Chapter 5

The gaurds looked suprised by her request. "My queen why do you want to train your the queen not a solider, we can't have you get hurt." "I know I'm not a solider but this is my fight and as the queen I deamnd you to teach us how to fight." "As you wish your majisty we will train you three in the morning." Autumn noded and said goodbye. As they left Autumn asked "What is your relam like I've heard stories but never been there. They explained what their dimension was like.

The next day

A guard comes walking in "Come on everyone time to train. They all grunted but got up. When they got to the training room they were surprised to see all the weapons they had. "Oh I want that one." Amber points to a katana embedded into a stone." The guards laughed "You can't use that none of us can even use it. It has a magic inscription on it only the one who pulls it out can use it but the catch is the sword picks who uses it.

Amber walks up to the stone and places her hands on the cold handle and carefully pulls the sword out of the stone. Everyone was really amazed they didn't know what to say. "Well looks like Amber found her weapon now lets see if we can get you two a weapon. Crystal picks a black sword that has a white line going through the middle of the blade. Autumn picks two small twin daggers. They each practiced with their weapons.

After a few hours they mastered their weapons "I think you guys are ready for the battle. We will leave at 6:00pm tomorrow it will take us two days to get there." For the next few hours Autumn, Amber, and Crystal practiced their weapons.

Amber's POV

I was practicing with Crystal when I lost all my movement. I don't even remember what happened. We were practicing and then I heard her yell at me to stop, but when I tried my body wouldn't listen to me. What is happening. I'm now running to a different castle but this one felt different darker.

That's when I saw her. Ashley was standing at the gate looking at me. I tried to turn around but couldn't. Ashley smirked and yelled freeze, I froze in place. "Hello, Amber welcome to my castle I know you must have a ton of questions, the most being why don't you have control or why does your body do what I tell it to."

I looked at her my eyes and mind filled with fear. Ashley's words sounded as though she had no empathy. Which she probably didn't "Well the answer is simple I put you under my control. need proof I'll show you kneel down and call me your queen." And just as she said that my body did exactly what she said to do.

I can't believe this I'm being controlled, I'm just gald it's me and not Crystal." For a brief moment I hear my sister call out to me but i fell something else. I got my movement back. I quickly pulled out my sword and lunged for Ashley. I didn't even get 4 feet in front of me when a lighting strike pierced through my body.

I fell instantly to the ground my eyes turning black from the pain. Ashley looked at me but, was no longer smiling she looked furious. "You're more stronger than I anticipated, I don't know how you broke the spell, but next time you do I will make it hurt 100 times worse or maybe I should just torture your sister and not you while I make you watch. "No don't she's not strong enough to handle this Please, I won't break the spell again just don't hurt Crystal." Ashley laughed at my weak state "I will hold you to that, now be a good girl because I will always win."

I tried to get up but I guess Ashley didn't want me too because she shocked me and this time as promised it was way worse, I collapsed on the floor. The last I remembered before letting darkness take over was Ashley laughing at me. "I'm sorry Crystal I couldn't help you."

Crystal's POV

I can't believe this is happening. I'm confused why is she attacking me. I can't find the words, I look at Amber but only see darkness. "Amber you're going to hurt me please stop." It was no use she wasn't listing. I am terrified that this is how it's going to end, when I'm right on the verge of being defeated by my own sister, she stops and puts her sword in its holster and runs out the door.

I tried to stop her but with most of my energy gone from defending myself, all I had was the energy to fall and cry. I yelled her name but it was no use she was gone. I scream in pain but it's not my pain it's Ambers. Something must have happened. My eyes change back from black to grey.

Autumn sits next to me on the floor as I let my tears flow. She wrapped me in a hug until I could calm myself back down. She looked at me with her silver eyes "I'm sorry Crystal I should have helped more." I look at her with my still puffy eyes "What is going on, what happened to Amber please tell me." She looked guilty but I had to know.

"She is under a spell, her mind and actions are under the power of Ashley." I can't believe this I was at a lost for words, but when I looked into her eyes I saw nothing. "There must be a way to save her I mean I felt her pain which means she's resisting please tell me there is a chance." "There might be a way to release her because she is resisting. The only issue is that you have to cut her.

The pain could bring her back to her senses but I have no Idea how to stop the pain to go to you." "If it will save her I will take the pain please anything for my sister I need her." I have to do the unthinkable and cause myself pain in the process. But if it saves Amber I'm willing to do anything. I will get you back Amber no matter what I promise.

3rd POV

Crystal and Autumn spent the rest of the day practicing her weapon. Later that day Autumn had said "Crystal if we can't break the spell I have a plane but we need you to do magic." "Then why Can't we do that spell I mean the less pain I get the better." Autumn sighed "Because the spell takes two people to say and you and Amber are the two strongest wizards we have seen." Crystal was shocked to hear that.

"I don't know how to use magic or even if I have any" "You do, you're the chosen one, it's easy take a deep breath and feel the magic flow through your body." After Crystal learned to use magic a guard came into the room to watch them practice. After a few minutes of watching them practice he spoke "I have never seen anyone as powerful as her, she's a strong fighter. I warn you both be careful." They both agreed they would and went back to practicing.

Each time Crystal got better and better everytime. When they finished Autumn looked pleased "I think you're ready, but when the time comes you can't back down that's what Ashley wants. No matter how the battle plays out you have to keep fighting." "I promise anything to save my sister."

The next day they headed to the battlefield. Before they left Crystal made sure to have the spell on a piece of paper.
