Chapter 32
The moon Rose and the time had come, everybody was in a deep sleep. I woke up with a start to see the Golden tablet lying in the middle of the water, the moon was right above it and glowing radiant colours "Wake up! It's happening!"
Echo and Maya had came back and shot up nearly hitting their heads on the rock. Nixie, Addison and Melody awoke too "WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO!" I screamed out.
"TOUCH YOUR SELECTED PIECE! MELODY TOUCH YOURS!" Addison screamed, she did so swimming in a fast motion to her piece, she touched it and her selected piece turned green. She let her hand go, and the waves pushed up against me and then Addison raced up to the tablet and touched hers.
"ECHO YOU CAN DO THIS!" I shouted at her, tears ran down her cheek she was afraid. I watched her swim towards the tablet, it shifted towards her and then she reached up and touched it, Maya then swam up to it nearly being hit up against. The waves that rushed over her, she touched her the wind pelted up against her pushing her the side but managed to touch it.
"I can do this" I told myself, Nixie swam ferociously up to the piece and punched it so hard her knuckles started to bleed. Melody swam trying to edge away from the rocks and swimming under Neath without being pelted with the ice cold water she touched hers and swam towards Maya. It had became my turn.
"COME ON LYLA THE MOON IS ABOUT TO PASS!" Nixie screamed at me.
I did as I was told, going under the water in order to avoid any rocks or sharp water pelting at me. My hand was out ready and when I was just beneath the tablet, I jumped out of the water with grace and put all of my hand on the tablet. I fell back and the tablet started glowing and glowing, it became so bright that I could hardly see.
When the light died down I smiled, until my world went black.
*****
The world wasn't black for long, when I opened my eyes my world was white and 6 figures were standing before me. I thought it was my friends but there was 6 not 5, once my eyes fully adjusted I saw the figures all clear each dressed in a families colour.
"Lyla Marina Silverfate" The women said.
I looked up, my legs spread out I was dressed in blue and gold something was around my arm. I looked to see it was like a ribbon adjusted to fit my arm, "Where am I?" I asked the women.
"You are in Quintainence, the land of the gilded. Hidden deep in the world we call Earth, you will find us in time but for now you must return back to your friends" the one dressed in blue said.
"What are your names?"
"I am Aquaria" The one in blue said "I am your ancestor Aquaria Marina Silverfate, and Ophallia is Echo's. Onyx is Nixies, Diana is Melody's, Castor is Maya's and Polaya is Addison's. We were the six gilded queens and you will be the next" Aquaria said to me.
I looked down at myself I was in a blue and gold dress with a sash that fell over my shoulder. I felt on my head to feel a small crown that touched my forehead "When will I see you again?" I asked.
"When the moon is full and the water is calm. For the queens will call upon you once more, time will pass and so will you. But here is the place where we will wait you" They chanted, I looked around I the words chanted in my head.
