On the other side of the mirror

As soon as the doors of the castle opened, there, Syaima’ and I saw a fair and beautiful lady sitting on her throne.

“Asim!” Said the lady on the throne.

“Queen Aleesya…” Said Asim as he bowed. Syaima’ and I followed.

“Who are those two ladies behind you?” Asked Queen Aleesya.

“This is Nuha and this is Syaima’.” Said Asim.

“Why, welcome! Welcome!” Said Queen Aleesya.

“It’s an honour to meet you Queen Aleesya.” I said.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you girls too.” She said with a lovely smile.

“Asim, why don’t you show them around the castle?” Asked Queen Aleesya.

“It will be my pleasure.” Said Asim as he bowed.

“Come on ladies. Follow me.” He continued as he walked. Syaima’ and I followed behind him.

“Bye girls!” Said Queen Aleesya.

“Bye!” Syaima’ and I said.

“She’s awfully friendly.” Said Syaima’.

“Indeed she is.” I said.

“Here, we have Queen Aleesya’s flying horse stable.” Said Asim as he pointed to a stable where there were horses with wings.

“Oh so cute!” I exclaimed jubilantly as I ran to hug one of the horses.

“This one’s the cutest.” Said Syaima’ as she pointed to a red and orange horse with maroon wings.

“I like this one.” I said as I pointed to a navy blue horse which had ocean blue wings.

“Which one is the queen’s one?” Syaima’ asked Asim.

“I’m glad you asked.” Said Asim as he smiled, “Follow me.” He continued as he walked.

Syaima’ and I squealed of excitement as we followed behind him.

Asim stopped in front of a field which had fences around it.

“I don’t see no horses with wings.” I said.

Asim smiled, and said, “Look above you.”

I looked up. What I saw made me gasped.

A cotton candy coloured horse with red wings was flying above me.

“It’s beautiful.” Said Syaima’ as she enjoyed the sight of the majestic horse.

“Queen Aleesya lets only her horse fly in an open field.” Said Asim.

“You can tell that this is her favourite horse.” Said Syaima’.

“Yeah no kidding…” I said as I was still looking at the elegant horse.

“Follow me to the next place ladies.” Said Asim as he walked away from the field. We both followed.

Asim took us too many other places in the castle such as the maze room, the land of candy, the animal room and many more.

As we were walking back to the main entrance, Syaima’ and I chatted away.

“I liked riddle field the best.” I told her.

“That was a living nightmare. We had to figure out the riddles in order to be able to get out of the field. Luckily you were there.” Said Syaima’.

“Surprisingly, Asim didn’t know how to answer any of them.” I said as I giggled.

Asim who overheard us said, “I wanted to give you guys a chance to play around in the field.”

“Yeah right.” Syaima’ said as we both laughed.

As we were laughing, a sound of an alarm went on.

Syaima’ and I stopped laughing at once. We saw the look on Asim’s face; it didn’t look like good news.

“What’s going on?” I asked Asim.

“No time to explain! Just run and follow me!” He answered in a shouting way as he ran. Without another word, Syaima’ and I too ran.
