Author's Announcement:
Whelp guys, chapter eleven of this story!
I wanted to re-arrange this story a lil bit as well as fix it up slightly.
Also I decided at least one more mate. You might be shocked as to when the chapters become the actually plot to say teen years to the girl, that it gets you guys to think: why didn't he did so with the others? Well I had my reasons of course. But for the time being I won't spoil anything more as such right now. But be prepared as to who said mate final decided mate it is in this chapter, as I plan to have Lucy have at least four HP based mates during the tourney. Though I felt like this specific dragon (hint) deserves justice to be used as such in stories, but I made her around the same; age wise as Lucy to make it more bonding time, unlike the true age as such in the game itself. Those that have indeed played the game, World of Warcraft ™ or have yet to look it up, know who this female drake personally is as Blizzard ™ has done poor justice I thought back then for said drake, even if it fit the style of the current expansion she was in.
So all in all, the current number of current mates Lucy has, plus four = Idk :P . I also have plans for certain Harry Potter Characters to have their own soul-mates or interests as well, besides the main four I picked out for Lucy.
As a bonus to make an announcement guys, not only I will be adding OC's to any of my stories but I want one thing from you all then: Your own OC's Ideas to bring to life! It is getting hard for me to make my own OC's atm, so if anyone of you want an OC in design as well as personality as such to be added to any of my four "current" stories, then please do so as I will add your account name at the beginning of the chapter as to whose suggestion came through of the OC in the stories.
I would also like to mention in this chapter, all of Lucy's Pokemon will be involved… well her Mewtwo (Zane), and the two others: Pamela (Lugia) and Denise (Kyurem) will be involved this time as well, as well as what is currently going on back on the turtle world with the other guys. But they would only be involved for a few moments though, but I plan later on in the future to add more of them more than they are, as well as the rest of Lucy's team.
I also like to state at the bottom I also have more things to say at the end of this chapter, nothing to serious but an opinion of maybe something "new or idea-based".
As usual: I do not own anything other than my ideas or plots within any of my stories, as well as any OC's I originally made. If I did however… Then Freddy Kruger would run from a new-type of nightmare that would involve Barney, Elmo, and the Teletubbies (Let's say it would be mind-torture to even to that dream demon, which Freddy is BTW). And it would be my OC, Lucy be the cause of said nightmare :P .

Secrets of Some Pasts Revealed; Sunset's Power Awakened and the Other Side of Lucy Now Free…
Lucy's POV; Her and the others is heading to a tower by riding a dragon, Azeroth:
I was still very cold, yet the warmth of the dragon herself, Alexstrasia I think her name was, let us ride her back since she saw my condition. Though I thought I saw familiarity also in her orbs when she saw my face.
I then felt even close to blacking out every time though, as well as the feeling I need to sleep, but my Mommy kept me awake each time I try to do so. Even I felt that I also needed to take-off my charm for now to keep me looking normal, I stubbornly decided; despite my situation as well, to keep it on.
Zane also went back into his ball to heal-up as well, since Grandpa's belt that had my team on them, would eventually yet normally heal-up within an hour or two after they return from a very dangerous battle; within thirty minutes however if they fought in a battle that was easy to normal, for them.
However Karai as well as Larxene were silent the entire ride, yet the older lady kept not only watching the area we flew since we were only on the boarder's in what they called this current area, the Dragon Wastes, but mostly at me in concern; in those cyan orbs of hers.
My Mommy however kept me close with her wings still wrapped around us both while we flew as my hearing was slightly better as they also didn't ring anymore now, but from earlier with my magic to which the dragon-lady told them I accidentally done for my Mommy, they had no choice but to accept the ride, as I didn't even hear what they said about me or them.
April was also flying with one of the few other drakes that showed-up that was just like the dragon-lady, Alexstrasia that is. As well as them carrying without difficulty, those vans that the Foot Clan had with them, and I also have my backpack next to me.
Mommy since we were near the top-part of Miss Alexstrasia's head, exclaimed as the way she was flying made the wind seem to make everyone forced to shout out loud; in order to hear anyone speaking, kept trying to warm me up as well in both of her arms, "Lucy is getting worse Alexstrasia, are we almost there?" I felt that Miss Alexstrasia was slightly annoyed yet understood as she rumbled in her chest with the dragon also replied back gently to Mommy, without looking; with her once again flapping her massive wings at least once, to continue flying, and her decorations moving slightly in the process, "We are getting close, Mother to the Child. In fact you can see the Tower of the Aspects, from here on out."
I barley saw what she was talking about, but I felt my Mommy was in minor awe, yet her main concern was my own form; I had to guess, as I once again tried to sleep.
Mommy once again after the seventh time, shook me awake, and in response I only slurred my speech; making her even more worried as this time I also failed slightly on staying awake mixed with partially succeeding this time. "Mommy, whys yous trying to keep me awak'?" I saw Mommy had a soft yet still worried look to her eyes and face as she softly replied, as she also gently still shook me only a little as she explained, "You need... You have to stay awake, Lucy. If you fall to sleep, it would be bad."
I mumbled something I couldn't recall as I didn't hear her shout now in fear mixed with worry, as I then passed out.
Normal POV:
Sunset was now inwardly panicking as Lucy finally passed out from the cold; fearing her daughter's life as Sunset knew from reading from the time she came to Lost Avalon… She was still getting used to Earth being called as such, Sunset Shimmer read about what Lucy was going through, and now knew there might be little to no chance of her waking up... unless something happens quickly.
Luckily to the entire group who saw Lucy's state now and the ones on the back of Alexstrasia, came over quickly as much as they could; without falling off the dragon as they were also now at the temple.
The temple itself was very tall, and seemed to be also made out of some ancient-looking material of sorts; mixed with the amount of ice and snow all around the area. It was also guarded by the same-type of dragons they encountered after arriving to this world by being kidnapped for another type of drake's conquest they theorized, despite Lucy's current condition she herself sadly placed herself into. There was also a gaping hole with a path they briefly all saw as they began to head to the top of said tower, and then landed gently without effort by the dragons themselves, though the drakes that carried the vans from Ninja City, took them to the lower levels.
Once safely onto the top of the tower, it would seem that two types of dragon-like humans that appeared to be talking amongst themselves.
One was a female that had purple-like skin with her eyes closed. She also had two white-ivory horns on the top of her head which was showing mid-back length flowing dark-green hair. She was also the same height as the male next to her, at being seven or eight foot in height. She mostly wore a leather-like dress that seemed to be also made for combat, and like the males, they didn't know what materials they were at all. She also had a good figure for her what she looked like (Night Elf), with little to no fat on her lithe yet slightly muscular form at all.
The male though was light-bronzed skinned and was mostly topless to show he too was very fit, yet he also had long, braided ginger hair and a goatee-like beard to match. He was also tattooed to seem to others as such, but really runes of sorts. He also wore robes around his waist in a design not familiar to the girls at all with shoes to match. As well as somewhat resembling the girl next to him with the ear's and had gem-like sapphire eyes (Blood Elf). Though like the female without opening her eyes to show a surprised look on her face at them, the male narrowed his eyes in return without saying anything.
Once Sunset who gently carried the unconscious Lucy in her arms; despite seeing the surprised looks on the two other girls faces as she easily carried her daughter still, and yet will be told later-on by someone as to why this was; as secretly the two dragons felt a familiar presence inside the teen girl. The dragon they were riding on; with April then landing and also softly thanked her dragon, who left with amusement from seeing wonder in her eyes before looking now at Lucy in concern and slight fear, left, glowed as she too became into what the other two were, a humanoid version of herself.
Alexstrasia was now eight feet in height yet was a darker-yet light mixed bronze-red skinned woman that seemed to resemble the other two with them at the moment. Alexstrasia also wore plated gear that did little to hide her curved yet fit and lithe figure as she also looked to be in her early twenties like the other two human-dragons. Her hair was surprisingly like April's in color, but a slight darker red with it also being silky and smooth, and only reached to back of her neck. Though she had the same dark-like horns she had as a dragon, were near the upper-sides of the woman's head, with golden rings like in her dragon form as well and she also had fire-like eyes that glowed. The gear she wore was also mostly colored a darker-red with gold lining, to make her also show she wore armored underwear to the blush of Sunset, and also wore a thin-dark-red cape of sorts that was also torn slightly at the bottom, and reached all the way to her kneecaps. So in terms of how she looks: her chest (slightly), stomach, arms, and legs (slightly) were in plain view, yet Alexstrasia also wore black-like bangles of sorts around both upper legs and in-between her upper-arms with plated gloves she wore also. Around the female's neck though was an opal-like jewel that was the size of a golf ball or two combined, yet it was wrapped around her neck in a dark-golden necklace, and was colored a light-red with it also being dulled slightly.
Alexstrasia without saying anything, quickly took Lucy out of Sunset's arms to her surprised look, and quickly motioned to the two others to quickly follow her as they also were surprised from seeing a hidden passageway now opened for stairs, going downwards showed. Larxene however was now cautious as the male looked to her for a few moments since she was the last to follow, yet now ignored her now as he went after the other two drakes.
Once they all followed Alexstrasia after a few moments, they came into a chamber, realizing this tower might be where they either truly lived, or temporally lived at, as it seemed it was rarely used at all.
The chamber as the red female drake gently placed Lucy down on a spare bed this room has, was warm yet plain to see. It seemed to be a chamber to place inured, or sick others down to rest as well as other things as they saw a baby dragon with an injured wing nearby who looked curiously at them before hiccup-breathing fire at the withered drapes, and a smaller dragon in the form of a little light-blue skinned human girl; that was in a nurse uniform simply rolled her eyes as she quickly blasted it with water out of nothing; possibly magic, as they wasn't sure since most of their concerns was on Lucy at this moment, from this average looking room.
The three drakes began channeling from what Sunset, April, and Larxene felt was pure-raw power from within them, at Lucy right now.
After a few minutes, they stopped with somewhat confused yet satisfied looks on their faces as the green-haired female then responded in a slight melodious voice that would be only heard of in dreams, spoke to them both now; knowing the four females were in the room yet decided to speak in front of them anyways. "Sister. It would seem that fortune smiles upon us as the child as well as those with the girl, I envisioned a while back, are here. Yet I am curious as to who the child used her power to send her own body-heat to one other, without meaning to?"
Alexstrasia only shook her head as she glanced right at Sunset, who assumed it was safe to come over, did so, as she got a small smile from the female as she spoke back to the greened haired/skinned female in reply, telling her name to them by accident, "Yes Ysera, even though you rarely open your eyes, you already went through her memories... Didn't you?" Alexstrasia slightly accused a little to her, making said female look a mixture of minor guilt with being sorry at the same time, and now shrugged sadly; making the other two curious as to why Ysera was currently sad at the moment.
Though the four girls knew as without looking; without opening her eyes, she nodded with knowing at the four, and then turned to the male now doing the same thing like Alexstrasia did with her with a raised eyebrow, seeing the male's eyes also twinkle a little as he now has his arms crossed in a deep-thinking pose. "Nozdormu, I take it you foreseen something for this child already?" He nodded firmly once as he also stated in a gentle toned voice, yet he spoke with untold power like the other two near him as well, looking at Lucy mainly while he did so, "Yes. I foresee a lot of things this child will go through; as plenty of challenges that both fate and destiny will play before this child. Even now as I think, she is while asleep within your domain sister," Norzdomu gazed now to Ysera, who also now looked concerned as him as she too also gazed to Lucy this time, as he simply continued, "She is facing a nightmare that our world is forcing her to witness. In due time though, she would share said nightmare; However it would be wise to not push it further then it needs to be, as at this moment... I feel that the Shadowed Ones that we have encountered recently, will come after this child if she isn't protected, as such."
Now that surprised the other two drakes as they gazed to the child.
It was then Sunset as she came over to Lucy, and quickly comforted her daughter since Lucy began to move slightly in fear, as well as shiver; placed a gentle hand into Lucy's. This made the dragons ponder briefly to themselves as Lucy now calmed as well as now slept peacefully yet still also showed a minor-like fear, in her clenched face.
The little blue girl then brought chairs to the other non-dragon females and the three dragons themselves, as they sat around the child; knowing the three did the best they could to heal the girl's unfortunate curse she placed upon herself, by accident.
Though if they told the apparent mother who also strangely resembles to that of a female dragon they once knew a long time ago that also mysteriously vanished into a vortex as well, a few decades or so ago, they felt by their instincts she would be upset at her daughter at this. Sensing quickly from when they easily broke the weak curse, that it was meant to keep her mother warm as she saw her cold; from what Ysera knew, but not the other two as of yet.
"Tell me Mother to… Lucy, how is it you came to be in this world of ours?" Asked Ysera knowing her elder sister would likely asked later on, but knew it needed to be done. With a sigh the girls told them, well mostly Sunset did as she didn't realize the surprised combined looked of Kristina as well as Larxene, who quickly excused herself after a near two-hour confession from the now hybrid-looking Sunset.
April sensing something from Larxene gave Sunset a silent look now as if to make sure said teen would be alright; as the three dragons when Sunset was done speaking, were now quietly talking to themselves as to what they think they should do as this was also not part of the reason as to why they originally came to the temple to discuss things for.
Sunset only nodded wordlessly as Karai decided along with Kristina to explore a bit and then eventually return as she knew her best-friend was currently stressed to the point at seeing her mate like this, and somehow in her gut as well as heart knew this might rarely, or sometimes happen at odd times. Knowing Lucy is a trouble magnet somehow, yet inwardly shrugged as the female ninja knew she had to teach the kid some moves as Karai has yet from what she recalled Aeroza stating, trained as such to control her own power.
But all four girls knew earlier as they saw Lucy going by instinct; it wasn't like her, as to what Lucy did.
April was now looking for the blonde female, somehow knowing Larxene must have been shocked to hear like her, even though April already knew some parts of Lucy's life already, was slightly guilty as for not being there for her cousin. Yet she knew if things were different then she wouldn't of met her Sensei, and her other friends, Donny also to which she didn't know she blushed by thinking of him, unknowingly.
Luckily April had not only the help of the crystal, but a few guards that understood her language that thankfully pointed to a direction that the blonde went, and she was pointed and was also told that Larxene was on the same floor; but on one of the many balconies this tower has. Once April got to the place Larxene headed off to, it was a good view of the entire land with to her hidden awe as well as Za-Nanon or the Aeon Crystal's spirit.
Dragons of a few varieties were flying around the temple as well as heading off to who knows where. She could even see other area's that not known to her as well as the others yet, shrines made for said dragons. Sitting on the edge however as said person she came to find was looking at the scenery before the both of them, was Larxene. April also saw she was holding a locket of sorts with a silver-like chain around her neck and it was opened.
April now coughed to get the female's attention, to which it did as the blonde made a silent gasp, and quickly closed while also hiding the locket back into the cloak she is wearing, and looked to her with a look. Though April was surprised to see Larxene's face had a few tear streaks that let the teen girl know the slightly yet close-to-age female, was crying to herself over what, April didn't know but simply smiled at her. Larxene however sighed as she stated to April now, a curious look taking place of the other while she now crossed her arms; speaking. "What do you want? It better be important as to scare me slightly, and causing my death as a result."
April sweat dropped briefly to her words before gently speaking to Larxene, making said female looking at her in slight suspicion with April at the same time, also rubbing the back of her neck hesitantly as well, "I thought I come over to see if you're ok… And judging by your face?" April simply gestured as she came over and then surprised the female, as she gently wiped her face of her leftover tears. Larxene seeing she now couldn't come-up with any excuse to cover it up since the Ex-Organization 13 Member did pride over herself slightly, over the years.
Larxene now sighed to herself and now to be looking in minor thought before simply gesturing herself now to let April know to sit next to her, and without words April did so.
Things were pure-silent for a few minutes as they stared at the scenery before them both until Larxene began to speak now; though it was more to herself then actually to April to which said teen, was now listening. "All my time as to what I also not done; Even before I was returned to life from being defeated... as a Nobody, I never expected Lucy to suffer that amount of abuse and pain." Larxene saw April's raised eyebrow at her as she seemed to be confused, and Larxene began explaining things to her now; looking away from April's face as to not see her reaction to her own words. "If I would have known... Despite for not only myself, but the others in the previous Organization we served under; I would of taken her out of that environment as well as fled the group with… With Axel."
April noticed Larxene seemed to be saddened by the male name she had to guess that came out of her mouth lastly, and somewhat knew from Sunset's Nobody, this might be the very same Larxene she saw as a Mother-Figure back then. But April was also curious as to what the young woman meant until her eyes widened briefly, at the next words that came out of Larxene's mouth. "Axel and I were secretly married by those we truly trusted and believed us from Xemnas; Our previous Leader's lies of us not having hearts. I knew as well as they did as if... The others that truly believed ever found-out, we would be killed off or imprisoned as such, by him. Though my choice to join Marluxia; the Graceful Assassin, wasn't my best choices I made as back then... I was slightly reckless, as well as headstrong. Even though I cared for my daughter that was given to me; Thank the Realm of Hearts, tried to stop me in secret of doing so. It's what eventually led to my own demise as a year later; I was brought back to life to only find out a lot of things, from Saïx himself."
Now April was slightly taken aback as Larxene had one of her fists now clenched slightly hard; with the teen also seeing tears began to form once again in her eyes, but never leaving her face as Larxene's voice held a mixture of both true rage and also sorrow, as she spoke now, "I found out my few friends I made thanks to Saïx himself, back then, were either sent back to their worlds without memory or worse, and my only friend before I met the others, Lily, was killed by what Fake Prophecy that Dumbledork managed to quickly form... To also cause a small war to break-out in the British Wizardry Community." Small tears were now falling down from her face once again, as April felt sorry for the young woman next to her since she kept speaking with a hint of surprise in her sobs, as April now wrapped her left-arm around the blonde's shoulders in a friendly gesture; as Larxene now finished, "I should of listened to my daughter's advice back then, and I would have been able to take Lucy away from Lost Avalon, and raised her the right way... like Lily... Lenora wa-wanted."
April was surprised as she knew from what she and the crystal sensed Larxene was indeed headstrong and prideful to not cry onto others, but what surprised the teen was that Larxene quickly made April to; with surprise, hold her as she now silently cried. April only held the blonde for a while as afterwards they now separated while Larxene now rubbed her now slightly-red eyes with her left-sleeve of her coat, and admitted in minor hesitance; mixed with being now bashful a little from her tone and looking away briefly from April, while she did so, "I didn't mean to cry like that. It's just... I never truly confessed to anyone as such before, slightly."
April now shrugged in response to her words and before she could utter anything from her own mouth, the two quickly turned to see a half-grinning Sunset Shimmer now leaning on the archway they came, to get to this area, and stated halfheartedly to them since they knew Sunset is currently worried and also saddened by Lucy's current state, the child herself placed her own problems in. "Sorry to interrupt you two, but I... I just felt I needed some air."
Larxene however looked at the teen girl with familiarity as she was also helped up by April; as they were now away from the edge with the blonde now crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow at her, sensing something familiar yet different from the strange-looking teen before her gaze now, "I have a few things to ask you right now."
Sunset nodded as if expecting this from what April saw from her posture somehow, and then Sunset just motioned with her right-hand kindly to Larxene to continue, "One: How long you been leaning there, in honesty?" In turn to her question, Sunset shrugged as she now stood and began to head over to them as she spoke as well, "Well I was here for the past ten minutes, and I heard everything." April then saw Larxene gave Sunset a look to that, to which she now looked sheepish while she wordlessly then, rubbed the back of her head for yet stopped as she now looked once again to Larxene; since Sunset turned away sheepishly as well. "Two: Why do you look like my daughter slightly?"
To this, Sunset now sighed in response as she now looked like she was caught in a hard place yet also knew it was coming; from what the two females saw on her face, mixed with the same emotions for her daughter Lucy as well as she then stated; making Larxene's eyes widen quickly in response to this, "Well… Stexuns is my Nobody... Who is back in Ninja City, I guess? Last time I saw your daughter, Larxene isn't it? She took a long nap after being enslaved for some time."
Both April and Sunset saw Larxene froze at this news of her daughter, and quickly made Sunset now 'Eep' slightly to herself at the sudden burst of speed as the Fromer Nobody now gripped her and also held Sunset against a random wall near the arch; her eyes firm now, as Larxene also firmly stated to the teen girl; despite her being her godchild's mother, "She was enslaved? Who did that to my Sunflower?" Sunset gulped as her throat was being constricted slightly and just couldn't form an answer, and it was April who answered for Sunset, making Larxene quickly drop the teen she was holding in shock now, and also gave her an apologetic look afterwards; to which Sunset shrugged back to as if, it wasn't a big deal, "From what I was told... Since Sunset was already told as such, Larxene, it was a twin to some guy named Orochimaru... or something, and she was handled by Xemnas himself, to the man. From what she states it was the same time frame as when you... died I guess, that happened."
Larxene sighed and she was about to ask something from what the two saw on her face until they all now blinked as a colorful yet chaotic portal showed itself at the edge of the balcony, and a familiar chaos spirit, Discord, made his appearance. He also came through with a few others now.
It was Rosa, Stexuns; who was still tired from her misplaced look as well as her hair, and to the other surprise, Maleficent with the three Sirens as well as another girl, Mia with them as well. Of course the three females sweat dropped as mostly all but both Discord and the fay-witch, were toppled amongst each other in a small pile; not by choice as it seems.
Discord chuckled as he spun rather quickly and was now dressed as a judge holding a sign that held the number ten as he also jokingly stated to the group on the ground, which was getting up now while he spoke as well as glaring at him. "I would give that landing a ten… for failing on coming out of a portal. That is, if I can truly do that." Maleficent only sighed as her companion; Davul came out last with the portal quickly closing behind the crow while it landed on her staff's gem-like orb.
Although the Sirens, Discord with his jaw literally touching the ground as in a cartoon, and the fay-witch looked surprised or stunned at seeing Sunset's new look, they were also curious as to what world they ended up heading to, as they; from what the three females saw, weren't expecting this as a result.
Adagio, looking carefully at the new Sunset slightly as Adagio also circled the teen girl, making her nervous for some reason as she then curiously asked with her sisters now standing beside Adagio while said Siren was in front of her, placing a hand to her chin in puzzlement and also curiosity that clearly shown from her face, "Do I want to know what occurred the entire time Sunset…" Adagio then noticed someone missing near her, to which Sunset suddenly looked guilty to the Siren's gaze, as well as to what the others saw, "And where is Lucy?"
When they were being led by a guard as per suggestion to not get lost at the temple now as well as Sunset's, Sunset as well as those that didn't know what mostly happened during Lucy's time away from them, were in many emotions as they came upon to a large chamber of sorts. It was easily huge enough to fit at least five dragons; from what Discord commented, at gazing the room along with them, not any of them knowing that this is a meeting room for said dragons, as well as a relaxation chamber... From time to time. Well one of many that is.
"Let me get this straight: Lucy is still our 'Lucy' that we all know and care for. Yet things happened a lot to her to not only change her form, in some way. Yet the moment before we got here, the dragons of this world aided Lucy; in which was caused by accidentally cursing herself, and is also currently sleeping?" Adagio stated/asked Sunset in finality as it took only seven minutes to get to the chamber, and almost an entire hour afterwards to finish. With each of them either sitting or standing in chairs, or the wall while listening.
Sunset meekly nodded in guilt; making Adagio noticed as she was sitting next to the girl, and her siblings were next to Mia and April as they talked random things; to which they ignored. Discord however was chatting away with Larxene; who was annoyed since Stexuns was pulled away by Maleficent earlier to discuss something, as well.
Adagio then gently rubbed Sunset's nearby arm as she was inwardly surprised her skin was slightly the same as before, yet more smooth like an actual reptiles. The Siren then softly replied as she didn't want to be heard, otherwise Discord would do something embarrassing as always, to Sunset with a half-accepted smile on her face, "I know none of this was any of your fault Sunset, but it was Lucy's choice by accidental means to do so. So you shouldn't be guilty at all, or have a reason to." Sunset shrugged as even those words did cheer her up slightly, she still felt guilty as from what Aeroza secretly told her, the cold would truly harm her unlike she handled before. Knowing this might be the true reason why Lucy accidentally allowed her magic as such to do this, to her; that is why she is truly guilty or feels, as such.
"I just hope Lucy would be alright though Adagio. In fact when you do see her, you will be surprised as things did happen to her as well as to us." Sunset now told Adagio, who only gave a raised eyebrow mixed with a questioned look to this, and Sunset now laughed only a little as she now responded, making the Siren herself now holding in her own laughter as she told her about her having "The Talk" with Lucy; with the aid of Karai, who was with Lucy still, and April who was currently talking about help with her powers by Discord as he seemed amused a little. In secret, while healing that is, April somehow heard Zane speak to her threw his device, and stated the same thing she was doing, as to Discord.
After a while of them talking, Sunset now asked Adagio with a curious look, as talking with the Siren felt…. good for the teenager hybrid for some reason; as if it was slowly yet surely making her happy, as well as unknown to her she had a light blush that also quickly faded away after. Unknown to Sunset, the same feeling was with Adagio as well as her having a strange yet warm-like feeling from her heart. "So what took you guys so long anyways? I know when Lucy wakes up; she will be glad to see you guys again"
Adagio then began to tell her their parts of them traveling to random worlds that was close to what Sunset told her that the world they will eventually head-back to for training Lucy, to the Sirens ire slightly, including them arriving at the Skylands, the Skylanders home world that is, and eventually Master Eon himself opened that very gateway and they came through.
Though the encounter was slightly funny when they landed, but eventually Aeroza filled in on them on some information and yet, not all things like Sunset told her. Eventually Discord came to the world as he can go to any one he wants as from his simple answer, a chaos entity. After a while however, Aeroza pin-pointed Lucy's location within a few short hours and she, and her siblings, along with Discord and a few others, readily volunteered to be first to head-out and find her.
Adagio though kept the involvement of a Hollow male, as well as a teen girl that hitch-hiked as it was settled by little-to-no choice, back at Aeroza's home-created world, and let's say that meeting was entertaining yet business like.
Adagio didn't also tell her though of the strange encounter they had before they could even begin to come over to this world... Azeroth she recalled Discord stated to his surprise, as they traveled via chaos portal he made for them.
The Elder Siren truly recalled it as it was only recent, yet it was a surprised affair to them all.
(Flashback Begins; World: Ninja City-?; Adagio's POV)
Aeroza, the smart-alack I know he is, simply tossed us all into a random gateway he made at Central Park, for us. Though he did say he had other work he had to do as he also sensed something was wrong with his other kids; of course making us not really surprised at this outcome really.
In fact I was suspicious, despite being my sisters and I, Maleficent and her bird servant, that one triplet I guess to Sunset Shimmer; with said girl being her former Nobody…. Whatever that term means, and two of the few of my nieces mates, Mia as well as Rosa, since we all were easily floating forwards through this portal not only Aeroza made, but Discord as well. Speaking of said entity, he was doing a backwards stroke as we casually kept going to who knows where.
The others were told to not go also, and when they asked or complained to the man, Aeroza only stated that too many at once, would cause a backlash and kill everyone instantly; quickly making them shut-up at this and they sighed to themselves, or grunted in disapproval at his words.
I also felt things will be slightly hectic while we left.
Though in secret, I also felt that Lucy having mates already was surprising to what Aeroza stated to us, in private, as well as seeing them in person. I also felt a strange… connection with Sunset for some time; After getting to know the former Unicorn, and yes she did tell me mostly of her past in private as Sunset also trusted me; for some odd reason as such, before eventually telling her friends later-on during the month with Lucy's healing.
The strange feelings that I never have even felt before at all since each time we encountered each other, my heart would speed-up slightly sometimes, and without her looking... I would blush when no one was around, and finally a feeling to see her as much as I can... But I do quench the last part down though.
Aeroza however only gave me a knowing look after I asked him that and just gave me a riddle to follow or solve, by myself of course: "I can start a war or end one. I can give you the strength of heroes or leave you powerless, I might be snared with a glance, but no force can compel me to stay; What am I? (1)" At the end I couldn't even figure that one out. Yet I knew the answer somewhere was on the tip of my tongue since I think I heard heard of it before and yet, I still had that very same riddle going through my mind, even now.
I was interrupted by my thoughts as mostly those that came with us, casually chatted while a few others only were silent; suddenly stopped as the neon-rainbow-colored portal from the powers of Discord aided with Aeroza as a result to what place we were going to get Lucy back from, quickly changed to a glowing-dull grey, black and white colors. We also stopped with us also still floating in the air as well as making all of us not only wary slightly, but some of us confused.
"Why did we stop guys? Isn't this a one-way trip to whatever we're going, to get my sister and niece back?" Stexuns asked us in minor confusion as well as being wary like the rest of us. I didn't know much of this girl's past, but I expected it might be familiar to me, for some reason or other.
I crossed my arms now in irritation as I wanted to aid Lucy as fast as possible, like the rest of us as I also saw Rosa and Mia twitch in minor annoyance of our stopping right now. I did take notice that Discord seem to be nervous slightly; from his right eye twitching, and also seeing my youngest sister shiver; making me widened my eyes at that obvious sign of hers.
It was never a good sign if she did that, without any cold-type of weather in the air.
We all suddenly froze up as a chilling laughter of sorts began to echo all around the current area. Discord as well as Maleficent quickly went in front of us, and her bird to my annoyance, decided to roost his clawed-feet on my left-shoulder. If I was dressed as such, I would be a pirate of sorts from the current position I was in right now. Though that minor quick-thought changed as we all then saw a few feet ahead of us, an icy-yet dark-like vortex open up, and we quickly all dropped in minor surprise yet still landed on all of our feet with ease, on a magically-placed landmass; I had to guess.
Then a cloaked figure that was all pitch-black yet I could also see hints of silver-like hair from the cloak's hood, now shown. That person was then followed by another cloaked person who was slightly shorter from the other's seven foot frame. It was tense silence now as we were now at a "Stand-Off" point, so to speak.
I did give a look to Aria, and she in return silently sighed and also nodded as Aria then grabbed Sonata and placed our youngest half-sibling behind her, making Sonata also confused as well as worried as she glanced like the rest of us, at the two strangers.
It was then the taller hooded male I assumed, from the deep-like tone of voice that seems… familiar to me as well as both my siblings, yet I saw Stexuns completely froze in feared shock; simply looking at the taller stranger in total fear with glazed eyes. Though while the male was speaking to the other, he had his cloaked head turned to the shorter person, who was from my estimate, 5'4 in height. "It would seem you bundled-up once again on vortex traveling, Kor'Noxis."
The other; Kor'Noxis merely shrugged back without words as if stating wordlessly not my fault, but glanced and simply motioned to us since it seems they weren't paying close attention to their surroundings, at all, and the taller person seemed intrigued at seeing Stexuns here as well as me and my sisters, from what I felt from the cloaked stare under his hood.
"It would seem the supposed child of my two… former employee's is here along with the other child's relatives, and such. This is truly interesting as we now cross paths… Earlier then I assumed we would be doing." The taller male stated to all of us, but mostly looked at me and Stexuns, when he spoke, and he also had his arms crossed while he gestured slightly, while doing so.
I felt on edge now as well as my niece's mates, as I slowly moved to my half-sisters as well as them, but what shocked us the most was a echoed banging from Maleficent's staff onto the magically-induced ground we were all standing on, making both men I assume, to look at her while she fully glared at them, and also tightening the grip on her staff, as to our surprise that even Discord also glared at them both now in both anger and slight annoyance on his face, and his arms also crossed. "Tell me this Nobody: How are you alive?" She demanded or stated to them.
It would seem that her words were for the taller person as the male simply chuckled in fake humor at her, and shrugged his shoulders and yet, he began to lower his hood (Not describing his look, you all should know who this person is. If not look it up on KH2 Game). The now revealed male smirked slightly to her now as he stated casually in that voice of his, now looking at me briefly before looking back to the fay-witch with him now saying as well as re-crossing his arms. "I was given a better… offer to say, by this newer yet more older organization then I concocted. Though, it was pity that some of my former members got resurrected as well; Despite them being remade back into their somebodies; Forced to be reborn anew once again as before, but made whole." He made a slight scowl on his face as if recalling something, but looked to me once again.
I glanced to a now-touching Stexuns as she carefully yet quickly grabbed me now on my left-arm, and began whimpering to her at the sight of this man. Yet when he spoke once again, I gulped in realization as well as those knowing that franchise our world has as a game; knowing that the Heartless and stuff was real, why not him as well, to know who this is as he also stated his name. "My true self was reborn as well this way, as well as the other I was part-of; Xehanort. Though what intrigued me: Xemnas, the Superior of the In-Between, as such is this: Why did I think to believe that you are going to a world that has the child we have been keeping an eye on, all her life in secret, for? To possibly better aid one of the Twelve Children of Harmony, perhaps?"
I sensed as well as the others the tension now in the air itself as Xemnas now sighed with a facepalm at the other man's antic's, as we were surprised he simply bounced in place; with him also gesturing to us, and Xemnas gave him a very firm look now that also made the man freeze in place and then said person now had dropped shoulder's in slight disappointment from his words now, "No. We are not here to fight. We still have a meeting to go to as well as a slight mission of sorts my… Leader wants done from me personally." He then looked at me with a smirk now on his face, and I suddenly gasped as I quickly clenched my heart, making the others looking at me in quick worry, and the fay-witch and Discord look to me now, in shock.
A dark-like aura began to form all around not only my frame, but quickly spreading to my half-sisters as they too clutched their chests at where our hearts are. Xemnas then merely grinned as with a simple hand-motion, that aura quickly drew-out of us, and formed into three, orb-like spheres made from that aura itself, and quickly flew to him in a minor circle. Xemnas then made another motion as if to dismiss them quickly, and all three were then sent away to who knows where but a smaller pearl-like orb was left behind.
The man now has a calm yet basic look, but in his eyes was slight satisfaction as he then stated to himself then, slightly loud; purposely telling us as such. "Such as the man described to me; My one of many newfound powers to create out of darkness, is proving... very amusing to me now. Yet even though I feel my own heart beating with me, I have yet to truly express my own emotions as such. Pity."
Xemnas now chuckled in fake humor once again to all of us as the sudden pain that was made from that was now slowly subsiding from not only me, but my two half-sisters as we mostly glared at him in minor anger mixed with both worry, and also confusion as to what he just done to us. Yet before we realized as to what he did, as we decided afterwards to ignore it for now, it would bite us in the end as we return as well as the band event did decide to start.
"I would stay and have my way with you all; but as sadly to myself once more, I have to leave you all at this moment. But know this," as Xemnas spoke, he conjured a tainted dark-like vortex as the shorter male quickly went in without problems, and walking to it when he finished speaking, "I never live myself down if I didn't pass a message to you. Due tell the King of Balance himself, from the one I serve under as of now: I have all but five children left remaining now brother. Yet I am waiting my time as they are not ready to gather, but I will… test them all soon; But not now, as the game has only begun."
I shivered as well as the rest of us, but the fay-witch seemed firm on her posture, but her eyes held another story I couldn't quite see as well as Discord's, as if they knew that meaning all too well.
Once Xemnas was gone, and the vortex also with him, the area changed back to what it was originally.
We were all suddenly without warning: shoved quickly faster than we were before ending up our current predicament, at the end of the portal.
(Flashback Ends; Normal POV)
Adagio shook her head now from the Siren's own thoughts as they all came to a chamber of sorts; the very same chamber for meetings as well as relaxing as before. Though the Siren did glance at Stexuns as she clearly knew that she was still shaken to her core from the man, Xemnas, yet knew eventually they had to tell the others of their brief encounter.
Sunset noticed Adagio looking to her now as if to say something, and before she could even ask what is it or what is wrong, one of the three dragons they met now came into the room. It was Alexstrasia herself who only paused at her steps in minor surprise from her blinking her eyelids confusedly to everyone new here before stating her words to them all, "Well now. It would seem we have more company then we did before, and I take it," Alexstrasia looked to both Maleficent and Discord while addressing the new comers with her arms crossed, her posture also stating Alexstrasia's unexpected surprise at them showing-up here as well slightly mixed with being kindly firm at the same time, "That they are here for the same reason for the child I presume, who is now awake?"
That final words of the dragon's quickly made all of them do double take to her, a little, but what secretly amused as Alexstrasia discreetly sniffed the area she is currently within were the emotions, and knew how important this now bigger group the child in the other room, was.
Despite the child not showing her true age, the dragons were instantly able to tell it was indeed a little girl and not one who appears to be between the ages of twelve to fourteen in human years. She even secretly knew her as she smelled something familiar; from who she might suspect her two parents are to be, as well as she smelled the same type of family-based stench on the three girls she sees slightly, next to the girl's adopted mother; as kin to the child.
The other's Alexstrasia knew must be somehow involved as well, but she also sensed from the three specifically same-type yet differently looking teen girls, she guessed inwardly to herself now, as she was also amused at the same time of the silence now in the chamber, were not human like the few others. Well, despite Arthas, AKA The Lich King's own threats for the mortals of this world, I did ask for a sign of aid to help us to the upcoming fights ahead. Especially a while back to what my younger sibling sensed as well, has yet to come.
It was still silence now until everyone froze from hearing a familiar scream along with two certain drakes now, was then heard. Without words as they were all suddenly worried, including all three Sirens and Sunset, followed quickly the red dragon to where they moved the child to a better rest.
What they found they all looked dumbly at, as it was Lucy who was awake yet had her eyes clenched shut in slight fear with Ysera holding the girl, and a black-like indent of a person was on one of the walls, completely charred but not there; making a cartoon impression of whoever was there, somehow got quickly caught at something or other, and like it was said: a cartoonish burnt mark on the stonework, itself.
They also noticed the bronze drake, Nozdormu, as he was looking annoyed yet sighed in relief with him also relaxing his fighting stance. The room they were in was like a large room for a public place yet they saw nothing but comfort-like items to settle others down from stress or whatever more to relax certain patients or allies (like a recreational area but without the fancy stuff, but mostly furniture but less, and some paintings).
Alexstrasia looked at her two siblings in concern as well as deadpanned to them at the same time while also asking with her arms now crossed as well as gesturing with her left-clawed-hand slightly at the spot, "Do I need to say or ask?" Ysera said nothing as she calmly without opening her eyes shook her head no to her, but Nozdormu only sighed and stated plainly to her, looking at the other's with his gem-like eyes in slight interest; to see that the group grew, "No sister. But the threat was only minor as it was one of those things reported by the Kirin Tor a while back, spying in on us. One of those Shadowed Ones they dubbed them as such, spying for some reason."
He did gesture to the Lucy though in Ysera's arms who seemed calmed now, if her tail was stating the obvious as it slowly waved back and forth now with her pattering the child's back, "Though it would seem my methods slightly scared the child; Only minor at that, dear sister."
Alexstrasia only nodded without words as indeed reports around the globe of Azeroth have been not only getting minor to basic reports of these… Shadowed Ones showing up at random times, but also the Silver Ones as well. She has her own theories as such to this, but kept it to herself for the time being as Alexstrasia saw some hesitance from the others to approach Lucy; the child's name if she recalls right, and now sighed with her stating the obvious; since she also smelled the scent of the child recognizing them right away, "It would be wise for now that is, to allow her kin to remain as such, and the others to visit afterwards as she wouldn't tell us what woke her up in fright, at all."
It was obvious they didn't know that, but it was quickly settled as it was now just April, Larxene, the three Sirens, and Sunset as the others were led for a tour of the temple. It was meant to give the current others time to bond with the child the three dragon's sensed, but they knew eventually certain things need to be addressed eventually.
It was Sunset who now held the awaken Lucy in her own arms as she even surprised the drakes themselves; Alexstrasia and Ysera, that she purrs like a cat of sorts by either a specific spot of her head rubbed or her own tail, but it was mostly pure silence as the family; they, the two dragon aspects were only there to observe or otherwise speak, when the time calls for it.
Sunset Shimmer as well as Adagio for some time comforted Lucy as they also had minor blushes when they accidentally touched hands while comforting the child, in Sunset's arms. The others already knew what might be going on as they kept it to themselves; as they decided let nature of sorts, take its course for the two. But it would seem right now finally that Lucy was calm and Sunset made some movement, as she stated gently to Lucy; who in turn looked to her mother as she did so. "You alright now Lucy?" Sunset asked her, who nodded slightly without words.
Larxene seemed to be out of place as April only now nudged the blonde as they currently stood next to each other, who gave her a really look but mixed with her truly being hesitance to do what she meant without words, and from the teen's firm-like glare to the blonde, she sighed and slowly approached the two parent-figures in Lucy's life she saw as clear as day, and grabbed a chair while also sitting down from another chair offered, as earlier they were given compatible ones to sit down as such.
Sunset as she was curious over the female, seeing how Larxene done in battle wanted to ask something, but instead of the one question she wanted to ask the blonde woman, she asked differently; as Sunset saw the slight emotion's in the blonde's eyes. "Are you ok?" Larxene gave the mother of Lucy a look, yet sighed as she stated to Sunset or more to herself from what the current females in the room can tell, "Yes. Just was reminded earlier of certain… topics as well as glad to see my kid was alright."
Sunset merely nodded as she knew the conversation earlier between Larxene and April was personal, but felt glad slightly that she saw her daughter was indeed ok. Aria and Sonata seemed confused as well as Adagio, but from April's firm look to them now with her arms also crossed, made them think about it later as eventually they would be told, but at this time it isn't the best to do so.
However they all noticed that Kristina or Shinigami, wasn't there and they were told that she asked for a chance to head-off to somewhere and be back on the morrow, as she felt a connection of sorts, or a strange pull to which earlier she was granted, and with an escort by a bronze drake named Chromie, left till later on tomorrow she would return. Karai also decided to take a nap nearby as she was tired from what happened with current events. From what they all were told.
Although Adagio was curious as she asked Larxene, with Lucy also looking at them both with interest now with her tail currently curled around Sunset's arms, with said Siren had her arms on her lap at the same time now, "Whose kid are you talking about right now?" It made them briefly surprised as Sunset only stated a name to Adagio; before Larxene could, "Stexuns."
From the quick look from Larxene's face it would seem that it would be something worthwhile to listen towards, but for now they dropped it as Alexstrasia finally commented something, making all the females now look to her as well as Lucy, with the child now tilting her head cutely as a result. "I think it is time we get to know one another better later on, and maybe discuss as to how you all came to be at our temple, at last?"
Though Lucy was content as to her mother and her soon-to-be mommy; but-currently-aunt, rubbing her head and tail, they talked as to how they gotten here at least, from their points of views. It took at least an hour or so to tell them mostly everything, but the two female drakes were stunned as they now realized who the child was.
The two dragon's personally knew the child's true mother as she came to their part of the world by accidental means at first, before being told of what eventually led her to some interesting parts of not only Lily's life, but her friends as well. Especially knowing whose grandchild she is to Lily as she was also Aeroza's daughter via by that spell, placed in her other life as a Siren.
For you see everyone, it was during the dubbed dragon that betrayed them all's time, Deathwing during the time of regaining their powers from the Dragon Soul, that he interfered and made sure that it was quickly altered by his own power to have them and any of theirs or all of it at least to once again use it. Though he didn't get a chance to deal with the former Earth Aspect to the drakes, but made sure the Well of Eternity was purified slightly a day later, once things settled.
Not known to them a certain Night Elf did take some of the waters before he did so; to the surprise of the Priestess of the Moon and her husband; Tyrande Whisperwind and Malfurion Stormrage. Though in secret with Lily, they made a pact with the young teen back then, and decided that they would; to her reluctance of course, have their child no matter the gender, be mated to each other by a magical-binding oath they took as well as being part of the first time ever, a part of being a Human-Relation Dragon Aspect, or part of their kind; but not truly.
Of course they were surprised as they knew time worked differently in the worlds to which Aeroza made a sworn oath by them all to not say, unless given an opportunity to truly do so as such, but knew the consequences of any enemy finding out as such as well, would be very bad for said worlds they would be able to head to.
It would seem our Magical Oath the child's mother and I made is in effect slightly, as I can also feel my younger child; my daughter, coming within a fortnight to figure out why she feels a strange pull from our mother-daughter connection to Lily's child. Alexstrasia now thought to herself without flinching from the very pull itself as well as true confusion to her daughter's. Though she decided to change the subject now as they both learned; her and her younger sibling, of what occurred in which she was also inwardly raging as well as Alexstrasia, from what she briefly glanced at; as it takes a lot to truly anger a drake as such as Ysera.
"Well, as things stand: You and any of you involved with family, or friendly terms with Lucy Potter... Are more than welcomed by the drakes, and as Queen of the Dragonflight I declare it as such." Alexstrasia inwardly seemed amused yet kept a neutral expression on seeing the dumbfounded looks on the teen's and Larxene's faces, yet Lucy only seemed to be confused yet also had stars as if, she was a cartoon; in her eyes as they twinkled at her at the same time, and Lucy's head was still tilted slightly to make her still look cute; despite Lucy looking older then she is as the child somehow, and making it work anyways.
"You are a Queen?" Exclaimed Sonata all of a sudden with twinkling eyes, making her two sisters now deadpan to her in a mixture of why or really, before Aria quickly grabbed Sonata's right-earlobe, making said younger Siren began complaining to her as they both discreetly headed to a random corner to discuss something once again, to each other.
Ysera only seemed amused as well as despite the still neutral face, Alexstrasia was as well as they began to fight over something random now, and Adagio facepalmed to herself as if this was a common occurrence, yet Lucy seemed to be amused as she began to lightly giggle to herself at her two aunt's antics.
Though now it was annoying as the two has been arguing after seven minutes straight, until Larxene grew a tick-mark and then suddenly blasted the two with a weak yet strong Thunder Spell, on them both. The results were both of their hairs standing on end; making Lucy laugh this time at her aunts who only glared at Larxene, as she was not only smug at doing that, but making Lucy laugh at the same time since she did think it was funny as well, from the current stand-up hairstyle, they had.
Alexstrasia though coughed into her claw-like left-hand as that got everyone's attention quickly as she then also stated kindly yet firmly with a small smile on her features, mostly her eyes trained on Lucy before looking at them all. "As amusing as to one's hair being standing upwards, I think it is time we go to someplace soon. So within a few hours: You all will meet the mortal leaders of two factions: The Horde, and The Alliance. They would be just coming back from a tournament on neutral grounds as such, for the Argent Crusade; From what I told the holy knights dubbed themselves. So in the time being-" The Queen of the Dragonflight was quickly interrupted as the closed door was slammed opened without a sound, as this move made them all jump yet her, Alexstrasia, looked at said girl in a mixture of really with an urge to facepalm herself, and Ysera only chuckled lightly at the girl's antics.
The girl in question seemed to be like Lucy in body-type yet they all felt besides the dragon, was that the girl they were seeing was also the same or current age as Lucy. She had auburn colored hair that was up to her shoulders, with the same height as Lucy but a smaller chest to be at least a regular C-Cup size. The girl also had the same skin-tone for some reason that matches Alexstrasia, but her eyes were an aquamarine color inside with an amber outline, and her pupil was slit as well. Her ears were also despite her looking like a human girl, was edged slightly like the said characters from the Zelda ™ games or those manakete people from the Fire Emblem ™ series, and she also had small black-pearl like studs in each of her earlobes. Though the girl also wore mostly a priestess outfit that did show the girls curves, but not in an inappropriate way of course, and sandals on her feet. Though her arms and her stomach did show; including her legs slightly as she moved around, and the bottom part of the robe was only up to her knees. The robe's itself was in a design not known to everyone, so they couldn't figure it out at all as such.
The girl was now panting as if she either ran very fast, or known from the look Alexstrasia gave the young girl, she must have flown.
Alexstrasia also had a familiar look seen on Sunset's with Lucy as she now approached the girl with them being stunned by what the Queen now said, as she also greeted the girl; with Alexstrasia giving the child a hug. "My youngest daughter It is nice of you to show. I have a feeling as to why that is though, as you were on an assignment with the older arcane drake, Kalecgos, am I correct Keristrasza?" The girl, Keristrasza only nodded half-tired yet mixed with curiosity from the current people she saw in the room as well as her aunt, but froze slightly as her and Lucy gazed at each other.
Now seeing what is now happening, Sunset as well as the Sirens began groaning yet April seemed a mixture of that as well as amusement with Larxene; not knowing how many in total her godchild has as such, for mates. Alexstrasia only hugged her daughter even more as in turn, Keristrasza, only made a slight gasp in surprise before her eyes widen at her mother's words, and her aunt only looked to her in slight support mixed with being amused from her look to her. Though what the Queen also stated stunned Lucy's family, but made Lucy look to Alexstrasia now in slight remembrance a tiny amount… but not quite everything. "My Keri, you finally found the one I bonded you with back then by this child's mother; My other friend of the humans I made, so long ago."
"Wait… You set-up something between my elder sister and yourself, a while back?" Adagio now questioned Alexstrasia firmly, as of right now she doesn't care if Adagio also sounded rude, she wanted as well from her half-sister's and the other's faces, to know as to why this happened.
Keristrasza though now gulped in her mother's arm at how rude Adagio been on her question from the tone she used. Though she was quickly surprised as her mother began to chuckle, and then laugh as if, this wasn't a big deal and now turned while she began walking with her daughter to them; now standing in front of them as she replied as if, it was a matter-of-fact kind of way, "Yes we did. As back then, your sister I can now tell by your scents, aided our world long ago. And yes my kin and I swore an oath as well by the man named Aeroza, to not reveal anything as such, but within two specific reasons we could do so."
The Queen saw her daughter looked to her curiously as well as Lucy at the same time, but her daughter before that blushed at Lucy unknowingly yet acted like a child of course, from her only being eight in mortal years, as she was a half-breed by someone she even couldn't recall, or had been messed with to lose said person's memory. Alexstrasia also recalled a pitch-black haired mortal that could use magic and also had onyx-like eyes with a goatee, but not his entire name as such. But the other's she recalled slightly but only Lily she truly remembered because of the magical oath they made for their children.
The other reason as her daughter being a half-breed is that the man wasn't a drake in disguise, but a mortal from Lily's realm or world, Lost Avalon. As such from what she was told by an elder drake who recently passed away two years ago, was that she would age mortally until Keristrasza reached to the age of either twenty or twenty-three years and then start aging like a dragon would.
Though not known to her, said man is being locked away in a prison for a crime he didn't even commit this entire time in said world, and said man also sneezed as he softly muttered in his sleep; in the black/white striped prison robes he wore, "Someone must be talking about me."
Alexstrasia began explaining to them now.
From what the Queen told them is that Aeroza came to their world a long time ago and aided them in a war that was recorded yet kept secret from most mortals as it involved the Shadowed Ones with them facing against a Shadowed-Drake that rarely happens as such. It was also a male drake by the name or was once by the name of Corvalagos but was then changed to simply Madras, the Corrupt, after he became what he was known for. Aeroza also aided their kind more with Lily's friends and said female herself by their own help at the Well of Eternity, as well as other future event's for the Dragonflight itself. Though not much was known as to how the drake even became as such as he was, but Madras was from the Blue Dragonflight and made his own from the darkness; as he also used forbidden magic to do so.
After the Queen finished, they understood as during that time, the others came into the room and seemed highly amused as Lucy got another mate out of all of this, once again. But since it was now late as she also told some parts of her past as well as Ysera telling hers; as well for Lucy to her about her mother's tasks she done, it was near nightfall.
"It would seem that the leaders are currently late as such… Well the two that are coming to speak as such to me, from what I was told that is, as well as another neutral faction, the Kirin Tor. So for the night," Alexstrasia gestured with also seeing both children; Lucy and her daughter yawn as they currently were lying next to each other, and Rosa with Mia as well as sometimes storytelling knocks her out like her cousin's other habit sometimes, from long speeches from one of her friends or someone too knowledgeable.
Sunset seemed amused as so the Sirens, as well as the others as they were now being shown to their rooms.
Though most were lucky to not share a room, but Aria and Sonata had to share a room with April. But two certain others as well to another minor blush, as there was only one bed though in theirs to their dismay had to share regardless, and it was both Sunset and Adagio. Discord seemed to be very interested as he sensed a slow yet strong bond form between the two, yet they were completely clueless as to their own feelings, in turn made this funny as well as both Aria since she already knew and Maleficent.
Karai, Discord, and Maleficent though were lucky to not share a room though; as if they did they would have to watch Karai sleepwalk as she tends to lock her room up in order to remain where the teen was. It was a bad habit she had discovered lately all on her own for a few weeks or so. Let's just say her body is really in tuned to her fighting style as well if she encounter's others in said room, and leave it at that.
Larxene was also given a room, but she stated she would be alright for the moment; not knowing she was going to the same balcony once again to clear her mind, and then eventually since Larxene has a keen memory, to head back to her own chamber given to the Former Nobody.
If your all wondering all this time on Nefertina, then she is still knocked out yet now in a hospice wing the dragons have as such, as well as to keep track as they know she would awaken soon. After her gem appearing in said Dragon Queen's hands that is, and when placed onto a random yet comfy bed, was quickly appearing with a small cloud mixed with a poof noise, to reveal said person.
Alexstrasia then told them she would stay up for a little more, since Ysera was within the Emerald Dream; for an emergency by one of her dragons, and wasn't at all tired at the moment. So she would be instead of her own chambers for the night, be with the two children and Lucy's mates that are currently here. She also in secret, Alexstrasia's telling of her entire time partially with Lily… Brought up a lot of not only good as well as bad memories, but some things the mortal female has done for her as well.
Also finding out she even risked her own life for Lucy's welfare from someone that they called Voldi-shorts or Vold-a-mart, she wasn't clearly sure of how or the why that came to be, but she felt as Alexstrasia from her leaning-wall position now looked again at Lucy as she was amused once again seeing Lily's daughter purr as such from earlier that day, knew that she owes the child as such by telling of her mother's time here.
She was brought out of her fond memories after a few minutes of solitude, by a feminine cough she quickly turned to, and saw it was Maleficent. The fay-witch wordlessly gestured besides the Queen, who felt there was no harm at all as she only nodded a yes, and using the staff to walk around still, the fay-witch now leaned against the same wall like Alexstrasia but still had her staff in her hand.
It was silence for a few moments until Maleficent spoke first to start a conversation now, briefly looking at the Queen at the same time while doing so, "So if what might be true, then you knew Lily like I have perhaps, Queen of the Dragonflight?" Alexstrasia gave Maleficent a neutral look to that, but her eyes shown she understood her meaning since she smelt her longtime friend on the fay-witch's scent; as unlike the rumors, dragons can smell if they get the scent of the person, who or what they might have been involved with, on any person or creature.
"Yes. Despite as to that we have Lily, or Lenora as she told me as well from what I sensed you already knew like I, I can also tell you are part dragon as well?" The Queen questioned at the end to the fay-witch, who in turn only shrugged as if it was common knowledge, and gave Alexstrasia a small smile with her eyes briefly glazed as if seeing a memory or two pass over her orbs, with her face now in minor amusement. "Yes you are correct. As back then I didn't even have a dragon-like form until Lenora herself made me a potion of sorts that also allowed me to view my… Inner Animal, so to speak. Though Lily was surprised to seeing a huge, black dragon with glowing green eyes hissing at her in laughter back then." The fay-witch now frowned to which Alexstrasia saw as well as also seeing Maleficent gripping her staff slightly hard before relaxing, as the next words she chose made the Queen confused at least. "I have been getting my memories back; but only in small amounts, as I have to take an elixir of sorts to remove the blocks the old fool placed on me." Maleficent then explained as she glanced at Lucy and the other girls with them; to make sure they were still deep sleeping, what she means as well as other things.
Needless to say folks, this inwardly pissed the Queen of the Dragonflight inwardly but also a mixture of sympathy to those that were involved from the old foolish male's spell he used, as well as other things to get his way. In secret though she had an idea to herself, and would seek console with her siblings if it would be a wise one to do, also knowing they may send some of their own kind as such like she would. Probably declaring her daughter to be an ambassador to Lucy's world as well as find a suitable landscape to inhabit for their kind, to reside in said world. Maybe by offering a few things from this one to Lost Avalon as a peace offering; knowing how the wizards and witches from what Lily told as such back then, were to what she thought, dimwitted slightly at that on simple things.
Alexstrasia now looked to the group of girls with Lucy and her daughter; somewhat satisfied they didn't do anything as Lucy's true age she smelled or known by Alexstrasia's siblings when checking the girl out with a revealing spell. She stated while looking at her daughter mostly now with a slight warm smile on her face, with the fay-witch agreeing with her, though this was also a minor confession to which Maleficent took notice yet decided to look into it later. "Lenora knew someday that her child will be loved by family eventually and even find love later on her own as she dreamt it. Though I will think of what I can do later-on that might keep her memory alive and happy, Maleficent." She turned to look at the fay-witch at the last part with a look of determination on Alexstrasia's face then.
The fay-witch merely nodded in agreement once again to the Dragon Queen's own words before stating anything else, now changing the subject to what she thinks might be sudden news to the Queen, to which it was from the sudden look she gave maleficent. "Though I felt that the Heartless, the ones your race has called the Shadowed Ones, are in random places all around your world… Azeroth correct?" Alexstrasia merely nodded yet let Maleficent continue as she gazed at a certain direction with a firm look on her face now, "I feel that whoever is summoning them, might be in league now with someone that involves with the dead."
Maleficent now raised an eyebrow at Alexstrasia's shocked look on her face, and her posture stiffened as a result to her own words to the Queen, and curiously asked yet somehow dreading the answer for some reason, to which she placed that very feeling away for now, "You perhaps know who I am speaking as such, Alexstrasia?" Now it was her turn to be surprised as she quickly filed this information away. Thinking of telling the others later on when they had free time.
What she told the fay-witch was that a former paladin and heir to a now former city of humans; that is also now run by a former banshee he turned from a High-Elven Ranger by the name of Sylvanas Windrunner, as well as to what she mentioned as well. It was a man that is currently known as the Lich King: Arthas.
From what she was also told, the story held sympathetic points as well as other things, but from what she told her of another enemy…. Well a few of them which includes to the two names: The Legion, and the Corrupted Time Drakes or as such by their race terms they dubbed them as, has gotten involved only slightly after another enemy the champions of this world sadly killed, which made Maleficent curious over, slain and also his body imprisoned along with a few others, known as Demon Hunters at a place they dubbed the Broken Shore. But she felt that for some reason, she will need to head to this… Prison that kept the Demon Hunters at bay by the Night Elf faction: The Wardens before she left. A strange feeling she supposes or a pull that is.
Currently it was late now as the two noticed, and decided to call it a night.
Though what they both didn't know as later on the next day with the three leader's chosen that they sent to the temple to discuss the topic of Arthas's demise to yet come soon, things will change for the world. For both the better, and also the worse from then on.
Ninja City; within the Turtle's Lair:
As things were going slightly well back on Azeroth, things back at the lair were slightly off at best.
Shredder and his minions retreated for now as well as the dragons, but the Kraang suddenly attacked afterwards. It was as if they expected it after the group dealt with the Fel-Balrog. Though surprisingly a minor truce was formed by Shredder and Splinter once they met-up later that day; at a neutral location, to deal with the dragons and then the truce will be over.
But the agreement that was best kept over was that no harm will come to anyone involved by their own group as well as theirs, and a refusal to reveal the location of the turtle's base. Though to Shredder's dismay, Aeroza made sure it was a written yet cannot be broken by a Magically-Induced-Contract to make sure it was kept as true, knowing the Shredder's personality a bit.
At the current moment within the lair though, Amy Rose as well as the others were preparing on, as when Lucy and the others did somehow indeed come back; as well as training or free time, after said training within the Dojo this lair has by the gracious permission of Splinter as he knew a battle might be coming later on, in this world. In fact the Rat Sensei was also training those that don't know how to fight as well, like Lille and a few others in defense-based moves.
Aeroza however was looking to what random world he now sensed his one of two granddaughters was placed at, and knew with relief he felt the other group that went… freely in his terms, to said world to better aid or defend Lucy as such. Though the alternate version of that world he knew personally, was under attack by three certain groups at the moment, but he also sensed a fourth will make an appearance to a long-time ally-turned enemy, from long ago. He already dealt with the counterpart of said dragon in Rosalina's world recently as well, well from his past self-explaining to him.
The man also knew he can be at any time he wants, which he rarely used as such as it is confusing to others if they find out of this; of one of many powers he has, but he needed to use this rarely used power to make sure his current focus was on Lucy at the moment, and make a gateway back in case of emergency. Despite him also caring about all of those that is kin, to the man's eyes.
He was interrupted as he now finished a spell to do just that by a minor flash of light within his chambers, to which he sighed as he turned around and saw one of few half-siblings that survived all this time, now looking at him warmly.
She currently wore some armor that slightly resembles his, but she easily stood by at least 6'2 in height with no fat at all on her form, since her stomach, arms, and legs shown as well as some part of her large cleavage; since she was mostly feminine mixed with being an amazon slightly in form, to which her mother was one. In fact the armor itself reminds others of female gladiators mixed with his, but the two animals represented on the left was a snake, and on the right a bear. His half-sister also wore a crown made of silver with ruby gems around it, and in the middle a purple-like opal of sorts in the center. Her eyes were different then his though, even if she has the bloodline activated ever since she was fourteen years old, were clear bronze-colored with the pupil being a light-blue as the sky itself. She also has a decent face with a small nose, and yet her delicate face has a small cut-like slash on her right-eye like his left-one, and a few scars on her arms. She also had the same hair color as him, but with dark blue highlights mixed in. Also in her right-hand, a staff of sorts that seemed to be made of ivory with pure silver and gold, and etched runes carved into the wooden parts with ease. But in reality she was just sixteen despite her looking at least twenty-three years old.
She now spoke softly yet clearly to him in a velvety yet young woman's voice, now coming over to hug him as he did in turn as well, "Brother, it has been a long while since I last seen you." He in turn gave her a half-smile as despite seeing one of his younger siblings once again, knowing she was on a four month mission a while ago to retrain herself after awakening from a chamber he eventually found her in; he then stated in warmth now clearly being shown from his voice. "Yes, it has been at least four or so months since we last encountered each other sister. In fact Denara was looking forwards to meeting you since I told who was left alive, of our family."
This in turn shocked her now in both surprise and sudden excitement, as she pulled away briefly as she also showed it on her face, "Denara was freed brother? When was this?" "Some time ago," he began as Aeroza also revealed her name as well while he spoke, "Yet Trinity, she aided one of the many nieces you have back then as well as training her as we speak to better control her powers, Jade Chan. You also have yet to meet your two-Great Nieces yet as well." Now Aeroza got an intrigued look by his half-sister, Trinity Permona Vontrillizo, and began telling her everything he knew of both Rosalina and also Lucy, since his chambers is time-managed enough to do so.
After he was done, she was showing a mixture of emotions, one of them was rage to those that tormented her two yet-to-be-introduced-to-her great-nieces, as well as a few other things. Though Trinity was also surprised as them also having mates already at their age as she decided to voice her opinion since Aeroza mentioned her one great-niece, Lucy, being sent to Azeroth at the moments notice. "How is she anyways? I know for a fact you can sense you kin, brother of mine?"
Aeroza sighed as he also shrugged to his younger sister and started to tell her now with a mixture of knowing yet also not knowing at the same time, "I don't really know at this moment of time yet I felt she was also passed out…. again for some reason, not to long ago. Although, I felt she gained another Mate-Bond once again of course." He stated to Trinity with a sly grin on his features, to which she playfully slapped him for.
Trinity though decided to change the topic to a more concerned one, knowing he might have an answer to it as they have been talking for at least five hours non-stop together within her older brother's personally made chambers. "So Lucy as well as the other two is considered three out of the Twelve Children of Harmony; Based off that one Prophecy... Daddy mentioned a long time ago, right?"
Aeroza only nodded as he then stated to her to make her worry slightly as he now firmly told her to what he felt now, looking away briefly form her face as a result, "I felt Xemnas also with the previous group I sent to aid Lucy at this time, and eventually bring her back for training. But I think or feel that it might be sometime before that can happen at all, dear sister. Even if it has been put-off for some time, she needs it in order to make sure her power… doesn't consume her over and do something when she is aware, to be regretful about. Especially since her Other-Half will have no chance on aiding her at all, because of this." Trinity solemnly agreed now to him without words. It was a thing they might fear for the three girls from what Aeroza described.
For you see, one of their male siblings was so consumed by his untrained power, he truly regretted it a long, long time ago: He accidentally destroyed a life-populated world without knowing. As this changed him for the worse once he found-out he did that, but thankfully their father who was alive still back then, restored the world as well as all the life on said planet.
After that, their younger sibling kept training non-stop until he fully controlled the power to which he used to sacrifice himself later on to save their world once, their old home world a long time ago. Though now he is a competitor at most times as well as an instructor within the Afterworld to better help make other's stronger or better than they were before as time passes he gained a lot of knowledge to use his power still for good.
Trinity, Aeroza now saw, had a determined look on her face as Trinity now conjured a sapphire-like vortex that is part of her magic to a specific location, and he now stated curiously to her yet already knowing what she might end-up doing now after being told of Lucy. "Where are you going Trinity?" In response to his question to her, Aeroza only got a determined look from her as she plainly stated; only giving her an approved one in return back, "To train my Great-Niece of course. Knowing Denara is training Jade to control her own power; I feel it is up to me to do the same, as my own part." Trinity then waved quickly goodbye and now left, and the vortex quickly closing after.
Aeroza now sighed as he then glanced at his desk he conjured after he got back from dealing the Fel-Balrog, blueprints as well as written notes of a previous project he decided to do when the man has a chance, showing an image of a floating city of sorts. "Well, it would seem Lucy will be in content for some time if Trinity is training her. But I need to get to this new project in case more otherworlders show-up for refuge as a result to… Ansemakku. Ok, let's resume Project: Divine, now once again." Aeroza stated to himself now, but was unaware as to what events would take place later on in Azeroth with Lucy, as Trinity's traveling would take two days' time to get to Lucy's current location.
Unknown Location, Icecrown Region within the outskirts at night, Azeroth:
The land was more then a snowy wasteland mixed with some old bones of deceased warriors or fighters, and it was lightly snowing as well as being cold as this land area represents to humans or other races as such. Only a few nocturnal animals of both prey and predator would scout this region for food resources. In the distance, to the view as of now would be at least ten miles outwards, were buildings made by those under command by the Lich King as well as further outwards then that, ice-like Vikings as such.
However right now a black vortex showed itself as a black-cloaked male stepped forth with his hood off, revealing it was Xemnas.
The former Organization 13 leader was given a mission of priority to make a deal of sorts with someone within this region, as said person rarely leave's this regions citadel often than not, unless the man feels like it. He was also secretly curious as the magic of this entire world-like universe as he felt this world was linked to others within this own world as a whole, like a few others he knew of from what he was showed as well as told.
Xemnas was brought out of his wonderings as he heard flapping within the air itself, and saw to make him only raise an eyebrow without showing any emotion, as he was intrigued, by a frost-like undead dragon that was immensely huge, and being ridden on by the very man he was seeking to talk to from this mission (Not going into details as I described him in Rosalina's story, but with that helmet on; or just look it up). It was Arthas Menethil, AKA, The Lich King.
Once the frost wyrm touched down, Arthas without a word, easily got off the dragon as well as dismissing it back to the Citadel.
The Lich king slowly moved while he approached Xemnas, as said male was now waiting with patients yet had his arms also crossed since he only displayed that raised eyebrow; as if impressed, at the king. Once Arthas was exactly a few feet away from the former boss of Organization 13, it was tense silence now with the chilly wind itself calmly blowing.
Arthas now smirked under his helm as his voice echoed because of him being whom he now is, at Xemnas; with the Nobody only giving a neutral look back in response, "It is known as foolish nature to come alone within my mere presence, mortal." Xemnas now shrugged halfheartedly back as he responded with a slight smirk now on his face; with his orange eyes also closed before opening back while speaking; since he can after being reborn of sorts, change between amber and orange eye-color at will now, "I have no reason to fear as such from you or anything other than those that resurrected me, Lich King."
Arthas, curiously sensing the truth at Xemnas's words; only nodded as he took his blade, Frostmorne, easily out of his seethe and forcibly jabbed it into the ground to declare Arthas was here on neutral terms before responding, impressed by the sound of his tone, "Indeed you are, as I can sense the darkness within you as clear as day. Yet for my reasoning's to come here as to the time of my upcoming time, to this world's ending?" Arthas stated/asked Xemnas as the Lich King now crossed his own arms while under his helmet while he only raised an eyebrow.
Xemnas though shocked him slightly as he fake-chuckled in fake humor before responding back afterwards, gesturing to the land itself, and then to the form of the Lich King before him. "Do you honestly believe that you will conquer this world as easily as the other enemies might also try to do? To be honest among those that have darkness within us, it is very unlikely as even you can sense eventually someone would try and take you place after your own demise, at a specific part of your Citadel." Xemnas now smirked wider slightly as Arthas's form stiffened; as if what Xemnas said shocked him, and quickly shook the minor revelation Xemnas knew his one weakness as such, and stated in slight disbelieve to the male before him, "How does a mortal as such as you, know about-" "I know a lot of what my own… Master told me before my arrival to meet with you, for an opportunity. Even if you're defeated, a Lich King… Or a Lich Queen must be chosen as such to represent the control of the Scourge. If you are patient enough, Arthas, and listen to my proposal my employers ask of you: Then you may get a chance for something other than this world or maybe yet… redemption of something you have done, within your own past."
It would seem that Xemnas has hit a personal nail so to speak, as Arthas stood stiff once again, within the glowing misty-blue eyes of his under that helm, only thought despite the influence of the sword seemingly shocked as well, since it was sentient by its own creator as such. How does this man as well as who he works for, know of my long-kept secret? How does he know the death of my own sister back then of which, I wasn't able to do anything at all?
After a few moments to let the Lich King settle for a few moments, Xemnas knew from the current posture as he merely saw Arthas himself debating, knew he had him hooked to at least hear him out. "Now tell me this mortal: What is this… deal you Masters have decided to you let you come in person, to ask of me?" Arthas finally asked, as the wind calmed now with light snow falling.
Xemnas had a neutral face the last few minutes or so when the Lich King was thinking, as Arthas grabbed his blade out of the earth itself, Xemnas shrugged off the snow that collected on his shoulders easily as he was inwardly smug as this deal was to befit not only the Lich King himself with some… betrayal later on, but to what his master told him of what the Lich King's little sister really was: one of the seven lights of this world, literally that is as seven people who hearts are filled with light like the Eight Princesses of Heart(2) have, live or lived on this entire globe-like universe.
It was theorized as well as proved for a fact certain "Lights" existed to certain other doors, but only a few others can open said other doors as such from what the Twelve Harmony Children was dubbed as such. They are merely the tools as why said Harmony Child is the key to it all, to unlock said doors.
"We will grant you some requests, and in exchange a few things from you as well; Since your world as well as a few certain objects to which have my Master's keen interest at heart, so to speak." Xemnas explained carefully to him, in which Arthas only nodded solemnly as he still had his sword out, yet not in a threatening position as he now once again thought about this deal. After a few moments, he nodded as he once was, since the blade itself allowed him to do so, placed his left-hand out to which in turn, Xemnas did with his own left-hand and they shook on it.
Since the weapon on the Lich King was sentient in secret, it sensed or foreseen it's power eventually fading out of existence and into someone more… capable to prove it's worth then him. Though not known to anyone else besides its own creator, the weapon was truly in fact a former weapon belonging to a deceased god of sorts in a world close by to this one, but laid forgotten until Arthas that is, plucked it out of its prison, so to speak back then. In fact said… entity was formally a young female hybrid of sorts, before her own spirit bound and made blank within the blade itself; until a specific wielder of sorts will free of its other/newer self and reveal its true form, as well as the female spirit herself to fully recall who she was, and be freed as the result.
The two males now began to discuss the arrangement or terms as such, not aware they were being secretly spied on by someone in a cloaked spell that was even tested on raw magic left behind by the Lich King himself a while back at the arena, and quickly left in a fast sprint to warn the others of a new enemy teaming up with the Lich King.
Lucy's POV; In the afternoon the next day; Temple of Dragons, Dragonblight-Azeroth:
I was quickly surprised my aunts as well as a few others, and some of my mates were here.
Though it is still weird to think of not only Rosa and Mia as such, but I strangely felt my familiar who sadly is still passed out on whatever made her do so, was in this temples infirmary from what I was told. Yet I felt my other mate… as strange as it sounds as she is older than me, Kristina, left a message as my ma- my familiar's name was Nefertina. I thought it suited her as such, of what two mixed races she was.
We all ate and other things, but from what looks my aunts were giving me now, made me slightly uncomfortable as minor thoughts crept into my head, and Kurama and my real mom, only comforted me as the other two were still sleeping somehow, within my heart.
Eventually we had to go meet these three leaders that were in the same chambers for meeting and relaxing, and I was also surprised as when they showed up, Keri as her name was too long, quickly hugged the human female as I sensed a lot of power from her form, in a quick yet gentle hug; in which the female returned (You should know from my other story as to what they look like). They were known as Jaina Proudmoore, a female mage of sorts. Khadgar who was also a mage, and a green-skinned male named Thrall; whose race I briefly heard was an Orc.
Even though the three took a quick interest with not only I, but the others as well, yet kept it to themselves as they discussed things.
I however was sent away with Keri, and my current mates here to a specific spot that she said would make me interested to look at down below the temple itself. I was also escorted by not only April, but Karai, Aunt Aria and Sonata as they were curious as well as my two aunts not wanting me out of their own sights for some time.
Though Mommy convinced Mom-Aunt Adagio that is to let me do this; despite not spending more time with her after she only saw me last night, slightly.
It was truly strange as the bottom of said temple was also amazing to gawk at for the first time as well.
Portal's that were also guarded carefully by different colored drake-like humanoids didn't heed us at all, but did glance at us a few times in minor amusement from our own reactions. Each portal though was connected by a rune-like archway of sorts, with each one a different color as I didn't even know the language at all. Yet it was slightly room temperature then outside at the moment, I quickly felt that this place was truly important somehow, but couldn't figure out why as well as I zipped all over the place, not hearing the amused comments by my aunts to both April and Karai, and my mates only thought my current actions was cute.
After zooming for the past few minutes, I was now suddenly nervous for some reason. Keri from where I saw her with my family and mates somehow, felt it as well.
Suddenly the guards all over stiffened and also at the same time seemed alert to something outside the entryway, to this place. I quickly landed and sped to my family and just in time as to where I was previously, a minor explosion occurred, and a group of strangers now came through the gap, with a strange insignia up the front of their plated armor.
I thought I might have seen it before as they all began attacking the guards that was stationed here, and as I was still recovering since that spell I unknowingly did to myself, made me as such slowly recover, we quickly hightailed it out of the area before the group could notice us, since we also didn't want to fight at all.
Once we all got outside, we were stunned as I made a face at whatever these things were that quickly surrounded us. I then decided as I grabbed my three specific Pokémon I felt I needed to fight with right now, out of their respective Pokéballs. This moved quickly surprised not only my family and mates with me at the moment, but the current things as they appear to be not only part of a undead army of sorts, but armored people who now stepped back slightly at Zane, Denise, and Pamela.
Zane seemed less then amused yet also a mixture of both curiosity as well as being stumped at the same time by what he was seeing I had to guess, along with both Pamela and Denise who only roared slightly to herself in confusion. Since they know I was recovering as well as told before we left by Keri's mom, to take it easy and not to overuse my own power or otherwise I would go back to what I was, as it would take at least a few days to recover to what I did for my Mommy; this was the easier solution I quickly thought of.
"=It would seem that from what we heard was correct as well as assumed you would use us to aid you during rough times, master.=" Spoke Pamela to me through Pokémon Speech, now gaining a slight smirk as Zane was annoyed and surprised Karai as well as the others not known about his telepathy powers, sighed to himself while also if you looking closely as he did a human thing: placed his big fingertips to where his nose was. "Why do I sometimes bother in reminding you to use your telepathy use as often as you can; to improve you abilities, Pam?" She merely shrugged as Pamela quickly used her Aero-Blast attack at the zombies and armored people, quickly making them fly away or collide against each other.
This made Denise know to attack now as well as she also used her one large-tail she has since Denise was currently in her original form, to swipe at the others as well as head-ram them all to the point of making some of them flying-off in the distance.
My aunts, April, Karai, as well as my mates seemed stunned at how easy my three Pokémon quickly handled the large group that was meant to capture us I think, from us seeing the nets some of them had. Though that quickly changed as not only they, but us had to dodge an icy-like breathe attack that quickly froze the remaining zombie-like things I would later on find out as ghouls, and touched down.
It was a very large skeleton-like dragon, and I sensed it was a female dragon of sorts. She was very huge as well as the size of Keri's mom in dragon form; I slightly recall now, but this undead dragon I sensed she was, was mostly bones with an icy-fire-like energy within her as well as it clearly showing. She also had shackles on her ankles and hind-legs.
She gazed at mostly us as she now ordered the ground troops, as we heard fighting coming from within the temple itself as well from the shouts of the others, "Gather what you can and aid the others for the distraction. The Lich King himself wants these in my sights…. Alive and unharmed, you fools." Whoever she was, truly scared them as they quickly went to the sides of the temple; not knowing as we took a teleporter this building has yet they took the long way from the steps. I sensed even though this dragon was undead, like my aunts I can tell on their faces, as well as April's as we all got into a defensive position near me, as well as my mates, that she might be powerful.
The undead female drake seemed amused at us for some reason, and before she could even comment she froze and then quickly turned to the left-side of her as we all then saw a black vortex suddenly showed itself, and I quickly froze suddenly as I truly remembered seeing that very man that stepped out, giving me now a familiar grin on his face from one of my many nightmares. "Sindragosa... It would seem your current mission was a true success. However as part of what one of the many requests by Arthas; You're… Master demanded is that to curse you now into your Humanoid Form, forever more."
His words made the dragon now look to him in shock with her wings flapping only once or twice, as well as her misty-like eyes glowing and dimming as if blinking to see if this was a joke or not, but from the man's face... I knew he was serious.
This mostly confused my aunts and the others, but April as well as Keri sensed a dark-like energy being quickly formed into the hands of this man, and I was right as before Sindragosa from what he dubbed her as could say or do anything quickly to this, she now shouted in agonizing pain by a dark-like beam being emitted by this man's hands, right at her chest. As she howled her body was quickly covered by the darkness itself, as well as a blue-like light of sorts coming out of her chest and from the beam itself, into the now non-beamed hand of the man as it was quickly absorbed into him entirely. When that was done, he used the ongoing hand he was using and said words that was too quick to even hear, and then quickly moved his arm downwards as if striking a sword, and the dark mass that contained the undead dragon, was now slammed onto the ground a few feet away, from her current position.
I suddenly felt pain coming from my Magical Core once again, as another unknown block that was placed by that old fool, suddenly broke now.
This made the others notice with quick worry while making the man seemed to be surprised briefly on his face at this new outcome, but quickly went back to his neutral look as he examined the blue-mist curiously before storing it away, on his person. From what they said afterwards as I was aware at the time, I quickly sped off to their dismayed cries of me to come back or anything else from them, as I came across a no-longer dragon-like form of what we knew as Sindragosa.
She was now or appeared to be more human-looking now as even though she looked attractive to my mind seemingly and unknowingly telling me that, for some reason, I felt a family-like bond quickly form with her. A forgotten one that is to me.
She had light-grey skin like her skeletal form as a dragon had as well as mid-back length long hair that was pure-white as ice. Sindragosa also had a decent face as she appeared to be at least eighteen or nineteen years old in appearance; despite her chest being a few cup sizes more than me as well as a more curve-like figure my mind quickly told me; to my real mom's ire and the other's laughter now seeing me gaze at her in worry for some reason. Even though her eyes were closed as they were normal yet a little large sized, they glowed that same-type of blue form what I and my family saw flow throughout Sindragosa in dragon form. Same with that pendant now around her neck that was also attached to a choker made of steel-like bones in design as well as her outfit; though the pendent was attached to what was a image of her skull as a dragon, but smaller.
I of coursed also blush briefly, as her skin mostly showed as it was very distracting as such, since the gear she wore mostly covered her assets with ease but also allowed a lot of it to be shown; as well as her upper torso. But her lower part was plated-like leather of some kind that still showed her long, slender legs; which matched her upper gear in color and terms, but runes on the sides of the legs I wasn't familiar with, since I was taught within the month about them slightly by Grandpa himself. But her upper as well as lower body also showed she was sleek yet slightly fit; despite Sindragosa's power I sensed was also immense slightly. Her wings were still slightly skeletal in nature, but were now more webbed as well as her tail Sindragosa kept out of her dragon form. She also had a delicate nose and mouth as well, as her current form now made me get another flashback suddenly, as I now remembered who she is to me as well.
(Flashback Begins; June 21st, 1993; Normal POV)
We see a young Lucy with her mother, along with a very different yet similar female with her as well as Maleficent going through a park that was nearby where they lived.
The female besides Lily Maria Evans-Potter was a different yet same version of the human-like form of Sindragosa as back then she was considered "alive" as well as being an adviser to the current leader who was curious about Lost Avalon, Malygos. Though the main reason she was specifically chosen for this task was that she was close to but yet also not close to in power, as the leader back then of course, but was unlike most drakes within her Aspect flight (Which was a few that is); the Blue Drakes, was attracted to the same sex as her.
Nobody though minded that within the Blue Aspects as magical-based drakes they can easily produce offspring like Lost Avalon's; with simple spell-work, or a potion of sorts. Sindragosa though, has of yet to actually find a true mate to claim as her own.
This current timelines Sindragosa had tinted blue-pale skin tone from coming to Lily's world as per request. She was of course like the current in-age as well as form; from the current version of her form, body-wise that is. The female drake though wore a casual dress with leather-like pants that matched not only her current hair color back then: light brown with blue-tinted highlights, but showed-off her curves without truly showing any skin. She also wore comfortable tan-based shoes Lily even bought her new friend as well as one of many new godmothers' for Lucy as well. Her eyes though were pure-blue with a silver pupil that was slit like in terms of what she truly was, a dragon.
Though in a recently done secret as to not tell her husband James; as recently Lily fears something odd has been going on around her husband as of late, yet can't or somehow couldn't prove otherwise, did a ritual with everyone she met. This ritual would make it so not only since they used a drop of each other's blood mixed with at least five droops of her daughter's, make her secretly by relation with magic, and since Lily only needed to give her daughter a drop of the elixir that was formed as a result to complete it back then, would benefit with gifts from each of them in secret.
Though in-turn, the ritual would allow them to be bonded as a parental or magical guardian bond of some sorts, which was slightly newer then anyone knows except to when she did indeed found out by herself, that ritual she performed as Lily thought as it was new, and has not yet been done. But it has as it was truly created by both Merlin and Morgana themselves; by looking into it deeply.
The ritual from what she read as the writing was hard to read from the delicate pages of a book she discovered as a dairy of Merlin himself stated that the ritual would be a bond to where they can detect said person involved, her daughter that is, and know instantly of her emotions or anything else. Even if they have their memory wiped as such too said person or anything other than that; they would slowly unlock their blocks either by themselves, or direct contact with said person as a result.
If the bond was blocked however as she paled slightly to this back then after finding out, would be slightly painful to said person but eventually recall as they too would have memories blocked from the ones who were indeed blocked by any means to them. But said person (Lucy) would recall familiarity or feelings to the person or person's involved with said ritual.
In secret Lily stole the book and replaced it with a fake, and with Sindragosa's aid, quickly restored it as well as placed it into Lucy's Trust Vault with Morgana's Diary or spell books she discovered, an hour later, in a random bookshop that was selling her work for only ten pounds.
Anyways back to the current subject.
As the three females and the Young Lucy were walking with her hand clinging to Sindragosa, and in turn the female warmly smiled at the child. They quickly froze as they all saw a black-cloaked male stopped them as he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but the male in front of them didn't wear a bone-white mask to presume he was a Death Eater as the three thought they would be safe for today to head-out.
He then lowered his hood to reveal it was Saïx, and making the three females now relax as Lily's hand was to her heart as she also playfully glared at him now, in which made the Nobody half-chuckle to her at this, with Lucy now being picked-up by Sindragosa herself. "Moony, you almost gave me a heart attack as I thought you were a Death Eater slightly." Lily stated to her friend, and he merely shrugged in a apologetic look back to her at the same time, and then stated to them all to include them as well, "I'm sorry for that. It's just I have some news to share with "Alice" here." Saïx told them, making them looks to him now in curiosity but also wary slightly as Sindragosa did use an alias to when she came to this world, Alice Arteria Skystone, with Lucy now playfully tugging her hair; making the dragon at the same time to also wince slightly, but only gave a kind look to the child in return.
Sindragosa looked to her two friends she made for the past three years of going back and forth from Azeroth to Lost Avalon, who nodded as Maleficent without words only patted the female drake's shoulder with Lily as at the same time, she was about to take her daughter away until she now seemed amused and also annoyed Lucy wanted to stay in Sindragosa's arms, right now.
Sindragosa merely smiled back at her friend she made over the years, and stated softly while glancing to see an amused Saïx at them now, since Lucy was firmly gripped to her form, "I can watch Little Star easily, Lily, while you got get the child her presents you have yet to get her, alright?" Lily nodded as she trusted the female drake like her other friends, as when they saw Lucy as a babe, they were immediately addicted as protectors or guardians as such. Despite the ritual they recently done, enforcing it as well.
Lily then kissed her daughter on the forehead, making the child giggle slightly as she also then left with the fay-witch.
Once both Lily and Maleficent truly left, it was a few moments of silence as they went over and sat on a park bench, with Lucy in Saïx's arms now, and her merely looking at them both silently as the child also sensed a topic of sudden interest was about to unfold. "The reason I asked to speak with you is that I recently found-out your Flight Leader; Malygos, is going to betray you later on Sindragosa. Especially from what I heard from a seer in your world I had to escort safely back as payment, and found out you may not survive the assault."
Sindragosa now looked to him in slight shock, as his words she sensed were truthful and she also sighed now as well as looked away a few moments until she felt her hair getting pulled by Lucy once again, making the dragon look to her godchild warmly now yet afterwards looked to Saïx with sudden betrayal mixed with confusion on her face. "Why? Why does Malygos want to kill me though? Even after all the years I served him, he wants me dead." The female dragon asked or stated to him; tears now showing in her orbs, yet Lucy only cooed to comfort her aunt with ease, as she knew how to speak yet decided not to as the child instinctively felt it was not the right time for it.
Saïx now sighed to himself and then gave her a mixed look of honesty with concern as he also now stated to her, as Sindragosa was a few of his personal friends he talked to over the years besides Lily herself that is, and just gently rubbed her left-arm in comfort, "I have no clue, but I fear he might be… influenced by something of someone to do as such. This isn't like the dragon we both know as you introduced us at some point of time, you recalled that?" The Nobody asked the female drake at the end, to which she brushed her tears away from her face and sadly nodded, and stated back softly to him then, "It must be that Saïx. Otherwise from what that seer gave you the advice for helping them, as it must be true."
Though the dragon now saw a hesitant look as if Saïx was holding things back, and he was as she now asked him firmly, now holding Lucy as her godchild wanted in Sindragosa's arms now, and looked to him carefully at the same time as Lucy now gently played with her hair, "There was more wasn't there old friend?" Saïx nodded as to what he stated next, shocked her even more to her core yet somehow knew it was a possibility as such, but to hear it from him, was very harsh yet knew to be true as she now knew if she returned, she would be killed. "The very same seer before I got a chance to leave left me with a warning about you as well. She stated you will indeed be brought back, but eventually betrayed once again by the same person you done so, as you will be a powerful yet different dragon of sorts. One that is... That is controlled, until the betrayal occurs," Saïx now rubbed the back of his head, and stated honestly to her with his own confusion shown in his tone of voice at the female dragon, "I don't know what that seer meant, but if it is true, then it has to do with a certain type of sorcery I can imagine that involves to what she stated to me, as such."
The female drake only nodded as she indeed truly know what type of magic that was, yet inwardly Sindragosa did indeed feared for her own life but also as strange as it sounds… accepted it at the same time as if this didn't happen or occur at all, then she strangely felt she wouldn't be there for her godchild then. Yet she decided to keep it to herself as she then declared softly back to the Nobody, with him now giving her a look as if are you insane or something as such, "I do need to go back at least, to check-up on my little sister or make a deal with Malygos. If what you said was true then he might accept my wishes before doing so; As per dragon law of my world, it is to be done without anything betraying the dying drake's last request."
Knowing the dragon already made-up her mind if what Malygos has been planning is true, Saïx now sighed in minor dismay as he looked carefully at the female drake, with her readjusting Lucy who now was passed out in her arms as Sindragosa also felt she would miss this kind of treatment if this was indeed happening for some time. "If you are sure to do this, just be prepared as anything can happen as such, Alice."
Sindragosa gave a half-hearted yet true smile on her face at the man next to her, knowing from him telling her of her alias name he cared in his own way, she nodded as within a week or so as she decided to remain to celebrate her godchild's birthday before leaving, not knowing it would be the last time for a long time of seeing Lucy as well as Lily herself alive back then, including being her own person. "I will be Saïx; you have nothing to fear about. Just promise me you make sure to set-up my will I placed as 'Alice' here, to Lucy, alright? The will itself should activate once she is at least ten years old."
The Nobody only nodded as it was then Lily and the fay-witch returned; with a few bags in their arms, and eventually they talked before Saïx left.
The other two females saw Sindragosa was disturbed by something, though she was able to truly play it off as nothing the entire time till she had to go back, but it was then the seer's foresight was true and she did indeed get betrayed by her Former Flight Leader, and as such was frozen in ice with her soul trapped within her dead body.
But luckily the male dragon carried out her last requests with ease; despite him being controlled yet he was by law, required to do so as such.
(Flashback Ends; Present; Lucy's POV)
I shook my head at the brief memories of her as I now knew what might have happened to my godmother or magical aunt that was now lying before me, as I went to her still form.
I didn't know what to do to see if she was alright, but I placed my head; as I easily laid her flat on the snowy ground as well as also lying next to her on my knees; not sensing someone coming up right behind me, as I now listened to her heart.
It didn't make a sound at first until I unknowingly channeled a minor part of my magic into her, and I then sighed to myself with sudden relief as I heard a minor yet loud 'Thump' coming from her own chest a few times, and it kept going. Not knowing I made her alive once more, instead of being undead.
I gasped quickly in sudden pain as my tail was grabbed as instantly, I felt very weak and turned to see at the same time I now paled quickly, making my skin look like sheet metal if it was possible, with the man who only raised an eyebrow at this outcome of him grabbing my tail, like he currently was. Though my fearful look also seemed to make a gleam in his eyes show slightly, as he then stated to more himself loudly then actually speak to me, "So you recall who I am then child… Interesting."
I was then forcibly picked up by my neck and my tail still firmly gripped hard by the man. I also saw my family attacking a group of Heartless this man must have summoned to distract them, now, as within the temple a battle still raged within.
Though we didn't realize Sindragosa, my godmother/aunt suddenly gasped a breath as he easily strides away from her now permanent human-like form, and looked around crazily. As if checking her surroundings and not insane like; until she fumed and now recalled her entire time as a slave to the Lich King, and then quickly frowned as well as then paused again as she also saw me as well as the man, making her confused for a few moments until she suddenly remembered, and now Sindragosa quickly narrowed-slit her eyes at the man that was making me slightly breathe less and less, as he summoned a vortex of that darkness; to which I shivered from.
"This is all too easy to me child, as to what my Master has in-store for you personally. But at the moment... I think you would do well in the company of the Lich King until I get a chance to deal with the others more… personally, like your True Mother, foolish girl." The man stated to me then, making me truly scared as I didn't know who this Lich King was or what they were going to do to me, but what I felt the most fear for was my entire family at this moment as I heard my two aunts cry in sudden pain, and also April shouting out to them as I couldn't tell since he forcibly had me gazing at the vortex, as little by little, he began to place me into it with him.
He suddenly gasped in slight pain as we were both quickly shoved away by a now dismissed portal of darkness, by Sindragosa; who was angry as I can clearly see on her face at him mixed with concern to me, as I felt the bond once again coming from me to her as an aunt figure.
I landed safely, but the man himself landed a few yards away from my position, and Sindragosa quickly came over as she had her wings out and flew to me, and began to check me over as well as seeing I was weak.
I weakly said to her, shocking her as she thought I wouldn't recognize her at all, my body was slightly limp from what he did to me with my tail to which she seemed shocked also by my appearance as well as how older I looked yet seemed childlike; also saying her nickname I called her when I was younger as well. "Aunty Sky?" She began to gently shush me as she channeled some of her own magic into me; making me feel slightly better, but I saw unshed tears were in her glowing eyes at me as Sindragosa/Aunty Sky also seemed regretful as the bond that was blocked for a long time, was now fully informing partially to her in secret of my entire time to her, yet instead told me gently, "It's alright Little Star, I'm here."
"Oh how… touching it is to be reunited as such to one of the Twelve Children of Harmony, is it not, Sindragosa?" The man's voice asked from a few feet away from us, making me stiff in sudden fear, and her to also lightly growl at him in warning. "Then again you barely recalled as such as your served under the Lich King's thumb, so to speak, without any or all your memories to boot... Former Blue Drake." The man taunted, and Aunty Sky growled even more as she also stated as well to him firmly; with a hint of anger in her tone, "Why are you after my Godchild, Xemnas? I fully recalled as it was you who manipulated my Flight Leader, Malygos, back then to have him kill me. Is it well enough to leave us to ourselves?"
The man, Xemnas I now known as I also did recall seeing him there at my true mom's demise back then, only laughed as if this was a joke to him, but in fake humor I quickly saw. He then firmly stated back to Aunty Sky, gesturing while he spoke to her with his eyes mostly on my weak form without moving a single step from where he was, "Isn't it obvious as to why I did so to not only you, but to the others back then? It was the Darkness's calling or telling me as such to allow that to happen, as it indeed needs to occur as today. Although my True Master has yet to seek the child out, but he did tell me to capture her…. eventually, as well as test her, Lucile Eclipse Potter, as such."
I froze over at his words and Aunty Sky now gaped at him in a mixture of emotions running throughout her, and then quickly growled in warning as he took a step towards us. Before he could say anything else, Xemnas was suddenly blasted by a fireball of sorts at the middle of his back, and that didn't do anything but made him now annoyed as he turned and saw it was my entire family, mates that was here on this world (Not Nefertina as she is passed out still) and my Pokémon. As well as those three others who glared at the man as they also seemed slightly surprised at the same time with Aunty Sky's new form for some reason.
Xemnas now looked to them all as he saw the undead was retreating as well as the Heartless he summoned was all gone and defeated, and yet the man began to chuckle at first, then laugh at all of us as within moments. Xemnas now had his hands outwards to his sides with a smirk now on his face; his hands charging with a red-like energy of sorts now as he spoke. "It would seem I misjudged at how… cooperative you all must be able to do the task at hand. However," the energy in his hands now looked like something I recalled as swords of some kind, but something quickly popped into my head naming them quickly as well as stating them in my weak voice still as my power was also still recovering like Alexstrasia said, "Ethereal Blades.." I didn't see the minor shocked look from Aunt Sky at declaring what Xemnas's weapons were, as he laughed in a fake-tone and then also stated firmly to them all; as the blades glowed a brighter red then before, "I would like to find-out at how… unique you all fight as such."
Knowing something was going to happen to me somehow, Aunty Sky quickly grabbed me to my surprised yelp as we quickly dodged a sudden metallic-like clawed hand at our previous spot in a grabbing motion, and Xemnas only grinned when he briefly glanced at this, and then turned to look back at the others as they all glared at him, even Keri as I knew she was kind and sweet at most times, yet energetic at the same time and it would take a lot to anger the dragon girl; even though it was brief of knowing her, I felt I knew her my entire life. "It would seem that my… Leader sent me aid to test you out." Xemnas stated to himself aloud, yet quickly vanished from his spot as he now began attacking the others.
Aunty Sky and I however as we kept trying to go near their location, had to dodge the same metallic-clawed hand that kept coming out of the ground with ease.
My three Pokémon decided to abandon the others to aid me better as they suddenly felt as well as them the ground began to shake, as we; Aunty Sky and I, have been trying for the past ten minutes or so to get to them all. A few yards behind us as we quickly turned in the air to dodge one last strike of those hands, it quickly went into the snowy-ground and what quickly came out with tons of snow busting from where it emerged was scary to say the least.
It was a very big Heartless-like monster that was a fusion of a scorpion and a metallic dragon of sorts without wings. Though it did had two, very large claw-like hands that were the very ones that tried grabbing us. From what I had to guess the thing stood at least forty-two stories tall in height and it also had fel-like runes showing on some parts of its armored hide. It didn't have a tail but four, tentacle-like whips that randomly slashed the snowy-ground before settling down. The head and neck as it was slightly bipedal, was that of a dragon but the rest was to that of a scorpion with only three larger legs that despite the way they each look on each side, were muscled to increase speed and power. The four tentacles were at the tail-part of where the scorpion's tail should be, and the arms were on each side and very-long for easy reach if airborne enemies came after it, it could easily pluck them from the sky. It also had four, upward placed red-eyes that mostly looked at my form.
The thing I quickly dubbed Scorpigoon, roared at us now as it also sent those whips in which were very stretchable, at us now. I was also thankful as Aunty Sky was a great flyer from what I recalled back then as well as now as we dodged left and right, and also sideways from them trying to grab us as well as its giant hands it has. Thankfully Zane used his Psystrike or whatever that powerful move he has, at Scorpigoon, in which it roared angrily at him as my three Pokémon: Denise, Pamela, and Zane himself were successfully distracting as well as dealing only minor damage to the thing, while we now landed to the others as we saw Xemnas was dealing blow after blow with their weapons of both the three leaders as well as the three dragon people.
Keri, and my Mommy and Mom-Aunt Adagio were the only ones to come to our aid, as they were also cautious with Aunty Sky as well, despite her panting hard as well as widening her eyes for some reason as she quickly placed a hand to her chest at where her heart is in surprise. We quickly turned to see a regular bronze drake being ridden on by Kristina as the drake blasted Scorpigoon with a quick energy-blast of sorts, making it flinch and stiffen for a few moments, before shaking it off and attacking Denise now who also switched into her fire-like form (Fire Infusion of Kyuurem).
Once the two landed, she quickly hurried to me and Keri gave her a strange look before shaking her own head as I was checked over by my Mommy and Momm-Aunt Adagio before giving Aunty Sky a thankful look, and before they could say anything, we yelped as a sudden dark-red blast from the mouth of Scorpigoon was aimed at our spot.
We were of course surprised as a strange-like shield, now shielded us as we saw Miss Jaina only giving us a nod as she was near us as well as April, who appeared to be struggling on her powers as the creature when it had a chance, blasted at our location again and again.
"I don't know how long I can keep this up guys!" Shouted April at us, with her sweating slightly as each random-timed blast hit us, but each one seem weak as I somehow knew it was going to be defeated soon; from the confirmation of my real mom and the other three, as well as Arisa herself. "You just need to hold as long as you can girl, the beast is almost defeated by the others!" Miss Jaina told my cousin as well as us, with her struggling too as it must be also making them both possibly be tired to even hold that shield for a long time, as it has been at least twenty or so minutes as they kept it up.
Within moments as Xemnas deflected a blast of magic from Mr. Khadgar himself, they all froze at now seeing the monster, Scorpigoon, now roared in defeat as it then plopped very hard to lift some debris as well as snow off the ground, and then began to vanish as well as a silver-like heart going upwards before vanishing completely. But from where we were we saw mostly everyone as well as the three drakes panting as well as Xemnas, who now smirked as he gazed at our direction with a strange look before I felt strange as well as I saw the current others near me as Xemnas now loudly spoke to them all, "Well. I must congratulate you all for passing my test as in a secret I must say: I was simply toying with you all."
I was stunned as well as everyone as he dismissed his weapons, and chuckled as at our area, even Miss Jaina and Aunty Sky froze as we all felt a sudden cold surround us as Xemnas then stated his choice of wording carefully. It was as if he already had this planned from the start, "No matter though, some parts of the deal I made with a specific someone that rules of a specific area of this continent, now works with us willingly and in turn will… Let's say, hold some hostages until we get what we secretly came here for, the moment after."
I suddenly yelped as well as both my Mommy and Keri as underneath us now was a black-like vortex that was quickly sucking us all in, and the shield that was placed was quickly gone as Miss Jaina and April were with us as well as we were then all suddenly teleported somewhere.
Brief Normal POV:
Everyone was frozen in place as to what just occurred with the others under the shield by both April O'Neal and Jaina Proudmoore made, were now taken by Xemnas they assumed, and Thrall now grit his teeth.
Despite knowing Jaina as a close friend, even though she is part of the Alliance, knew she would be able to keep them safe as well from what the elements themselves told him as a Shaman, that Sindragosa will as well. But the abduction of what he briefly glanced at the Queen of the Dragonflight's youngest child he assumed made her angry from what not only him, but the others as well could clearly see.
The man that they now know is Xemnas, since he introduced himself loudly to them while fighting this powerful human… or something else besides human as this man rarely shows true emotions they also were able to notice, was telling the truth of him toying with them. Yet just testing them as well as taking anyone while they fought, wasn't going to be good for him later on as he could tell, as well from Khadgar's face as well as the two dragons of bronze and green.
Xemnas now laughed in fake humor as he now stated, with him also summoning a vortex of darkness with a sly smirk now on his features, "My partner Arthas sends his regards, Khadgar, as well as to this supposed 'Paladin of the Light'." Alexstrasia quickly charged at him, but she was stunned within moments as Xemnas simply swatted her away with ease, making them all freeze as he handled the Queen as such like that, and she in turn landed harshly on the ground in a frozen state of shock.
He now chuckled at her shocked form as he also stated clearly, making Alexstrasia despite being stunned to her own core as to what she felt from the attack as her ribs were bruised harshly, but what she now felt from his last words; as he then left at the same time to her personally, "I would worry about your other children if I was you, Queen of the Dragonflight; Otherwise your only child will be next as she is a Child of Light to this world we will eventually need, to open the Chaos Door; For a piece of my Leader's power. If not them, then the Burning Legion would also take interest of another door… personally if they so find out where it is."
After the vortex was gone, Thrall quickly began to heal with Ysera's aid to Alexstrasia, as well as help the Queen up as despair now filled her heart.
For some time she hasn't heard from any of her elder children, and now finding out they were… gone was truly upsetting the dragon, but her now determination as Keri, her last child, was now in the clutches as to whom she truly suspects to by Xemnas's partner during his time she felt, on their world.
The others now knew they had no choice but to try and get Lucy back to where they not only taken her, but the others as they felt dread to themselves afterwards knowing if something happened, then something worse would happen if not done. Though Khadgar now thought about what the man stated to them out loud, as if he purposely told them as such. He will have to look into the Kirin Tor Library, after they rescue them. But he too also knew who he referred to as a partner in all of this.
The Lich King, Arthas himself.
Despite as to what happened they all decided to come-up with a plan as soon they knew from both Thrall and Khadgar as the true reason that even Jaina came to them as such: aiding them on the assault to the Icecrown Citadel itself.
The dragons would of said no to this, but from what occurred with Keristrasza being taken along with her mate, and a few others as well as to what they felt, a redeemed Sindragosa somehow, accepted without a beat. They were also told of these reports of the Shadow Ones as well as a few Silver Ones making random appearances all over not only Azeroth itself, but the Outlands and some points within the Caverns of Time.
Needless to say they were surprised the Champions of Azeroth from both The Horde and The Alliance, were able to defeat them somehow. Yet they were stunned to find the bronze female drake, Chromie, in her Gnome form along with a unconscious Kristina; who was injured by something. From what they expected since they are both currently in the infirmary that Lucy was once at, they were attacked partway and then ejected a few yards away from where they were as too described, sucked-in by that larger vortex of darkness.
But at this point, they are planning to remain for the day and recover, and then the next; they would go tell as such as to what occurred and continue the plan of the upcoming assault after.
Lucy's POV; Icecrown Citadel's Inner Chamber:
We had no vision for a few moments until we quickly came out near each other thankfully, to a strange location to which I saw both Aunty Sky and Miss Jaina pale suddenly, as they realized where we currently all at.
I shivered despite my body-heat was now normal thanks to Miss Red, Mr. Bronze, and Miss Green; as their names in my head were too long or confusing so I decided to nickname the three dragons as such earlier. Keri I saw was nervous though.
The area itself was slightly cold yet also warm, despite us seeing some open-air windows of this very place as it was mostly an inner working of a chamber as well as mostly to what I think was a metallic-forged castle of sorts, with enchantments fused into the structure. Despite it looking cool, it also felt strangely like dread mixed with a touch-home feeling of warmth mixed with both hope and loss. From what we saw we were indeed in a large chamber of sorts that had only us in it, but we also saw a large, iron-like gate of sorts with a metallic dragon skull with gemmed-sapphire eyes imbedded into the fake skull in front of us, and on our sides were nothing but pillars that connected to the wall as it went upwards n a crooked way of sorts to make it menacing slightly. There was also a balcony behind us that was opened, but when we all went to it we were shocked at how high we were, yet the castle I dubbed not my head, was still going upwards as well as more to see from it.
So basically we were all currently stuck here, as Keri was drained somehow to not be able to change into her dragon form, and I was still weak yet slowly gaining my strength back from my stunt earlier with aiding my Mommy, who was thankfully near me, as I almost lost her to the cold and was inwardly relieved that my accidental spell was still in effect, for her.
Miss Jaina however, seemed to be lost in her own thoughts as April and the others also discussed quietly to themselves without me, as I was cold once again, but not that bad as both Mommy and Mom-Aunt Adagio kept me warm; not seeing the minor blush at person-to-person contact with each other on each of their faces.
It seemed like we were there for hours, but in reality was only ten or so minutes when the large gate moved inward now, making us all alert.
We quickly froze however as a armored man came into the area now with a female that was in a get-up as a queen-like vampire, with a mini-version of her who glanced at me slightly in curiosity as the girl seemed around my age in looks. Followed by from when I asked about their races at one time as we were tired, and minor bored to Miss Jaina earlier, she briefly told us one of them as being the Forsaken, yet I felt this man was a strange one as he was indeed looked like he would be from that group, but not likely as he also examined us as experiments of sorts from what I saw in his eyes and the slight smirk on his face.
Miss Jaina however seemed to place her guard up as she was in front of all of us with Aunty Sky, making me now nervous as Aunty Sky also lowly growled at them with Miss Jaina now firmly asking them with a grip of her weapon, but mostly looking at the armored man with a strange yet unique-looking blade in his hands. "Why have you brought us here Arthas? Is it bad enough you want Azeroth to your undead army, then to let us be in peace?"
The man, Arthas I know now, only chuckled with his voice echoing; making my spine felt a fearful chill at it as he responded back to her as if, that truly amused him slightly, but gazed at the other's with half-interest yet I saw even more with me, for some reason, "I was only doing what I felt this world would be right, Jaina, and as such my… partner for the time being asked me to keep you all for some time, as well as sweetening my army-based power slightly in return of a few things. One of which is why you are all here at the moment, thanks to him."
I didn't like the sound of that as well as from what I also saw from the rest of everyone's faces to his words; especially as I felt we were prisoners for the time being despite what he now said to us, "You are considered… guests for the time being here, until I face what Tirion Fordring will send to try and defeat us, within my domain. Either that or my defeat in which, is not possible. So please, enjoy your stay as per my word as Lich King: You are declared safe and to not be harmed, by any means."
Arthas then swiftly turned around and began to leave, but after a few steps, paused as he gave the two females with him a look, to which I was surprised the elder female cowered slightly, but I only saw the girl who I think is my age, but was already starting out to develop… from what my Grandpa said would eventually happen when we had the talk about his race's version of Puberty; in which still confuses me still as he also said I would be going through it again as the elixir just made me go through it quickly by my magic, kept looking at me with interest with warmer eyes then the elder.
Arthas then turned to look at us one more time as he then stated to make me wary now of him, as his glowing-misty eyes I felt from not seeing his face, gazed at me with something I didn't like at all now. "A few of you along with the… child, may relax and recover as tomorrow: You will be tested by a re-created experiment of sorts made personally by my head scientist here," which he briefly gestured to the undead man; who only bowed as he left quickly for something he forgot I had to guess on his face, and Arthas then finished his words before truly leaving us, "Make no mistake my hospitality is given willingly, if it wasn't for the man, Xemnas, as to his part of the deal; Then it would mean all for not."
The Lich King then left as the older female with the girl remained as the door also quickly shut behind his leave.
All of a sudden with blinding speed, I got hugged by the little girl, and she simply smiled at me with two small fangs showing from her upper teeth. The woman facepalmed at the girl's antics as I only gave her confused ones in return as well as my family, mates, and Miss Jaina since she looked at the other adult carefully, and quickly had wide eyes but somehow knew to keep her mouth shut this time; since she had a feeling this female was going to introduce both of them pretty soon.
The female dressed as a fancy-like queen with her own fangs now showing a hesitant grin on her features now stated to us with a minor laugh at first before doing so, coming to us with her shoes clanking lightly on the ground as well. "Please forgive the actions of my only child. It is just, she hasn't had anyone at her age to bond or befriend with, after so long." Mommy as well as Aunt Adagio blushed as from her outfit this adult wore, did showed her chest, but I now noticed that the fake-like wings on her back like her daughter's; to which are also small yet flexible I can plainly see, were real.
I didn't however see April shiver to herself as she looked around briefly as if, she was being watched as well as my mates.
"It's alright Miss?" My Mommy hesitantly asked the female, her wings also twitching slightly to a slight breeze that got blown into the room before going away; as we also didn't know their names at all. It would seem the vampire-lady seemed to have look slightly sheepish, despite the cold look in her eyes yet I felt she was in secret around with her daughter, a kind and gentle soul for some reason, not knowing Arisa and the others already knew of the female, mostly my real mom and my weapon.
She looked abashed only slightly and then crossed her arms, her grey-like wings that matched her skin like her daughter's moved slightly at the same time as she then began to introduce herself now in honesty, as well as fully, shocking Miss Jaina when I glanced at her briefly before looking at the still hugging girl's mom. "My name is known better as Lana'thel (3): Blood-Queen to the San'layn as well as a former servant warrior to Kael'thas; Being resurrected by The Lich King... to do his dirty work for him." Miss Lana as I decided to call her as her name was strange, as Miss Lana also stated the title Arthas had with disgust. I now saw her eyes softened, despite her current neutral look still, "The one hugging the Harmony Child, still, is my only daughter: Blood-Princess Thal'ena (4), and she is eight years of age as to what I become, she will age like a mortal as she is a half-breed, to our race."
That got me curious as my new friend I guess, let go and decided to say nothing at the moment, and amused my Mommy and the others as she sat on my Mo-Aunt Adagio's lap with ease and fell asleep, as only I, Miss Jaina and April saw her eyes looked surprised at her daughter's newer actions but quickly went back to the cold look; mixed with warmth in her orbs.
"If you don't mind me asking, Blood-Queen, how is your daughter a hybrid as such?" Miss Jaina asked now to Miss Lana, who gave the mage a look at first, before sighing at the same time. Miss Lana looked briefly at her daughter before looking back at Miss Jaina with a look, and she only nodded as it seemed to be a personal subject to the Blood-Queen I had to guess.
As if sensing something, she wince briefly as if something stun her, and then sighed as Miss Lana then looked to her daughter a few moments, and then also asked Thal'ena softly, making the girl look to her now with a tilt of her head, "Do you perhaps want to stay and play with your new friend?" I guess we were quickly friends as she nodded and began to tug me over somewhere as my mates soon followed, knowing my real age and not my physical one thanks to that potion, and we began to play with the adults looking amused; as I began to teach her to play Simon Says. Though I also heard them talking still while we played.
Miss Lana looked to them for a few moments, and then stated softly to make their eyes also widened as a result. "Despite Arthas's ways, he is truthful to what he declared as I even felt it around the Citadel itself. Though I despise the King; I cannot leave at all with my daughter as I am bond to him along with a few others who still have wills of their own, as it can only be broken by someone more powerful to wield his blade... Besides that former Paladin's self."
"So you basically like a few others, a slave I have to guess?" Asked April in both horror and curiosity mixed into her form and face, as this revelation made me also sorry for Miss Lana as well. Despite her wincing again as it seemed more painful, as they also saw me now pick my new friend to play the leader role as she won, sadly nodded to them. "You are correct teenager. That very blade itself despite him not knowing, hosts a memory-blocked soul of sorts as I and only a few others have sensed her. One of which that leads the Forsaken, I have to guess? But to those that rises from dead from the enchantment placed upo-upon the blade itself mixed with the powers of the Lich King, there is little to no choi-choice." I felt that something was wrong with Miss Lana, as well as the others; as despite me also losing my new friends turn at the game, she seemed to be in slow-growing pain as well as struggling to speak now.
"I am sorry," Miss Lana began as she winced again with her forming words quickly to them at the same time, "It would seem he is now summoning me for a task I have to do now. Bu-But if I may ask, c-can you let my daughter remain with you as I h-have a feeling I might be gone l-longer then I should?" Miss Jaina gave the Blood-Queen a solemn look as so did my Mommy and Mo-aunt, and Miss Lana seemed surprised as my Mommy gently patted her on the shoulder as they were all standing now as while she spoke, mostly everyone besides us playing, were siting awkwardly on the steel-like ground. "I don't seem to mind at that," looking at me now giggling as I told Thal'ena a joke made by Pinkie Pie as well as a few from Discord, she giggled as well as my three mates sitting near us; in a small circle, "Lucy seems to enjoy her company anyways."
Miss Lana quickly nodded and also winced again as she softly stated sorry, and quickly left.
"IF Arthas has a blade like that mixed with that kind of power… I for one won't be happy to be placed as such like she is." M-Aunt Adagio commented to my cousin, Mommy, and those not playing with me as they also nodded in agreement. I was curious as to what female spirit was in Arthas's blade though, as well from I glanced briefly to Miss Jaina, who was thinking as they began to discuss things amongst themselves, I felt she also thought that as well.
It has been at least a few hours later as me and Thal'ena began to play another game I taught her: Red-Light, Green-Light until those very doors opened, and to what we all saw now was making me now tilt my head in confusion, pausing our game as well as getting everyone's attention to the female looking angel I guessed in looks to myself, as she also bowed and stated in a echoed voice, but more feminine as we could clearly tell, "My King wishes you to all come to the Commute Hall to eat your fill, and then be lead to your chambers as it is now seven o' five at night. Please everyone, follow thy self."
Myself as well as everyone knew how dangerous this place might be in secret, from what I overheard Miss Jaina telling us that is, we complied as to the angel's shock, my backpack suddenly appeared and was also now on my shoulders.
Though I didn't see the gaping looks to those that haven't seen my enchanted bag as such, but they were given looks for later by my Mommy, but in secret as she is bound to that blade, the angel had no choice later on but to tell the king this bit as well as to what she overheard from their conversations, as earlier, Miss Jaina asked about me in curiosity.
As we were being led by the angel now, I answered like Thal'ena did so, to both of our questions. Most of which was just curious ones mixed with about our lives, as I didn't see both my Mom-Aunt Adagio, Mommy, and Star to give me a relived look as a made another friend, but this time around my age. Though Thal'ena jumped slightly at my stomach growling as so did the angel lady; who gave me a weird look, but kept leading us to the hall she mentioned.
Thal'ena was also curious about my tail as I told her about that race without seeing a minor worried look from my family at admitting that out loud as well a fearing to those who might overhear as such. Keri was also amused by how loud my stomach was as well. Sadly later-on it was indeed heard by those with now sudden interest as well as secret spies to a few others from specific groups, that easily placed themselves within this place.
It took the angel to led us at least twelve minutes… or it would have if we were all not stunned at seeing a lot of undead-like personals doing things tasked to them, as well as ignoring us as Miss Lana's words were true. Though when we did get to the hall the angel mentioned, my mouth was quickly watering to the hidden amusement of my family and April.
It was a very, and I mean a very long, long table filled with all kinds of foods that were somehow fully cooked and fresh. At the very end of the very huge feast as I had to wipe my mouth of my spit showing with my left sleeve, which I didn't notice quickly absorbed and dried quickly, was Arthas as he had nothing but a goblet near him.
We sat on opposite sides as well as him now suddenly look like he was dreading from the strange look in my eyes as I still eyed the food as he said carefully to us before I could even dig into the yummy-looking food here, "As I spoken earlier: No harm will come to you as you well know, and this food is indeed fresh as well as cooked to perfection without anything added to make you sick afterwards. So please, enjoy-" I quickly took that as my Que to start eating to my Mommy's hand-to-mouth with her trying to suppress her laughter like the few others at the stunned form of the Lich King, as I quickly began to eat as much as possible now.
Despite him being interrupted however, Arthas was secretly a mixture of both horrified as well as strangely fascinated, as how much I ate.
Thal'ena was only gaping at me for a few moments and then shrugging to herself as she gathers her own food as well as the others after a few moments of seeing me eat like what part of my bloodline does to me, and it was pure silence the entire time.
Keri also gaped at first before gigging at how fast I was eating as she too joined; as her flight earlier made her appetite go up slightly.
Afterwards, Arthas now led us to a long hallway after he told us to follow him... or firmly ordered us that is, and after a long wait of walking as well as seeing the undead doing their own thing with them also quickly bowing, kneeling, or other things when they saw him, we came to a chamber of sorts; once he opened a set of two doors that is. The chamber contained regular beds from silk as well as animal skins, and also a few other things making us know this might be either a guest chamber, or a chamber to simply rest.
"This is where you will be staying the entire time, as I am sure you have either memorized my citadel by now," he gave Miss Jaina as well as Aunty Sky; who was mostly silent at the moment, a look at as he then continued, "so for now, rest as well in the morning… I would have to use more food then tonight for the Harmony Child's appetite for the stay." I blushed lightly at that as I couldn't help it at times.
From what I now recalled from Grandpa; that bloodline mixed with his, would do this all the time with me if my power of any sort as I would eventually be trained to harness a lot of different types when I get a chance, will do that to me to quickly after the next day, to regain it instantly. But from what I also felt I would only gain half of that, as of what I did for my Mommy earlier today.
I saw the Lich King glanced to what I think was a raised eyebrow at Thal'ena but simply ignored it as earlier I didn't realize he sent her mother to a specific area within Northrend, the apparent one of five continents this world has on Azeroth thanks to a specific event, so something bad would happen to her. "The Blood Princess will remain with your group for the time being. However if she is, she will be tested along with you all, as well." I as well as the others saw Thal'ena shiver in slight fear at that, making me worry at what kind of test it is for us as Arthas now left us with also locking the doorway that rose out of the ground itself.
I yawned as Mommy then tucked me in as well as Aunty Sky, to her confused look.
I didn't mind it though as it was just like Aunty Mal's time back then; during my month. I then fell quickly asleep after I heard a soft melody sung by Aunty Sky that was familiar to me. I also didn't realize after I went to sleep, they would be having a conversation as from all that food, I was quickly unconscious.
Normal POV:
Everyone was slightly surprised as Lucy as well as the Blood Princess quickly fell to sleep by a unknown lullaby Sindragosa sang; to mostly Lucy, as the two girls were sleeping on the same beds to Lucy's current mate's ire that was clearly hidden, yet shown also in their eyes.
Sindragosa only shrugged her shoulders as the former undead-drake then looked away, her face with Sindragosa also blushing lightly a dark-grey because of her skin color with her also softly stating now to everyone, once again surprising Jaina as a result. Though the ones that knew Lucy the most, only gave sad looks of understanding at her words as well. "It was a song taught to me by Lily, for Lucy. I figured for once as I fully remembered everything now, to sing it to her as it usually kept the nightmares Little Star would gain, away." Then she clenched her left-fist tightly as currently they were all in rows of beds near each other, as well as there being certain number of beds as well as two queen-size beds within the chamber.
Sindragosa then stated loudly, more to herself then to them, still with understanding looks as Sunset came up carefully to Sindragosa at the same time, "How can I be so stupid! If I didn't return to Azeroth to deal with the Possessed Malygos, then I would have been able to watch over my Godchild as I should have done back then." When Sunset gently touched the drake's left-shoulder as she sat on Sindragosa's claimed mattress, she jumped as well as quickly looked to her with them seeing unshed tears in Sindragosa's eyes, but they were that of blood.
Jaina knew why she has those types of tears as to what the dragon has been through. Even hearing the story from the history texts back at the library the Kirin Tor has didn't done true justice to the dragon herself. Knowing her former friend and crush back then, he only wanted to use his so-called allies he brought back to his own need to rule over Azeroth, like all other known villains that both the Horde and the Alliance, has encountered over the years.
"You have no blame at all for whatever it is you could have done to stop it. What matters is that you're here now, as well as the rest of Lucy's family currently here also, OK?" Sunset now reassured the Ex-Undead Drake, as she was inwardly surprised as to how both cold as well as warm this dragon's skin tone was.
Adagio also eventually came over and sat on the other side of the dragon; not used to comforting adults but mostly children, especially little girls as she only patted the dragon's back as well as to avoid the wings, knowing back in Equestria as it was forbidden to touch the wings of any type of dragon unless your either family, or in a relationship with those without knowledge as such, specific spots on each drake would be sensitive to only a slight touch. Let's just say it would be in-terms a violation of sorts.
April and Jaina though had curious looks yet Jaina's was with a mixture of suspicion at what Sindragosa stated about the former leader of the Magical Drakes; the Blue Dragonflight. April at the moment was communicating with thoughts to the Aeon Crystal yet also listening at the same time, but Jaina's next words made the three; the two teens and the dragon to look to the mage then with Sindragosa using her bare-left-arm to wipe her unshed tears from her orbs.
"You just said Malygos was possessed, correct?" In slight confusion to the mage's question, Sindragosa only nodded a yes to her without words as Jaina in-turn asked another one with her arms crossed as well as a thoughtful look mixed with both confusion, and also hesitation in her eyes, "What was the dragon possessed by Sindragosa?"
What the dragon stated next shocked them all as April, Sunset, and Adagio knew what must of happened to the male dragon back then but also kept this to themselves as they merely listened to what Sindragosa was clearly speaking now. "I don't really know what he was possessed by, but he revealed he was a host to some kind of shadow-like power of sorts; Granting him more knowledge as in truth, my former flight was seekers of any or all kinds of magical knowledge as to what I still believe they still do so, as such. Before I… was slain; After I stated my decreed last words by our Draconic Law, I then saw two specific symbols on his forehead."
Since the situation was currently different right now, Jaina among her person, has a spare piece of blank parchment as she intended earlier to write a letter as she has at least three of them, and used her magic to shift a torn-up cloth from her chosen bed to make a writing utensil of sorts and gently gave it to Sindragosa and also asked her kindly, surprising the drake inwardly at the human mage's kindness, despite the earlier threats she recalled while not in-control of herself these past few years at her, to draw said symbol.
Once she was done with the two symbols as Sindragosa recalled on them being side-by-side on his forehead, she handed the drawn page back to Jaina then. Jaina quickly paled to everyone's notice, and since Lucy's mates were quietly talking amongst themselves as well as listening to the others at the same time, knew this might be about why Lucy's godmother/aunt didn't claim her as she did. "These two symbol's you drew, are you sure that was what you saw before your death?" Sindragosa as well as the others grew worried from the firm mixed with minor feared look on the mages face as she spoke her words quickly as well as carefully to the dragon, which Sindragosa only nodded firmly yet with both being worried like the rest of them; but also confusion in her eyes now.
Jaina sighed to herself to the more confusion of the other's as she then firmly stated to everyone; as the mage also at the same time, looked back onto the paper to make sure she went seeing things yet knew from what the dragon stated, was true, "It would seem, that a demon as well as someone with darkness got to him somehow. If what the symbols that you saw is what they truly are, Sindragosa, then it would mean that besides the upcoming threat of the Lich King himself; as he is going to keep us from going anywhere I imagine, we might be facing against someone who is planning a lot of things with it quickly leading upwards to something eventually… big, as the best as I can describe it."
April sensed as well as the others from what they felt from hearing those words coming from the mage, knew whatever the symbols that were drawn by the dragon, as she passed said item around to them as well as Lucy's two mates, didn't understand what they were on the first one, but the other the three teen girls did since they read from the book, quickly paled as they took noticed of the other.
The second symbol was that to the dark-race known as Corruptions.
Now curious as both Rosa and Mia decided to take a nap or so on the bed near Lucy along with Keri, with the aid of Jaina when they asked; since it has been ten minutes of nothing since after that of course. The mage now asked the three teen girls with a raised eyebrow, crossing her arms as the paper was now laying on her bed with ease, as well as Sindragosa looking at them with a look as if she knew that they already know what one of them was. "You three know of what the unknown symbol means, don't you?" It was also with a slight accusation to the three teen girls from the mages words as well.
"Yes," began Sunset as the other two looked relieved it wasn't them going to be speaking about this minor reveal to the ones that don't know at all, "But it was mostly listening to Lucy's grandfather as well as a soul-bound book Lucy owns; that is truly connected to my daughter." Both Jaina as well as Sindragosa understood as Sunset briefly looked to her sleeping daughter since they saw her purring like a housecat, to their hidden amusement; but kept to the task at hand still as the three teen girls did their best to describe as best to their knowledge as to who or what is after not only this world they suggested, but Lucy as the two didn't know why Arthas or the others declared Lucy this "Harmony Child" or one of twelve of them that is.
It took some time for the three to carefully explain what they know to them, and needless to say, they were in shock of course, but they didn't fully liked at how Lucy was formally treated back at England from the two's looks. Sindragosa more so as she was feeling more guilty of hearing what they mostly know of what was told by Lucy herself, and tried to not grip the sheets of her chosen mattress hard or rip them as her claws briefly showed to make her inwardly surprised as that man, Xemnas told her she was like this forever more yet she still felt like she was a dragon through and through still at the same time.
My Little Star must be stronger as to handle that kind of treatment against those she was never meant to be placed with. Even I after the rough treatment I wouldn't even managed to survive like from this… Vernon Dursley placed upon my godchild, will suffer my wrath as well as those involved. Still I have met with Petunia once before and I am surprised she didn't stop the abuse from happening, but what I think could of occurred was that old fool's doing. Sindragosa now thought hard to herself while also listening with her ears; thankfully her senses are still like dragons. Sindragosa although gazed briefly to Lucy as with the Ex-Undead Drake merely nodding to everything they agreed upon on by making sure nothing bad happens, with them all talking about the test the next day; as well as knowing it is late at night at the same time. This time I will make-up for the lost years I never got to have with you Little Star, and that is a dragon's promise.
Jaina did a spell for everyone that wanted privacy with the mage also transfiguring some of her own top-bedding into curtains and rails with ease, and quickly placed around April's and hers bed-spots. The two other teens however, once again blushed as they had to share the other queen-sized bed that was there; as there weren't enough other beds at the moment to sleep by themselves.
They all quickly went to sleep... well all but two specific teens as well as in secret, Sindragosa, as her own thoughts were now of the past deeds she done while under control of the Lich King himself as a resurrected dragon, would no doubt would give her nightmares for a long time. She knew somehow that Lucy was the cause of her newfound freedom as the entire time, the dragon also knew from who knows how long as Sindragosa indeed do horrible things under that man's name, but knew she couldn't fight it at all.
Sindragosa quickly froze now as well as with her listening to Lucy's adopted mother; Sunset, and her Aunt Adagio from what the female dragon recalled Lucy titling them as such. They talked for some time until the topic shifted to what peeked the dragon's interest now. "Lucy is indeed a trouble magnet Adagio, but I love her anyways despite that. But are you slightly surprised we encountered another of Lucy's godparents?"
Sindragosa slowly yet surely acted as she turned to face them now, but the female dragon had her eyes opened to make it that she sleeps like that to them, as she also has years of practice thanks to Arthas's brutal attacks to make her do so and after a few moments they looked relieved.
The two teens then continued speaking once again with Adagio now answering for her, despite being slightly freaked out from Sindragosa's attempt to make them think she was sleeping at the moment, "It is strange, but it is an encounter we might end-up having a lot I somehow feel though; Who knows how many others were declared as such, Sunset Shimmer." Sindragosa saw Sunset sigh as they sat-up now, with the covers still clinging to their frames, part-way, as she now gave the Siren a soft yet now worried look for some reason; making Adagio curious as to why the teen next to her had said look. "I don't mind Lucy having more family to look forward to… It's just that knowing how the system goes… I-I just don't want to have her being taken, from me."
Seeing Adagio's look to her now, Sunset sighed again as to what she stated next, touched the dragon briefly as she understood that feeling. "Don't get me wrong. I know Lucy isn't my daughter by blood, but her magic did choose me from what she dubbed me since the beginning. And to tell you the truth Adagio," Sunset now looked to her as she had her face away while she also spoke at the time, a warmth of love was in Sunset's eyes as she said her next words to the Siren; not seeing as it was slightly dark in the room, the Siren's eyes herself also softening in realization as to how deep Lucy and Sunset's relationship as a mother and daughter was. "That time when Lucy had her relapse that day thanks to Frandas, I felt like I was already her mother at the time; despite her magic declaring it as such. Even earlier that very day I just felt a strange connection ever since I woke up, and when we saw you and your siblings, and finally Lucy the very first time at the office. It was then I knew, she was the one I felt the most."
Sunset then sighed one more time, but sadly as if she was also debating something within her head first before now speaking to Adagio, wondering why she now looked even sadder now and was also now curious when she spoke next. "In fact I didn't even tell you something as all the times I told you about who I really am, I kept this secret… Even from my own friends." Now not only Adagio was curious even more, but this peeked the dragon's sudden interest as this was part of Lucy's past as well as also this teen girl's she had to guess, but she froze yet remained still to make sure Sindragosa was still sleeping, but she did see Adagio now had shocked eyes at Sunset to what the teen girl then revealed.
"As you know the history between my Former Nobody-turned-to-a-Somebody, right? What I'm telling you happened later on after I was healed up. I ended up going to the hospital once again for another type of condition that wasn't caused by me this time; as this time it was caused by a drunk driver that was out of town. It was too fast as I didn't expect it as I was merely walking by myself. Back then, I didn't have anyone to look or turn to. But on that day I was also watched as it occurred since I was about to be on the school grounds by both Principals. I did turn my body to see why they were shouting at me for... Until it was too late, and the next I felt myself go unconscious quickly. Afterwards when I woke-up from a mini-coma, it turned out justice was done as this was his third time hitting someone while drunk, but to me; a child at that time. But the bad part of this is what I found out as back… home, I wanted a family all to my own Adagio, even if I had to get it in this world; especially since I was an orphan back in Equestria." Sunset was silent for a few moments, yet the teenager tried to keep her feelings in from recalling the news, yet it quickly crumbled.
"But do you want to know wh-why I love Lucy more than anything, even as to what happened back then I wouldn't change it if I wanted to?" Sunset then asked after a few moments pause to the Siren; who hesitated as Adagio now saw as her eyes were getting used to the dark within the room, tears slowly falling down Sunset's eyes as if this was a very bad time for the teen, and it kicked her in the gut as well as made Sindragosa now secretly looked to Sunset in pity to what she stated next in sadness, and also slight despair. "Th-The doctors st-stated to me as I was smarter than average, I.. I couldn't have any kids as they had to remove shards that were in my womb; Severely damaging the inside to the point nothing would grow inside of me, a-at all. Making me as of now from that man's accidental driving, in-infertile."
Sunset briefly hesitated, but slowly lifted her shirt up, seeing the sad eyes of the Siren made her quickly look away as despite what the doctors did for saving Sunset's life once again back then, as this time it was too close of a call, were scars of her stitching as well as burn-like marks on her body that wasn't revealed as to when she became her… other self during the dance, or even when she was changed to this it was still in effect of her not having any children; despite her inwardly hoping from this change it would work as well.
In fact secretly to what Kaos did to her as she is right now, something new or never before seen; since Sunset also felt if she did go back to her original home, she would always look like this forever; as Sunset Shimmer was fused with her human form somehow with her hidden heritage as a Alicorn/hybrid of sorts, into this one. To do that he used that same table that Lucy was held-down upon, but instead of injecting, he forced her to consume something his ally sent a while back as a… gift of sorts to do so, down her own throat by force; and it tasted horrible like blood of sorts mixed with gasoline. Eventually she passed out from the sudden, fire-like pain that quickly spread all to her body and when she woke-up she was as such on couch on the Skylanders world. The time it took for her to pass out was at least seven minutes of hell, so to speak, as well as feeling that burning pain for that long.
Sunset was surprised as she cried without a sound to herself, but quickly stiffened in slight surprise as Adagio didn't even know why she did this at this moment of time, but felt a need to do so by now gently comforting the other teen girl; who made said Siren quickly stiffen in surprise as to how Sunset hugged her with tears still flowing down her own face. Eventually as Adagio didn't know what to do but simply held her gently, seeing that she was currently upset over this still after so many years, Sunset past-out while crying in her arms.
It was that moment that after Adagio laid and also tucked-in Sunset; Sindragosa chose that time to speak, freezing the Siren in place as well as quickly snapping to look at the female dragon's direction. "It would seem to my own eyes girl, is that you care truly about this other teenager. Why is that?" Adagio saw that Sindragosa was now sitting up on her mattress as it was next to theirs, and on the other side was a now deep-sleeping Lucy and her mates, and looked to her sharply.
The Siren then stated firmly with her still sitting next to Sunset as well as at the same time, to not bother her sleeping form; changing the subject also. "How long were you listening on our conversation?" Sindragosa merely shrugged to Adagio as she responded as if it wasn't a personal issue, but her eyes held pity still as they briefly gazed at Sunset's form as well, "The entire time. I was merely curious as to how truly my Godchild's past was. But I didn't expect to hear a true secret her magical mother stated a few moments ago to you, in fact."
Adagio now placed her right-hand to her face in minor agitation as she must of also heard the embarrassing pranks that was told on most of them during that month by a team-up with Lucy and Discord back then, but now sighed as she crossed her arms firmly as well as giving a pointed look to Sindragosa with Adagio mutely agreeing hesitantly with her; recalling she was an Ex-Undead Drake not too long ago, "I agree… Despite not truly knowing who you are; except what your name is of course." Sindragosa nodded to her words also in agreement, yet she didn't want to tell others of her horrible deeds just yet, but somehow knew the mage already knows most of her dirty work under his spell, yet the female dragon now seemed smug; with Sindragosa also crossing her arms as well as her wings twitching in amusement, seeing Adagio unknowingly touching the currently-free hand of Sunset Shimmers that wasn't at all covered up. "Besides that part, Adagio wasn't it? How come I can sense something personal happening between the both of you?"
Sindragosa now grinned softly to herself as she saw the Siren had a deeper tint to her cheeks as Adagio also began to deny it quickly, also motioning it as well as well as softly stating, to not wake the others up, "I-I don't know what you're talking about. I was just… comforting her. Yes that is what I was truly doing." Sindragosa now inwardly facepalmed at Adagio denying her own feelings to the other teenager, knowing from the scent of the two they were perfect for each other yet they seemed to be also oblivious to each other's actions, at most times.
Sindragosa only raised a delicate eyebrow as she now stated in not believing the teen for a minute, "Right… And I wasn't born yesterday." The female dragon then began to tap her nose, making Adagio confused by this gesture until she froze quickly at what Sindragosa then stated to the Siren next. "We drakes can detect scents on others very easily, even if we are no longer… alive as such in the ways of that damn man. But the reason I truly know this is that I can smell that both you and her, are perfect for each other. So don't go around and try to deny it, since I can see a slow yet quickly building crush that is turning into something… more later on. between you two."
Adagio was about to truly deny her again, but paused as she recalled all those months, even with the month with Lucy being housesat as she was told to not leave at all back then, to now. She didn't see Sindragosa's smug look as the Siren had wide-eyes at this, briefly glancing at Sunset's still sleeping form while doing so. It-it can't be possible… Could it? I mean, if what I have been recalling for a few moments of our time that is when were together, I felt my heart sped up when she touched my hands sometimes, as well as blushing when I chastised myself for checking her out; As well as some things within my dreams and the embarrassing times as well. I can't believe to think that I'm… I'm…. "I'm in love with her." Adagio stated softly to herself, now realizing that riddle Aeroza told her a while back.
Adagio now gazed once again to Sunset's form, then looked annoyed as she saw the smug-like grin and pose of Sindragosa, and stated to her firmly with annoyance in her voice, looking briefly away from the dragon's gaze to her own form. "Ok. Laugh it up; I admit it I am in love with her, alright?" Sindragosa only gave a soft look at Adagio in understanding, yet she said softly to her that made Adagio's eyes looked to her in confusion as well as her posture now, knowing she is tired as she also yawned at the same time, "You have indeed admitted it to yourself Adagio, but you have yet to willing say it in front of your heart's face. Though now isn't the right time or even later on to declare, as such."
Adagio, now slightly wary from the solemn look Sindragosa now had on her delicate face now, asked hesitantly as the female dragon only gestured for her to sleep like a mother would to a child, to her annoyance that is. "You say as if something bad will happen tomorrow?" Sindragosa stunned her as she now stated softly; as Sindragosa was also surprised she was for once after being an undead…. or a former undead drake that can no longer change into her draconic form anymore, from what Xemnas done to her told her this. Her voice also was toned to minor anger at not her, but at a certain someone. "I don't just feel it, I know it will. Knowing how Arthas truly works after he became to what he is, he will place your niece; my godchild, and Sunset's daughter into a situation that will be harsh, for her."
Adagio reluctantly agreed, as she of course knew that this person once served under the man's rule, but not any longer Adagio now assumed to her relief.
The Siren yawned once more as Sindragosa softly giggled briefly before stating gently to the Siren, with no objections to this at all from the dragons words. "We will know what he has in-store for us on the morrow, till then we need to sleep." Sindragosa was amused as Adagio stayed awake as long as she can be, but passed out quickly with her unknowingly wrapping her right arm with Sunset's form, and also seeing a small smile on Sunset's face at this.
Sindragosa now sighed to herself now as Sindragosa also looked over at where Lucy is as she was now getting comfortable to sleep after so long to the former undead drakes' minor happiness. I just hope it isn't anything to horrible. But knowing the Lich King's ways, he will do so to upset not only I, but my Little Star's kin. Sindragosa briefly frowned yet now sighed peacefully as she began to rest.
Not knowing to everyone in a Shadowed World, Xemnas is busy with speaking to someone as we speak.
The Shadowed World; Old Harmonis, Leader's Chambers within the Shadow Pyramid:
Xemnas after returning from the world known as Azeroth, now calmly headed to his master's main living chambers, as the person he begrudgingly now work under is none other than Ansemakku, formally the eldest sibling to the Vontrillizo family from the regular name: Sameen, the Warrior of Hope and Just.
The Nobody, Xemnas, doesn't truly know what or how his master came to be but merely decided to let matters drop before something else worse might occur, as he has also witnessed the wrath of his master in action a few times; with just being in his spirit form.
Once Xemnas came to the double doors that showed clearly in design to also split into the middle, a blackened-ivory skull etched into white ivory woodwork, he then softly knocked as each of his master's servants decided to give a specific-type of knock to let Ansemakku know who is coming to visit. "Enter Xemnas." A powerful voice stated on the other side, and if he had a heart, he would be feeling a small amount of fear, but alas as a Nobody to his own mind, he doesn't have one. Yet he also knows as well he now has one at the same time, in which truly confuses said man still.
Inside the room as Xemnas walked calmly and then kneeled in front of an empty throne made of dragon bone mixed with three unknown metallic materials not known to the Nobody at all; was made to not only show comfort, but also fear in design as bedchambers of sorts. There was also a bed, but it looks medieval as well as the basic design to the chamber itself. The main colors though were silver, black, and blood-red. There was also a window that shown a familiar moon the Nobody knew as he sought out that very moon itself; as the moon was in-shape of a heart. On the walls however, were specific rows upon rows of glowing orbs about the size of a baseball, in which they all secretly contain innocent lives of people that have survived their world's destruction, and yet have been to be sent-away; to be finally free as living beings for a new world to call their own. Most of which originally came from the world currently these orbs are on. There was even above the said throne Xemnas is still kneeling in respect for, is a strange weapon in a deadly-looking shape of a grim reaper's scythe of sorts.
Suddenly a dark-like mist began to form around the throne itself very quickly, and shaped to that of a person; simply sitting with both hands on the throne chairs, and legs together yet placed onto said throne as the same voice from what was heard before, now spoke from said mist. "You have pleased me for some time, Xemnas. But you have also at the same time, sent to our somewhat new ally for the moment, as a prisoner in his citadel on Azeroth. Did you not hear of me telling you to make sure the child herself, is to not be harmed?"
Xemnas only bowed as he knew it would be costly to what he has to say, but he kept his neutral face as the Nobody now gazed at the mist while still kneeling and then stated in a calm tone, "I have Master. But I made a temporary alliance with the Lich King for a reason: To have materials we don't have needed for your projects, My Liege, as well as other things you wanted done swiftly. In return however we will soon betray the Lich King's trust in us, when the time is right. You yourself as well as a few with the gift of temporary sight, know of his eventual demise of the mortals on his own world."
It was silence for a few moments until the mist, Ansemakku, then stated in agreement; despite his orders slightly turned out for not only the worst, but for the better from what he just heard his servant stated. "You are correct of what I have of my many upon many goals as such, Xemnas. So I will allow your single mistake to pass… For now. But you must also be cautious despite the power I bestowed upon yourself: Power when used right is a big advantage to yourself, but to others not so much as it is also a weakness at the same time." Ansemakku paused as he thought to himself for a few moments, knowing he is essentially a spirit mostly as his body was transformed into shards of sorts along with certain other things in doors in which he needs the Children of Harmony themselves, with the specific lights to open said doors to return what is his, back.
But now the specter looked and also gazed at the entity's frozen in time, within the Collector Orbs on each of his walls, and then raised his left-spectral-hand as he decided to let a few go now and maybe find even better spots to place said world he plan on taking in later, and they floated to Xemnas as he caught all three orbs with the Nobody's eyes also showing true curiosity, but without the emotion on his face.
After all this time, secretly that is, the spirit is a minor fusion of both Sameen, and the original Corruption King himself and yet they mutely agreed to share as such to get things done to what the Darkness wills it. So in terms, only a portion of the original person he once was, would show itself from time-to-time; like to what he has done by collecting these orbs as such.
Before he could ask him, Ansemakku now ordered Xemnas while gesturing easily as if it wasn't a waste at all from what he has done, "Free those orbs as they have been in my wall long enough. Eventually I will free more of those innocents of my people… my former people as such Xemnas. In fact send them as a… gift of sorts on my supposed brother's doorstep. For you see, I have a few captured worlds that were taken in by the Heartless in mind for those three spots." Xemnas wordlessly nodded once, and turned to leave but before he could even head-out he paused as some final words were spoken by his master to him, making him glance to the mist as a result with his gloved hands on the door. "Be forewarned Xemnas: If you betray me, then your deal which is very soon… will be forfeit. As well as I want you to check on something also after you send the Orbs to him."
Intrigued yet knew of what deal he made as Terra, since the former Master of the Keyblade of course was revived not too long ago, he recalled the other female, Aqua her name was, still trapped within the Realm of Darkness, along with him now… and he wanted her freed for personal reasons.
"As to what you want me to do as such, My Liege?" Xemnas asked now, as he was waiting a response. Ansemakku now stated in finality to Xemnas, briefly making his eyes widen briefly before returning to his neutral look, at the words, "Head back to Azeroth as I have a few…. contacts that have made a decision of my offer I laid upon them, in the Realm of Dreams. Sweeten the deal if they accept to something I can easily do for them as such. Then check on Project: Vassal, as well." Xemnas now nodded as he finally left, closing the doors gently behind him.
The specter now sat in silence with pure-red eyes now showing as he had them closed the entire time, demonic ones as he chuckled to himself now, bringing out a crystal ball that was the same size as the Orbs themselves as Ansemakku also now gazed into its depths.
Within the sphere was an image of Lucy peacefully sleeping as well as the others with him now thinking to himself aloud with a unseen grin on his spiritual face, "I think I would… influence the so-called test for myself to see if she has what it takes for my latest creation I redone by a specific entity known as a Sha… Afterwards a week later to also face with the true one. In fact I hope she would love the… reunion of what or even who I secretly used as such, is. He he… HA HA HA HA!"
The Head Shadowlord now laughed to himself as he then went into the crystal ball and it lazily floated and also settled down on the middle of the bed as it dimmed.
Even though he played it off, he knew his meetings as well as within his chambers were being spied upon by the Legion as well as other forces, yet let them have their so-called fun as his goals outstrips even them.
The entity now began to plot within his so-called temporary object as Project: Vassal, is what he truly yarns for.
Lucy's POV, the next day:
I slept soundly for once, as in secret I have been having… nightmares once again of my treatment with my so-called Uncle Vernon as well as things that involved not only my Mommy, but those I know as in each different scenario: I couldn't save them at all.
It has been at least three days or so since they began once again.
I was also annoyed as my lumps on my chest were annoying me once again; as they also moved, but I still have to get used to my body still as such from that potion that was spilled upon me since it is permanent... until I look the age I am, which is fourteen or so, after Grandpa finally checked me of course.
I glanced to see from a window I didn't notice till now; an open-aired one you would see in old castles that is, that it was way-early in the morning. I also smiled briefly to myself at seeing both Rosa and Mia clinging to me gently, but I was confused at the positions they went into as last night they were back-to side against me. Even Keri was as such like the other two, but her head was on my waist and her body sprawled on both Mia and Rosa. I inwardly shrugged as I ignored the words now coming from both Cell and Frieza as they muttered oblivious or something as such to my real mom and Kurama; since they also agreed for once.
I slowly yet surely got up as I saw mostly everyone was asleep except both Miss Jaina and Aunty Sky, who now took notice as they were on her bed discussing something to themselves, and Aunty Sky took this time to give me a small, warm smile on her face as she also crossed her arms under her chest, and stated to me gently, "Morning Little Star, I see you slept truly all night like you should be." I gave her a confused one mixed with being in minor shock, as I then stated briefly to her, "How did you know about-" "Your nightmares Lucy?" Aunty Sky questioned me kindly as well as also stopping me of asking my own question.
Now both Miss Jaina and Aunty Sky had a knowing look as if they had them too, and my aunt/godmother then stated softly as she also got up and gently placed her hands on both of my shoulders, still curious as to how I look like this now inwardly but decided to ask later as the very bond between us and the others of all my godparents, would only mention brief things to each of them.
"Let's say you tend to talk in your sleep slightly, Little Star." Aunty Sky then told me with a small smile, an understanding one. I blushed to her lightly yet I was curious to ask, since I barely recalled the current nickname she is using right now, and she saw I had a question as Miss Jaina was merely silent yet observing us. Also the others seeing me talking with my aunt/godmother now as our talking woke them up, now pretended to be sleeping to hear us. "Why do you keep calling me Little Star mostly Aunty Sky, I don't look like a star?"
Aunty Sky chuckled as Miss Jaina also seemed to be curious as well as she used her magic to clean herself to my surprise, but I kept looking at my Aunty Sky as she then stated in minor humor to me now with a brief explanation. "When you were little still and I was still around back then, you somehow made an actual star out of you wishing to bring light to our hearts; From your own magic. But the star itself was only the size of a small golf-ball, and could easily pass for a sparkling trinket or sorts. Yet the star did just that, made us warm and happy for the amount of time we had with you as you indeed wore it around your neck." I noticed as she led me to sit next to Miss Jaina, who seemed to have no objections as she also noticed Aunty Sky's current look on her face.
I then asked her in concern on both my own face and voice, placing a hand to her right hand, inwardly surprising her yet she seemed sad still. "Why you sad Aunty Sky, you ok?" She sighed to herself shortly, before looking at me with a happy/sad mixed smile on her face, and ruffled my hair to my minor annoyance as I don't like my hair ruffled, to which I think she already knew as Aunty Sky then stated softly yet clearly being heard as such to me mostly. "It was a month ago I dubbed you that nickname as well as a few others to call you as such, Little Star, but it was also the time that something occurred later on past that as I didn't know... Since I went back as it was during the month of your birthday, a bad thing happened to what I was secretly told by my comrade; who I hope is alive still, she was young back then of course."
Aunty Sky then had glazed eyes as if she was recalling whoever my godmother was talking about, but sighed as she merely shook her head as she also now looked to me in case for some reason, I wanted to change my own mind, "You are old enough to know things Little Star, Lucy, as thankfully I found out your real mother was half-immune to the attack; as well as a few others, but do you want to know what I was told before my own death?"
I was slightly surprised my Aunty Sky somehow died, yet I inwardly shivered at how she reacted when we first encountered each other back at the temple yesterday. Seeing the Lich King in person yesterday… I felt he was controlled yet felt he had to take-over this planet I guess. But his gaze did make me slightly afraid to him as for some reason also, he felt like an alpha while wearing that helm; which is weird for my thought in my head to think of as such.
I did however wanted to truly know as yes, I agreed with not only my Aunty Sky's words, but my real mom's as I have been; if I didn't get nightmares that is, visiting the four… well five as I heard only Arisa, but yet have I saw her within my Inner Heart.
I looked to my godmother now, despite her eyes were still sad somewhat, seeing I made my choice I nodded once while softly stating, fearing as to what I might hear despite my decision now, "Yes." From what Aunty Sky began speaking now in a mixture of slight remorse with sadness now in her voice as well as positioning herself to look right at me as well as also making herself comfortable, made me not only to be inwardly shocked as well as my real mom inside me, as she later on would look into it herself within her own memories to see if it was true. But to see her going through emotional pain I figured, as I saw it in her eyes.
"Well… Where to start" Aunty Sky questioned to herself aloud and then sighed as she now began to speak again, sadness slightly shown while doing so as Aunty Sky mostly gazed at me, not caring if Miss Jaina or the others she sensed besides me, were pretending to sleep. "From what I was told before my own false sentence back then, it happened only a few days of being imprisoned as well as sentenced to death by my Former Blue Dragonflight Alpha: Malygos, that mostly everyone was at an open yet hidden field of flowers and few trees, to have a picnic of sorts. The reason for that is my comrade was there on that day but was thankfully one of the immune to have their memory blocked by him, the currently still Headmaster to a school that your own real mother tried to get you out of. But I think she was somehow successful in her will; but knowing the old fool, it was probably blocked."
Aunty Sky looked pained as she began speaking more from her words, as she continued, looking briefly away as she did so since I then saw a blood-red tear to my surprise of the color itself, fell and landed on the mattress, "It was too quick as it wasn't just him that ambushed their relaxation time with you, Little Star, but a few others that was secretly involved in your mother's demise. My comrade at that point quickly casted a same-single-minded spell on most of the others as she could before it was too late; From the very wand Dumbledore wielded after having those eventually being involved later-on, ending your mother and nearly yourself, I imagine? She pretended as well as those that were immune thankfully by her wandless casting from her own thoughts, were one by one sent away or given suggestions to return to whence what world they came and never come back, at all. Your mother however pretended at first until Dumbledore told her eldest brother, Kirby Evans, to leave by his wife's world hopper, in which has only a single use to never return to Lost Avalon, and she lost it."
I winced as my real mom began ranting as she recalled now to what the old fool did to her back then; with both Aunty Sky and Miss Jaina noticing. I told them before she could continue my Mom was ranting in my heart, stunning them both as well as slight more pain and knowing in her eyes; as if she must of knew what happened to my real mom.
Despite this, she continued anyways after Miss Jaina placed a pain-relief spell on me as my head was hurting from the yelling my real mom was doing, to which she then quickly apologized for afterwards. Though I saw the two adults were indeed stunned, since I see Aunty Sky look like she is still a teen somewhat, but seems older then she truly is, was motherly somewhat to me as she rubbed my back with her also having at the same time had many questions in her own head.
"Since my comrade was the last one to be sent-back to a specific timed date, she witnessed Dumbledore receiving a potion of sorts, and forcing your mother to drink it, and then cast a different spell on her; Placing a block on her mind from ever recalling all of us. But I think it was thanks to your Uncle Moony I heard, that he was able to purge said potion out of your mother's systems as she had a free day one time, and broke the curse placed upon her mind with partial memories still blocked. After that though, things went south as Dumbledore kept his plans onward, and eventually you know the rest." Aunty Sky jumped as I had tears in my eyes, and not known to me as they tried to keep their own tears back, was my Aunt Adagio and Mommy; as I quickly hugged her with Aunty Sky comforting me, knowing I also flinched when I did so to narrow her eyes, her thoughts on a certain male Dumbledore knew must of done my condition to me, my Uncle Vernon.
Our Godparent bond only showed a fat man, who she didn't see his face but realizes it was him that tortured me as well as other things. As well as hidden ones by Dumbledore doing the same thing with those potions and casting the slightly same but different spell on me like my real mom. Yet afterwards it would easily break.
It was after a few moments later on crying onto my Aunty Sky I stiffened as I felt two pairs of arms, yet realized as I knew them as being both my Mom-Aunt Adagio and Mommy. We talked and stuff as everyone got up now and around, yet decided to speak of this later-on as my gut was now telling me to not only get more food into it, but a feeling of upcoming dread in my heart as well as the gut itself at the same time.
Also to my shock, Zane came back with both his, and my other two's Pokémon; Denise and Pamela's Pokéballs, and said nothing as he somehow knew he just got into a uncomfortable situation now from my eyes looking sad, yet he also eyed Aunty Sky for a few moments before nodding to himself as is she was worthy of something, making my godmother/aunt confused.
Thankfully Miss Jaina casted that same spell she do so to herself earlier on me and the others, making us feel refreshed and also entirely clean before we were then escorted by the same angel to my surprise, to the same place we ate at last night. I also knew my other familiar was hiding and waiting her time since I knew her habits, as a prankster-like snake as well as other things. But I felt that I have another within my backpack for some reason. Especially my backpack once I had it on me, refused to come off when we came to the table.
Zane eventually returned to his own Masterball to rest though.
Thal'ena as well as my mates cheered me up as best as they could as they overhead some parts of Aunty Sky's tale, yet I was only half-happy by the time we ate and stuff as I still felt that small amount of dread from within me, as we didn't see Arthas or otherwise known as the Lich King, at the place at all.
After that we were all then escorted by the angel to a hallway of sorts, making Aunty Sky for some reason, pale even further on her face before looking at me in minor worry.
Before she could say anything, the angel opened the double doors we now came to after trekking for at least eleven minutes of walking, and into a very large opened area of sorts as I also saw wooden dummies against all the walls as well, telling me this might be a combat or training area this place has. The area itself was the size of a football stadium, and the reason I know this is that Rainbow Dash cheers for some football teams on Sundays back home. Up in the upper part as we saw a large balcony was Arthas himself as well as those that currently serve under his command, some of which were three vampires I had to guess that were all male, yet slightly resemble to that of Miss Lana a bit. That undead guy was there as well as a few others I couldn't see as they were behind them as well.
Arthas then began to state to us, making my new friend as well as mostly everyone wary, and me silently gulp since the atmosphere somehow was worse than my feelings of dread even more. His arms were wide with his sword in his left-hand once again, it briefly also glowing to make him pause in curiosity before speaking; as the blade glowed brightly slightly when aimed at my direction. "Your test is to face one of my lieutenants: Professor Putricide's latest creation as it is a fusion of both a Frost Wyrm, and a few other things he discovered near the dragon bones. It is what I hope to achieve later on as a true test against the allies of the light." As he kept speaking we saw a gate that had their symbol I had to guess for myself, as it slowly raised up and the air around that part grew cold and also warm to my confusion as well as mostly everyone's, and what came out as Arthas then finished his words at us all, his sword pointing at me as it glowed once again loudly, "Let the test commence to see if what I heard was true enough about the child herself… Let it begin!"
It was a large dragon like form; like Aunty Sky used to have, but it was smaller, and it seemed to be a fusion of both fire and that blue stuff she used to have as an undead dragon. Though the wings were infusion with flames of a bird of sorts as I saw those golden-glowing eyes, mostly glaring right back at me. The bone's itself were etched in neon-purple glowing runes that I couldn't tell, and it had no horns but a strange orb of sorts that was dim on its forehead. From the way it looks it had to be a female drake like Aunty Sky is when we saw her yesterday as one of them. The female dragon also had two rows of teeth on the top and bottom, and she had a snake-like tongue that stayed in her mouth, which was also pale-purple like the runes; if they didn't glow at all.
I yelped as Aunty Sky quickly picked me up without warning me as the strange dragon breathed fire-like ice at us as to my horror, she somehow froze once she flew quickly at us that is; froze my aunt and my mates to their own stunned faces, and Miss Jaina was using her own spells, mostly her basic ones to break them all out with my shocked eyes, my Mommy's flame infused fist as she looked mad at what happened to M-Aunt Adagio for some reason.
With me in her arms as she flew away from the dragon, as it roared at us as if to state to remain still, we flew left and right as well as dodging lightning to a surprised yelp from me as it was close to my free left-leg it was aimed at for at least a few minutes.
Frustrated now it looked, it quickly landed and began to attack the others as we at the same time, now landed perfectly and I knew this wasn't what I was fearing slightly but also I then attacked with Arisa/Astral Dragoon summoned to not only the spectator's surprise, but Aunty Sky's as I didn't her say something in shock to the weapon now in my hand as with surprising speed, I hacked the dragon as I got into the female undead drakes back, and kept attacking it making it roar slightly in pain with each hit.
Its tail was easily able to break the ice-like structures my family and mates were in, and they had to quickly dodge the tail swipes as it tried to shake me off as I rode the undead female drake-hybrid, like a bucking bull of sorts like I saw Applejack do for a contest I went to on the month, and she won it of course as she stayed on the longest.
I accidentally with Arisa, hacked a glowing rune on her spine, and it suddenly froze stiff, allowing them to help me attack this dragon. After a minute, it roared as I held on once again, and we did the same tactic a few more times.
Not known to all of us, as April used her powers to place me easily back onto the female dragon's back, they were impressed by my skills as well as other things.
After a while it roared as she then fell onto its side, panting in defeat. My Mommy was now looking at her hands in stunned surprise once again as flames that didn't burn her, easily caressed her hands as if it was a glove, dismissed them and Miss Jaina at that time gave my Mommy a look of interest as well as Mo-Aunt Adagio as she only saw this happen, but her entire body at the second time during my month; since we were abducted by a crazy person who wanted my blood for some reason, to bring to life a monster he discovered buried in a town that feared it.
Arthas then congratulated us, though I felt he was also slightly angry as he did under his helm make the scientist undead guy; flinch at as the Lich King also did shout loudly to hear him from where he was. "It would seem your skills were no match for this Phoenix/Dragon fusion we made as a test. As such this was a former child-like blue dragon with a void/ice species of said bird I mentioned. Now," he began to state to mostly me with a gaze as if I must obey, to which I decided to not do so as I saw the hybrid/dragon's eyes widen in fear at this, "Kill the dragon."
Aunty Sky though limped slightly as her left-wing was burnt by the dragon, but understood from what she saw in my eyes at the moment as well as mostly everyone, not seeing the somewhat proud looks on some of their faces, as well as understanding ones as I stated firmly, my eyes narrowed as I felt to what I was saying was right for some reason: "No."
We all saw the Lich King seemed to be briefly stunned at my single word; my eyes still narrowed as I came to the dragon as it then whimpered in submission to me in fear and pain, with me regretting attacking the dragon at all as Miss Jaina knew what I wanted, sighed and against her judgement in her own head, healed the dragon slightly to make it stand. Before he could yell, a bright flash of ice-like fire surrounded the dragon we fought, and we were then stunned as Aunty Sky glared as well as Jaina at Arthas who now in turned, glared at the Professor person.
It was a girl around my age, and she was entirely nude. She had those rune-like markings all over her body before they faded by floating off into the air, and her gem on her forehead now glowed slightly before dimming as the runes before dispersing, got quickly absorbed into the gem itself, and now turned to a purple-hue colored gem. Her body looked to be slightly starved as well as few bruising's on her neck, back, and legs. She also slightly looked like Aunty Sky as she has her hair, and also her wings, but smaller on her back which were also bruised as well, but then went right into the girl's back with ease. She also seemed to be as tall as me as well, but her skin tone was a darker-grey then Aunty Sky's own skin tone, and she also has dragon feet as well as a tail still that was shorter than my godmother/aunt's. Though on her wrists were cuffs I had to guess as if, she was imprisoned before becoming what she was. We also saw her eyes were glowing briefly that same color before dimming and we saw pure-amber eyes looking at us now weakly at her position in fear, as we saw that she couldn't move even if she wanted to.
"What is the meaning of this Putricide? You told me that you gave that dragon the very formula to be a fully grown dragon, not still remaining as a child!" Arthas enraged slightly at the undead man, who only mumbled words back to the Lich King. Miss Jaina quickly took off her one robe she has around her frame, and showing that she was a beauty to behold yet was wearing another set of robes underneath that one that gently clung to her in not only comfort, but with easily showing-off her curves in the right places.
Miss Jaina then before we came over, wrapped it around the girl as she also at the same time with Aunty Sky's help now, lifted her up and carried her with ease thanks to a charm of sorts, out of the partially-destroyed area the girl caused. I also felt that she was a cousin to me for some reason, and not known to me Aunty Sky was inwardly surprised her instincts declared to protect the girl as if the girl was her own child.
Though once we all, as well as my family and mates were right about to go to the now opened doors, they quickly slammed to our surprised looks as well as minor annoyance in Aunty Sky's face as we, before the two adults began to complain to the Lich King, we all, including those in the stands/balcony froze as the area dimmed slightly as well as it suddenly felt like dread-like I felt earlier, shown or felt all around us.
Within the center of the football stadium-based room we fought in now, a mass amount of dark-like mist began to collide quickly to the center, increasing in size and twisting itself into a large shape. I saw one of the others in the area where Arthas and they all are, quickly pale in realization and also spoke softly to them, making everyone as well as the Lich King himself look to the male in shock from what he said.
The mass of what I felt, dread-like emotion kept growing larger and larger until it was at least forty feet tall, and then it took quickly into a shape of a monster. As it was forming, it made a statement that made chills go up our spines quickly, mostly me and everyone with me that is. "I feel the fear in the area that I agreed to deal with the Child of Harmony upon… I also taste the most delicious Dread in the entire area… Most of which from the child herself." Once it fully formed, Miss Jaina paled in realization as to what this thing was as we all quickly looked to her, despite her now having the hybrid girl carefully placed onto her back in worry from her answer now. "I only read about this type of entity at the library, I didn't even know this Sha existed!" She exclaimed at the end.
The monster, a Sha as to what Miss Jaina called it, wickedly chuckled in slight humor to her words and stated intelligently back something that I as well as mostly all of us except a few can understand in a strange language of sort. But those of this world, pale quickly in feared realization on who or what it is when it was done speaking.
Before she could even shout a warning, she as well as my mates, my friend, and my aunt was shoved back and a force field strangely appeared. Realizing what this quickly means from Aunty Sky's sudden wide eyes, she grabbed me rather quickly and shouted to those with us, with their eyes wide with surprise mixed with worry as they when we all moved, were stunned to see a dark-like spike jet upwards from the ground before sinking quickly. "We need to move as often as possible if we are to survive the Seven-Headed God's Breath of Fear! Move!"
The others which included my Momm-Aunt Adagio merely watched in worry as we kept for at least ten or so minutes dodging those strange spikes that appeared randomly while also hitting it when it's shadow-like barrier it made drops.
With this Sha now realizing it didn't land any successful hits, it roared at us loudly and then also spoke in anger, "Such insolence-based fools! See if you can face what you fear the most then!" I was worried about what he meant about that, and it wickedly laughed as a sudden rush of mist from its own body quickly consumed the area.
Normal POV:
Sindragosa was clever enough to hold in her breath as the smog-like mist the Sha spread from its body was truly toxic and goes into the system and then brings the worst fears to life right before everyone's eyes. She was also thankful with her quick speed at the moment, covered her godchild's mouth with muffled surprise as if to say why you did that.
Though to her shocked horror, Sunset Shimmer, the girl's mother was coughing as she inhaled the mist with ease.
Lucy began to panic as the mist subsided rather quickly as it came within a minute duration, and quickly went to her mother by magic in worry as she collapsed and twitched as if in pain. Since it was mostly the three of them within this monster's playground she assumed quickly, she checked Sunset's neck as her pulse was strangled by a mixture of both strong and weak ones, and the teen's eyes were scrunched up, with tears now flowing through them.
"What a great fear this girl has… Fearing the loss of those she cherished as well as being betrayed by her crush... Even also seeing this Lucy child, truly die before her eyes… It's a wonderful taste to my core." The Sha stated loudly to make the two females to look at him with shock, but Lucy's look as her concern began to grow into sudden hatred at the entity. She even glared right at the Sha with him only laughing wickedly, as with a snap somehow of its claws, smaller versions that were at least their size began to come-out of its body and began to rush them.
Lucy surprised Sindragosa as she held onto the child's mother as she rushed into all twenty-five of those the Sha summoned rather quickly; Arisa in her hand as she hacked them with ease making the Sha look to her once again being angered for a moment as he kept sending more and more out to tire her out.
With it being close to the thirty minute mark as Sunset finally calmed down and slowly opened her eyes, she turned to see a panting Lucy as she knew Lucy must be overexerting herself to keep them alive or safe. Though Sindragosa to the teen's surprise kept her down, yet she was also surprised she felt truly weak as if Sunset was drained of her energy within her mixed with a full-day's work out. "You need to stay-down; you're still suffering from the fear-mist it produced onto you Sunset."
Sunset despite what Sindragosa told the teen girl saw a gleam in the eyes of that monster at Lucy, as if it caught something truly wonderful as said girl only kept hacking at its creations. It then began to blast something from its wider mouth on its torso, making Sunset fear as to what might happen as it grew into a dark-like orb as it was aimed at her child's direction. "Lucy look out behind you!" It was a second too late as the blast made a quick impact onto the girl herself, making them both feel dread as Lucy screamed in major pain with the entity only laughing at her.
"This child is enriched with a wonderful taste of fear itself from what has been done to her all those years… It would be a shame if I didn't take this opportunity to cause one such fear as such myself to be used." The Sha stated plainly out loud to itself with it also making the two females look at the orb that was still covering Lucy; as she still screamed in pain but now slightly shallow as if, something was happening to her right now.
With enough force as she heard her child's scream one more time, she pushed herself quickly away from Sindragosa who yelped in surprised shock as she yelled come back, to Sunset, but shoved Lucy who was stunned at her mother's actions out of the sphere of the Sha's attack as Sunset was the one now screaming in pain. The Sha scoffed at this in fake surprise yet saw the fear mostly on the child's face at her mother's form and then within moments, a blast occurred blinding everyone's eyes for a few moments and when it also died down, Lucy was mostly shocked out of them all.
Sunset looked like a darker-version of the teen's self at this moment yet still has her main colors, but her eyes were dull as well as also being blank, mixed with them being glazed over. The energy that orb she was in that she sacrificed herself over for Lucy, was emitting all around her form as well. The Sha merely glanced to Lucy now and then without words, pointed from her mother, and then swiftly to the child as without warning and suddenly-formed tears falling from Sunset's eyes, she began to attack a surprised Lucy, who dodged as well as now avoiding flame-infused fists of her mother's flames.
Sindragosa though seeing the twisted amusement of the entities face, got up quickly, and with a quick sprint; as her one wing was still hurting her, she began to attack it with frost spells to both of their surprised faces against it, making the Sha now attack her with Sindragosa also thinking to herself as she dodged the swipe of its massive claws. I didn't think I would still have those abilities, as I feel alive still.
Meanwhile as Sindragosa kept running from the claws as well as striking a possible chance she got on her spells, Lucy was still dodging her mother who was crying to herself as without knowing, Sunset was fully viewing as to what her body was forcibly doing since she wasn't in complete control of herself from this fear-induced attack the Sha done to her; as Lucy also pleaded to her mother to 'Fight it', or to also 'Stop, I don't want to hurt you'.
Sunset also saw Lucy was very tired and also exhausted from her powers being spent on dodging her as with each chance, her own power grew dangerously more with Sunset now worrying to herself while also thinking with remorse to her child. Lucy I am so sorry. Please I don't want to hurt my child, someone stop me please! Her prayers or inward thoughts went unanswered until a tragic thing that would make them both remember for a long time, suddenly happen within moments: Lucy tripped after another miss of Sunsets hands, and Sunset with wide-glazed eyes in horror, now burnt Lucy's face. But when it occurred, the fire was purple before switching back to the normal fire color while Sunset was forced to do so.
In response to this, Lucy was screaming as she was quickly pinned down by her possessed mother and also tried to struggle against her suddenly strong grip as her face burned, and possibly leaving a scar around her right-eye. Sindragosa saw this and being enraged knowing it wasn't the teen's fault at all, blasted the Sha at the gut-like mouth; with it now howling at the female dragon in sudden agony as at the same time the mist quickly dropped from Sunset, and Lucy from the burning pain, was instantly passed-out.
Sunset now fell limply at first to the left-side of Lucy, with her shaking her head briefly at the same time.
With Sunset fully realizing now; as her eyes were back to normal as well as her entire body was normal once again, she began to fret over her passed-out child while she also cradled Lucy into her arms as well as stated; with a lone, streaked tear escaping from her left-eye as it dropped onto Lucy's face; her face filed with worry mixed with remorse mixed with dread as to what Sunset just did to her. "Lucy... I'm so, so sorry Lucy. Please wake-up and talk to me Sweetie... Please Lucy."
Sunset did touch the side of Lucy's now burnt face as she kept softly saying sorry, and also inwardly being emotionally hurt that she done this when Sunset had no control of her own body at all. Lucy also winced in slight pain at the touch, but was surprised as it was also quickly healing over yet leaving to Sunset's now sudden sadness and regret now, showed a darker-pink like skin tone around her right eye as it was fully healed. Sort of matching Lucy's one scar on her chest but more tuned to her skin, like a metallic pink.
Sunset now only comforted her child to her chest for a few moments when suddenly, Sunset froze as she also widened her eyes after moving quickly with Lucy with untold strength, and in time too as Sindragosa landed harshly at the area, making a slightly big indent as the female dragon that now moaned in pain.
Before she could ask the hurt dragon as she sees one of Sindragosa's wings was indeed broken now, if she was alright despite her mood; Sunset froze once again as instead of sadness mixed with remorse, anger slowly grew as to what the Sha stated after laughing wickedly, a tainted-like aura now surrounding it's frame. "I have to give credit to the dark spirit I made a deal with to go back into time and also deal with things, and why not start on who he wanted me to test-out firstly? In fact," Sunset now glared at the Sha as the entire time it hasn't moved from its position at all, but was now wickedly grinning at her as he stated the next choice of words right at the teen girl; like a brief confession of sorts, her eyes held sudden fury at the site of the Sha itself, "You should thank me you foolish girl as in secret this was also one of your own fears: hurting the foolish child, Lucy, while not in control of your power you have yet to truly tap into. As it was not only I he brought back into existence from the previous yet explored lands down in the south. He brought back a lot of others including a future version of Gul'dan like myself, the Sha of Fear. Yet I feel that the child should suffer as to what I can feel her ancestry has done to me."
Sunset now quickly looked to Lucy in true worry as she began to squirm in her grasp as if she was having a nightmare: her eyes scrunched up quickly as if in pain, her heart-beat was beating very fast as well as minor sweat quickly showing itself. Though what the Sha now stated next as Sindragosa who was aware as well as now over to the two; was now holding Lucy as per silent request by Sunset, in which the dragon gave her a pity-based look of understanding, froze once more and was once again angered by it. The Sha of Fear even made gestures while it spoke. "HAHAHAHA, like that foolish entity who gave me the fears sometimes of his victims back in the day, the very one I detected aided that foolish half-dragon demon Frandas, done to the child on what was it called…. A school of learning where you done so yourself on that day. In fact I was hoping to use her against you as her deepest… darkest fear of all is either hurting you or her comrades, or killing you as much the same. Especially since I now detect one of two darker presences that recently awoken not to long ago, by a test of a foolish mortal no less."
Sunset was worried about that part, but was still angry as well as now also worried from the Sha of Fear now beginning to make another orb-like attack, but this was felt as if to kill them instead of what it done to her. "Pity I didn't get a chance to have more fun at torturing you all… Now die!" The Sha then sent the blast quickly at them, as they were tired and weak, especially Sunset as to what happened with her own body as that brief amount of strength to aid her daughter, was all she had left. Sindragosa's however was mostly using her own magic for the first time in years mixed with her new magic she gained thanks to Arthas, in which said Lich King was merely standing by at what the Sha stated in peeked curiosity yet kept it hidden.
They prepared themselves as Sindragosa showed a motherly side to her to the teen's surprise, as the others now frantically tried to dispel or attack the barrier once again at seeing them like this, hugged the teen with Lucy in a protective maneuver. The blast of dark-like energy gave off a cold feeling mixed with heat as it neared their location as the two quickly closed their eyes. Though after a few moments it didn't came as well as a cry of anger from the Sha itself as when they opened their eyes, they were stunned to see a very familiar person now with a barrier of her own, protecting them.
It was Nefertina. A very, very, pissed-off Nefertina by the look on her face the two saw mixed with understanding in her orbs at Sunset, before also declaring loudly at Sha of Fear itself with harsh words now. The two females also detect a feeling of faint trace of magic near them as if she teleported from wherever she was to their current location. "You have done enough damage as it is Sha. In fact you should know my grandfather aided my mat-I mean Mistress' own ancestor as well to defeat, you back then."
The Sha looked at her for a few moments until it froze to make the rest of them look at it in surprise as it now was the one showing true fear, as it finally moved as it also backed up a few steps before now being enraged at Nefertina. "So you are her descendent then? Foolish mutation. Nothing can seal me away as well as my kin anymore, as those very seals were destroyed by one of the Tainted One's allies not to long ago," It then did a smug-like grin unbecoming of a Sha of its stature as it then stated it as well, "Fat chance of anything else to replicate it as well, I imagine, as it was a one-time deal back then."
Nefertina looked back at Sunset as she without warning with both Lucy and Sindragosa, were now glowing as they felt renewed quickly, and their damages were instantly fixed but to Sunset's inner dismay, Lucy's scar she placed upon her own daughter, didn't go away at all.
Nefertina then told Sunset gently yet quickly making the teen girl have a startled yet now slightly understanding look as to what she did to Lucy now, "While you had no control at all mother to my mate... I mean Mistress," Sunset also at the same time gave a raised eyebrow at the slip-up yet inwardly sighed at this as Nefertina continued, "You unknowingly casted within your power: Cursed Flames. There is nothing that can be done to fix that type of damage without something of a true phoenix tear mixed with it being saddened enough to truly cry, onto Lucy. You also must know I feel that Lucy will be afraid of fire now, but also she will forgive you, my Mistress' Mother, as it is not part of her nature to truly hold a grudge or fear anyone, at all."
Nefertina now glared harshly with untold fury at the Sha of Fear, yet calmly stating in a gentle voice, yet they gulped as a red-like aura now surrounded the mutant's form with ease quickly, "Now it is my turn to fight this monster in its own entire name. As well as to show to never harm anyone I declare as my lover, or as such ever again!" She shouted the last part at the Sha as she with amazing flight-speed, rammed into the center of the Sha of Fear with it now yelling in pure agony as she was hacking it with a sword-like spear she summoned out of nowhere, as it dealt a lot of damage.
Now healed, Sindragosa was about to get up and join her, until Sunset's words froze the female with her now looking at the look Sunset had on her face with disbelieve and understanding: the teen girl's look was filled with determination as well as raw fury as she mostly glared at the Sha of Fear. "Stay and watch my daughter Sindragosa," as she left the twos side, that fire-like aura reformed around her entire body as she gave a half-smile at the female dragon who only shook her head to this, as Sunset's eyes still had that determined look of both fury as well as caring for Lucy as she also gazed to her first before looking at the drake, "This time it will be me bringing that thing down." The female dragon had to quickly cover her eyes as a bright flash illuminated the area.
Unknown to even Sunset Shimmer herself, her own hidden power that was sealed by her very own teacher, a long time ago back in Equestria, was now fully unleashed. It took of not only the body-control of the Sha to weaken said bindings that she haven't known was placed upon her, but her love as well as Sunset's sad actions against Lucy.
After it died down, to the former undead drakes surprise, as well as mostly everyone as Adagio also blushed at Sunset with knowing looks by Lucy's mates and April, said girl being mentioned was now changed yet still remained the same.
Sunset still had her horn in the middle of her hair, which was now tied-up at the end with a light-like hairband of sorts, and her wings were still the same, but the webbing now glowed like pure-light mixed with flames. Sunset also showed of having a more fit body then she was before as well as Sunset's main color from her eyes also glowing in power, making them neon-blue. That aura that surrounded her form also showed, but less yet still could be seen around her entire frame. The other reason that Adagio blushed was that Sunset's outfit changed also into a half-revealed armor of sorts; like a Valkyrie that also showed her waist, legs, arms, and some parts of her chest. The color of the armor matched her hair color in perfect conditioning, as if it was truly made for her and only her. But Sunset also had no helmet as said armor itself showed, but a silver-like crown on her head that also gleamed slightly every so often with untold power; as it was perfectly placed under her horn and around Sunset's forehead with ease.
In her hands as she now gazed at herself in both confusion and wonder as to what happened, she had a small broadsword in her left-hand that felt warm and welcoming, and in her other was her Zanpakto which hummed in perfect union with the other blade as her originally main weapon, was accepting the other with ease. The sword itself was etched in familiar runes the girl knew back at her old home, but it also had an image of an Alicorn at both sides of said weapon at the bottom near the hilt. The wrapping of the blade was some kind of leather mixed with metal of sorts she even couldn't tell at all, as it was material not known from her own world or Lost Avalon's. The outer edges though were smooth yet very sharp to not those not affected by darkness she somehow got into her head, but entities of darkness as well as corrupted by it.
Sunset filled with newfound power as she glared quickly once again at a surprised Sha and a knowing Nefertina, was with untold speed right at the Sha's face and slashed with both her blades as one, and also began attacking as well as aiding Nefertina.
At this point Sindragosa quickly turned after watching amazing abilities and powers of not only an angry Nefertina, but Sunset as well as they dealt a lot of combination blows to the Sha itself as it did deal hits to them, but minor damaging ones. Lucy than began to slowly wake up with her also moaning. She carefully after seeing a fire-like blast formed as well as an icy-like one from both of Sunset's weapons at the Sha's center, making it howl in pain as it began swiping at her in rage, held Lucy in a gentle hold.
Once Lucy opened her eyes, she was surprised to see at the moment her godmother looking right at her in concern, but that quickly changed to slight awe as she not only saw Nefertina with her mother surprisingly, dealing a lot of damage as well as easily dodging the Sha's attacks. But she also felt each blast her mother did at some points to which what truly woke-her up. Lucy then winced as she touched the spot where the child now recalled as she thought it was all a dream slightly, of her own mother doing that as tears slowly began to spring into Lucy eyes.
Sindragosa with understanding, made an icy-like effect with a piece of cloth she torn from her outfit, a small piece that is, and placed it onto Lucy's eye area, in which the girl gave her godmother a confused yet thankful look, and in return to that look was Sindragosa giving a look of later as they both watched the two still fighting the now weakened Sha of Fear.
Sunset as well as Nefertina were not aware of Lucy watching them fight, kept attacking as Sunset was still angry yet felt mostly love for some strange reason now within her, which both weapons as her other blade was like Nevena was, a spirit blade, would tell her later on about. Sunset now teleported by her magic and quickly without knowing what she was mostly doing, channeled quickly both blades powers into herself as well as her own mixing, and shouted loudly in a scream as a large blast of energy to which Nefertina quickly moved out in time; as said blast of Sunset's unknown attack fully engulfed the Sha of Fear with it also roaring in pure agony once more.
Sunset as she wasn't used to said attack she did without knowing, weakly smiled to herself as she then fell from the sky now, and also passed out with Lucy now worrying about her mother. Once she landed with a thud as well as surprisingly not breaking any bones, Sunset glowed briefly as her weapons vanished, and she was back to her main outfit.
Before the Sha of Fear could attack, the barrier it placed up was finally destroyed and the others now helped out with Adagio also quickly rushing to Sunset first, before gently dragging the female to Lucy and Sindragosa. Sunset as weak right now as she was, as the sudden power she used against the Sha itself, was now gone for now, she felt to herself strangely.
Though Nevena stated while Adagio also strangely though without thinking, that Adagio was cute up close. "You had power for a while, as your daughter's own magic has been slowly weakening the binds that was cast upon you back then, by a concerned princess you truly recall. Though you may be upset, it was for the best as at the point while you were younger, Mistress, you would have been killed as it would consumed you eventually, within a years' time." Sunset only gave a weak smile to Adagio, but at the same time she voiced her thoughts back to her weapon at the same time, thanking that Adagio couldn't read minds or she would have been blushing at her once again briefly thinking she is cute, amusing not only her main weapon, but her new one thanks to her unlocked power. What do you mean I would have been killed back then by my teacher? "What she means my long awaited Mistress, is that you would of burned-up like those birds to which are called phoenixes." Stated a new female voice within her mind, surprising Sunset yet she winced as after a few minute trek, she was now laid next to both the female dragon and her daughter who only looked at her in concern.
The voice herself was mature sounding yet still sounded around her age somewhat she felt, as well as sounding both melodious mixed with innocence for some reason with a slight British accent once Sunset herself, heard it though. Who are you? Sunset thought quickly as they were witnessing April and the others dealing a lot of damage to the Sha of Fear, to whoever this new person was. She only heard a brief snicker mixed with minor laughter as the female voice then stated to her kindly yet with humor in it, as she thought she felt Nevena herself did an eye roll to.
"You will find out later on as when we get a chance; We will meet with Nevena. I suggest though you talk to your daughter, as she is starting to form tears from your ignoring her." The female voice stated as advice, and Sunset did see her concerned daughter began to tear up until she stated softly, making Lucy now smile with Sunset also feeling minor guilt at seeing the scar around Lucy's right-eye still, "I'm ok Lucy… Just weak at using my power locked away from within me. Are you ok?" Lucy nodded slightly, but when Sunset began to touch her face, she flinched in a reflex pose as if Lucy was going to get burnt again, and this only made Sunset sadly bring her hand back.
It was then Nefertina while the Sha of Fear was stunned for a moment, came over to check them over, yet stilled as to what she heard. Yet now gave Sunset a pity look briefly before going to help the others.
"Lucy, it isn't your mother's fault to what she done to you, to your face," began Sindragosa who the three girls; the two teens and Lucy looked to as she continued, her direction now aimed at the Sha of Fear, who was now blasting the others with shadow-like attacks from its stomach-mouth, "It was that things fault in the first place." Lucy had her head now downwards and her form shaking as if she was beginning to cry, and Sunset not knowing what to do only decided to weakly move with Adagio's help to hug her, ignoring her daughter's flinch again and only whispered soothing words to her, making her now sigh in her arms.
That is until something unexpected happened.
The Sha of Fear sensing the Harmony Child as it quickly blasted away the other heroes he dubbed to itself, also briefly freezing them in place as they fought once again in an illusion-based world of fear he quickly produced and knew it didn't like the child feeling loved at all, from seeing the child's worst memories from that man to which if he was able, would use as a focus point against the child in the near future. But decided as it then felt its comrade that came with him, that vassal to one of the old tainted demonic gods himself, and quickly grinned as a sudden idea came to it. Using the distracting it placed upon those that were currently fighting it, it used this quick opportunity to cloak its left-claw in darkness and doing like the Darkside Heartless does, quickly jams it into the ground.
The result to this was both Sunset and Adagio now yelping as they were suddenly engulfed quickly by tendrils of darkness and shoved into the void that was spawned underneath them both, leaving Lucy to look on in confusion and sudden worry as to where they were.
Sindragosa was also worried as the two now froze, and looked as they saw the others were distracted as they fought in place for some odd reason, but their eyes appeared to be glazed. It was as if whatever the Sha of Fear done to them as they were all fighting within their own heads… so to speak. Yet they were far a ways off from where the Sha was as they were at the very end of the other side of the football stadium-sized room.
But what Lucy saw now as her eyes to what Sindragosa saw that Lucy's eyes went red, truly in rage, was the Sha now squeezing both her mother and her aunt in both hands with ease, but not too powerful of a squeeze as they would pop like a pimple, as an explanation of sorts. The very pressure it made, the two look to be in minor pain, as its grip on mostly on Sunset was agony as it was almost to the point of breaking her wings.
"I give you a quick choice Harmony Child: Which do you want to save the most?" The Sha of Fear now asked harshly at Lucy, to whom she froze over as this type of scenario was somewhat like what happened with April back at her cousin's world she grew-up at… slightly that is. Though the smirk was now wiped from the Sha's face as its so-called partner finally came, and looked briefly as it now stated firmly without looking behind the area it was at, "You're late."
"I am sorry Creation of the Seven-Headed Old God of this world; I had an earlier assignment I had to do for my boss I now serve." The person was at least ten feet evenly in height, and was completely covered in a dark-shrouded purple cloak of sorts with fel-like runes stitched randomly all around it. The build of said person was a male from the looks of the form, and the cloak only covered the upper-part of the unknown male, and he had blood-red glowing eyes under the hood; as it completely covered his entire face. The rest of him was also decked-out in demonic-like plated armor that was all dark-green with a black-like mist showing at the shoulders.
The male saw what the Sha was doing and under the hood, it felt like to everyone he looked to the Sha of Fear with a raised eyebrow as he asked curiously, "I take it you're using that child's fears as such and making her choose to see which one of them will live?" The Sha of Fear only nodded a firm yes without leaving his gaze from Lucy's form. The man shrugged as he casually stated, looking right at Adagio who now felt fear at the red eyes this male had right at her with keen interest, "Why not deal with them both then, Breath of Fear? As the child is only eight years of age anyways; Let her witness her failed choice of now witnessing their demise… Starting with the Siren in your left-claw."
Now it was both Lucy and Adagio who froze at to what this armored male suggested, and the Sha of Fear seeing something they didn't from the shrouded male, now grinned as he quickly began to squeeze even more to the Siren, who now yelled in pain even more than before; its grip was straining her own ribs to the point they might either break or puncture her easily.
Lucy however froze as she snapped at this, her eyes now holding an uncontrollable rage as she then blanked out like last time. Sindragosa who now felt an instinctive urge to which she did; to get away from Lucy, and the armored vassal, who now looked at Lucy with another set of keen interest as well as above, the Lich King.
Lucy's form began to emit a shadow-like aura that also concerned both teen girls' in the Sha of Fear's grip, to which lessened slightly yet remained firm.
They suddenly felt the area near Lucy somehow emit a sudden odd pressure to the point of hardly breathing. Suddenly Lucy yelled in both pain and raw power quickly as her form was then covered in a ball of darkness, and the area she was at was now indented to the point of a sphere. Black lighting as well as purple flames formed while it began to emit randomly around the sphere of darkness, and also striking randomly at her area.
Fear instantly struck the girls as Lucy's screams then slowly turned within moments... into insane laughter, as they saw the Sha look nervous as if, he felt Lucy's rage and raw power through that orb of darkness. Without warning they had to cover their eyes except those above or the armored male, and was all because of the dark-sphere exploding with a dark-like flash.
After a few minutes of waiting, and to what they saw of Lucy now shocked them, and making the two teen's worry as to what happened.
Lucy was as she was before in that very form, but it was changed slightly to show she was laughing with very sharp-like teeth and a forked tongue that acted like as such when she was laughing, her eyes were also pure-white as well as her hair pitch-black without any highlights and also her skin tone was dull-grey. She didn't have any weapons that were summoned, but her fists were emitting darkness that was very pure in nature to the point it can even harm both pure and tainted darkness based enemies. Then they were quickly stunned as her eyes; her iris now showed to be blood-red and then slit like a demon's, and her pupil now all amber colored. Her tail was wrapped around her waist as they saw her fingers and toes; since her shoes were now gone from this strange transformation were claws. Lucy examined herself as her laughter seized, and grin insanely at them all.
Her backpack wasn't on her at all yet it was at a far-enough at a safe corner; with also a bubble-like shield protecting itself, which was very odd.
Lucy without words now looked to the Sha of Fear with a tilt of her head, and an insane smile to which made both teen girl's freeze as despite it being Lucy; the child they cared about, it was like a smaller version of a horror game entity they were dared to face… play during that month by Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, was aimed at the Sha itself. Her smile was to that of Pinkie's own horror game she designed quickly with the help of the Twilight, and needless to say it was a success. Although Lucy's eyes also held a different story as they were showing pure, unadulterated, hatred to the entity.
The yet to be introduced male only raised an eyebrow at this as if this was a common occurrence to him, and the Sha was only a little unnerved.
They were all surprised at the sudden gleam in her eyes as if an idea took place, and with that creepy smile of hers still on Lucy's face, they were stunned as she used her one left-claw-like hand to reach into something in the air, and a small dark-like portal showed as she seemed to be grabbing something with her face scrunched-up as well as her forked tongue hanging out.
After a few moments, a ah-ha look was on her face as she now grinned mixed with that smile of hers as she also laughed wickedly at to what Lucy then pulled out. It was a bloodied scythe to the two teen girl's horror as it did look like the one of Pinkie's next design as a weapon the creature of her next game was supposed to wield, with it being mostly a bone-based weapon and at the top was a human-like skull with green-flaming orbs for eyes. The blade had dried blood etched into it as it was supposed to be from the background of said creatures character, a cursed yet blessed scythe; cursed by how many bones stolen from the grave yet blessed by demonic blood mixed with the supposed blood of Jesus, as the main character/creature itself was a female and also a good female going against a demonic warlord and his army.
The game was eventually called Malinda and the Chaos Fights, because of how Pinkie designed the game herself with once again Twilight's help… As well as the Princess never leaving until she beaten the boss along with Rainbow Dash themselves during the month. But alas it hasn't been released to the public as it was still developing.
Anyways, off topic.
Lucy then swung the weapon with practice ease, making whooshing sounds with each swung that sounded to make the two teens shiver, as they don't know what is going on with Lucy at all, to that of a sharp whistle of sorts.
Now with a sudden glare aimed right at the Sha of Fear, she pointed the weapon in one hand now to it, and they were surprised as it wasn't Lucy's voice that came out of her own mouth, but a mature female. The tone of the female's voice was melodious yet also dark, as well without her accent in place but enriched to a honey-like tone as well to sweeten those with ease. "I don't know what you have done to awaken me when Lucy needed me the most, as well as that hell of a headmaster sealing me away to deal with her so-called uncle; A long while back, but you are about to see your own worst fears… Come to life!" Whoever possessed Lucy stated at the end in a demonic-like tone, and she quickly vanished as well as reappearing in the air as she also easily swung her weapon at the Sha of Fear's left arms and right with amazing speed.
Once she landed as whoever didn't know Lucy can fly without her wings, made a dramatic pose with her weapon to her left-side outwards in front of her, and she was also kneeling before standing as well as looking back at the Sha with an insane grin on her features once again. Of course the Sha itself was confused at the swift actions for a few moments before quickly roaring in sudden agony as both its arms, mostly the wrists of the claw-like hands that held each teen girl was cleanly off, and both Sunset and Adagio quickly yelped as they began to fall after seeing they were forty feet into the air, with the claws dispersing and going back into the Sha of Fear afterwards.
Sunset while inwardly screaming, she quickly spread her wings and also at the same time swooped down and got Adagio, to which she didn't notice the blush on the Siren's face as her face was in the center of Sunset's chest and then glided. Sunset then landed with ease, but barely as she almost tripped with her not used to carrying a girl almost the same weight as her, and Adagio now stood by at a safe point.
They now watched as they were amused slightly yet still worried about Lucy's current condition, of the others with mostly April now doing cheerleading moves for some odd reason while she was fighting within her mind.
The reason for this is that Lucy or whoever was possessing her at the moment, used her weapon to teleport and reappear randomly as well as slicing at the Sha who also at the same time, roared in sudden agony as it took slow amounts of time to heal with each hit, not knowing it was having in secret, the innocent souls that secretly made the being, were slowly being freed when Lucy does this.
"I don't know what Lucy meant, but for some reason… This isn't her at the same time." Adagio commented to which Sunset wearily nodded as she was also weak once again from doing that flight attempt, yet decided for some odd reason at the same time to remain standing; as if to prove a point to the Siren next to her. "I agree with you Adagio, knowing Lucy as long as we have... This isn't like her at all." Sunset spoke back to the Siren as they both now shivered once again as insane laughter came from Lucy's own mouth.
They had no choice but to watch as Lucy kept attacking the Sha of Fear without it trying to defend itself without mercy.
After nearly or close to ten minutes of her doing this, the Sha of Fear roared one final time as it collapsed but not before it roared in sudden betrayal at the male who had gleamed eyes as he stated carefully to them all aloud for them to hear him, "I have my thanks to you fools. It is not every day I get to witness a demonic awakening or in this case, a split personality emerge as you have child," he only gave Lucy a pointed look as he was absorbing the entire darkness the Sha of Fear has, until it was completely all into the male, "But alas, you have yet to truly earn an actual kill. But I have to say you have taken keen interest to thyself, as it rarely does occur to an old god like me."
The male's plated fist glowed with that darkness the Sha had before also dispersing it back into him, a grin hidden under that hood of his in secret now as he then stated a name that quickly froze Adagio over with true fear, with Sunset now looking to the Siren with worry as it take as a lot to cause said fear into Adagio like this, especially most of said fears was for Lucy. "I, Diablo of the Twelve Old Demon Gods, will be closely watching you all. More so to the… Past deal that Siren over there has made a long time ago; To which is soon to be up." Diablo's gaze was now aimed right at Adagio, who flinched, and he now chuckled briefly at her look, making whoever possessed Lucy growl at him in anger.
Diablo only chuckled as he glanced at the Lich King and then back at the child as a fire-like vortex showed-up out of nowhere behind the male, and stated then to Lucy to which made her tense as he had his left-plated hand with darkness forming into a orb of sorts that was about the size of a baseball, "With that being said, I think it would be with keen interest as to place a timer to collect said Siren as such. Deals with my kind can be broken however," he now briefly told them all, making Adagio look to this demon's eyes in both fear and slight hope at his next words, "If certain criteria are met. Like say for an example… A replacement offering to magnify the exchange. A soul that is equal or even greater then said person, under our contract."
Without warning he crushed the orb without a sweat as suddenly Adagio gasped in slight pain with Sunset now kneeling to help a suddenly weakened Adagio as to their horror at the same time at looking, a rune-like mark began to appear; as if it was a tattoo on her left-arms skin, mostly near her wrist of her hand as it also burned slightly before seemingly as such; like a purple-colored tattoo. "You have four months Adagio Dazzle; Otherwise your soul is mine as I am your deal-holder, from back then." He then left as Lucy instantly was about to slice him, but shoved her back without effort as the flame-like vortex now closed.
Everyone that was under the influence as April was the entire time afterwards doing cheerleader poses now stopped as the teen herself was not only confused but was very sweaty as her clothes clung to her, and if Donny was there let's say said turtle would faint with a bloody nose. Though Jaina saw this as she casted that cleaning spell with ease, as her magical reserves were still partially good for now, and quickly cleaned a thankful April.
Sindragosa, who felt it was ok, now came carefully to them as one of the attacks knocked her out for a brief moment as while Lucy fought the Sha of Fear, it made a shadowy blast randomly aimed at her direction to do so; now came over to the entire group as Possessed Lucy now glared at them with her weapon out as if to state, to stay back or else. In which they did, but Sunset who was now carrying Adagio, despite her flinching as she twitched every-so-often do to the relief as well as minor pain in her wings, came right to Lucy who strange as it is now grinned warmly in that insane smile of hers, making the others notice the difference in Lucy right now with a slight shiver.
"Who are you at the moment, as I know you're not the Lucy I know?" Questioned Sunset as well as Adagio firmly agreeing with the teen girl, her arms crossed as the Siren tried to once again hide a blush at how close she was, yet gazed at the mark that was also placed upon her wrist. No regrets mixed with true regrets at the same time as she looked at it sadly.
Lucy only chuckled as they were surprised at her voice at the moment as Lucy then replied with ease, not complaining about what they questioned her about, with the girl leaning on her weapon with the blade on the ground and her entire body at the same time, pressed to the handle. "I know my Other-Half couldn't have known about me as she was made to forget by the old fool; before she even became immune to said attempts of his mind spells. But at the moment, you may call my Lilith."
Now this made them curious as before they could ask, as if knowing she suddenly smirked at Jaina Proudmoore and also stated, making the mage realize as to what might be happening to the others confusion, even Sindragosa's. "Though I was created mostly to aid Lucy; my Other-Half against those that would torture or bully the kid, but in time I too gained a personality as well as a conscience of my own self. Mostly being a soul trapped with the girl you see before us, as it was Vernon Dursley as such that made me come into existence as of today. But the old fool knowing what I was, sealed me painfully; I have to say, away within her mind and made her forget about me. But as I am free, the block to that is also broken as we were both close as… twin sisters, if you can say that. In fact I was aware as my eyesight thankfully wasn't blocked from the glitch-like spell the old goat casted upon us. So I know everything."
Possessed Lucy or Lilith paused as she had glazed eyes for a few moments before shrugging, now either shocking them or making them curious as she easily stated it as if it was a common thing to her, "I think Lucy is at this moment, passed out within her Inner Heart as soon as I will be, as I haven't been out for a long time as well… In fact…" She began to tilt from side to side and her weapon dismissed into a fire-like dark mist with Lucy was chnaging back to her normal true self; after thankfully April catching her cousin.
Despite the many questions flowing through their minds, even Nefertina's, Sunset now did a pointed look to Adagio, as said teen now sighed as if it was coming sooner than later, "What did you do to make a deal with a demon Adagio?" Now that made those not aware to look at said Siren with confusion but Sindragosa in knowing as she was at least awake at that part, but inwardly she was surprised at Lucy's other-half of course.
Thal'ena though felt a shiver down her spine as not of fear, but something else when Lilith was still around; at least that was what the entity within Lucy stated her name was. Mia and Rosa whoever inwardly raged at some history Lucy's other-half revealed to the group before dismissing herself they had to guess. Keri though felt a future pranking partner in the near future.
Before the Siren could even say a word, the vortex that Arthas now uses, showed a few feet behind them all, and they quickly turned as he only clapped his hands at them while emerging as if to say you passed or congratulations, his glowing eyes unknowingly on Lucy's unconscious form the entire time as he addressed them. "I would like to tell you all that you can hold yourselves surprisingly well," the girl-drake as earlier was now in Sindragosa's arms as the entire time in the illusion the girl unconsciously as she too passed out but earlier, clung like a life-line to the mage, and was sleeping soundly right now in Sindragosa's arms with her unknowingly clinging to her frame. "I will not harm the other drake that was used for said test, to which I will deem a failure as such from my soon-to-be-punished scientist as such. So she will remain with you as well as the Blood Queen's daughter for the time being while she is… off at her mission."
The Lich King paused before now stating to make them relax… for now that is, "You may all roam as much as you like, but you are all confined within my citadel for the time being as I stated earlier. Even to this strange… person now added to your group." Nefertina glared at the Lich King, which he brushed off as it was one of many comments she gotten back in April's home world that felt demeaning.
"Now," he began to state in finality to them all as he began walking to the vortex once again but without looking at them now, "I have a Professor to punish as such." He was then gone as well as eventually they were all lead to a new kind of chamber of sorts, a comfortable one that was mostly made for relaxing as well as hanging out they had to guess. It was like the other one but with more comfy furniture made of skins and fluff, as well as other things to keep them occupied.
Now after they settled down and placed the two knocked-out sleeping girls on a couch of sorts that was big enough to fit them both, they all now turned to Adagio as Sunset only said one word with a mixture of both in a firm tone with her arms crossed, and pity to the Adagio's now prone saddened form, with them all sitting in said chairs or sofas made of animal skins, "Explain."
No! Not another cliffhanger… well it was to be expected as it does get you guys wondering as to what kind of deal or how it was made for Adagio, and how is Lilith within Lucy as well all now know her as her other-half, but to what of course? I made things like this for a reason of course, yet this sudden new person showing up out of nowhere as well as being an old demonic god, how unexpected is that (gets whacked upside of the head).
I plan like I made in bubble part of my announcements near the date, plan on making another, longer chapter to this story, and then working on Pinkie and the Half-Sister story of mine. I also would like to point out for those that do read my stories, please leave a review or sorts, or even PM me with suggestions to any of my stories as such.
Anyway, here are the numbers for you guys:
One: I looked that riddle up, knowing it might ad some part to the story between two certain girls as you have seen this coming.
Two: Alice from Wonderland, Jasmine from Aladdin, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella from Castle of Dreams (Her name as movie), Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Snow White from the movie, and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts Franchise. They are the Princesses of Heart as well as their own hearts are considered the lights to the supposed "Door of Darkness" from KH1. That is what that number is stating.
Three + Four: Why not as they had no justice or even a change besides a single encounter for a quest line in WOW (World of Warcraft) as such, but they are slightly AU in this fic. Made the Blood Queen's daughter younger to fit the storyline better for years to come.
So that's it for now till next chapter of Lucy and the Sirens, Peace guys!
