A Day of Secrets and Longing

Dear Diary,

The mysteries surrounding Luna Mount Palace and the tragic fates of Princess Luna, Princess Seraphina, and King Alexander are still swirling in my mind like a whirlwind of confusion and questions.

I couldn’t find any answers in the book about why Princess Luna would commit such a heinous act as killing her own father. Was it truly the prophecy coming true, or was there something more sinister at play? It’s hard to believe that a daughter could bring about the downfall of her own father, especially without any apparent reason.

Then there’s the matter of Princess Seraphina. It seems to me that she was the one who should have been protected by the queen, not Princess Luna. Could it be that the prophecy was misinterpreted, and Princess Seraphina was the true target all along? But if so, what became of her after the attempted sacrifice? Was she truly lost, or did she escape her fate somehow?

And what about the unborn child of Princess Luna and King Alexander? It’s baffling that there was no sign of the baby, especially considering Princess Luna was pregnant at the time of her death. Where did the child go? Did it vanish along with its father, or was there something more sinister behind its disappearance?

These questions fill my mind with uncertainty and unease. It’s as if the more I learn, the more mysteries arise. I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something dark and foreboding lurking beneath the surface of Luna Mount Palace’s history.

Today started like any other day, with classes and friends, but it quickly took a mysterious turn.

In Professor Xorki’s class, we learned about charms, which are spells that make things happen. It was a fascinating class, but my mind was preoccupied with the secrets I uncovered about Luna Mount Palace.

After class, I joined Albert and Lilith in the food yard. But before we could even sit down, Peter Skotmyr pulled me aside. He looked anxious and secretive, as if he was hiding from someone.

Peter whispered urgently, telling me that they were planning to break the pact, and that the grand jamboree would destroy everything. It was all so cryptic and alarming. He pressed a ghostly golden skull key into my hand, as if it held the key to stopping this catastrophe.

When I asked how he knew all this, he confessed that he had been spying on me in the library cabinet, trying to determine if I was the right person to tell. He had overheard Headmistress Morgana and my father, King Benjamin, discussing something at Xenon Tower. Peter believed that I could help deliver a message to Master Wigweard about the pact and the hidden agenda of the king and headmistress.

I was stunned by Peter’s revelations. It felt like the weight of the entire realm was resting on my shoulders. I didn’t have much time to process it all before Peter disappeared, leaving me with more questions than answers.

Once again, Sir Reynard’s name surfaced, but it remained a mystery. I knew I had to talk to Professor Xorki about everything Peter had told me. Albert and Lilith found me afterward and asked where I was going. I couldn’t tell them the truth, so I lied, saying I didn’t understand something in class and needed to see Professor Xorki.

I found Professor Xorki in his nook, looking worried and preoccupied. When I asked him about it, he brushed off my question and motioned for me to sit down. I recounted everything Peter Skotmyr had told me and showed the professor the key Peter had given me.

Professor Xorki’s expression darkened as he listened. He closed the door and warned me not to speak of this to anyone else. I pressed him further about Sir Reynard, the mysterious figure Peter had mentioned, and the ring inscribed with his name in the headmistress’s office. The professor’s shock was evident, he revealed that Sir Reynard was once a powerful wizard, a friend of King Mahendra Raj of India. After a great battle, they were imprisoned, but Sir Reynard managed to escape, disappearing without a trace. But King Mahendra Raj couldn’t.

I asked if Albert and Lilith could join us, but Professor Xorki refused, emphasizing the importance of secrecy, especially without Master Wigweard’s permission.

Then, he inquired if I had read the letter from my grandmother yet. I confessed that I hadn’t found the time. The professor sighed, clearly troubled by the turn of events. He spoke of plans gone awry and the need for caution in the face of impending danger and warned me to stop Peter from making any rash moves.

We discussed Peter’s involvement, an orphan who lost his parents in the great battle, belonged to the school now. How his heart was filled with love despite his belonging to unknown dark shadowy forces. It saddened me to think of Peter, alone and caught in the midst of such turmoil.

As the conversation came to a close, Professor Xorki spoke of the Obliterators’ imminent return and the uncertainty that hung in the air like a heavy fog. We could only hope that they wouldn’t find what they were searching for.

After leaving Professor Xorki’s nook, I went to find Lilith and Albert. They were still engrossed in their plans for the jamboree, but I couldn’t bring myself to take any action against Professor Xorki’s advice. We discussed the upcoming event, but deep down, I longed to share the burden weighing heavily on my heart.

I miss Adam more than words can say. If he were here, he’d look into my eyes and understand my pain. Oh, how I wish he were here…

The thought of Adam makes my heart ache with longing. He was my best friend, my confidant, and my rock. His absence leaves a void in my life that nothing else can fill. I remember the times we spent together, laughing, talking, and dreaming of the future. Adam was always there for me, offering comfort and support when I needed it most.

But now, he’s gone, lost in some dark forest, a prisoner of unknown forces. I can’t help but wonder if he’s safe, if he’s okay. Does he think of me as much as I think of him? I hope he knows that he’s always in my thoughts, that I’ll never stop searching for him.

The ache in my heart grows with each passing day. I wish I could tell Adam how much he means to me, how much I miss him. But for now, all I can do is hold onto the memories we shared and hope that one day, we’ll be reunited.

Until then, I’ll carry on, trying to be strong in the face of adversity. I’ll lean on Lilith and Albert for support, knowing that they’re there for me just as Adam always was.

Miss you a lot, Adam…

Yours in longing,
Zoe
