"She's waking up!!" an excited voice said. I couldn't help but smile as soon as I heard it. I've been awake for a while but I couldn't find the strength to open my eyes.

"Mike" I whispered

I didn't know how he was here but he was so...

"Hey" he smiled. I looked around and everyone but Alexander and the others were here.

"They are taking Miranda back to Krystel" he said noticing my questioning gaze.

"But they can't get there. There's no way back" I said as a matter of factly.

"No Sky. They can go back everyone can. As soon as you two found the crowns a portal opened and whoever goes through it ends up in the place they belong."

"Vampires return to their kingdoms. So do werewolves. And corpses are released into the after life. The quest is over Sky. We can fight Daniel"

"I..." I didn'teven know what to say. Jack gave me a hug. "But we didn't find any crowns..... I-I'm confused"

"Turns out you did" Brady said from behind Mike. I smiled at him and he returned it. Then he turned his gaze to the two people standing behind him.

It was a woman and a man. The woman was flawless. She had tan skin. Red scary yet alluring eyes. Her hair was a natural scarlet colour with orange highlights. She wore and Ruby red necklace around her neck.

Her dress was made of pure red fire yet she didn't show any signs of discomfort. This woman was beautiful and judging by her confident stance she knew it too.

The man next to her had white shoulder length hair. His eyes were icy blue and on his wrist was a watch made of pure ice. He wore a white dress shirt with white matching trousers that despite being in this dirty place still looked brand new.

I don't know why but as soon as I looked at him I called him...

"Dad...." Quickly bringing my hands to my mouth my cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

"I-I...sorry..haha I have no idea why I sai-"

"Arista" he cut me off. Pulling me into a hug. A feeling of deja-vu passed by and before anyone could do anything I passed out. AGAIN!!!

"Mommy!! I'm scared!!" Little me screamed as the door to the castle burst open.

"Hey its okay baby we'll be okay" Khione cooed in my ear. But I could see the worry in her eyes as she looked at the little girl in her arms. Me.

All I could do was watch as Miranda came in with an army of soldiers demanding that they surrender.

"Khione we have to go" My Dad whispered. "No!Don't leave me" Little me screamed.

"We have to go sweetheart. This woman won't hurt you okay. But she's very bad don't listen to her okay" Little me sobbed as her dad talked to her.

"Don't go."

"We will meet again" My dad whispered.

I watched as my dad emitted light from his body and it grew bigger everytime until he disappeared.

But before my mom could go Miranda grabbed her and took her away.

She came to me and smiled. "I will find a way to wield your powers Arista. Or should I say Julia" She laughed evilly. While her two minions also known as the two people who raised me on Earth took me away.

"I can't believe it" I whispered. I woke up a while ago. My memories had come back. I guess I dont really feel different. I still feel like me just with more knowledge of who I am.

"I'm sorry Arista I didn't mean to leave you but it was the only way I knew we would see each other again."

"I transported myself to a witch and when I saw your mom didn't follow I knew she was taken. The witch told me that I would see you again but only on a mission."

"It was and is your destiny to save Krystel it's always been"

"The crowns aren't really crowns but power. Power you could never imagine. The witch gave me that power and told me I had to save it for the day you came."

"So...you guys are the crowns?" Brady asked. They nodded.

"We have to go. I've been sensing that Khione is hurting for a while now something could happen to her." My dad Poseidon.

Yeah I know he was named after the god of the sea. I mean I know water and ice are like connected but c'mon.

I'm gonna have to have a talk with my granny.

Jacks pov

Walking into the portal should have been the most relaxing thing ever. But no we were immediately taken to Trifus and because the portal was so nice it teleported us right in the middle of Daniel's soldiers.

That's why we are currently tied up while Miranda takes out all her anger on Khione with her whip.

She managed to escape the others which wasn't good since we don't know what state she's left them in.

I was next to the fire woman who doesn't talk to anyone but Skyler's dad. We found out her name was Scarlet and she's been in that place for a long time. She chose to be the crown of Riftus because of something that happened in her past.

We were tied up in ropes made of ice but they were still flexible!! I'm getting tired of supernatural stuff. Our powers were useless against them.

And Skyler and her dad were tied up in pure fire ropes but unlike ours that were just uncomfortable these ones were painful and sore.

Skyler flinched every time the fire got in contact with her skin. Mike and Brady were tied up with normal ropes. Lucky...

This is gonna be a long day
