Let's say the story takes place after the last episode in the cartoon, that Nerissa (the witch) had escaped and somehow became more powerful than ever. I hope you like the first chapter.
Elyon knew she shouldn't be here, in Phobos's forbidden library of all places. It most likely contained torture manuscripts, nefarious potion tomes, evil funky mojo. Elyon could guarantee they were disgusting too…just like his personality. But it became a necessity for her to be here. Still if her parents found out they will cease with the courtsies, and the regal appellation and immediately imprison her in her room for eternity. Not that she'd blame them…
The witch had evaded every plan for her capture, had escaped unscathered by her friends and was even gloating about it. It was driving Elyon insane. So she immerses herself in Phobos's dusty book collection. Let's see: evisceration spell, how to conjure a guillotine...transmission ritual. Yes!
It was old and ancient dark magic, as old as the druids. It was sayd that it could drain the intended person of almost all power, rendering them to a more vulnerable state. It only required a chant, three drops of blood and a written rune. Good thing she managed to trade a painting for Blank's needle. Than again, who knows where it has been…
Elyon chants the words solemly and drops three drops of blood on the painted rune…Suddenly the queen felt weak and a red portal appeared, drawing her in forcefully. Her last thought was: This is so not the model of awesomeness.
Phobos sat stiffly in his cage counting the days until revenge will finally be at his fingertips. Just waiting to hear Elyon and the guardian's tortured scream as he enacts his most potent magic against them. They are weak, eventually they will come to him again and when that happens nothing will stop the armageddon, the total annihilation of those infuriating, inferior simpletons.
And speaking of his sister, how alike their dear mother had she become, if Vathek's juvenile taunts were to be believed. Her very image. The only thing missing, in Phobos's opinion was their mother's cruelty.
In such brutal circumstances , Phobos always answered Vathek something like this:
"Ah, but how could such a naïve, dainty flower like my sister amount to anything? Daydreaming all day and worring about her pretty pictures all the time, never sparing a thought about Meridian's interests, about destroying the guardians. She'd much rather show mercy when swift retribution was needed. She very much remained the wailing brat I always remembered"
Even more, Phobos could bet his right arm his cretin of a little sister would never discover such a useful thing as dark magic…
Suddenly a swirling red portal opens up in Phobos's cell and draws him inside….
The Escanor siblings fall and crash into each other. Elyon gets to her feet first.
"Phobos…how did you escape your cage ?"
Phobos draws himself to his feet, towering over Elyon and says grinning:
"Pray tell, dear sister, you wouldn't have happened to play with forbidden magic now would you?"
"I…"
"Answer me you little fool!" Phobos shouts as he grabs her wrists and squeezes hard.
"Leave me alone! As if you're magic police!"
"We don't have all day, baby sister. I would certainly enjoy making you scream in agony if someone didn't block my powers. Which brings us back to my previous question…"
"Fine you mega jerk, I might have used a forbidden, transmission ritual!"
Phobos starts cackling darkly…
"Dear sister, your stupidity has exceeded my expectations. I don't know whether I should congratulate you or skin you alive, you impertinent brat!"
"Why? What have I done?"
Phobos started lecturing:
"What you have done, dear sister is imprison us into a different timeline, where the enemy is likely to be weaker than they currently are. Are you so incompetent that the pesky witch is giving you trouble?"
"That is not my fault, brother . Nerrisa came back more powerful because of a secret artifact"
"Ah, but how could she have escaped in the first place?"
Elyon's cheeksa reddened out of embarrassment.
"No comeback, dear sister? It is of no matter. The ritual has also drained almost all our powers and we need to stay together for survival"
"Why?!"
"Why Elyon, my location spell has confirmed. We are in Meridian 60 years before your birth, when a great war was waging between us and a foreign kingdom called Numisia. Facts which you should have known, had you bothered to open a book"
"You're not as smart as you believe Phobos, otherwise how do you justify your defeat?"
"Dumb luck on your part, little sister and dumb luck only. Do you accept the temporary truce or do I have to make you?"
"Fine, truce but only this time and just until we regain our powers."
"I assure you I have no desire to linger around."
Elyon didn't know why but when her evil brother sayd he didn't want to be anywhere near her, it still stung a little.
Elyon and Phobos located a friendly-looking yet a little run-down inn.
They sat on uncomftable, wooden chairs.
"Bartender, I demand only your best delicacies be brought", Phobos sayd, bored.
"Pay first, buddy"
"I shall make you a better trade, you bring us nourishment and your tongue doesn't get ripped off" Phobos says dangerously.
"No! Please excuse my brother , he is weary from the journey. If you could please give us some food we would repay you by working in the kitchens"
"Servant's work?" Phobos asks indignated
"We could use some extra hands washing the dishes. You've got yourself a deal, little miss"
Later that day a well dressed nobleman comes into the inn and addresses Elyon:
"Ah but what a beautiful little pet you are. Hair like golden corn and eyes like the most precious diamonds..."
"Beat it creep, I'm not interested".
"I would listen to my little sister, dear stranger. She is not worth that much consideration, with a temper to rival an angry pixie .and always acting tactless, like a bull in a china shop…"
Elyon starts growling.
"I like my girls that way", the stranger says.
"Now, now, stay away from her", Phobos says and sends a small beam of power that knocks the noble-man unconscious.
"You helped me?!"
"I am the only one allowed the pleasure of destroying you little sister "
Because of the commotion they get kicked out of the inn.
"So we're in the 'past Meridian'. That means, mother must rule here! I can finally meet my birth family!"
"If you are interested in such uninteresting ventures. Although I wouldn't recommend sister dear, seeing as the castle is bound to be very well protected and the queen would likely not take kindly to a younger astral-like version of herself. She will surely think of you as an infiltrator sent by the enemy"
"Why? Was mother not very trusting?...How was she?" Elyon asks waiting impatiently for her brother's answer.
"A hypocritical wretch with a penchant for putting people into oubliettes"
You must take after her, Elyon thought, even though she did not believe him.
