situation and that you needed our help,” replied Beatrix.
“She also told us that you are our long lost cousin,” exclaimed Jade happily.
“Yes, I am. My father is related to your mom, and it was explained to me that he is her brother.”
“It’s so cool to find out that we have a cousin who is such a brave warrior.
“Well, when you go into battle, you have to be brave, or else you will be defeated forever.
“Will you teach us how to fight, please?” asked Jade in excitement.
“Of course I will, but first we need to get you girls home.”
Beatrix then thought about home, and was dreading it. She knew they were not supposed to leave the castle, no matter what. Now their punishment was going to be extended, but she did not say anything to Jade about it. She did not want Jade to worry, especially if she had forgotten about it.
Tika then jumped onto C.B. Avalon’s back and helped the girls up in front of her and took the reins. They headed off towards Beatrix’s and Jade’s castle.
An hour later Tika helped the girls down as King Phoenix and Queen Missy came running. It was obvious that King Phoenix was furious with the girls, but Queen Missy was relieved to see that they were home again, safe and sound.
“Where have you been?” bellowed the king.
“Sorry, daddy, but Tika needed our help. Layla visited yesterday morning and told me that Tika needed rescuing,” cried Beatrix, now in tears.
“Please daddy, we did not mean to run off again, but Tika needed our help,” cried Jade, also with tears running down her cheeks.
Even Tika jumped off C.B. Avalon’s back to confront the king, and explained her whole situation and what had happened to her parents and their castle.
The king was now calm, but sad to hear what had happened to his wife’s brother. He put his arms around his wife when she began to cry. She had not spoken to her brother since her argument with him many years before. It was just before the girls were born. They argued until they found themselves disowning one another, because they never saw eye to eye on things. She remembered the whole incident just like it was yesterday, and now she will never see her brother again.
King Phoenix then coaxed the girls and his wife into the castle after inviting Tika and C.B. Avalon inside. He spoke with the girls in one room while Tika and C.B. Avalon were guided into the family room by one of the servants.
“You two had us extremely worried. We are not happy that you went against our word, but it was for the sake of Tika’s safety and wellbeing,” said the king, now calm.
“We’re sorry daddy. We won’t do it again,” replied Beatrix, as she looked up at the king with sad eyes.
“I will not add to the punishment this time around, but if there is ever a situation where someone needs rescuing, please let us know. If I am not able help, I will send a couple guards with you, okay? Is that clear?”
“Yes, daddy,” replied both girls with relief.
“Now girls, you mentioned Layla’s name. Why did you bring her up? You know she has been dead for a couple of years now,” exclaimed Queen Missy, still saddened by the thought of her brother’s death and the mention of Layla’s name. “Come on girls, tell the truth. You could not have seen Layla since she passed on a year ago.”
“It’s true. I did see Layla early this morning. She was standing at the foot of my bed,’ exclaimed Beatrix.
Just then Layla appeared. The girls were glad that Layla showed herself, because it meant that what they were telling mom and dad was true. The king and queen were awe when they saw Layla hovering over them, smiling, and just as she appeared, she faded away.
Both parents were to see their beloved daughter, even if she was in spirit form. Tears rolled down their faces for a moment before they realized that they still had company in the family room waiting for them. The king regained his calm and wiped his eyes, and the queen did the same.
“Okay, girls let us go to the family room. Tika and C. B. are waiting for us,” said the king.
“Yes, daddy,” replied both girls.
Tika and C.B. Avalon were waiting patiently, sitting on a sofa by the fireplace. The king then offered them a room for as long as they needed until Tika’s castle was rebuilt. He also offered to help with the construction. He figured that since Tika was old enough to go into battle, then she was old enough to run a castle.
Beatrix and Jade were happy that Tika and C.B. Avalon were going to stay with them for a while. Now they would be able to get to know their newly found cousin and perhaps have her show them some battle techniques.
Later that night, when everyone was in bed, Layla paid Beatrix and Jade a visit once more. She wanted to let them know how proud she was of their courage and bravery, and to honor and thank them for rescuing Tika. Layla then gave each girls a kiss with a short sweep of her tongue onto their foreheads, before she faded away into thin air. Once she was gone, the girls said goodnight to one another and fell fast asleep.
