The Light We Share

Chaper 12

Author' Note: Greetings all! I'm so sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long! School had taken up my time and I didn't have much time to write, but it's summer for me now! And I've finished!! I hope you like it!

They entered the Wasteland's portal. There were a lot more people than Nightowl was used to when she arrived on the other side. Spirits from the other Realms were there already, talking quietly amongst themselves.

They all looked to her as soon as she popped into the space. She felt a little nervous, but she knew everything would be ok...at least, she hoped.

"Well? What's the plan?" Purple asked, looking around.

"We're going to meet the Wasteland Elder first. We need to break into groups to go to the different sections of the Wasteland and herd the new Dragons." Nightowl replied.

"However shall we get there? The Dragons will surely spot us if we go... down there." The Telekinetic asked.

"By using a different way," Nightowl replied, walking over to the stone pillar that had the secret passage. She gave the specific knock combination she'd remembered onto the stone, and the door opened. "After you."

One by one, the Spirits and her friends all descended the secret passage, dropping down the middle of the spiraling staircase. Nightowl followed behind them, her mind speeding through her plan, hoping all would work according to how she thought of it.

Because if it didn't...

It sealed the fate of the entire Sky Kingdom in stone.

They walked down the long corridor once they all touched ground at the bottom of the staircase. Nightowl was quickly ushered to the front of the line by everyone so she could lead the way.

She felt nervous as she walked in front of everyone, but she tried not to show it.

"I see the calvary is here," a familiar voice said to her left.

"Kurse!" Nightowl breathed, a bit startled. "What brings you here?"

"Well, all the sounds of shuffling footsteps and nervous whispers caught my attention," Kurse replied coolly. "You've got everyone you need?"

"Think so," Nightowl answered. "Just nervous."

"Anyone would be nervous in your situation."

"Was that supposed to be comforting?"

"A little."

"Thanks, I guess."

"Try and look at the bright side; if it all works out, you'll never have to do this again!"

"Yeah, there is that."

"If you want, I could join you."

"I wouldn't mind that. Which team do you want to be with?"

"Whichever one you're in. I feel like you need the moral support."

Nightowl looked at Kurse, a glint of thankfulness shining in her orbs. He looked back, a knowing light in his eyes.

"Why'd we stop?" The Butterfly Charmer asked cautiously.
