The Elements

Chapter Twenty Five

Casper was now arriving back at the DH, where Blair was just painting her nails a fierce, bright, red.
"See? I didn't miss anything." She said with pleasure.
"Well, actually you did. We ran into the children we were trying to stay away from. But I still had a pleasure just teasing them." James said.
"How great, now what are we going to do?" Blair asked, admiring her nails.
"Well, we've already questioned the girl, but she won't tell us her name. If she reveals her name, we could try to find her relatives." James said slyly.
Casper thought of an idea.
"We should tell her that her friends are dead." Casper suggested.
"She will never believe that, Casper." James responded. "But let's go to her cell."
Casper and Blair followed James to where the girl was being kept.

Casper saw her and she looked scared, but she was trying to look brave.
"What is your name?" James asked the girl briskly.
"I won't tell you!" The girl cried and narrowed her eyes.
Casper almost felt bad for the girl, but he pushed those thoughts away, and focused on getting information out of her.
"Do you know where the Moonstone is? Where the Silver Ruins might be?" James snapped.
The girl groaned. " I thought I already told you. I don't know where the Silver Ruins are."
"What Element do you posses?" Casper sneered.
"You're not going to get anything out of me, just saying." The girl replied, glowering at Casper.
"What if we make..... A deal?" James smirked.
"I have a bad feeling about this," The girl's voice turned unstable.
"How about you give out any information that you know, and I'll set you free." James snarled.
"I'm not going to be any part of this. I'm supposed to be helping my friends, not locked up! So let me go!" The girl's voice had taken a turn for the worse, which meant something.
"Shut up." James said deathly calm.
Blair pulled James and Casper aside.
"Maybe I can talk some sense into her. You don't know what we girls think about being captured out of the blue." Blair said. "And from all the video games you play Casper, you might know why."
"What are video games?" James asked, suddenly interested.
Casper smacked his forehead. As his sister stationed herself in first of the girl's cell, Casper started to explain what a video game was.
Blair walked over a few minutes later." I only got one thing out of her. Her name's Selene."
James looked unusually calm." Well, if we can't get anything out of her, she must not know anything. But we're still keeping her as a hostage. Just so her friends will be upset."
"What do we do now?" Casper demanded, a surge of anger overtaking him.
"We're going to go to the 11th Room. It's a place where the Guardians can talk to us. But we're looking for the most dangerous one." James explained.
"Who?" Casper and Blair asked at the same time.
" Lilith, the Guardian of Death." James said.

The two sibling were lead to the 11th Room by James, and soon approached a gleaming silver door with a high tech unlocking device next to the ancient door.
James unlocked it, and gestured for Casper and Blair to follow him.
They had seen Lilith before, but it was only in their dreams, so how was she not alive?
"How are we going to talk to her?" Blair asked.
"Well, there's something Guardians can communicate with. It's called the Crystal Ball." James explained as they approached a ball the size of a baseball, it was resting in a pillow, and the room was fancy as ever.
"Whoa," Blair breathed.
Caper knew his sister was a sucker for fancy, expensive, beautiful things.
"So, that is the Crystal Ball?" Casper asked.
"Indeed, and neither of you are allowed to touch it." James said, walking towards the Crystal Ball.
Casper watched in silence, wondering what was going to happen.
"I summon Lilith, The Guardian of Death to speak with me." James's voice boomed across the room, echoing rhythmically.
Soon enough, a flash of black light flashed before Casper's eyes, and then he heard a voice.
"You asked to speak with me, James?" Lilith's voice sneered.
Casper wanted to talk, but Blair put her hand over his mouth before he could say anything. He swatted her hand away, and gave her a what did you do that for look.
Blair replied with I did that because I'm not sure if we're supposed to talk, idiot.
"Did you give the sword to the Earth girl?" Lilith asked.
"Indeed, and I captured their friend Selene too. I bet they're looking for her right now." James said.
"So did Flora and Selene meet Coral in their dreams?" Lilith asked, waiting for an answer.
"Yes, but why is this important compared to getting the Moonstone and reaching to the Ultimate Power?" James asked in a smug tone.
"Because if you forgot one important detail, it's that the Corrupt Dragon is going to wake for, it's slumber and kill whoever has the Moonstone. But there is a way we can control it." Lilith said.
And what would that be? Casper thought with a confused look on his face that matched Blair's.
"The Earth Obtainer."
