Recently On Behold, The One:

Chapter 8's Ending:
"Yikes, what happened?" Celestine asked as she emerged with Oceana from the cave.
---------------------------------------------------------

   Celestine paused for one moment, surprised to see Electra's whip back in her hands.

   "As fast as usual." She muttered, smiling slyly as she teased Electra.

   Almost instantly, Electra pounced onto Celestine. She gave her a warm hug, making Celestine blush bright pink.

   "I'm so glad you're alright! Do you know you gave me the fright of my life just now? Next time you had better give me a war-" Electra's lecture was cut off.

   "Oh come on Electra! Lighten up!" Gaia teased, cutting off Electra's lecture to Celestine.

   "Don't forget you almost landed in the same state as her! Do you know how worried mom and dad would be of they figure out? Do you know hoe worried I will feel?!" Electra continued, giving Gaia the lecture instead.

   Alexander and Oceana inched to Celestine who whispered somehing into their ear.

   "When Electra gives him lectures, she will take ages to finish." She ended with a mini chuckle and covered her mouth so as to not show it.

   Gaia groaned in annoyance as Electra went on and on with her lectures. Celestine found it hilarious but Oceana figured that Gaia was in a difficult predicament. She stepped in to help him by asking Electra some questions of her own.

   "Electra, how did you get this whip? Didn't Alexander destroy it while he turned mentally unstable?" She asked, making Celestine and Gaia burst into a fit of giggles.

   Alexander looked annoyed, as usual, and exclaimed in protest.

   "I was not mentally unstable! I was physically over-heated!" He spat with a pout on his face.

   "Awww, little boy can't admit it." Celestine teased, making Gaia laugh even harder.

   Oceana fixed her eyes on Electra, waiting for an answer as Gaia continuing giggling. A fustrated frown appeared on Alexander's face as she crossed his arms and sat on the nearby rock.

   "Okay, see, my whip was obtained from this very cave here. If it gets destoryed, this is where it would regenerate. Usually, we have a shortcut here. This is our food hunting grounds." Electra explained as she carried Alexander off the evenly flattened rock and lifted it.

   Beneath it was a flight of stairs as it led into a dark abyss. The only source of light in there was a fire torch.

   "That is the shortcut. How we come to and fro from the Tribe and here." She continued, explaining the ways of the shortcuts used by the Sky Tribe.

   The other three nodded in understanding until Alexander raised his hand eagerly, as if he was a ten-year old student.

   "Yes Alexander?" Celestine questioned, raising her right eyebrow.

   "Does that mean I can find something to give father in the cave?" He asked, glimpse of hope in his eyes.

   Celestine took a glance at the cave before turning back to Alexander.

   "If you are talking about the Star Crystal Cave other there, sure." She replied bluntly, turning to Electra.

   Getting her hint, Electra led the four into the cave. The walls were night sky blue, just like her whip. It was understood why it would reform here of all places.
