The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 152
The following day.
Sabrina woke up to the sight of the sun rays entering the shut window of her pink room.
Yaay! It’s already morning!
She left the bed and rushed to the window, opening it wide. She looked heavenward and smiled after seeing the sun shining brightly in the sky above.
She knew that this is only an illusion but it looks so real! She’s back in the human world, no longer in a desolate place. At least, this kind of environment that she’s enjoying right now is ten times better than the previous one.
She left the window and went to the table, the fruits are still there! Awesome!
She thought the fruits will disappear the moment she will wake up this morning. She picked up one orange, removed the skin then went back to the window and eat there while watching the morning pass by before her very eyes.
She looked at the birds chirping merrily in the branches. The gentle breeze of the wind caresses her face gently.
She went back to the table and picked up one red apple and began munching on it.
After she finished eating the apple, she went to the door and exited. She strolled in the mini forest looking for something to do to occupy her mind.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a lady with long white hair sitting on the wooden bench at the back of the tree. “Oh, who’s that!?” she said. She feels excited to know that she’s not alone in the mini forest.
She rushed to the lady. “Hello… it’s nice to see you here! I’m glad there is another soul here, I can finally have someone to talk to!” she said energetically.
The white-haired woman in her late fifties looked at her and smiled. “Come… sit here beside me…” she said softly, patting the area beside her.
Sabrina lowered herself on the chair. “Who are you? What is your name? My name is Sabrina… nice meeting you!” she said cheerfully.
The woman looked at her and smiled brightly. “Just call me Grandma. Do you like this place?” she asked, bypassing the girl’s other question.
Sabrina released a deep sigh. “I want to go home… but that is impossible right now,” she said sadly.
“Why would you want to go home? Do you call that inn a home?” the lady asked.
Sabrina’s brows knitted together, why does Grandma know about the inn? She cleared her throat. “Grandma, how did you know that I’m currently staying in the inn?” she asked, confused.
Grandma looked at her knowingly. “I know everything about you because I am the medallion hanging in your neck, what you see right now is my human form,” she replied.
Sabrina’s jaw hung open in shock. OMG! The medallion finally showed her human self!
She quickly dropped on her knees and looked at Grandma pleadingly in the eyes. “Grandma, please take me out of here! Please, returned me to the inn! I don’t want to be the guardian of the medallion. I want to live a normal life and be reunited with my beloved boyfriend Rhett!” she begged for her help and understanding.
Grandma shook her head. “It took me a long time to find you, and now that I finally found you, it’s only right that you will carry on with your responsibility as a guardian of the medallion,” she said.
A deep frown appeared on Sabrina’s face. “W-what responsibility?” she asked.
“You were stolen from your parent’s home in your crib when you’re still a baby, and taken to the human world. Then you were adopted by a human couple and the rest is history…” Grandma explained.
Sabrina’s eyes went huge in shock. ‘Y-you mean to say that my parents are still alive?” she asked apprehensively.
“Yes… You and I belong to a powerful race called the Pure White Breed. We live in another dimension and the human race doesn’t know we existed. Yet every time the human world is plunged into chaos, we are always willing to lend a helping hand to save and protect them against thier powerful enemies. It’s a promise that our great ancestor had pledged to the humans thousand years ago,” Grandma elaborated further.
Sabrina was stunned by Grandma’s revelation.
“My soul is forged in this medallion, we are one. Every time the world’s safety threatened by dark powerful enemies, all the retired guardians and the medallions scattered everywhere in this planet will gather hand in hand to fight the forces of evil. I am the grandmother of all medallions…” Grandma added.
“Oh…” Sabrina can only stare at the woman in astonishment. Wait… was this woman lying to her that her real parents are still alive?
Grandma looked at Sabrina. “What-? Are you still doubting my words? Your hair is white and my hair is also white… It doesn’t mean anything to you?”
Sabrina sighed. She almost has forgotten that the medallion and the guardian have access to her mind and thoughts. “C-can I see my parents? Please?” she requested.
Grandma smile. “Sure! I’ll take you there to our place anytime so that you can also meet a lot of people like you and me,” she replied.
“Nice! Can we go there now? I’m excited to meet my parents!” Sabrina beamed enthusiastically.
“Alright, as you wish!” Grandma said. She extended her hand. “Take my hand and I’ll take you there to our place called Ethereal Dimension.”
Sabrina quickly placed her right hand in the hands of the mysterious lady.
Grandma waved her hand in front of them. Suddenly… a circle opening appeared in the middle of the forest. It’s like a portal door to the other dimension. “Let’s go now, my dear. The portal will bring us to our destination,” she said.
“Okay,” Sabrina said and they walked towards the portal.
The women entered the opening.
A few seconds later, the portal disappeared from the forest.
In the passageway of the portal.
Sabrina found themselves standing above a cluster of clouds that moves steadily in one direction, going west. “This is nice! Like a magic carpet ride!” she enthused. Then her smile faded after she remembered her friend Ivy.
Grandma looked at her and noticed the sadness in her eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Sabrina shook her head. “Nothing…” she said and looked below. She saw towering trees, mountains, and rivers. This place is the same in the human world. “Are we still far, Grandma?” she asked.
“Not so far… we’re almost there…” Grandma replied.
A few minutes later.
Sabrina saw a silver tower in the distance. It has a wide platform that looks like a landing area. She saw several clouds landing on it along with their passengers. Then the white-haired people entered a room, the walls are made of transparent glass, and they disappeared inside.
The cloud landed on the landing area.
“We’re finally here! Welcome to the Ethereal Dimension, dear!” Grandma said.
Sabrina smiled. “Thank you, Grandma! I’m excited to see my parents!” she raved happily.
“Of course, you will see them soon!” Grandma replied.
They walked towards the transparent-looking room and entered inside.
The area inside was wider and the whole place was floating in the sky.
There are lots of chariots in all sizes and shapes parking nearby, some are hovering in the air in all directions. The dominant colors of the chariots are white, silver, gold, and rich cream. All the horses are white and they can fly in the sky!
Fantastic!
Such a mind-blowing world.
This place is magical! She’d never seen anything like it before! The whole place looks like it only existed in a fairy tale and her imagination.
She can’t believe this place is real!
Grandma pointed at the golden chariot parking nearby. “That’s our vehicle that will bring us to the palace,” she said.
The women entered the golden chariot. It slowly took off and hovered in the air – going southbound.
Sabrina raised a brow, she was confused. “Grandma, why are we going to the palace? Aren’t we supposed to see my parents?” she asked, confused.
“Yes. Your parents live in the palace…” Grandma replied.
“Really-? My parents live in the palace as the King and Queen’s servants?” Sabrina asked.
“No, the current king and Queen are your grandparents. Your parents are the 5th on the line to the throne, they are the Prince and Princess of the Mystic Snow Region in the Ethereal Kingdom,” Grandma explained.
Stunned, Sabrina’s eyes widened in surprise. “OMG! My parents are royalty-? I can’t believe it!” she said, shaking her head in disbelief. She spent her growing up years wondering who her real parents are? And now she was told that her parents are alive and they are Prince and Princess of the Ethereal Kingdom.
She massaged her temple, she feels like her mind would explode due to so much information that she has received today. Her system was overwhelmed with too much information.
Grandma looked at her companion. “Are you okay, dear?” she asked worriedly.
“Yes. I’m just having a headache right now after discovering my true identity. All the information you told me is too much for my poor mind to process,” Sabrina answered.
Grandma smiled. “Ah, okay… close your eyes and rest for a while. I will wake you up when we already arrived at the palace,” she said and waved her hand, putting Sabrina into a deep sleep.
“Okay,” Sabrina murmured and closed her eyes.
A few minutes later, she had fallen asleep deeply, her head rested comfortably on Grandma’s shoulder.
Grandma waved her hand, a messenger bird landed on her lap. “Go and inform the palace that I finally found the missing Princess!” she said.
The golden bird flew away, going south in the direction of the palace.
