"So this is the site," remarked Lucianna as she looked at the barren landscape. Legends had it that this region of Domino was exceptionally beautiful. But now, it was a wasteland compared to the rest. Most of it was dusty and rough, with a few ruins in the distance. The only thing that was still beautiful, was the pale beach. Nothing stirred, except for the other fairies studying the region.

She started to examin the layers of rock for any artifact she could find for her Magical History class. "Hey Lucianna!" said Diaspro, "Find anything yet?"

Diaspro was probably the one girl Lucianna detested the most. She was just a blonde brat with an ego, and people like her would never change. Lucianna turned around exasperated already, "I hear you found a helmet and a sword."

"That's right. The first person in this class to find anything interesting."

"Look around Diaspro, it's a war site. You'll find the helmet, armor, sword, and shield of many warriors. "Not what I'm looking for."

"Then what are you looking for?"

"A story."

She heard Diaspro and her cronies laugh behind her back, but she kept searching for her "story". Then suddenly her eyes fell upon something glimmering in the rock. She knelt down and carefully brushed away the rubble surrounding whatever it was.

She uncovered a gold necklace embedded with the most beautiful garnets she had ever seen. There were words inscribed on the locket which were now worn out and barely legible. The necklace captivated her and she couldn't tear her eyes from it until a voice sounded from behind her. It was Griselda telling the class to gather around with whatever they collected.

Without a second thought, Lucianna placed the locket into the pocket of her sweatshirt and joined the class without revealing what she had found.

It was around 5:30 p.m when Lei entered her room and found her best friend Lucianna staring fixedly upon the locket. "What the hell are you doing?" she asked finding the scene altogether very strange. "Where did you get that?"

"I found it- today."

"And you just took it? Without telling Griselda?"

"Before handing it over like that, I wanted to know more about it," replied Lucianna finally taking her eyes off of the necklace. "Everything has a story, and something so beautiful among a war zone must have a good story- and I want to know it."

"Right..."

30 minutes later as Lei was watching t.v., Lucianna suddenly shouted, "For the fair one!" Lei dropped her water bottle suddenly started.

"What are you talking about?" asked Lei confused.

"The inscription on the necklace," said Lucianna as a million thoughts ran through her mind. "The necklace of Eris."

"No way, that's impossible," said Lei disregarding the comment, "It's been lost for a millennium. Top historians didn't even find a trace of it, and you're telling me that you suddenly found it."

"It is possible," said a foreign voice, startling both of the girls. The voice was gentle but firm, and there was a hint of sorrow in it as well.

They realized it came from the necklace, and they were shocked since they had never seen this type of magic prior to this. "This indeed is the necklace of Eris- the same one that caused the Dominion War."

Lei was a bit nervous about the unknown voice, but that feeling soon faded into curiosity as she wanted to know more.

"Then whoever you are, you must know more about it," said Lucianna. "Tell me more- please. I really want to know." Lucianna was told stories about the Dominion War which had sparked interest in her since childhood. But the stories all seemed to be missing something, and this was her chance to hear the story from source that might have existed throughout the war.

"As you please..." replied the voice.
