Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alterik sighed and shook his head. "What I am saying if the person who started this here might be controlled as well, meaning a relay for something not even here meaning even the one who brought this darkness is a victim of the real darkness. Which could make it harder to locate. Tsuki could have grabbed the seeded one and located it we will just have to hope it can with the one thats left.

And I will not let her do that alone. But even if the person that was seeded gets into a barrier it could be taken control of again within the barrier." Alterik said looking to one of his generals "I will go watch the princess to keep her safe from it. And to let you know if I located the seeded one." He said going into the tower walking in closing the door and walked through the barrier to keep guard.

Another one said "I will guard the other people." He said then looked to Sardin who pointed it was diagonal from the one Lyra was in. "Hey I was trying I only felt low level darkness in them not the seed or main source in any of them if I did I would have threw it into one alone or just formed restraints and be done. But I only felt the link of one controlled not the source that arrived here." Sardin said.

A young but not too young of a woman laid in tattered clothing on the floor of a odd chamber outside the seal room. It was the room just where the seal could be manipulated that she was outside of before collapsing. to strengthen it they would need to go past her. Beyond the seal on the wall was the dark being that slumbered.

Alterik nodded listening "Hitana can come if she wants just the first tower on the left is where Lyra is. It seems pretty calm in the front half by the main gate it seems there might be more darkness closer to the castle." He told her as he moved out using hand signals

"If you need to Tsuki back off on your shadow sensing I know it might be hard to reach fully up here and don't want you over straining yourself which could cause your body to seal your abilities away." Alterik said to Tsuki as well.

A guard hooked a small chariot up to 10 phoenixes and one strapped at the back having talked to the birds. "Your air chariot is set the phoenix have been instructed to balance it fully for your safety." He said to Alissia and Sinestra sighed. "Actually someone in Avalonia has been working on something in secret for me that might help Alissia get up easier to Synda." She said as a cougar man flew down landing softly as a pegasus was use to pull the chariot.

"Finished it a few minutes ago and trained this Flying horse to pull it as you requested Queen Sinestra." He said and wrote down the informations he just gathered with flying it testing it out himself. Than handed it to Sinestra to show it passed all the checks. "This horse just need to shake the guide reigns and say up to take to the air, shake them and say down to land. But will do all the normal commands a horse rider can use as well."

He said signing it off as delivered and heads off to the edge of the mountain area and leaps over the edge as the pack on his back opens to show glide wings fold out and sail material quickly pull over the length of he wings to let him glide back down. Sinestra smirked a bit at Alissia. "So tell me what you think." Sinestra said and watched.

Alissia looked raising an eye brow "I would have to call you a sneaky devil Because the chariot he flew down on is like my normal chariot down to my royal crest on the side. Yet it seems different then the one I usually use." Alissia said checking out the chariot and lifted it like it literally had no weight.

Sinestra smirked more. "Yeah it was supposed to be a birthday present to you. But I had them put a rush on it. Its made of a super strong but very light material they made recently called glide steel. It literally glides on air so if your horse goes out of control and breaks free sending you over a cliff you can glide softly to the ground. Or if a pegasus pulls it can fly as if you got wings on it. If you don't want to use the horse a single phoenix can pull it and it balances out in the air automatically." Sinestra says.

Back up at the castle the woman lays there looking passed out and just lays there waiting watching the three that cautiously goes around her.

As they opened the boxes one held a sword looking like it was made from a flame turned to steel and in the other was a crystallized wand that looked like it was solidified water. Each engraved with their respective names and a beam of light shot out of these weapon like tools and a holographic message placed.

"Hello Princess Hitana and Princess Lyra the last heirs and twins of the kingdom of Synda. These are offensive tools that will amplify your powers and at the same time keep darker emotions restrained to prevent something bad happening from your emotions making your powers go wild. Lyra princess of water, You have the staff of living waters.

It will purify darkness from the ground all you need to do is focus your powers into the staff once all the white gems in the top glow blue like the purest waters thrust the tip at the bottom into the ground. it will make vibration flow through the ground nothing harmful but it will send a field of cleansing energy into the land.

hitana princess of fire your sword will cut anyone and anything burning the darkness from stone and even the very air itself once the white crystals turn the color of fire. Also if you run a person controlled by darkness through or slash them it will not harm those who are controlled unless they led dark seeds into them which their very heart would be consumed by darkness. But those who do not have seeds will not be harmed and as you might have seen as this place that you would one day call home.

The kingdom of your grandmother Queen Alissia you inherited from your father Prince Lokitan. You will become the guardians of this kingdom and it's people. I seen this day coming that a person with the seed of darkness able to shoot into very strong magic users a fractured seed for it to try forming into a seed shard. The darkness sent here was to try awaken the darkness sealed inside the deepest depths of the castle. A darkness that can hide inside the seed spreader. When it is hidden even the strongest light spell won't reveal it or do anything to dispel it.

combining your powers into the land and stone will reveal it will force it out of hiding. Sure the darkness in control of the townspeople of this kingdom may look like a human woman, or even a child but know it is not human. It may once had been human but it no longer is, it is just a shell of what it used to be, And before you try thinking or asking Lyra no it isn't possible o return this being to a human state as the form it uses think of it being a dead human reanimated by a demon nothing human remains inside of it." The young man said in the message looking directly at Lyra as he said it.

"You need to venture Lyra you are tasked at trapping with the power you have the controlled townspeople and purifying the darkness from them and healing them. Hitana you are to protect Lyra while she does this as the ones being controlled by darkness won't like that the land has been cleansed making it hard for them to move freely and swiftly And may try to attack Lyra. Cut them as no harm will come to them Lyra should not stop you.

But the ones who do not attack are your targets to purify the darkness from them. These tools have had information stored into them to educate you on how to properly use them. just focus your power into them and learn all that your able to do, As you grow in strength together more will unlock to learn. Knowledge is power and a tool for good, but too much power,

Power your not strong enough to wield can take you down the path of darkness. Which is why limitations are present in this. To keep you from traveling down the wrong path, No horror will form from strong sadness, anger, or upset emotions while you have these tools with you. So your free to let loose your full power if needed.

But know if your life becomes at risk from it your power will be restricted to keep you from being hurt. when 3 crystals turn blood red it will force your power down, though the extra power will flow back into you to heal you and keep you well. These weapons also generate a barrier of protection to keep your own power from being drained out of you.

If someone like the stubborn dragons that will likely try reinforcing the seal of imprisoned slumber but if the person that has the dark seed is there and shoots a fragment of a seed into even one of them the only way to save them is to be cut by your blade of living fire Hitana no harm will come to them other than a minor cut on the skin but your blade will need to cut them deep. A seed fragment remains hidden from all tests and they might think the attack failed.

But in fact would have succeeded in placing a seed fragment which feeds on their negative emotions to grow once it forms a perfect seed they will be consumed leaving only a shell of what they used to be a shell disguising the truth that only darkness remains. They will have already died at this point and all your doing is allowing their soul to rest in peace. Feel not sorry for the ones who are lost Lyra just know they will one day live again as most if not all are given multiple chances in life and reborn.

Just rest at ease that those who are lost will be at peace until they can be reborn. Now take up your new weapons, your strongest tool in your possession and learn from it how to use them. The central crystal that is clear on the staff Lyra is called a shield crystal this will draw the power from the air as well as sense the darkness and create a protection bubble around you.

Hitana your sheath for your sword has the same gem you can not just run off without your sheath and expect to be protected. So insure you always have it with you Hitana and don't give me any lip about it being extra weight it weighs as much as a single feather. There is no excuse not to have the sheath with you." Olandrik's illusion message said then flickered and faded as the tools lifted up floating right before them waiting to be claimed by the twins.

Sardin was fighting back the citizens trying to keep from hurting them but also trying to think if one did not belong Alissia had landed behind Hitana and followed her walking into the barrier behind them the citizens looking shocked at the message of these two being the twin heirs to this kingdom. "Well that son of a mole rats back side! He knew this would happen all along?!" She blurted out likely scaring Lyra and Hitana.

Sardin sighed "We will get them back up here as well as anyone else there are more villagers being controlled. And we don't have things like that." Sardin said racing down to the innermost area Alterik following him once there Sardin jumped the Woman attacking the dragon mages knocking her out and dragging one of the fallen over dragon mages as Sardin grabbed the other two Dragging them back up not caring if they protested or not.

Queen Alissia moved to the towns people smiling at them "Sorry I have been gone so long, the evil man who forced me to call him my king is gone. He just up and made himself king despite how I wanted to rip him apart for killing my husband. It is because of me that our kingdom now rides and sits in the sky for I asked Queen Sinestra for help secretly. By getting her help I was freed from his tyranny But was unable to return until now until I found a way to return to my precious people." he said calling out to her people to hear her.

"I shall not blame any of you who no longer wish to call me queen. For what kind of Queen will willingly expect such from her people when she fails them and makes them suffer." She says looking down but smiles once more and speaks "I have returned though it took longer than I would had liked. I will be deeply humbled if you all still want me to be your Queen." She said smiling not because many of the villagers where freed from the darkness, and not from them coming out to her but for giving her the chance to apologize and listen just that simple act is what made her smile.

Sardin dragged the dragon mages out as Alterik presented the third and the woman.

Alissia bows her head politely to the man as she always does to anyone. Sardin watched once the woman was struck she winced and was reduced to a dark crystal shard and at that instant Arch Magnus Olandrik appeared in a flash of lightning and picked it up placing it in an odd device.

Once it was there a seal image formed on the compartment that he placed it into then made it vanish the little crystal that fell out of the dragon mage disintegrated right in front of everyone and a wave of his hand the barrier fell from around the land that was floating. "Ah I see you two used your new toys well." He said walking to Lyra and placed a hand on her shoulder having eyes as blue as the deepest ocean looking into Lyra's own eyes.

Smiling he told her "Your mother would be very proud of you. And not to mention so would your father Prince Lorkan of Synda would also be proud of you. As well as proud of your twin sister Hitana. You earned your rest you can draw your power back into yourself dear and relax." Olandrik said as Alissia gave a cold stare at him walking over grabbing him by the ear and pulling it dragged him off after saying "Olandrik I need a word with you." her tone sounded dark and foreboding as she made him dance on his toes wincing a little pulling him off to the side.

Alissia tripped at the sudden movement Olandrik blinked looking directly at the crystals and they started to glow brightly. Then a crystal on a cord floated up from his robe as it pulsed cracking he turned Quickly "Stop messing with powers ye are not ready to cast Lyra! Ye can not land us without killing all here!" He shouted.

Olandrik then shattered the blue crystal and the dark stones pulsed glowing red to stop her from using her power "You who is heir to this city Lyra You wish this kingdom which guards all the world be destroyed by foolish notion? You have not the power to undo which I had set forth to happen to begin with!

Set into the sky which protects the world from darkness this kingdom shall shine like a unseen second sun to see all happening in the world, to order and fight the tyranny of darkness the royals of the light must reside into the sky as the power that is to be held by those who guard life and innocents must Never once more touch the land it once sat upon. Once it is taken to the air to reunite it with all the powers of the 6 guardian crystals is to destroy the very world and render it into dust!" Olandrik yells as water mist surrounds Lyra to stop her from using her powers.

Alissia growls and grabs Olandrik shaking him. "You did this on purpose, you built this kingdom to trap and imprison evil that I keep guarded. Yet you never thought to tell me this or make an easy way to get me and my people up here to down there and down there to up here!" She yelled shaking him.

Olandrik sighed. "No I intended to finish the kingdom which would have had an intry point and to make it float forever in the air but before I was ready it was already cast into the sky without being fully prepared. With out the landing safeguards to disrupt the flight magic that has been activated before it was fully ready without the safeguards makes it kill the very world if reunited.

To disrupt the magics keeping it in the air now is to drop it from the sky as if the moon its self dropped to the world crashing into it! Because 6 people thought to make it fly to free you of the mad one they put this world on the verge of being destroyed should this kingdom go back down!" Olandrik yelled looking to the 3 dragon mages and Alterik and two of his guards

"Those responsible for putting what I intended to put into the air to protect it, So your kingdom could protect the very world put this kingdom, and the world in serious danger. Yes the safeguards can still be placed and put in but it will be more trouble and take more then just magic to accomplish now Alissia.

You want to point fingers point it at the 6 who put this in the sky before it's time! And those three know who they are and need not to be pointed out for they feel bad knowing this now. And after I left them strict instructions to consult me before trying to relocate it if it was needed for this would happen!" Olandrik said and stormed off floating up and lightning flowed out of him to repair the crystals before they break.

Alterik sighed. "Nope I wasn't told about. as he said if you remember and think on his own words. "The three he told" I was there when it was moved. The 3 dragon mages who all out cold now was the ones he told. They said it was safe to put it in the air. So my top mages in my army and myself helped as it takes 3 dragons and 3 phoenix's to do this kind of relocation." He said huffing.

Sardin sighed. "I wish he would have told me but he never tells me anything important. Which I feel is because he hates me due to my mother." Sardin sail and looked up towards Olandrik. "If only father trusted me..." He said sighing and snorted smoke as he walked off to the front gate.
