This is it guys, this chapter begins the finale of the Series, and even though it's sort of a dark part of the story, I've tried to work in some comedy (Please let me know how I did)
Also, I've begun hashing out the details of my Spin off featuring the favorite couple in this story (Varian and Artemis...Artarian if you will, I suppose.) it will be darker and less light hearted than this story was as i'll be sort of basing it around Tangled the movie, only rather than Gothel and Rapunzel, it will be Hector and Artemis, and instead of the Tower it will start in the Great Tree.
just a fair warning to readers interested it will have a ton of dark themes and triggers with what I have planned, so if you choose to read it, exercise caution.
"This is the story of three very powerful friends, okay, so they don't really look like friends at the moment, it's uh...it's complicated. You see, her whole life, Cassandra has felt second best. Going back to when her own mother, Gothel, chose Rapunzel over her and as a result, Cass has developed a, uh...a grudge. That little thing there, that's the moonstone and it's the cosmic counterpart to , ah-ha, you guessed it, the Sun Drop.
The two belong together, According to Thalassa. Who is Thalassa you ask? Well that's where things get even more complicated, Thalassa, is an ancient being who's been inhabiting the body of my sister for 15 years, is the keeper of these two stones, her job is to make sure that the stones are only used for the greater good. Now that Cass has the Moonstone however, she's out to take down Rapunzel, Corona and anyone who ever underestimated her.
Not only does Cass have a brain washed brotherhood on her side, she's also pals with this goat headed monster. No, no, not that one, this one, Zhan Tiri. An ancient, evil demon. Only now, old Zhan Tiri looks like this...
Zhan Tiri manipulated this fight between Cass and Rapunzel to gain the power of the both the Sun Drop and Moonstone, it's enough to make even the most resilient hero give up, but it's a good thing it's the two best people in my life we're talking about."
"So, you're the keeper of the sun drop and the Moonstone? And you've been inhabiting my girlfriend for 15 years?"
"That is correct, young Varian. The Sun Drop and the Moonstone never should have fallen to Earth in the first place, but things...got out of hand, and I had no choice but to send them here, to earth. Much like your world, my own was ravaged by wars, only, we did not fight wars for the sake of proving who was strongest, our wars were for sport, good natured fun. That is how it was for millennia."
"So what happened?" Varian was leaned against the far wall of the underground tunnel system,
"There comes a time when fighting becomes senseless and even the most noble of warriors finds himself...I believe you would use the term 'Backed into a corner.' Gunari was as brave as they came, he was ferocious yet found kinship with his opponent, even in the midst of battle. He was much like Rapunzel, but everyone has a small shred of darkness in them. For Gunari, it eventually became to much to bare and he snuck into the temple."
"He snuck in?" Thalassa silenced the young boy with a patient smile, "Yes, he snuck into the Temple. You're a bright young man, I'm sure you know from your studies that ancient civilizations worshiped the sun and moon."
"Like the Mayan's...or the Aztecs?"
"That is correct. Gunari managed to get past the series of traps and challenges in place to protect the stones, until he made it to me. A rule to anyone who wished to possess the stones is they must defeat the guardian. Gunari and I fought for days with no end in sight, but he waited, his plan was to wait until I was exhausted to sneak past me and steal the stones."
