Chapter 1 The Water Woman

“It is clear you need my story.”

“Diamond?”

                                                         Chapter 1 The 3 Kingdom War

“Mom! We’re out of blueberries, again!”

“Coming! Okay, what is it, Talea?”

“we’re out of blueberries, AGAIN! So we have to go get more.”

“Sigh, we can’t. We picked the last of them 3 weeks ago–“

“Which means no more ’till, spring.” said Talea.

“Exactly. But, you can help me look for some pumpkins if you want?” Myoura said with a questionable face.

“Okay.”

Talea and Myoura were searching for pumpkins in silence until Myoura said, “Do you ever wonder if the kingdom survived?”

Talea stiffened. “No, I don’t. Why ask now and not, before?”

“I don’t know, it’s just, well… I want to know if they’re okay. That day…that horrible day–

I need to tell you something.”

Talea’s look changed into question combined with confusion.

Myoura continued. “When the castle got stormed–“

“No, I am not going to try to remember that awful day. I have no intention on remembering and never will.”

“But I need to tell you, Talea, Diamond didn’t attack the castle on her own.”

Talea looked up. “What? Who? Why?” she said.

“The mountain lemurs of Madagascar,” said Myoura. “Led by one named Koto. A said to be reckless ruler. But he’s a lemur, so.”

“We have to take back our kingdom, let’s go.”

Talea and Myoura ran into the kingdom. Or, almost deserted kingdom.

“There’s no one here. Where is, everyone?” asked Talea.

“There!” said Myoura as she and Talea ran to a person, she was dirty and had bruises almost all over her.

“What happened?” Talea asked the person.

The person looked at Myoura, eyes widening. “Gasp! Your majesty!” she said, standing to bow.

“Miss, do you know what happened-“

“You’re the queen! You have come to save us!”

“Do you know–” Talea started but got interrupted.

“Ah, princess!” the person said with yet another bow. “This is wonderful! You can stop the war!”

“What war?” asked Talea.

“The over a century long war, of course.” said the person. “Or as I’ve begun to call it the 3 kingdom war.”

“It’s still going on?” asked Myoura.

“Yes. For 13 years now.”

“Mom,what war!?”

“Sigh, Talea, I, I have to tell you, something.”

                                                                    Chapter 2 Together

5 months earlier…on earth that is.

“Hello Father I’m back from getting groceries. Father? Maybe you’re downstairs.”

So Diamond decided to go downstairs…

“Diamond, you’re back!”

“Yeah, I am. Are you still working on the portal?” asked Diamond.

“Yes. But unfortunately, it’s been a bust so far,” said Oliver with a frown. “Should I give up?”

“OF COURSE NOT! Have you forgotten why we are doing this? To find Mom and Talea. We can’t and won’t give up.”

“You’re right, Diamond. I’ll keep trying for them.”

Oliver pulled the lever and something happened!

“We did it. Father, we did it!”

On the other side of the portal…

“Mom, tell me what war–“

“A portal,” Myoura whispered. “It’s fading… they won’t be able to make it through. But we can send a letter through it.”

“But can’t they–“

“A glitching portal could destroy the living!” Myoura was going to send the letter when someone came through!

“Diamond?” asked Talea.

“Oliver?” asked Myoura.

“kitty??” asked Talea.

“Talea, Myoura, is it really you two?” asked Oliver.

They were all so surprised they didn’t even notice the portal closed.

“Gasp a portal, hmm, “Pearl said from behind the trees where she was hidden. “Maybe I can make it through without–

Gasp, Oliver? I thought he was dead, or in another dimeson, guess I was wrong. Hm.”

Pearl tried to jump through but…

“Pearl?” said Myoura.

“Uhh hey, sis.”

                                                                    Chapter 3 …

“Okay so… do we, tie her up again, or?” Talea asked.

“How did she escape?” asked Myoura.

Diamond tied up Pearl. “What? She’s evil!”

“No more than you, I mean you both tried to take over the kingdom, so…” Talea said. “Let’s let her go but, keep her in the kingdom. How’s that sound?”

“Uh excuse me is that the king?” said the person Myoura and Talea were talking to before the portal opened.

“Oh right, Talea there’s a war that’s been going on for 13 years and we need to stop Koto and then the war and the only way to stop the war is well, um, we will talk about it afterwards,” said Myoura.

“Oohhhh I um, that’s my fault, hehe,” said Oliver.

“Hello! What do we do with Pearl?!” asked Diamond.

“Is anyone worried about Koto!?” asked Myoura.

“Can I leave!?” asked Pearl.

“EVERONE QUIET!!” Talea yelled and everyone silenced. “Okay, when we all talk at once, no one, wins. So, why don’t we just, talk one at a time? Mom, you go first.”

“The best thing to do is go take back the kingdom, then we stop the war,” said Myoura.

“But how do we stop the war?” asked Diamond.

“Um, one thing at a time,” said Myoura.

“Okay now, Dad,” said Talea.

“Yeah um, the war’s my fault. Hehe,” said Oliver.

“You started the war!?” asked Pearl. “How!?”

“He insulted the king of Piola.” said Diamond “Then the king of Piola declared, war. Talea was too young to remember.”

“But I’ve met Prince Opal. What a scum,” said Talea.” Anyway Diamond, your turn to talk.”

“What do I do with Pearl?” asked Diamond.

“Keep her tied up. Pearl, your turn,” said Talea.

“Can I leave?” asked Pearl.

“No,” said Talea.

“Okay,” said Pearl.

“Let’s go fight Koto,” said Talea.

Talea’s Mysteries Part 8

                                           

Previously on Talea’s mysteries

“Talea said, Ok, ok, this is—“

“Talea?” Diamond said.

Talea gasped—

                                                          Chapter 1 the water woman

At the castle, Talea and Myoura walked in the ashes of the castle burned so long ago.

Talea looked for things to rebuild the castle with when suddenly!…

“Who are you?!” a voice said. But there was nothing there but a pond.

Talea walked to the pond to investigate. The pond was small but well covered in sunlight.

All Talea saw was her reflection Until…a person appeared in the pond! Right next to Talea!

Talea looked beside her but no one was there. “Who are you?” asked Talea.

The person squinted her eyes. “Gasp! Princess.” she said with a bow.

“Mom, there’s uh, a person in, in the pond.” Talea said.

“Princess why so troubled?” asked the person.

“You didn’t answer the question. Who are you?” said Talea.

“I am the girl of reflection. I come in the reflection. From glass, to water.”

Myoura walked over. “But why?” she asked.

“It is clear you need my story.”

“Hundreds of years ago, I came to existence. But, I was not in the village. Not truly.

I was stuck. Stuck in a pond. All my life I have been in a pond… until one day I learned how to move from pond to glass and so much more. any and every reflection was my home.

One day my pond dried and I found this one. I adored rain more than anything.

In the rain I could be as if human. Walk on land. But I was still an illusion.

Never a real human.”

“I’m so sorry,” said Talea.

“It is fine. Oh! By the way my name is Vearora.”

“What a lovely name,” said Myoura.

“Anyway, why are you here?” asked Vearora.

“We are here rebuild our home,” said Myoura.

“This was our home 10 years ago. Till my sister—” Talea cut off.

“The point is we came to rebuild our home,” said Myoura.

“I will help in anyway I can,” said Vearora.

3 months later…

“And done!” said Talea.

“Finally, we’re home,” said Myoura.

                                                    Chapter 2 Stone Diamond

“Diamond?”

“Father? Is it really you?”

“Yes. It is me. I thought I lost you.”

They hugged.

“I…I missed you… so, so much, Father.”

“Wait wait, if you’re alive do you know where Myoura and Talea are?” asked Oliver, Talea and Diamond’s dad.

“I’m sorry I don’t know father.”

“Ok, well you’re here. And that’s something.”

“So what have you been doing the past 10 years?” asked Diamond.

“I don’t know. I got a job, A house.”

“But you’re a king. Where is your castle?” asked Diamond.

“Here I am not a king,” said Oliver, with an awkward look.

“But why not?” asked Diamond.

“Well, um… I don’t know how to answer that question. I guess I should show you around,” said Oliver.

“Ok,” said Diamond.

                                                  Chapter 3 Back To The Magic

“oh we’re finally home yes finally home,”  sang Talea.

“It feels so long is so long why did we not do this before?” sang Myoura.

“Chapter 1 is done but chapter 2 has yet to come,” sang Talea.

“And chapter 2 is coming soon!” sang Myoura.

“Yes chapter 2 is coming soon!” they sang.

So chapter 1 is over. But, I’ll be starting chapter 2 in March sorry for the long wait. I hope you liked my last 8 books. And yeah, please comment ideas. Thank you and happy Valentine’s day.

Talea’s Mysteries Part 7 – Final Book of 2021

                                               Previously on Talea’s mysteries

Talea said, “Aunt Pearl!”

Diamond said, “she’s up to something–“

Talea said, “Oh no.”

                                                         Chapter 1 the lost secrets

Talea said, “Ok, ok, this is…not fine not fine at all!”

“Talea?” said Diamond. “Did you follow me here?” Diamond asked.

Talea said “Uuuuuhhhhh………. “This isn’t what it looks like.”

“You knew, you knew didn’t you?” said Diamond.

Talea said, “Of course I knew!”

Diamond shrugged. “How did you know I knew that you knew mom was alive?”

Talea gasped, “You know?”

Diamond widened her eyes. “What else do you know?”

“I know you’re the traitor.”said Talea.

Diamond then ran.

“Diamond? Diamond?! Where are you? Sigh. I have to save Mom.”

Talea then ran to free her mother.

“Talea!” said Myoura. “Thank crystals you’re here.”

“We need Diamond’s help, where is she?”

Talea stayed silent, as she untied Myoura.

She then said, “Diamond is gone. She left.”

“Where’d she go?”asked Myoura.

“In the woods.”said Talea.

“The woods?”Myoura asked.

“YES THE WOODS!!” Talea yelled. “Sigh that’s not important right now. We need to get Pearl under control.”

“Ok,” said Myoura.

Meanwhile with Diamond.

Diamond ran through the forest, hoping she wouldn’t have to face Talea.

Was Talea so angry she would hart her own sister? Diamond wondered.

If so, Diamond was in a terrible situation.

Diamond stopped running, and said, “I wish I could fix this.”

And then… she heard a rustle in the bushes.

“Who’s there?” she said. “I know you’re here! Show yourself!”

And a small kitten appeared out of the bushes.

“Oh, it’s just a kitten. Hello. Where’s your mom?” the kitten blinked.

“You’re not to chatty are you?”

“Well, if you’re alone, then I’ll take care of you. That sound fun?”

The kitten meowed. “Don’t worry, we’ll find the perfect home.”

Meanwhile with Talea.

Myoura said, “I know where Pearl is going.”

Pearl said finally, “I’ll rule a kingdom. Just like my nitwit sister once did.”

“I will soon have all the power hahahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!”

“Stop right there!” said Talea.

“Well well well, looks like my niece came to stop me. How’d you know?”

“I’m smarter than you think, Aunt Pearl, if that’s even your real name.”

                                                                Chapter 2 the castle

“Where are we?”

“Meow,” the kitten said.

“What is that? Is that a portal? But, portals haven’t been active in hundreds of years.”

“How can it be?”

“Meow,” the kitten said once more.

“Haha. We don’t fit in this world. Mia, we’re going in.”

Diamond and the kitten, Mia, went in the portal, so they could finally, feel, home.

“Where are we?” Diamond said. “Gasp I think it’s the portal realm.”

“Where do you want to go Mia?” Mia went over to a green portal.

“Ok,” Diamond said. And they went through.

Meanwhile with Talea.

Talea and Myoura tied  up Pearl. “Talea, we, we have to return to the castle.”

“It’s too dangerous to leave it in ruins,” Myoura said.

Talea said, “i… i… sigh, ok. but the castle is down in ruins. Where will we live? And, what do we do with her?”

Myoura said, “I know our family and the castle are in ruins, but we have each other. And if we can survive 10 years living in the woods, we can rebuild a kingdom.”

Talea raised a brow.

“Ok I know it sounds like a lot of work but we will make it work,” csaid Myoura.

“Ok,”Talea said. And they returned home.

Meanwhile with Diamond.

“Diamond?” a voice said.

To be continued…for Diamond…but not Talea.

After many hours of travel, Talea and Myoura arrived at the castle.

Myoura looked at Talea. “You okay?” she said. Talea didn’t respond, she instead walked forward. Talea finally spoke. “We will rebuild.”

Talea’s Mysteries Part 6

                                                      

   Previously on Talea’s mysteries,

Talea said, “I can’t beleve your alive!”

Diamond said, “Talea’s diary.”

Diamond said, “She knows.”

10 years ago,

Diamond said, “Ready to storm the castle?” The lemurs nodded, but when they wreaked havoc,

Diamond realized she made a big mistake.

Diamond said, “You have to STOP, this is wrong!”

The lemurs approached Diamond.

“Wait what are you doing? Oh no they’ve turned on me. If I head into the forest they won’t find me. What was that blur? No matter, I have to leave.”

Meanwhile, in Talea’s dream.

Myoura said to Talea, “Wake up sleepy head.”

Talea said, yawn, “Hi, Mom.”

Myoura said, “Let’s go get breakfast.”

Talea said, “Ok Mom.”

But when Talea and her mom were eating breakfast, the castle was stormed!

But the guards couldn’t keep the castle safe, and the royal family was separated.

And Talea was forced to run!

Then Talea and Diamond woke up from their nightmares.

When they heard a knock on the door, and they panicked, but they got to the door, and it was there Aunt Pearl!

Talea said, “Hi Aunt Pearl!”

Talea and Pearl hugged. Diamond walked over and said, “Hi.”

Pearl said, “Diamond it’s been so long!”

Diamond said, “I’s been 13 Years!”

Pearl said, “So odd.”

Talea said, “I know! Hahaha.”

Diamond wasn’t too happy about Pearl’s visit.

Talea said, “Oh where are my manners, come in, Aunt Pearl.”

Pearl said, “Gladly.”

Talea said, “So this is our house. These are our beds, oh and this our fireplace, we use it to cook food.”

Pearl said, “Nice!”

Talea said, “Are you hungry, Aunt Pearl?”

Pearl said, “I’d love a little bit to eat!”

Talea said, “Great! I’ll whip up some blue berry juice, and soup.”

10 minutes later. Pearl said, “MMM smells delicious!”

Talea said, “Diamond try some, it’s really good!”

Diamond said, “No thanks, Talea.”

Talea said, “Ok, your loss. So Aunt Pearl, where have you been the last 10 YEARS!!”

Pearl said, “So you know I live very very very far away right?”

Talea said, “Yeah, across the world.”

Pearl said, “10 years ago I got a letter saying the castle was stormed, And I got here as fast as I could. I would have been here sooner, but, I live so far away.”

Talea said, “Don’t worry about it, it’s A okay. (-:”

Diamond said, “Well it’s been fun, but I think it’s time for you to go, Aunt Pearl.”

Talea and Pearl said at the same time, “AlREADY??????!!!!!!!”

Talea said, “No n n no she just got here, nope Aunt Pearl is staying.”

Diamond said, “Hey Talea, can I talk to you for a minute?”

Talea said, “Sure.”

Diamond whispered to Talea, “Listen Talea, I’ve got a bad feeling about her, she’s up to something I know it.”

Talea said, “Well you’re wrong!! Listen, you’re the only family member I’ve seen in 10 years!

I need a refresher. )-:<

Diamond sighed, and said, “Well, guess it’s up to me now.”

Talea said, “Sorry about that, Aunt Pearl. Diamond was just umm… was asking if we needed more wood for the fire Hahaha.

Myoura said, “I’m back.”

Talea said, “Yes, I’m back to cooking desert. Hehe blue berry cake. Why don’t you watch, Aunt Pearl? Hehe. (-:>”

Pearl said, “Ok, I don’t see why not.”

Talea looked at Pearl, thinking, “I hope she didn’t see mom.”

If she reveals that mom is alive to Diamond, I can’t imagine what she’d do to me.

But Talea did imagine.

Diamond said, “I can’t believe you lied to me Talea!”

Talea said, “I’m sorry”

Diamond interrupted her, “Don’t Talea. it’s time for you to go. )-:<“

And then she pushed her off a cliff.

Talea screamed. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talea said, “Oh no.”

Later, Pearl was looking for Myoura in the woods. She said, “Ha found you. (-:<.”

Pearl tied up Myoura and said, “Sorry sis, but I want your life, HAHAHA!!!!(-:<“

Myoura tried to escape, but the rope was too tight. Pearl walked, away laughing, evilly. “HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Meanwhile with Diamond,

Diamond tried to leave the cave, but Talea asked, “Where are you going, Diamond?”

Diamond shifted. “Umm? oh! To get more berries. We used the last of the berries on the soup.”

Talea said, “Oh good.”

Diamond ran out of the cave,

And said, “fewf. What?”

Pearl said, “Sorry sis, but I want your life. HAHAHA!!!!”

Diamond gasped. “I, I have to help her.”

Talea saw all of it. She gasped and said, “She knows.”

Talea’s Mysteries by Mélanie Grant Part 5

                                                                                                     Previously on Talea’s mysteries

Talea couldn’t sleep.

Talea went on a hike to calm down.

Mom!?

Part 5

Talea said, “I can’t believe you’re alive, Mom!”

Myoura said,”I can’t believe you’re here Talea!”

Talea said, “Wait, have you been here all these years?”

Myoura said, “Yes, I’ve been waiting here for you to come all these years. I’m so happy!”

Talea said, “I’m happy too!”

Talea said, “I can’t wait for you to see my home!”

Three hours later Talea said, “We’re almost there. Wait, I forgot something. Diamond lives with me,”

Myoura yelled, “WHAT!!!!!!”

Crows crowed and many flew out of the trees.

Talea said, “I know it’s surprising, but she moved in before I learned—well, you know.”

Myoura said, “OF COURSE I KNOW! HOW CAN YOU STILL LIVE WITH HER!?”

Talea said, “I can’t kick her out, she would get suspicious! Listen, all we need to do is keep Diamond from seeing you, easy-peesy-lemon-squeezy.”

Myoura said, “Fine, but I won’t be able to hide forever.”

Diamond said, “Talea, where are you?”

Talea said to Myoura, “Quick hide!”

Diamond said, “Talea, there you are, where were you?”

Talea said, while panicking, “I was taking a morning walk.”

Diamond said, “Oh well, that makes sense, but why didn’t you tell me before you left?”

Myoura sneezed.

Diamond said, “What was that?”

Talea said, “Achoo! Sorry, that was me, just the winter cold brrrr.”

Diamond said, “Well then, let’s get home before we both catch a cold.”

Talea whispered to Myoura, “Follow me.”

Myoura nodded.

Five minutes later, back home, Diamond said, “I’m going to get some berries. B.R.B.”

Talea said, “Bye, sis, see you soon.”

Once Diamond left Talea said, “It’s safe, you can come out now. Hi, Mom.”

Myoura said, “Hi, Talea! What’s for dinner?”

Talea said, “Berries.”

Myoura said, “Yum!”

Two hours later, Talea and Myoura were talking when Diamond came back. Talea said, “Hide! Oh hi, Diamond!”

Diamond said, “Hi, sis, now let’s start the fire and cook these berries.”

Ten minutes later, Talea said, “They look yummy. I’ll get some water”

Diamond said, “Bye, sis.”

A minute or so later, Diamond said, “What’s this? It’s Talea’s diary I shouldn’t read this, but no, but ok, I’ll just read a page.”

Dear diary

Today was amazing turns out mom’s alive! This is the happiest day of my life!

Talea said, “Diamond?”

Diamond quickly put the book under her bed.

“What are you doing?” said Talea

Diamond said, panicked, “Nothing.”

Talea said, “Oh, well, I got the water.”

Diamond said, “Great! So how’s your day been?”

Talea said, “Good, how’s your day been?”

Diamond said, “Good,”

Just before bed, Talea said “Where’s my diary, oh well, I’ll look for it in the morning.”

The next morning, Talea yawned, then said, “Morning, Diamond.”

Diamond said, “Morning? Oh no, I’ve been up all night!”

Talea said, “Well, then you get some more rest and I’ll get breakfast, ok?”

Diamond said, while yawning, “Ok.”

Talea said, “Good.’

Diamond said. “Well, while she’s gone, I should think about what was in her diary. Now I need to figure out if Talea’s on to me or not. To figure out more I’ll read more of her diary

Dear diary

Our Aunt Pearl may visit but haven’t told Diamond yet.

Diamond said, “Well, that’s no help. I’ll read anther page.”

Dear diary

Today I found an iron tree with a secret compartment and there was a chest in it. Tonight I couldn’t sleep. I’ve decided to open the chest. Inside was a note and locket, which had a painting of my family, and the note said that Mom’s alive and that Diamond was the traitor.

Diamond said, “She knows.”

Talea’s Mysteries by Mélanie Grant Part 4

                                                               Previously on Talea’s mysteries

The tree was made of iron.

Talea laid awake.

Mom’s alive?

Part 4

Talea said, while pacing, “Ok, let’s think about this. Mom’s alive according to Mom, and Diamond is the traitor. Whew, I think my brain is going to explode.”

Diamond said tiredly and while yawning, “Talea? What are you doing up?”

Talea said, “Ummmm……..I was getting a cup of water.”

Diamond said, “Oh, ok,” while yawing. “I’m going back to bed,” yawn.

Diamond lied back down.

Talea went back to bed too. She rolled on her side and quickly fell asleep.

But even though she was somewhat happy, because her mother was still alive, she still had a nightmare.

Talea was 5 again and she was running through the forest. She saw her mom and happily said “Mommy!” She was running to her mom when suddenly Diamond came and Talea’s mom fell off a cliff. Talea said, “MOMMYYYYYYYY!!!!!!”

Talea started to cry when suddenly Diamond pushed Talea off the cliff. As she fell she saw an evil smile on Diamond’s face

Talea then woke up. While breathing fast, she looked outside. Talea decided to go on a hike on the mountains. After walking 10 miles, it was getting bright out. In the horizon’s light, Talea saw a cave and a campfire. Then someone walked out of the cave. Talea said, “Who are you?”

“Talea? I thought you were gone. I’m so happy to see you!” the stranger said happily.

Talea said, “Do I know you?”

Myhrora said, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m Myhrora.”

Talea said, “Wait Myhrora was my…hoh! Wait, are you?” Talea started to smile. “Mom!”

Myhrora said, “Talea! I’m so happy to see you!” while hugging her.

Talea said, “I got your note.”

                                                             Previously on Talea’s Mysteries

“I thought you were gone. Where you, Diamond?”

“I have my ways.’

“She’s hiding something, and I’m going to find out what.”

Part 3

Diamond said, “Come on, come on, Talea.”

Talea said, “I’m coming, I’m coming.”

While Talea and Diamond were chopping down trees, at Talea’s 5th tree she heard a noise coming from inside the tree. She felt the tree and it turned out the trunk was made of iron painted brown and there was a secret compartment in the tree. Talea opened the secret compartment and there was a small box inside. Talea took the box and closed the compartment before Diamond saw her. Talea wandered if it had anything to do with her family.

Talea said to Diamond, “I think we have enough wood now.”

Diamond said, “Ok. we’ll head back home.”

Late at night Talea laid awake in bed wondering what was inside the box.

Talea got up and opened the box. It was a note and a locket, Talea read the note and it said:

Dear Talea,It’s your mom. If you’re reading this you need to know I found out who the traitor is.

Talea said, “What?“

She is Diamond. Be carefu.l I don’t know why she would ever hurt us or the

Kingdom. 1 more thing. I am alive. How do you think I planted this note?

Talea said, “Mom’s alive?”
