50 Lunox

Minotaur's hammer crushed the Twilight Orb into pieces. Gusion who had stood back upto his feet, saw the Twilight Orb slowly fading away into dust. Alice was right next to him, also getting back to her feet. Everyone else who was fighting paused for a moment and went to the center.

"Minotaur, what the hell did you do??? Are you out of your mind?!" Gusion shouted, not believing what he just did.

"No, the Twilight Orb!" Alice shouted. "You damned Minotaur!!! I'll cut your throat!!!!!"

Suddenly, the dust sparkled, and it spinned rapidly up in the air. It was moving in a fast circular motion.

"What's going on???"

Suddenly, the dust slowly formed a golden portal. A huge blast of light shined through the portal. It was so bright that they had to cover thier eyes.

"Clint??? Where are you?!" Layla shouted.

"My eyes! I can't see!!! Roger shouted.

"What's happening?" Harith asked.

"So bright! I hate light!!! Dyrroth shouted.

The light ray stopped. They could see the galaxy behind it. The stars were bright and the planets stood still. They saw the constellation of Libra behind it.

"Is that, space? Gusion asked."

"What's the meaning of this?!" Alice shouted.

The stars of Libra alligned, and everyone saw it clearly. The space disappeared and a pure white background appeared. They saw a girl walking out of the portal. Minotaur put his hammer on the ground, went down on his knees and bowed his head. As the girl got closer, her clothes became more visible. In her left side, a white orb was floating, while a dark orb was on her right. She had golden and black hair. Her dressed was mixed with white and black. Her eyes glowed a million colors like space.

"Welcome back Luno... your Highness." Minotaur said.

To everyone's shock it was Lunox. The goddess trapped inside the Twilight Orb. She put her hand on Minotaur's head.

"Thank you, my child." Lunox whispered.

Commander Yi quickly came over to Gusion, carrying his glaive and longbow.

"The rumors were real, she exists!" Yi whispered.

Minotaur moved out of the way as Lunox stood in front of everyone. Everyone else were just staring in confusion.

"I am Lunox, the Twilight Goddess. One of the twelve constellations, Libra.

Suddenly, Leomord bowed before Lunox. Vexana was confused as she saw Leomord bowing to someone else.

"Leomord! Get up! What on earth are you doing???" Vexana asked.

Leomord looked up behind him and said, "My queen, she is the Twilight Goddess. The peacemaker, the protector of the Land of Dawn. Don't you remember her?"

"Who are you people? Where am I? What is happening???" Lunox asked.

"Your Highness, a thousand years have passed since you fell asleep. A lot has changed ever since.

"A thousand years? It felt like five seconds! What happened to..."

"Shut up!!! We don't care who or what you want from us. We just want the Twilight Orb! Give it back!!!!!" Alice shouted.

Lunox set her focus on Alice, who was angered and stressed out. Lunox's expression started to change.

"The Twilight Orb? A demon queen? Who are you???"

"I guess words won't work, but this will!!!"

Alice threw a giant blood orb to take out Lunox. As the orb exploded, the others backed away due to the force. After that spell, Lunox was standing still, confusingly looking at Alice.

"Die!!!!"

She threw blood orbs, one after another. Lunox was just standing, absorbing all her attacks. Alice eventually gave up, as she didn't cause not a single scratch on Lunox.

"What happened to the Abyss? Why are you so disrespectful?"

"I am the Demon Queen!!! I rule over the entire Land of Dawn and not a single one of you dares to face me!!!" Alice replied.

Lunox got a bit angry and lauched a shot a ball of light magic on Alice. Alice fell hard on the ground, and she became angrier.

"Dyrroth, Terizla, Aldous, kill her!!!"

Suddenly, Aldous fell in pain as Lunox shot a ball of chaos onto Aldous. She approached him and grabbed him by his mask and put her hand on his head. After a few seconds, his skull mask slowly turned into a Minoan mask, and his flaming fist went back to normal.

"You're a Contractor are you? What are you doing?"

"H-Huh? What happened? Minotaur??? Where are you?????" Aldous asked.

"Hey Aldous what's gotten into you?" Terizla asked.

"Huh? Who are you? Why is the Twilight Goddess standing in front of me?"

"It seems you got brainwashed. Why is the Abyss doing this? They weren't like this a thousand years ago!" Lunox said.

"It's been a long time Twilight Goddess. A thousand years have passed and everything has changed." Leomord said, walking in front.

"Leomord! Get back here! You're not supposed to interfere!" Vexana shouted.

"Leomord? That name sounds familiar but I don't remember." Lunox said.

"Oh cut the crap! Kill her!!!" Alice shouted.

Thamuz got his scythes and attacked Lunox, only to get hit with a Cosmic Wave. Dyrroth, Terizla and Argus charged forward as Thamuz fell down. Lunox used her dark magic and shot blast after blast until they were all down. However, Dyrroth sneaked up behind her.

"Die!"

Leomord blocked the attack with his Oath Keeper. Dyrroth went back to his feet after failing the attack. He threw a circular attack towards Leomord, which he got knocked down.

"It's your turn Twilight Goddess!"

Before Dyrroth could even attack, Gusion went through him with his Holy Blade. Dyrroth fell on the ground and slowly backed away. The other demons picked him up and backed away further.

"We'll come back for you! The Abyss shall prevail!!!" Alice shouted.

And so, the demons summoned a portal back to the Abyss. After a few seconds, they were gone.

"Minotaur, what happened here? Why are the forces of light and dark fighting here?" Lunox asked.

"The Dark Abyss held us captive for three days already. They waited until this boy and his friends would return the Twilight Orb here. For thousands of years, the Twilight Orb went hidden here, until Selena came here. I don't know how, but the country of Moniya got it back. All I know is that it was this boy who last got it, and returned it back here, but they were ambushed and all this happened." Minotaur said.

"So this guy returned the Twilight Orb? Then why does everyone want it?" Leomord asked.

"Because of its power Leo." Lunox said. "Everyone wanted to catch me, until I became the Twilight Orb itself."

"Your Highness, I think he's another demon! Stay away..."

"Hey, I was once a swordsman from Lionhart, until that Alice came! And after a thousand years, she's still alive! I wouldn't be here if my queen didn't ressurect me!"

"Wait, so Lionhart is gone?"

"Yes it is." Vexana said. "Now we fight both the Abyss and the Moniyan Empire. And speaking of the Twilight Orb, we aren't included here. We came to ambush Alice."

After that, Vexana used her Arrival skill and took Leomord and Faramis with her. They disappeared into the sky. Lunox looked at Gusion, holding his Holy Blade and looking up to the sky.

"Hey, what's your name?"
