  Introduction

  “I had a reason why I chose you girls. You two complete each other.”

  This is a magical story about two little sisters, who appear in an amazing world and face insurmountable difficulties in order to reach their goal. They try hard and never give up. Despite the frightening experiences, the sisters maintain a good sense of humour and a positive attitude.

  Chapter 1: The Butterfly

  Once upon a time there was a house in the mountains, where two little sisters lived with their parents. The sisters’ names were Lily who was 6 years old and Jilly who was seven. They both had long red curly hair, big blue eyes and lots of freckles. They were smart and funny. The sisters liked to have fun around the house where only mountains and prairies were, with squirrels and rabbits running in the forests.

  ***

  After eating their breakfast one morning, Lily and Jill y asked their parents:

  “Mommy, daddy, can we go out and play?”

  The weather was nice and sunny, so their parents said yes. Lily and Jilly went out and started to run towards the vast prairie, singing and jumping up and down. When they got tired, they lay on the fresh green grass to catch their breaths. The fresh green grass they would lay on was a distance from their home. Colorful flowers were blossoming around them, and the sun was shining brightly. The girls were happy. Just as they decided to get up and continue playing, a pink butterfly came and sat right on Jilly’s nose. Jilly started giggling.

  “Hey, Lily, look here, look here,” she said.

  “What is it, Jilly?” Lily asked.

  “I’ve got a butterfly on my nose! And it’s huge!”

  Lily came closer and looked. The butterfly was really sitting on Jilly’s nose. It was rather big, about the size of her head, with light pink and sparkling wings. Suddenly the butterfly flew upwards and started to speak.

  “Hello Lily and Jilly,” she said.

  The girls were astonished. They stood with mouths wide opened and didn’t know what to say.

  “Lily, did you hear that? I thought birds and animals couldn’t speak like people,” Jilly whispered.

  “Yes, and I thought insects couldn’t, either.” Lily whispered back.

  “And fish also…”

  “And snakes as well,” Lily added.

  The butterfly was hanging mid-air, its sparkly wings shivering, and it was smiling at the astonished girls.

  “I am Butterfly Princelda,” the butterfly said.

  Lily opened her eyes wider and said:

  “Wow! Look Jilly, she can really speak.”

  “But how do you know that it’s a she, Lily? Maybe it’s a he?”

  “I think she’s a she because her name is Princelda, like princess.” Lily piped up.

  “But maybe it is like prince?” Jilly asked tentatively.

  The butterfly smiled again and said:

  “I am a Princess, Jilly, your sister is right.”

  “But how can you speak?” Jilly asked.

  “I live in an enchanted world, which you do not know. The only reason that I came to you is that we have a big problem in our world and need your help.” The butterfly said.

  The sisters looked at each other in astonishment.

  “Princelda, but how can we help?” Jilly asked.

  “What kind of a problem do you have?” Lily added.

  “Are you sure that we can help? I mean, how do you know that we can help you?” Jilly asked.

  “Jilly, we can help, that’s not a problem,” Lily said impatiently, “I just want to know what the problem is.”

  The butterfly sighed and said:

  “I will tell you about the problem on the way. It’s a long story. If you can come with me, then let’s go. We don’t have much time.”

  “But our parents don’t know… they will get worried,” Lily said.

  “I will run now to the house and inform them,” Jilly said and turned to go, but Lily grabbed her arm:

  “No, no, Jilly, don’t go. If you go and tell them, they will not believe you and will tell us to return home for… for… lunch.”

  “Lily, mom and dad will worry! I won’t go anywhere without letting them know. Who knows, maybe we can’t solve the problem in an hour and be home for lunch, and they will worry.”

  “Oh, Jilly…” Lily said.

  “Don’t worry girls,” the butterfly said. “Your parents will not notice your absence.” With this, the butterfly sent a few pink sparkles with her wings towards the girls’ house.

  “What was that?” Jilly asked.

  “It’s magic. As soon as the sparkles reach your parents, the time will stop for them until you return.”

  “Wow!” Lily exclaimed. But Jilly wasn’t convinced.

  “I want to go and check if the sparkles really work.” She said.

  “Please, Jilly, we don’t have much time,” the butterfly said, “and we really need your help. Please.”

  “Ok,” looking towards the house, Jilly said.

  Lily put her hands on her hips: “So, where do we go now?”

  Chapter 2: The Magic Dust

  Lily and Jilly went towards the forest, as the butterfly led them.

  “My world is a very beautiful world… well, it was,” Princelda started to tell them, as they were walking towards the forest.

  “What happened?” Lily asked impatiently.

  “It was a beautiful world until our enemy invaded and turned it into an ugly one…”

  “Who’s your enemy?” Jilly interrupted.

  “Why did your enemy turn the beautiful world into an ugly world?” Lily sounded really angry.

  “Girls, please don’t interrupt me. I need to tell the story of my world before we reach there,” Pincelda said calmly.

  Both girls said, “OK”.

  “So, we didn’t know that we had an enemy until it appeared. It was an evil witch, which came from another world, in order to take over our world.”

  Lily started to say something, but Jilly put her finger to her lips, and Lily stopped.

  “The powers of the evil witch turn
ed our world into a dark and unpleasant place.” Princelda continued, sighing. “Our beautiful world, Buttershine, is now called Darkershadow, and my people are so unhappy. My palace is turned into Mrs. Acnepus’ home… my people are slaves for her…”

  “Mrs. What?” Lily burst out the words, unable to hold inside.

  “Oh… wow…” Jilly exclaimed, obviously overwhelmed by the whole lot of the extraordinary information.

  “Mrs. Acnepus.” Princelda repeated. “She makes everybody call her Your Ugliness Mrs. Acnepus.”

  “But why Acnepus?” Lily asked.

  “Her face is covered in a lot of acnes full of pus.” The butterfly explained.

  “Yuck!” The sisters shouted together.

  “When I was a small child, my mother told me stories about her. Of course I never believed those stories, but now those stories have turned into reality, and I have to believe them,” Princelda said. They were already in the forest, and the sweet songs of the lovely birds accompanied them.

  “Oh, you have got a mother…”Jilly said.

  “Who’s she? Where is she now? Why can’t she help your world?” Lily asked.

  “My mother is the queen of Buttershine. Her name is Sparkle.”

  “Is she also a butterfly?” Lily asked.

  “Yes, she is. But she is in prison now.” Princelda said sadly. “Acnepus has taken her crown and has imprisoned her in her ugly scary world.”

  “Oh… how sad. And where is her scary world?” Jilly said sadly.

  “We must set her free!” Lily exclaimed.

  “Girls, please listen to the story till the end.” The butterfly asked. “She is the queen of Horriworld, a place which I don’t know. Have never been there, nor do I know where it is,” the butterfly continued, as the girls looked at her with big round eyes. They got deeper into the forest. The forest wasn’t too big, so Lily and Jilly assumed that they had reached the center of the forest. Princelda stopped, and the girls stopped too.

  “The way gets a bit difficult from here,” Princelda said, looking around her.

  “Why?” Jilly asked.

  “I am not afraid of difficulties,” Lily said, excited at the idea of surmounting difficulties. “Uncle Bob always says that I’ve got the power.” She added proudly.

  “Yes, and he also says that I’ve got some really visible brains.” Jilly said, obviously too proud of herself.

  “Both of you are priceless, sweet girls.” Princelda said, smiling. “Now I must help you fly, as the way to Buttershine is through the sky.”

  “Really? Are you serious?” The sisters shouted together, too excited at the thought of flying.

  “Yes,” Princelda said calmly. She shook her wings, and some pink sparkle was emitted from her wings. “Eat that sparkle please, girls,” she said. Lily and Jilly looked at the pink sparkle, which was hanging mid-air, in a round shape, like a sweet cotton candy.

  “Is this edible?” Jilly asked tentatively, as Lily was examining the small cloud of shiny pink dust.

  “Of course!” Princelda said. “After you eat it, you will be able to fly!”

  Lily grabbed some of the dust and put it into her mouth. Her face brightened and her eyes started to glow with happiness. “Oh, and it’s so tasty! It tastes like… like… Strawberries!”

  Just as Lily swallowed and reached for more, Jilly tentatively took some and sniffed. Thinking that it smelled good enough, she put it into her mouth. At first she was chewing silently, as if waiting for something to happen, but then she started jumping up and down, shrieking and singing at the same time: “It’s so tasty! So tasty! It tastes like cotton candy!”

  “Even better!” Lily added. “I personally have never eaten anything like this before. Definitely this is the most delicious stuff that I have eaten in my whole life!” She said, as she took the last particles of the dust and swallowed.

  Princelda was smiling as the girls were enjoying the tasty sparkles. The girls were so astonished about the tasty sparkles, that they didn’t even notice that they were already in mid-air, above the ground. Finally Jilly looked down and gasped. At this, Lily also looked down: “Oh my God! We’re flying! The sparkles were really magical!”

  ***

  As they flew upwards, they got higher than the trees. The end of the forest was seen, and their house on the hill, too. The sky was full of sunrays, and it was blue and clear.

  “I think I need sunglasses now,” Lily said, giggling.

  “We don’t have much time, girls, please follow me,” Princelda said. “We have to keep going.”

  “Where do we go from here?” Jilly asked.

  “There’s a hole somewhere here,” Princelda said, flying slowly and looking attentively at some spot in the middle of the air. “We must go through that hole.”

  “What hole?” Jilly asked.

  “I can’t see any hole here,” Lily added.

  “It’s an invisible hole,” the butterfly said. “And it will open only when I spray my magical dust on it.” With this, she shook her wings, and pink sparkle shot like a lightning into the air. A nice round passageway was formed in the air with the sparkles.

  “Wow!” the girls exclaimed.

  “Please follow me. We must go through this passage before the sparkles fade.” Princelda said and hurried into the sparkly ring. The girls followed her.

  Chapter 3: Darkershadow

  It was a small round pink and sparkly passageway, which smelled like cotton candy. The three of them got through it in a few seconds and got out of it into another sky, which was gray and uninviting. The pink sparkly passageway disappeared.

  “Below us is Buttershine,” Princelda whispered. She was a bit frightened and was looking around herself constantly.

  “It’s so cold and sad here,” Jilly said.

  “I wonder how it looks,” Lily said.

  “Girls, there’s only one safe place that I know. I must take you there now, and tell you the rest of the story, so that you’ll know how you can help.” Slowly she flew downwards, motioning the girls to follow her. They descended and found themselves in a forest, with a small cave-like thing in front of them.

  “Quick, get inside,” Princelda whispered and flew into the cave herself. The girls followed her. Inside the cave looked really dirty, and it smelled like moist.

  “Yuck, Princelda, what place is this?” Lily asked, making a disgusted face. But Princelda was busy. She was shaking her wings again. The pink sparkly dust was emitted from her wings, which immediately covered the entrance of the cave.

  “Now nobody will find this place. I’ve covered it with invisible sparkle.” Princelda said happily. Looking around, she saw the disgusting dark cave and the unhappy faces of the children. “Oh, I totally forgot,” Princelda said, and started to shake her wings again. The pink sparkle flew through the cave and in a blink of the eye the cave was totally changed. The grey and dirty walls turned clean and pink and were covered in blossoming pink roses. The darkness was gone, as there was a pleasant light inside the cave. There was a delicious mixed smell of strawberries and roses. There had appeared soft armchairs and cushions on the cave floor, as well as a comfortable table with all sorts of cakes, sweets, fruits, berries, ice-cream and juice on the inviting pink tablecloth.

  “Wow!” The girls whispered.

  “I can’t believe what I see!” Jilly exclaimed.

  “I can’t believe what I smell!” Lily said: “And taste!” she added, as she grabbed a strawberry and ate it.

  “I’m glad that you like our cave, girls,” Princelda said, smiling. This will be our home until we rescue my mother and Buttershine.

  “This is a nice place to live in,” Jilly said, sinking into one of the armchairs.

  Princelda smiled and said: “You may be tired and hungry. Sit down and help yourselves while I finish my story.”

  The sisters were thankful to sit down on the soft armchairs and to eat all kinds of deliciousness. What else were they dreaming of after their long travel int
o the magical world?

  “About a week ago I was in my secret room at our palace when Acnepus attacked Buttershine. I looked out of my window and saw how the sky got black, and our world became dark. Green and clingy rain started to drop from the sky.” Princelda said. “Obviously it was a magical potion, because the moment it got down on the ground, everything changed – the beautiful flowers and trees became wires and prickles, the people of my world lost their magical ability – Eyefire, it’s when they shoot with their eyes, and all the nice houses were destroyed and turned into small cave-like things.”

  “Is this cave one of those?” Jilly asked, with wide-open eyes.

  “Yes, it is, Jilly. This used to be a beautiful playground where I liked to play when I was little. My secret room also became a grey and sad place. After Acnepus destroyed our world from the sky, she descended, and I saw that she was riding a dragon.”

  “Wow!” Lily said, as the strawberry was halfway to her mouth.

  “I remembered from my mother’s stories that Acnepus had a dragon and snakes, and all kinds of scary animals in her world, Horriworld.” Princelda continued. “She invaded our palace. I was scared and hid in my secret room, which she never found.”

  “How did you manage to hide from her?” Jilly sat upright, chewing a cake.

  “My mother had put a spell on my secret room, so that no one could destroy it.”

  “But how did your mother know the tales about her?” Jilly asked again.

  “My mother told me that she had learned from her great-great-grandfather about the existence of Acnepus when she was a child. Centuries ago Acnepus and the king of Buttershine had a big war and the king won her. But there was always a chance that she could return, stronger than before. All she wants is to take Buttershine and to make our people her slaves.”

  “Then what happened? What happened to your secret room?” Lily interrupted.

  “My secret room remained secret. After about an hour I tiptoed out of the secret room to see what was happening.” Princelda said.

  “What did you see?” Lily was impatient again.

  “Everything was changed. The palace was a disgusting big old cave, with cobwebs and spiders everywhere. It was empty, besides a few Buttershine people, who had no power.” Taking a small cupcake, Princelda continued: “I was frustrated and devastated. I understood that she had defeated my mother. The only way to defeat my mother was to take her crown away from her. Obviously Acnepus took my mother’s crown away.”
