(Ash)

I looked at Thalia and saw that she was slowly fading away. I glanced down at myself but I could no longer see my body. A dome was created out of all the elemental circles I had made earlier.

Suddenly, there was a bang and they imploded on us, forming a worm hole that we were sucked into. Everything was black for a second until we emerged near Lightning's domain. We were flying about 20 feet above the ground. I could see the shimmering of the force field surrounding his domain.

Suddenly, a hole formed in the force field. We passed through it and entered the castle yard. There were guards patrolling the perimeter of the force field. One of them looked up and stared right at us. I could have sworn that he could see us. An uneasy feeling took over my body. We floated towards the castle and I saw Lightning standing on his balcony, looking at us as we passed. I knew then that something was wrong. We floated through the wall and into the castle. I saw lightning walking towards his throne room. He entered and left the door open for us. We floated into the room and landed in the center.

Lightning walked towards us with a grin on his face. I tried to move away from him but I was paralyzed. I couldn't see where Thalia was but I could feel her presence.

"I see Ash has arrived." Said Lightning

"Your grandmother was telling the truth when she said she would send you to me." He added

I tried to answer but all that came out was a grunt.

"See, I paid your grandma a little visit last week and asked her if she knew where you were. She said that she could do even better than that. She showed me a little potion she made and said that she could give it to you and it would paralyze you, turn invisible and bring you straight to me by adding just a little bit of my blood in it. So I left and came here to patiently wait for your arrival and tonight she has delivered you to me just like she had promised." He said

There were five guards around the room guarding all the possible exits in case the potions were to fail. One of them moved forward and whispered something in Lightning's ear.

"Alright take them to the dungeon." Lightning said

One guard stepped forward and picked me up on his shoulder while another one picked up something beside me that was invisible which I presume was Thalia. They walked out of the throne room with us on their shoulders and started down multiple hallways. A few minutes later, the guards opened a door and my guard threw me in. My back hit the wall and knocked the wind out of me. Then, something heavy landed on me hard. I looked but I couldn't see anything. After a few minutes I started seeing the outline of the human body. A woman's body. I waited a little longer and Thalia appeared laying on me. When she could move again she got up and held a hand out to me to help me to my feet. That's when I realized that I was visible again and that I could move. I grabbed her hand and got up.

I looked around the small square brick room. There was no window but there was a light on the ceiling. There was a bunk bed and a second small room with a toilet in it but no sink and no door. I looked at the door and saw a full metal door. I slammed my shoulder into the door multiple times but could not get it open. We were stuck again.
