Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

"Click!!" The guards sealed shut the door behind us as we walked in. I picked up a fire torch hanging on the wall and led the way down the stairs.

"My Queen, let me hold that for you?" Gideon requested.

I nodded. I gave him the fire torch, and we both walked down the narrow stairs until we reached the last floor with three routes in front of us.

"This way" I picked the left path and strolled in almost instinctively, dragging along Gideon who was still clueless about whatever was happening.

And soon, we reached the end of the corridor.

Strange. Something strange was going on. Why aren't there guards here?

I was sure. No! I assumed that there were supposed to be guards positioned around here.

"Is something wrong, my Queen?" My immaculate butler, Gideon questioned, dragging me out of my thoughts.

"Gideon, aren't there supposed to be guards there?" I responded.

I watched as he furrowed his brows in confusion. "For exactly what reason, my Queen?" He asked.

"Isn.." I opened her mouth and immediately closed it. For some reason, I can't remember. I could not remember anything.

"Ahem!" I cleared my throat and posed him another question "Gideon, who exactly am I?".

He responded "You are Queen Mavena Valor, the only daughter of the former late king Valor the second. Titled by foes and friends as the Miracle Queen" Even with confusion apparent in his expression, he asked, "But why are you asking me such a question, my Queen".

"I.." I paused. I inhaled deeply and exhaled. The whitish fog escaped from my lips as I asked "And why was I called the miracle Queen?"

I stared at him and watched as his brow furrowed once more

"Isn't that obvious?" He responded "You were and still are the only one capable of stopping the curse of the 'Moonlight's ice' from penetrating the Vrymath Kingdom. Together with your good heart, you granted the neighbouring kingdoms asylum in yours, And so you were named the Miracle Queen. A title that was given by others to you for doing the impossible".

I took a deep breath one more time and exhaled.

"And how did I stop the Moonlight's ice?" I questioned. I felt my hands twitch uncontrollably for a moment as I asked that simple question.

He didn't respond. Gideon -My aged butler stared at me with a worried expression "Is there anything wr…"

"Just answer the question!!" The words came out of my lips more loudly than I had expected. Nonetheless, I still needed to know "Just answer the question! How did I stop the moonlight's ice?"

"You…." His words were stuck in his mouth "You did it by…" And somehow, I had expected it.

"Gideon?"

"Yes, my Queen" He bowed.

"Do you remember how I stopped the Moonlight's ice? Or do you not know of it?" Somehow, I could already guess his answer.

However, only after a few seconds of scouring his mind for answers did he respond "I do not know of it, my Queen". He raised his head and stared at me before he bowed down once more in a fluid motion.

"Forgive me, my Queen. But it seems that I have never asked. But please, tell me, how did you stop the Moonlight's ice and protect the Vrymath kingdom from its scourge?"

Now, I was sure of it. The fear. The feeling that something wasn't right rang deeper in my mind. Even the itch in my head that rampaged whenever I tried to wonder why, confirmed my worries.

"Gideon?" I spoke. I didn't respond to his question.

"Yes, my Queen" Gideon strengthened his back and responded.

"Open the door" I replied. Something didn't feel right, and I felt that through this door, I would know why?

I breathed loudly, watching as he hesitated before walking towards the door to open it.

"Click!! Bang!!" He forced the handle to open, and paused "My Queen" He turned towards me and stared at me with me a concerned gaze.

"Open it" I repeated. No matter what, nothing was stopping me from seeing what was behind this door.

Gideon nodded in affirmation and pulled the door open.

"My Queen" His outstretched arm blocked my entrance into the room. "Let me go in first" He requested. But, his stern voice made it hard for me to deny his request.

"Okay" I noted. I knew that he was doing this all for my safety, so there was no need for me, not to let him.

He widened the door enough for a single person to pass through, picked up another fire torch that hung from the wall and lit it up before he handed the other one to me and proceeded to walk through the door.

"Hahh!" I didn't know when it started, but my breathing hitched. My heart drummed rapidly non-stop.

What's happening in there?

Why hasn't he called out for me yet? Mayb --

"My Queen!! You can come in!!"

My heartbeat fastened.

I grabbed the door and let the fire touch brighten up the way forward as I walked in. I wanted to know what was going on!

I needed to know why I suddenly felt like something was not right!

I needed to --

"My Queen!" Gideon called out for my attention and immediately arrived by my side.

However, I didn't respond to him as my eyes flickered all around the room, and my racing heart came to a sudden halt.

"There is nothing here" I muttered.

"Yes, my Queen, there is nothing here" Gideon repeated my words. His firm voice bounced off the barren room as opposed to mine.

"There is nothing here".

"Yes, my Queen" He nodded in affirmation.

How? This can't be right! It can't be!!

How was there nothing here?

Several countless thoughts raced through my mind as my leg sprang to life by itself and began to stroll forward.

How?

The fire torch lightened up the path in front of me, and I could see the cobwebs hanging from the pillars combined with the dusty dirty ground that imprinted the shape of my footstep as I walked forward.

How?

I raised the fire torch and pointed towards the large circular platform in front of me. My heart skipped a beat, as a foreign image appeared in front of me and overlapped against my vision.

Again, my heart skipped a beat.

How?

I used my other hand to wipe my eye clean. No, this wasn't real!

I walked forward and didn't stop until I was right on top of the platform.

The world in my vision spun. My eyes turned weak and my vision was unstable. "AHHHH…" I screamed.

"MY QUEEN!"

Before I knew it, I fell off the platform, as though something had pushed me off. It was strange, and most of all, it felt real.

I sunk my hands into my hair and mumbled 'But, how is that possible?'

"My Queen! Are you alright?" Gideon caught my body and gently placed me on the ground.

"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?" I screamed. I ignored his question and yelled at the platform in front of me.

Something doesn't feel right! And this time, I couldn't also feel it, but I knew it!

"I-I thi-ink here isn't safe for you anymore my Queen! We have to go now!!" Gideon said. He voiced out his concern for my well-being, and when I glanced at his face, I could tell that he was beginning to doubt my sanity.

But I wasn't crazy... H-He just couldn't see it! H-He was the one that couldn't tell the difference!!

An image overlapped over my vision again. I touched my forehead and felt the bulging veins around it

I shook Gideon's hands and stood up on my feet.

"My Queen!" I ignored his call and walked towards the nearest pillar.

"This!" I placed my hands on the pillar, and a vision flashed along with my heartbeat "This! Right on this pillar, there were chains, enormous chains tied around it" I walked to the next pillar "And this one too" I moved on to the next pillar "And this one too" I moved to the next.

"And this!"

"And this!"

"And this!" I stopped. My eyes flickered restlessly around the massive circular platform, and I could now discreetly see the unknown image superimposing upon my current vision.

I walked towards the platform, climbed on it and stood at its edge.

"My Queen" I could hear Gideon's consoling voice behind me, but that didn't matter to me right now, because the image in front of me was getting clearer and clearer.

"Ah!" I collapsed kneel first on the ground and held my head in pain. Cold. I suddenly felt cold. My body felt like it was freezing. This cold… It felt… different.

My vision changed "Cold!" I muttered in surprise as I saw the scene around me change rapidly until what was left was a frozen and snowy room.

I couldn't see Gideon. I have already turned around to check, but he wasn't there. I was all alone. All.... alone in this frozen snowy room.

I froze.

Suddenly, it hit me. How did snow get into this room? Weren't we several floors below the castle? So ho --
