   It did seem to say her name, over and over in a whisper. It seemed to hypnotize her into a trance, something she couldn't get out of. As she walked forward, she was unsure what to do.
Her jaw hung slightly open as the Crystal seemed to sing off an eerie tone. Standing and staring at the Large, glowing crystal in the center for a short amount of time, she reached out her claw, inches from touching it.
Snapping out of the trance, she flung herself around and raised her barbed tail to hear a clattering sound of chains from the room. "Who's there?" She seemed to yell at nothing. Still, the series sound continued. She swung around again to hear the chains again. The constant ringing of the chains made her head ache, turning into a painful migraine.
She covered her ears with her claws, closing her eyes tightly as she tried to block out the irritating noise. She spun around towards the sound over and over, soon stopping as her head spun. She opened her eyes dizzily, yelling again. "Stop!"
And whatever it was, did indeed, stop. Once Cactus looked up at the ceiling, two, bright glowing red eyes stood out like daylight. Silver chains dangled from the ceiling.
"W-who are you?" Cactus repeated, trembling. But nothing spoke back. They eyes disappeared and the chains traveled down he wall and disappeared also.
The Crystal called out to her and blasted a glowing light at her. Cactus took a deep breath, closing her eyes with a grim face. Her claw reached out again, and slowly, her claw pressed against the Crystal.
The hissing sound for louder and louder until it made her ears bleed a bit. The Crystal screamed with light and then with a quick motion, the small light was in Cactus's claws. She opened her eyes to see an orb of A fire Crystal in her hands.
Terrified but also amazed, she stayed there holding it between her claws cupped around the fire orb. It then exploded and collapsed all over her, sucking into her eyes and her mouth along with under her claws. She fell back with a blow, hitting the room/cave wall.
Wincing, she rubbed the back of her head with a groan, her wings falling limp. She then painfully got up again, shaking her scales. She looked around and spotting the glowing eyes again.
It spoke raspy, quietly but deep so she could here. "You feel different now, don't you?" It said. Cactus looked at her claws, do, feeling a bit different. She nodded. "Yeah?"
"Now, in your head to obtain this power, you have to say something. In your mind, any time you want to use your power, say 'invisibilia.' If you want to stop using it, say in your mind 'normalem.' But there's only one price for this, and it comes as a . . . Gift. This gift only lasts for a little while, as it ends after 2 months. Please, accept this offer. You should be grateful." The voice said in the still, scratchy, raspy voice.
Only responding with a slow nod, the red eyes disappeared as well as the chains. Cactus stood around, gaining back her stamina, before more curious then ever for her power.
Standing directly still, breathing in and out again, she thought carefully. invisibilia, Cactus said in her mind. Closing her eyes, she felt as if tiny spiders were prickling and crawling up her legs. It felt weird, but weirdly relaxing.
Opening her eyes after the feeling vanished, she looked around. She then looked down at her claws. But they weren't there.
Confused and startled, she squealed jumped back. She tried to cover herself with her wings, but she looked and they were there either.
She looked all around at herself and then realized,

I have the power of Invisibility.
