PRINCESS AROMA- CHAPTER 04

           Chapter 04- The Journey to Ephedia 

       In a few weeks...Princess Aroma set off her Journey to a beautiful place named Ephedia. she have read a lot about it through the books in her library and always wanted to know how does it feel like to live in such a beautiful place.  Ephedia was known it's Gardanious nature which quite inspired a lot including the Princess.

            On her way through Aroland, she stopped for awhile and looked back at her Castle. A smile curved upon her lips. "i'm sure going to miss my land!" she exclaimed...

     A day passed by and the days turned into two and three, but still haven't reached Ephedia. The princess knew something was wrong, and soon realised that she have lost her way. Aroma was awfully disappointed yet, she didn't give up and decided to find her way out by herself.

Finally, The princess came across a dark and quite forest which frightened her. She took a deep breath and thought for awhile,before taking small steps into the forest. As she was walking, she suddenly winced in pain and looked down to her feet only to find out, that she had stepped on a thorn. She tried walking again but, she wasn't able to move an inch. She looked up at the sky and realised its midnight already. Hence she decided to spent the night at the forest...

       She knew it wouldn't be an easy task to spent the night in an uncomfortable dirty forest like this whereas she used to sleep in the finest mattresses back in Aroland. she saw a tree with a thick and long branch which was just perfect for her to sleep on. She somehow managed to get up on it and eventually fell asleep.

     She woke up the next day feeling something tickling on her flawless face. She fluttered opened her eyes, only to see a furry tail wiggling in front of her eyes. She tried to move but again felt something on her neck. slowly turning her head to the right to see a cute little squirrel sleeping peacefully on the crook of her neck. Being the naughty princess she is...she pulled it's tail up, making the poor creature wake up which caused her to giggle at the cute sight. "Hey buddy, did you have a good sleep?" she asked while carefully placing the squirrel on her side. but as soon as she did that, it ran away. she sat up straight and thought for awhile about how to reach Ephedia now.

                After awhile she cleaned herself and got changed. She took her things and once again started her journey, as she knew she couldn't just sit there thinking someone will come and help her. After walking for more than two hours, her legs got tired so as she. She took out some food from her bag as she got hungry..Since the food was from Aroland, it wouldn't get spoiled and last for a long time...She was about to sit down, sipping on her drink when she noticed a familiar tree Across her. She walked forward to get a closer look on it. soon she saw something carved on it. She dusted off the dust which covered the sight , and as she did....She got it! She saw a symbol which resembled her Diary cover.

      She quickly took her bag and started searching hoping she had took the book and soon she came across a Golden Brown shaded book with Enchanted works Engraved all over it. The book she have been looking for! She knew the book had something connected with the symbol hence, she sat there and started reading it. As she was flipping through the pages, she found the same symbol she saw earlier.

"A PLACE FILLED WITH FRAGRANCE,

  A PLACE TO BE CAPTURED, 

  BUT THE PRINCESS....

  MUST BE KEPT AWAY FOR THE GOOD!" She spelled out...
