Chapter 14:
"Nerissa?", Irma questioned. "Psycho Queen? You want us to work with her? I'd... I'd... I'd rather work with Corny?"
"Gee, thanks.", Cornelia said sarcasticlly. "I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or not."
"Are you sure about this, Oracle?", Will questioned. "I mean after all that's happened, I don't think that it's best to free Nerissa from her jewel prison."
"I know it's not!", Caleb said. "She can't be trusted!"
"Enough!", Luba yelled. "If the Oracle says it must be done, then so be it!"
"Besides. The Oracle said that you MIGHT have to work with Nerissa.", Yan Lin said.
"How do you feel about this, Cass?", Joe asked his friend.
"Yes, Water Guardian. How do you feel about possibly having to work with the one who almost killed you if it weren't for the Oracle putting you in suspended animation?", Endarno asked Cassidy as he walked up to her. "How do you truly feel?"
"Good question.", Irma whispered to Will as they along with all those there waited to hear what Cassidy had to say.
"What do you think?", Cassidy asked sarcastically. "I don't like it one bit! I mean Rissa did try to kill me after all!"
"Oh, Cassidy.", Halinor said sadly as she shook her head.
"See?", Caleb said. "You're no better than we were when it comes to Cornelia!"
"But there's more.", the Oracle said. "Isn't there, Cassidy?"
"Yes, there is.", Cassidy said. "Yes! I meant what I just said. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't work with her.", she said before turning to Will, Irma, and Caleb. "I meant what I said yesterday. If it meant saving even one life, I'd do it. I'd work with Rissa.", she said proudly. "Just like you all did with Phobos. That's what it means to be a Guardian. To protect the innocent. Even if it means working with an enemy to do it."
"It seems that you were right, Halinor.", the Oracle said. "Cassidy has shown great wisdom today. And for that, I thank you, Cassidy."
"Ummmmm... Sure.", Cassidy said not knowing what was going on.
"Now as for you, Cornelia.", the Oracle said getting her attention. "It seems that you want to end your days being a Guardian."
"About that.", Cornelia said before the Oracle raised his hand stopping her.
"As much as you want to as you say quit, Halinor has brought something to my attention.", the Oracle said.
"And what's that?", Taranee asked being curious.
"A year ago, I asked the Guardians if they wanted Cornelia to return to their group as the Earth Guardian.", the Oracle explained.
"At the time you four said no.", Halinor said to Will, Irma, Taranee, and Hay Lin. "Now I ask all 'original' Guardians this. Would those who don't want Cornelia to stop being a Guardian please raise their hands.", she said as raised her right hand.
It didn't take long for Taranee and Hay Lin to raise their hand followed by Cassidy. But what surprised the others Guardians was that Kadma and Yan Lin raised their hands as well.
"Don't be to surprised.", Joe said. "Halinor did say all 'original' Guardians. And it looks like there are three other votes as well.", he said looking at Will, Irma, and Caleb who had their hands up as well."
"Okay! What gives?", Alchemy questioned. "You three were all happy about getting rid of Cornelia!"
"So what changed you mind?", Cornelia asked.
"It's what Cassidy said yesterday.", Will began to explain. "Lives are at stake and we need all the help we can get. And if she's willing to work with Nerissa after all she's done, then I can work with you. Just give me some time to get over all that happened. Okay?"
"Okay.", Cornelia said with a small smile.
"And we'll be keeping an eye on you.", Irma said as she narrowed her eyes at Cornelia.
"A very close eye.", Caleb said giving Cornelia a look that said he truly didn't trust her.
"Surprise, surprise.", Alchemy whispered to Taranee and Hay Lin getting a giggle out of them.
"I can live with that.", Cornelia said. "So, I guess I'm still a Guardian."
"Got that right.", Cassidy said with a smirk as she playfully punched Cornelia in the arm.
"And now it is time for you to meet the new Guardians that will be the Air and Quintessence Guardians of Cassidy's team.", the Oracle said as he touched the waters of the Viewing Pool. "Behold the Air Guardian! Selece Roberts!"
It was then that the image of Selece Robertson appeared in the Viewing Pool. She was walking down the sidewalk with Micheal to see more of the city. All of the Guardians were surprised to see that Selece would be joining them.
"She's the Air Guardian?", Irma questioned.
"Is that a problem, Water Guardian?", Tibor questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"She doesn't look like much of a fighter.", Caleb replied.
"Neither were your fellow Guardians.", Alfor replied. "But they have proven to be true Guardians."
"And I can promise you that Selece is a fighter.", Joe said. "She didn't learn martial arts for fun. She's as tough as they come."
"We'll see.", Caleb said.
"So who's going to be the Quintessence Guardian? Micheal?", Will asked ignoring Caleb's comment.
"No. But he will play a role in help you all.", the Oracle said as he opened a fold. "But for now, let us welcome the two siblings."
Back on Earth, Micheal and Selece were walking around Heatherfield to get to know the place better. Selece was dressed in a pair of green pants with a yellow shirt and white sneakers while Michel was dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt with black and brown sneakers.
"You know, this place is pretty cool.", Micheal said. "It's no Fadden Hills but it's still cool."
"I wonder what Will is up to.", Selece said as she pulled out her cell phone. "Oh wait! She can't take any calls."
"Not for the next three months.", Micheal replied. "And even if she could, I don't think she'd be wanting to talk to anybody after what happened yesterday.", he said with a grin.
"I still can't believe that happened.", Selece said with a giggle. "Poor, Will. First, she gets grounded and then THAT happens!"
"Well, that was one way to make our first week here interesting.", Micheal said. "What else could happen?", he questioned as they passed an alley.
It was then both siblings saw a thing of blueish-white light suddenly appear in the alley. Micheal and Selece didn't know what to think of it as they walked down the alley.
"What the heck is that?", Micheal questioned as they looked at the thing of light.
"No idea.", Selece said. "But... I think I've seen something like this before."
"Where?", Micheal asked.
"I can't remember.", Selece said. "But I know that the both of us saw something like this before. I just can't remember where.", she said while rubbing her chin.
"Hmmmm...", Micheal said as he began to think. "I think you're right about us seeing this before. Wait a second! Now I remember! Grandma's storybook! She drew something like this!"
"Oh yeah!", Selece said remembering. "I remember seeing it in the storybook she made. All those stories she told us are in that book! I have it on a self in my room."
"What did she call those these things?", Micheal questioned as he looked at the light. "Portals?"
"No! Folds!", Selece said. "They're rifts that lead to other worlds. But... That was just a story!"
"Does this look like a story?", Micheal questioned pointing at the fold. "I'm going through it!"
"But you don't know where it leads.", Selece said.
"That's the adventure.", Micheal said with a smirk. "Maybe I should call Angelo and see if he wants in!", he said as he pulled out his cell phone.
Suddenly, the fold started moving towards them and before they knew it, they were through the fold. Once through the fold, Micheal and Selece saw that they were in a large room made of white marble. But what caught their attention was the fact the Joe and Kadma Vanders was standing there with Yan Lin, and Halinor.
"Mr. & Mrs. Vanders?", Micheal questioned as the fold closed. "What are you doing here?"
"And where are we?", Selece asked.
"It's a long story kids.", Kadma said. "One that starts by you two turning around."
Once the two siblings turned around they were more than surprised to see their friends standing there. Only they looked a bit different.
"Will?", Selece questioned.
"Cornelia?", Micheal questioned.
"Hey, guys.", Will and Cornelia said with a smile and a wave.
"Shouldn't you two be home?", Micheal asked Will and Irma getting a laugh out of the other Guardians except Caleb and Irma.
"Of all the things to ask, you ask that?", Irma questioned.
"Oh, I have more questions.", Micheal said. "Like what the heck is going on?"
"And why are we here?", Selece asked. "And who are those guys?", she asked pointing towards the Oracle, Luba, Tibor, Alfor, and Endarno.
"I wish there was a fast way of telling you.", Taranee said.
"Allow me.", Halinor said as she stepped up to Micheal and Selece.
Halinor then touched the both of their foreheads and used some of her telepathy from what little Fire Guardian power she had and showed them what they needed to know. When she was finished, she began to feel weak in the knees but thankfully, Joe and Tibor were there to catch her in time.
"Remember, Halinor. You're not connected to an Auramere anymore.", Tibor replied as he and Joe guided her to a chair so she could sit down and rest. "Using your powers drains you."
"Perhaps.", Halinor said as she was sitting down. "But now they both know what they need to know. Don't you?", she asked Micheal and Selece.
"Y-Yeah.", Micheal said. "Talk about living a double life."
"You get use to it.", Cornelia said with a smile.
"And you want me to be one of these Guardians?", Selece asked the Oracle.
"Indeed.", the Oracle said. "You, Selece, are something of a free spirit that can go with the flow of things so to speak."
"Something we Air Guardians are known for.", Yan Lin said with a kind smile as she walked up to Selece. "Besides. There was a time that your grandmother took my place as the Air Guardian."
"Really?", Selece, Micheal, Hay Lin, and Will questioned.
"Gale was a firecracker!", Joe replied. "She took to being the Air Guardian quite well."
"So who better than one of her grandchildren to become our second Air Guardian.", Halinor said with a kind smile that Selece returned.
"Okay. But what about Micheal?", Selece asked. "Is he going to be a Guardian, too?"
"No, but he has another role to play.", the Oracle said. "One you all will find out about later. But for now, it is time for you all to know who the second Guardian of Quintessence will be.", he said as he made an image appear in the Viewing Pool.
All of the Guardians looked to see Angelo dressed in a pair of blue sweatpants and nothing else having a sparring session with his Uncle John who was dressed in a pair of red sweatpants and nothing else.
"Angelo?", Will questioned.
"Rich-boy?", Caleb questioned with grin and a smirk. "Yeah right! He's the last guy I'd pick!"
"That's my grandson you're talking about, boy!", Kadma said.
"And believe me when I say he can handle himself well.", Joe added.
"Can he now?", Endarno questioned.
"See for yourself, Endarno.", Tibor said as he was looking in the Viewing Pool.
Everyone looked to see how well Angelo was sparring with John. He took some hits but recovered from them fast. After a few more minutes of sparring, they ended with a respectful bow and took a much needed break.
"I take it you've been training on your own.", John said as they grabbed a bottle of water each and began to drink.
"Yeah! Me and Micheal have been doing a bit of sparring every once in a while.", Angelo explained. "We've been working with wooden weapons, too. He can fight well with a broadsword."
"Well, your training has paid off.", John said with a grin.
"Thanks.", Angelo said with a smile. "By the way, I was hoping that we could... let Will, Micheal, and Selece in on the family secret."
"You mean about the Known Worlds?", John questioned. "You sure about that?"
"Well... yeah.", Angelo said. "I mean I was seven when I found out about it all. And I kept it all from Will, Selece, and Micheal all this time. And believe me when I say that it wasn't easy to keep it all a secret back then."
"I would believe so.", John said. "But I want you to think about this before you want to tell anybody about it all."
"Been there and done that.", Angelo said. "I think they can handle it."
"Glad you think that.", John said as he put his sneakers and white tank-top on.
"Why?", Angelo said as he put his sneakers and grey tank-top on.
"You'll see.", John said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a fold crystal and headed inside the house with Angelo right behind him.
"So where are we going?", Angelo asked as John opened a fold with the fold crystal.
"Kandrakar.", John said.
"Really?", Angelo questioned. "Haven't been there in a while. With the moving and all."
"Well, this isn't a social visit.", John replied as he went through the fold.
"So what's going on?", Angelo asked as he went through the fold. "Oooooh snap!", he said as he looked and saw all that were there. "Aren't you two grounded and should be home?", he asked Will and Irma getting a laugh out of some of the others.
"Really?", Irma questioned. "You not the least bit curious about why you're here?"
"I've been here before.", Angelo said surprising the Guardians, Micheal, and Selece. "I've been to a few other worlds, too. Some nice, some not so nice. But all in all I've had my fair share of adventures. But I would like to know what's going on."
"Well, Angelo, you know about me being one of the extra Guardians right?", Cassidy questioned getting a nod from Angelo.
"Wait! You told him about us?", Caleb questioned while narrowing her eyes at Angelo.
"No! I told him about me being a Guardian.", Cassidy said narrowing her eyes at Caleb before turning her attention back to Angelo. "Anyway, now you and Selece have been picked to be Guardians as well."
"Whoa!", Angelo said. "Didn't see that coming."
"Tell me about it.", Selece said. "I'm still letting all of this sink in."
"So, who's who?", Angelo asked. "I know Cassidy is water."
"Water, also.", Irma said.
"Fire.", Tarane and Alchemy said.
"Earth.", Cornelia and Caleb said.
"Air!", Hay Lin said in her normal chipper tone.
"Quintessence.", Will said.
"I'm going to be air.", Selece replied.
"So, that'll make be quintessence.", Angelo figured. "I won't be wearing any pink, will I?"
"Do you see me wearing any pink?", Caleb asked in an annoyed tone.
"You don't know a joke when you hear one do you, buddy?", Angelo asked. "You're way to serious, man."
"All joking aside, it is time for you and Selece to become Guardians.", Halinor said as she got to her feet.
"Indeed it is, Halinor.", the Oracle said as he made the Aurameres of Air and Quintessence appear. "Step forward Selece and Angelo."
"You ready?", Angelo asked his friend as they stepped up to the Oracle.
"Not really.", Selece replied. "This is... BIG!"
"Tell me about it.", Angelo said as they stood before the Oracle.
'Do not worry, young ones.', the Oracle said to them telepathiclly. 'If you were not worthy of this, then you would not be here.'
'Are you using telepathy?', Selece questioned through her thoughts.
'Indeed.', the Oracle said. 'When you two become Guardians, you will learn that you all have share such a link with each other.'
'Cool!', Selece said with a smile.
'I take it you're ready.', Angelo said to Selece through the telepathic link the Oracle had up between them.
"Then let us begin.", the Oracle said ready to bring them into the fold so to speak.
Once he said, the two Aurameres floated in front of Angelo and Selece. The silver Air Guardian Auramere shot a beam of power at Selece while the white Quintessence Auramere shot a beam of power at Angelo. Once the beams hit them they were encircled in balls of light. Selece's silver, Angelo's white.
"They're going to be okay, right?", Micheal asked Cornelia as his sister and Angelo were transforming.
"They'll be find.", Cornelia said. "Me and the others go through the same thing when we transform.", she said as the light around Angelo and Selece faded.
Once it faded, everyone looked to see an eighteen year old looking Angelo who was looking well built and toned in body. Coming out of his back were black falcon wings that matched the color of his hair which was still in dreads that were more past his shoulders. He was dressed in a pair of black pants with brown leather boots with a white tank-top with a brown leather battle harness over the tank-top. On his wrist were brown leather bracers with a leather headband on his head. In his left hand, he held a round shield that had the symbol of unity on it.
"Okay. This is... new.", Angelo said looking down at himself.
"I'll say.", Selece said getting everyone's attention as she was looking down at herself.
Selece now looked eighteen with long black hair that went down to her waist. But it was the outfit she was wearing that surprised a lot of them. It was a long pink gown with purple boots and green and purple stockings. Her outfit was that of Nerissa Diamond. Former Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar and rouge Guardian that caused a lot of trouble for Kandrakar and the Guardians. It didn't take long for Selece to see that most of the Guardians, both old and new, were giving her odd looks.
"What?", Selece questioned.
"It's your outfit.", Will said.
"What's wrong with it?", Selece asked.
"It's the same as Nerissa's!", Caleb snapped making Selece jump back a bit.
"What's the deal?", Irma yelled.
"What the heck is going on?", Micheal asked.
"Nerissa. Nerissa.", Angelo said remembering something. "You told me about her, Grampa. Isn't she your best friend?"
"Sure is.", Joe said gettig a shocked look from Will. "Don't give me that look, Kiddo. I know of the bad she's done. But I still believe that deep down she still has some good in her."
"And how do you think that?", Irma questioned.
"Yeah! What good thing has she ever done?", Caleb questioned.
"I'm looking at him.", Joe said in a calm voice as he looked Caleb in the eye. "She gave birth to you, son. If that's not a sign of love, then I don't know what is."
"He has you there, Caleb.", Will said.
"But, Will...", Caleb began to say before Will held up her hand stopping him.
"Nerissa and Julian loved each other enough to bring you into the world.", Will said. "That's a sign of love. You have to admit that."
"Maybe so, but she's done much harm too!", Caleb said.
"Which is why young Selece wears the garb of the former Guardian.", the Oracle said. "I believe that she will bring honor to it."
"Ummm... Thanks.", Selece said still feeling a bit confused.
"Your fellow Guardians will explain things to you later.", the Oracle said with a kind smile before opening a fold. "But for now you all must head to Metamoor."
"Is there another attack?", Will questioned.
"No, but there is something of great important that young Micheal must be there for.", Tibor said.
"Me?", Micheal questioned.
"Yes, you.", Joe said. "So get going."
"Ooookay.", Micheal said as she stepped towards the fold. "Here goes nothing.", he said as he stepped through the fold.
"This should be fun.", Angelo said as he stepped towards the fold.
Before he stepped through the fold, he turned to see a nervous Selece.
"You coming, Selece?", Angelo asked getting the new Guardian's attention.
"I... I don't know.", Selece said. "This is a lot to take in."
"It was a lot for me to take in when I was a kid.", Angelo said as he walked up to Selece and held her right hand. "You're not alone in this.", he said giving her a smile that she returned.
Selece then felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked to see Will there.
"We got your back.", she said smiling at her friend. "You're gonna love Metamoor. It's like being in midlevel times."
"Really?", Selece questioned as they went through the fold followed by the others.
Once they were all through the fold, the Oracle closed it leaving him and his council along with Yan Lin, Kadma, and Joe there in the fortress.
"I wonder how things will turn out now with Selece and Angelo as Guardians.", Kadma pondered.
"Only time will tell, my friend.", Yan Lin said. "But if she's anything like her grandmother, then Selece will do fine."
"I'm not to worried about Angelo.", Joe said. "With all that we've done with him, he'll be okay."
"All will be well, my friends.", the Oracle said. "Together, they will be a powerful fighting force for good."
"Well, shall see.", Endarno said. "They must learn to work together first."
"Time will show what happens.", Alfor said. "One must have faith."
"Well said, my friend.", Tibor said.
"Well, said indeed.", Luba agreed.
Meanwhile, on Metamoor, Angelo along with Selece and Micheal were amazed at the palace they were in. And they were surprised to find out who it belonged to.
"Wait a sec!", Micheal said as they were walking down the halls of the palace. "Elyon is not only from this world, but the queen of this kingdom."
"But she's on Earth to finish her high school education.", Selece added.
"And Caleb, Drake, and Aldern are also from this world.", Angelo finished.
"Yes. Yes. And yes.", Alchemy said.
"You've had an interesting time since you've moved here.", Selece said to Will.
"And then some.", Will said with a grin.
"So if you all are Guardians, then what with the beef you've got with Cornelia?", Micheal asked Will.
"It's complicated.", Taranee said not wanting to stir trouble.
"What's so complicated about Cornelia almost killing Will?", Irma questioned with a smirk making Micheal, Angelo, and Selece stop in their tracks.
"Irma!", Hay Lin said giving her best friend a scowl.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!", Selece said. "Back up! What happened now?"
"Why don't you show them, Taranee.", Irma said.
"Yeah, Taranee.", Caleb said. "Show them, and let them be the judge."
"Show us what?", Micheal questioned.
"Through our telepathic link, I can show Selece and Aneglo what happened THAT day.", Taranee explained.
"But not me, because I'm not a Guardian.", Michael figured.
"But Elyon can show all three of you.", Hay Lin said. "As the Heart of Metamoor, she can do that."
"She's a living Heart?", Angelo questioned.
"Yep. And a powerful one at that.", Cassidy said as they continued to walk towards the Throne Room of the palace.
Once at the Throne Room doors, the guards opened the doors letting the young heroes in. Once inside, they saw Elyon and her Honor Guard there with their weapons.
"Hey, guys!", Elyon said as she walked up to them. "Micheal?"
"Ummmm... Hi, Elyon.", Micheal said with a friendly wave.
"What am I? Chopped liver?", Selece questioned.
"Selece? Angelo?", Elyon questioned. "You two are Guardians? And why are you wearing Nerissa's outfit?", she asked Selece?"
"The Oracle says that she'll bring honor to it again.", Cassidy said. "And I think he's right.", she said making Selece smile.
"Talk about your surprises.", Drake said walking up to the group with the rest of the Honor Guard. "Welcome to Meridain, my friends."
"Thanks. Like you outfit.", Micheal said referring to Drake's clothes. "It fits you."
"Thanks.", Drake said as Aldern walked up to them.
"Hello, my friends.", Aldern said.
"Do we know you?", Selece questioned.
"It's Aldern.", Taranee replied.
"No way!", Angelo said.
Aldern then took out his ring and put it on. Once he did this, his glamour of him looking African-American kicked in.
"Whoa!", Angelo, Selece, and Micheal said as Aldern took his ring off removing the glamour.
"So, can I ask why you guys are here?", Elyon asked. "It's good to see you all, but..."
"Oh yeah!", Alchemy said. "The Oracle said that Micheal had to be here."
"Oh. OH!", Elyon said. "So you're the one he told me about!"
"What do you mean?", Cornelia asked.
"Well, the Oracle told me that a friend from Earth would be one of the people that'll have a Heart charged weapon.", Elyon explained.
"So you can use a weapon?", Aldern asked.
"Well, Angelo and I have been training with a number of weapons.", Micheal replied. "Swords, short swords, battle axes, daggers, knives, maces."
"War hammers, staves, battle batons, tonfas, greaves, gloves.", Angelo continued. "Heck! Selece can use the staff pretty well."
"Impressive.", Julian said.
"Then I guess the Oracle was wise to pick you in joining us.", Raythor said. "Come lad. Much needs to be done.", he said as he and the rest of the Honor Guard formed a circle around Elyon while holding up the weapon they wanted to be Heart charged.
Alborn had a long sword, Miriadel had a bow, Raythor had his long sword, Julian also had a long sword, Vathek had his morning star mace, Tynar had a spear, Drake had a short handle mace, and Aldern had a battle-axe.
"Pick a weapon, Micheal.", Elyon said pointing towards a table that had plenty of weapons on it for him to pick.
"Wow! That's a lot of weapons.", he said as he looked at all the weapons. "But I think I'll go with this one.", he said as he picked the broad sword. "I can use this for offence and defence.", he said as he took his spot in the circle that was in between Drake and Aldern with his weapon raised. "So what happens now?"
"This.", Elyon said as she formed a ball of energy and let it float into air.
Once it was high enough it slipt into eight balls of energy and each of those balls went into one of the eight weapons in the circle. Once they did, the weilders of the weapons felt a tingle from said weapons.
"What was that?", Drake questioned as he looked down at his weapon.
"That, Drake, was me giving your weapons a bit of my power.", Elyon explained. "It's not much, but it'll give you all the edge against our newest enemies. The stronger you are the stronger your weapon will be."
"If only our soldiers had this kind of edge.", Raythor said as he sheathed his sword.
"If only.", Julian agreed.
"I already thought about that.", Elyon said as she walked up to the table of weapons. "A few months ago, Aketon discovered some crystals that, if carefully carved, can be of great use to us. So I asked him and some other blacksmiths to see what they could do with them. The best they could do for now are spearheads, like the one Tynar's spear, daggers, and arrowheads.", she explained as she walked up to her adoptive mother with a quiver full of arrows. "I hope they are of great use to you, mother.", she said as she handed Miriadel the quiver of arrows.
Miriadel took an arrow out and saw that it's tip was of the yellow crystal like the head of Tynar's spear.
"Beautiful.", she said as she admired the arrowhead before putting it back in the quiver with the other arrows. "Thank you, daughter.", she said with a smile. "I'll make every shot count."
"I know you will.", Elyon said returning the smile.
"So what happens now?", Selece asked.
"Now we do some training.", Cassidy said. "And may I suggest we start with teaching you and Angelo how to fly."
"I'm up for that.", Angelo said. "Last thing I need is to be crashing into a wall."
"Amen to that.", Selece said.
"Mind if we use you courtyard to do some training, Elyon?", Alchmey asked.
"Knock yourselves out.", Elyon said. "Matter fact, I'll come with. I could use the break."
"The more the merrier.", Cornelia said as they all exited the Throne Room.
"This should be fun.", Irma said sarcastically. "Training a bunch of newbies when we could be working on some advance stuff."
"You complain too much.", Taranee said. "Besides. For all we know, Selece and Angelo may take to their powers quickly."
"We'll see.", Caleb said thinking they'd have a time getting used to their powers.
'We'll see indeed.', he thought to himself as they made their way to the courtyard to train.
A/N: Well, it looks like that not only are Selece and Angelo Guardians, but Micheal is one of the people that has a Heart charged weapon. And Cornelia is still a Guardian! Looks like things are looking up. But that's when things start to happen as well. You'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Please review.
