On Elysion the celebration was at its peak. Until a violent wind blew through the crowd stopping all music and dancing. Aiyana lifted her head towards the sky as she saw a dark shadowing beam appear. Aiyana then screamed yelling, "Run away, danger is coming from the sky."
At the cry of that the beam made a fire cracking sound as the creatures and Elysion were being frozen into dark pillars of crystal. The people who were tripping on their fancy gowns were sadly frozen in faces of terror. Aiyana and Helios ran as fast as they could with the other maidens to the temples. Quickly each temple had their priestess in it and the priestess' tried as hard as possible to make the dark beam stop.
From the roof of each temple a beam of light blasted through the dark sky hitting the dark beam. The light tried to swallow the dark beam but it took over. The temples' light beams slowly faded and died. The dark beam glimmered as it froze the temples and then freezing the rest of Elysion. Slowly the planet became quiet. None of the civilians were left unfrozen. All that were left were Aiyana and the other priestesses plus Helios. Aiyana looked at Helios and cried, "With all those years of peace, it is shattered by dark crystal. What will happen to us now? We have no way to talk to the other maidens and we cannot escape this place. Whoever is attacking why are they?"
Helios looked at her and whispered, "Nepherania."
"Nepherania, who is she. What does Elysion have she wants?"
"Nepherania is the darkness that follows the moon. She is the Dark Moon's Queen. And the truth is Elysion is hiding something from you and her."
"What have I not been told of Helios?"
"Elysion is the protecting planet of the Golden Crystal."
"Now that crystal has destroyed Elysion's beauty."
"But Aiyana if you only would think about this…"
"No I won't. What about our friends what is happening to them right now?"
"There is only one way to look and that is through the silver chamber."
Aiyana began to run as fast as she could towards the crystal mirrors that led to each temple. Aiyana thought hard about what was happening. Her friends needed her. Stopping right at one of the many mirrors she looked into it and touched it with her delicate finger. An image appeared of people on the ground unconscious. The image of all the other priestesses disappeared to reveal a woman with long black hair and silver eyes. The image grew until it was the size of Aiyana. The image was not an image but the real Nepherania coming through the mirror. If only Aiyana had removed her finger from the mirror then Nepherania would not of been able to get through the mirror. She grabbed Aiyana by the arm and began to drag her to where Helios was.
Throwing Aiyana to the wall behind Helios, Nepherania began to scream out to Helios, "Where is the golden crystal? Where have you hidden it?"
"I will tell you if you promised not to hurt Aiyana," Helios replied.
"I will do whatever you say," she said
Helios bowed his head, revealing a golden horn on his head. Aiyana began to scream to Helios no, but a strange web substance tied up her hands and mouth. The same substance began to tie up Helios. Helios began to run towards Aiyana trying to grasp her. Their hands interlocked for a minute, while the web coming from all the walls was tying them up more and more. They kept holding on to each other until a dark mirror appeared from behind Aiyana. The mirror began to suck up Aiyana. Aiyana let go of Helios only to end up stuck against the mirror. "Her dreams must contain the crystal of light, the Elysion Dream Crystal. Why does such a little girl have such a powerful crystal?" asked Neherania.
The pressure was getting to Aiyana. With a movement of Nepherania's hand, a mirror appeared from Aiyana. The mirror was gold. Aiyana's body began to sink into the dark mirror. Tears stained the floor. Helios began to scream for Aiyana. There was no answer. Aiyana couldn't respond back.
The web that Helios was on began to pull him to Nepherania. Nepherania began to walk towards the gold mirror, but the mirror disappeared before Nepherania could touch it. Nepherania didn't mind for now she had the golden crystal. But did that mirror have a second meaning?
