"We stick to the plan. Hopefully we don't have any more timewinds where we have to give in to Shadow in order to keep the timeline intact."
"Did you really have to sacrifice your sister though? I mean, we could've just given him our one physical stone."
"We couldn't. NightMaster said to give it to a Pure, and he is no pure. Now we only have a small amount of time left before Shadow and Adelheid surface. At that time, we need to get you, Summer, into your ultimate form so that we can meet them when the battle starts. We know where he is, but he doesn't know where we are, and I'd like to keep it that way."
"Who do we fight for? If we fight with Shadow, then we'll keep the timeline intact because if we don't then nothing you and Star did in the future may never happen. But if we fight with NightMaster then the world could change so much that everyone you love might not exist."
"How is destroying one world gonna change what will happen on another?"
"The Bible that your uncle carried was created on Dreamworld!!!"
"Don't say that."
"After Shadow and Night merged, Night made the healing cars to help people as best he could because all of Shadows' men were prisoners and others he stole from other planets. Then one night, NightMaster did the same thing Shadow had done to him. He sneaked into Shadows private chambers and there is where he found Shadows special Bible that was used to bring me to life. He tried grabbing as many as he could, but Shadow came in at just that moment. Caught and nowhere to turn, NightMaster did the next logical thing. He ran and ran all over Dreamworld with Shadow and his wolves chasing him. Knowing he would be caught eventually, he threw as many copies of the Bible over the side so that they would fall down to earth and be found by people such as your uncle. Thankfully, when your uncle found one of these Bibles, he didn't summon creatures for evil but for good. Instead of having people flee from the truth like Shadow made all of his creatures do, your uncle used them to help further point people towards it. That is how he became known as the messenger among creatures. As for NightMaster, he was banished back to his territory and a special invisible wall was placed up to divide the territories. Everyone could pass through it, but if you were a Demon such as him, you would always get sent back. Even though their worlds had combined, those two never saw much of each other ever again."
"So, what you're saying is that right now I may have lost my sister, but if I fight against Shadow and NightMaster wins, I may lose them all!!!"
"Not exactly. They might still exist further along; they just won't cause all of the events that you went through. They'll just be normal everyday people."
"Then again, they might not."
"What's your decision?"
"It has not changed. If we can instill love in Shadow and then help him win, the timeline will still be intact but with a nice Shadow instead of an evil one, we might just come out on top after all."
"What if we can't instill love?"
".....Then we have no choice but to cut the head off of the snake. All hope lies in Adelheid. It's in her hands and not mine. If she can instill love in Shadow before they reach the surface, then we may have light. If not, then only death shall greet us. LET'S MOVE!!"
"Where are we going?"
"To get you…. more body parts!!!"
"What's the plan, X? Do we go down and help out or stay up here and relax?"
"It all depends.....on that!!"
"Girls, at the ready. Whatever is entering our atmosphere, send them back."
"It's the king!! He's found us. He's taking us back."
"Stay strong. The king is dead, do you not remember?"
"That may be so, but his legacy is not. Before we left, we caused a lot of disruption, Xavier."
"Shapeshifter!!"
"Yes sir?"
"Can you turn into a dragon and show our uninvited guests the door, please? I have to find my mother, and no one is going to stop me from accomplishing that."
"It shall be done."
"KEEP YOUR EYES PELLED FOR THE DRAGON, TEAM!! This should be an easy get in, get out. We keep the casualties at a minimum."
"Adalyn, look. We may not have to search for the Dragon. One is coming towards us right now!!"
"DEFENSIVE FORMATION. I don't want blood on this one. Summer, take half of your dragons and circle around. The others circle the other way, and Star and I will help push it down."
"What if it attacks?"
"Then we defend!!"
"Hey, where'd it go? It just disappeared!!"
"Above you!! This dragon can shapeshift. Use your sword!!"
"Not yet!!"
"FREEZE!!"
"What the? He's not even a real Dragon. He's an ice dragon!!"
"Keep moving. Ice is easy to dodge but hard to get out of."
"Why are you here? Your king is dead, and if you don't leave then you too will be."
"King!! Our King is not dead!! He's alive."
"That's impossible. The girls swear it."
"Girls?"
"Adalyn, they think we are of kings men. They don't know who we are."
"Then let's introduce ourselves!!"
"Xavier, who's winning?"
"I can't see. I can't….oh no. Watch out!! They're about to crash."
"Who's on top?"
"I don't know. I don't….aaaghh!!"
"Uuah!! Uuuh. Is everyone ok?"
"Shapeshifter, can you hear me? Shapeshifter!! Where are you? Tell me you are ok. SHAPESHIFTER!!!
"He's dead!!!!"
"You lie. Who are you?"
"I stabbed him in the heart with my sword. He was a dragon."
"You're lying. He was no dragon."
"Then why did he attack us as one? Who is he?"
"He was my friend!! And you killed him!!!!"
"He attacked me. I defended!!"
"You didn't have to kill him. My dad would never order his men to kill on impulse. He'd tell them to first love then kill."
"I am love!!"
"Loving death doesn't count."
"I….I....I'm sorry. We mistook him as our Dragon we came to kill."
"Whatever your business is here on my planet, I can assure you that Shapeshifter has no part in it."
"We see that now and again, we are sorry."
"Sorry, does not bring my friend back. Now take all of your dragons here and leave my kingdom before I do something that I'll regret later."
"Sorry, may not bring your friend back...but I think I might."
"Don't touch him. You have defiled him enough. Must you do it more?"
"Son, it's okay. She is simply righting a wrong by healing your friend and bringing him back to….your kingdom? You're the king?"
"That I am, and I have worked hard and bled much to get to this position. The world hated me down on earth, but upon coming up here I realize that hurt follows. But now that I'm king, I will show these people never to mess with me. Everywhere I go, the world is corrupt, people die, you lose more than you gain, and nothing stays. The world I will create here shall be void from all evil. My world will be like a beautiful dream, except here, you will never have to wake up."
"Kid, stop it. You're starting to sound just like…..Shadow?"
"Thank you, Adalyn. I can breathe again."
"Wait, how come Shapeshifter knows Adalyn's name? Summer, where have you taken us?"
"Well, if the fate of the world depends on the battle between NightMaster and Shadow, we first need to go back in time to understand how each got their start. We need to go back before Shadow was Shadow and Night was Night. Meet Xavier who will later be known as…"
"Shadow!!"
"Then that means Shapeshifter is…."
"Nightmaster!!"
"You're forgetting some."
"I know. You four girls must be Genie, Autumn, Abby…and last but not least; Sofia."
"How do you all know who we are?"
"Xavier, I've heard of you. The child that became king and then one night…..just vanished."
"I didn't vanish. Shapeshifter saved me and brought me here to see my father. Instead of seeing him, I found these girls and decided to rebuild my dad's world. Tell me, do we really fight each other in the future? If so, then how do we avoid it?"
"Adalyn, we can't tell them anymore of the future or else they might change it. Remember, we are here for the Dragon and nothing else."
"But everyone here is no Dragon. We know all of these people."
"Then the dragon is not up here, but down there."
"You're going down to the surface? May we join you? I'm looking for my mom down there. Shapeshifter has told me that she is searching for me everywhere but has not found me. Please, her not finding me is turning her mad. She has locked up my bio family just because they won't speak, but although she may be turning cruel on the outside; I still see her as my mom and want to go to her."
"Xavier, don't you see. Love for your mother is blinding you from seeing her as the true enemy. She is…."
"Dragon!!"
"I don't care what she is or who she is. To me, she's my mother and that's good enough for any reason."
"Shadow, don't you see. She is the thorn that we have to get rid of. Leave your love behind and witness the truth. See things for what they are and not what you want them to be."
"You're one to talk, Lovechild!!! Aren't you three supposed to be advocating to help others see what they could be and not who they are now?"
(For those confused, this book is starting to jump through many time changes. So, if you confused, then keep up. Starlyn and her dragons have just transported back to before Night and Shadow were themselves and how they turned evil. the thing is, they never were evil. It was the dragon...a.k.a his mother who turned his heart and that is who they are to kill. Ps, yes, this is Xavier from Light seeker so if you need to reread that in order to find out how Shadow and Night got their start, then I'd advise you to do so because I have a bit more exploring into Xavier before the girls leave and go back to the present/the time they were in when they met Adelheid.)
