Diana awoke, wide eyed and frightened, "where am I" she exclaimed in shock as she looked around her, all energy drained from her being. Chains enveloped her wrists, "what are you doing, why am I in chains?!" as she tried helplessly to get up and free herself from this prison.

"You are awaiting judgement by the high court of the elders as to what your punishment should be for the crime you have committed" she heard in response from outside, it was a guard she was not familiar with but from his shadow seemed to tower above her in height.

"What did I do?" as Diana's mind raced to try and thing about why she might be chained up, she could remember throwing herself Leona with all of her force but after that her memory became hazed as she tried to remember what had followed.

"You attacked the chosen one and placed her into a hospital and for that you will be punished" replied the guard in a husky tone.

Diana's mind was racing, how could I have taken down Leona, she is far more powerful than I was, I was stupid to have thought of trying to fight her, but now? I never considered this outcome. "Do you know how long it will take for me to get out of this cell?"

Then came a voice she recognized "until Leona has woken up and told her story of the events that passed yesterday I suppose" said Alexis as she suddenly appeared in front of the cell, "what you did though was spectacular to watch, I never would have imagined anybody would have the power to break through her solar flare, it was.. Amazing!"

Listening to this sparked Diana's memory and slowly she was able to recall the events of the previous night, she had been overcome by this otherworldly power that she didn't know she possessed, "I must have finally been blessed by the sun's power during that fight" she whispered even though she could not believe it as the sun had never aided her in the past, but then why do I feel so powerless right now, surely it would be giving me the power to get to my feet.

"Whatever it was it sure was amazing to watch, Leona deserved everything that was coming to her" Alexis said while smiling. The guard looked over to her with a disapproving look "I mean… it was lucky you managed to withstand that solar flare".

"I think you had better go" the guard exclaimed in a rough harsh voice, and with that Alexis went running back down the path towards the library.

Diana was forced to sit there in silence – having nobody else to talk too as the guard had resumed his position being mute, she was powerless to try and escape from her cell and even if she could she would have the guard to answer too.

It was as night fell that Diana began to feel rejuvenated as she looked up to the sky, tomorrow is going to be a full moon she thought, as a girl she had always liked looking at the full moon the most, it offered her an escape from work and always seemed to revive her spirit from it being battered from the days' worth of training, and with that she went back to sleep.

"And then she launched herself at me, and… it caught me off guard… she got a lucky blow while I wasn't prepared and managed to knock me out" claimed Leona as she finished telling her version of the events.

"Surely the sun's chosen one should have been able to defend herself from a weakling such as Diana" questioned Elder Gregor.

"As I said… she caught me by surprise and even though she may not be powerful she is fast and managed to hit me before I had time to react" shouted Leona, frustrated at the bombardment of questions she had received on her story throughout the last hour, even though in the back of her mind she knew that she had not told the truth, she could not admit that she had been overpowered in front of the Elders or what would that say about how powerful she was, thinking about power, Leona had still not been able to comprehend where Diana had acquired such strength.

"Of course she did" mocked the elder, "do you not remember back to the Right of Kor when Diana had to prove herself in front of the Rakkor".

Leona could remember, how could she forget, there had been lots of teenagers taking the Right of Kor that day (the ancient right of the Rakkor where a teenager of 16 years of age would have to fight to the death with another in the same situation, where the strongest would prove their worth and become part of the clan), Diana was of the last people that day and the sun was setting, Diana had been knocked to the ground after what seemed an age of fighting with both sides nearing fatigue, it was as that killing blow was about to end Diana's life that her eyes shined dimly silver and she managed to roughly roll to the side and escape the blow. No person should have had that energy left in them to dodge that after that long fighting – but Diana had managed it and subsequently kicked her opponent's legs from under them to then end their life with a slit of the throat with the knife strapped to her belt.

"What of it" questioned Leona, "Diana fought well to survive, is that not the aim of the ancient tradition, to prove your worth?"

"it is" elder Gregor exclaimed, "but Diana got lucky, she was never meant to live, she has no connection with the sun's power, how somebody as weak of her could have beaten you is a disgrace" and with that Leona stormed out of the room.

Diana had now been locked up for three days when she was ordered to the high court. The walk down to the court was a lonely one with guards either side of her, whoever she passed only looked at her with angry glares.

They were almost there when Diana's eyes met with those filled with mutual hatred for her, it was Leona who was now running out of the court, towards her. As she fled past Diana she whispered "I hope you get what you deserve" and with that she was gone.

Skulking into the courtroom Diana heard gasps from all around, she was about to question what was wrong but she saw it for herself, the court was donned with mirrors all around to reflect the sun's rays and yet in these mirrors Diana saw – her eyes were shining… silver.
