Chapter Sixteen: Mystic War

"I... have a serious headache," Conner groaned.

The fainted members of the team all started groaning as they got up. When Superboy got up, he caught a big whiff of lavender and rosemary. He rubbed his eyes and saw the two herbs being held under his nose, almost steaming or smoking.

"Morning, sunshine," Krinos joked, being the one holding the herbs.

Even in his half-awake half-asleep state, he could still see that Melinda and Skylar were still there. They were standing next to Phantom.

Lena landed softly next to the lord of nature. She noticed the eight confused heroes on the ground. She looked confusingly at the four other heroes in the room.

''What up with them,'' she asked.

''They couldn't handle the news of Danny being the future king of the Ghost Zone and me being the future siren king,'' White informed.

''Oh,'' Lena says. ''Want me to help them get some pep back in their step? Flowers are quite excellent at making tea.''

''Actually, I think that Krinos has got this,'' White said.

''I had the weirdest dream,'' Gar says, still a little groggy. ''That Danny and White were royalty to their own kinds.''

''Not a dream,'' Danny smirked. ''I'm ghost royalty and my brother's the siren prince. Just don't faint again.''

''I think once is enough,'' Conner says, pushing Krinos' hand away.

"Nature always has been the best place to find smelling salts," Krinos said, waving his hand and making the herbs vanish.

"Are you all okay," Melinda asked.

"They'll be fine," Dick stated. "Didn't really expect them to faint, though. You don't see that every day."

"You can say the same with floating islands unless you live here," White snickered. "Though, Earth does have Tir Na Nog floating around Ireland... Scotland... wherever it is."

"Fairies and their floating castle," Melinda shook her head. "They're cute, but can be so frustrating."

"Hey, I like the fairies," Danny playfully glared at her.

"Mostly because you got to vanquish a number of trolls when they kidnapped a literal fairy princess a few years ago," White reminded.

"Can you blame him," Skylar says. "The only creatures more annoying than trolls are leprechauns."

"Leprechauns,'' Lena complained. ''They're only liked by their kind. Everyone else thinks that they're annoying. We just don't tell them in fear of being cursed with bad luck.''

''It can't be that bad,'' M'gann tried to see the good in the creatures.

''The last time it happened, a meteor literally fell out of the sky and crushed him,'' White told her, using his hands to create the picture.

''Noted,'' Gar said.

The siren prince then started leading them around his isle. The island really was quite beautiful when you got a better look close up. From a ways away, you can see the cloud color, mountains, the music notes, part of the stage, and parts of the forest. But up close, it's like a whole new world.

Each time one of them touched a globe, they'd be pulled into the scene inside. From performances of Phantom of the Opera and Wicked all the way to modern musicals by Disney and Pixar. There was also a very beautiful effect whenever Siren or Lena was near a plant. A bright gold or emerald green flower would bloom. It was like the island was showing how much it liked them.
