The hallways of the castle are dimly lit up. With no windows on either side of the walls it's hard to know weather it's day or night. Although it reeks of danger and dismay to me, it's nothing but home to Elucia. She finds this to be the most comfortable way a home could be. It's all she had known since birth and it's all she will ever know.

Elucia opens a door just near the large spiral staircase going downstairs. I stand there trying to get a peek of any available exits.

"Sister, come inside?" I turn around and walk inside to a small bedroom. To my amazement the room is completely opposite of what I had imagined. Walls of red and blue decorated with paintings, a neatly made bed next to a quaint window to the outside world. "I drew these myself. Do you like them?" She timidly asks.

I glance over to them once again, inspecting the details on each one. She seems to specialize in landscape drawings. The one of this very castle catches my eye. The castle itself is dark and unpleasant looking while the gardens and fountains beautify the area around. "They are beautiful, I must say the one of the castle looks truly special."

She blushes and thanks me. "The castle looks gloomy because you and mother aren't here. But now that you are here I feel that home is now more full of life, it feels like a new beginning sister. I don't think I'll be this happy ever again."

I walk over to the window and look around. The gardens are huge and full of life, just as the picture describes. "What did you need to speak about sister?" Sitting down on the bed she asks me. I turn around and rest my self on the ledge of the window. A few light rays that go through my wings illuminate the floor with its beautiful violet colours.

She notices them and scoffs. I guess she doesn't like the colours. "I wanted to know.. if you have ever loved someone?" She looks at me with confusion. "It is a strange question I must admit." She shrugs and replies. "Other than father, not really. I never had anyone to love and father never approved of anyone who had shown interest in me. So I just thought that if father didn't like anyone then I should not as well. Why do you ask?"

"No I was just curious about my sister, that is all. Now that I'm here we have so much to discuss later on." She smiles flopping herself on the bed as she stretches her wings. They are quite magnificent but they are also quite evil. "Father says you will be introduced to the kingdom tomorrow. The reactor will work its magic and turn you into one of us. Then you will be crowned queen so you can lead the soldiers to take over the light realm. Your power will sustain us all and get rid of this curse."

"How exactly will this reactor turn me in to an angel? Would that make me lose my fairy powers?"

She nods, "No it will combine both your powers but father will make sure the angel magic overthrows your fairy magic, thus giving you angel wings."
