Star storm

Ophelia stands at her stained glass windows, looking out at the tangled forest of Eden. "Ophelia?" Cyrus says, walking in. "Flynn wasn't in the branches, nor does a place known as the Branches exist, so where really is Flynn?" Cyrus questions. "Cyrus... if you ask me anything else, I will find him and... you won't like what I'll do... now LEAVE!" Ophelia tells Cyrus, not even turning her back to look at him. Light forming in the corner of her eye, "Do you ever intend to pass on to the realm of spirits?" Light asks, "When will you stop rewinding time in an attempt to save your precious Gifts?" Ophelia says, turning to face Light, "Just give up... You'll never beat me. I've existed in this realm for hundreds of years," Ophelia says, leaning down to face Light, whose eyes go empty."I will never stop until you're gone, and after all, you'll never activate the heart," Light says with a smile,e six of her wings forming on her back as she flys into the air. "and just know, Ophelia eventually you will fail my gifts will prevail," Light says before forming into her proper form before vanishing into a burst of light "Oh Light ... you have no idea what I'm doing," Ophelia says with a smirk

Fae sits in her room, only to hear a knock at the door. "Come in," Fae says. Blake and Atticus enter the room. "Fae, you've been in this room all day. You and Robin vanished yesterday, and you've been here since,e," Atticus said, sitting next to Fae on her bed. "R.obin isn't saying anything either,r," Blake says, leaning on the wall. "Yeah, talk more about Robin, why don't ya?" Fae whispers to herself. Atticus stares at her. "Fae, what happened yesterday?"

Atticus asks, his voice is soft and gentle. "... a thing that Robin says is god threatened to make me cease to exist," Fae says, hugging a pillow. "Does Ophelia know?" Atticus asks grabbing Fae's hand holding it in a comforting manner "I told her and she only said 'I know I felt her' so yeah she knows I swear I love that woman but god she is hard to like" Fae says looking away a slight blush on her face "wait... you like Ophelia?" Blake says in pure surprise. "wait, you didn't know she doesn't hide it at all," Atticus says with a slight grin, Fae hitting him on the head. "ouch," Atticus says, rubbing his head. "so what, should we do then if Ophelia the literal queen isn't gonna do anything" Blake says walking over to the two on the Fae's bed sitting down on it "she isn't gonna do anything is she?" Atticus asks, looking Fae in the eyes. "Then we have to take things into our own hands... we'll tell Cyrus and Robin to meet us in your office tonight at dusk," Fae says, looking at Atticus. "I'll tell Robin," Blake says, walking out, "and I'll tell Cyrus," Atticus says, leaving with Blake.

The day passes by, and dusk quickly approaches. Atticus sits alone in his office, looking over several different records. "Why can't I find it ... I'm sure she left records," He says to himself. A knock on the door breaks his train of thought. Cyrus enters the room. "Atticus... you invited me here... alone?" Cyrus says, leaning close to Atticus with a slight smirk on his face. "No... the others will be here soon," Atticus says, his face red. Fae, Blake, and Robin all enter together. "...did we interrupt something?" Robin says with a cheeky smile, "NO!" Atticus says, pushing Cyrus away, his face completely red. "Okay, so now that everyone is here, why did we all show up?" Cyrus asks, sitting on Atticus's desk. "Well ... actually, why are we here?" Robin says "Well, yesterday me and Robin saw a creature known as light," Fae explains, "and Ophelia knows but isn't doing anything." she continues starring at the group, "So it's up to us to figure out what to do," Fae says "she called me her gift maybe that's got something to do with it" Robin adds "Ophelia has mentioned things known as the gifts to me," Cyrus says "so what's the plan figure out what the gifts are?" Blake asks "easy enough I have access to the royal archives" Cyrus says standing up and walking towards the door "is that it we just look at the archives?" Atticus asks. "seems so," Fae confirms. "now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed," Fae says, hugging Atticus before leaving Blake and Robin following after

Cyrus walks through the palace, finding Ophelia. "Ma'am," Cyrus says, addressing Ophelia. "What is it, Cyrus? Do you have information for me?" Ophelia asks, clearly tired "Actually, I do."
