[-In the Ever Garden-]

At the kingdom of fairies …

​​

One of its magical place is the great waterfalls of Kawasan.

A place where one of the most powerful fairy sisters was tasked to guard.

Since one of the most treasured keys for portal to the kingdom of fairies was under the care of Princess Pearl, she was revered by many fairies.

Her wisdom and powers were sought by many supernatural beings.

But due to the difficulty of entering the kingdom of fairies and reaching out to the princess, it was a rare scene to see the princess helping someone else aside from the queen of fairies.

As they stood beside the small pond located just by the foot of the magical falls, Princess Pearl led her sister and Booth to it.

"I know you are in need of answers and help for your intention to rescue the next chosen one. She is … still alive but her life is hanging by a thread." Princess Pearl told her sister and Booth.

This made Booth more worried.

"Then, what are we doing here … stalling and wasting time? If you want to help then let's go already!" Booth expressed his impatience and eagerness to save Malia.

Magenta held Booth's hand and reminded him the value of patience and enough preparation.

"My sister is right, young man!" Princess Pearl agreed with Magenta's words.

"I am not a young man, please!"

"Your age is considered as a child here in our kingdom. So just be thankful that my sister called you young man." Magenta remarked at Booth.

She then continued to her older sister, "So what we must do now?"

Immediately, her older sister sat by the edge and reached for the waters.

And there it was …

The blue clear waters of the small magical pond gleamed brightly upon Princess Pearl's touch.

Seconds after, its waters reflected the image of Malia getting transported.

Then Princess Pearl performed ancient incantation towards the water.

Booth could not understand the language but the water seems to be following whatever Princess Pearl was reciting.

It showed things that Booth has no knowledge of and to his surprise those things came into existence.

Floated out of the water.

Turning into glowing dusts and Princess Pearl gestured for it to form into a magical dagger.

Upon its completion, it shone too bright for Booth's eyes to handle.

"There! It's done … you can have this …" Princess Pearl handed over the magical dagger.

In his confusion, he received the magical dagger first before asking anything.

"What's this for? I have my anti-magic weapon already." Booth curiously pointed out.

Even Magenta, the younger sister of Princess Pearl was curious at the purpose of the magical dagger as well.

The princess took a moment before responding to their queries.

"I made the needed magical dagger to allow her regain what she has lost and get her back from the darkness that has taken over. She is still alive … but the darkness has already taken over for her to survive from the supposed death."

"Darkness taken over? But we just saw her in the water contained in an ice. Is the ice which you meant for darkness? So this magical dagger will break that ice?" Booth assumed for the purpose of the magical dagger.

"No! The magical dagger must be plunged to her chest." Princess Pearl instructed.

"EXCUSE ME, WHAT?!?" Booth exclaimed.

He started to complain.

"Why would I harm the woman I love? Take this dagger back. I won't need it to get her back. Just lead me to her and that would be enough. I can save her without this!"

Magenta wanted to ask as well but her older sister explained.

"You must understand … Once she wakes up, she will no longer be the same woman. Her darkness will be more vicious than ever since this is her fourth transformation. Am I right?" Princess Pearl elaborated and mentioned about something not everyone was aware of.

His silence confirmed the statement of Princess Pearl.

"My sister's vision and wisdom is more pristine and powerful than any seer. If she says so then it is what it is …" Magenta reiterated to Booth.

"You will never have her back the way she was unless you stab her with this. I presume you only use the song of a royal siren. Because it is a rare power which removes darkness from its path." Princess Pearl revealed.

"What song of siren? We don't know any sirens!"

"The young half-breed siren … the woman she always protects! The one linked to her kin …" Princess Pearl furthered.

"Melody? You mean her voice? Yeah … I don't need this to return her back to normal. Once I find out her location, I will bring Melody with me and get Malia back." Booth informed the fairy with his plan.

"The problem is … she is under the shackles of a powerful Alpha King. Not even your genuine heart would allow you to even get near the siren blood. If you choose that path, your death will be certain because he will see your love for the woman he cares the most. You will be his worst rival and your death will be his success."

Somehow Booth understood the sense of it all, if he chooses to seek Melody's help.

"How did Melody got abducted?"

"It was her fate what brought her to the kingdom of werewolves. Since, time is of essence … that dagger is your only chance of retrieving the woman … you truly love!" Princess Pearl explained once more.

From that moment …

Everything became more difficult and cumbersome for Booth.

To plunge the magical dagger in the heart of the woman he loves …

To even cause pain or hurt her …

Was the last thing Booth wanted to do!
