Chapter 4

Sharon's Point of view

Sharon's Secret

Somewhere in the Grand Canyon, there is a small cave entrance along side the wall. Almost no one knows of the secret, and the people who have ventured down the Grand Canyon mysteriously either disappear, or forget they ever saw the entrance. But today was special, a woman in a mysterious cloak went toward the edge of the canyon. She looked like she was about to jump.

"S'cuse me ma'am, better be careful near dee edge, don't wanna fall off, do ya?" The stranger asked her. Then, the mysterious woman raised her hand toward his face, but not touching him. The man suddenly acted gloomy, and almost lifeless, and walked back to the cabin built near the Canyon.

Without warning, the woman jumped off the cliff without a sound. A wary passenger saw the woman jump off, and he quickly looked over the cliff to see what happened. To his surprise she wasn't to be seen. He quickly forgot about her, and thought to himself that it was just a mirage.

Silently she made her way through the secret passage. She then balked, and looked upon a gigantic stone door. It was detailed with Dragons flying through the sky, and warriors on the ground fighting them. Behind them was a huge man, he looked like he might've been the Lord of the land they were fighting in.

The woman then pulled down her hood, and it revealed to be Sharon.

"Nepo." Sharon said, and the door opened. Sharon didn't proceed into what lies beyond the gate

"I have arrived Lord Nilrem." Sharon said.

"Do you have news of the Dragon Kin?" The voice spoke. It was as deep as the thunder, and as powerful as a raging storm.

"Yes, he is attending school with me." Sharon said. As she talked, she seemed as if someone else was controlling her, but it didn't bother the mysterious voice.

"Good, I want you to convince him that he is a friend of yours, and bring him here. If I am to rid myself of this prison, then I need his strength. Go now, and don't return without him!" It bellowed.

Sharon then put back on her hood, and disappeared out of the cave. Then out of the darkness, Mesmero appears. His dark marks on his face make him even more mysterious than his powers.

"Mesmero, not only have you failed to assist Apocalypse, you wish to assist me as well. What makes you believe you will succeed this time?" The Voice asked.

"Lord Nilrem, I have learn y past mistakes, and I am in great need of greater power if I am to accomplish my…personal tasks." Mesmero said.

"Very well, so why do you control the innocent Sharon?"

"Her power adds to my own, and if I am to control Thomas, I am to muster every bit of energy I possess."

"Is he that strong that you need countless others to control him?" The voice asked.

"More powerful than I anticipated, deception might be the smartest way to convince him, but I need other mutants if I am to control him just in case."

"Yes, very well. Go now! I need to prepare myself for my awakening." The huge door closed with a mighty blow, and Mesmero vanished without trace.
