(Wayra's POV)
     I follow Leinad and Daniel through the portal. Wow. We were really going to rescue Lavender. I wonder what she is like? She must be a wonderful person since Daniel seemed to really love her.

"Daniel? What are you gonna do if we really traveled here by dream? About Lavender? Eventually we would wake up, no?" I ask Daniel.

It's not that I thought this was was all just a dream, it was clearly real. But but we all wake up from a dream eventually, and we all fall asleep into a dream as well. Everything works in cycles. I am sure that when we get back, either everything will reset, or no time will have passed. And even though this might be a dream, I feel everything normally!

     "I don't know," he replied, "I have thought that I have just traveled here by a dream, but even then I should be able to have returned home easy. There's something else that's keeping me here."

Just then, he grabs his chest and starts screaming as if in pain. The mark on his shoulder began to glow purple.

"NO!" He screamed "Leave...Her...Alone!"

"Her?" Leinad asked, "So he is connected to Lavander. Why didn't you say anything?"

"He didn't want me to tell anyone." I replied.

"That is the most dumbest idea ever." Leinad replied.

We both turn to Daniel, he's still screaming and shouting.

"If he keeps this up," Leinad replied, "The whole Underworld will be able to hear us!"

"We can't just leave him," I said.

"As long as he still has that mark on him," Leinad replied, "Atlas Durza will keep torturing both him and Lavander! We bring him with us, he'll be killed along with Lavander!"

"Drake," Daniel said, "Don't you dare leave me here!"

"We might not have a choice," Leinad said.

"So what you say goes?" Daniel said, "Traitor! Do you even care what I think?!"

Something was wrong with Daniel, he seemed more angry. Maybe whatever Atlas Durza was doing to Lavander was making him delusional. Leinad smacks him over the head, and Daniel falls to the ground unconscious. I look back at him.

"What?" he said, "He's going to thank me once he's awake. Come on, let's keep going."

     I hesitate. Should I really leave him here?

"What if I cast a silence spell on him?" I ask Leinad.

"No time." Leinad says. "How would we carry him around? I can't just knock him out every time he wakes."

I look at him again. "No."

"Cristalina, we don't have time for this, we need to go!"

Not listening to Leinad, I walk over to unconscious Daniel lying on the floor, and without a word, try 2 spells that I had learned a while back. The first one was a muting spell. As I cast it, sparkles descend into his throat. The second spell I cast is how we are going to transport him. He shrinks until he is small enough to fit on my hand. I then make sand with my earth bending and make a sort of cage for him. I pick up still unconscious Daniel and drop him in.

"He is shrunk and mute. This ok?" I ask Leinad. "I'm not leaving him here. The spell won't wear off until I undo it."

     Albedo looks at the result, beddazzled.

"I don't know any magic that could do that." He says.

     "Really?" I smile. "Well there must be something about it, how else did I use it?"

     "How can you travel worlds in your sleep?" Albedo asks.

     "Me? Oh, I'm a Dream Traveler, I think Daniel might be one to." I say to Albedo.

     "I think, because of your connection to different worlds, you can use different magics."

     "Of course!" I say. "That's obvious! But I thought I learned these spells from Hogwarts or something."

I turn back to Leinad.

"What do you think about keeping Daniel like this?"

"For now at least," he replied, "Come on, let's start walking."

(Daniels POV)

     I woke up with a groan, where am I? My vision was blurry, I couldn't see anything.

"About time." A voice said.

I blinked several times and my vision returned, only to see Atlas Durza right in front of me.

"Where am I?" I asked, "What have you done to me?!"

"I just brought you here to make a deal," he replied.

I look around, Atlas Durza had me chained up. I wasn't in a spirit form so I can't be dreaming all this, which means he could hurt me. My mark was also gone as well.

"I found soul linking the two of you very boring," Atlas Durza said, "So here's a new deal, if you let me use you as a host I will let her go free."

"No deal." I replied.

"You might want to reconsider," he said. He turn to show Lavander, still chained up and hurt. He launched a magic blast at her, hitting her in the chest.

"NO," I screamed, "Let her go!"

"So is it a deal?" he asked.

I stuttered for a sec, I didn't want to give up, but I didn't want her to suffer more.

"Yes," I replied, "We have a deal."

"Daniel, no!" Shouted Lavander.

"Silence!" Durza said. He then placed his hand on my chest. He then turned ghost like, meaning I'd have seconds before he'd take control. The one thing I did before he took over was use what telepathy I had left to send a message to my friends.

"I'm sorry..." Was all I managed before everything went black.
