Chapter 19 is here! Last chapter, Dina revived the skeleton she found, and, after a lot of explaining, found out that the girl was her sister, Kira. At the end, the teens went to Icegrip Plateau for some digging. (Wow, that's probably the shortest summary I've ever done…) Anyways, this takes place shortly after that. On with the chapter!

Chapter 19: The Demon's Warning

*Dina's POV*

We left the Fossil Center. I immediately had a bad feeling, but I dismissed it. I mean, Saige and Jonathan were both dead, the armies were destroyed, and I was almost invincible thanks to my new powers. Also, when I had put the second necklace on, it disappeared and seemed to absorb into the original necklace. It was weird, but I understood why: they were the exact same item, just at different points in time.

Sadly, my suspicions about something going wrong were correct.

We made it to Ilium Village, but as we reached the path to Icegrip Plateau, there was a loud noise from behind us. I turned around to see a hole in the wall of the fossil center and fire everywhere, which was weird, since the melting ice should have extinguished it.

Then I noticed that the fire was turning bright green.

"Magic flames." Argis said.

The flames grew rapidly and formed into what looked like a flaming portal. The fire swirled around and a glowing green magic circle appeared in it. Argis' eyes grew wide.

"GET DOWN!" she shouted. She ran towards me and pushed me down. The others ducked down, as well, but Kira ran towards the portal instead.

"Where the hell are you going?!" Argis shouted.

"I know what I'm doing!" Kira shouted back. She stretched her arm out towards the portal, but just as she was about to touch it, a spiral of green fire and magic energy shot out at her. She put her hands in front of her to protect herself, but the flaming beam engulfed her. It shot right into her and kept going, just missing the rest of us. I could feel the intense heat from it as it shot past me.

"KIRA!" I shouted.

Then I saw something that shocked me more than that moment when I thought it was me in the rock.

Kira swung her arms out to her sides and the beam of fire and energy scattered and disappeared completely. She was completely unharmed.

"What the-?!" I shouted. I noticed that the portal was about to shoot again, but just before it could, Kira punched it and it instantly dispersed into a ring of flames around that spot and quickly disappeared, along with the rest of the flames in the building.

"That… was… AWESOME!" Selena shouted. "You destroyed the magic flamethrower portal with your bare hands!"

"Yeah." Kira said. "Now we just need to figure out who created it."

"That would be me." an unknown female voice said. It sounded like the voice was coming from a loudspeaker or something, though.

Another magic portal appeared on the ground inside the building, but Kira couldn't reach it. A column of green fire shot into the sky, and as it did, a flaming figure formed in the middle of the flames and hovered about a foot off the ground.

The column of flames disappeared, as well as the portal and the flames on the person. They still hovered in the air, though.

The girl was about Kira's height, which was about half a foot taller than me. She had light skin, white hair, and green eyes. She was wearing an outfit similar to Jonathan's battle outfit, except the marks were glowing green instead of blue. She had a katana with glowing green marks and green flames engulfing it, and seven legion symbols on her right arm.

"Who are you?!" I shouted.

"Ah, you must be Dina." The girl said.

"Jeez! How does everyone know my name?!" I shouted in surprise.

"I know all of you." She said.

"Again, who are you?!" Rupert shouted. "And what do you want from us?!"

"I will not tell you my name." She said. "At least, not yet. But I will tell you why I'm here. I am not here to kill you. I just want to stop you from overusing your ultimate power. Doing so is damaging reality, causing mysterious events to happen around the world. Portals are opening to strange worlds, including the underworld. Demons are being released from hell and running around in this world, and they're going to destroy everything they can."

"No way…" I said.

"In addition to that, dead people are being mysteriously revived." She explained. "I know you've killed some dangerous people, but they're being released from hell by the portals and returning to life."

"Oh, crap…" Argis said. "That means that people like Jonathan, Saige, and Zongazonga could be back!"

"Exactly." The girl said. "I was sent here to help stop them, but also to stop the two of you from damaging reality worse. I will tell you this: I am part demon, and I have dangerous magic powers. Don't get in my way. And if you use Warped Reality again, I may have to kill you or destroy the locket, depending on the damage it does."

"I didn't realize that it was that dangerous." I said. "Is there any way to reverse the damage?"

"I'm working on closing the portals." She said. "Kira's power may be useful, too, and Argis' demonic powers as a legionator may help, as well."

"I'll help, too!" I said. "I'm a legionator, too!"

"Yes, but you weren't born as one, so your demonic powers aren't as strong." She explained. "They may not work."

"I want to at least try!" I said. "It's my fault that this even happened, so I want to fix my mistake!"

Then I did something that I immediately regretted. I pulled the locket that was around my neck neck as hard as I could to break it off. The locket snapped off, but the force from it also snapped my neck forward hard and sharp enough to create a loud cracking noise.

"DINA!" everyone shouted. They crowded around me after I fell to the ground, paralyzed.

The mystery girl walked over to me and touched the back of my neck.

"I don't know how, but that managed to break her neck." She said. "I can heal her, but that locket needs to be destroyed. I'll do it myself. I can stop its power without damaging it. I'll also fix the chain for her." With that, she touched my neck again, and soon, I was able to move again.

"You're lucky to still be alive." Argis said. "With how long you were out, you should have died."

I then noticed the girl holding up the locket and chanting some magic spell that I couldn't understand. When she finished, a golden aura surrounded the locket and released outward, disabling its power. Rupert's did the same just after mine finished releasing its energy.

"You can have this back now, but you can't use its power anymore." She said.

"Good." I said. "Now let's go demon hunting."

That's chapter 19! Keep reading and reviwing!
