Chapter Fifteen: The Mystic Isles

Phantom exited the portal that took them to the home of his brother and his kind. He slightly laughed as the team stumbled out. Except for Wolf, as four feet tend to come in handy.

"Thank you, Frostbite," Danny called through the portal.

"Anytime, Great One," the yeti called back, then the portal closing.

"Does he always call you the Great One," Conner asked, getting himself out of the teen hero pile.

"No matter how many times I ask, or tell, him to stop," Danny answered. "I love the guy, but he can be a little eccentric from time to time. Or all the time. I'm starting to think that I need to find more sane companions."

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he's a yeti," Conner told him. "Never would have thought that they could become ghosts too."

"The legend of the Abominable Snowman had to start somewhere," Danny said. "Not sure which yeti it was, but I don't really care. Besides, not like all ghosts look the way they did when they were alive."

''What do you mean,'' Karen asked.

''Quite a lot of ghosts change forms when they get here,'' Danny explained. ''Skulker is mostly an exoskeleton with a small green... thing inside. Pandora is fifteen feet tall with four arms and flaming purple hair. Spectra is basically a living shadow. You really think there's anyone alive like that running around.''

The rest of the team started to get up. Just like Lena's portals, the one Phantom and Frostbite built to go from the Ghost Zone to the Mystic Isles trips up first time users. It didn't normally work very well with those that could fly.

"Wow," the team gasped.

The isles were beautiful. All around them, they could see floating islands. All of them were unique in their own ways. Some of them featured water, others fire, quite a bit had plenty of nature, and one seemed to be almost entirely made of crystals. There were even a few that looked like they were somehow in nighttime. They also differed in sizes, some being way larger than others. The larger ones were a little lower than the others. Some isles were connected by silver bridges, while others were not. The sky was a brilliant blue and the clouds seemed like a blend of white, lavender, and baby pink.

"It's incredible," M'gann says in awe.

"That's the Mystic Isles, for you," Danny said. "My brother always has preferred this place to the Ghost Zone. But that was always more my domain."

''Even Dr.Fate would be amazed at the magic in this place,'' Kaldur said.

As an Atlantean, he was born with magic in his blood and all around him. It was natural for him to feel all the magic in the isles. And he was almost overwhelmed by the sheer power of the magic.

''No offense to the lord of order, but he's got nothing on the isles,'' Danny chuckled. ''Not to mention my brother.''

''Back already, Casper,'' a female voice said.

They turned to see two more figures. A girl riding a pegasus.

The girl was definitely a night person. She had black hair and was dressed in a knee-length black dress covered in silver sparkled, like stars. She had two belts, one pearl and one sapphire. Around her neck was a milky way infinity scarf and an amethyst cape. She had black flats. A staff of oak, and a moonstone tip, was in her hand.

The pegasus she was riding was very regal and noble. He, probably a he, had lavender fur with a mane and tail of maroon. His hooves had golden horseshoes. His wings were brilliant maroon and lavender colored feathers.
