The Lost Princess : Volume 7 of 7

Keys turn ... The world splinters for the Princess ... The guards and the King rush in ... The knife is taken by the guards ... The King grabs his Queen and drags her behind the bed ...

A great gust of wind bursts through the windows and the Dark Lady screams of her children. She annihilates the guards, and grabs Zelia by the throat ... dragging her to the rooftops, destroying everything in her way ...

Meanwhile, back in T'Nanshi, the Council decides to hide the bottles and the keys. The keys are broken into three pieces each, and these are hidden in everyday objects and scattered so the princess cannot find them and open the bottles. Three hiding places are found, and guardians are set to protect them. Eem herself, her mother, and her mother's sisters volunteer ... it should not be for long ... just until they are assured that Zelia will not be coming. Scouts and sages are sent to Toostan to give warning.

The Dark Lady casts ... And through every ounce of her dark magic she -

- shifts -

and is in a hidden place of dreams with the Princess. A vial she produces, she screams of a fate well matched for what Zelia has done to her children ... she cuts the Princess, dripping her blood into the vial, and seals it in the bottle with a powerful curse ... that she will only be free if one pure of heart drinks from the vial of blood. She sets the Princess to sleep then ... for she dare not kill her ... in case the bond with her children severs their lives.

She double curses that the princess, should she be awakened, will relive the nightmare of her life over and over and over again ...

The Dark Lady curses Wilsash in that place of Dreams. He is not pleased. He claims her life then and there and hides the vial of blood in the world ... waiting for it to one day be found ...

Where it was ... by a young orc warrioress named Yenefer ....
