Chapter 11 Nerissa's tale
Heatherfield.39 years ago
In a small bedroom sat a young 11 year old girl. She had long raven black hair and she wore a homemade knit sweater with a pair of blue jeans.
She growled with an angry voice: "Miss Knickerbocker can tell all the things she wants but math is something to torture young children with."
Her record player said to her: "But remember what your mother said, miss Nerissa. If you fail your math test this week you can't have your birthday party next week."
"I know Elvis, God it's embarrassing to get a lecture from your record player." Said Nerissa the first half and whispered the second half.
Suddenly she heard the cracking of electricity behind her. When she looked around she saw a large purple oval thing in her room. Suddenly a young man with long blond hair stepped through followed by four girls.
"Greetings, my name is chancellor Cedric from the counsel of Candracar and I'm summoned by the Oracle to pick the five of you and take you to Candracar."
Nerissa stepped up and said: "Why do you even think I'm coming with you? For all I know you could be some pervert."
Cedric thought to himself 'Ssstupid girl. Why musst she caussse trouble?'
But he said: "Please I mean you no harm but it's important for the infinite dimension that you speak with the Oracle."
Nerissa then told him: "Fine but if you try anything you'll regret it." and with that she picked up a baseball bat and the six of them walked through the portal.

When they stepped out of the portal they were greeted by a young bald man with a strange tattoo on the side of his head while wearing a white robe.
"Greetings young guardians and thank you chancellor Cedric."
Cedric said: " You're welcome." and he walked away.
The Oracle turned to the guardians who introduced themselves to each other and he began to explain everything.
When the Oracle was finished with his explanation, Kadma asked: "And how do you expect us to find the mysterious man who has been hiring villains from the worlds of the Infinite worlds?"
The Oracle answered: "Guardians, I should begin with Meridian because that is the biggest world and it lies in the center so it is the best place to start."

"Alright Yanni, spill it. Why did you want to meet here instead of Candracar?" Asked Nerissa.
Yan Lin answered: "Girls, I think Candracar is compromised."
"You must be joking, Yan Lin! Those guys were born as good as you can get." said Kadma.
Cassidy said: "I was afraid to say anything but sometimes when we are in Candracar I get the feeling that my mind is being lulled to numbness."
Halinor said: "Here something to consider as well. In nine years we still haven't found the guy and all we have to show for our trouble is that Kadma is queen of Zamballa and that he goes by the name P."
Nerissa said then the one thing that was on every one's mind: "There's a spy in Candracar."
It was at that moment a large purple portal opened and eight knights in white armor and a gold crest
with the sign of the Oracle on their chest.
"Wow the Oracle's personal guards somebody pissed him off for good."
Suddenly chancellor Cedric walked up front and said: "Guardian keeper Nerissa you're hereby under Candracar's arrest for espionage, betrayal of Candracar and the misuse of your power."
Before anybody could respond Nerissa was shackled.
Yan Lin hugged Nerissa and whispered: "Come lets get to the bottom of this."
Candracar 30 years ago
When everybody arrived at Candracar the Oracle met them with a sad face and said with a sad tone in his voice: "Welcome guardians but I wish it was under better circumstances."
"Oracle what is the meaning of this?" Asked a furious Nerissa while holding her shackled arms in front of her.
The Oracle's hands began to glow and some clothes appeared in his hands
"Do you recognize any of these clothes, Nerissa? "The Oracle asked.
Nerissa answered truthfully: "Yes they're mine and I haven't seen them in months but why is it important?"
The Oracle continued: "They were found in a suspected hideout of P and now the counsel needs to be informed to decide your fate. In the meantime you will no longer be the keeper of the heart."
The Oracle took the heart of Candracar from Nerissa's neck. The Oracle walked to Cassidy and gave her the heart while saying: "Water guardian, because your element is the the only one that can conduct Quintessence, you will be the new keeper of the heart."
Nerissa was flabbergasted but before she could do anything she heard Cassidy in her mind: "Nerissa I put a potion in your pocket, when you throw it on the floor it opens a random portal. Go and prove your innocence."
Nerissa nodded a thank you she ran up front grabbed the bottle and threw it on the floor and ran through the portal while it closed behind her.
Yan Lin whispered to Cassidy: "And where did you get that potion Cassy?"
"I traded it with a passling for some bubblegum and three hotdogs, because I thought something like that could always come in handy if we were in trouble and needed a quick getaway."
Cloudtower. Griffin's office 30 years ago
Griffin was happy. All her hard work had paid off and there she sat as the newly appointed headmistress of Cloudtower when suddenly on her desk a portal opened and a shacked young woman ran in her office and fell flat on her face from her desk.
Griffin ran to the girl her hands glowing with magic and said to woman: "Who are you and what is the meaning of this?"
Nerissa looked up and said: "My name is Nerissa and I need help to clear my name from crimes I didn't commit."
Griffin looked at the woman and an idea popped in her head and said: "If you became a student here at Cloudtower I can offer you a safe haven to begin your investigation."
Nerissa didn't have to think twice and answered: "So where do I sign up."

Nerissa was pissed. 11 Years of hiding and she still wasn't closer of finding out who had framed her. She still felt like that every time she almost figured it out then to discover that it didn't fit. That she was missing a big piece of the puzzle. She walked through the streets of Magix when suddenly she saw a man with long blond hair and he wore a green robe with red decorations on the robe.
'Chancellor Cedric. What's he doing here?' she thought but then everything clicked together in her mind.
Besides her, the guardians and the Oracle, Cedric was with every meeting they had to discuss P. Nerissa ran up to Cedric and grabbed him by the collar of his robe.
She hissed with all the venom in her voice: "I have finally found you chancellor traitor Cedric."
Cedric sneered back: "Look the fallen guardian figured it out. Thanksss to the sssstar of Threbe it only took you more than twenty yearssss."
Nerissa suddenly hit her head while thinking 'The star was the only thing strong enough to keep everybody out of their way when they got too close!' and she said: "I'm guessing your puppeteer is wearing the damn star?"
Cedric laughed: "But you didn't hear the besssst part sssince you ran, everyone thinks you're guilty sso you can't even go back to Candracar with this information because you'll be aresssted on sight."
Now after more than 20 years she could finally get the answer she desired: "Why me?"
Cedric answered: "Sssimpel, you were getting too close so we needed Candracar sidetracked."
Nerissa was furious.
She made a few hand gestures and yelled: "Totalus slitherus!"
Her hands began to glow pitch black and shot a large black energy ball at Cedric She saw Cedric bend over, screaming in pain as he began to grow. His legs disappeared and were replaced with a long tail, his hands turned into claws, he ripped out of his clothes while his skin was replaced with scales and when he touched his face he could feel only a snake head.
Cedric slithered angry towards her while screaming: "What have you done to me?"
While Nerissa ran away she noticed a car stopping next to her.
A young blond woman said to her: "Get in quickly."
Nerissa jumped in the car and said: "Thanks for the rescue and my name is Nerissa."
The woman smiled: "Nice to meet you meet you Nerissa, I'm Luna."
Heatherfield 16 years ago
A young redheaded woman was reading on her couch when she was disturbed by a loud banging on the door. 'Who is that at this hour of the night?' she thought. She walked to the front door while conjuring a small water orb in her hands and opened the door.
She saw a crying woman standing there so she asked: "Can I help you?"
The crying woman looked at her with pleading eyes and said with a broken voice: "Cassidy I need your help they kidnapped my baby."
Cassidy looked surprised and pulled the woman in a tight hug and said: "Of course I'll help you Nerissa."
They walked into the apartment and both women sat down on the couch "Where are the rest of the girls? "Asked Nerissa.
Cassidy answered: "Kadma lives now on Zamballa, Halinor took a job in Candracar and Yan Lin is in China for family business."
"A shit" Cursed Nerissa.
Cassidy pulled the heart of Candracar from under her clothes and gave it to Nerissa
"Here if we are going to do this we are going to need all the advantages we can have and you were better with the heart than me."
"So where do we need to go from here?" Cassidy continued.
"Mount Thanos in Meridian" Answered Nerissa.
Nerissa held the heart in the sky and yelled: "Guardians unite."
When Nerissa and Cassidy had changed Nerissa was exited "God how I missed this feeling." Nerissa said.
"Nerissa how do we get to Meridian?" Cassidy asked.
"Like this. Transportus mount Thanos!" Nerissa yelled.
Cassidy was surprised when Nerissa's hands shot a large ball of electricity which formed a portal right in the living room and while they stepped through, the only thing Cassidy could think of was amazing. When the two women stepped through the portal they stood at the base of a very large mountain
"Nerissa where have you been all these years and how did you have a baby?"
Nerissa started to explain everything to Cassidy.
"But Cassy, Cassy, Cassy. Didn't you and your mother had the talk? But here goes. When a man loves a woman-" Nerissa began with a sly grin on her face.
Cassidy interrupted her: "I know that already and better than you, you old witch because I'm a doctor." She said in a fake angry voice.
Nerissa laughed but continued: "I have lived for the last four years in Meridian and I met the most wonderful man there and the rest you can guess, but when I came home last night I found my fiance unconscious with a note to meet the kidnapper at the top of the mountain." and they both started to fly to the top.
The top of Mount Thanos
After a 90 minute flight they both reached the top they stood on a large rock and snow covered plateau Nerissa screamed: "Here I am bastards give me my baby!"
Nerissa and Cassidy saw a large shadow in the sky flying towards them. When they looked up they saw a large black dragon with three men riding the dragon. All three men wore black pants black shirt, black jackets and black boots, the only difference was one had long blond hair and wore a black fedora hat, the second had a light brown skin tone with braided brown hair and the last had long red hair. When they had landed the black dragon changed in to the fourth member of the group with the same attire only he was bald with a pink mohawk.
Then the man with the fedora spoke: "Well Ogron you're right kidnap the kid and the Earth fairies come out of hiding."
"But of course I'm right, Gantles. Our client predicted it."
Nerissa said: "I came, so please Ogron let my baby go."
Ogron thought for a moment and said: "I'll make you Earth fairies a deal. If you can beat us you're free to go with your baby." and he put the baby in a protective force field.
Ogron yelled: "Dunan, Anagan, you take the redhead and we'll take 'mommy'!"
Cassidy flew up high stretched her arms wide and the next moment it was raining as if the heavens opened again for a new storm flood. Dunan started running and changed into a cheetah and started zigzagging while dodging the big water pellets while Anagan legs started to glow purple and he started to run like hell while dodging the water.
Nerissa flew to Ogron and Gantles screamed: "Quintessence!"and shot with both hands two large lightening blasts.
Ogron laughed while he adsorbed the lightening blast and shot them back at Nerissa while Gantles clapped his hands together sending a giant shock wave at Nerissa, who just dodged them and both blasts hit Dunan and Anagan in their backs. Dunan and Anagan fell flat on their faces with the wind knocked out of them. Cassidy took the chance she got she flew to the force field and grabbed it and flew to the air. Ogron saw what Cassidy had planned and he flew up into the air his eyes began to glow.
"I've had enough of you Earth fairies." He growled.
Nerissa looked up and saw the how the dark clouds filled with electricity form in the sky.
The last words Cassidy spoke were: "Run and get both of you to safety." and she threw the force field to Nerissa.
Nerissa could only watch in horror how a large lightening bolt hit Cassidy and burn a hole clean through her body and she fell in to a deep ravine. Nerissa with her baby flew through the air and yelled: "Transportus home!"
Pyros present day
Will sat with tears in her eyes and asked: "What happened next?"
Nerissa answered: "I had a long talk with my fiance and we decided that he and our baby would go underground and I would go into hiding on Solaria with Luna, but before I left I gave the heart of Candracar with a sorry note to Yan Lin."
Will had one last question and asked: "Will you ever tell the names of your child and the father?"
"Maybe when the world is safer for them."
