13) Claire

"Today I'll take you all to meet someone." announced Udonna as everyone gathered. "Come let's go."

She took them towards a wall then pressed a protruding block.

*Rumble*

A huge gate opened leading to a tunnel. They entered inside and started walking. After a few hours they reached a garden. In the garden an elf was lying on a swing hanging from a huge tree.

Hearing our footsteps she opened our eyes.

"Snow you are here!!!" the elf jumped down from the swing and came towards us.

Udonna smiled and introduced us to each other. "This is Claire, the gatekeeper of the dimensions. And Claire these are the new mystic warriors, Iris, Nico, Alex, Simon and Gloria."

The elf looked towards us, then after turning to look at me, she suddenly said "Ah! Lucia and Martin".

" Yes she's their daughter" confirmed Udonna.

After hearing this Claire smiled at me gently, and then she continued "Looks like you all have gained your powers and weapons, right. So the next step is to read magical books and find information about Ileous."

"Claire is the gatekeeper for the door of different dimensions. She'll open gates to different worlds where you will go and find information in the libraries or from other sources." explained Udonna.

"Okay so are you all ready now?" she asked looking towards us.

"Yes" we nodded.

Claire closed her eyes and chanted something when five colorful teleportation gates appeared in front of us.

We all entered one gate each then vanished from there.

I closed my eyes feeling the space warping around me and when I opened my eyes after a few seconds I found myself surrounded by shiny castles. I started wandering around.

Suddenly I saw a ball of light tumbling on the ground. It looked very pretty and I could sense some familiar aura from it but it was about to be stepped on, by the passersby. I used lightning on my feet to increase my speed then appeared beside the light ball and picked it up.

"Phew!! You were about to be crushed under someone's feet just now." I was going to keep it down somewhere at the side, but suddenly I saw two eyes blinking at me and a small mouth appearing on the ball.

We both stared at each other in stalemate for a few seconds then the golden ball came towards my face and touched my forehead with its own.

'My name is Astra.' I heard a voice in my head and looked around to find its source.

'Sister it's me' the ball waved in front of me.

I looked at it "Are you the one who's talking to me in my head?"

'Yes sister, thank you for saving me just now.'

"No problem" I looked at it curiously.

Sensing my gaze, it said ' I'm a light fairy. I'm still in my premature stage but I wanted to look around and got lost. Sister can you send me back? Please.'

"This..."

"I don't know where you live."

'Oh my home is the biggest castle here.'

"Hmm" I looked around and finally saw a huge castle in the opposite direction which was a bit far from here.

"Alright I'll take you back." I said then picked her up and walked towards the castle.
