Recently On Behold, The One:
Working together with Celestine and Electra, Alexander manged to defeat the Crystal Armadillo that Gaia accidently unleashed. The trio find out how Electra's whip is regeneratable and they found the Celestial Baton, the item they chose to represent the visit to the Celestial Kingdom. They also found out that the Sky Tribe had a secret enterance to the Celestial Mountains. They had to camp there for the night.

Chapter 9's Ending:
She sneaked a glance at Alexander, secretly smiling as she did so. Wait a minute... why am I even doing this?
---------------------------------------------------------

   Oh crap. This is the crapiest thing of all craps. Wait, does that even make any sense? Ughhhh...!

   "Uhm... Celestine? Are you okay?" Oceana asked in concern.

   Shocked by the sudden question, Celestine jumped and whipped her head backwards to face Oceana.

   "Huh, wha? Oh! Yes, I'm fine..." She replied bluntly as she stared at a transparent solid.

   It looked like the crystal sky, except that it was translucent and in a shape of a globe. Inside it looked like the Sky Tribe in ruins, which worried Celestine. Out of a sudden, it shattered into pieces, making Celestine jump in fright.

   "HOLY MAMA!" She exclaimed as one of the sharp pieces darted her arm, forming a deep gash on it.

   Almost immdiately, Electra rushed to Celestine. She gasped in shock and starting panicing as Celestine winced in pain. Usually, a girl like Oceana would scream but Celestine obviously did not. She literally plucked the shard out of her arm and covered the wound.

   "Electra, it's happening. AGAIN!" Celestine hissed as she formed a stardust bandange around her wound.

   Celestime summoned her wings and sword as she put the shards back together. It formed the same globe as before. This time though, it showed a lady's face.

   "Celestine, Electra, we need help. Although we already know the Alpha was killed, another enemy is after us. And it is not just anyone. Report back immediately!" The woman screamed in panic as the signal broke.

   Crystalite.

   "Uhm, was that Crystalite?" Gaia asked, in a daze.

   Celestine gave him a firm nod as she flapped her wings, flying with maximum speed back to the tribe. In her hurry, she forgot about the shortcut!

   Insistant on helping, Electra led the others using the shortcut back to the tribe. Gaia was both worried and thrilled by the experience of being in the dark but this was plain fight on Oceana's part. Unable to find her way, Electra got angered by her lack of sight. It was way too dark in there.

   Just then, Alexander formed a fire sphere which provided just enough light for the four to make their way to the Sky Tribe. After hunching their backs and endlessly walking for about ten minutes, they finally wound the secret door.

   They pushed it open, revealing the gruesome scene of the tribe. Actually, the tribe they visited earlier was perfectly fine. As in, the part they have seen before. Their main is within the fountain but there is another part which stays above in the sky. The enterance to the elevator which took them up alone was already in bad shape. Imagine how bad the actual tribe looked like.

   Shivering at the thought that something happened to Celestine, Alexander chased the others into the elevator as they made their way up to that part of the tribe.

   Once they reached the top, they saw Celestine and another dark figure engaging in a sword fight combat. Each time their swords crossed, it made a sharp sound. While Celestine's eyes glowed white, the enemy's glowed red. They lunged at each other, continuing their combat.

   Celestine spread her angel wings, giving her extra strength and balance. Let's see how the enemy tops that! Alexander thought gleefully. What he did not understand was the pain and fear in Celestine's eyes. What was wrong? Why did she look that way?

   The enemy spread its wings as well. What type of wings it was is what shocked Alexander. It was black-feathered wings. Not an angel like Celestine. It seemed more of an evil angel. She thrusted Celestine's attack, showing her no mercy as she kicked her to the ground.

   The figure towered Celestine, smirking as she laughed evilly. Although Celestine could have killed her at the moment, she did not. Instead, her eyes were filled with tears. She was pained.

   "How could you do this? We used to be family!" Celestine screached, tearing up.

   "How? Simple. You did not join me, instead, you betrayed me!" The enemy hissed with a hint of disgust.

   "But you gave birth to me. You should have shown me respect for my choice instead of destorying it!" Celestine screamed, stabbing her sword through the figure.

   The figure yelped in pain as it shot a glare as Celestine.

   "Would my own child stab me like this? NO! You were my biggest mistake ever! Why did I even create you when you would become one of my enemies?" She spat.

   "Because you wanted to be a mother who could be proud of me. But how do you be proud of me when you keep destorying all of my achievements!" Celestine screamed into the figures face, trapping the figure in a cage.

   There were multiple spikes, poking the figure's skin. It was very painful and uncomfortable indeed.

   "Let me go!" The figure demanded.

   Celestine scoffed as she walked up to the figure.

   "How do you expect me to respect you when you don't even respect the choices I make. I did this to show you that being a fallen angel is never the way to go. You still chose it over me anyway!" She hissed, tightening the cage.

   Celestine's fists clenched, she clammed her eyes shut as tears trickled down her cheeks. She shook with anger and rage, along with it came a tint of disappointment.

   "Celestine... I'm so sorry. I had no clue what it meant to you." The figure apologised, eyes softening.

   Her eyes turned slowly back to a shade of pink, signalling that her feelings of anger, hatred and revenge were melting away.

   "I was trying to avenge your father because Robert killed him... I found out that his son came over here, therefore I wanted revenge." She continued, eyes glowing baby pink.

   Celestine's eyes continued to glow white, a shade of comforting white.

   Wait a minute... King Robert, Alexander's father, killed... my father? This is a huge mistake, my father never died. He almost died until King Robert saved him.

   The king saved his life...
