Realm Of Death
Season 1, Episode 3

The witch of GrinderWald crouched over the Well of Vision and frowned. She struck the surface of the water and it splashed. She was annoyed and that caused for turbulent winds to blow violently. Her long beige hair which laid behind her back started to twitch. Thunder and lightning flashed across the skies.

Her hazel eyes glowed and a drop of blood rolled down her eyes. A servant in a full regalia appeared before her when he noticed the sudden tumult.

"What bothers the Great Witch of GrinderWald?" he asked tactfully.

The witch glanced at him.

"The Prince," he muttered.

"What happened to the Prince?"

Lucha moved away from the Well of Vision and sidled towards her servant.

"He's been captured by the Queen," she disclosed.

"That doesn't sound good," he said.

"Yes, we have to go the palace. King Arthur must know his son is in trouble," she murmured and started enchanting in an ancient language. A cold turbulent wind howled through the room and they vanished.

In a gigantic dinning hall, King Arthur, a tall middle-aged man clad in expensive regalia was drinking red wine. A ravishing lady of about twenty two was chewing fried chevon. Three servants were serving them. Two armed guards stood in poise guarding the door.

Lucha and her servant appeared causing everyone to stare. The King was surprised to see the Witch at the palace.

"What brings the Great Lucha from her sanctuary?" Arthur asked anxiously as he flicked a speck of savoury on his cloth.

"The Prince has been captured by the Queen," she divulged.

The information jolted the princess and she puked on the floor.

"My brother has been captured?" She asked.

"Yes, Princess," Lucha said. Arthur was thunderstruck.

"This is all your fault, Dad," Godiva muttered, "If you hadn't asked him to go on that so-called expedition then none of this would have happened," she blabbered, crying uncontrollably.

"Stop your naivety, Godiva!" Arthur yelled and slammed the long table.

"Marris is next to heir. He must learn our ways before he's proclaimed king," he said.

"As far as I know Marris never wanted to be king. You coaxed him and now look at the consequences," she hissed and rose to her feet.

"If anything ever happens to my brother," she paused, and swallowed hard, "I will never forgive you, Dad!"

With this said, the princess ran across the long rug to the door and left the room. Arthur turned to face Lucha.

"Meghan wants war," he muttered, "and I will give her just that," he said between gritted teeth.
