"No, don't!" Astoria pleaded.
She knew it was not her place to allow Lumina to take the Silver Ocean from her. Nexi should be the one to decide since the power was given to the young princess.
"Good," Lumina grinned, compelling the tremors to stop.
"Then you can possess it, but start using it. Do not fear it as I believe you will need it to destroy the Lord of Darkness."
Astoria sighed in relief and ran her fingers lightly through her hair.
"Do you know anything about the Dark Lord?" she asked the Goddess.
"Let's just say he is an enemy I assumed I had eliminated long ago. There was a war almost 1300 years ago, and he was a great supernatural being who was not as well known as he wanted to be. One day, he made a deal with Hades to wreak havoc upon the world."
The Goddess stood up and began walking into the field of flowers. She followed suit and walked beside her, listening attentively to her story.
