CHAPTER 23: LUCINDA

After calming down I call the team together to discuss the activities for the day.

"Okay guys myself, June and Miles are heading to the enchanted library to check out a few things the rest of you should practice the tympavanian way of using a sword". I explained to the team.

"Why are we learning the tympavanian way?". Zack asked confused.

"They are more effective than us when it comes to the  sword". I replied and he nodded.

"Alright let's go". I said turning to leave.

We used one of their coaches to get there. It was an underground library.
"What information are we looking for?". June asked looking at the thousands of books.

"Blood moon, moon stone". I said

"Here's this about the blood moon, on this day all magic will be deceased except evil magic. Monsters aren't affected by it because of the moon stone. The moon stone is a very powerful stone apart from what it does for monsters, werewolves need it to survive, it amplifies ones magic. It could be very deadly when overused". June read out loud

"Moon stones are rare stones that can only be found on the top of Ushambai mountain. They're very heavy". Miles read

"And they only last for non monsters for an hour". I concluded

"Wow that's so unfair". June commented.

"Yeah, what's that?". I was interrupted by the loud noise coming from upstairs.

We raced upstairs and saw a huge monster terrorizing the monsters.

"It's magic hour". I said as we ran to an alley to transform.

"Hey ugly over here!". June shouted getting his attention.

"Bet you can't catch me!". June said leading  the monster to the forest. Miles and I followed close behind.

"Okay guys let's destroy this monster". Miles said

"No it's forbidden to kill mystic creatures". I warned him

The monster was calm it just sat and looked at Miles not sure why. There was this locket on her neck, I opened it. I saw Nico, Miles and there parents it was weird but it got more weirder when I saw Lucinda's picture there Miles' long lost sister. What if?

"Guys I think you need to see this". I told two of them and they rushed to check it out.

"How?". Miles asked so shocked and confused.

"I have a hunch that this monster could be Lucinda". I said and his face went cold.

"Maybe Mia would know how to fix this". June said and I agreed so we took her back to the castle.

"I'm not sure whether a spell could fix this and even if it could I can't perform it". I suddenly remembered where we are, the only place in Hystorica where witches are despised.

Izzy walked near the monster.
"Izzy get out of there". I said walking towards her.

"I think I know what to do". Izzy replied and I stopped let me give her a chance.

"I Izzy release you from your curse forever!". She yelled the monster suddenly floated in the air, shining a bright purple. After the light stopped a girl with brown hair and blue irises stood there. She's slightly taller than Miles but shorter than Nico.

"Hawk?". Lucinda asked I think she's still fazed.

"Lucinda!". Miles shouted and ran to hug her.

"It's been forever". She said hugging him tighter.

"You'll explain later now you need some rest". Miles said

"Ashante good to see you again".
Lucinda smiled as we hugged.

"Yeah you need rest explanation later". I said smiling as well.

"Thanks love for setting me free". Lucinda said to Izzy giving her a hug.

"Yeah just wish I knew how I did it". Izzy said with a small smile.

"You're a curse lifter, it's a position in the mystic realm". Lucinda explained

"Oh". Izzy said with so much glee, she once told me that it was a dream of hers to be a guardian in the realm.

"Malivy". Lucinda said with so much happiness. They were very close.

"Lucinda I missed you". Ivy said smiling. They ran and hugged each other.

Lucinda went to take a nap because she's probably stressed out.
"Izzy come with me". I told her

We went outside to the place were they practice the sword.
"Let me teach you how to use a sword". I told her tossing her one sword.

"Watch me". I said showing her all I know about the sword, she was grabbing it pretty well.

"On guard". She said, I smirked at that. She was good actually she nearly tripped me but I did an awesome flip instead.
I won when she got distracted.

"Rule 1 don't get distracted". I advised her.

"When are we leaving for home?". Izzy asked

"As soon as we get the moonstone, I'll ask Sapphire". I replied as we went inside to meet the team.

"Let's go and ask for the moonstone". I said to them

We entered the throne room were Sapphire and Caine sat on the thrones attending to royal business I assume.
"Hey guys what's up?". Caine asked looking at us.

"We need the moonstone". I replied trying to be polite with my demands.

"About that before you and your team can actually use it you need permission from the eldest vampire king Lord Maacah Bat Talmai". Sapphire said which infuriated me.

"Why did you wait till now to say that?". I asked trying to keep my cool.

"We didn't know until when we prayed to him yesterday he told us this". Caine replied

"Can't we just pray for permission from him?". June asked.

"No you can't". Sapphire replied

"Doesn't the moonstone have to do with werewolves? Why is his permission needed? Shouldn't we ask the moon goddess instead?". I asked because it just didn't make sense

"That's true but since the union between werewolves and vampires both the vampire god and the moon goddess have the same power over the moonstone. Tympavania serve two gods but the reason why we told you to meet the vampire god is because he's easier to reach and fastest. It'll take ages before the moon goddess hears your prayers". Caine explained.

"Okay, how do we meet him?". I asked determined.

"You must travel to the Underworld". Caine said

"Alright guys guess we're heading to the underworld". I said to my team.

"All of us can't go at the same time, only one mortal can be in the underworld per time and this mortal must be guided by an immortal at all times". Zack said.

"Which one of you is coming?". Zack asked.

"Me I've never been to the underworld". I said happily

"Okay". Zack was now surrounded by black smoke until they blew off, he was now in his underworld form.

"Brace yourself it's gonna be a horrifying trip". Zack smirked as he covered both of us with his cloak.
