- But she's one of them! Lei shouted. - Are you questioning me? Drumon asked, his eyes red. Keny immediately broke the chains from the nymph's feet without hesitation. She levitated in the air, a yellow light radiating from her body, her eyes illuminated by white light. She then unleashed such a powerful light against the queen that she herself crumbled into white dust on the ground. After that, the mysterious nymph fainted and fell to the ground. The boys immediately ran to see what was happening and who was the one who had helped them.
However, she wouldn't wake up, so Lei had to use her healing magic on everyone.
- But why did she help us?
Mike asked.
- This is the true queen of the nymphs. Drumon said, carrying her and laying her down where he had been sleeping. And everyone was surprised.
How could that be the true queen of the nymphs?
- I'm lost, can you explain? Because if we just killed the queen of the dark nymphs, who is she? Keny asked, sitting down, confused and hungry.
Drumon sat in front of the fire and began to sharpen his sword.
Lei was restless beside Mike, and felt powerless because he couldn't help much, and Mike was eating an apple.
- Well, a long time ago, the kingdom of the nymphs was ruled by nymphs of light, but a very strong and greedy dark nymph rebelled against the kingdom. She wanted to be queen, and so she did, imprisoning the true queen and taking her place. Thus the streams of light were chained. The one who is unconscious is the true queen of the nymphs, according to Lord Hauk, she is the only one who had chains on her feet.
Drumon explained and the two boys were surprised.
- We have other missions ahead of us, besides freeing the elven prince, It was all written on the parchment, how come you couldn't read it?
Keny asked Mike and Lei.
- I guess it's because I fell asleep?
Mike replied, taking the parchment out of his leather pouch.
- And I, well, got lazy. Lei said, embarrassed, taking the parchment out of his pouch.
-Read it, we have important missions ahead of us.
said Drumon indifferently. The two boys, upon opening the scrolls, saw that there were more missions and predicted that it would take them a while to reach Seracy's kingdom. After a day unconscious, the queen of the nymphs awoke and, in the morning, smelled food on the fire.
-Look, she's awake!- said Lei. Drumon stood up, gathered vegetable soup, and took it to her.
-Your Majesty, forgive us, we failed the mission.
She smiled at Drumon.
- Actually, no. If it weren't for your sword strikes and your mage's light magic, I wouldn't have been able to defeat you. We succeeded together.
She looked at the other boys.
-Thank you very much, I am grateful to you. Now I can reclaim my kingdom. This lake is the entrance gate; below it lies the entire kingdom of the light nymphs- explained, and she ate the soup offered by Drumon.
- It's been a long time since I've eaten anything, in return, I offer you this.
She took a necklace with a red stone from her neck and attached it to Drumon's sword.
-This stone possesses infinite power, and I believe that you, brave warrior, are capable of using it.
-I will use it wisely, Your Majesty.
Drumon bowed, and the boys did the same.
- Now I will return to my kingdom. Farewell, brave warriors.
She bid farewell and emerged into the lake, which had been dark but soon lit up, radiating a light of magical power. Control was assumed, The boys continued their journey to their next mission.
