Chapter 13

All the animals knew then that was the time to strike – and strike with all the power and might that they have to destroy this evil witch once and for all! The great eagle, who rescued Lessie, took off and with a few flaps of his giant wings, was soon above the destroyed castle.

However, from the distance she knew that the evil witch was far from defeated. She was fighting back with more will of a desperate force!

“Oh no!” she cried. “Please help us to destroy this evil force that is destroying this beautiful world!” she prayed.

She had to do something, yet her mind was all blank. The adventure that she had been going through was weakening her, yet she knew that the animals would be beaten if nothing was done to change the balance of the war.

In near desperation, she climbed the hill to have a better look at the battle that was raging while worrying and thinking of possible way to defeat the witch.

On higher ground, she could have a better look of the area. With the continuing melting snow and the clearing of the dark clouds, she could see the brightening vast areas of the land that was once under the control of the white witch.

She could see the sun ray shining its beautiful yellow ray of lights giving life to the plants and trees. The green leaves were beginning to appear again.

She looked up to the sky and was smiling at the sun she missed so much! Then, a strong beam of light from the sun shone on her,, suddenly a bright band of rainbow colour formed an aurora of lights which was reflected from Lessies’s face. This beam of reflected rainbow lights redirected itself to the white dragon!

Lessie was so surprised with this event. She was even more surprised at the weakening dragon which was slowly crumbling to the ground.

It tried to get up but the ray of rainbow lights shone even brighter. The legs of the dragon were obviously too weak to even support the weight of its body.

Dust was flying about as the dragon flapped its wings in a desperate attempt to take off. Its long tail was also slowing down in its swings! It was screeching madly and loudly, shaking its head in anger. The movements seemed to be slower as it became weaker and weaker!

Seeing the new development, all the animals gathered and agreed to attack the dragon together.

With their war cries, they all stood by to attack the dragon from all sides, planning to give it no chance to retaliate.

However, before it the animals could even take the first step, the dragon stopped moving as if frozen. Then, starting from its tail, the dragon slowly transformed to ice. Within less than a minute, the dragon turned to ice and looked more like a stature sculptured from ice!

Then, a loud “aaaauuuuuuuu’ filled the air. The brown wolf gave a howl to signal the animals to smash the iced dragon to pieces so that it had no chance to return.
Within minutes, the huge ice that was once a dragon was smashed to pieces – and it was also beginning to melt from the sun ray.

Then Lessie saw that the rainbow started to move and was spreading itself across the region giving life to the land.

Flowers were blooming, leaves and grass were growing, streams and rivers were flowing again. The birds were singing and the world became brighter.

All the animals gathered together once again. They were all sitting and resting and enjoying the scenery that was slowly forming in front of them. Their old world that was taken away by the white witch was returning - the world that they missed so much – sunshine and greenery!

Everything turned beautiful again!

For once, they felt so peaceful.
The majestic eagle which rescued Lessie was gliding in the sky, enjoying the view. Then he remembered and saw Lessie. With a gentle sweep of his wings, the eagles swooped gracefully and landed in front of Lessie and said,

“We can never thank you enough for all your help and the good deed you have done. You have given back our world and our life!”

Lessie’s happy face lit up, looked at the eagle, smiled, and said,

“ Ahh, my friend, everything is possible – when we have faith !”
Then she heard a human voice – a kind and friendly human voice finally!

“Lessie? Is that really you? Are you ok?”, that sounded very familiar to Lessie. Then the voice continued.

“Hey! You recognize me? I’m Robin! Your neighbor and also your brown wolf friend!”
Lessie was indeed pleased to see a familiar face and she actually wanted so much to hug her friend, but she controlled herself. Robin continued explaining,

“Do you remember when I told you that I was cursed by the witch to be a fur scarf? Then you helped to give me life, although as a brown wolf? And when finally everything was back to normal with your help, I became my original self again – your friend from your neighborhood!

Robin continued his explanation…
“You see Lessie, the King of Universe have chosen you to be the savior of this world. Only you can undo the entire evil spell that was casted by that evil witch! Don’t ask me how or why – but that’s the way it is. You were the chosen one!”

The two were walking along a path in the woods as they were talking. Then Robin bent down to pick a beautiful rose. He turned to Lessie and presented the rose to her. As Lessie took the rose from Robin, a thorn from the twig pricked one of her fingers and she gave a loud painful cry!

“Ouch!”
With concern in his eyes, Robin turned to Lessie and asked,
“Are you okay? That sounded painful?”
Lessie replied with a bright smile,
“I’m alright –really! I should have been more careful. It’s my fault, don’t worry!”
“Lessie, are you okay?”

Robin’s voice seemed to be louder and louder, almost like the booming of a thunder!
Puzzled, Lessie said to herself,
“Oh no! What can be happening now? Isn’t it all over?” She felt as if she was fainting.
