Vasyl, no, she couldn't, and why would she do that in the first place? It wouldn't do anything useful, unless attempting to restructure the universe is considered useful. It would most likely be dangerous, pointless, and an all around bad idea.

Cyborg, Eclipsis went through Univix with the original Company of Light, was forced back into Univix by Allanya, and then forced back out of Univix by the then-nameless Classix.

Let's get moving.

The Classix woke at dawn, a light rain coming to an end.

"It feels weird to wake up at dawn." Nyssa said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "This used to be when I'd go to sleep."

"Get used to it." Dhalia said gruffly. "We work by day. Now you do too."

"I still don't understand what you people have against mornings." Reyva said. "They're my favorite time of day!"

"Is she always like this?" Nyssa asked plaintively.

"No." Amelia replied.

"Oh good."

"It's usually worse."

"...Great."

"Pipe down, all of you." Artis said crankily. "It's too early for this much noise."

"Calm down Artis." Perdi said. "Remember, Reyva getting up early means you don't have to make breakfast."

Reyva had indeed made breakfast. Or at least, she'd taken out some of the supplies they'd picked up in Melivon. Mostly nuts and dried fruit, although there was some bread and other grain products. There was also a selection of traveling cheeses. Curiously, there was no meat of any kind.

"Well of course." Nyssa said when Dhalia noticed this. "You thought the slow growth only applied to fairies and the like? All animals are immortal here with very long childhoods. Meat's completely impractical."

They settled down to eat.


"Without Melivon's help, our only option is to track Eclipsis down the hard way." Dhalia said. They had finished their meal and were now sitting in a circle. Nyssa had tried to get out of it, but Amelia had dragged her back to the group.

"The last place we know she was at was Kobet's home." Artis said. "The problem is, she can change her shape, so most tracking methods won't work."

"I can still track her." Amelia said. "I may not be able to detect her, but I can still follow the trail of her magic. Especially here in Altivix, where everyone leaves so much of it behind."

"About that." Nyssa interjected. "There's something I should tell you. When I was Sasha, I had to be careful not to spend too much time in one place."

"Why?" Perdi asked.

"Because otherwise my magic would start to affect the environment around me."

"Which means?" Dhalia asked impatiently.

"Which means it would become hostile, usually producing what amounted to monsters made up of various substances, like wood, or dirt, although once they were made of stone, and another time the lake I was swimming in was affected."

"Why would you care?" Reyva asked. "Just more creatures for you to control."

"Except they can't be controlled." Nyssa said. "They attack anything that gets too close to them. That included me."

"And you think Eclipsis may have similar effects on the landscape." Dhalia concluded.

"My powers as Sasha came from her. I don't think she'll have 'similar effects on the landscape', I think it'll be much, much worse."

"How long did you have to stay in an area to effect it?" Perdi asked.

"A few days. A week at most."

"And Eclipsis has been here for just over a week." Artis said. A silence settled over the group.

"This doesn't change anything." Dhalia said abruptly. "We still need to find Eclipsis and capture her, and the only way to do that is to start tracking her." She rose to her feet. "Let's go Classix."

"Let's go Magix!"

(Cue transformation music)

"Reyva, do you think you could try using a portal to get us there?" Dhalia asked when they were finished transforming.

"I think so. It's a lot easier to go somewhere I've been before." She stepped out of the cave. "Spacial Rift!"

The portal opened and the fairies stepped through.


The fires had been extinguished by last night's rain, leaving piles of charred and blackened wood and metal in its wake. The bodies of the Wizards of the Black Circle had been removed, and the place was deserted.

Amelia stared at the ground for a moment, then began to pace in a circle, casting her magical senses out in an effort to find Eclipsis's trail.

"Luminé seemed really angry yesterday." Reyva said to Nyssa. "What did you say to her?"

"I proved who I was."

"And how did you do that?"

"I told her something only Sasha and she could know."

"About what?"

"About some of the times she and I met." Nyssa looked at the ground. "I probably should have found something else."

"Why?"

"Because every time we met, I tried to kill her."

"Right. How often was this?"

"Once every five or ten years. She's been here for over eight thousand."

"So you tried to kill her more than a thousand times."

"...That's about right. Maybe a little more."

"Well no wonder she hates you! I would too!"

"Oh, that's not why she hates me. She hates me because I tried to kill her children several times."

Reyva stared at Nyssa for a moment. "...You really were a special kind of nasty, weren't you?"

"You could say that."

"Reyva, lay off her." Amelia said, returning to her starting point. "That was Sasha. This is Nyssa."

"What's the difference?" Nyssa and Reyva chorused. They froze and stared at each other.

"I think you have your answer." Artis said. She turned to Amelia. "Find anything?"

"Yes. Follow me." She took off, heading north west.


Reyva and Nyssa wound up flying side by side as they followed Amelia.

"Hi." Nyssa said, awkwardly.

"I still don't like you." Reyva replied.

"I don't exactly like me either."

"Well there's a good reason for that."

"Yep."

"And you fully deserve it."

"Agreed."

"And the world would probably be better off if you'd never existed."

"Almost certainly."

"Stop that!"

"Stop what?"

"Agreeing with me!"

"Why? You're right."

"I know I'm right, but I'm insulting you!"

"I know."

"I think I hate you."

"Oh good. I was starting to think I was the only one here who hated me."

"...You're weird."

"I'm the daughter of a monster and a wizard. What did you expect?"

"I don't know. Not this."

"Well sorry, but 'this' is it."

"I think you're mocking me."

"No, not really."

"...Leave me alone." Reyva said, flying ahead to join up with Dhalia.

"That was a really bad idea." Artis said. "If I were you, I'd stay away from Reyva."

"Why? We were getting along so well."

"You were agreeing. You were not getting along."

"What's the difference?"

"You're even worse than Perdi!" Artis marveled. "At least she knows something about how people interact."

"I haven't been able to really get to know anyone in ten thousand years. I've had to hide from them so that I wouldn't hurt them. Do you know what that's like?'

"In a way, yes." Artis replied. "I don't understand your exact situation, but I know what it's like to not be able to talk to anyone. I spent a hundred years on my own. At least you could talk to people at night."

"I... sorry."

"You don't need to apologize. It was my decision."

"But it was my actions that forced you into it."

"True, indirectly you were responsible, but that was Sasha, not Nyssa."

"Either way, it was still me. Why don't you hate me for it?"

"...You won't rest until you get an answer, will you?"

"I need to know."

"Because I choose not to."

"I don't understand."

"I've been called emotional, and I've allowed my emotions to control me in the past, but when you spend a hundred years with no one but yourself, you learn a lot about who you are. I know your emotions were controlling you, and I refuse to judge you on what you did while under the influence of Sasha's rage."

"I still don't understand."

"I don't know how else to explain it. Maybe you'll figure it out for yourself someday. In the meantime, if you want to talk to someone, you can always talk to me. Amelia and Perdi are also good choices."

"Alright, I will."

"Good."

"Girls, I think I found something!" Amelia called out. "Follow me!"

A/N: I'm pretty sure this one might fall under the category of filler, but I like it.

Not much else to say here, so I guess this is it.
