Hay Lin moved around her room quickly, Will's dormouse at her heels. Will's mom had taken Will on vacation and Hay Lin had offered to watch the little guy while she was away. Hay Lin sat down on her bed bored of cleaning. She hummed her favorite song absentmindedly. She stroked the dormouse's head as it snuggled up next to her. Hay Lin was deep in thought. Today was the worst day for a portal opening. Will was on vacation, Irma was grounded, Cornelia was also on vacation, and Taranee was on a date with Nigel. She was the only guardian who wasn't busy or grounded and she learned from Will and Cornelia that entering Metamoor on your own was a bad idea. The dormouse climbed up to it's favorite spot and took it's rightful place on Hay Lin's shoulder. Hay Lin laughed as it began pawing at the silver chain around her neck. Hay Lin ran her finger down the chain stopping when she reached the charm. She carefully examined the greenish orb surrounded by it's silver holder. It resembled the Heart of Candracar so much. Hay Lin had found it when she was sitting in her grandmother's room. It was called the Heart of Chaos or at least that's what her grandmother had called it. Hay Lin wiped a tear from her eyes, she still missed her grandmother very much. She was pulled out of her thoughts by a sudden and surprised squeak from the dormouse. Hay Lin blinked in surprise looking around her room. Her map was surrounded by a magical fire, that could only mean one thing, a portal had been opened. Hay Lin grabbed the map and shoved it in her pocket. She knew that without Will she couldn't close the portal but she had to at least check it out. She raced downstairs into her family's restaurant, The Silver Dragon. "Hi mom and dad! Bye mom and dad!" she called racing outside. She mounted her bike throwing her helmet on. She began peddling like crazy toward the Shell Cave where a portal had been before. The new portal was near there so she figured it would be the best place to think about her situation. She stopped laying her bike inside the cave. She sat down and examined the map carefully something was weird. According to her map it said that the Shell Cave portal had reopened. "That can't be right," Hay Lin muttered to herself. The dormouse crawled over to her. She groaned it had come with her!? There was still one possibility if the portal had reopened. But that meant...
"That's right little Hay Lin. You have fallen right into my trap. Don't try anything you'll just make things worse for yourself." Hay Lin froze her body refused to respond. It had been completely shut down by the icy voice of the man standing behind her. Hay Lin stared at her feet. This tiny mistake had been a fatal one. She rose slowly keeping her eyes to the floor not daring to look anywhere else. She gathered her energy trying to stay as still as possible. She whipped around striking the man with all her might. He caught her with ease. She gasped unaware that he was so powerful. She closed her eyes forcing herself into Guardian form. The man laughed throwing her to the ground. Hay Lin heard a loud crack as her skull connected with the pavement. Stars whirled before her eyes she knew she was no match for him.
"Cedric, how did you become so powerful?" she choked out. The man laughed he had long blonde hair pulled behind him his eyes were cold and unfeeling though he didn't appear to be much older then Hay Lin, he was actually eons old. The dormouse squeaked in sheer panic and raced off into the darkness. Hay Lin had tears of pain and hopelessness as she saw her last line of hope vanish into the shadows.
"Don't be foolish child. I've been toying with you this entire time. I'm much stronger than you first thought." Cedric announced the pride clear in his voice. Hay Lin took in a sharp breath as he pulled her to her feet. He tied her hands tightly behind her back she struggled though she knew escape wasn't likely. Cedric pushed her into Metamoor leading her right to Phobos's throne room. She stumbled it was hard walking through the dark halls when she was too dizzy to even see straight. She caught a glimpse of the beautiful jewel encrusted doors that led right to her doom. Cedric flung them open pushing Hay Lin into the room. She fell on her face closing her eyes to try to stop the room from spinning. She heard footsteps drawing nearer to her.
"That's right child. Bow to your king." the man laughed. Phobos's voice was clean and smooth. It almost sounded kind, but Hay Lin knew better then to trust that deceitful wannabe. Hay Lin's head shot up anger clouding her normally cheerful face. Cedric didn't know her well enough to see the undying fire flaming inside her eyes.
"I'll NEVER bow to you Phobos." Hay Lin yelled "I'D SOONER DIE!" her words echoed off the walls leaving the room's occupants stunned. None of them noticed that the Heart of Chaos on Hay Lin's neck was pulsing with an eerie green glow. Hay Lin stood up again gaining courage from her sudden outburst even though most of her senses were still fuzzy.
"Then you shall perish." Phobos said trying his best to pretend nothing had happened. Hay Lin backed away from him his eyes were dangerous and deadly. She could feel his anger feeding his powers making him stronger. She saw in his expression that this was no joke or just a rant to make himself sound tough. He was going to kill her.
"PHOBOS!" an angry cry came to Hay Lin's rescue. The doors flew open and a VERY angry looking Elyon stormed in her sand colored braids flying behind her. Her steely blue eyes were narrowed and only focused on Phobos taking no notice of anyone else in the room. Hay Lin looked at Elyon's feet where, she was pleased to see, the dormouse was walking. "What do you think your doing?!" Elyon screamed. Phobos opened his mouth ready to answer but Elyon wasn't going to allow him. "Shut it! All that will come out of your mouth will be lies and I'm sick of hearing them!" Elyon snapped. Hay Lin found herself positioned directly between the two bickering siblings. Elyon raised her hands filling them with the magic of life she was preparing to take her brother down once and for all. Bur Phobos saw his sisters actions and prepared to counter using the dark magic of death. Both only had eyes for the other as the sent their blasts straight toward one another. Neither noticed their mistake until it was too late.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Hay Lin let out a scream of agony as both blasts hit her at the EXACT same moment. Pain flowed through her body becoming her only sense. She couldn't move, she couldn't breath, feel, or even see. She only saw the black of Phobos's magic to her left and the silver of Elyon's to her right and in the middle was a strange green glow. Then everything went black, her body went numb, and her life had changed forever.
