SORRY if this update is REALLY late! I just came home from a relative's wedding, and now I'm flying on the keyboard for this.

Enjoy! XD

"Reanne?"

"Hey, Rea, snap outta it!"

The voices rang in my ears as consciousness grabbed me and pulled me to opening my eyes, looking into the eyes of Will, Kai, Ashlyn and Zane. "OMG REA I THOUGHT YOU WERE FREAKING DEAD!" Ashlyn shook me violently until my hair was sprawled everywhere on my head. "H-hi, Ashlyn." I stammered, as she crushed me into a hug, grinning wildly.

Once the commotion was settled, we started talking about the prophecy. "It doesn't really sounds like a prophecy, you know. But there's information... about the Child of Night and Day uniting." Kai turned to me. I shrugged. "I'm the child of Night, because the Night represents Moon, and Day is Sun, which means it's the Golden Knight of Sun."

"And he might be involved with the Tree of Eternity, through the portal, of course." Jay commented. "And maybe... the three of us are..." Will mused. "We're the materials of the portal?" Ashlyn frowned. "Will's the door, me the lock, and Reanne the key to me. But we don't have anything that represents anything."

I nodded. I don't look a single bit of a key, Ashlyn have no resemble with a normal lock, and Will's too fit to be a door. "Wait, Will, what did the Lion said again?"

"Golden paths... they prophecy didn't say anything about golden paths!" Will stuttered. I scratched my head a little, confused. "Something about golden paths... Is there any golden paths in this world? Like, made out of solid gold?" I asked, especially the five elemental ninjas. They shrugged. "No one would do that." Cole had a hard tone in the voice. Everyone nodded with agreement, despite the hope dawning on the atmosphere. I sighed, and slumped on my sleeping bag.

This prophecy and dreams are hopeless to decipher, even if we all gave our best shot at it... But what can we do? I flopped over my ruffled sheets as my ears got reluctant to hear any of the discussions. But at least we have time... right? A few years before I die.

And I have a feeling it could be soon.

Hours flew by, and we were excused to our tents to spend the last night of the camp. Tomorrow, we were gonna have a formal ball at the center, and my dress was completely burned away into ashes, which the cause was completely non existent in their minds.

I tossed in my bed, my eyes refusing to close, my mind was charged with energy. Worse, the only thing I could ever think was the prophecy. I was itching to go out again to take a chilly stroll, but the fear to be caught by Ken and the serpentines made me convinced I was better to be stuck here. Golden path... golden path... where can I find anywhere that has a golden patches that forms a path? Kidnap King Midas? He doesn't even exist.

I glanced at the plastic window of the tent, watching as the peaceful moonlight filtered the gloomy darkness, which brought me a little smile on my face. I flapped back, and slammed my head on my comfy pillow.

Somehow I managed to sleep, looking at how violently Kai was shaking me and telling me to pack up my sleeping bag. I jolted up, and hastily rolled my sleeping bag into a clump of fabric, before attaching it onto my bag. Sensei Nokami glared at us when she saw we were the last one coming into the gathering line, and huffed before leading us back to the waiting buses.

Fortunately, we had a stop in the city for a hour, so there was enough time to shop for my formal attire and extra stuff to play on the bus. We were too caffeinated to sleep or play I spy. I went into a dress shop and bought something I fell into immediately. It was a gorgeous knee length silver dress, with chic designed layers of thin ruffles edging each layers, and a stylish floral patterns around the bodice, carefully studded with diamonds, and two very loose side short sleeves attached to the dress. I took a small comb with a white artificial blossom adorning it, and a pair of silver ballerina flats with two diamonds sown onto it.

I paid the cashier for the dress hurriedly, and the cashier folded it neatly into a bag before giving it to me, and I dashed for the bus.

I could barely recognize the center.

Seven days ago, it was a total showcase for violence and martial arts. Now, it transformed into a total white ballroom for the last event of camp. White flowers was hung up with baby pink and blue balloons with multicolored streamers, plus a red banner with a golden 'Congratulations!' printed on it.

There was a wide variety of mouthwatering food to chose from placed at a side, so delicious, heavenly looking it might let Zane go green with envy if he could. Even a chocolate fountain stood at a table, showering thick, rich chocolate liquid, accompanied by a small mountain of juicy fruits, waiting to be dipped into the chocolate.

Melodious music hummed from a nearby violin band, every euphonious note filled me, making me dreamy as I stared at the bands playing tune after tune, giving me a terrible urge to dance. Unfortunately, the Sons of Ares didn't take all the beauty in. I was greatly annoyed when they started to corrupt the beauty of the music by laughing hard and slapping their legs, then played with the chocolate fountain, before crashing on each other to get to the dressing rooms to change into formal attires.

I went into the dressing room, and found it was a total slumber party in it. thanks to the Sexy Killers. They were lounging around the leather seats that were supposed to be a changing stool for bags, gossiping and chattering rudely, the boxes of make up were stacked at the side, and some bags scattered across the marble floor. I felt Ashlyn's soul tightened as she glanced at Veronica, who was glaring at the blonde haired girl with pure hatred, before saying "Ooh, someone's here!".

The ginger haired girl from Girl Power, who was Seliene, gave me a assuring yet tired smile. "They're always like that. How I wish I can punch her in the face." I replied her smile with one, and told her to get some rest for the ball.

I ignored the stares and sarcastic laughs me and Ashlyn received, and stormed hastily into a changing corner.

As I let my hair off without the band, I tucked the flower hair clip onto my hair, and strapped my flats, and checked my face, which was lightly touched with make up. The girls outside were obiously starting to change too, thanks to the moaning and complaining about they had nothing to wear, or they look ugly, and expected compliments. I closed my ears for a second out of irritation, and departed. The Sexy Killers just finished changing. They were covered with shimmering, flouncy gowns sown with multicolored patterns, and hairdos I see from Teen Vogue, plus make up on their face so thick I could picture how close their face looked from a clown. Jewels adorned their fingers, and designer bags dangled from on their arms.

The Girl Power team was dressed simply yet beautifully. Seline was in a short sleeved orange gown with frilly edges on her bodice and royal patterns dotting her gown, which was layered with a faint shade of scarlet satin, matched with a almost transparent red jacket, wrist length silk gloves and her ginger hair tied into a bun, pinned with a golden band. She almost looked like someone from the royal family.

Ashlyn came out too, and she looked related to the princess. Worn in a royal purple elbow length lacy sleeved dress with golden edgings, a simple pattern of butterflies was printed on her left side of the gown, along with a maroon shawl with sophisticated patterns on it, matched with low heeled shoes that gave a peek of her toes.

As soon as the party started, the music got smoother, and the heavenly sound almost pushed my soul into a world of heavenly clouds where I floated so comfortably. But my heart insisted on going out, into the garden of the center.

"I'm going to the garden for myself, is that okay?" I asked Kai, who dressed in a smart tuxedo and had a red rose tucked in his pocket, matching the color of his tie. he nodded, and continued waltzing with Seliene, who was smiling happily, a curve of heavens in a girl's lips.

The garden was designed for calmness, yoga for the fighters to soothe themselves. The sign of yin yang printed on the center of all the beautiful green sculptures and marble statues. There was some mats on the freshly unfurled grass, for mediation and yoga exercises.

The minute I stepped out into the green beauty of nature, fresh breezes welcomed me, making my thoughts clear. The evening was shaded with a mixture of a color of the romantic midsummer purple, and the light hue of the freshly ripe oranges. Clouds like thin threads from a wool shirt streaked the sky. The gentle autumn breezes, carrying small lines of withered leaves with them, licked my hair and making the ruffles of my hair rustle like bushes.

The sun turned into a peaceful, round sphere hanging in the romantic evening sky, waiting for the moon to rise. I took another breath, and began wondering about the garden, letting my mind sink into the lush world of nature.

I was wondering through the maze when my eyes looped onto spotted sparkling on the grass. I held my breath for a brief moment, and craned my neck to have a better look at the source of light as the evening colors were replaced by deep sapphire blue, and the moon, as white as a pearl in the ocean, hung in the night.

It the most beautiful flower she had ever seen, a lovely shape for a rose, blossoming smooth and radiating such fascinating beauty. Light reflected its golden petals as it shimmered under the dark, like a star lingering in the universe. It's leaves were still green, but it was just like staring at emerald. I plucked it up both with fascination and curiosity, careful not to leave any golden petals drifting from the attractive blossom.

"It quite matches my suit, you know."

I whirled around, my heart almost leaping from my skin as I attempted to see the man interrupting my peaceful moment. It was a blonde haired guy, his hair streaking on his head like a wave of metallic golden liquid, perfect features decorating his glowing, pale skin. Golden eyes sparkled, and a hint of amusement tugged his lips as I stared at him blankly. He was wearing a french masquerade formal suit, with golden fabric and golden linings dotting his coat, and a gold and black staff dangling in his gloved hand. In another, he was holding another alluring spark of nature- a silver lily, its silver petals glowing lightly, as if there was a candle flickering inside it.

"Who are you?" I trembled with a little fright. A look at his face was enough to give me the creeps of a bad guy, like he was gonna catch and eat me. The man must've read my thoughts, because he laughed, a soft jingle of the bells, and gazed at me again. "Chill, I don't bite."

"Well, you look like you do."

"Never judge a book by its cover."

"Never listen to a stranger."

"You have a sharp tongue, don't you?" The guy mused, and gazed at the lily. "Beautiful beings of water nature. Never failed to dazzle me..." He looked up, and aa thought hit me immediately, striking me like a bowling ball. "You.. you're the Golden Knight of the Sun."

And what happens? Thanks for reading! Stay tuned... for the next chapter! And I really like reviews! =D
