The Baltic Meadows.
I imagined it to be like those places on Earth where the grass stretched as far as the eyes could see, its flora a variety of colors, clear blue skies, and
fresh air. When we arrived, I found that it was exactly what I imagined it to be and more. So much more.
Instead of plain green grass, the meadow here had a metallic attribute. When my heeled shoes touched the ground, it emitted a shimmering rainbow
color, spreading around me and gradually fading. For a moment, I really thought I was in dreamland until I touched the grass and found it was real
and as solid as my body.
The air was clean and slightly cold despite the glaring sun—the sun that actually had light blue halos around it. This was a key reminder I wasn’t on
Earth anymore.
Facing north, I could only see hills upon hills of meadows. Turning west, the meadow broke and revealed snowy mountains. In the south, it exhibited
rocky terrain, a little greenery, and a narrow road that we just traversed.
Looking at the east, the meadow disappeared into a thick forest; a variety of trees could be seen that closely resembled pine, mahogany, and
sycamore on Earth. Some trees jutted out from the border of the forest shading a clearing. This was where our lunch was conveniently set-up.
“I hope you enjoy your meal with this view, ladies,” Prince Elijah informed, a proud grin appearing on his lips.
Rhea and I smiled.
He offered an elbow to her and she held it without hesitation. They threaded through the meadow with me behind them this time. I was left on my
own, out of place, and yeah, lonely, but I didn’t mind at all.
I was cool with it. This way I got to admire the place all the more.
“Is this area still part of Phanteon too?” I asked once we arrived in the shaded area. Here, the air was cooler and the view was even better, boasting a
different angle of the meadows and the mountains.
Prince Elijah, as expected of him, executed a gentlemanly gesture. He pulled Rhea’s chair first and allowed her to sit on it before looking at me.
“Yes,” he said in a heartbeat, but then, he paused and considered something. “Well, sort of,” he continued. “This is a border actually between
Phanteon and Ehnrelil, Queen Serena.”
“Ehnrelil?” My forehead creased.

“The realm of the faes. That is why the meadow here has a magical quality to it.”
Wow. Inside, my heart was jumping. Faes...fairies...they are real!
“So I take it we could easily cross to that realm if we want to?” I rushed to say whilst sitting on my seat.
I genuinely wanted to know not only because I was an avid fan of Fantasy, but because it concerned me and my pending return to Earth.
Prince Elijah somehow chuckled at my question.
“Ah no, it doesn’t work like that, Queen Serena.”
He rounded the table and pulled back his own chair on Rhea’s left.
“Aside from a few individuals who had the ability to realm hop, like my brother as you may know now, we have guardians for the job. With their
permission, they could open a portal to let you in and out of the realms.”
“Like Farryl and Kerus?” I asked abruptly.
Sitting down and facing me, he appeared surprised all of a sudden.
“Where did you learn those names?” he asked; his shoulders stiffening.
I remembered my time in the vampire realm and answered him without hesitation, “I happen to overhear them in a conversation when I was in Lord
Hale’s residence.”
He relaxed and leaned back against his chair.
“Kerus is the guardian of the vampire realm, the Kingdom of Viacronis. He is a reasonable man, but my brother and I tend to be wary of him.”
The servants started coming with hot plates of food of different kinds and cold bubbling drinks in a slender glass. Prince Elijah didn’t mind the
nuisance and just continued.
“Farryl is the guardian of the werewolf realm—our realm. Since my brother hated women, she avoids him and in effect, dislikes him too. She doesn’t
really help much in the kingdom except on a few trades with the other realms.”
“Could I meet this Farryl one day?” I asked in a heartbeat.
Prince Elijah leaned in and narrowed his eyes at me.

“To tell you honestly, I actually expected she had already introduced herself to you considering the mysterious circumstances of your appearance in
our realm. She actually didn’t?”
“No,” I hurried to say, and then blinked, wondering the question myself too. “Well, none that I’m aware of.”
“That’s rather unheard of,” he said, shaking his head as if he couldn’t believe my words. “Anyway, if you wish to meet her, I’ll try and contact her. I’m
sure she will oblige. You are the Queen of Phanteon after all.”
I just shrugged my shoulders. “I will wait until then.”
After our serious talk, we started eating. Prince Elijah was thoughtful enough to explain most of the dishes that were laid on the table. Apparently,
some of them were specialties in the realm and some were sourced outside Phanteon. All were good to eat just like the ones I tasted back in my
wedding.
Once our meal was over, we decided to admire the view again.
“Go ahead, I don’t mind being left here,” I stated when I overheard Prince Elijah invite Rhea for a short walk. “You two enjoy your time together.”
“We won’t be far, Serena,” Rhea stated, nodding at me.
I flashed a smile.
“I know.”
Since I had extra time, I took the liberty of touring the other side of the meadow on my own. This side was mostly covered by trees; huge ones with its
leaves turning to roofs.
Sunlight still touched the forest floor; however, it looked as though most of the light came from a certain area.
I narrowed my eyes at that said area behind thick trunks and protruding roots. The way it was hidden from view got me increasingly curious.
Slowly, I neared the glow, touching the trunks and branches for support while my other hand held the hem of my gown.
To my astonishment, what welcomed me behind the trunks was a beauty far from anything I had seen on Earth. It was a lake and it was glowing gold.
Around it was icy blue flowers that looked like diamonds and hovering near these flowers were winged bugs unusual to me. It wasn’t the same bug I
saw last time, but it sure was glittering too with rainbow colors.
The water was crystal clear and it was so placid I thought it was just a mirror. Sunlight still passed through the roof of leaves, but the light was almost
overlapped by how bright the golden lake was.

I was mesmerized by what I saw.
“Oh yes, I could stare at this lake all day,” I murmured to myself, sighing, and yes, I would have done so if not for a sudden headache shooting from
my nape up to my temporal.
“Oww...” I groaned, falling to my knees and pressing my palm against my forehead.
The pain was the same as last time. It was just unbearable.
Grimacing, another bright white light appeared from behind my eyes. Just what this meant to me, I wished I knew. I hope it wasn’t a prerequisite to an
illness I might have gotten from my realm hopping...
Concerned that I’d end up unconscious in the forest, I decided to pull myself together and return to the lunch area. Surely, Prince Elijah and Rhea
would be able to help me with my pitiful state.
I walked and walked, groaning and gagging at the same time; trying to battle the intense pain I was feeling; trying to clear the pulsating bright light in
my mind, but as I dragged myself along the forest floor, I realized I had taken a wrong turn.
The path I took now was nowhere near the same as the one I threaded earlier. Anxiety and fear erupted inside me in an instant. I was completely lost
and in pain, literally.
Then, the sound of dry leaves crackling captured my attention. It was followed by a thud and a scraping of metal. Common sense told me it came
from a person, so since I was desperate to seek help, I dragged myself to the source of the sound. It was just behind a group of shrubbery and trees.
“Oh my G—” I gasped, quickly covering my mouth with both of my hands when I saw a frightening scene before me. Concerned with my safety, I
dropped to the ground too and hid behind the bushes, trying to keep my sorry ass from getting detected.
Anxiety and desperation managed to disappear inside me but it was unfortunately replaced by fear and panic.
In this realm...in this magical forest, never had I imagined I would witness a murder.
Yes, murder, and yes, I wasn’t kidding.
Through the bushes, I watched in horror as three women—with dirty clothes and bloody faces—lay lifeless on the ground. A cloaked person was
standing on top one of the three women, holding a sword that was embellished with red stones. It was dripping with blood and so was the cloaked
person’s right hand—a hand that I couldn’t delineate whether feminine or masculine.
The left hand however gave me an added fright. It was on fire, but it didn’t seem to hurt the cloaked person. It didn’t look like it burned its skin.

I remained as still as possible but God knew how much my hands shook.
“I got to get out of here,” I murmured, half grimacing with still the presence of my headache.
Out of fear from getting mixed up with a bad element, I slowly crawled away from the cover of the bushes. Sharp twigs and rough rocks hit my elbow
and knees. I grimaced. It was painful, yes, but not as painful as the throbbing of my head.
I looked pitiful, I was aware of it, but better this than ending up like those women.
Then, black boots materialized in my line of sight. My heart leaped. My eyes bulged. I felt a deadly chill ran down my back.
I realized then and there I was done for...
