21h. The Inevitable Shining at the End of the Darkness!
|
After many perilous twists and turns, Rosella’s eyes caught sight of something she never thought she would
live to see. The other side of the cave! She could see the light cascading in, and the sound of the waterfall
outside filled her ears with such joy! She did everything in her power not to run for the exit, knowing that she
was still in danger while in the cave. After all, the troll could pop up at any moment! Fortunately for the
young princess, she avoided such a fate once again, and breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped through the
exit of the cave.
Upon leaving the cave, she found herself behind a great waterfall. The mist moistened her hair and dress, but
it felt so good and clean, she hardly cared after the stagnation of the air in the swamp and the smell of death in
the troll’s cave.
“We did it!” exclaimed the excited princess referring to their success in crossing the dangerous path behind
them. But the fairy Jenna did not reply. As Rosella turned her head this way and that… Jenna was nowhere
to be found. Where could she have gone? Did she go back into the cave or fly off somewhere else? The
answer was not certain. Rosella shivered with a touch of confusion at the thought, but ultimately decided it
would not be the last time she met up with the helpful fairy. Surely their paths would cross once again.
Rosella looked at the leather pouch containing the mummy’s crypt key as she remembered her task at hand.
Jenna told her Lolotte locked Cupid’s magic bow in the crypt after Rosella had tried to kill her with it during
her last adventure in Tamir. The evil witch certainly did not want the bothersome princess to find herself in
possession of the powerful magic ever again.
It was up to Rosella to find a way to retrieve the magic bow, discover the mystery surrounding Edgar’s
sudden turn to the side of evil, and vanquish Lolotte once and for all. With the weight of her quest before her,
Rosella stepped into the pool behind the falls, and allowed herself to be pulled into the powerful flow of
water, dragging her down and spitting her out on the other side into the land of Tamir…
