The planes took the whole day to travel and arrived in the morning where Mr Heinz was. The wizard had long waited for them and when he heard the planes landing he knew it were them. He got out and walked to them. Mrs Heinz got out first shouting at the witches to take out all the weapons and the operations to the garage. The bodyguards did so running in and out from the plane to the garage taking everything inside. The other witches joined the ones that were with the wizard. The goblins and elves were also transported inside to start working. Mrs Heinz and the wizard hugged and kissed. They hadn't seen each other for years. The twins got out excitedly and ran to hug their father. He indeed looked different, he wore a long black jacket with pointy shoes, his gown too long and grayish, and he also wore a black hat. They walked inside, it was very busy. The wizard was busy fixing his operations after John had destroyed them. He seemed to be winning. After that wild goose chase with John, he realized he had to continue with his plan with or without him and he started afresh taking other kids besides the one John freed and helped to escape. He built new machines, fixed the broken ones, made new pourshins and ointments, made new weapons for the army and powerful swords which had the pourshins magic making them to be undefeatable. So machines were up and working, the witches doing what they were told to do, killing those kids and this time with no mercy at all. The twins were terrified that both their parents were villains working together to destroy the world. They were both the same even though they didn't expect it from their father. The wizard took them to the room where he kept the yellow gemstone and showed it to his wife. He spoke confidently "We now have the yellow sapphire and I believe the others have already taken the other ones' ', said the wizard with a smile. The twins were so confused and frightened of their mother who looked different too, she was a witch like the others. She had long horns, her eyes different and ears tapped but what they hadn't forgotten were Elaine and the other girls. They thought they were in the same plane with them cause they didn't see them leave or stay behind and they had left early in the morning so they thought to have left with them. Alexis asked as their parents were busy looking at the enormous gemstone "Mom where are Elaine and the others? I thought they left with us, didn't they or they left early in the morning to their homes?", she asked, looking away, scared to look at her. The witch got provoked hearing her child asking her about those kids. She hated them and wanted them dead, she answered angrily "Those weren't your friends, they are backstabbers (the twins looked at one another) they are the ones who drugged you to sleep and the reason why your home was like that. I had to fight them (she could see they were confused and opened her hands showing them in a vision what had happened) They attacked me knowing I was weak and I couldn't stop them. Those friends of yours are our enemies from now on", explained ILiara holding them both from their shoulders. "But how aren't they humans? Where do they get these powers and magic? I just don't understand, why would they?", asked Alexa, terrified by her mothers hands. "Umm it turned out they are supernatural just like you. You two just have to train for you to know your powers too. You, I and your father are not like them, we are different, we witches but although your father is a wizard. You see that's why the world wants us dead, they see us as a threat because we are different from them so what we doing here will help you too to have our own world without them. They will have to die because they are coming to kill us and this gemstone together with that emerald I gave you will be handy for us to benefit what ours' ' , replied ILiara. "So that's why they have been distancing themselves from us and no wonder when Suzette tried touching the was this electric shock between us but what about Matilda? What's her story and what's ours? (the twins spoke at the same time, their evilness was starting to show, the memories restored to who they truly were) We need to know everything from where this started and how we train. (They were already seeing Elaine and the others as the bad ones and as enemies)", said Alexis ready to know about everything together with her sister. The wizard and the witch sat them down and told them how it all started to what really happened from when and where, who they killed and what's not. They even told them about Matilda and her mother and why and how she died. How their world was destroyed and how this war between them started and why they needed their own world, they told the story from their king, Dragon Slair to the others And it all made sense to them now. Elaine was behaving weird from ever since that day till now with Alice and Suzette. Matilda had gone missing and was never seen again. It was all Suspicious. To the secret meetings, lying about being sick and dodging school, it all made sense now. Matilda was preparing them to fight them and to kill them, even to begin with the attitude they had the other day. The twins were already aware that they had to kill them first and they were just greedy because of their powers. Their mother told them "Evilness is within us, it's in our bloodline no matter what we do they will always be our enemies and they will always fight us and destroy our plans even to your kids but where the emerald?", asked ILiara. Alexis went out to search for it in her staff, but she didn't find it and went back to them. "They took it, Elaine took it", said Alexis remembering how Elaine looked at it. The witch asked angrily "How, how did they know you had it? I told you not to lose it". "It fell out from the drawer while I was searching for my necklace and Elaine saw it and started asking questions, damn that little witch", replied Alexis angrily. "Useless, damn I should have killed those little brats while I still had the time", said ILiara looking outside the window. "Don't worry those kids will bring it to us. They will definitely come to stop us so we will take it from them like a piece of candy. You girls just have to start with your training", said the wizard. They were still talking when one witch entered, the one who attacked John in the train. His name was DC. He stood next to the twins and asked "Sir, where can we place the King's body? it's the only thing left now", he asked, looking the wizard in the eye. "Take it to the room operation room, place it in one of the beds' ', replied the wizard walking out. He called one doctor and told her to prepare the bed for Dragon Slair and she walked out to do so. "Okay, sir", answered DC walking out. The wizard followed him. ILiara stood outside the door waiting for them. The witches lifted dragon Slair up, taking him inside the garage and placed him into the bed, the doctor was done preparing the bed. The wizard directed them, telling them to hold him tight. He even called for more witches to help them place him in bed. ILiara followed them behind together with the twins to show them their king. They entered the room and stood beside the bed. ILiara pulls the blanket away from Dragon Slair, she touches him. She spoke crying "He died just after the war. I got a call from Astraea telling me he had been killed. When we got there we didn't find his corpse. We went back home but luckily a few months later we got a call telling us where he was buried by a trusted source of ours. He told us exactly where it was but the problem was we couldn't find his killers even now but we won't give up, and that's why we need all the gemstones to wake him and get our powers from the Phoenixes and to rebuild our world", said ILiara tears falling from her chicks. The wizard too wanted to cry but he held his tears. He wouldn't cry in front of his kids. The twins stood there watching Dragon Slair lying dead on the bed. The doctor came and closed him with a blanket. The wizard walked out with ILiara, the twins stood there, it was like there was some connection between them and Dragon slair. They waited for the doctor to leave, they opened him again. Voices spoke to them. They couldn't hear what they were saying. They lifted their hands and from their hands some dark magic came out there, they felt powerful, strong and undefeatable. They touched him from his forehead. The connection strengthened, the power came out more and they both stood on the two sides of the bed. ILiara went back to check them. She found them standing next to him. She didn't see what they were doing. She just saw them standing from the door and the blanket kind of secreted them, she shouted "Hey! What are you doing here? come here", she said standing from the door, shouting at other witches passing carrying bottles of pourshins to hurry up. The twins quickly closed the king as she looked away and walked out to her. "Follow me", she said, going to the next room. The twins followed her and she entered the room. There was a woman sitting there. She had horns like her mother and was old. She sat them down. "This is my girl, the one I told you about '', said the witch. "Okay then", replied the woman with a loud scary voice. She was too scary with long nails, big eyes wearing black clothes. It was an Indian sari that she was wearing. "Girls this is mother Agatha. She will read your minds to test if you're powerful enough", said ILiara walking out to stand outside the door. The wizard had gone outside with some witches. They were waiting for the ones who had gone out to find more kids. They indeed found them, their plane was seen from the sky preparing to land. It landed and the kids were taken inside forcefully. There were too many of them, young boys and girls. They were dragged inside the garage straight to the rooms where the others were kept. The wizard followed from behind with the man in a suit. That man was Dreadlock. He was tall in height, thin with bold hair. He was the one who was the trusted source, the one who told them where their King was buried. He came from the north, a normal doctor, good at crimes and a killer man. He used to own an army of soldiers back in the days but he was also a powerful soldier and no one could face him nor his army. He was taken to matial schools at a very young age where he learned martial arts and how to use guns. After he finished training that's when he started his own army. It fought for years and came out victorious everytime. He fought almost in all countries but then it all came to an end in the 2nd war. His soldiers died there, even his whole family. He then spent his life on the run searching for a safe place. He did find that and found that place in New york. He became a doctor but he kind of got involved in crime selling people's private parts and organs. But that didn't last long. He got caught and went to jail. He was arrested for like 8 years, he didn't finish his sentence. The second war freed him. He was able to survive all the tragedies. He then ran away from the prison, went to another country to start over. Life got more difficult then he was poor with no income. He then became a thug, stealing gold, robbing banks and selling drugs. He did that in many countries and he once again spent his life on the run. He traveled so far that he even crossed borders. That one day he was being chased by the police and he ended up getting on the wrong plane. That plane he got to was traveling outside the world. He got in and ran out of the plane as soon as it landed in a forest. The plane actually crashed and at least he survived with a few others. He then ran through the forest tryna find a town. That brings us to how he found out where dragon Slair was buried. He was now walking from the forest all tired and drowsy from this running. He bumped into the merchant which was sent to bury Dragon Slair. He was with four other merchants but they weren't enough so he decided to help them to bury Dragon Slair in the forest. He could see that this wasn't a normal person in fact a witch with long horns. He had seen them several times and fought some during the wars. He decided to walk with the merchant back home, that's when he found out more about the buried person, who he was and belonged to or they didn't tell him who killed him. The merchants had to move away and he ran away with it and got to the train station. He was never seen again until all his rands and gold were finished. That's when he realized he had a secret within him of the buried king. He then started searching about the witches, finding information about them and following them. That's how he found the wizard and his wife. He called and told them he knew where he was. The arrangements were made and he met with them. He showed them where Dragon Slair was buried From then he became their trusted source. They worked with him in this illegal business. He stole the kids and got paid up until now. He even became a business partner with the wizard. He made drugs and even prepared for the upcoming war. He also even trained the witches on how to fight using swords and knives and how to adapt as humans, even the wizard. He became the wizard's trusted friend. They walked inside the garage with him and the wizard "I think they have enough now, we can now finish our plan. It's already coming to action soon", said the wizard. Dreadlock laughed and walked inside with him. Few minutes after they entered the garage. The Arolie sisters arrived with their army. They finally found out where iLiara had gone and simply by following the plane. They landed on the ground. The Arolie sisters went inside the garage whereas the army remained outside. They opened the door, the wizard wasn't so far he was standing just next to it in a hall with Dreadlocks. He peeked and there he smiled and walked to them. "It's always a great pleasure to see you", said the wizard walking to them, they shook hands and hugged. The Arolie sisters laughed all at the same time being heard in the whole garage "It's always a great pleasure to meet you too, William but where's ILiara?", asked the eldest Arolie sister. "She's just across that room", he said, walking towards her. ILiara had heard their laugh and she could recognize it from far. She was just walking to them when she came across them just in the hall. She smiled as she saw them come and the eldest Arolie sister hugged her. "Finally you've arrived, we've been wondering where you were '', said ILiara, who had already hugged them all. "It's always good to see you again ILiara and it kind of feels good to be back again", said the youngest Arolie sister. They walked with them to where the yellow gemstone was "We also have tw , the purple gemstone and the blue one from both kingdoms Avelon and Oceania. We just need three more", said the middle Arolie sister. The youngest went outside and came back with a couple of witches. They were carrying a box. They placed it down in the room. She opened it. The two gemstones were placed inside the box. They were taken out and placed next to the yellow gemstone. "I guess now we have to wait for Evelyn to come with the other ones'', said the wizard. "No, we can't, we have no more time left. We have to move to Atlanta as soon as possible. They will meet us there. Everybody knows the plan, we planned this years ago", said the eldest Arolie sister. "Okay then, we will move first thing at dawn tomorrow, now we just have to finish making all the pourshins and the weapons, I'm sure they are ready now", said the wizard walking out. The witches walked out too. "So where are the twins? Are they ready for the big fight?", asked the youngest Arolie sister. "They are in there, mother Agatha is testing their powers", replied ILiara. "Okay then if thats so I shall be the one to train them. Who wouldn't like to be trained by their Aunt", said the eldest Arolie sister. Mother Agatha came out as they were talking about the twins and had heard them talking. "That won't be necessary. The twins do not need any training. They are already ready for the war. They can defeat Matilda and those kids, their powers are more powerful. They are strong enough", she shouted as her mother approached and entered from the door. "There are others, who are those kids?", asked the Arolie sisters at the same time. "Yes, they too are very powerful, one Elaine has the Phoenix power child to John and Scarlett. Second child Alice, daughter to Kate and Scort. She controls water, the water Princess. The other one I couldn't see clearly even though her parents were so unclear", replied mother Agatha. "Then they must die if the twins are capable enough then they must be killed together with their parents. And I will be there to do so", said the eldest sister. "As I have said these kids are more powerful, especially the one with the Phoenix power", said mother Agatha. "Then as I have said we will kill them and the one with the Phoenix power we will have to extract the Phoenix power from her alive. Have you forgotten we've once done that?", answered the eldest sister. "Remember no mercy", said the middle sister. The twins entered "Well we are well prepared for them. I will kill Elaine myself", said Alexa, her eyes black. "And all the others' ', added Alexis agreeing with her sister. "Yes , that's the spirits girls. That all we need is kids, no mercy at all. We will kill them all with their parents and get what ours' ', said the youngest Arolie sister. She looked at mother Agatha, mother looked away. The wizard entered and found them standing, he saw the twins ``Ohh girls, these are your aunts, your mothers relatives, the Arolie sisters And sisters are the girls Alexa and Alexis' ' , said the wizard standing next to the twins. "Ohh , sorry , hello aunts' ' , said the twins at the same time. "And hello to you too, twins' ', said the youngest sister hugging both of them. The eldest sister bowed her head. She didn't like hugs and in the middle waved her hand at them. The twins bowed too and waved their hands. "I think it's time we had the ceremony for the girls. I think this afternoon is better. We shall leave first thing in the morning. It's a long journey by the way", said the wizard walking out. ILiara was long lost in her own world. She was kind of hearing voices although she couldn't recognize them. It was like they were tryna tell her something but suddenly they stopped. she got back to her normal self, she spoke "Umm the third child is Suzette. What I know is that she can control the minds of people and I somehow thought she was Lucida's child but no I was wrong, Lucida has no kids by the way let's get started with preparation for the ceremony. They all looked at her. It seemed like they'd forgotten she was even there. They all started moving and prepared for the ceremony. Elaine and the others entered the forest. It was all quiet in the forest and that was what worried them. And from far they could see some houses, it was like some kind of a village. They walked to it. It was a long distance though. "I know this place. This is where she lives. My mother once took me here? We have to run before the path disappears and the gate closes. It only opens twice in the day now during sunrise and in the afternoon and the path is the only trail that can lead us there if it disappears and we still in the road we will either perish or if we survive the storm we will have to wait for the next day and we can't we have to move, we have no time", remembered Matilda running, her humanness was fading away. She was becoming a puppet again. They all ran as fast as they could and got to the gate as fast as they could before it closed. They were already inside when it shut. The path disappeared behind them. They were now inside the forest, They all looked around, Alice asked "Where to from here? there are so many paths in here (she counted them) six of them and they all look creepy and scary", she said confused. Matilda thought and remembered what her mother told her years ago and which path they used. "We will have to go through the fourth one", she said pointing to it. "But those ones are too long and too dark. It seems to be the creepiest of them all. Lets try the short ones' ', cried Aurora scared. "Then you won't make it to the village, you will die before getting there, the fourth one is the only one that leads to the village", replied Matilda walking to it. The others followed by lighting their touches on their phones. The path was indeed creepy. The trees were slowly swinging in the wind making soft creepy sounds, leaves were falling from trees. They were so quiet and moving slowly in fear. A branch fell in front of them as they were walking. The girls screamed and jumped backward. Matilda turned around and looked back, she took Alice's phone and lit where the branch had fallen. She laughed as soon as she saw it was just a branch of a tree. "Guys come on, it's just a branch of a tree", she said, still laughing and continued walking. The others followed, Aurora held Elaine's hand, she was still scared. She always felt safer when she touched her. They continued walking but just after a moment they felt a strong wind. The trees shook, others fell down. The scariest sound of a crying owl was heard from the sky. The girls stood back again scared. " I think we should go back, I'm starting to feel weird about this forest", said Alice looking back but she was also scared of the way back. "That was a night owl. It guards people entering the forest and if you've chosen the right path it flies to warn the people in the village", said Matilda continuing to walk. The others followed, still scared, trees falling from behind them. Matilda eventually came to a stop, which was logg in front of them. "We have to ride this logg in order to get to the village. I will sit in front", she said while getting in the logg. Aurora followed riding behind her, Elaine, Alice and Suzette sat at the back. A hole opened in front of them. It was a cave having some kind of a path. The logg entered. It traveled fast moving up and down passing the stalactites and stalagmites. Their faces facing down and up from the cave hanging. They were so scared that they would fall screaming so loudly. It was indeed a bumpy ride but quite fun though and scary. The logg came to a stop within a few seconds shooting out straight from the cave and landed safely on the ground. The hole closed behind them. The sun was already up and it was too hot outside. They got out of the logg, tired and thirsty, their heads spinning and their heart's beating so fast. They looked around and there the village was. They walked to it. They passed unusual animals worse than the ones they saw at the fairy kingdom. They were looking at them and not moving. From the village gate stood the people of the village and the night owl sat from a big tree watching them looking so scary with huge eyes. "When we get there we say we are looking for mother Theresa", said Matilda leading the way. They approached them and stopped as they were closer to them. One man spoke "Who are you kids? What are you doing here?", he said with a loud scary voice having a long beard. "We are nobodies just looking for mother Theresa", answered Matilda. "You are looking for mother Theresa, what for at your age? Who sent you kids?", asked the man. "We were hoping she would train us' ', answered Matilda again. The others stood quiet whereas Aurora stood behind Elaine and Alice frightened by the man. "Why should we call her that? We don't know who you are, kids and how you found us?", asked another man, he was rather calm. "I'm Matilda, daughter to the late queen Lindsay of the fairy queen", replied Matilda . Elaine followed "And I'm Elaine daughter to Scarlett and John, and a granddaughter to Mr Goldberg '', she said shaking. "And I'm Alice, daughter of Kate and Scott", she said, also shaking. Aurora slowly came out "And I'm Aurora from the fairy kingdom. Daughter to the present king and queen", she said shyly, holding her hair. Suzette was the only one left and they were waiting for her, Elaine whispers in her ear "You can speak, don't be afraid they won't throw you out", she said, holding her hand. Suzette calmed down and spoke "And I'm Suzette, daughter to Lucida and ... (she cuts) Mark '', she said, shaking from fear. Matilda added "My mother and I used to come here back in the olden days before I was made young again", she said trying to make them remember. "We do know all your parents, especially Mr Goldberg but as for Lucida she was once an enemy to us but it's nice to see her kid tryna do good", said an old woman. Older than everyone who was there. "Kids follow me, this is where mother Teresa is' ', said the grumpy man. They followed him from behind rushing as he was entering the gate. There were not so many people in the village. There were only a few, all dressed black and red. There were a few animals inside the village. These people were training. Some stood in a group training with swords. One was training in martial arts, one with sticks, one breathed out fire, the other one disappearing, one was kind of dancing but sort of fighting, the kids were just confused to what she was doing. One girl stood alone far from the others. She was playing with fire in her hands. She was breathing it in and out. The man said "There were many of us back in the day. Many of us died during the wars and this is what left us and you see that girl, that one breathing fire, Angela. She's the only one left of her tribe and also the one doing the dance fight, her brother and her are the only ones who survived in their tribe but they are one of us now", he said pointing to those people, he continued "Your parents have played big roles in protecting this world from evil especially Mr Goldberg and you Suzette will play an important role in this. Your mother's done a lot of bad things but that would change because of you and your heart", he said. Mother Teresa was inside a hut and saw them coming from far. She waited for them outside and shouted as they got closer. "Girls, I was expecting your arrival but rather to be earlier", she said, hugging each one of them. "We got delayed. There was an unexpected war in the fairy kingdom so we had to join in the fight", explained Matilda for their late arrival. "So where are the others, the king and queen?", asked Mother Teresa, seeing Aurora with them bringing her close to her. "They went to find the other kingdoms together with the other survivors of the fairy kingdom", replied Matilda. "Ohh at least they did survive, who were the attackers?", she asked worriedly. "It was none other than Evelyn with Oscar joining hands with Jessica", answered Matilda again. The man intervened "Mother, we've got no time left. We have to move, they will soon in fact tomorrow be headed to Atlanta", said the man, his name was Emir. " I know that's why we have to train these kids fast. They will come handy especially you (she pointed at Elaine) You hold a special power in you young lady. We shall move first thing in the morning just make sure all the warriors are set and tell them to prepare for leaving first in the morning. The witches will arrive by dark for the full moon", replied mother. She went back inside the hut and took the keys with her jacket. "Okay man shall do '', answered Emir, going back to the others to send the message. "Girls follow me?"said the mother walking to where they would train. The girls followed her, Aurora was walking with mother Theresa. She just became fond of her. They got to a big field and in the far left of it was a hut. There stood six soldiers, two girls and four guys. They were the ones who were going to help them train. They were part of the warriors and known to be the most powerful warriors of the Triads. They stood there in the field. Mother separated them each one stood in her own field. "Mom said you should also train me too", said Aurora telling mother, the girls had forgotten about that. "Okay then stand there", said mother Theresa pointing here to a little field. The warriors walked to them, they stood next to mother Teresa. "Then you warriors will help them and see how they train, help them where they can't because I won't be here to see them. They all went to whom they saw they could help. They greeted one another. "Girls , these are the Triads warriors, our warriors. We call ourselves the "Triads''. They will be helping you to train but we will first start with you Alice since you're in the first field. You can warm up the others as I'm still busy with her", she said headed to Alice. "Alice standing next to you is Natasha. Your mother and father are Kate and Scott. Both of them are known for fighting for greater good. Your mother is from kingdom Oceania, no wonder you have the power to fight with water and control it whereas your father is a well known soldier. He fought in so many armies and in wars and came out victorious everytime so you took both your fathers side and your mothers. She will only teach how to fight like your father, trust me she's good and then you will close your eyes after training with her holding this stick in your hand. It will take you to your great grandparents and they shall teach you how to fight with water", said Mother Theresa leaving them to train. She went to Suzette. "Suzette standing next to you is Sam. You're a daughter to one of the most powerful villains in the world or was. The most fearsome woman and the most powerful sorcerer in the world and your dad too being the most powerful sorcerer, Mark. But your parents were once enemies but your mothers did bad things in the past but finally she learned the truth. She healed but she's done bad things too Which no one expected. She betrayed the witches, her friend ILiara but we are not there, let's continue. As I've said your mother and father are both powerful sorcerer's having different powers due to their different tribes. You kind of inherited those powers. You can read and control the brains of your opponents, even your friends. You can also see between the past and the future. You can also cast spells and fight martial arts from your father. Then from your mother, you hold the dark power. Your mother's grandfather was a witch and he got married to sorcerer, your grandmother that's why you hold the dark power. A very deadly one, it destroys everything, it even kills. You can also change voices and speak different voices and command people to do what you want. But you are stuck between good and bad. It is up to you to choose which path you want to follow. You can also wake the dead. It has been for years that your family had that power to wake the dead ones, the witches and that gift has been passed to you. You share their ancestry and that's why sometimes you find yourself confused and hear their voices. But then your father has also gone to martial arts school and how he learned it then we shall be teaching you. She will be and after that you will take this stick. You will close your eyes and you shall connect with it from then you will see unfamiliar faces. These people will train you and show you how to use your powers", said mother Teresa leaving them to train and went to the next girl, Aurora. "Aurora before you stand, Nina. She will be teaching you martial arts but then you are the daughter to the present king and queen. You're the princess of the fairy kingdom. In your hands you hold a very special power. You can turn inanimate things to life, a tree to a human, rocks to birds just like what you did to Matilda. You turned her back to a human although she's a puppet again but you helped her. In short then you give life. You can also restore nature. You have a special connection with it, no wonder you're the fairy of life and earth. You will turn dead flowers to life again. That's how interesting and awesome your power is but you are still young now, we will have to teach you according to your standard. You will learn as you grow older about your powers and shall know how to use them. You also have the green magic in your hands. And all that from your mothers side. Now from your father, your father is also from the fairy kingdom. He is also powerful. He was once a soldier and a leader of the soldiers. He holds no special power except for his sword, the one which has the special power. He fights with it and it kills trust me. He's undefeatable with it. He has fought in so many wars and has come back alive many times. That's why he made the swords for the soldiers too. You shall hold it one day when you get older. So then Nina will teach you martial arts and then you will take this stick, hold it and connect with it. Once you've connected with it you shall appear in different places with unfamiliar faces. Those people will teach you how to use your powers, okay. I shall leave it then, Nina you can start" , said mother walking to the next girl, Matilda. She finds her already training with the warrior learning some of the steps. "I shall take it as if you've already met each other but Matilda this is Dani. Matilda, you're the most powerful fairy. Being the daughter of queen Lindsay. Born to both a human and fairy. No one wonders if you appear as both. You already know a lot of things, you've seen them and experienced some and you already know all of your powers. And you are already aware of the great danger this war posees to the world and to human kind. And how powerful and evil our opponents are. You are the dragon fairy. The dragon of flames. That power you hold is very powerful; it protects the fairy kingdom and the whole world. No one wonders if your birth posed a threat to ILiara and the other witches. They wanted you dead, they knew you would turn out just like your mother and a threat to their friend Jessica. That dragon of yours with its power is quite dangerous to them. It can burn them all to ashes and be no more. The Phoenix power shall leave your body soon, don't be amazed it found its soul. So now Dani will teach you martial arts ? From your fathers side, you already know it but he will also help you remember it. Then take this stick and connect with it. It will take you to an unfamiliar place you've never been to. You will see some familiar faces and not. Those people will help you remember who you are. They will give life again but only if you pass the trials. You shall return to yourself again but it doesn't mean the curse will be broken. I shall then leave to train, Dani you can continue '', said mother walking to the last girl, Elaine. Elaine and the warrior were also training. He was teaching her how to fight with a sword. "I shall take it you've met too. "But before you Elaine stands Thomas. One of my powerful trainees. He is the leader of the warriors. The six warriors. He follows his father Emir. Elaine, you hold a special power in your hands. The greatest power of all times. The power our enemies are longing for. You hold both the dark and red phoenix powers. I take it you've seen the two birds already in your dreams. Both being male and female. They've been communicating through you in your dreams but it's no surprise the Phoenix power is running in your family. You're the daughter to Scarlett and John, granddaughter to Goldberg and to the king and queen of the Riven Kingdom, your mothers parents. You are the light and the powerhouse. No wonder you are powerful on your own. Except for the Phoenix power. You have universal power. You can unite, restore, and you can also protect the whole world with its people and keep all the planets protected. Your mother is from the Riven Kingdom. She's the lightning queen. She fights with the storm. Those are her powers taken from her mother, the queen of the Riven kingdom. Your grandfather being an ass kicker. The Riven kingdom can read and tell the weather, no wonder your mother inherited that power. That power is considered powerful and special to the Rivens, no one wonder the only chosen ones have it in your family. Nor is your mother powerful but also the soldier too trained from the Rivens. They are powerful and great in battle. They carry swords powered by the lightning power. Your father on the other side disappeared and carries the dark Phoenix sword and the red Phoenix sword with your grandfather. You carry a great responsibility in your hands and are gifted from both maternal and paternal sides. So Thomas will teach martial arts and after you are done. You shall take this stick, hold it and connect with it. It shall take you to an unfamiliar place you've never been to. You shall see unfamiliar faces and those people will teach you more of your powers", said mother Theresa leaving them to train. She went back inside the hut. It was hard learning all the ways. They would strip and fall, get up and learn again, hurting themselves while training. Taking it easy step by step, learning them bit by bit until they got it and challenged the warriors and won. One by one they took the warriors down and defeated them. The warriors then left them to practice their next phase. They all took their sticks and held them connecting with them. They had taken them to those places and had seen those faces but they were the fighters of the past, their guardians and they trained them. They were seen fighting from far whereas their eyes closed. They tried again and again mastering it all. They failed many times and got back up. They were shouted at, no one knew what they were seeing except for them and Mother Theresa. They were going through tests and trials and they had to pass them all. Mother Theresa was preparing something for them. The warriors entered "So are they ready?", she asked. "Yes, all of them, even the young one, '' answered Freddy. The journey was too long, the car drove fast and never stopped. They once had stopped for food and rushed back to the car and ate in it. They took turns driving it, Mr Dedekind and Mr Mackenzie like the first time they did so but also the wives too. Mr Goldberg read the map from his compass telling them where to go. They finally got to where they were going, the first place in the Mountains of Ethar. The car stopped at the gate. It was a beautiful place filled with mountains and green grass, it had this beautiful nature. Rivers and streams were running next to the mountains, birds flying up in the sky humming. Mrs Mackenzie saw how fooled they were, this place was rather a distraction, it was not as beautiful as it seemed. It killed a human kind. She said "So these mountains are a maze. We will have to pass them and find the path out of it and if we don't we will be stuck here forever and shall die", said Mrs Mackenzie. "But how are these just mountains? I see no maze here", asked Scott with the others agreeing with him. "It is, you will see that once we drive through", replied Mrs Mackenzie. "Okay then if you say so", Mr Dedekind drove over to the first mountain. They looked like nothing compared to a maze. It was just a place filled with mountains everywhere, surrounded by trees and birds. There was a straight visible path leading the way, there was no way they'd be stuck in a maze, I mean how it was not it. Mr Dedekind drove the car and passed the first mountain. The birds were all up humming so loud in the sky not that it bothered them but at first it didn't. It was rather not that scary. The sun shone brightly over the place, giving it a lovely view. They were just admiring the place so ignorant. The car just came to a dead end, there was a wall in front of it, side by side, there were mountains. The only way out was for them to drive back. "I told you this is a maze. We must find a way out and it's only a pity that it changes every year. You can't cramm the way out in the maze", said Mrs Mackenzie. "So what now? We go back", asked Mrs Dedekind looking from the outside. There was indeed no way out. "Yeah, let's go back and try another way" , replied Mrs Mackenzie. The car drove back to where they started but the problem was, it was still the same path. "Let's go in again, maybe there's another way", said Mr Goldberg. The car drove back in again. This time it drove slower than the first time, there were two paths now "I'll try this one", said Mr Dedekind driving to it. The car drove through the path. It seemed promising, turning to the other path but it came to a dead end again. "So what now? Do we go back again?", asked Mr Dedekind. "Yeah I think so", answered Mrs Barker. They drove back but the problem was as they drove back. They got to another path, into another dead end. The car just came to a stop, it hitted a wall, they turned back. "Not again we are stuck in another dead end", complained Mr Dedekind. "But there's another path there, let's try it", said Mr Goldberg looking out the window from the other side. The car drove past it. It was too much of a dead end. It was rather a river and no one could see that. "It's another dead end. What do we do now?", asked Mr Dedekind. "Guys I think the car is actually lowering, can you feel that?", asked Mrs Mackenzie. "Yeah we can feel that", answered Mrs Dedekind. "No I mean for real, it's sinking especially on my side", said Mrs Mackenzie. "Then you are probably fat but then you are slender", said Mr Mackenzie looking out the window. The car was actually sinking. They were in a river. It was too deep and that's why the car was drowning. "Actually she's telling the truth we're drowning", said Mr Mackenzie slowly, the water rising up to his window. "So what now? I won't be able to drive us out of here. And I can't see, the car is drowning and we are stuck. The windows are not so clear and we really are stuck. I just don't know which way to drive to", said Mr Dedekind, also looking outside. The water had already covered his window and the front one. He couldn't see anything. "I will swim up to the surface and see what is happening, whether there is a way out", said Mrs Mackenzie. "Then I will go with you", Mrs Dedekind said. They both swiped out to the upper surface. They looked from both sides. They first couldn't see anything until they felt something moving and the water lowering. "Can you see that? There two paths opening, the mountains are disappearing", asked Mrs Mackenzie sinking in the water. "Yeah, so which way now?", asked Mrs Dedekind, feeling cold. "We will have to try that one, the car can swim there I guess", answered Mrs Mackenzie. "I think you're right it's too near from where we are", agreed Mrs Dedekind. They then swimmed back to the others. Mrs Barker had long started complaining. They banged the windows for the others to open the doors. They opened them and they entered. "Then, is there a way out? I can't breathe in here, I'm asthmatic", asked Mr Dedekind. "Yeah there is, turn on the light on the paddles and then drive this way up to the surface. The path up there", replied Mrs Mackenzie so fast, it was too hot in their car. Mr Dedekind did so and drove up to the surface but the water just dried itself up as they got up to the surface. They then moved to the next path. "I think the paths open exactly after every 15 minutes. Look what time it is, the other two paths opened exactly at this time. My clock went from 10:00 and stopped at 10:15. It didn't continue. It started from ten again and when it reached 10:15 the paths opened and we moved to another one. It becomes a dead end meaning we will have to move fast to the next one immediately at 10 :15 and stay there and wait for another 15 minutes after for two paths to open. Maybe that's how we will get out of here", said Mr Goldberg. They looked at their watches. It was indeed 10:05, five minutes had passed. They had to wait for another 10 minutes. They then waited, they were on a dead end and exactly after 15 minutes three paths opened. "Which one now? There are three", asked Mr Dedekind. "Umm the one in the middle '', answered Mrs Dedekind. They were all confused. "Guys time is passing, 3 minutes down", cried Mr Mackenzie. "Drive to the one in the middle '', replied Mrs Barker to save time. They all agreed and drove to it. The car parked there and waited. It was long when they felt the ground moving. "Is it time already?", asked Mrs Barker. "No it's not, there's still 9 minutes more. "So what is it?", asked Mrs Barker. They all looked outside the windows, the mountains were moving closer to them, fast in motion. "What time is it, these mountains are going to crush us", cried Mrs Dedekind. "We still have 8 minutes more here", answered Mr Goldberg. They felt the car bending from the back, they all looked back. It bends in front. "How many more minutes? It's getting hot in here, my window is cracking", asked Mrs Mackenzie. "Five minutes left", shouted Mr Mackenzie. The car kept on bending in all sides, the windows were breaking, the front light also broke and the seats moved closer together and the was no more space in the car. Everyone faced down in their seats, it was too hot. They were all sweating. The mountains suddenly dissapeared, four paths opened. The car was bent in all side but luckily nothing broke down from the inside. They all got up one by one. "Four paths have opened, what now?", asked Mrs Barker fixing her glasses. "I also don't know. We almost got crushed from the last one", answered Mr Mackenzie excusing himself. "We got no time, drive to the last one" , replied Mr Goldberg in a hurry. Mr Dedekind did so and drove to the last one. The car parked there. "I wonder what will happen now", said Mrs Barker looking outside. "Whatever it is. I don't wanna know. I almost died in there", replied Mr Dedekind. They sat waiting in the car but nothing happened. The mountains just dissapeared and five paths opened. "This paths keep on getting more and this is getting annoying now", said Mr Dedekind angrily. "We still have to choose a path. Nothing happened in the last one. We have choose carefully this time again", said Mrs Barker. "I think we should try the second one, the one down there", said Mrs Mackenzie pointing to it. "What if it has another booby trap in it?", asked Mr Mackenzie. "Okay then, what about that one? the fourth one. Its seems rather promising", answered Mrs Dedekind. "Promising is not a word here, neither are you sure", replied Mr Dedekind. "Okay then you choose driver!", shouted Mrs Dedekind. "Now it not time to argue and time going, six minutes down, which one decide?", shouted Mr Goldberg looking at the time. "Okay, the fourth one", answered Mr Dedekind driving to it. The car entered in that path and they felt they've been there before. And Of Course they've been there, it was the same path they used to get in. "Damn, we're back from square one, actually what's happening here?", asked Mr Dedekind. It's a pattern of some sort, we waited for fifteen minutes the first time and one path opened after then more opened like a pattern one to two, two three and continuously. And each path was different. Some had booby traps and some did not. Like the first one didn't but the second we chose did so meaning we have to figure out the pattern. We will have to wait for the paths to open again and look", said Mrs Mackenzie. "And we've been kind of moving in a circle which kind of led us back here. Like look from everywhere we've been from up this rock", said Mrs Dedekind standing from a huge rock. "Yeah but who knew we were traveling in a circle neither of us knew what to choose", replied Mr Dedekind also standing from the hill, Mr Mackenzie followed too. He was looking at the birds from the sky, they were kind of not flying and all frozen in one place. Fifteen minutes past. Six mountains disappeared and six paths opened. The birds flew to the next path moving in a straight line. They stopped on that path. Mr Mackenzie watched them flying and stopping. "I think we should follow those birds. I think they also stuck from this maze. I think they tryna fly out of here or use this as direction to where they want to go", he said looking at those birds not flying. "But how can't they just fly out? There are no mountains in the sky or any maze", asked Mrs Barker clueless. "It is possible, these are not birds. These are night owls, they can't see clearly during the day meaning they rely on the paths to direct them to where they should go. So in order to find their way back home they use the maze as the mountains disappear and the paths open and they move with them whereas where we are going it's where they headed so they definitely know which paths to follow so I agree with him we should follow them", answered Mrs Mackenzie. "Then we should drive back before the seventh path opens' ', replied Mrs Dedekind. "But how do we get back from square one?", asked Mr Dedekind. "We don't have to as soon as we drive through the maze from that path, we will find ourselves at the seventh path before it opens. The maze only continues, it doesn't stop or start again", replied Mrs Mackenzie. They then went back to the car, it drove from the exit and just in a second they found themselves in the seven paths opening. They peeked from the window and the birds flew to the next path. It was the third path they flew to. They followed them, there were no booby traps. They went following them up to the 10th one when the clouds changed. It rained. It rained so hard that they could no longer see the birds. "So what now? We can't see the birds and it's even raining inside the car", asked Mr Dedekind, shifting away from the window. "Perhaps it will rain just for fifteen minutes and stop", answered Mrs Dedekind. It never did, it continued raining and lightning. They were feeling cold in the car. Fifteen minutes passed and the mountains disappeared, 11 paths opened. "How do we know which one to choose? We can't see the birds and neither do we know which path to choose", complained Mr Dedekind. Mrs Mackenzie got out from the window and sat on it , she looked up and there were the birds flying, some of them had died because of the storm. They flew to the next path, she went back inside the car. "Drive to that path, the one opposite you", she said, sitting up straight and took a dry cloth to wipe her face. Mr Dedekind drove the car to that path but he had a problem. It got stuck somewhere, unable to move. "The car's stuck somewhere outside, it won't start driving", he said looking outside. Mr Goldberg and Mr Mackenzie went outside and shoveled it out of the mud. They came back soaking wet only having five minutes left to get into that path before it closed. Mr Dedekind drove fast to it. They waited, another path opened it and it stopped raining. This time only one path opened. "What now? Do we drive to it or do we wait for the others to open?", asked Mr Dedekind, now confused. "I think we will have to cross this path within the next fifteen minutes before it actually disappears and becomes a dead end, and we will be stuck in here forever", replied Mrs Mackenzie. "So it's already 10:00, you have to drive then", said Mr Goldberg. Mr Dedekind drove the car into the path, driving so fast. It was a long path though and the birds were also flying so fast. More mountains appeared in front of them tryna block them. He had to dodge them. He almost ran over one but luckily Mr Mackenzie starred the wheel to the left. It was exactly 10:15 when they got out of the maze. The car jumped and stopped on the road, the birds flew home. "At last we made it out", said Mrs Barker taking a deep breath. She never liked speed. The rain stopped and the sun came out. Mr Goldberg checked the time it was 08:50. He was surprised. He said "Actually the time has gone back to normal again", he said still not believing it. "Now where to?", asked Mrs Dedekind. "We will have to drive to a hill of tears", answered Mrs Mackenzie. "I'm not driving this time, Mark you drive", he said, throwing the keys to him. They swapped their seats and the car drove away to those hills. It was a long drive, an exhausting one but Mr Mackenzie drove so fast. They arrived by the gate and the car drove through. The hills were before them just after they passed the sand road. The hills were shaped like human heads. There was a path before them. A trail in between those hills. They had to drive through it. It was all quiet, the wind blowing the sand away. "We will have to drive through that path but we will have to be careful. Water comes out from the eyes of those hills, as you can see they are all the faces of all the people who died in here so we will have to swim away or drive fast so that the water doesn't catch up to us. That we do not drown in the water. That's what I can remember so far" , said Mrs Mackenzie pointing to those eyes. "When did you really come here, my dear?", asked Mr Goldberg. "It was probably 40 years ago with Dragon Slair when he came to hide the book here. I was really young, I don't remember everything", replied Mrs Mackenzie tryna remember. The car drove through the path driving at a normal speed. It was quiet for some time until Mrs Mackenzie shouted "Now! faster with all the speed", she said shouting from behind her man's seat. Mr Mackenzie drove so fast. From behind them the water came rushing, it was the whole sea. It was coming from those eyes of the hills. The water ran over everything, damaging and Washing everything before it. Mr Mackenzie drove so fast but the water was so close to catching up with them. "I can get out and try to stop them", said Mrs Dedekind. "No you can't, what if you threw it in there?", asked her husband, the others agreeing. "I won't, can't you see the water behind us and the patrol of the car is lowering. Let me go and slow this water down or else we drown'', she said begging. She could see the storm behind them. The car was so close to running out of patrol and her trying to stop the water was the only solution. "There's no need we can stand behind that rock, I'm sure the water would pass us' ', said Mr Mackenzie, the others agreed. It was a huge rock but their idea wouldn't work. "The water won't stop pouring out, in fact the rock too will wash away with water", disagreed Mrs Mackenzie. "Okay fine then, I will go with her '', replied Mrs Barker. They tried opening the doors but the doors were stuck. They got bent from the mountains of Ethar. They then got out from the back window in the car. Mrs Barker was so close to the window she got out first. Mrs Dedekind followed walking on top of the seats. Mrs Barker almost fell when Mrs Dedekind held her. The water was so close to drowning them when Mrs Dedekind raised her hands and stopped them. Mrs Barker helped her stop the water with her fairy magic. Mrs Dedekind then kneeled down breaking the ground making a big hole. The ground drifted apart making long deep holes from it and paths. Mrs Barker lifted her hands and controlled the water, swinging it from the sky and pouring it into the holes. The storm of water was over. They walked back to the car. The car stopped along the way. It had traveled some distance away from them. Another storm in front of them occurred. The hills before them were pouring out more water. They veered back. "Why are they stopping and driving back at us at such a speed?", asked Mrs Dedekind, stopping and watching the car drive back. "Perhaps they are fetching us", answered Mrs Barker, also stopping. Mr Dedekind was shouting tryna warn them. They couldn't hear him, he was too far and also the twos problem wasn't solved. The hills behind them too realized more water, so they turned back. "We have to run to the car or else we drown", shouted Mrs Dedekind running. Mrs Barker joined her too and ran with her. But as they ran, the ground started ripping apart, the water came out again. Luckily the car was so close, they ran fast and got in. Both of them entered at the same time. Mrs Dedekind squeezed in and entered, she was too slender. Mrs Barker got stuck, they had to pull her in. The water in front of them came rushing towards them like hurricanes. They looked behind them, it was hell too. The water was breaking out from the ground, shooting to the sky. The hills pour out more water. It was chaotic, they were stuck. They had to surrender. The water just broke from where they were from the ground and combined with the water that was in front of them, making a sea. They shot up the sky and came back to the water. They bumped on the roof of the car and the car spun around with them. But luckily they were all wearing seatbelts. The car sank all the way down and back to the surface. The water had made a sea from the hills. "I guess we will have to swim our way out", Mrs Dedekind said. "I don't think the water is still moving, it made a sea", replied Mr Dedekind. The car was moving along with the water, down into the hills. And the water had entered inside the car, their feets were sinking in them and their clothes were wet. The car was going up and down, running over hills, getting stuck and being washed away with the water. Mr Mackenzie couldn't control it. They peeked outside. The car now moved away with the water in a circle like it was being drained away. There was a hole before them. They would drown to it and never be seen again. "We have to do something or else we'll drown right in that hole and never be seen again", said Mr Goldberg. "Neither can I drive us out", said Mr Mackenzie. "We will have to swim out of the car in order to do that. I will try and freeze the water closing the hole or it won't be long", said Mrs Mackenzie. "I will help you on that", replied Mr Mackenzie. "Me and Mrs Barker will try to block those hills from pouring out the water", said Mr Goldberg. "And I will try to control the water", said Mrs Dedekind. "And I will try to drive the car out, stopping it from drowning", said Mr Dedekind. They all got out from the windows except for him. The water tried pulling them down because they were strong enough with their powers. Mr Goldberg and Mrs Barker swimmed up to the surface. Mrs Barker wished for a boat and sailed them across the water. They both used their powers to close the hills eyes from pouring out water. Mrs Mackenzie together with her husband tried creating a spell to freeze the water whereas Mrs Dedekind tried controlling the water from drowning them and stopping it from moving. Mr Dedekind tried starting the car, driving it up to the surface. But their plan didn't work, the storm was too much. The hills poured more water over Mr Goldberg and Mrs Barker. Their boat went down with them. There were too many hills, they couldn't close them all at the same time even if they tried they poured out more water. The ice would melt down very fast, no matter how hard the Mackenzies tried. They too drowned with the water. Mrs Dedekind felt the pressure of the water too much on her. She kept on trying but the water seemed to control her and drowned her down to the bottom and back up. Mr Dedekind couldn't drive the car out, it wouldn't start. They all drowned, moving away with the water. They tried getting up using their powers but the water was too much. It was like something was pulling them down. They were so close to drowning into that hole when the water fork striked through the water onto Mrs Dedekind's hands. She held it and spinned it around. The water spinned around in a circle. And the Avelon fire arrows burnt down the whole place causing the water to dry out whereas the water fork opened up a path for them to walk in. The water dried out whereas the Mackenzies, Mr Goldberg and Mrs Barker closed down the eyes of the hills. "We will have to move now before we drown again", shouted Mrs Mackenzie. They ran out of paths. Mrs Dedekind carried the water fork, opening the path for them. They ran away from it. The water dried out all of it. The ground was wet as ever whereas the sun was too hot as well. They ran to the car which sunk to the ground. Mr Dedekind had fainted in it. They got him out, pumped his chest and the water got out from his mouth and he woke up. They rode back to the car and got in through the windows. Mr Mackenzie took the arrows with him. They were about to leave when the circle of oracles appeared before them. They saw what had happened, saw their kids of which they had forgotten about for a while. They were at least relieved that they were with the witch. The oracle disappeared, Mr Mackenzie took the letter out of the arrows and read it from the arrows . Written "Meet you at destination Oz '' marked Atlanta at the end where the Phoenixes were. They tried driving the car but the engine was full of water, it wouldn't start. "We have to walk from here and it seems like all kingdoms were attacked", said Mr Goldberg, seeing the birds flying to them. "They sat on his shoulders and he took the letters. "They're from the Ciampa kingdom, from John meaning they had arrived safely at the Ciampa kingdom. We will read all these letters when we get to the fisherman's place. We've got no time to waste. It is now half past one on the clock", spoke Mr Goldberg again. "But walking to the forest isn't that too far?", asked Mr Mackenzie. That's when the Abjure came running from the wind and turned into a bird and carried them out. When the birds returned, Mr Goldberg wrote a letter. Letting John and the others know that they would meet in Atlanta whereas the arrows were sent back to the Avelons and the fairy kingdom and one bird was sent to Oceania. Whereas Mrs Dedekind decided to keep the water fork. The abjure flew them to the forest. They arrived within thirty minutes. The Abjure was sent to the sorceress to let them know about the witches' plan and back to the Riven kingdom. They stood at the gate of the forest. "Then what should we expect here?", asked Mr Dedekind, all looking at Mrs Mackenzie. "All I know is that it is worse than the mountains of Ethar and the hills of tears. We just have to run for our lives because it is about to get real out here by the way. We will have to expect the worst but what I can remember is that the ground reaps apart", replied Mrs Mackenzie. "Well then let's go, we've got no time, right?", said Mr Mackenzie. "No one is left behind, remember our first rule", said Mr Dedekind. "Ohhh there are also volcanic eruptions' ', added Mrs Mackenzie. "I guess you and I have warmed up our legs' ', said Mr Goldberg to Mrs Barker. They all laughed. Mr Dedekind opened the gate. They walked through the forest. At first, it was so calm, so quiet just the trees moving along with the breeze. It was fun walking under the shade of the trees, the breeze blowing at them. It was not long enough when they had just walked a few steps in the forest and they heard the volcano making a sound. Everyone knew it would erupt. They started running. The ground quaked, the rocks vibrated and the trees fell to the ground. From the volcano the volcanic liquid came out. The ground tore apart. The volcano moves into streams over the path made by the ground. The trees burnt down behind them, falling from the ground. The fire was too much, it traveled so fast over the trees. Some of the volcanic liquid shot out from the volcano. Causing the ground to erupt more and rip more apart. It shot over to them, the ground ripped into two parts. Mrs Barker and Mr Goldberg to be stuck in the other one whereas Mr Mackenzie together with the others stuck on the other side. The ground was ripping into pieces. The volcanic liquid filled all the spaces between them. They couldn't walk over. They only had to jump carefully. Mr Mackenzie looked around. He saw a rock, big enough for them to stand on and they had to jump over to floating pieces of the ground in order to get to it. He shouted over to Mr Goldberg and Mrs Barker ``We will have to jump over this piece up to that rock", he said yelling so loud. Mr Goldberg lifted his thumb to say okay. Both him and Mrs Barker did so, helping one another to jump onto the next pieces. The four were standing on a little piece of the ground, all surrounded and holding one another. "We will have to jump slowly and carefully over to that one", said Mr Mackenzie. "The woman can go first", said Mr Dedekind. Mrs Mackenzie jumped first, the piece shook a little and Mrs Dedekind almost fell but she held her. She then jumped to the second one carefully over to the other piece. Mrs Mackenzie held her. Mr Dedekind followed her, also jumping slowly. The problem was the piece was moving further away from the other piece as they were jumping over it. So Mr Mackenzie was the only one left and there were no other pieces next to him. They were all so far. The only one next to him was the one the others were in. He had to jump a little further with little speed. He moved back, the piece tilted. He almost slipped. He stood still for a while. He looked around. They were all looking at him. Mr Dedekind counted and when he reached three, he jumped over to them.They also almost fell but held tightly to one another. They did so over and over again until they got to that rock. Mr Goldberg and Mrs Barker got there first. They now stood on the rock surrounded by the volcano everywhere. They turned around the rock and there from far a forest was clear and not damaged. The volcano had stopped somewhere, unable to get through the walls. "So how do we get there? It is so far and these pieces are so tiny. We can't jump over them and some are too slippery", asked Mr Dedekind. "I can build a bridge over the volcano using these pieces of the ground", replied Mrs Mackenzie. He lifted all the pieces up and made a bridge. They crossed over it safely to the other part of the forest. The problem now was that the wall was too high. It was not as what they saw as they were standing on the rock. They now had a problem how to get up there. Mr Dedekind was good at climbing walls, he climbed it and jumped to the other side. He tried looking for an exit but it seemed like the wall was built strongly with no exit to the other side. To separate the two forests because this one was different. "There's no gate or something here, you will have to crawl over", he said. "Are you crazy as old as I am? how do you expect me to crawl?", asked Mrs Barker. "Okay fine, then don't", he replied. Mrs Mackenzie was busy lifting all the pieces of the ground to the other side building a continuous bridge so they could walk to the other side. She built it until they reached the other side and only left with the piece they were standing on and it could fall at any time. They crossed over the wall. Mrs Barker didn't notice when she stripped and almost fell. She held onto one of the pieces and they were also cracking. She looked down, all the pieces behind her had fallen. The bridge had gone down into ashes, the volcano burnt it. She shouted "help" so loudly, hanging from the air. Mr Golderg held her hand, Mr Mackenzie helped him too. That woman was heavy. They lifted her up, she was so close to falling. They crossed over the bridge to the forest. This forest was different from the other one. Its trees were shaped like palm trees filled with rivers and dams. "This forest is the one that eats you up alive", said Mrs Mackenzie. "Then quickly we will have to get out of here", said Mr Goldberg. They walked over to the trees and they weren't so far when their bridge behind them fell down to the ground. The ground was ripping into holes and it was digging itself out. "Run as fast as you can!", shouted Mrs Mackenzie holding Mrs Barkers. The ground was digging itself into holes. Everything was being consumed to the ground, they ran like the wind. Stopping and dodging those holes. The trees falling before them and the rivers and dams drying out. They ran so fast but before them a tornado raised up to the sky, everything moved to it. They held tightly to the other trees being blown away by the wind. The trees were slowly breaking from the ground and the ground consuming the trees. They had to let go. They let go and flew away to the tornado. They spinned around it. Mr Mackenzie took out his sword from his bag, spinned it around. The Phoenix magic filled the tornado, they all closed their eyes. The Phoenix magic moved with the tornado and stopped it. Everything fell to the ground and everything that fell to the ground got consumed by it. "What now? We can't go over to the ground. We will die in there", said Mr Dedekind, seeing all those things being consumed by the ground. Mrs Dedekind looked around and she saw a river still with water. She took the water knife and lifted them. She created water bubbles around them. They slowly landed on the ground. As soon as they landed the bubbles popped. The ground consumed them one by one . They tried getting out but they were stuck into the holes. Mr Mackenzie spoke to Mrs Barker's head since he couldn't speak out loud "Try and stop the ground from moving so we can get out", he said touching his mind. Mrs Barker closed her eyes and touched the ground. It stopped moving and they quickly got out. Mrs Barker opened her eyes and they ran away. But stopping the ground wasn't a good idea after all the wall broke down and the volcano flowed to the other forest. It damaged everything. The ground moved again. It consumed and tore up everything now, ripping more further now. Damaging everything. They ran to a bridge and behind them there was fire. The whole forest was burning. The ground consumed everything and it even consumed the volcano causing the volcano to shoot out from it. Spreading all over and the ground ripping so fast. They ran fast across the bridge but the staircases weren't so firm, the bridge broke out. They could fall at any time and would get burnt or the ground would consume them. Mr Mackenzie saw a tall tree. It was standing still. He was closer to the ground than the others and the volcano was so far from reaching them. He let go of the bridge and jumped over to the ground. He lifted the tree from the ground and made a bridge for the others. They quickly walked from it. The volcano moved so fast when Mrs Dedekind took the water fork and lifted the dam's water to stop the volcano. The water was not enough, Mrs Barker with Mrs Mackenzie built a wall before them. It slowed it down. They ran so fast not looking back but the ground consumed their wall. The volcano moved again. They ran as fast as they could. They could see the gate out of here from where they were. Mr Mackenzie broke a tree and took its stem and they rode it out of the forest. The ground almost consumed them when they shot out of the gate and everything in the forest burnt down to the ground in ashes. They all fell to the ground and the stem broke into two. "Now, we have to walk to the fisherman kingdom. It is closer from here. But we will have to fight a couple of soldiers by the gate", spoke Mrs Mackenzie getting up from the ground with the others. They then walked to the fisherman kingdom as they approached the kingdom there was an unpleasant smell. "What does that smell now?", asked Mrs Dedekind. They were all closing their noises. "Probably dead animals fed to the animal", answered Mrs Mackenzie. They walked by the gate and when they got there the soldiers were dead, all of them. They walked past them and entered the gate. They ran to the fisherman's place. The whole village was dead including the fisherman himself. The animal was gone together with the book. "Damn, Borra must have taken it first", said Mrs Mackenzie angrily. "Or they sent but how they spoke as if they didn't have it to?", wondered Mrs Dedekind. "Or maybe they sent someone else to take it", replied Mr Goldberg unsure of what he was saying. "It may be possible that Astraea may have taken it. Think about it he came here looking for ILiara so it's possible he may have taken it", replied Mrs Mackenzie. "But where is it? Cause we didn't find it at his tombstone", asked Mrs Dedekind. "Then it's somewhere in that place", answered Mrs Barker. Mr Mackenzie was busy moving around when he saw a shadow passing from the tents. He ran after it. The others followed him. Mr Goldberg and Mrs Barker stayed behind. "Hey, wait!", called out Mr Mackenzie running after that person. That person disappeared into a tent. They followed him and hid by the door. He came out and found them standing from the door. He had no other way to escape. Mrs Barker and Mr Goldberg followed them walking slowly. "I'm not stealing anything. I was just going to take these and run away", explained the man. "And we are not here to fight you, who are you?", replied Mr Mackenzie. "I'm Freddy, 'answered the frightened man. "We will just ask you a few questions after that we will let you go", spoke Mr Goldberg. The man agreed. He took them to another tent. That was where his family was. They greeted them and sat down. His family sat in a corner looking at them. "I can see you from here so I take it you know what happened here", said Mr Mackenzie standing next to the man whereas the others sat down in crates. "Yeah I'm from around. It was two weeks ago. The Fisherman had just left. He was here to give us the fishes. It was at dawn. I left with him. I was going outside the village to pick up moon flowers for my daughter who was sick. The moon flowers were far from here and I had to walk for hours up to those mountains. That's when I saw two strange airplanes landing onto the ground next to the village from up those mountains. I walked closer and peeked and I saw an army of witches walking out from it. I knew they were here for the wolf and the book. I picked up the moon flowers and ran back to the village to warn them. But by the time I got to the village everything was already down. The soldiers at the gate were already dead. I went to the fisherman's place, and I found him dead. The wolf and the book were taken. I then ran to my family. The kids had hidden there (he points to it), they told me their mother was fighting outside. I ran outside to find her. Everyone was dead, I was too late. I found her hiding in a tent and that's when I saw the two twin brothers, Astraea and Borra. They were here for the wolf and the book", replied Freddy explaining to them what had happened. "I told you, Borra and Astraea were the ones behind this' ', said Mrs Mackenzie. "But according to what I know, that's not what I heard. They said they still had to find where the wolf and the book were so how come they already had it?", asked Mrs Dedekind confused. "As you all know now, they already have it and maybe they saw you as they were still talking and pretended they didn't find it", replied Mr Dedekind. "Enough about that, Astraea and Borra are already awakening and by the time we get there they would have already left so the only thing we have to do is to prepare for war", spoke Mr Mackenzie. "Are you really sure it was Astraea and Borra who took it?", asked Mrs Dedekind. "Yeah, we sure, I know the twins. I've seen them numerous times with you (she points to Lucida recognising her) and their father", answered freddys wife, Sandra. She was confused why Lucida was with them and Mark. "Ohh Lucida is one of us now together with this man, Mark. It's just a long story", said Mr Dedekind, seeing she was confused. "If they already have the book to cast the spell and the animal it means they were looking for the wolf's soul and it was taken out from it. I remember I was there when Dragon Slair took it with him in his necklace", said Mrs Mackenzie. "But then why kill the fisherman? They had trusted him to look after the wolf", asked Mr Goldberg. "Everyone knew this would happen. They had to kill the fisherman because the wolf would only leave only when it saw its keeper dead", replied Sandra. "So after they killed our tribe and after they attacked us we decided to avenge ourselves joining the other kingdoms. We are leaving first thing at night. We already have everything planned, you can also join us if you want to", said Freddy. "We shall then join you plus we don't have any transport and we also share the same passion", answered Mr Goldberg. "Then we will have to prepare ourselves but for now I can prepare food for you and water to bathe while we wait to leave", said Sandra. They agreed, and Freddy's wife prepared food and water for them. They bathed and ate. They were given clothes to wear. And the moment they finished everything, it was already time for them to leave. Freddy could build planes so they used one of his planes and took off to the other kingdoms. Once the training was done, after mastering all their powers. The girls all fell down to the ground with their eyes closed. Matilda was now a fully fleshed human again nor was the spell broken. Mother Teresa worked them up with a loud bell sound. They all woke up with their ears ringing. The warriors were done parking what theirs, they were all done training now ready for war. The other man came back. "We're done mother, we're ready to go", he said, waiting for her to respond. "Okay then Mahmut but please prepare something for these kids to eat before we leave. We still have a few short hours left", replied mother Teresa. "Girls, you can follow me to the kitchen", said the man. The girls were all exhausted, still surprised they had this great power. They followed him hungrily. Mother Theresa remained back, packed her swords and her other things she would need for the long road such as food, water and clothes to change. She packed them in a small suitcase. The five warriors were also done preparing for the journey. Food was immediately prepared for the girls by the other warriors. The girls ate and were also given warm water to bathe and clothes. After eating they went to take a bath. The jets were all parked outside the gate ready to fly. Mother Teresa came rushing from the field. She was with the other warriors following her rushing as her. The girls were also done and ready to leave. She entered "Is everything packed in the jets, all weapons, machines and all the swords?", asked Mother. "Yes mam, we were just waiting for you and the girls to leave", answered Emir with his loud voice. "Okay then, girls you ride with me whereas the warriors and you, Emir and Mahmut, you will ride with Angela and the other warriors and Madeleine, you ride with me", said Mother Theresa walking out to the jets. The girls followed her holding their backpacks together with Madeleine and the warriors to ride on the other jets. Madeleine was that old woman who spoke to them at the gate. They rode in the first jet whereas the grumpy man, Emir rode with the others. The jets flew up and made their way to Atlanta. The planes had already passed the flat fields when the girls remembered they had to fetch the green sapphire. Matilda spoke "Mother we will have to get off here. We have to do something first, it's important", said Matilda, the others were quiet. "How important is it? It's not safe out here no matter how powerful you're. You will have to be with me until we get to Atlanta'', said Mother. "We have to fetch the green gemstone from this location. Aurora's mother took it there and gave it to Aurora (she shows her the belt around Aurora's arm) . That when a time like this came and they were attacked she should run to our parents and show them where it was", explained Elaine. "I can send the warriors to fetch it", said Mother, stopping them from leaving. "Leave the kids for heaven sake, they are well prepared. We will need the warriors back there. I trust these kids plus no one will suspect this coming", interfered Madeleine. "Okay then you can go but be careful", said Mother Teresa telling the warriors to stop the jet. The jet landed, the girls got off and up the jet went again. "Where are we supposed to go first?", asked Matilda. Aurora lifted her hand up and touched a button on the belt and it showed them the way. They ran like wind onto the flat fields and got to a large river. They stood there, there was no bridge. "Don't worry I will take care of it", said Alice raising her hands. She moved the water from the river and created a path just like her mother. The girls run through it. It was getting dark outside and scary. They continued walking and the next place was a place with thorns. There was no way to walk past those thorns. Aurora shoved them all back with the help of Matilda. They removed the thorns and sent them back to the ground. They passed in from there and the belt showed them the next direction. It was through a cave. It was too dark there and their phones were battery-less. Elaine's eyes lit up and lit the whole cave. They walked through it. It seemed scary but there was nothing in there. They were just spiderwebs and rats. It was an old cave. They passed it then onto the last path then to the mountains. They climbed the mountains whereas Elaine lighted the way with her eyes. It was a long road up there. They climbed up until they were at the top of the mountain. They got to a rock and the belt kept on shining in green. "Perhaps it is inside this rock, look there is a button here", said Aurora pressing it. The rock opened and there was the green gemstone, it shined so bright. They took it out and placed it inside Elaine's backpack. The mountain started falling down. They had no other way to go. Matilda wished for her fairy dragon. The others rode in it whereas her and Aurora flew next to them. It was fun flying in the sky with all the stars shining but they had to stop somewhere and find a place to sleep in. From up in the sky, they saw tents. It seemed like people were camping from there. They flew down to the ground and landed next to the tents. "Why is it so quiet?", asked Aurora, scared. "Shh, don't talk", said Elaine. Suzette searched the tents and there was no one. They checked around and called but no one answered. "I think they fled away. The tents are empty", shouted Matilda. They got inside one tent and slept in there. The twins ceremony went so well. They were smeared with the dark ashes. Though It ended late. Everything was then taken to the planes. The remaining girls and boys were chased out during the night, there was no longer a need for them anymore. All the army of witches sat outside whereas the bosses were inside. They were drinking wine and toasting to their future. The twins were asleep in a room next to theirs although they couldn't sleep. Their hands were itchy, they kept seeing the face of an old man. One twin woke up scratching her hands, the other one followed. Their eyes were purple. They walked straight to the operations room where Dragon Slair was. They lifted his blanket up and threw it to the floor. The doctors were asleep. They touched him from where he had been stabbed by Lucida. There was a certain connection between them and the king. Their power went through his chest and penetrated through him. The twins held tight to him. Their power moved through his whole body. His horns shined as their power got through to him. His nails grow both in his feets and hands. The whole room was filled with the light of the twins' power and strange voices were heard. That's when the doctors woke up and screamed. The king was too scary, whether dead and worse when he was alive. His flesh was joining itself and when he had turned to a skeleton, his flesh growed again. The twins' blood moved to his body. The doctors screamed so loud that the others heard. They got out and ran to the operating room. They opened the door. The doctors kept quiet and screamed from the inside. They entered, the Arolie sister led the way. The twins were growing horns similar to the ones of their king and their nails were getting longer and darker. They were so scary. Their hair styles changed to be similar to those of their parents. The wizard tried stopping the twins but the Arolie sisters stopped him with his wife. Dragon Slair moved his hands and the twins fell to the wall. ILiara ran and helped them up. Dragon Slair opened his eyes. Everyone was shocked even the elders themselves. He got up and sat up straight. He was more scarier than ever, his horns long and shiny, his teeth shaped like fangs and his eyes red. He was full of of anger and looked around. ILiara ran to him, letting go of the twins. The Arolie sisters stood around the bed whereas the twins moved a little bit to him, they were now scared of him. He touched their hands and spoke to them. "Is everything prepared? We have to move as soon as possible", asked Dragon Slair getting out from bed. "We have no time to wait, we will have to prepare for war, a real one this time. Some of us have decided to choose the wrong path and to betray the wrong man and Dragon Slair is an evil dangerous man who likes revenge", he said brushing his beard. "What do you mean others chose to betray us? Who betrayed us, king?", asked ILiara following him. Dragon Slair answered angrily turning to her "That damn sorcerer, Lucida, she's the one who killed me. She's chosen to side with the sorceress. she's the one who spied on us that day in the second war", said Dragon Slair wearing a jacket he found hanging on a couch. It belonged to the wizard. "I always knew she couldn't be trusted, you should have let me kill her by the time I had the chance with her parents but you decided to help her", spoke the eldest Arolie sister. "That not true, Lucida wouldn't do that. She's always been loyal to me, in fact to all of us. You can't speak ill of her like that", said ILiara defending her, she couldn't believe it. "Well she did, where is now? Why isn't she here now?", asked the eldest Arolie sister. "No wonder she disappeared after you were declared dead, she wasn't heard of again", said the wizard. "No, that's not true. Lucida wouldn't do that. She wouldn't betray us like that. She's coming, she's coming with the others. She got held up somewhere. Perhaps John and his mate have her", said ILiara, so stubborn to believe. "Actually she's not. She's with them willingly so, you better believe father when he says she's the one who killed him, killed us too and now she's coming to kill us all '', said Astraea entering by the door. Borra followed him behind. Their clothes were full of sand, they smelled like death itself, everyone could smell it. "And why the hell would she do that?", asked ILiara moving fastly to them. "Because she found out the truth that all of you here were responsible in killing her parents and you lied to her face all this time and turned her against her own people, you made her to kill and hate them, and it was only half the truth, isn't it?", said Borra sitting in bed. "She took so long then", replied the youngest Arolie sister. "ILiara sat from a chair. "Then where's the proof? She can't find out what I did not know now," asked ILiara. Dragon Slair stood in front of her and opened his hands. A vision played of Lucida stabbing him from his chest and running away after that. "You said you wanted proof then there you have it", said Borra shouting to her face. "She's even married Mark, your biggest enemy, the most powerful sorcerer", added Astraea, his heart broken. "You see now no John has kept her somewhere, no one can get that sorcerer. She's too powerful for all of them", said the middle Arolie sister to ILiara. "She can be powerful but why attack her when she has a child", said the Dragon Slair. He touched his horns and laughed. " Then if she did all of this, she would then die. She's already chosen her side", said ILiara standing up and standing by the window. "We do have a real battle ahead of us if she's one of them then she must be telling them all of our plans' ', said the wizard. "And we prepared for it then", said Borra.The king asked them all to sit down, they all did. The eldest Arolie sister didn't, she rather stood. "What I'm about to tell you may shock you but to cut the story short, ILiara is my daughter. The long lost daughter I always looked for and there she is. She's always been here and thanks to these boys. I found out the truth because of them. It is one of the reasons I killed Isaac. He was the one who was lying to me all these years. I was going to tell you but because I died I no longer did", said Dragon Slair. He stood up to hug her. ILiara surrendered to his hug. She always felt a strong connection with him. "My family is finally united, my cousins, my daughter, son in law, my sons and my granddaughters are also powerful too just like the rest of the family", said Dragon Slair. "Twins this is my father, your grandfather and this are your uncles, Borra and Astraea '', said ILiara wiping her tears. "ILiara shares a specific power. It would be able to defeat those imbeciles. Mr Goldberg and his team. The wolf power", said Dragon Slair. Borra took out the book and they walked outside. The witches stood in one line and kneeled before the king. The wolf was released from the cages and it moved to its owner. They gave ILiara the wolf soul to drink it and she did. The wolf disappeared to her body. Power was what ILiara wanted. She knew Lucida was coming to kill her and she had to prepare for it and was ready to finish that useless brat. She was now useless to her. "Lucidas' child has our ancestors. It would be fare to torture her", said ILiara. It all made sense now. Mrs Mackenzie was Lucida, Suzettes mother. She and Dragon Slair planned to torture Suzette as they seen her asleep from the mirror. The others went back inside and prepared for the war. Suzette was asleep when she had a crazy scary dream of an old man and woman torturing her and killing her mother. She screamed so loud from her sleep and couldn't breath, she was dying. The others heard her and woke up. They tried waking her up but she was losing her breath, her skin having scars.``It's them. They tryna kill her. Dragon Slair is awake'', said Matilda. She touched her heart to calm her down. Alice realized water from the ground to heal the wounds. Aurora made moon plants and opened her mouth for her to drink them. But it was not enough. Elaine's eyes changed dark red, she realized the Phoenix power over her, touching her in the chest where they were attacking her. Together with Matilda and the others freed her. She woke up screaming "Mother, we have to run out of here!", she said, sitting up straight and they had no choice but to run away. The dragon went back to its place. ILiara and Dragon Slair were shoved away by the Phoenix power. Dragon Slair burnt from the inside that he sat down on his knees. ILiara shot straight outside, her clothes burning. She had wounds from her body. The others came out and went to them.``I told you these kids are too strong, especially the one with the phoenix power", said mother Agatha. No answered her. They took them inside the garage and placed them in a bottle with the green gas plants to heal them. They took the bottles inside the airplanes and left. The twins were too revengeful, they were also that powerful to stop Elaine and the girls. Whereas the two awaken by the way. "I will get that Elaine, deal with the others ``, " said ILiara. She locked herself in a room. Everyone knew what she was doing. She would come out twenty times evil. "We will have to extract the power out of that child who poses a great threat to us and turn the Phoenixes against her '', said Dragon Slair. Back onto the fairy kingdom. Evelyn, Oscar and Jessica and the army awaken. "My brothers are back, we'll have to move. I can feel it and we're late", said Evelyn. They all woke up. "We will have to move fast then", replied Oscar, picking his sword. They fought the fairy creatures like crazy. They were unstoppable, undefeatable no matter how hard the fairy creatures fought them. They became stronger and were the only ones standing. They finished them within an hour. They then left the place damaged, everything down in ashes and flew up to the sky, all the way to Atlanta. The girls finally stopped somewhere in a hidden cave filled with thorns. They got inside and watched in the distance. "What really happened? Why are we running away?", asked Aurora, confused as well as the others clueless. "Shh, don't talk, you will see", answered Suzette. Evelyn and the others flew in their direction. They were destroying everything on the ground, everything in front of them and everything would be in ashes. Wherever they passed everything turned dull. They saw the tents. They flew down to them. They searched the whole place. "I can smell those brats, they are somewhere near", said Evelyn sniffing around. "We can't find them anywhere, they must have run away", said one witch from the army. "They obviously slept here, they are not that far. We shall find them", said Oscar flying up. His army follows him with Jessica. Evelyn remained behind and checked again. She burnt the tents and then flew up. Everything behind her lost life and color. They looked around from up in the sky searching for them, burning everything until they disappeared from the clouds. The girls got out of the cave.
