Chapter 66 - The Princess with the Unusual Heartbeat

Volume 66

Those creatures are born of magic. We have to leave this forest as soon as possible. Said Diana. Perhaps, the forest is cursed. Answered Lex. You're right. Mutters an ugly witch with wrinkles and spots on her face as she appeared in their midst in an intimidating demeanour. 

Who are you? Asked Anastasia. You don't know me? I thought you were the smartest one in the group… quite disappointing. She begins to laugh mockingly. I've cursed this forest and no mortal who steps foot into this forest will ever leave here alive. You don't intimidate us ugly witch! Exclaimed Lucas. You're trying our patience! Witch shouted angrily. How about I send you all to dooms day! She taps the tip of her fingers as just then, thousands of ugly looking monstrous creatures appeared in their midst as they attacked them. Anastasia exclaimed. There're so many of them! What do we do?! Lex thought for a while then whispers to the others. If the creatures draw their energy and form from the witch, then we have to kill her to free ourselves. How do we get rid of her? Said Lancelot. Through magic. Answered Lex. I need your help, Diana. Try to distract her with your magic while I aim for her neck. Diana nodded as she approaches the witch with her magical staff. Why don't you try picking on someone your own size, witch! She mocks her. You look like a chipmunk to me, ugly witch! Witch Furious. How dare you compare me to a chipmunk?! She releases fire from her hands as she aims it towards Diana who quickly dodges her attack. She heaved a sigh of relief. That was a close one. The witch continues to attack her vigorously as she keeps defending herself. Letting her guide down, Lex appeared from behind the witch as he cuts of her head. The others feel disgusted at the sight. The monstrous creatures immediately vanished into thin air. Anastasia exclaimed. We did it! Lex smiled. Yes, we did. It's late. Said Lancelot. Let's head back to the castle. We have a ball to catch. The others follow along as they take their leave walking away from the forest.
