Hidden Kingdom in the Glave

[Knux_nyan]

The home of the Green moon clan. Watchers over the realm of balance this is the home of many dragons and dragonkin. Entrance is only accepted to those trusted by the dragons.

Malross flew over the landscape as he ascended the hill. Once he reached the peak and flew over a large Castle and valley was revealed to the 2 riding on his back. Eclipse had seen the sight before and it still baffled him how glorious it looked. He looked back to see Sophia's reaction to it.

Sophia laid against Eclipse. She didn't seem mystified by this area as she looked over it with almost uncaring eyes.  

[Knux_nyan]

"We will land and you will depart my back. We must enter the castle on foot." Malross spoke as he landed at the entrance. He lowered his wings like a ramp to help the 2 off. Eclipse took Sophia's arm gently and helped her down to her feet.

Sophia didn't say anything, all she felt were Eclipse's hands which seemed to spark some life back into her as she hopped off the dragon's back. As soon as she stepped on the ground, the area of death around her seemed to have grown a bit, the skin on her neck and most of her back skin hadn't healed from when she was separated and then forcedly rejoined, resulting in a lot of dead skin, which was flaking off now, however Sophia didn't even seem to notice.

She held her head however a bit dizzy.

"We must hurry if we are to help her." Malross said as he walked ahead of us into the large structure. Eclipse helped Sophia along with a nod. "Almost there Sophia." He said as he pulled the key from his pocket. He looked around the large hall they walked through to see many green moon dragons giving them the stink eye. It seems whatever afflicted Sophia unnerved them.

Sophia continued on with Eclipse and Malross, her eyes started to turn black surrounding the entire eye until nothing was left in her eyes except for black.
"I feel....so cold..." Sophia said as her normal cherry blossom flowery scent started to dissipate  

[Knux_nyan]

"From here you go alone." Malross said as they stopped in front of a set of Large doors with a large keyhole in the center. The large dragon walked to the side of the door and layed down resting. Eclipse nodded to the dragon and held the key up before tossing it into the air. It glowed brightly before a light shot from it into the keyhole. There was the sound of a loud unlocking mechanism before the doors opened wide as light shine from within. Eclipse then led Sophia toward the light.

Sophia was walking with Eclipse until she felt her legs give out from under her. A thud noise was heard as she fell onto the floor just as they entered the room.

As Eclipse would turn around, her face had went pale, the most colorful part of her was her hair which seemed to have dulled a bit.  

[Knux_nyan]

"Sophia!" Eclipse helped Sophia to her feet just as the doors closed behind them closeing them off from the castle. They were now fully in the realm of balance. A mixture of light and darkness was all around them and it looked like they were floating even tho they stood on solid ground. "Just a bit further." He said.

Sophia didn't seem like she'd be alright in here for too long, but her face was strained like she was trying to fight back whatever was happening to her.

She tried to get back to her feet but she kept falling over.
"urgh I can't get up."  

[Knux_nyan]

Eclipse helped her forward but stopped as he felt the familiar presence.
'Are you afraid?'
A soundless voice said in the air. It was directed at Sophia.

"mmhmmm, of being separated from Eclipse" she said to the voice.  

[Knux_nyan]

'is that your true fear? or is that your shield?' The voice asked as Eclipse just remained quiet.

"I don't know" Sophia shouted
"I don't know my fears because a lot of them have already happened to me. Ive been a nobody, ive lost Eclipse many times and I don't want to lose him again. ive been alone, thrown into the abyss, abandoned, left for dead. I might be afraid that im getting in my friend's way with as many times as they have had to save me from, in essence, myself!"

She felt the darkness pull her under more.
"I still don't know why I hate Kalena to such a extent as I do. Mabye it was pushed onto me because Kelina hates DK but there's a reason there, cuz I spent so much time around her and it became second nature to hate one person because of one petty thing!"
