So far, she has been having this same nightmare countless times, and couldn't take it anymore.

"Father! Father!'' Princess Caelia shouted, running while walking towards her father, king Caldor's chamber.

"Good morning." The maids at king Caldor's chamber entrance greeted with their head bowed down, but princess Caelia wasn't in the mood to give a response. She didn't even notice their presents or hear their greetings.

"Why is she like this?" Maids were worried, noticing the worriedness in princess Caelia's face and walk-run.

"This is unlike her, something must be wrong. I have never seen her like this." Maids showed care and concern.

"Is father inside?" princess Caelia asked as she entered the inner chamber, not giving the maid a space to greet her.

"Yes my lady, he is inside dressing up," Elora, head of the king's maid answered, bowing her head a little, with her left hand on top of the right hand. Placing them in her stomach.

"Should I announce your present?" Elora inquired

"Why do that?" Princess Caelia chuckled, and banged in.

"I don't like her, she feels on top of the world." Elora felt disgusted.

"Who do you love? Do you even like yourself as a human?" Madam Alva, the head maid asked from behind.

Elora quickly covered her mouth and faced down. After giving her a disgusting look, Madam Alva hissed and walked out.

"Princess Caelia opened the first door with anger, using her hands. And with her legs, she opened the second door.

"Good morning father." Princess Caelia greeted, bowing her head a little.

King Caldor was shocked; not because he was a coward, but he didn't see it coming.

"Good morning my princess," King Caldor responded, after five seconds of looking at Caelia. Observing her mood, and wondering what might be wrong.

King Caldor wore his helmet and jacket, he fully transferred his full concentration to Caelia, and walking to her, he opened his arms for a hug.

"How's your night?" King Caldor inquired, and seeing that Caelia gave no response, he added, "hope it's great."

Caelia chuckled, she caged her waist inside her hands and slowly took two steps closer to her father.

"You hoped and I wished, but father, none came true. My night was awful and I am tired already. I am tired of everything. I am hating myself." Princess Caelia cried out.

Hearing those words, king Caldor hastened his walking speed, and arriving at princess Caelia's front, Before saying anything, he walked her to the bed and made her sit silently for two minutes.

"What's wrong my angel?" King Caldor asked with a low voice.

"A lot is wrong papa, I am scared." Caelia was in tears.

"Explain everything to me, breathe in and out. I am here now, you are in my arms and everything is fine." King Caldor appeased.

"I am hunt in my nightmare, I am having a terrifying dreams these days,"

"I can't get over is papa, I tried to stay awake all night just not to have this dream anymore. But father, it is not working. I have the same nightmare in the daylight." Princess Caelia explained.

"Okay, what's the nightmare about?" King Caldor asked, adding, "around where and whose did it revolve?"

"I am not sure, but it isn't in Prirotles. It isn't from this territory. And not anyone I know or have heard about,"

"It's outside Prirotles, about the chosen princess, the cursed princess, the abandoned prince and the…" Princess Caelia didn't remember the last person.

"The fated prince." King Caldor knew where Caelia was driving to, and what she was trying so hard to remember.

Princess Caelia's eyes widened in surprise, she raised her eyebrows, and at that same moment, she thought to herself, "did father know about this?"

"Is he behind it?*

"You are wondering how I know?" King Caldor raised a question with a cool smile.

Feeling mouth paralyzed, princess Caelia shook her head in positivity, yes.

"How did you know?" Princess Caelia managed to talk.

"How I know shouldn't be your concern now, who they are and why you are troubled by them in your nightmare should be what you developed concerns for." King Caldor smiled.

"Who are they and why are they in my nightmare?" Princess Caelia accepted the correction.

"They are part of you, and you're seeing them because you all are connected." King Caldor's answer was simple but wide.

"Part of me? We are connected?" Princess Caelia wasn't clear.

"I am kidding," king Caldor changed the time, seeing how developed princess Caelia's interest was in his word. And to keep her away from depression.

"The chosen princess, the fated prince, the abandoned prince and the cursed princess are people of the past,"

"Hiding their flames in the present,"

"And must do everything within and outside their reach in the future to avert the curse laid upon them in the past,"

"On their love interest." King Caldor explained.

Caelia's mind was hungry to know more, but she chose not to ask.

"Don't worry yourself, the future will explain more, you just have to keep surviving and keep opening the tragedies and sweet pages till then." King Caldor said, and Caelia looked straight into his eyes.

"Keep opening the sadden and happy pages?" Caelia comprehended.

"Yes."

"What's wrong with you earlier?" Madam Alva asked with a smile, stumbling into princess Caelia at the king's chamber entrance.

"I was worried about something." Princess Caelia spoke out.

"Hope everything is fine now?" Madam Alva care.

"Yes ma'am, everything is fine. Thank you ma." Princess Caelia felt blessed.

"My lady! My lady!" Aleera, princess Caelia's personal maid and best friend called from afar, running towards her.

"That's her, she has been worried sick looking around for you," Madam Alva said with a smile.

"You both are inseparable, you should be twins." Madam Alva added with a smile.

Caelia smiled back at madam Alva, and madam Alva bowed his head and walked into the chamber.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I have been worried." Aleera said, hugging princess Caelia.

"I am sorry for keeping you worried, I am just scared." Princess Caelia apologized.

"It's fine, if I am not worried about you, who am I expected to be worried about?" Aleera joked, and princess Caelia smiled brightly.

"Is it about the dream you said you have been having?" Aleera asked, letting go of princess Caelia from her arm

"Yes." Princess Caelia answered.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Aleera assured, and in positivity, princess Caelia shook her head.

"Go inside your chamber, I will come and meet you." Aleera let out.

"Where are you going?" Princess Caelia didn't wish to let Aleera leave; not wanting to be alone.

"To get something." Aleera's answer was simple.

"Okay." Princess Caelia tried hard to smile. She headed to her chamber.

"What's wrong with her? She seems so happy. Did she fall in love?" Princess Caelia thought to herself, looking back to see Aleera jumping while walking with excitement.

∆∆∆

Returning back to her room, princess Caelia decided to take a nap.

She was afraid of sleeping; thinking she might have the nightmare again, but remembering the assuring words, "it is okay now." From her two beloved people, her father and Aleera. She hopes everything is okay.

She walked to the bed, had her seat and for some seconds, she didn't think of anything.

She deeply inhaled and exhaled, before she yawned, covering her mouth with her left hand.

She offed her sandals, and with her back, she fell on the bed and slept off.

-----

After ten minutes of sound sleeping, princess Caelia woke up.

"Is Aleera not back yet?" Princess Caelia thought to herself, standing up from the bed.

From within, princess Caelia felt cold. Heavy wind blew and wondering what was going on, a paper flinched into her room; through the window. And it dropped in front of her toes.

Princess Caelia wanted to ignore and walk out to go and look for Aleera, but gave it a second thought after seeing that something was written on the paper.

She bent down and picked the paper, she slowly unfolded and what she saw surprised her.

"Begin now! This is the right time to begin! If you don't begin now, your scary nightmare will become reality!"

Princess Caelia was scared, and for that second, she felt paralyzed and couldn't move.

She wanted to shout but couldn't, she wanted to run out for help, but her body wasn't moveable.

"Noooooo!" Princess Caelia shouted, caging her head in her hands with her eyes closed.

"What's wrong?" Aleera's worried voice woke princess Caelia up.

Princess Caelia hurriedly stood up, her lips were shaking, she was sweating profusely and couldn't say anything.

Having some knowledge about what might be wrong with her, Aleera drew princess Caelia closer and gave her a hug.

"It's fine now, I am with you. I am here now." Aleera calmed her down.

"Is it still a nightmare?" Aleera asked, and princess Caelia shook her head, yes.

Princess Caelia wanted to talk, but fear made her look dumbly, and all she did was stare at Aleera.

"Calm yourself, relax. I will get your bathing water ready." Aleera said, she stood up from the bed, and not waiting to let Princess Caelia say a word, she walked out.

After almost five minutes of looking dumb; sitting on the bed, she crawled to the bed edge, and stood up on her feet.

"Could this be a dream?" Princess Caelia thought to herself.

"No, it is not. This dream is a signal. It must be a warning about something." Princess Caelia troubles her head. Walking around the room, with her hand on her lower lip.

Princess Caelia remembered seeing something like that some time ago, and recollecting that she hid it in a box under her bed, she ran there.

She bent down beside the bed and pulled out the box.

Opening the box to see that the paper was still there, princess Caelia picked it.

But she kept one, why are there so many in the box?

"What's this? Why are there so many here? I keep only one." Princess Caelia thought to herself, but didn't want to get herself in trouble.

She packed all the packs in her hands, and walking towards the window, she tore them into pieces.

She tore it till none of the pieces will be useful anymore, and feeling accomplished, she threw them out; through the window.

"I know something mysterious must be in my room, that's why I am having those scary nights." Princess Caelia let out.

She moved closer to the window, stretched her hands beside her, and forgetting everything for that second, she enjoyed nature coming in from the window.

"Now that I throw everything away, all those scary nightmares will go away." Princess Caelia thought to herself.

She turned back and walked to the bed.

Princess Caelia lay down on the bed, covering her eyes with the pillow, and then, she heard an unfamiliar voice, "do you think throwing everything away is truly the end?"

"It didn't end, it just began."

Princess Caelia quickly stood up to check, but saw no one.

"I must be hallucinating." She thought to herself and returned to her former position.

"Are you sure you are hallucinating?"

"This is neither hallucinations nor nightmare, but reality you have to accept and face. Or destruction will be yours."

Princess Caelia heard the voice again, she tried to confirm her hearing, and stood up.

Sitting on the bed, she traced the voice to the window side and sighted a guy holding a blunt bloody sword in his hand.

"Who are you?" Fear hasn't taken over princess Caelia's mind, and she was able to manage and ask.

"Destiny, your destiny. Your destruction. Your real self. Your happiness. Your sadness,"

"I am many things, you choose what you want and which side of me you want to see,"

"So princess Caelia of Prirotles territory, which side of me will you like to entertain as a guest?"

"Am I still dreaming?" Princess Caelia thought to herself.

"No, you are not dreaming. It's a reality you have to face. Answer me, which part of me do you want me to turn to you?"

"And not only you but your people too."

"Destruction isn't mine," Princess Caelia declared, adding, "and it isn't a portion for my people."

"Then what's yours and your people's portion?"

"Destruction is not only a part of me, sadness is available for free."
