The Trapped Princess
Yellow Mountain

Ara looked at a woman before her, her tears flowing back, without caring about the surroundings, Ara immediately ran over and hugged the woman before her, she vented all the emotions that had previously been stifled.

"Miss," said the woman softly in Ara's arms.

"Just for a moment, please let me be like this for a moment." said Ara as she sobbed.

The woman nodded slowly, and fulfilling Ara's request, she let Ara cry in her arms. He reached out his right hand and patted Ara on the back slowly, giving her a little support so that Ara could overcome her grief. Long Ara cried to make the woman's clothes wet.

"Is it not finished?" ask the woman curious.

As soon as Ara took off her arms and looked at the woman in front of her, "sorry, you look so much like my best friend, I thought she came to see me, but now I realize I was wrong to recognize you."

The woman in front of Ara seemed to be smiling knots, she thrusting a handkerchief at Ara.

"Thank you, " said Ara while receiving a white handkerchief embroidered with sunflowers at the four ends. Ara wiped the rest of her tears, she tried to catch her breath.

"You look more and more charming, miss."

Ara looked at the woman before her, initially thinking that the woman was a long-haired Vivi, but after observing Ara found some differences. The person before her was like a flower fairy in a fairy tale, extremely beautiful with long silver hair, bright brown eyes, and a long yellow dress attached to her body, making her look elegant and classy.

"I should have said so, sorry I was too impolite at the beginning of our meeting," Ara said, bowing slightly.

"No miss, I know your struggle is very hard, even if I am in your position now, I am not sure that I am still alive."

Ara took a short breath and looked into the eyes of the woman in front of her, "how can you know my struggle? I think we met for the first time today."

The beautiful woman smiled, "I can't explain it to you miss, but at least know that I will never harm you."

"How can you be sure of that? We don't know what's gonna happen next." Ara's mind and heart were just as turbulent, "because sometimes time can destroy one's beliefs."

The woman smiled again, "introduce me Hyana."

Ara looked at Hyana who was now extending her hand, Ara received Hyana's helping hand even though she hesitated a little.

"Ara," Ara said as she took off her hand.

"No," Hyana again pulled Ara's hand and shook it. "From now on your name on the yellow mountain is Gienka."

Ara's eyes widened in shock at what she heard, "why? why do I have to use that name?"

"Because no one will recognize you as Miss Ara." Hyana took off her hand and flicked it in front of Ara, until a mirror appeared right in front of Ara.

"Ap..what really happened?" Ara held her face in a daze in front of the mirror, her face completely changed. His eyes that had been brown and sometimes red were now turned pitch-black, his hair turned surging blue like the waves in the ocean, his eyebrows curved perfectly, even his lips turned blood-red. Her face turned more thin and became extremely beautiful, her skin shining brightly as if there was a sun behind her, no longer the red glow of her mother's energy.

"It seems that nature has chosen her own queen" Hyana said with a focused look at the mirror that now began to show a crown of flowers encircling Ara's head. Like magic, Ara's clothes turned into a beautiful earth brown dress with green robes like leaves, and water-clear glass shoes, the wind would not lose lifting Ara's body until her feet were not dirty on the ground, a small cloud flew over Ara's head as if afraid if Ara was sunburned. The whip that had been coiled around his waist, now turned into a golden stick with symbols of water, earth, wind, wood and fire imprinted on its handle.

Hyana gasped and immediately bowed herself, "respectful to us Her Majesty the Queen."

Ara turned her body around, and instantly finding the origin of the blaring sound, she had not realized before that there was someone other than Hyana who was welcoming her. Ara looked surprised to find a crowd of creatures in front of her who cheered towards her, flower petals scattered like rain, a face full of smiles that attracted Ara's attention.

"What's going on? Who're they?" ara asked still with a domineering confusion.

"Let me explain it Your Majesty."

Ara again gasped to find a familiar face reappearing before her. "Uncle Braidley?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Uncle Braidley bowed, then flicked his finger. "This is my true form, Your Majesty, and from now on Your Majesty can call me Riley" said Uncle Braidley who has revealed his true form.

Ara blinked her eyes, ever since she arrived at the yellow mountain, she was presented with amazing magic that unceasingly shocked her, not yet healed from the shock of her own change, she said, now he is faced with the change in form of Uncle Braidley into a young man who looks like a drop of a god with long brown hair that is left unraveled, the mature brown skin was manly and he wore a shirt resembling an sleeveless vest featuring his perfect abdominal muscles and arm muscles. His good looks were beyond doubt, while his right hand seemed to hold a dragon-carved wooden staff, "the servant is responsible for the wood element on this mountain, Your Majesty."

Ara turned to look at Hyana, "if Uncle Bradley is Riley, then you are Vivi right?"

Hyana smiled, "right Your Majesty. Servant Vivi, but the real name of the servant is Hyana and the servant is the subordinate of Lord Riley who is responsible for the growth and bloom of flowers on the Yellow Mountain."

Ara's eyes glazed over, she had lost hope of returning to her world, but the kindness of the Almighty was truly unexpected, who would have thought the people closest to her were now beside her.

"Who is he? Why did you pull me here?"

Ara looked towards a short-haired young man, he was almost similar to Riley but his appearance looked much more luxurious. He wears a gold shirt with a long robe embroidered with a shiny brown ball, he also wears a necklace with a pendant that looks like a globe but is completely brown.

Riley hit the young man on the head with his cane, "bend on Your Majesty or I'll punish you!"

"Your Majesty? Has His Majesty returned? Where is he?"

"In front of you, Agra!"

The young man called Agra looked into Riley's sharp-looking eyes, then he looked towards Ara and then he seemed to circulate his gaze from head to toe.

"I admit that you are beautiful but I will never bow to a weak creature like you" Agra whispered in Ara's ear.

Ara gasped with courage Agra made a rejection of her as everyone bowed and saluted. Ara smiled, she then approached Agra and whispered back.

"You're right, how can a weak being like me be a queen, right? Looks like they're wrong, will you help me clear up this misunderstanding?" ara said softly with a little pleading.

But not the answer that Ara got, but Agra who fell down in front of him as if sitting together.

"What are you doing? Are you okay?" ara asked worriedly, she almost bowed and checked Agra's state when sobs started to sound.

"Ampuni Your Majesty's servant, I dare not. Servant knows servant is wrong, servant will never again question His Majesty, servant promised. Please forgive His Majesty's servant.."

Ara almost gawked due to Agra's attitude that changed by a split second, what happened? He looked at Riley and Hyana alternately, but the two gave him a sweet smile. Ara exhaled a long breath and cast her gaze into the sky.
