author says)
Secret Past
Chapter One-Legends Live
A young soldier grasps her chest in pain as she stands to face her
enemy on the blood stained earth. Her enemy grins with malice. "Give up
Queen Crystallia. You cannot defeat me. You cannot even fight for your
friends, for your love, not even for your daughter. You haven't run
away, but you aren't half the soldier that I am." His words are daggers
of ice into Crystallia.
"I am, Queen Crystallia -goddess of the moon. I will never give up."
Crystallia replied weakly, a blue flame grew stronger in her eyes. This
war was never thought possible after the Soul Wars. But it was here,
and she hadn't stopped it in time to save anyone.
"Have it your way. I was just trying to save you from death. You are
really a magnificent creature. Hmmm, I feel generous today… would you
become my queen to save your life?" He notices her blue eyes turn to
ice. She glares at him with all the hate and anger that she has ever
felt in her life. With that a silver blast of energy came from her
hands. Slamming her enemy into the crystal walls around them, the
crystal palace, now sharp from the war.
"Let's not go in there! It's too creepy."
"Come on Ella, you don't believe those legends do you."
"Leave her alone Sky. You know she does, she from the Clan of Mercury.
She was taught these stories and to believe them. It's apart of their
magic training."
"And your gonna tell me that you believe them too, Vena?" Sky said
cruelly.
"I don't believe them, that's not my culture. I think that you should
start acting like yours. Going into that forest is suicide. I can feel
it. I'm not Ella, but I know that much," Vena coolly replied.
"I still think this is a stupid idea for Clan Guardians-in-training to
be doing. This forest is sacred. At least let Ella and me check the
area out." A new voice spoke.
"What's the point, all you girls are too cautious. Especially you,
Essence, and anyway what kinda name is that?"
"My name by the way is more important than your name, I am named after
the Founder of the Mars Clan who was a princess. And you aren't named
after anyone." She shot coldly.
"My name is still better than yours! Not to mention she's dead, and we
don't have princesses anymore." Both were about to attack each other.
"Did you honestly believe that I fear death enough to ever be your
lover Talleron. Plus, you are way too young for me." Crystallia grinned
as his facial expression dropped to a frown, then she laughed. An odd
cackle almost evil, she was light and darkness at the same moment. Her
eyes played an insane flame that laughed at Talleron. So many times had
he tried to seduce her, she never gave in, she knew that soon it would
lead to her death. But the fire of insanity played in her eyes forever
from that moment. The last moment of life was the only moment the fire
stopped.
At last Talleron could no longer take her laughter. He had tried so
hard for her to become his, but the war was not for her, but for the
world. He and his minions wanted power, she could give it to him, only
she could. And she wouldn't, for the sake of earth. So at last,
bleeding, he took every last bit of energy to make a black and red
dragon. The power force hit Crystallia squarely in the chest, heaving
her into the sharp edges of her palace. She slid down slowly. She was
not oblivious to the pain, only emotion. She saw him standing his
laughter filled the sky with a chill, he would have her. She was too
weak to win a battle now, or so he thought. Blood oozing from her chest
and back she stood in a pool of her blood. For once feeling everything
and nothing at the same time. She looked at the ground, her eyes still
playful with insanity, but also blank in a mysterious way. Lying next
to her on the ground was Belle's sword. She grabbed it.
A wide motion made by Vena stopped them. She had brought out a sacred
sword only touched by her clan. To bring it out was to stop something
extremely horrible. When Vena brought her sword out, she meant
business. They all were of distinguished clans, Mercury, Mars, Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, and then the Moon Clan. To be
a Clan Guardian was the highest honor. The old ways of the Lunar Reign
were gone now but some names remained. If you said the name Queen
Crystallia the First you were considered crazy. She had been dead for
2,000 years.
"Look, if I catch you fighting again I'll report you, especially you
Skyllan. You are of the Outer Clan of Uranus. What came over them to
possibly make you a chosen one is still beyond me. But as the leader of
the Future Inner Clan Guardians you'd best behave, after all, you are
supposed to train instead of flirt all day." She didn't smile once but
the others did especially when he blushed. "The Clan of Earth would be
disappointed."
Crystallia held the sword tightly in her slender hands. She brought the
sword in front of her face the one side of the blade facing her, the
other facing Talleron. Crystallia closed her eyes and whispered a few
words, never heard since the death of the ancient Lunar Reign. The
sword began to glow, unconsciously as though she had done this many
times before; she placed the sword in front of her and charged at
Talleron. He noticed the glowing between the queen and the sword she
held. Looking up at the sky the moon shown bright with the energy of a
soldier burning away the evil, the moon was Crystallia, together they
stood strong; united. Just as she was to take his life in on quick
swipe, he bore a beam sword in which smacked against her metal one.
Strangely the beam sword did not melt the Guardian Sword but both
fighters held their ground while in a face to face lock. This was not a
good position to be in if you were the weaker; your sword could go
flying leaving you defenseless. But they stood there, every second
growing weaker, yet becoming stronger, until Queen Crystallia closed
her eyes silver, gold, green, blue, red, yellow, orange, purple,
turquoise, and black light pulsed around her melting into the sword.
There it swirled around like a twister ready to strike anything down.
"Well, I'm going in there whether your coming or not, 'cause all of you
are chicken, and weaklings," Sky knew the last part would get to Lea of
the Jupiter Clan. Her eyes challenged him silently.
You want a fight, well, bring it on. Lea thought. "I shall go with
you, but only to prove that our clans are not as you think. But I
request that you, Lady Frostella of the Mercury Clan, will accompany us
with your vast knowledge, your fighting magic, and telling magic." Lea
spoke very formally; she treated this as a quest. She did this as a
personal challenge to Sky. He was supposed to learn things of
formality, but had spent too much time flirting with girls to ever
learn anything. "Do you grant my request Lady Frostella?"
"I grant your request. My clan shall be honored that you have
asked such a thing. But in do course I believe it is only fair that we
bring Lady Essence of the Mars Clan and Lady Aphrodite of the Venus
Clan with us on this journey. No matter how ignorant the cause." Ella
had understood what Lea had been trying to do, as did the others. Sky
only stood there turning a hot red in anger. Vena hated the use of her
real name but this was the formality. She put her sword in its sheath.
Then she and
Essence did a bow of acceptance. And so the five went walking on,
Vena's hand was ready to pull her sword out at any second. Screaming
rose from the forest as the pathway turned dark.
The colors of the galaxy burned with hatred around the queen. She
opened her eyes. This has been dragged out too long. As she thought
this she grasped the sword harder, then with the strength of the galaxy
she pushed Talleron back his sword destroyed by her power. She smiled
as she launched forward into a jump attack killing him, but not before
he reflected her power back at her again slamming her into the palace
walls. This time she could no longer hold back her screams of pain.
Each second she slid down the crystal the air was filled with her
agony. The moon grew dim as the insanity in her eyes faded to a dull
blue crystal. She finally reached the ground lying in a limp heap. The
world held its breath for a second that seemed forever. Pegasus flew
across the sky screeching its grief. Then she opened her eyes and
spread her wings. Pure white wings unstained by blood, by tragedy. If
only she had stayed unstained, but here she was left to die in a pool
of her blood that grew each second…
A second revealed Vena's sword, and Sky's. Essence had her bow ready to
fire. Lightning pulsed in the hands of Lea. Ella's hands grew colder
with each second. She closed her eyes summoning a secret magic. She
touched a dark tree next to her. Help her, help the healer, the star
and moon, save our queen. Save her, someone help! Our queen is dying!
Anni pulled away confused, but returned to her mind where the tree's
screamed sorrows and cries for help. Where do I go to find her? How can
I help? Ella asked the trees in her mind. No reply came. Ella focused
harder. Then finally it came. Follow the silver, the palace of crystal
is where she lies waiting please hurry, the moon will guide you. But
it is still in the hour of the sun. How is the moon to guide me? It
will find you through us.
Another voice spoke in Ella's mind. It was the sun; his words
warmed her heart with a warning. Leave this place, the queen lies at
the castle as the trees have said, but you must not go there, it is
sacred. Danger lies ahead the forest was darkened by a tragedy that has
stained the Earth. Do not go any farther, for her sake. For who,
sun?For the mist child, she will be given a gift that will be to
strong for her to bear. Who is the mist child? She is of the youngest
clan. You call her "girl of the water."
Slowly Crystallia sat up. "Shimmer of life reveal yourself before me."
The outline of a crystal shone lightly then a star formed in the middle
and a beam shot down from the moon. The crystal became solid from the
light of both from the inside out. Crystallia looked down at herself,
her mangled body stained with blood. She shed a single tear. The tear
just shed mixed into the blood surrounding her. She shook her head. I
have no right in this world to cry. I have grief but I know that I am
lucky that my friends and family do not have to see the earth this way.
To cry would only grieve the earth more. I must stay strong through
these last moments. I hate to do this. She grasped her locket. She tore
it from her thin silver chain. Her tunic turned into silver ribbons
that surrounded Queen Crystallia; they floated in the invisible breeze.
Slowly the moon grew stronger and so did the moon sigil behind the star
sigil each symbolizing the queen, she was the moon and she was the soul
of the universe. Both sigils glowed, neither over powering the other in
the dark night…
Anni removed herself from her mind state. She ignored the sun. She lead
the others to the Crystal Palace just as the trees had told her. "So
the legends are true. I'd always thought they were told to little
children as fairy tales." The palace untouched by time shocked Alan.
Now Vena walked ahead suddenly tears forming in her eyes. She knelt
down her sword glowed with oddity. It glowed with silver, gold, green,
blue, red, yellow, orange, purple, turquoise, and black light, the
colors of the galaxy started to swirl around the palace starting from
the sword. Dry blood appeared on the sword as the colors continued to
flow. Anni saw this. Her eyes widened in horror. What have I done? Will
we die because of me? Alan cut off her thoughts. "Vena your sword!"
Vena looked at her sword. Then all reality was lost to Anni. Now her
mind was set to the past. Telling a tragic secret.
The silver ribbons became the queen's gown. Her crystal still in front
of her she took off her crown. Both crystal and crown hovered in front
of her with a sparkle of life. "Power of the Moon, power of the Stars,
power of the Crystal, power of the Earth, power of the Universe, power
of the Queen, power of Life, I am all of you. You have been separated
within me, never allowing me to reach my full power capacity, now I put
you together again, so that we shall be united once again. For I shall
live on through you to protect this lonely star, I will exist through
you. You are my life and I am yours. Together we have protected the
Universe now my body shall rest. Should my dear child have lived
through this may she find you and may my power flow into her so that
she might fulfill her destiny. Moon and Cosmos melt into Life and
Crown…for the Future!" Her ceremony ended. The star seed, the Cosmos
Crystal and the Silver Imperium Crystal had become one and turned into
a crystal flower. After Queen Crystallia had spoken the crystals became
apart of her crown. Now holding her crown, Crystallia carefully
crystallized the crown. With one hand Serenity melted part of the
palace wall. Then with the all the fire she could make with what power
she had left after the Ceremony of Uniting, she heated both
crystallized crown and crystal wall to become one. "Farewell beautiful
Earth. Shall you forget this bitter war." Queen Crystallia held a white
rose as she died slowly lying on the soft grass, her tears streaming
from her eyes. Serenity was too graceful to be dying. She stared into
the nothing of mists. Why is she staring at me? Who is this beautiful
girl? Ella's thoughts had not gone unheard, but Ella would never hear
the answer the queen gave her. Ella had seen the battle and this queen
dying. Why do I ache when I see her staring at me with such love? Who
is she to me? She hadn't heard any sound but she had seen this sad
story. Then mist surrounded her and she lost concentration.
"Ella! Are you okay?" Lea asked.
"Yeah, what happened?" Ella replied in a daze.
"You fainted. Look you led us here. It's so beautiful. I wonder what
caused this crystal to rise from the ground like this? Oh well."
Now Vena walked ahead suddenly tears forming in her eyes. She knelt
down her sword glowed with oddity. It glowed with silver, gold, green,
blue, red, yellow, orange, purple, turquoise, and black light, the
colors of the galaxy started to swirl around the palace starting from
the sword. Dry blood appeared on the sword as the colors continued to
flow. "Vena your sword!" Vena looked at her sword not surprised to see
the blood and the colors of the galaxy. Her short dirty blonde hair
suddenly became long and golden. The others changed too. Skyllan
vanished and in his place was a tall woman in with short white hair.
All of them were dressed in tunics each wore a different color, torn
shirts, boots, gauntlets, and breeches. Vena was crying in front of a
lady with silver hair, long hair. It was Queen Crystallia, lying there
dead in Vena's arms. Now there were nine total "Warrior Princesses"
there were six men, and then a girl who looked like the queen except
her hair was jet black.
"Mother!! How could this have happened?" The girl with black hair ran
over to Vena, crying onto the queen. A man with light hair came over to
her. "Helios, why her? She-she-she said th-that…oh Helios!" The man
named Helios held her tightly.
"It's okay honey…everything will be alright." Helios looked straight in
to the blue eyes of another man, he was crying. He had taken Crystallia
in his arms. Oh, Endymion why has this happened? I'm so sorry. The
Earth cries out with your pain.
"You were always beautiful, and you still are my love. Please. Please!
Come back to me. Crystallia, my queen, why did you leave us…why did you
leave me?" Andarian whispered. His eyes were deep with grief and love
for the dead queen.
"King Andarian…I'm sorry. We all mourn the loss. Let us go to
Ixchel. Maybe… oh what am I thinking?" she broke down grasping a staff.
"Pluto's right. Let us leave. Ladies we had all been dead until a few
moments ago," the king got glares from five men, "Ladies, Generals, and
Helios, we were dead until a few moments ago. Something must have
caused us to be revived."
"Talleron is dead." Long blue hair gently swishing around as if
underwater.
"Princess Mercury? The war is over? But how?" Everyone glanced at the
dead queen in Endymion's arms. A smile played across her serene face.
That will be my secret. The queen's eyes opened and glared at Ella.
Who are they Crystallia? Who are these people.
They are your ancestors, the girl with blue hair and the man behind
her are the great ancestors of the Mercury Clan. My daughter has the
black hair. My husband is holding me. Look at the symbols child, do you
not recognize them? The queen spoke softly.
Why can't they hear you?
I'm dead.
Why am I seeing this?
You were the only Clan Guardian who would believe this legend.
I'm not a Clan Guardian yet. Why didn't your daughter get your crown?
She was sorrowful, she didn't want to become Queen Crystallia II in my
stead. She wanted me to live to see her daughter grow. She had been
waiting for the Second Generation Senshi to be born and reborn before
the First Generation Planet Sorceresses died. I'm a First Generation
Planet Sorceress. Why ask so many questions?
Well, if you don't want me to ask why did you show this to me?
I wanted to show this to the mist child. You should listen to the sun.
Luckily nothing happened to your friends. They're waiting for you.
Bring Lady Aquaria of the Mist Clan and Lord Skyllan of the Uranus
Clan. Go.
"That was weird."
"What was Ella?" Skyllan looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"Oh nothing. But I need to see Sere." Ella tried to sound like nothing
had happened.
"We all need to. Remember it's her birthday. Are you okay Ella?" Lea
asked. Vena got up, taking her Sword of Guardians with her.
"Whatever this place is, I get this urge to cry my eyes out. I'm
leaving. This seems more sacred than we thought. It's like a good
friend died…" Vena seemed lost in dream, blue eyes foggy.
"Look Sere's gonna kill us. I say we teleport." Essence said looking at
the sky. Everyone nodded except Ella. "Ella? Yes or No?"
"What…oh yes."

"Have it your way. I was just trying to save you from death. You are

from that moment. The last moment of life was the only moment the fire

At last Talleron could no longer take her laughter. He had tried so

world. He and his minions wanted power, she could give it to him, only
she could. And she wouldn't, for the sake of earth. So at last,

A wide motion made by Vena stopped them. She had brought out a sacred

Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, and then the Moon Clan. To be
a Clan Guardian was the highest honor. The old ways of the Lunar Reign
were gone now but some names remained. If you said the name Queen
Crystallia the First you were considered crazy. She had been dead for
2,000 years.
"Look, if I catch you fighting again I'll report you, especially you

possibly make you a chosen one is still beyond me. But as the leader of
the Future Inner Clan Guardians you'd best behave, after all, you are

Crystallia held the sword tightly in her slender hands. She brought the

There it swirled around like a twister ready to strike anything down.
"Well, I'm going in there whether your coming or not, 'cause all of you

the Jupiter Clan. Her eyes challenged him silently.
You want a fight, well, bring it on. Lea thought. "I shall go with

only stood there turning a hot red in anger. Vena hated the use of her

Then she and
Essence did a bow of acceptance. And so the five went walking on,
Vena's hand was ready to pull her sword out at any second. Screaming

The colors of the galaxy burned with hatred around the queen. She

world held its breath for a second that seemed forever. Pegasus flew
across the sky screeching its grief. Then she opened her eyes and
spread her wings. Pure white wings unstained by blood, by tragedy. If
only she had stayed unstained, but here she was left to die in a pool
of her blood that grew each second…
A second revealed Vena's sword, and Sky's. Essence had her bow ready to
fire. Lightning pulsed in the hands of Lea. Ella's hands grew colder
with each second. She closed her eyes summoning a secret magic. She
touched a dark tree next to her. Help her, help the healer, the star
and moon, save our queen. Save her, someone help! Our queen is dying!
Anni pulled away confused, but returned to her mind where the tree's
screamed sorrows and cries for help. Where do I go to find her? How can
I help? Ella asked the trees in her mind. No reply came. Ella focused
harder. Then finally it came. Follow the silver, the palace of crystal
is where she lies waiting please hurry, the moon will guide you. But
it is still in the hour of the sun. How is the moon to guide me? It
will find you through us.
Another voice spoke in Ella's mind. It was the sun; his words
warmed her heart with a warning. Leave this place, the queen lies at
the castle as the trees have said, but you must not go there, it is
sacred. Danger lies ahead the forest was darkened by a tragedy that has
stained the Earth. Do not go any farther, for her sake. For who,
sun?For the mist child, she will be given a gift that will be to
strong for her to bear. Who is the mist child? She is of the youngest
clan. You call her "girl of the water."
Slowly Crystallia sat up. "Shimmer of life reveal yourself before me."
The outline of a crystal shone lightly then a star formed in the middle
and a beam shot down from the moon. The crystal became solid from the
light of both from the inside out. Crystallia looked down at herself,
her mangled body stained with blood. She shed a single tear. The tear
just shed mixed into the blood surrounding her. She shook her head. I
have no right in this world to cry. I have grief but I know that I am
lucky that my friends and family do not have to see the earth this way.
To cry would only grieve the earth more. I must stay strong through
these last moments. I hate to do this. She grasped her locket. She tore
it from her thin silver chain. Her tunic turned into silver ribbons
that surrounded Queen Crystallia; they floated in the invisible breeze.
Slowly the moon grew stronger and so did the moon sigil behind the star
sigil each symbolizing the queen, she was the moon and she was the soul
of the universe. Both sigils glowed, neither over powering the other in
the dark night…
Anni removed herself from her mind state. She ignored the sun. She lead
the others to the Crystal Palace just as the trees had told her. "So
the legends are true. I'd always thought they were told to little
children as fairy tales." The palace untouched by time shocked Alan.
Now Vena walked ahead suddenly tears forming in her eyes. She knelt
down her sword glowed with oddity. It glowed with silver, gold, green,
blue, red, yellow, orange, purple, turquoise, and black light, the
colors of the galaxy started to swirl around the palace starting from
the sword. Dry blood appeared on the sword as the colors continued to
flow. Anni saw this. Her eyes widened in horror. What have I done? Will
we die because of me? Alan cut off her thoughts. "Vena your sword!"
Vena looked at her sword. Then all reality was lost to Anni. Now her
mind was set to the past. Telling a tragic secret.
The silver ribbons became the queen's gown. Her crystal still in front
of her she took off her crown. Both crystal and crown hovered in front
of her with a sparkle of life. "Power of the Moon, power of the Stars,
power of the Crystal, power of the Earth, power of the Universe, power
of the Queen, power of Life, I am all of you. You have been separated
within me, never allowing me to reach my full power capacity, now I put
you together again, so that we shall be united once again. For I shall
live on through you to protect this lonely star, I will exist through
you. You are my life and I am yours. Together we have protected the
Universe now my body shall rest. Should my dear child have lived
through this may she find you and may my power flow into her so that
she might fulfill her destiny. Moon and Cosmos melt into Life and
Crown…for the Future!" Her ceremony ended. The star seed, the Cosmos
Crystal and the Silver Imperium Crystal had become one and turned into
a crystal flower. After Queen Crystallia had spoken the crystals became
apart of her crown. Now holding her crown, Crystallia carefully
crystallized the crown. With one hand Serenity melted part of the
palace wall. Then with the all the fire she could make with what power
she had left after the Ceremony of Uniting, she heated both
crystallized crown and crystal wall to become one. "Farewell beautiful
Earth. Shall you forget this bitter war." Queen Crystallia held a white
rose as she died slowly lying on the soft grass, her tears streaming
from her eyes. Serenity was too graceful to be dying. She stared into
the nothing of mists. Why is she staring at me? Who is this beautiful
girl? Ella's thoughts had not gone unheard, but Ella would never hear
the answer the queen gave her. Ella had seen the battle and this queen
dying. Why do I ache when I see her staring at me with such love? Who
is she to me? She hadn't heard any sound but she had seen this sad
story. Then mist surrounded her and she lost concentration.
"Ella! Are you okay?" Lea asked.
"Yeah, what happened?" Ella replied in a daze.
"You fainted. Look you led us here. It's so beautiful. I wonder what
caused this crystal to rise from the ground like this? Oh well."
Now Vena walked ahead suddenly tears forming in her eyes. She knelt
down her sword glowed with oddity. It glowed with silver, gold, green,
blue, red, yellow, orange, purple, turquoise, and black light, the
colors of the galaxy started to swirl around the palace starting from
the sword. Dry blood appeared on the sword as the colors continued to
flow. "Vena your sword!" Vena looked at her sword not surprised to see
the blood and the colors of the galaxy. Her short dirty blonde hair
suddenly became long and golden. The others changed too. Skyllan
vanished and in his place was a tall woman in with short white hair.
All of them were dressed in tunics each wore a different color, torn
shirts, boots, gauntlets, and breeches. Vena was crying in front of a
lady with silver hair, long hair. It was Queen Crystallia, lying there
dead in Vena's arms. Now there were nine total "Warrior Princesses"
there were six men, and then a girl who looked like the queen except
her hair was jet black.
"Mother!! How could this have happened?" The girl with black hair ran
over to Vena, crying onto the queen. A man with light hair came over to
her. "Helios, why her? She-she-she said th-that…oh Helios!" The man
named Helios held her tightly.
"It's okay honey…everything will be alright." Helios looked straight in
to the blue eyes of another man, he was crying. He had taken Crystallia
in his arms. Oh, Endymion why has this happened? I'm so sorry. The
Earth cries out with your pain.
"You were always beautiful, and you still are my love. Please. Please!
Come back to me. Crystallia, my queen, why did you leave us…why did you
leave me?" Andarian whispered. His eyes were deep with grief and love
for the dead queen.
"King Andarian…I'm sorry. We all mourn the loss. Let us go to
Ixchel. Maybe… oh what am I thinking?" she broke down grasping a staff.
"Pluto's right. Let us leave. Ladies we had all been dead until a few
moments ago," the king got glares from five men, "Ladies, Generals, and
Helios, we were dead until a few moments ago. Something must have
caused us to be revived."
"Talleron is dead." Long blue hair gently swishing around as if
underwater.
"Princess Mercury? The war is over? But how?" Everyone glanced at the
dead queen in Endymion's arms. A smile played across her serene face.
That will be my secret. The queen's eyes opened and glared at Ella.
Who are they Crystallia? Who are these people.
They are your ancestors, the girl with blue hair and the man behind
her are the great ancestors of the Mercury Clan. My daughter has the
black hair. My husband is holding me. Look at the symbols child, do you
not recognize them? The queen spoke softly.
Why can't they hear you?
I'm dead.
Why am I seeing this?
You were the only Clan Guardian who would believe this legend.
I'm not a Clan Guardian yet. Why didn't your daughter get your crown?
She was sorrowful, she didn't want to become Queen Crystallia II in my
stead. She wanted me to live to see her daughter grow. She had been
waiting for the Second Generation Senshi to be born and reborn before
the First Generation Planet Sorceresses died. I'm a First Generation
Planet Sorceress. Why ask so many questions?
Well, if you don't want me to ask why did you show this to me?
I wanted to show this to the mist child. You should listen to the sun.
Luckily nothing happened to your friends. They're waiting for you.
Bring Lady Aquaria of the Mist Clan and Lord Skyllan of the Uranus
Clan. Go.
"That was weird."
"What was Ella?" Skyllan looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"Oh nothing. But I need to see Sere." Ella tried to sound like nothing
had happened.
"We all need to. Remember it's her birthday. Are you okay Ella?" Lea
asked. Vena got up, taking her Sword of Guardians with her.
"Whatever this place is, I get this urge to cry my eyes out. I'm
leaving. This seems more sacred than we thought. It's like a good
friend died…" Vena seemed lost in dream, blue eyes foggy.
"Look Sere's gonna kill us. I say we teleport." Essence said looking at
the sky. Everyone nodded except Ella. "Ella? Yes or No?"
"What…oh yes."
