Chapter 71 - Just Do It!

Amara opened her palm. "I want to give you this necklace with a pendant medallion as my parting gift. This is a powerful magical medallion, it can make all your wishes come true," she said in a serious manner.

Sabrina's brows furrowed. "But why are you giving me this powerful gift? Who are you exactly?" she asked in bewilderment.

"Because I'm going to die soon. You are very nice to me, and I want to give you something in return for your kindness and generosity," Amara explained.

Sabina shook her head. "I... I don't understand what you are talking about. Why you keep telling me that you're going to die? Stop being mysterious!" she demanded.

Amara released a deep sigh. "Much better if you just accept my gift and not ask too many question," she said irritably.

"I won't accept such gift if you won't tell me your real identity! Who are you!? And why you posses such a powerful medallion?" Sabrina asked, demanding answers to her questions.

Amara sighed heavily and grabbed Sabrina's arm, freezing her in the process. She quickly put the necklace around Sabrina's neck. Then she unfreezes her.

Sabrina looked at Amara with fear in her eyes. "W-what you just have done to me earlier? Why I can't move my body when you touched my arm!? What the hell is going on?" she asked indignantly.

The pendant medallion glowed brightly, bathing the girl's faces with a brilliant glow.

Sabrina stared at the medallion on her neck - fear flashing in her eyes. How in the hell did it come to her neck? She didn't remember accepting it from Amara and putting it around her neck! She looked at Amara with a mixture of surprise and annoyance. "What the hell is going on? Take it away from me! I don't want your gift!" she said in a horrified voice.

"I just give you the thing that is meant for you. You should be glad that I didn't hide it away from you! Ungrateful woman!" Amara scolded her.

The necklace continue to glow brighter for a few seconds more and then the lights faded.

Sabrina was stunned for a moment, she quickly holds the necklace, about to remove it from her neck but the object move away as if it has a mind of its own, avoiding her hands. "What the hell?" she stared at Amara in shock.

Amara shrugged. "See-? I told you, the medallion is yours! It refuse to be taken away from your neck!"

Sabrina spend the next fifteen minutes trying to capture the medallion and when she did, she tried to remove it from her neck, it suddenly disappeared from her hands.

She was so happy. "I did it!" she said triumphantly looking at her companion smugly. "Your gift is gone!" she beamed.

Amara smiled in amusement staring at Sabrina's neck. "Dear... look! The necklace is still hanging around your neck!"

Sabrina looked at her neck and there... the necklace appeared again! What the heck! Her face contorted in surprise and anger. "What is going on!?" she asked Amara, giving her a death glare. "It's no longer funny! Take it off from me!" she demanded angrily.

Amara released a bored sigh and said, "I'm done with my task. The medallion is yours and no one can take it away from you form now on."

A deep frown appeared in Sabrina's head. "What I'm going to do with this medallion?"

Amara smiled. "I guess you have to figure it out on your own, eh? If I'm still around - I'm willing to guide you but sadly my time is running out, my short life is about to end anytime soon," she said cryptically.

Sabrina looked at Amara. "When are you going to die?" she asked curiously.

"Why did you ask me that question?" Amara said.

"You said that this medallion is powerful, right?" Sabrina asked.

Amara replied, "Yeah, it is..."

"If you die here in the cave, I will resurrect you. Can this medallion resurrect you?" Sabrina asked. She was just trying to analyze if Amara was indeed telling her the truth about the medallion.

Amara's eyes widened excitedly. "Really? You are willing to do that for me?"

"Yes, of course!" Sabrina said. Then a frown appeared on her head. "If this medallion is powerful then why would you give it to me? Why not use it to prevent your own death?" she asked, confused.

Amara fell silent, shaking her head vigorously. "Alright, I will tell you the truth..."

"What truth-?"

"The truth about the medallion. It's not really mine," Amara confessed.

Sabrina's eyes widened in surprise. "Then who's medallion is this?"

Amara cleared her throat. "Um... It was one evening, when I was sitting alone here... You and Rhett already retired to your chamber during that time. Suddenly, an old man approached the cave and told me to give the necklace with the medallion pendant to you. He specifically mentioned your name. He told me that the medallion is powerful. When I asked him how powerful? He answered me that you have to figure it out for yourself. He told me that the medallion belongs to you because you are the rightful owner. He also warn me that if I will use the medallion for my gain it will punish me heavily. The rest is history..."

Sabrina looked at Amara quizzically. "You are confusing me. You told me that it's your gift to me and now you changed your story? How can I believe you now?"

Amara shrugged. "It's up to you what to believe. The important thing is that I already give the medallion to you. I rest my case..." she said.

"And what if this medallion has a curse?" Sabrina asked.

Amara fell silent. She hasn't thought about that. It never crosses her mind that the medallion will curse its owner. "I don't think so..."

"And how to use it-?" Sabrina asked again.

Amara scratches her head. "I'm sorry, I can't answer you that because I haven't use the medallion for my gain. I guess you have to figure it out for yourself," she said nonchalantly.

Sabrina groaned. Being the owner of a magical object is not fun and easy. She was having a headache right now.

Amara stared at the medallion for a long time.

"Tell me how to use this medallion!?" Sabrina demanded.

Amara smiled. "Let's try it then!" she suggested.

Sabrina's brows knitted together. "How?"

Amara picked up a small rock from the ground. "Make a wish... um... turned this rock into a delicious bread!" she said.

"I'll just make a wish?" Sabrina asked.

"Yes! Order the medallion to do as you wish! Just do it!" Amara put the rock on Sabrina's hand.

Sabrina looked at the rock in her hand and uttered a wish. "Medallion, turned this rock into a delicious bread now!" she ordered.

One minute passed.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

"..."

Nothing happened!

Sabrina and Amara stared at the rock and then looked at each other.

"Nothing happened? This medallion is not powerful! You lied to me!" Sabrina said.

Amara shrugged and shakes her head. "I dunno... turning the rock into a delicious bread is supposed to be an easy thing to do for a powerful medallion. How come it failed to obey your order?"

"Well... maybe that was too easy for the medallion to do. Maybe we need to wish something different or something difficult. What do you think?" Sabrina was smirking, finding everything funny and at the same time weird.

Amara saw the smile on Sabrina's face. "What are you thinking?" she asked.

"I'm thinking of turning you into a pink rabbit! You know what-? I always wanted to own a pink rabbit pet but I never had a chance. So, I'm going to turn you now into a pink rabbit!" Sabrina joked, grinning in amusement.

Amara's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not!" Sabrina said mischievously. She hold the medallion pendant in her right hand and whispered. "Powerful medallion, hear my wish. Turn this woman into a pink rabbit. Turned Amara into a pink rabbit now!" she said, laughing wickedly.

The look on Amara's face is priceless. "Nooooooooooo!"

Suddenly, the medallion emitted bright colorful lights and bathed Amara's whole body.

Sabrina stood in shock after witnessing such a phenomenon happening before her very eyes.

The colorful lights suddenly faded and there on the wooden chair... where Amara used to sit... is a pink cute rabbit!

"Holy cow!" Sabrina stared at the pink rabbit in shock. "Where is Amara? Where did she go? Amara where are you!?"

Did the medallion turn Amara successfully into a pink rabbit?

"I'm here! The medallion successfully turned me into a rabbit!" said Amara's voice coming from the rabbit's mouth.

"Whaaaat-!?" Sabrina picked up the rabbit and stared into the animal's eyes. "A-are you Amara for real?" she asked.

"Of course, I am! Now turned me back into my old self! Hurry up before Rhett returns here!" Amara said urgently.

"OMG! The medallion is indeed powerful! I'm impressed!" Sabrina said ecstatically. She patted the rabbit's soft fur adorably. "Awww, you're so cute! I finally have my own rabbit pet!" Sabrina giggled jovially.

"Stupid girl! I'm not a rabbit! Turn me now back to my old self! Hurry up!" Amara shouted angrily.

Sabrina was about to do just that when out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Rhett approaching the cave in big stride carrying a basket of vegetables in his right hand and a chicken in his left hand.

"My love, let's roast a chicken tonight for dinner!" Rhett said excitedly when he arrived at the entrance of the cave.

"Sure!" Sabrina replied.

Rhett looked at the pink rabbit that his girlfriend was holding in her hand. "Where did you get that rabbit?" he asked.

"Um..." Sabrina scratches her head for a few seconds. She needs to think of a credible alibi quickly. "The rabbit entered the cave. It remained on my side ever since so I decided to adopt it as my pet... only if no one will come to look for it," she lied.

"Okay, let's go now inside," Rhett said.

Sabrina carried the pink rabbit back to their chamber.

On the way, Sabrina was surprised that Rhett noticed the pink rabbit but not the medallion necklace hanging on her neck - which is in a clear view.
