Dona was in her room, the crystal ball in her hands. It was glowing.

Dona: Dontizu, I want to ask you something.

Dontizu: (Her face showed on the crystal) I hope you have brought me the stone. Do you have the stone with you?

Dona: Not yet, I haven't seen it yet. But that is not the reason why I called you, I have a question to ask you Dontizu.

Dontizu: Speak, I am listening.

Dona: The king told me a story why the Palace was called the Palace of Magic. I still don't get it . My questions is, who are those twins? Do you know them?"

Dontizu: I warned you never to believe or listen to what those humans told you. They are good in telling lies.

Dona: They are not humans. The father, the king in question is immortal just like us. In fact he is the son of one of the twins. So I ask again do you know them?

Dontizu: (Something flashed in her eyes that Dona didn't see) No!!! I don't know them.

Dona: Okay. Another question, does your magical stone you asked me to fetch for you looks like a heartstone?

Dontizu: Yeah, exactly like that.

Dona: Okay, you will hear from me soon. Bye ( the glowing stop)

*********

Dona was walking around the Palace stopping and checking every spot to see if she could find any strange thing when Tasha walked up to her.

Tasha: Good day my lady.

Dona: (Startled) Oh, it's you Tasha. (Looking around the Tasha) where is the princess, didn't she follow you?

Tasha: No she did not, she is sleeping, besides I came here on my own accord to discuss something important to you that will favour you.

Dona: (Frowning) Really? And what is that?

Tasha: Let's just say I know why  you are here.

Dona: I don't get you, what did you mean by that?

Tasha: What I meant is, I know the reason why you are really here.

Dona: (Laughing) Oh really? Then tell me.

Tasha: You are looking for the ancient heartstone.

Dona: (Surprised, shocked to her bones) How did you know? Who told you what I am looking for?

Tasha: (Laughing now) Well I know through my means and also let this be a warning to you to stay off from that stone.

Dona: (Getting back her confidence) And if I don't? Your threats are like dogs who can bark but can't bite.

Tasha: Only because they are in chains.

. A saying goes no one is as deaf as the man who will not listen. I hope you know what that means.

Dona: Of course I know and for the records I am not scared of you, because you don't know who you are talking too.

Tasha: Of course I know Dona, daughter of (Rolled her eyes) Dontizu. I know your mother. So if I were you, you should not test the patience of a Lion.

Dona: ( Shocked again) How did you know my mothers name? Who are you?

Tasha: Listen and listen carefully. Stay clear from that stone. I was here for it first, making it automatically mine. So better run off little girl while you still have time.

Dona: I am not scared of you. You don't scare me a bit you know.

Tasha: What a foolish girl you are, but anyways I have made my message clear to you. The princess should be waking up  any moment from now (Turned to go and stops) Oh tell your Mother (Drawing the word Mother) Dontizu that Tashania sends her greetings, bye. Enjoy your stay while it last, lost one. (Turning and went back into the Palace).

Dona: (Starring after Tasha) But how could she have escaped the visions of the Princess? And who was she referring to as Lost one? I need to speak to my mother for her to explain who the hell is Tashania.

(She quickly left for her room)
