Glimmer POV

I open my eyes and see water... water... I'M UNDER WATER! I look around and I start to sink. I feel someone pull on my arm. I look up and see Riff, who now has gills. He waves his arm and I can breathe. He waves his arm to signal to follow him. We swim down to an underwater castle. There are guards at the front doors, they nod at him and open the doors. We swim in and Riff stops swimming and stands on the floor. I do the same. When the guards close the door behind us, the water filters out of the room. I take in a deep breath of fresh air.

"That was weird" I say.

"Yeah, why are we back here?" He asks. He then looks at my arm. "You're bleeding!" He says and touches the cut. I quickly pull my arm away in reflex.

"Sorry." I say.

"I can get a nurse." He says. I nod and follow him when someone calls his name.

"Riff, who is that, and where have you been?" A man asks. I think it is his father.

"Father, this is Glimmer. Let me explain what's going on." Riff then explains everything. To his father.

"How was she wounded?" His father asks.

"When Stella first attacked Jane threw a few spears at us, and one grazed my arm. Then when I was forced to fight Jane the wound reopened." I explain.

"Ah, Sargent Dai, please get a nurse and meet us in my office" The king says. "Follow me." He starts walking towards his office. "I am King Davao, I apologize for initially mistaking you for a thief."

"It's ok, I am Glimmer." I introduce myself.

"Glimmer, what name is that from?" He asks.

"I don't know, it is the name I was given. I was an orphan when I was found on earth, I am not from here originally." I say.

"What do you mean?" He asks as he opens the door to his office. I sit down in a chair across from his desk.

"Well, I was left on the steps of someone's steps, and then I have lived in foster care ever sense. But when I came here, I can feel that I am an element. I have crystallizer powers too, but I do not know my parents." I tell him. Riff looks at his father and He looks back at Riff.

"Interesting." He says. "Were you given the name Glimmer by someone from earth?"

"No, when I was found there was a note, all it said was 'her name is Glimmer', I have kept that note with me. But I do not have it with me now." I tell him.

"Well I hope you can find your parent after this." King Davao says to me. "Now, what are you two going to do about your other friends?"

I look over at Riff, I have no idea what to do. He thinks for a while.

"Is there a way to get back to the strikers?" He asks.

"I can get you to Element Central tomorrow morning, there you can catch a ride to the strikers. But that is very dangerous Riff. How do you know they will be there?"

"I have a feeling." Riff says. "Also, Hannah told me that's where her and Flamara are headed."

"Well, let's have some food and then you two can plan tomorrow morning." The king says. A nurse comes in and stitches my arm. Another nurse cleans a cut on Riff's forehead.

The next morning King Davao takes us to Element central. We see Hannah and Flamara sneak onto a striker vehicle. We run and sneak in after them.

"Who's there?" I hear Flamara ask.

"Riff and Glimmer." Riff whispers. "Do you know where Khaleesi and Jack are?"

"I think they are back at the striker palace. Stella probably separated us to distract us so she can figure something out." Hannah whispers.

"Have you been able to contact Jack?" I ask.

"No, I've tried multiple times. We just have to hope for the best." Hannah says. The ride is silent for a couple of hours.

"Do you guys hear something?" Flamara asks.

"Yeah, I can hear wind." Riff says. I can hear it to.

"That's not wind, that's the sound of a portal!" Hannah says. We stand up, looking for the portal. But it's too late, I can tell we are being taken somewhere else.
