She vanished in the thin air, leaving my mother's body on the floor. She was half-dead, still struggling to breathe.

I ran towards her and put her in my arms, she was ice cold. I started crying when my father came to me and said-" Megha!!!"

I looked at him with my guilty eyes, I said-" Father!!! Forgive me, I am a bad daughter. I couldn't protect her."

He consoled me and replied-" No dear. This is not the time to blame each other. She still can be saved."

I had a ray of hope coming, I quickly replied-" Tell me how?"

He replied with a pause-" You have the power of life, You can try once"

I agreed, so we gathered all the witches and the warlocks in the kingdom and I carried out the rituals to summon the 'Rooh'"

Everyone channelized their energy through me to portray the energy needed to revive her, but we only had a failure every time we tried. Her body started freezing slowly. Just then the old witch of the kingdom came along and asked-" There is no use"

We looked back and saw her standing at the door of the room. She came inside and went straight to my mother. She examined her very closely and replied-" Queen isn't dead yet, she is just under a spell"

Hearing that my mother still had the chance to live made me happy but she looked at me and replied-" But..." she frowned.

I hold her hands and asked-" But what?"

She replied-" We have to be quick, or else we would be very late"

Tears rolled down from my eyes, in the fear of losing her. I wiped out my tears and asked her-" Tell me how can we save her? I will do everything. I have lost my family once, This time I will not let anyone harm my family."

She looked at me and smiled and replied-" I liked the way you portray your love, but dear, this isn't easy"

I replied-" Life has never been easy towards me Miss. So, I don't expect it to be easy on me now. All I care about is saving my mother."

Sanjay came back in the meantime, He said-" I went till the border but she is nowhere to be found" He walked towards my mother and saw her condition. He looked upset.

The old lady said-" Demon lord!!!"

Sanjay looked at her and replied-" I mean no harm..."

She smiled and replied-" I know, I can see the past present, and future, but only cannot mend with it"

I asked-" We have no time to lose, Tell me the way I can save her'

Father came up to her and requested her-" I don't know where you came from, but if you know how to save my wife, as a king I give you my words, I will help you with all your needs"

She laughed-" HAHAHAHA. Well, we will see about that, if you can be something of my help."

I asked-" Trust us, Kairu would give up anything for you"

She replied-" Well I am moved by our love for each other. So I will help you. There is an 'Ashes Of a Phoniex Flower' that could save the queen"

Sanjay said-" Ashes of Phoniex Flower'?"

She replied-" Yes, there was a legendary story about a Prince and a Princess. Long ago, a human fell in love with a mermaid. He was the king of lands and she was the princess of water. While in the war between the lands, King was defeated, He was abundant, and to save his life he stole a boat and sell off to the sea. The night he encountered a dangerous storm. He fell into the sea and was in his last breath when Princess Maria saved him, by a kiss. They fell in love with each other. Maria had magical powers, with which she helped him to gain his lands. King Marshall promised her that  he will marry her. after he comes back from the meeting with other kings, 

Days passed and she realized she was pregnant with the king's child. She was happy and waited for him to come back. But it passed nine months, he never returned. In his memories, she decided she would go herself to find him. So she came on land and used most of the magic to keep her in the human for three days. She came to the kingdom and she found King Marshall had already a consort in his palace. Maria confronts him but he refused to know her.

The queen noticed Maria and immediately recognized that she is a mermaid. The queen was an evil witch, she knew everything about Princess Maria and King Marshall, but she used her evil powers to stoned his heart. She made him forget her.

While Maria misunderstood King Marshal and she was going away, the queen ordered to catch her and used her tears. As it was said a mermaid's tear turned into a pearl. And her heart would possess magic that could give a witch tremendous powers.

She had locked her up for days and she finally gave birth to a baby girl and the queen ordered her guards to kill the baby girl. The guards took the baby near to the sea, but they were not able to kill the innocent child themselves so they threw her into the sea. As the daughter of the sea, she survived. The queen locked Maria for years for her tears and gained the name as she brings fortune to the kingdom.

Soon after the baby girl grew into 10 years of age and she knows the truth and she wanted to save her mother. She had a unique power that could grow herbs and plants. So she created a phoenix flower that would spin off the witch's spells.

She secretly went inside the castle and found her mom, she even got her free, but while they were escaping the queen got them and she killed Maria in Infront of her eyes. And as the King was passing by in the meantime, She turned the daughter into a Kraken and blamed her for killing so many people she was ordered to be killed by the king's order, but she escaped to the deep waters that healed her wounds. Since then, she was never been found. But only she knows where is the Phoniex flower."

we heard her story and we were scared at the end, for not being sure that we would find the phoenix flower.

Sanjay said-" I will find her"

She said-" It is not that easy. It is just the story that she went into deep waters. But nobody has ever heard about her since. She is a legend."

I said-" We don't have any other option"

Sanjay looked at me and replied-" I can dive into deep waters, I can take you there"

The lady said-" well, I wish you the luck" She cast a time spell on my mother, that would last for three days. She said-" Remember if you don't come back within three days, we will not be able to help you ever"
