After Suisei's song, the glasses shattered altogether and three different colored lights shaped in circles started floating above them on air.

Both Lily and Suisei's eyes followed its movement, the three colored orbs of purple, blue, and pink started swirling in a circular motion until it collided and merged. It created two huge golden gates that was tied by large silver chaims, Lily stepped up and gathered energy on her palms before releasing it on the locked gates.

The whole place became bright all of a sudden as the gate bursts; and then it all suddenly disappeared. When the two opened their eyes, they were back at the Helden Lake.

"Is...Is it successful?" Lily questioned the equally confused Suisei.

"I have no idea as well."

Lily glanced at the creatures waiting for them, "...do you think they have any idea what transpired inside the Helden Lake and about the Garden of Alonios?"

Suisei sighed and was about to take a step when the ground started to violently shake; alerting the creatures and the two princesses still in the middle of the water.

"What's happening?!" Suisei shouted and questioned the creatures nearby that could hear them.

Three of them ran to the rescue of the princesses, wasting no time to carry them and sprinted away from the lake. Lily and Suisei watched the beautiful Helden Lake get crushed by spikes of crystals and cement before disappearing from sight.

Watching how everything crumbled inside the Helden Lake, both the princesses couldn't help but to feel immense guilt and sadness. This was these creatures' home, and now it suddenly got destroyed and it was probably their fault.

As all of them got out of the cave, they all watched it crumble into nothing but ashes. Their beautiful home is nothing now. Lily turned to look at the creatures who lived peacefully here - what Lily saw was enough to blame herself of their misery.

She turned to them and stood straight, although her heart swirled in guilt her eyes shown sincerity.

"We apologize for destroying your home..." It was a curt apology; however, it was straight from her heart.

The leader of the pact went up to Lily and Suisei, they were both ready for their retaliation - after all, the two of them was the reason they don't have their home anymore.

Contrary to what they had assumed, the leader went to his knees.

"We. Offer. Loyalty."

All of the creatures kneeled as well. It baffled the two princesses, they could not believe that these creatures are willing to submit to someone who destroyed their home.

"B-But we are the reason your home are wrecked. How could we possibly,"

"They chose to bend for your will and authority, Lily and Suisei - because you freed them from this place." Mizuki's familiar voice catched their attention and turned towards the source. And there she was, the Queen leisurely walking towards them with a graceful smile on her face.
