Ashes to Ashes

S3: Embers Divine pt1

   Lydia was unsure on the exact way of her to do this, bring her friend back. The turmoil she feels never leaving as she thinks over all the outcomes. "I open the portal I go in, Bloom comes out." Standing up suddenly with a realization I walk quickly to Stella's room. "Stella I need your ring." I say with quick breaths looking at her. She sits up disposing of the tears on her face with her fingertips looking at me with anguish. "We just lost our friend and you want to use my ring ? For what purpose ?" She asks and I smile. "Now I know it's outlandish, impossible really, maybe, just maybe I know we can use that ring to get into the Dark Dimension." I say and she rolls her eyes. "The ring is incapable of doing so, the Dark Dimension has no true origin, the ring cannot place it." Stella says fully standing now while I grin. "I know how, my uncle was placed there, my mother has seen it as she was the one to place him there, we just go to my kingdom, snatch her memory of it to be placed into mine and voila we get into the Dark Dimension." I say while she ponders over it in stunted silence. "Well it's worth a try." Is all Stella replies while I nod. "Let's go then." I reply while Stella smiles. "Hope. It's something we truly need, but what if the others ?"

"The others will know later we just have to see if it will work."

"You want to what ?"

"Take your memory of you being there. Place into my mind then use the ring to access the Dark Dimension." I tell my mother who sits back in her seat in the thrown room before looking to my father. "It sounds promising, are you sure the ring is capable ?"

"The ring it holds no limits, it's what it's created for, to go to any dimension as long as you can see it, envision it." Stella replies while I smile at her before looking up to my parents. "Without hope we have nothing. So please just let us try. If it doesn't work then we accept the fate, for now." I tell them while the nod and my mother nods before rising walking down the golden steps to me. Taking my hands in mine I feel our minds come unto one before I feel the memory pass to me. My head begins to pound while my mother releases my hands stepping back with a small smile. "The pain will subside shortly. You go get your friend back, but only one goes." She replies while I open my eyes and nod. "Stella you stay, if I don't return in three days time let the others know." I tell her turning to her while she nods before looking to my mother. "Yes, you may stay here. You're always welcome and we changed the sheets in your room, clean clothes are there. Lunch is at high noon, you may eat with us." My father says while Stella smiles before looking back at me. "Be careful and bring her home." Stella tells me softly while I nod. "Oh darling one more thing." My mother says causing me to walk past Stella to stand in front of my mother. "You're magic will be weakened there over time. So here." She places a necklace in my hand that glows when I put it on. "You we're trained in all forms of combat. Whatever you may need in a moment will present itself to you when it demands it." With one last smile I open the portal and with one last look at my friend and parents I smile before slowly walking through.
