New prophecies

Chapter 9

"So where are we headed now?" Grace asked.

"I don't know, where is the subway going?" Luke asked, looking at Clementine.

"Apparently we are going to a place called Eternyx." Clementine said, searching for Gray, but having no luck.

As the subway headed to Eternyx, Gray's legs were going numb. That was until NightSwan forced him to stand up and watch. The girl untied him with her magic and he walked towards NightSwan and the girl. "

Since we don't have all the crystals, we will have to just wait." She said waving to the girl to bring in an object. This object was the last crystal. Gray watched as she hid it in her coat pocket.

"Sara! I thought those objects would bring them here!" She said, yelling at Sara while pointing to the objects on the pedestal.

"I know master, I'm trying. I don't know where they are. When they arrive, I will get them for you and steal their crystals." Sara replied, determination shining in her eyes.

The group got off the subway and immediately got chills. It was colder than Melosia realms or Sun Horizon. They walked out the exit and saw a darker atmosphere than what they had anticipated. The towns were black and pink, with there being no sunlight. In the middle of the cities stood a giant tower with a statue of a lady in the middle. They figured that's where Gray was and the last crystal. They quickly ran towards the castle, getting weird stares from the townspeople. When they arrived, they hid in some bushes and tried to figure out a plan by themselves.

"So what do we do? Gray isn't here to help us so now what?" Clementine asked.

"I don't know! We can't just ask her for the crystal! She's an evil dictator, for fucks sake!" Luke exclaimed.

"Well then, what do you suggest we do?" Grace asked. Luke suddenly had an idea.

"We could always sneak in." Luke said, a smile on his face.

"Weren't you opposed to that idea not even a day ago?" Clementine asked and Luke ignored her.

"Well that's our only option. If you don't like it, go knock on the door and tell me how that goes for you." Luke said sarcastically. Clementine rolled her eyes and sat up, slowly walking towards the side of the tower. Grace and Luke followed her as she stared at the wall.

"What are we supposed to do now? We don't have a way up there." Grace said.

"Distraction. Grace is good at talking. Luke can just walk in and take the crystal and I will break Gray out." Clementine explained.

"What about that girl? She will probably see me." Grace and Luke said in unison, staring at each other after.

"Well then, don't get caught." Clementine smiled and shoved Grace towards the front. Luke and Clementine hid behind the bush while Grace nervously waited at the door. Sara opened the door and looked at Grace, instantly recognizing her from earlier. She invited her in and then closed the door. Luke missed his chance to get in, since the door closed too quickly.

"Well, you have just led Grace to her doom." Luke said, Clementine punching his shoulder. Clementine looked up and saw a ladder not that far away.

"If we get that ladder over here, we can get up to that window and try to open it." Clementine said. Luke sighed and the two quietly ran over towards the ladder and pushed it to the tower. Once they got it close enough, Clementine climbed up while Luke held the ladder so she wouldn't fall. When she opened the window, it was unlocked so she was able to open it.

"Hurry Luke! We don't have much time!" Clementine whisper-shouted.

"I'm trying!" Luke exclaimed.

When they got to the window, they held onto a ledge and saw Grace, tied up with magical ropes next to Gray, who was also tied up.
