C.R.A.F.T- The stars unite

Chapter 8- The hidden dimensions

In candracar, I sensed a disturbance within one of the older guardians. It's new. Ever since I was left in charge, I feel whenever the guardians, former or new, are in distress. And Will's feelings were coming in loud and clear. So I had her to come alone and tell the council of candracar the problem.

"It's what the girls told us," Will started to explain. "They said that Giselle's goons took her mother's necklace. It was a key to the hidden dimensions." I almost lost my balance when Will mentioned the hidden dimensions. "I take it it's not a good thing." Will said. I shook my head. "The hidden dimensions are a terrible thing."

     "What are they?" Will asked.

     I cleared my throat before I answered. I was hoping one day that I wouldn't have to speak on this.  When I was a guardian, I was told that the hidden dimensions were well guarded. And we wouldn't have to worry about it. But Giselle is crafty. And if  her mother holds the key to the dimensions, I have to give out as much information as I can to help figure out how to stop her.

     "The hidden dimensions are prisons for the darkest and the most dangerous of enemies." I explained. "One dimension in particular is prison for negative and dark energy." "If either dimension is opened it would be the end of every world as we know it."

     "Then we should find out which dimension Giselle wants to open," Will said. "But how? How many hidden dimensions are there?"

     "Only 5. The most dangerous one is the one with all the negative energy. Giselle might go for that one." I said. "What does that dimension do?" Will asked. "That dimension is the very source of power to fuel evil." I replied. "It also can turn anyone evil. And it can also create illusions to drive good people mad."

     "I better go and tell the girls." Will said. "Yes I do believe that's best. And tell them that their mini soul mission is to get that necklace back." I said. "But we don't know where Giselle is." Will points out. "Leave that to me." I said. Will nods and returns to Earth.

     "We must go to the pool of seeking." I told the council. "But we need something of Giselle's so we can find her." Mira said. I smiled at my altermere and lifted a piece of hair. "When we fought back at the castle. I manage to get a small piece of hair from one of the animals that we fought." Mira smiled back and council went to the pool of seeking.

On our way down the great hall of candracar, I stopped mid way and took a glance in one room where the former oracle slept. I told the rest of them to go on ahead. I needed to speak to the oracle even though he couldn't speak back.

"Dear oracle, I'm afraid it is worse than I feared." I said to the sleeping man. He lay peacefully still. His bedroom fit for a king, was covered in white and gold. The lights dim due to the fact that the magic around it is helping him heal.  With his hands at each side and his breath keeping a steady rhythm, it feels as though he was listening. So I continued on. "Giselle has the key to the hidden dimensions. And if she unleashes even one, it would mean disaster for the entire world. The new guardians are stronger than any generation that was ever created." "But I fear for their safety. I fear for the whole world. So if you're still in there somewhere, keep watch over us. And help us to defeat Giselle."

I hope my words have reached him. Halinor isn't here anymore for comfort. And being left in charge is no fun for an old lady who just wants some peace and quiet. But the younger me inside just don't want to just sit around and grow older. I want the last thing I do in my life is that I did something exciting.

     Oh well. Can't win them all. I just have to make due before my time comes to an end. Hopefully that will go off with a bang too.

     "Now I leave you in the hands of all the great spirits that came before us. Let them help you find your way back to us oracle." And with that I left the room and joined the others in the massive room of dreaming color of white and silver with a pool of mist.
