After we left the city, We unknowingly headed towards the Eeria Border, Chronos was guiding us there, "Alright, From my tracking..She's all the way past the border." He said, "But we can't go into Eeria, not without the king here.." i said, "I know someone who can get us past." Militha said as he looked at the trees, Just then, a large gust of wind Blasted the area, A man wearing Black and Green armor walked towards us, "I can get ya'll in." he said, "It's been a while Solo.." I said, "It really has." he said, "Thanks to Militha's guidance, I'm able to control the wind Gem." Solo said, "I also Have Forged the stone into One of these two Katanas", Solo Guided us past the border later on, We arrived to see the ruins of a great city, "What happened here..it all seems..recent." i said, Suddenly a loud roar could be heard, we both looked in the direction of the roar, a Large Lion with wings could be seen in the distance, It Flew off, just then we noticed someone was riding the Lion, "Who's that?" i said, Militha looked around the city, "I don't know..but whoever that was..caused all of this." he said as he kneeled down and picked something up, "What is that?" i asked, "Just as i predicted...It's Quinn.." he said, "Yes, I've been trying to not believe it as well, but my tracking tells me Quinn has been everywheres, And she's on that Lion as well." Chronos said. "Its a real shame everyones dead already, I was hoping i'd get to feed on some people..." she said, "alright i think it's time we split up.." Militha said, "Solo if you wish you can search on your own terms but Aeon, Church and Rose. all of you take the skies and search that way. Me, Key and Chronos will Look on ground.", "Yes sir." we all said accordingly, During our search, we found nothing, no tracks, no remains, no survivors, no hostages, Nothing, Solo headed back to his hometown, due to his current mission he was on with discovering a "New Element.", we all called him stupid for thinking such a thing but whatever, Rose left to go back to the palace along with church, Turns out Riots were being started without the guidance of the King. Later after they all left, we continued looking and found a single Ruined Town, All of the buildings except One, was destroyed. We investigated the building and found a sleeping Woman inside the building, She had long black hair and was wearing Plate Armor, she was wearing a necklace, With a see through gem embedded into the necklace, "Wait.. is this.." i said, realizing who the woman was, "This is Quinn.." i said, Militha, Stared at the necklace, "No way..That's impossible, How did she obtain the power stone." he said as he stepped back, "General, calm down..We'll get through this.." Chronos said as he slowly approached Quinn, Just then She Jumped up, All three of us went flying through the walls of the building. Quinn Ran out of the building, her eyes were pure white, "Quinn!" i yelled out as i attempted to run after her, By the time i got back up on my feet she had been out of sight, "Damn it!" i punched the ground, Chronos looked at both of us and Sighed, "This is bad.." he said, "What do you mean.." i asked in a mix of confusion and worry, "She's heading towards the World Tower, And not only that, she is currently in possession of the Power Gem." Militha said, "What do you mean?! I thought my father sealed that Gem away when I was a kid!" i yelled out in anger, "KEY! Calm down. He did, but the seal was somehow broken by someone." Chronos said, "We need to get to the World tower before she does." I said. "She's riding a lion with Wings. How are we gonna beat that!?" Militha said, Just them a large smirk spread across my face i took the Gem from my cloak and said the words "Dragon.", Just them it glowed, and The Black Dragon Mordaak Appeared from the skies, He landed on the ground and All three of us climbed on top of him, Mordaak took flight, About Ten minutes later we could see the World Tower in sight, "There! Mordaak!" i yelled, "As you command, Master." the Black Dragon said as he landed in front of the tower, All of us got off of Mordaak and he Faded back into the Gem, We were then approached by Three Men "What is your business at the World Tower?!" they demanded, Militha step forward,"One of our friends, who are currently Possessed by the Power stone, is on her way right now to this tower, We need help finding out how to stop the Power Stone." he said with a Serious tone, "The power stone?", "That's not possible,The Darkness Keeper Sealed away that stone long ago." they looked at each other, "My father did in fact Seal that stone away, but someone or something Unsealed it! We need help Defeating it. Please." I stepped forward and looked at them with what could only be described as "Determined.", "Wait? Your father? The book stated that Aryn had no children, What is this nonsense I hear?" they laughed, "Oh you don't believe i'm his son huh.. Well in that case, how about you hear it from Mordaak himself." i said as i took out the gem once more, Mordaak appeared once again "This Kid is indeed the son of Aryn BlackHallow, He is my current master, and is currently The Darkness keeper, He is Accompanied by the Fire Keeper and The Famous Time Traveler Known as Chronos Sergeiov." He said, Chronos chuckled "Famous huh?", "Mordaak himself.." one of the three spoke, Just then the other Opened the doors to the tower, "Very well, we will assist you, come with us." they said, We entered the tower and they guided us multiple flights of stairs, "Up here we have the Tome of Annihilation, It is told to be able to foresee the Future Destructions this world will take." one of them said, We went up one more flight of stairs, there was a pedestal with a book mounted on top of it, We approached the book and one of the men opened it, it instantly started flying through paged and stopped at a blank page, The page began to write on itself, "This..is bad." one of the men said, "What? What is it?" i said, "The book says, 'That power will overwhelm and the only way to stop it is with Ancient Elements.." He said, "What are the Ancient Elements?" i asked, Militha looked at me, "Keysloww, there are actually nine elements in total, but it is Completely DIfficult to use any magic in that Archetype, The Void Element, Manipulation of The Creatures within the abyss.. And Time Element, the Manipulation of Time and Space." Militha said, the three men nodded, Just then a loud crash could be heard, "Seekers!" someone yelled, "We're Under attack!" someone yelled in the distance, We rushed up to the top floor, Just then we could see, Quinn and her Lion, Attacking the Tower, Chunks of the tower began to crumble, "Here. Son of Aryn, Take the book, it is more safe in your hands. Let it help you on your quest, and take this Emblem. It will allow you and your friends access into the Floating City of Eluna, Go there and you will find the answers you seek." they said, "Now go! Leave this place at once!" they yelled, Mordaak Appeared and we all climbed on his back, We then Flew off, and watch the Tower be destroyed in the distance, "What now.." i said, "We need to go to Eluna.." Militha said, "Mordaak can you get us there?", "Yes, Militha. I can get us to the base of Eluna, but from there on out, you will need to go without me, my time here is fading." Mordaak said, "Alright...", We flew to what seemed to be a temple, Mordaak landed on the ground in front of it and All of us got off of him and walked inside the temple, Mordaak Faded and went back into the Gem. As we entered the temple the Emblem glowed and all of us were transported to the city above, "We're here.." i said, Just then, a man in a robe approached us, "Ah, i've been expecting you.." the man said, "Who are you?" Militha asked, "I Am Morth,I am a Sorcerer that trains here in Eluna." the man said, "Come, follow me.", he lead us to a building with two guards standing by the door, "The answers you seek are in here, Keysloww." Morth said , "How do you know my name." i said with confusion, He entered the building, It seemed to be a library, He took a book from the shelf and opened it, Just then, the pages changed, My gem started glowing and began draining energy from the book, "Whats going on?" i asked, "I know how to get Quinn back.." the gem said, "Mordaak?" i asked, "How?", "Now go, Rescue your friend." Morth said, I ran out of there and informed Militha about everything, We transported ourselves outside of the city, Just then, A loud roar could be heard, "What was that?" militha said, Quinn emerged from the shadows and Blasted us towards a wall, "Quinn!" i yelled, "Keysloww, you better know what you're doing." Militha said, "Mordaak." i said, I grabbed the gem, and it transformed into a spear, I ran towards Quinn, She took out the Power gem and it transformed into a sword, We clashed blades, Just them the spear began to emit a black fog, I Grabbed Quinn, along with the power gem, a black energy wave began to emit from my body, Consuming us both, I yelled as Cracks began to form in both gems, Just then a noise could be heard, "Keysloww stop! You're going to destroy both gems!" Chronos yelled, "That's the intention!' i yelled as i continued, Just then the black fog faded and both gems shattered into pieces, We both fell onto the ground unconscious. "No!" Militha yelled, Chronos hurried towards the scene, He Began to Put all pieces of the gems in a bag. Militha grabbed both of us and carried us out of there, "Dumbass.." he said, A White dragon Landed in front of us, "Come on, get on." Someone said, Church was there holding out his hand, "Alright.." Militha said as All of us got on the dragon, "Azinoth, Take us to the Temple." Church said as the dragon flew off into the distance, We landed at an unknown temple, Church got me off the back of Azinoth and took me inside the temple, he placed me on the floor and Chronos Gave him the bag containing the Gem pieces, He Placed all the Dark Gems in a circle and Placed one of the Power Gems in the center of that circle. Just then all the gems began to combine with each other, Reforming the Dark Gem, but with a Power Shard inside of it, "It worked.." Church said, He picked up the gem and placed it on my chest, Just then I woke up. "What happened.." i said as i looked around, "You were unconscious, You destroyed the power gem though.." Militha said, "i did?", "Yeah, though i don't think that'll be the end of it." Chronos said, We left for the city right away, And let Quinn rest, When i got back to the city, i didn't know what to do, I got back to the guild hall and spoke with Alex and Emily for a bit, but other than that, I just either slept or trained. I sat down at the bar, Just then,Emily approached me, "Key? Can i talk to you.." she said while looking away slightly, "Yeah..sure." i said, "Whats up?" i said, "i was just wondering if you wanted to go do something? Like..well a date?" she said, Instantly becoming flustered after hearing what she said, My face turned red, "Uh..yeah sure, why not.." i said, "Really?" she said with a smile, "Yeah, What do you wanna do?" i asked, "I'll come get you tonight alright?" she said, "Alright, I'll see you then.", , I headed back to the guild, "Alright, I have it done Militha." i said as i entered the building, "Good job Key." Militha said, I headed towards my house and went to rest for a bit, later on i heard a knock at my door, i opened my door to see Emily standing at my door wearing a dress, "Oh, hey Emily, Is it time already?" i said, "Give me a bit to get ready though."i said, i Quickly got dressed and Put on my necklace, "Alright, i'm ready." i said as i left the house with her, "Where to?" i asked, "Well there's this Restaurant that i really like to go to." she said, "Alright, sounds good." i smiled, we left for the restaurant, Later on that night, we sat down at a table, "What'll you be getting?" she asked her, "I don't know.." i said as i looked at the menu, a few minutes later, we ordered our food and then talked for a bit, "So Emily, How's everything going?" i asked, "It's going pretty good, now that I get to spend more time with you, Key." she said smiling, "That's great.." i said blushing, "How about you, Key?" she asked, "Oh, I'm loving all of it, especially when I get to hang out with you." i said, "Thanks for going out of your way to get me Midnight.. I would have died out there by myself if you weren't there with me." i said, "Your welcome Key, When i got back to the guild, you weren't anywhere to be found, so i asked around." she said, We finished our date later on and Went back to the guild, "So how was your first date, you two lovebirds?" Militha said teasingly, "It went well." i smiled, "Wait, you seriously went on a date?' Militha said surprised, "Yeah, you thought i was joking when i told you?" Emily said, "Honestly, yes, yes i did." . Just then a loud crash could be heard, screaming could be heard from outside shortly after,
The sky turned dark, and everyone seemed to stop whatever they were doing. Almost as if time itself became frozen..
