About this ebook

Are you ready for an enchanted, but glorious journey? Even the thought of this is frightening to Amy, who will soon face a tremendous amount of challenges. Experience the true wonders of Amys journey as she walks into a never before discovered land and finds its amazing secrets. She will secure a great company who will help her along the way, but who can possibly be a better company than the one and only Prince of Elves himself?

Soon, Amy discovers an old, but terrifying curse that was spread over the land ages ago, and it will become up to her to face the challenges and save all who depend on her. The only question that remains: Will she be able to free the land of this curse before she becomes consumed into the darkness herself?

    Prologue

    I

    Scared. I am very scared. I am not even supposed to be writing this now. If Grandpa finds out, he will be very angry for sure. Well, I am very tired of this life anyway. Please do not be mistaken; I like life very much. The only problem is that things get out of hand sometimes and this makes me feel frustrated. But then I remember what my mother always used to tell me: Be strong, Amy, no matter what. This is very hard to do, though. I, personally, have not met anyone who can be strong all the time. We all need a break from the hardships of life. But I think it is important to choose the kind of break wisely and consider the consequences. After all, breaks only last for a very short time, and if it has not been chosen wisely, it will cause regret for the rest of one’s life. For example, I did not enjoy my summer break when I was younger, and I am now regretting every single lost second of it, but unfortunately time has no return or exchange policy.

    Oh, no. I’m hearing footsteps. It must be Grandpa.

    II

    He is gone again. He left for work this morning and will not return until tonight, which is relieving to me because I can write freely while he is gone, but I also have to finish the assigned portion of my daily work. He always forces me to do my academic work on a very tight schedule and leaves no room for anything, except for studying or mental exercises. Unbelievable, you may think. It is true, I have gained some weight as well, but Grandpa ignores it. He tries to avoid the truth because he feels guilty about it. Also, my daily schedule is hilarious. After breakfast, the day starts with a tough game of chess with Grandpa, followed by a detailed study of science, including biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. Finally, the rest of the day will be spent by studying mathematical concepts, such as algebra, geometry, and calculus, and of course, all of these courses are studied at an advanced level. Sometimes when I am lucky enough and Grandpa is in a good mood, he allows me to work in the science lab, yet all I am allowed to do there is to repeat the old scientific experiments that I have already done before. He never allows me to try anything new: No improvising, young lady, he always says. Studying all these endless courses makes me tired at times, but I have learned to be submissive about it because whenever I ask him if there is anything else that I could do, he always places another pile of work in front of me, and says with a wide grin, Of course! Dig in! And when I get bored and start complaining, he becomes very angry at me. I never know why he is angry all the time, for I have never left this house much farther than the garden. I have always been listening to him and obeying every single request of his, so I cannot understand his anger and sorrow.

    I tend to get tired of him sometimes, but then I remind myself that I have no one else except him and that maybe it is time to get used to him and accept him the way he is. What bothers me more than anything else is that he expects me to do all of the hard work, and all he does is switch his seat from behind the computer screen to the television set when he is at home. When he is in the right mood, he cooks dinner, but usually all our food is bought from the fast food stores. You may wonder how I am still alive when I eat these types of food everyday and do not exercise at all. The truth is that I try to exercise, as often as I can, even if that means for two or three minutes a day. Also, whenever he is not looking, I slip out of the house and into the garden to pick some fresh, lovely strawberries and blueberries since these two are the only fruits growing in our humble, small garden. I have seen him gathering the berries, washing them, and sometimes even drying them, but he’s never offered one to me. As a young child, I used to stare at the berries outside and wish that I could taste one, but whenever I asked him if I could have any, he snapped at me angrily and said: Don’t you know nothing? These berries are poisonous. You wanna get sick or die? Only later did I understand that he had been selling the berries
