Okay so last time the gang along with Eric and Matt went to the Silver Dragon to try to talk some sense into their friend Hay Lin. Now at first a flashback was revealed of a conversation between Hay and her grandmother Yan Lin. When the gang finally got to their destination Irma was the first one to speak with Hay, seeing that it was not going to be a success she walked out of the room and called Eric to do the rest. When Eric first entered Hay was still unaware that Irma wasn't the one who came into the room, but when he spoke Hay immediately realized who she was speaking to. Eric was soon successfully able to talk Hay back to normal and tell her that he'll always be there for her.
Now they are making their way down to the others to tell them the story and hopefully moving on to the next step…asking friends and the Oracle for help in defeating Nerissa.
Back downstairs with the Others…
Will and the others were bored to death about the whole situation, for one they didn't know what could have happened right after Irma came down from Hay Lin's room. Now they were just waiting for Eric to come down any minute hopefully with a cheered-up Hay Lin.
"Alright that's it! I'm going back up there!" exclaimed Irma as she stood up from her seat "Hold on Irma, didn't you tell Eric that you'd let him handle everything? And you even said that you wouldn't eavesdrop on them." Said Taranee pulling Irma back down to sit on the chair
"I know what I said okay…It's just it's taking them too long already. If Eric was successful he would've been down by now." Said Irma
"Look weren't you the one who said that you believed that he'd be able to do this? So you should trust the guy Irma and I mean it." Said Cornelia
"I know you're bored of waiting for them to come down, just admit that. You aren't the only one you know. But you just have to trust Eric." Said Will
"Easy for you guys to say, you weren't the ones who say her like a total wreck up there." Said Irma "She was crying and it was like…it just wasn't her usual happy self anymore."
"Hey you can't blame her, after what just happened it must have been a shock to her. Besides we are talking about Eric here not just some stranger." Said Matt
"And we all know how she feels about Eric now don't we." Said Cornelia
"Yeah I guess you're right, but I do hope that they come down soon." Said Irma sadly
Now a few minutes more of waiting and they saw two happy figures walking down the stairs, smiling and talking to each other.
"Well I guess he was pretty successful after all Irma." Said Taranee
"Yeah form the looks of things Eric really worked wonders and turned this whole situation upside down." Said Will as she smiled looking at Eric and Hay
Eric and Hay Lin walked near their friends and smiled.
"Hey guys sorry about making you all worry so much about what happened last night…" said Hay in an apologetic tone
"It's no big deal Hay we understand. We're glad that you're back too." Said Cornelia with a smile
"Yeah from the looks of thing whatever Eric did really cheered you up." Said Matt smiling and then he said "Sorry about this whole thing Hay Lin."
"No problem Matt it wasn't your fault anyway. It was just an accident and besides, you were worried too much about Will to remember that." Said Hay
"Nice job Eric I knew you could do it!" exclaimed Irma
"Um…thanks Irma." Said Eric
"Yeah right, but just a few moments ago you were throwing a tantrum on what was taking them so long." Said Cornelia
"Hey I was a worried friend!" Irma said
"Good to have you back Hay Lin. But now I think that everyone will agree with me when I say that it isn't over yet." Said Will, her tone becoming really serious
"Will has a good point, we still have to worry about Nerisssa." Said Taranee
"I think it's time we asked help from the Oracle." Said Cornelia
"But guys we have a problem…who's going to watch over the Silver Dragon?" asked Hay Lin and then she continued "I promised my parents that I'd stay here until they came back."
"Well we can't discuss our new strategy against Nerissa without you Hay Lin." Said Will
"Why don't we just wait for a few more minutes I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to do so, maybe until her parents get back and we can ask permission to leave." Suggested Eric
"You know that's not really a bad idea…but we can only spare a few minutes, because we need to talk to the Oracle as soon as we can." Said Taranee
"It's not like we have a choice…" said Irma as she moaned of boredom
"Okay then that's the plan at least for now…oh yeah…Hay can I ask you a question?" asked Will
"Sure Will ask away." Said Hay Lin
"Okay…well first of all it's okay with you right?" asked Will
"Okay with what?" asked Hay in confusion
"Yeah Will what are you talking about?" asked Cornelia
"Well we have to go to Kandrakar right?" asked Will
"Yeah so?" asked Irma not getting the picture
"Let me guess…you're asking if she would mind if ever Eric came along with us right?" asked Matt
"Well…yeah that's it. I guess it's because we need to tell the Oracle about things and I think it would be better if he came along and they met in person." Suggested Will
"We're not in the position to object you know. One you're the keeper, you're the one who transports us there to begin with." Said Taranee
"Two we're okay with it considering we've already told him the things he needs to know." Said Cornelia
"And three, I think Hay should be the one to decide if ever Eric could come with us or not." Said Irma
"Wow you finished each others sentences." Said Matt with a laugh
"Um…girls? Mind filling me in?" asked Eric
"Wait up, before we do that Hay answer the question. Will you let him go or not?" asked Irma
"Well……" Hay Lin thought for a few seconds as everyone waited in silence for her answer. Then she finally spoke up "I guess that it's not really a big deal is it?"
"So I take that as a yes, sure and he can go?" asked Cornelia
"Well…sure I don't think there's anything wrong with that…unless of course he doesn't want to go." Pointed out Hay Lin
"Well you do want to come along right?" asked Cornelia facing Eric
"Um…sure…I guess?" said Eric the he asked "Go where exactly?"
"To Kandrakak, that's where you can meet the Oracle and…" before Irma could continue she heard Will's voice in her head
"Knock it off Irma! Don't tell him about her yet!" said Will telepathically
"What? Why not if he's coming along he's going to meet her sooner or later right?" asked Irma
"Well yeah that's true…I think Will just wants to see the look on Eric's face when he sees her." Said Cornelia
"Well we can all imagine that." Said Taranee joining in their telepathic chat
Their chat was disturbed by Eric saying "Hey girls you still there?"
"Huh? Oh yeah what was Irma saying again?" asked Cornelia
"You were telling him about the Oracle remember?" said Hay knowing full well why the girls were out of it earlier
"Oh right…Anyway you can meet the Oracle there and talk to him and stuff like that." Said Irma
"Oh…well I guess I'd like to come along with you guys. I still don't know a lot of things about this whole guardian thing." Said Eric
"Well at least we're making a bit of progress right." Said Will
"Come on it won't be that bad I mean he just has to go there…he's got nothing to loose…right?" asked Matt
"Yeah when the Oracle met Matt he welcomed him happily like he does to us, so I'm sure that Eric's going to be just fine." Said Taranee
"Yeah, but the difference is that Matt wasn't the special friend of Hay." Said Irma telepathically
"Come on guys knock it off I'm sure that she'll be really glad to finally meet Eric in person." Said Will
"Yeah by the way Hay talks to her about Eric I think that she already gets he impression he's a really nice guy." Said Taranee
"So Eric don't worry about it…you have absolutely nothing to be afraid of." Said Cornelia returning back to their original conversation
"Yeah I'm sure they'd be glad to meet you." Said Matt
"They?" asked Eric "I thought it was just one person?"
"Well…we'll mainly be there to talk with the Oracle, but there are other people there in Kandrakar…if you could even call some of them people." Said Irma
"But just to let you know…there is someone who's looking forward to meet you other than the Oracle." Said Will with a smile
"Someone?" asked Eric
"Don't worry just relax everything's going to be fine right Hay?" said Irma
"Come on cut the teasing…don't mind her you'll be fine, the Oracle's really nice you know." Said Hay Lin
"Yeah he sure is, aside from the fact that he makes us do all the work." Said Irma
"Oh stop complaining already." Said Cornelia "You aren't the only one with problems."
Later their talk was interrupted by the door opening, and soon Hay's parents came in…
"Oh hello girls everything okay?" asked her mom
"Yeah everything's fine mom." Replied Hay
"I'm glad to see that you're back to normal." Said Mrs. Lin with a smile
"Thanks I'm glad that I am too, sorry to have made you all worry last night." Said Hay
"It's alright we're just glad that you're okay." She replied as she hugged Hay
"Hey mom do you mind if I went out with the girls today?" asked Hay Lin
"No as long as you have nothing else to do why not." Said Mrs. Lin
"Thanks mom…we better get going we're kind of in a hurry today." Said Hay
So each of them said their goodbyes and thank you's as they all left the Silver Dragon. They went to a place where they were sure no one would see them and Will spoke up
"Okay guys this is it. Time to pay a little visit to Kandrakar." Said Will
So she opened up a portal that led them to Kandrakar and they all went in one by one. As soon as all of them were in the portal vanished…
In Kandrakar
When they all airbed at Kandrakar Eric seemed to be the only one who stood stiff…he couldn't believe what he was seeing at all. Soon the girls…and Matt noticed and some let out laughs.
"Hey is he alright?" asked Matt
"Well I guess he's shocked alright, just as expected." Said Will
"Hey Eric…you still with us?" asked Irma waving her hand in front of his face
"Oh um…yeah…I think…I'm not seeing things am I?" asked Eric
"Nope this is a real thing and this is…" before Hay Lin could finish she was interrupted
"Kandrakar…" said the Oracle
"Oracle!" exclaimed the girls
"Welcome guardians, Matt Olsen and…you must be Eric Lyndon correct?" asked the Oracle
"Um…y-yes sir." Replied Eric
"Do you always have the habit of popping right in front of us when we least expect it?" asked Irma
"Welcome once again guardians to Kandrakar. I suppose you have something to discuss with me?" asked the Oracle
"Well yeah, that's kind of why we're here." Said Cornelia
"Alright then we will soon talk. But for now…" as the Oracle was talking…
"Hello there gilrs!" they heard a really familiar voice call
"Yan Lin!" the girls exclaimed
"W-who?" asked Eric looking at Matt, he was shocked to hear the surname Lin here of all places
"You'll see…" said Matt with a smile
"Grandma!" exclaimed Hay as she ran and gave her grandmother a hug
"Hello there hay Lin I've missed you." Said Yan Lin as she hugged back
"…" at first Eric was speechless…did he hear right?
The girls looked at Eric with slight grins and Will spoke "Hey Eric are you still holding up?"
"I think he's about to get sick Will." Said Irma
"Eric you okay?" asked Taranee
"Y-yeah…great…" said Eric then he asked "Um…is that person…"
"Yup, her name's Yan Lin and yeah you heard quite right…she's Hay's grandmother." Said Cornelia
"Oh…." Was the only thing that could come out of his mouth.
"Don't worry she wont bite." Said Irma
"I don't think now's the time for the jokes Irma." Said Matt "I think he's starting to get pretty nervous."
Hay Lin let go of her grandmother and looked at her friends and at Eric…then she decided to go near them…
"Hey guys everything alright?" asked Hay
"Oh we're fine Hay I'm just not too sure about him." Said Irma pointing at Eric
Hay Lin saw how Eric looked and he didn't really look like he was feeling alright "Eric are you okay?" she asked concerned
"Yeah I'm fine no need to worry about me." Replied Eric with a smile "I'm just pretty shocked that's all."
"If you're wondering what my grandma is doing here…well she was the past guardian of air before me." Explained Hay Lin
Then the Oracle suddenly spoke "Yan Li is here to speak to you about a few things…then afterwards I will give you my own advise. I shall see you later then." The he left the room
"Okay…once again he leaves us totally clueless." Said Irma
"Now guardians shall we talk?" asked Yan Lin
"Um sure.. but before that…you remember Matt don't you grandma?' asked Hay
"Of course I do." Said Yan Lin with a smile
"Well you see today we kinda brought someone else with us." Said Will
"Yeah…um this is Eric Lyndon one of our good friends…" introduced Cornelia
"Oh yes…the nice young boy who Hay Lin often talks to me about. I've heard a lot of good things about you." Said Yan Lin with a smile
"She talks about me?" asked Eric looking at Hay
"Um…I just tell her things…" said Hay Lin looking away
"Yes she does…I want to thank you Eric." Said Yan Lin
"Huh? But why I don't think I deserve thanks for anything." Said Eric
"But you do, you've made Hay Lin very happy indeed and you've even learned to accept her and cheer her up." Replied Yan Lin "And I know you did that for a very special reason." She continued with a smile
"Thank you…" said Eric
"Um…sorry to interrupt, but what about our issue with Nerissa?" asked Irma
"Oh yes…I've heard about that from the Oracle." Said Yan Lin as she turned to face the other guardians "For now we all suggest that you go to Meridian and seek help from Elyon and the rebel leaders specifically Caleb."
"So you want us to immediately go to Meridian as soon as we can?" asked Will
"Yes, your main objective now is to find and defeat Nerissa before she causes havoc here in Kandrakar." Said Yan Lin
"Okay so we need help from our friends then…sounds like a good plan. If we can get help in Meridian then we'll be able to get through with this quicker." Said Taranee
"And remember Will, whatever happens you can't let her get her ands on the heart." Said Yan Lin "She is already a powerful opponent."
"Yeah let's not make things worse." Said Irma
"Grandma what about you and the Oracle…will you be safe here in Kandrakar without anybody else guarding it?" asked Hay Lin
"Don't worry about us. Right now all you need to do is to find a way to defeat her as soon as possible." Said Yan Lin "I'm actually much more worried about you girls."
"Don't worry we'll be alert and careful, we'll make sure to be ready when she shows up." Said Will
"Then that is all you need to know guardians." Said the Oracle suddenly coming in "Now I believe it is time for you to all return home and think about what to do next from there."
"Wha—but I thought that we'd still be talking with you?" asked Irma
"I have nothing more to tell you Yan Lin has explained all that needs to be done." Said the Oracle "Although if Kandrakar is n danger we will summon you all here again."
"Um…but Oracle shouldn't we be heading to Meridian now?" asked Cornelia
"Looks like someone's in a hurry to see Caleb." Teased Irma
"Knock it off! So I am glad that I'll be seeing Caleb again, but don't forget that Nerissa could strike any moment!" said Cornelia
"She's right we cat fight her unprepared like the last time, we were lucky enough that Eric was the only one passing by." Said Taranee in agreement
"Yes that's true, but if any of you stay here any longer suspicion will be raised at your own home." Said the Oracle
"And do not forget that Matt and Eric are with you, their parents will soon be looking for them as well." Said Yan Lin
"Guess their right you guys, we have no choice we'll try to go to Meridian as soon as we can but not now." Said Will
"I agree with Will, my parents are waiting for me too you know." Said Hay Lin
"Alright then it's settled we will now be sending you all home, good luck guardians we believe in you all." Said the Oracle
And with that the girls and the two guys were sent back to Heatherfeild….
Heatherfeild…
They landed behind the Silver Dragon with luckily no one was passing by…It was already pretty dark so they had to go home soon.
"Okay so that means that we have to go to Meridian…" said Irma
"I say we go tomorrow I mean none of you have plans right?" asked Cornelia
"Yeah I guess we're all free then. So we'll meet up here in the Silver Dragon as early as possible." Said Taranee
"Hey guys sorry to interrupt but I have to go my mom will be waiting for me at home and everything so…" stated Will
"Yeah no problem the rest of us should go home too…" said Matt then he looked at Will "Can I walk you home?"
"S-sure if it's okay…" said Will "See you guys…" waved Will as she and Matt were soon out of sight
"Lucky her, she's even got an escort." Said Irma "Well anyway I should be going too before my dad gets mad at me for getting home late." And so Irma went home as well and later Cornelia and Taranee followed. Soon only Eric and Hay were left alone.
They walked to the doors of the Silver Dragon in silence until Hay asked "Shouldn't you be heading home too Eric I mean your grandfather might get worried about you." Said Hay
"Well I'll be going in a few seconds…" said Eric looking up at the sky
"Oh…look abut what you saw today…" said Hay
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone about it." Said Eric
"It's not that really…I mean when you met my grandma…and all of those things that she said…" said Hay
"Huh? Oh that…Um…it's no big deal it was pretty nice getting to meet her…" said Eric
"I'm happy about that." Replied Hay with a smile
"R-right…I should be going now, your parents must be wondering where you are." Said Eric looking at Hay
"Alright see you tomorrow Eric…" said Hay as she was about to turn away
"Wait Hay Lin…" Eric stopped her
"What is i…??" before she could finish Eric kissed her in the cheek which left both of them red…
"Um…I have to go…night." Said Eric as he walked away leaving a really shocked, dumbfounded but very happy Hay Lin
All of them soon got a good night sleep to prepare themselves for the day ahead.
