for them to open a portal right to your place," Alpia said. Then all of them closed their eyes, while Alpia started to cut a green vine that suddenly appeared when she parted her hair.

"My vine as the key of the portal leads us to the right pathway." Then suddenly the maze opens a small portal. And in an instant, they found themselves in the middle of the maze.

"We're here in the middle of the maze and this is the portal," Alpia said, and she pointed to her finger a big mirror.

"A mirror?" Billy said.

"This is the mirror of the realms; when you were trapped on earth. This is amazing", Miss Dominica said.

Then suddenly the ground was shaking.

"That's correct. But we don't have much time. Hold my hands and let's jump together." Alpia said, and they immediately held her hands.

"This is Crazy oh my god!!" Ced shouts when they jump into the mirror.

Going back to Khastriya Castle...

"Now, that girl can't come here. Because I have closed the portal already," Amanda said.

"You can't be so sure about it, Queen Amanda. I can see in my vision that the heiress is on her way to Khastriya." The shaman said.

"Nooooo!!!! I will kill her!" Amanda shouts when she hears it.

While Ced, Billy, and Miss Dominica successfully reach the world of Dalaket.

"Were here... This is the Dalaket. Welcome," Alpia said.

"Wow! Looks like an old civilization of Filipino, when the Spaniards ruled the land," Ced says, as she is amazed at the view.

"Now, you need to follow me. We need to find Raven so that he can open the portal going to Ayden," Alpia said.
