Nyx closed her eyes and imagined a beautiful grove full with trees and flowers and a breathtaking blue sky.

She imagined the soft caressing of the wind.

She imagined the fresh scent of salty water nearby.

Nyx imagined the blazing yellow and white sun hanging over her imaginative grove.

She imagined the soft green grass that would soon surround her.

And finally she imagined the soft and faint whispers of the elements spirits.

Nyx finally opened her eyes and smiled.

She saw in front of her exactly what she had imagined.

A perfect meadow with vibrant trees at the edges, a small lake in the middle with water sprites dancing and flying around. In fact there were element sprites everywhere, attracted by the old magic that existed in this place.

A small wind gushed around the magical place and playfully rustled her hair.

Nyx sighed and turned around. She had a purpose with this meadow and appreciating its beauty could wait for another time.

She knew in her heart that Zoey – the girl she'd chosen as her fighter against Darkness– would pass this test. The test wasn't to prove something to Nyx but to Zoey.

Zoey needed to know that she was the right person; she had all the qualities that were needed.

Authentic for Air

Faithful for Water

Brave for Fire

Empathetic for Earth

Sincere for Spirit

One test for each element.

She was the right person. Zoey only needed to choose the path that was carved out for her.

Nyx closed her eyes once more, concentrated and summoned her daughter.

That's the reason she didn't notice the flash of dark slithering tendrils finding their

way into her meadow and carefully settling there.
