~~~Drake's POV~~~
We couldn't find Uki. At all. After we caught our senses back, and helped each other leave the sight, we made a search for Uki. And now, standing here, we were witnessing a miracle. The three of us-Esther, Tan, and me. But that definition of miracle was valid for humans only. We knew that 'miracle' in Dravengos.
A transparent globe, which was shaking violently, slowly turned itself into a mixture of red and blue, in a wavy pattern, and it separated into two completely red and blue hemispheres, which then burst into two red and blue coloured human figures.
And then they transformed into Raven and an unknown girl. That girl had the circle of Stophalise in her hands, and the pendant of Myrone was in Raven's hand.
Did these guys know what they were handling?
"Raven?"
"Drake."
"Merope?" Tany asked.
"Tany."
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Let us explain....um....what happened was...I was actually studying that book Amy had given us to look after, once. And I found that the book, when entered the password which was spell of transporting, opened to reveal it was actually not a book, but a case that hid these."
"And Merope, she came in at the same moment, so we just kept one hand each behind, and tried the combination."
Raven and Merope...hmm..
"And we were brought here."
"Do you people know what you were using?"
"Yes. It's the easiest way of transporting to a desired place and making sure a place gets destroyed, when you leave it, through this." answered Raven.
"Do you know about it's side effects?" I found myself clenching my teeth.
Raven frowned.
"That circle cannot be used unless at least one complete Dravengo and one complete human hold it together. And once you use it, one of the dreamstens or dravengos around turns a complete human. And I'm sure it's me. I can feel it. Congratulations! You just took away all my Dravengo powers!"
~~~Merope's POV~~~
I knew I had feelings for Raven. I knew he had feelings for me as well. But I had never thought them to be so strong, and now I was facing a situation where I had to choose for both of us. I had to choose between safety and risk.
We had to decide if we would accompany these people to face The One's daughter, or stay behind. But whatever she had done with all my friends, especially Av, was unforgivable. And I would make her pay for it.
"We are with you guys. We'd accompany you."
These words left my mouth, and all kinds of possibilities revolved their way in my mind.
Me and Raven held one of each other's hands, and put the other to hold the circle. Drake and Tany joined next, and Esther as well.
"We would have to keep this pendant and this circle completely safe, that too, with us. Because we are going five this time. And once five go throungh this, only two can go at a time, till. the next seven days. And it gets left behind unless the last possible combination leaves." Drake stated, sounding a little worried, a bit more determined, and a little unsure as well.
We experienced the same thing around again, and I felt Raven's hand trying to steady me under my tightening grasp. Light moved through us rapidly, 'we felt as if we were somewhere near heaven', huh? No. It was the scariest feeling ever. And I was getting it again. I felt a bit of nausea.
