Daughter of Charm, Son of Adventure (Sequel to Daughter of Life, Son of Death)

Spooked

Olivia snuck out through the night to the red door. She had to do this, for Axel. He was still asleep, but he looked like he was having good dreams. Olivia had stroked his hair before she came. Now she had to face failure yet again. But this time she wouldn't lose. She never would again. Olivia opened the door and bravely stepped in. She had the same test as last time. The slimes and everything. But even when it seemed hopeless, she wouldn't give up. At one point she figured it out and began to redstone. Then she helped everyone in the barge and they all escaped.

"Hey, has anyone seen Olivia?" Jess asked in the morning. "Guys, I'm here!" Olivia came in her radiant Child outfit, the ruby ankle dress, her dark wavy hair flowing down her back and the pink flower headband. "Wow! You conquered your fear! Congrats!" Petra clapped. Olivia then went over to the bed they had put Axel in. She held out her hands and they glowed red. "Wake up." she whispered and the glow disappeared. Then she gently put her lips to Axel's, and he stirred. His eyes opened and gazed upon the girl before him. Then he smiled and kissed her again. "Well, that went well." Jesse commented.

Now it was time to say goodbye to Leo. "Don't worry master Aiden. When you need me, I will come." he said, holding out a stardust paw. Aiden shook it, and just then Pegasus came flying in. "There's not much time left! We need to hurry! Ender is coming and she's not playing nice!" he urged. "Er... how do we go about this?" Jess asked. Aiden climbed on Pegasus' back. "You guys can shapeshift, remember?" he reminded. They each turned into their respective animal, and Reuben became a creme stallion so he could gallop along, and they all made their way after waving at Leo. Lukas kept sneezing so he decided to ride Reuben instead. "Is there any way I can become anything but an ocelot?" he called over the wind. "I'll look into it!" Aiden called back in between whoops and cheers. He was flying on a stardust pegasus through a realm of eternal night. Who wouldn't be happy? But Maya on the other hand had a lot on her mind. She had heard what Aiden, Lukas and Leo said about her. She couldn't hurt herself, could she? It was just a little magic, and she was the Daughter of Charm for crying out loud! She was powerful, she was magic, she was able! She could probably do anything she wanted if she put her mind to it! Leo was just a big worrier. She would be fine!

Gil woke up in a dark chamber. The last thing he remembered was being in a cave with the other Balze Rods. Then he recalled the turquoise axe. "Weird... where am I? Becky? Aiden? Maya?" he called anxiously. The chamber was giving him the creeps. Then he saw something... no, someone! "Come out!" Gil called, sounding braver than he felt. Suddenly the stranger tossed an unconscious Becky onto the ground. "What the...?! Sis, are you alright?!" Gil asked. Then he turned to the stranger. "Where are Aiden and Maya?! If you did something to them, you will pay!" he growled. "They escaped my clutches, for now. But as soon as I track them and the Order, I will take their powers and have my revenge on those who made me like this!" they hissed. Huge black dragon wings sprouted from their back like a cape. This was too creepy. "What are you talking about? Aiden and Maya don't have any powers!" Gil retorted, and the person shoved him against a wall. She had the face and body of a young adult woman, her hair was ink black and her eyes glowed purple like an Enderman. "They do! Oh, more power than you could imagine! Power over all the stars, all the galaxies... and all power over the sorcery and spells in the universe!" this lady was clearly insane. "Well, you won't find them! The Order will make sure you don't!" Gil struggled against her grip, but she was strong. "Oh, we'll see about that!" the lady, Ender, hissed.

"So, Maya, I need to show you something later!" Aiden smiled at her. "Sure! That's good!" she replied. They had all slowed down and were now just trotting along the dimension, trying to find the portal back. "Jeez, how far is it?" Axel groaned in fox form. "I don't know, but apparently you hope it's soon!" Olivia laughed as a hummingbird. Maya had turned back into a person and was walking alongside them all. But she needed to set something straight. "Wow, remember when we met, Lukas?" she reminded, nudging her friend who was riding on Reuben. "Er... yes?" Lukas replied, a little spooked that that was what he was talking about with Aiden and Leo. And also why did Leo ask that in the first place? Maya started to get annoyed. "You don't want to talk about it? Do you think I'll be too scared?" she said irritably. "What? Of course not!" Lukas said, taken aback. "Oh yeah? Because from what I heard, you thought I'd be too afraid or I'll damage myself if I try to fight!" Maya was shouting now. "Wait, what did you hear? Maya, me, Leo and Lukas were just concerned about you!" Aiden defended his friend. "Oh, so you think I can't handle myself either?" Maya spat. "Guys, just stop this!" Reuben began, but then he saw something and reared, knocking Lukas off him. "Reuben! What's wrong?!" Jess cried. "Th-th-that!" Reuben pointed a hoof at a figure in the distance. It came closer, and closer to the bickering Blaze Rods and Order of the Stone. Aiden's eyes widened when he saw the person. Long brown hair, moss green eyes, navy shirt with gold buttons, and the iconic black leather jacket, a symbol of being a member of the Ocelots/Blaze Rods.

"Ava?!" Aiden gasped.
"Hi, bro!" his twin smiled.
