Chapter 5: Strange call

"I still find it hard to believe one of your own could betray you", said Dante as they journeyed to the fairy colony. "Not until I saw it with my own eyes".

"I had always suspected the chief elders of our colony to have a defect in their judgement", Marget said. "After the Queen was gone, another wanted to take her place, with the princess not being around".

"How long have you left home", Emma asked. 

"For a very long time as long as I can remember", Sharlene replied. 

"Four years... I believe so", Margret replied. "Before we were assigned by our Queen to look for her".

"Sharlene. Am so sorry to hear that", Emma said in a low tone.

"I should never had left home in the first place", said Sharlene in a sad tone. "It's all my fault".

"And all will be resolved my Princess, once you take your rightful place as Queen in the colony", said Margret. "Many awaits your arrival".

They followed the pathway that led to a river canal at night, where they stopped.

"Why are we here?", Grace asked. "Why stop here".

"This is the entrance to the fairy colony", Sharlene replied as she lits a finger with her fairy magic to create an entrance as they all watched in amazement.

"The gateway moves from time to time and can only be spotted by fairy's alone", Margret said. As Karl, Emma and Grace entered, with Dante who was about to enter was pulled back by vampire fairy out of nowhere. Margret on the other hand came to the rescue as she burnt down the vampire fairy that attacked Dante with her fairy magic to a crisp, only for it to recover in no time as it roared at them. It came flying towards them when Sharlene unleashed a full fairy blast that killed it in an instant as it turned to pile of ash.

They all got into the gateway and made it to the fairy colony in one piece. It's a beautiful place to behold, seeing some fairy guards stand firm to protect the entrance and being their first time to the fairy colony or world as Dante puts it. It was a really good place. They saw.

A golden gate who's length measured to be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A tree made of pure gold with it's fruit around the beryl. A golden monument of the Queen fairy Alicia East at the center of the colony. Exotic blooms all around as the sprite flies towards the edge of the skies. Some grounds are covered and built in golds that still reflects, some diamonds, and others in silver. Their streams and waterfalls are extremely pure known to be the fountain of youth. And a rare flowers blossom everyday. The fairy time doesn't affect the real world of none fairies. A day to a fairy in a fairy colony is a hundred years, two days equals two hundred years, seconds are days, minutes are weeks and months are years but to none fairy's the time still remains the same to the outside world.

"It's a beautiful place", Karl Carl said. As they all looked amazed. They walked straight to them main council with some fairy guards trying to stop them as the princess informed them they were with her. They got in, only to see the elderly fairies assemble themselves. 

"What is this?", Sharlene asked. "Who ordered this council?". Then one of the female elderly fairy stood up and said. "Her Majesty has returned after four years of abandoning her people. Things have changed around here". She said. 

Then Sharlene informed them about Damian's plan to sell her out for the colony of which most of them were aware of. Sharlene hearing this became very upset, seeing her own people try to sell her out.

"It is of best interest that our colony comes first when you abandoned her ways", said one of the elderly male fairy. "Damian's ideas of keeping our colony safe from war was the only way to secure our future". As indistinct conversation were heard among the council. Then Emma stood forward to speak with the council.

"For centuries we've lived in fear, the fear of the unknown, while trying to build a better world and future for our colony, it only takes a leap of faith to get there, trusting in one another rather than fight against each other, there's still hope and your colony are one of them. This is something your Queen would have wanted, to see her people make the right choice to bring peace among all colonies and clans". 

Few were able to give in to the suggestions of Emma, while others still grumble within themselves. Then one of the fairy council stood up and said. "Who're you to pass judgement on us, telling us what to do, and who are you to speak for the princess". He said angrily. As Grace was about to step forward in anger, she was calmed by Emma who Sharlene then gave a reply to the council.

"This is Emma Stone", said Sharlene. "The great descendant of the immortal Dracula". 

The entire council all gasps and began to murmur within and among themselves.

"Is this true?", said one of the female elder. "That the descendant of Stone stands before us. We thought of you to be a myth, Emma Stone. But with you here among us, I believe there's hope".

Then, one of the elder council stood up and said. "It's too late... Damian is on his way with the Lycans, he wants to be king".

"Well we can't let him, you've got Sharlene as the heir to the Queen", said Grace as she stepped forward. "The lycanthropes wouldn't protect you, Damian's been fooled, they'll only rule over you all as slaves, and take everything away from you all".

"So what must we do?", Another asked.

"We fight back and protect our home", Sharlene replied. "We've each other, and we've Emma Stone". She said while looking at Emma with hope. As the council members departed to their various post.

Sharlene asked Emma to come with her while the rest went on with their business, the fairy guards were assigned by Sharlene to take her friends to their quarters as they'll be treated well. She took Emma to one of her favorite place where they could see the entire colony from afar, it was a beautiful site to behold as Sharlene asks Emma how good she was in harnessing her fairy magic.

"Not too good, I guess", Emma replied. 

"Not a problem... I'll teach you", Sharlene said with a smile on her face. "There are some basic things to need to know about fairy's magic Emma. You're very unique to be blessed with so much potentials in you. And the only supernatural to ever possess all supernatural abilities, not many are pleased with your gifts Emma as many would come for it, wanting what you have".

Sharlene began to teach Emma the basics of fairy's magic and how to harness great powers within her. "The rules of fairy's magic are simple and requires concentration on your first day of practice, once all procedures are complete, you can now will its powers at will", Sharlene said. "Unlike the witches magic, fairy's magic far more powerful and deadly, which is why we've a fairy golden rule that we all must abide to".

"And what are the rules?", Emma asked.

"Rule number one", Sharlene replied. "We do not kill unless the situations calls for... We do not abuse our gifts".

"Rule number two", Sharlene said. "A fairy must trust that they're able to protect their colony, to be selfless and put others needs above theirs. We do not make trouble of any kind, we're peaceful being of unique purpose".

"Rule number three", Sharlene said. "Abide by the rule of law... It is the way of the fairy colony". As she explained all the rules to her before they began training. Teaching her the meditation techniques of a fairy. Sharlene was able to construct a glowing energy that emits from her in golden aura as she explained it to be a repelling spell and showed her another source of harnessing her fairy's blast in which it's a destructive construct that can pulverise an enemy using the environment within as a means of increasing your potential. This kind of spell draws life force out of every living organisms within various or wide range. She then taught her the binding spells, which are able to immobilize an enemy for a long period of time, this kind of spell last twenty-four hours for a supernatural, unless you're a witch or fairy that can break through the spell, but if left on human, they'll simply die if not being freed. Witches also use this spells as well as everything becomes motionless. 

Telekinesis spell, common in both witches and fairies as it is the ability to move objects with the power of one's mind. There pyschic powers and spells are so great that they possess clairvoyance as well, witches are known to foresee the future by divination, whereas fairies have the power to see the future via psychokinesis. This abilities runs in the royal blood line or someone assigned as a ruler. Fairies also have precognition. 

Pryokinesis are found in fairies and witches, it is the psychic ability to control and create fire and hot temperatures. In witches, it is called cryokinesis but witches calls theirs the witches fire, but we will not go into this. The story returns to Sharlene and Emma who's on their training session.

Empathy spell, in fairies are able to Identify with or understand the thoughts, feelings, or emotional state of any supernaturals. In witches they've the ability to psychically read another person's emotions, including any supernaturals. Witches have the upper hand on empathy spells as they're capable of sensing the presence of other forces such as ghost and spirits which fairies do not possess.

Telepathy spell of which most vampires possess this abilities as well as capable of hypnotizing other supernaturals like humans, wolves and Lycans, but in this case fairy's telepathy are the greatest when it comes to this psychic abilities. They are able to communicate at long range, no matter where they are even within and outside the fairy colony. Witches are the second when it comes to telepathy but are unable to break the barriers of fairy's world when using telepathy, they've limits. Fairies use sympathetic affection of one mind by the thoughts, feelings, or emotions of another at a distance, without communication through the ordinary channels of sensation.

Teleportation spell. Fairies are capable of transporting themselves at far distance with ease and are much more quicker than any witches or vampires. Although not all vampires possess this unique abilities.

Levitation spell and flight spell. This is most common in all supernaturals such as fairies, witches, vampires, tribrids and hybrids. Depends on both tribrids and hybrids which are part fairy, vampire or witch that possess this abilities. Fairies are able to fly with their fairy wings like that of a butterfly unlike the vampire fairy and witches which both possess mighty wings like that of an eagle in form of a bat wings.

Invisibility spell, this kind of spell are used by fairies and witches and of course tribrids and hybrids that both share similar traits of witches and faires. It can also be counteracted by those who are able to break the spell. Vampires and Lycanthropes can only sense when an opponent is invisible but can not be detected. In this spell, witches use their magical pendants to activate this spell just as it will be discussed in the intangibility spell.

Attraction spell. It creates a strong bond of loyalty and slavery to the wielder, it is said to be the most difficult spell to repel against.

 Intangibility spell. Only fairies have the unique abilities to become intangible at will, unlike witches they put on a pendant that grants them the ability to be intangible. One cannot be touched when in this state.

After six years of enlightenment, Sharlene had taught Emma the ways of fairies and how to harness her powers. Emma had become excellent in her abilities and with no word from Damian yet. Just then, gateway began to breach, like something trying to force it way through. The guards saw this as they sounded the alarm to prepare for battle. 

Damian came through the gateway with battalions of hunters, Lycans, hybrids, wolves, vampire fairies and witches to attack the colony.

During the tumult, Damian came to the scene, shouted and pointed at Sharlene and said. "She's mine, the last of our royal descendant". As he transformed into a vampire fairy while charging towards the princess. Emma and her friends fought against Damian's army. With the ongoing turmoil, Damian battled with the princess tremendously as they fought in midair, using whatever means at their disposal. He grabbed her by the neck as he spins her around before dropping her to the ground with great impact, landing on top of a building rooftop.

"Why are you doing this Damian?", Sharlene asked. "At what cost?".

"For the greater good, a power beyond like any other... It is without flaws, far beyond the great council of supernaturals", said Damian. "Your mother was too blind to avert it because she knew she couldn't, for thousands of years she lived before all, she's all... For among them was before all".

"Who is she. Damian?", Sharlene asked. "What better peace could we have than for the peace of all colonies reuniting together as one".

Damian laughed when he heard all what she had said, he looked at her pitifully and said. "Your death will be remembered amongst the colony my Queen". He rushed at her but was eventually stopped by Emma who used a binding spell on Damian who was able to recover in no time. He stared at Emma surprisingly. 

"What are you?", Damian asked. "Tribrid, fairy, hybrid, a witch or a vampire?", He said. "No matter what you're you'll not survive". While coming at full speed at Emma, only to be pushed aside with great impact by Sharlene's magic. "Please Damian I don't wanna hurt you", Sharlene said. "You can change your ways and find redemption... And help win this war". 

With Damian refusing to change his ways came again at full force but only to use his telekinesis this time to push Emma aside while going at Sharlene as she unleashed her most lethal attack on Damian which pulverized him without a trace. The flames burnt through his skin like thousand fires of the sun, from the inside out he was consumed, breaking apart into fragmented pieces as he burst into nothingness. Sharlene weeps at his death, seeing that she had killed one of her own and with the ongoing war, Emma who had regained stamina came to Sharlene as they stood on top of a building rooftop, Sharlene spread forth her wings as she flew into the air while casting a spell that vanquish the entire battalions of Damian. 

With such mighty display of incredible powers, the enemies were tossed without a trace as massive energy was felt all around. The story goes on to tell how Sharlene became the Queen mother of all fairies after the war and after her mother had passed on.

Their colony was rebuilt with magic and after the war was over, a great coronation was held in Sharlene's honor to be crowned Queen of all fairies. And with the colony at peace once more, there's every chance of winning the coming war.

Later that night, Sharlene and Emma went out to discuss with the others who were busy celebrating their victory. It was peaceful and quiet, calm gentle breeze whispers sounds of melody from the sprite. 

"Emma! I want to personally thank you for all you've done for this colony", Sharlene said. "There's every hope of winning this war and we fairies are ready to stand and fight by your side. As we're forever indebted to you".

"I wish to continue this journey with you Emma". Sharlene said as Emma held unto her hands and said with a smile. "Your people needs you now than ever Sharlene".

"Thank you Emma", Sharlene said with a kiss on Emma's lips. As they watched the sprite moved in uniform towards the nightlight. 

The next day, Emma and her friends continued their quest in finding the guardian after they had left the fairy colony with Sharlene being with her people as Queen. When they came out of the gateway they were been watched by another being who secretly followed their every movement, and when they came across a junction located at the east centre coast of Pytaminc they heard strange noise within the woods as Karl Carl could smell danger, when two hybrids and three Lycans came charging towards them but was stopped by an unidentified presence who had made them motionless at first before vaporizing them into nothingness.

They all watched in amazement to what had happened.

"Emma is this your doing?", Grace asked. As Emma replied with a "no".

Just then, the stranger who had been following them came to Emma as she uncovers her hood, revealing her identity.

"Emma stone!", She said. "My name is Becca Addison. And we, sisters of witches of the light need your help".

"What do you mean by we?", Dante asked. The witches of the light began to reveal themselves as they touched their pendants which made them visible and tangible again.

"What da' hell", said Grace. As they were surrounded by some witches of the light.

"So where do we go next?", Emma asked. 

"We're already here! Emma", Becca Addison replied. "This entire place is merely an illusion and with our unique powers combined we put the words in your heart that led you here".

Here the Pytaminc is a magical entrance to the witches of the light, a metaphor from it literal meaning making it look like a forest path while it's usually a cave like tunnel as an entrance cloaked with magic.

They all entered the cave like tunnel that led to the main entrance of their coven. And when they got in, they saw a golden monument statue and tapestry of Sarah Lance in her honor, ancient writings on tablets of prophecies, old manuscripts, inscription in witches language, some ancient artifacts, antiques and old relics of Sarah Lance wand. 

"What are those?", Karl Carl asked. 

"It is to honor our great ancestors... Most especially Sarah Lance. The mother of all, she built this entire place with her mere words, unlike the Wicca sabbath which was built entirely out of nothingness with her unfathomable powers", Becca Addison said. "Here at the Pytaminc, we're guardians and lookout of wicca sabbat, it's our job to inform the wicca sabbat of any incoming threat, and that I fear Emma. The sisters of the dark Han are upon us".

"Come with me, you need to see this", Becca Addison said. 

She took them to the hall of prophecies engraved on tablet stones, where she showed her almost all the prophecies that had been fulfilled for thousands of years and the one's that are yet to be fulfilled.

"Before the prophecies came to be, the Queen mother and mother of all put the words together. They predicted and had seen what was to come", Becca Addison said. "These prophecies serves as a guide to our future, even from the day you were born. Emma Stone. The prophecy had foretold your coming".

She began explaining to Emma, while Karl Carl, Dante and Grace looked around at the other prophecies. They saw the prophecy of them rescuing Charlie Adams in the woods, training in the fairy colony with Sharlene, and the coming war".

"No way", Grace whispered. 

"What is that?", Dante asked. "Seeing a prophecy that fluctuate". As they all stared at it.

"That is the final prophecy we've known to be for now", Becca Addison said. "It's revelation isn't certain". With Emma spotting a faded word which says "For among them was before all". 

"What does that mean", Emma asked.

"The very first of all supernaturals!", Becca Addison replied.

"So there was a supernatural before all", Emma said.

"Yes!", Becca Addison replied. "But the prophecy haven't revealed it's true meaning".

While in their discussion, another witch approached them, as she stood behind the door, clearing her throat to get their attention.

"Sister!...", Becca said as she introduced them to Fuji. 

"Emma Stone", Fuji said with a smile, as she came close to her, holding both of her hands. "Just as the prophecy's is foretold, that our light will guide your way to us... You're welcome".

"I'm Fuji, the chancellor of this coven", Fuji said. "We're highly honored to have you here in our presence".

"Sister Becca!", Fuji said. "Please entertain our honorable guest and show them to their chambers".

"Yes! Wise one", said Becca as she took Emma's friends with her to their chambers whereas Emma walked and talked with Fuji.

"For thousands of years, we've waited for a sign... A sign of hope that one day the prophecies will be fulfilled", said Fuji. As she stared at Emma. "I see you've improve on your fairy's side. I can sense your fairy's magic is strong, but you'll also need to harness and awaken the witch in you".

"I'll personally do the honors to awaken your abilities and magic bestowed upon you". Fuji said. "Tomorrow we shall begin, but first have some rest". As they stopped at Emma's chamber. "If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask" said Fuji.

Meanwhile, at wicca sabbat where Peggy Lance trains with the witches in gaining control of her powers. They had never seen anything like her aside from their ancestors whom they'd think rival her magic. She had improved greatly on her spells and enchantments, trained by the council of witches her progress exceeds their expectations.

"Peggy Lance!", said one of the council. "There's no doubt you've the blood of your ancestors flowing through you".

"You're now ready for the trials of initiation", said Dorothy. Pointing towards the passageway that leads to the trials of initiation.
