"Cari!" I yelled as my friend soaked me in water after our 'battle stimulator'.

"What?" she asked, looking at me innocently. The nerve of her. "I just thought you needed to cool off."

I simply glared at her as Kenna came in. "Tara! Cari! Stop fighting! The oracle says he needs to talk to us."

"About what?" I asked. "Yea, we haven't done any remotely good pranks in awhile." Cari said going out of her Guardian state. (a/n think of w.i.t.c.h. where they have wings and can transform back into 'human appearance')

"I don't know" Kenna replied, "he didn't tell me anything just to come get you."

"Are Aira and Nova there already?" I asked as we walked down the large hallway in

Candracar.

"They should be there by the time we get there." Kenna said. She stopped suddenly and put her hand to her head. "Actually, scratch that. Their already there."

"I hope this isn't about those crazy fiendersnaps on Sambala," I said. "I don't think it is," Cari said. "I'm pretty sure we got rid of them all."

"No, we didn't. I could feel a group of about 5 or 7 running away while we weren't looking" I replied. "Aww man!" Cari groaned. "Now we're going to have to go back, and you know those tree people only like you, Tara."

I smirked. "I can't help it if I'm the Earth guardian, now can I?"

She responded by squirting more water at me from her fingers. "Cari! Now I'm even wetter! I don't know how you stand this."

Now it was her turn to smirk at me. "It's an acquired taste."

"Whatever," I said as we approached the main hall.

"Ahh your finally here!" Nova said jumping up from her seat and smiling at us. The she looked at me. "Tara, why are you all wet?"

"Do you even have to ask?" I questioned glaring at Cari. "Hey! "She defended, "you looked hot." I raised my eyebrows at her. "Oh really? "I asked. "I don't think your my type."

"Whatever you say," she said smirking at me. I huffed and turned to Aira. "A little help, please?" She smiled at me and blew. I was almost instantly dry.

"Much better!" I said, smiling. "Your welcome," Aira said to me. I grinned at her.

"If all of you are ready now, may we begin?" The Oracle asked. All of us instantly sobered up. "What is it you wanted to talk to us about?" Kenna questioned.

"There have been disturbances on Earth. Tara, I believe you've been feeling them. Especially since you, yourself are the heart of Earth."

"Yes, I have been feeling strange things lately. It's like a twisting in my gut, I feel like something bad will happen soon." I replied to him.

"Why didn't you tell us anything!" Cari demanded. "I don't know, I thought it was something else. It almost felt like I was getting sick," I told her. "We can't get sick anymore, Tara, you know that." Nova said quietly. "I know," I replied, "it just felt like when we used to live on Earth.

"That proves my theory even more, though I am not happy to say it." The oracle said. "You all know if the wizards and witches that live there. There is a very powerful dark lord rising there and I fear he may have help from Phobos, I have seen it."

"WHAT?" We all yelled in sync. "Thats not possible," Kenna said, "the guardians before us destroyed him."

"They did not destroy him fully." The oracle calmly told us. "Though he was beaten so badly he could barely form a conscious thought. But, he is gaining power, I can feel it.

"But what does this have to do with the wizards and witches?" Aira asked. "They can barely defeat this new dark wizard, if he and Phobos were to work together a catastrophe could happen. They need our help. They need your help." The oracle explained to us.

I was silent through all of this but now I decided to speak. "You mean we have to go back to Earth and vanquish two dark lords?" I asked.

"I know you all haven't been there since you became Guardians, but you should be able to handle it. You will also have help, do not fear of being alone in this conquest." Said the oracle.

We talked in our minds together to try and figure this out. 'it's pretty simple,' Kenna thought, 'Phobos is back and going to team up with some powerful dark wizard.' 'So we have to try and stop them from destroying everything and hurting innocent people.' Aira thought. 'Yes' we all thought together.

"OK," Cari said, "what do we have to do?" At this the oracle smiled. "You all will go to school again." He was met with many blank stares and incredulous faces. "Not just any school," he continued, " a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts?" Nova said confused, "that sounds gross." "It's a very good school, I assure you. I have an old friend who is the headmaster there." The oracle said.

"How are we supposed to defeat them by going to school?" I asked him. "Your not going there just to defeat them, your also going there to learn."

"So we really get to go back and be sort of normal?" Cari asked. The oracle smiled at us. "Yes, but you do not want to tell anyone of your powers, we do not want the dark lords to try and trick you into helping them. For if they do, there's no doubt what happened to Nerissa would happen to you."

I shivered. That name was known as evil in Candracar. Many believed her to still be alive. If she is then I never want to meet her.

Aira tried to make the sudden darkness go away by asking, "when do we go?"

"Tomorrow." The oracle told us. "You will take the veil to the school and meet the headmaster there. It will be the first day and you all will be in your 5th year. Some may look at you suspiciously because all the students start in 1st year."

"Interesting," Kenna said, "do you know what we'll be learning?" At that I had to roll my eyes, Kenna would always be Kenna. The oracle smile slightly at her and answered "many things that will help you as a Guardian, but know that I still want you regularly practicing your powers.

"But what about our belongings?" Nova asked him. "Dumbledore, the Headmaster, has it all taken care of for you. But, that does remind me, you all may take an animal with you. Which I'm sure none of you will have a problem with."

"Well, If we're done talking I'd like to go get ready for tomorrow." Cari said. "I believe it's best if you all go and do that and get plenty of rest, for tomorrow will be trying for all if you." The oracle said.

"Alright," I said, "I now have things to do. Goodnight everyone." There were a number if goodnights and sleep tights from them as I left.

When I got to my room and sat on my balcony looking at the night sky. Saturn was so close it almost looked like it would crash into Candracar. I sighed, I wondered what it would be like, to go back.

I smiled as my pet, Tryphon climbed onto my back. Tonight he was a monkey, he can change into any animal, which is good, because that means I can take him with me tomorrow. "Back to Earth," I whispered, "back home."
