Alyona and the Shadowspear Story #1

Alyona and the Shadowspear

It's a rainy day in London today. It's cold and dark outside. The sound of raindrops can be heard as they hit Alyonas windows. Alyona doesn't want to get up this morning. But today is Saturday and it's her first day off. She needs to get chores done today. She lies in bed comfortably still wrapped in blankets. “Ugh! Why can't I be rich enough to hire a house elf or a maid?” Alyona says to herself as she forces herself to get out of bed. Her Loft is fairly modern looking. With hardwood floors of a dark wood color the rest of her house is painted a white with some darker green colors. On the left side of her bed is a large window that overlooks London. She can see Tower Bridge in the distance. She gets out of bed and and stares out the window for a moment. She then makes her way to her kitchen where she is preparing to make herself breakfast. She starts up her cappuccino machine and puts a bagel in the toaster. Her small kitchen table is a bit of a mess. Her laptop and a lot of paperwork from the museum are all over! She swiftly takes all the papers and makes a pile of them and sets them on the edge of the kitchen table. On her laptop she sees an incoming email from her boss at the Museum. The alert says “ Urgent! Please read immediately!” But Alyona doesn't open the email. Her boss always sends the staff these emails! But they're never about anything rather important anyway. Most of the emails are about new artifacts they'll be receiving or a new event that caters to the ultra rich who love expensive old items. Now that her bagel and cappuccino is ready, she begins to eat and drink as she watches videos online. After about fifteen minutes Alyona decided to take a shower. She heads to the bathroom and prepares to start her day. She's about to jump in the shower when she realized that she has forgotten her phone on her nightstand near her bed! She tells herself “Ehh, I can be without my phone for a bit.” Now finished with her shower she heads back to where her bed is and gets dressed. She puts on a black turtle neck and blue skinny jeans. She ties her hair in a pony tail and grabs her phone on the nightstand. She sees five missed calls from her boss. “ Huh.... I wonder what's going on. Maybe he butt dialed me or something?” She tells her self laughing a bit. She calls her boss as fast as she can. “ Hello? Alyona? I have no time to talk or explain. I need you to come down to the museum as fast as you can. I called everyone else, they're on their way too. I'll see you when you get here.” Her boss says then hanging up quickly. The Museum wasn't that far away from her Loft. It's about a good ten minute walk. London was always one of her favorite cities so walking wasn't a problem at all! Even if it was raining. As she gets closer to the Museum she sees it the road leading to the Museum blocked off! The police are everywhere and even the Boros Legion is there too! “ What the hell is going on? The military too?” Alyona says to herself as she gets more concerned. She sees her boss named Buho in the sea of people. Buho is an Owl from the realm of Zendikar, how now lives on earth working as the head director of the London Magical Artifact Museum. Buho and Alyona greet each other and Buho says “ We'll talk once we get inside but let's wait for Hermione to get here.” As Alyona looks around she cant believe her eyes! Whatever has happened is very serious. Just then Hermione shows up. Her husband Malfoy drops her off and gives Hermione a kiss before she leaves the car. As all three are together they head into the museums cafeteria where the rest of the staff is gathered. Buho says loudly “ Can I have everyone's attention please? Good! Sadly we've had a theft here. The shadowspear has been stolen. Now, we dont know who or why it was stolen. But the police are here. The Muggle police and the Ministry of Relics are here to investigate this crime. Please help them with any questions they may have about the spear or anything else they want to know. So I ask that you all stay here until they're done with their questioning and everything else.” The cafeteria fills with a commotion! Hermione and Alyona are work partners. Their job at the museum is fairly easy: To write articles and do as much research on the items they receive so that museum guests can have a background story on all the of the artifacts.

Alyona and Hermione sit and wait for this to be done with. They're getting bored and time is just passing them by. But their boredom would soon be over. Two detectives approach them. They introduce themelves “ Hello, I'm Brian Meloni of the London Police and this is Alastor Moody, he's working with the Misitry of Relics. We have some questions to ask you two if you don't mind.” Alyona and Hermione nod their heads yes as Brian and Alastor sit down with them. Alastor starts to speak saying “ I know we just sat down, but, could you take us to the area where the Spear was being displayed?” Alyona says “Sure” and takes them to the equipment area of the museum. The spear was displayed in a glass case that was hung on the wall. It was supposed to be theft proof. The best the museum could buy in magical spells to prevent theft and muggle technology was used too. Brain turn to Hermione and says “ This is one odd case! Tell me Herminone and Alyona? How is it possible to steal a spear so protected?” Hermione chuckles saying “ It's not possible sir. We even had criminals from the jail come here and try to steal it.. under police supervision of course and even still the best thieves couldn't get the spear from the case.” The four of them stare at the empty case wondering how this could have happened . As they stood there looking at the case about five men came along and took the display case off the wall. Alastor tells them “ Lads? Take that down to cleaning room here in the museum.” Other police officers and detectives are everywhere using magical spells and dusting for fingerprints in an attempt to find any proof or evidence of who has done this. Alyona phone rings and she answers “ Uh hello? Alex?! Oh my God! How are you?!” she says. Alex replies “ I'm fine Alyona! I'm in London now, I have a concert there in a week. I figured I come down here early to see you and spend time with you my old friend.” Alyona is so happy! She replies back “ Yeah! Sure! I won't be home soon though, but I'll call you or head down to the hotel you're staying at. Just send me the address.” Alyona hangs up the phone and Hermione says to her “ Hmph! Alex huh? This surely isn't a coincidence. Now this offended Alyona. “Damn it Hermione! Just because you don't like him doesn't mean you have to say stupid shit like that about him! He's my friend!” Brian and Alastor stand there and ask Hermione what she meant by “ This isn't a coincidence.” Hermione tells them “ Alex? Do you not know him? That famous guitarist who came out and told everyone he was once part of the Dimir Shadow Guild? Don't you think it's odd that he's here and the spear is missing? I bet he's the one that stole it too!” Alyona yells at the top of her lungs “ HERMIONE? SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM! SHUT UP!” Brian goes up to Alyona and puts his hand on her back to try and calm her down. Rubbing her back he says “Well let's not say things that we don't know are true. And right now? There's no way it was him or anyone in the Shadow guild.” Hermione answers saying “Well let's see here. A former Dimir member which by the way is filled with thieves and the like is here in London and we have a missing item. That doesn't seem odd to you both at all?” Alastor pacing the room says “ Not odd at all Hermione. You see this theft has none of the calling cards of a Dimir member. And isn't Alex already a highly accomplished wizard? I'm sure the spells he knows far exceed the spear itself. I've been doing this job for twenty-five years and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.” Hermione has a disappointing look on her face. She figured they would at least agree with her. But the two detectives didn't see eye to with her. Brian says to Alyona and Hermione “ Why don't you two go back home, get some rest don;t worry about this. We can handle this. If we need you? We'll call for you ok?” Alyona and Herminone nod their heads yes and leave the museum. Alyona begins walking back home and calls Alex again. Alex tells her that he's at the Strixhaven Auditorium practicing his music and he'd love for her to come and see him practice. Alyona tells Alex she'll be there in a few hours. She has things to do before seeing him. Now Alex has always played a show at the Stixhaven Auditorium. Hermione knew this as Alex never played anywhere else. So instead of going home, Hermione decided to sneak around at the Auditorium and find Alex and what he's up to.

Hermione now at the Auditorium casts an invisibility spell on herself. And begins to walk around quietly. There she sees Alex on the stage all by himself. He takes his right hand and makes a summon motion! He calls forth an Illusory Angel! Even though Hermione didn't like Alex, she admired his spells. The Illusory angel was no exception. This angel was an Illusion and just as powerful as most summoned angels. She sits and watched the interaction of the angel and Alex for a bit. The angel flies down to Alex and Alex asks his angel “What weapon do you want today? The Sword, War Hammer or the spear? The angel speaks with a gentle yet commanding voice that filled the auditorium saying “ give me the spear.” And to Hermiones surprise Alex called forth the Shadowspear! Now she knew who has stolen this magical item! And she has proof! She runs out of the auditorium as fast as she can! As soon as she's out side she calls Buho and tells him to tell the police to send everyone to the Auditorium now! Within minutes the police are there, but Brian and Alastar are not with any of them. The police ask Hermione why they were asked to come to the Auditorium. Hermione tells them that Alex has the spear and that she just saw him give it to one of his angels! The Police rush inside with guns and wands drawn! They Surround Alex and ask for him to hand over the spear. Alex asks the angel to show them the spear. And they immediately arrest Alex for theft of the spear! Alex put up no fight and gave them the spear without saying a word. Now this really confused Hermione. “ Why would he not put up a fight? He could have easily fought them all off.” she says to herself. As Hermione walks home she begins to think about the spear and why Alex would steal it? At the same time Alyona tries to call Alex but no answer. She doesn't know her friend is in jail for the spear. But Alyona doesn't think nothing of it. Of course it's a bit strange he didn't pick up his phone, but it didn't worry her so much as she knows how busy his life can be being a rockstar. So Alyona finishes up her chores and shopping and heads home to get some dinner and a good night sleep.

The weekend passed by fast. She never got a call from Brian or Alastor about anything. But she wasn't too concerned as she was very busy with her own affairs. But now it's Monday morning and she heads to work just like any other day. Alyona heads down to the lower parts of the museum and sees the forensics teams trying to figure everything out. Brian and Alastor show up an hour later and begin to question others that work at the museum. Hermione never said anything to Alyona at all. She kept what had happened from her best friend as she knew that it would put a lot of strain on their friendship. But no matter how much Hermione wanted to hide the truth from Alyona, the truth was going to come out. As the work day ended for Herminone and Alyona, Brian and Alastor called them both down to the cleaning room which was in the basement of the museum. Without hesitation Alastor says “ Hermione you had the wrong man arrested! Alex didn't steal the spear.” Alyona with a shocked look on her face angrily looks at Hermione. Herimone says in a panic “ Wha.. what do you mean? I saw him with the spear! The spear that's right there on that table!” Brian points to the spear saying “ Our forensics teams both muggle and magical analyzed the spear. This is not the same spear the museum had, it's an entirely different one.” Now Herminoe feels bad real bad. But still she can't understand. The spear was said to have been the only one in existence when the museum had gotten it. Herminoe can barely get a word out of her mouth and she can only say “ Explain.”Alastor picks up the spear and says “ This spear here has one major difference from the one that was originally here. The original one had some sort of magical dust on it. Our investigators said it's from Gods that were slain with this spear. But the spear I'm holding? It has the blood of nearly every living creature on it. And this spear is heavily used too. It's not a duplicate either. Our team analyzed the materials and they're an exact match. So we have an innocent man in jail and we now know there are two spears instead of only one.” Alyona crying asks where Alex is being held. Brian tells Alyona he's at the Local police station being held and awaiting trial. “Ahh Alyona, don't worry. He's innocent and Alastor and I are going there now to tell them what we all just found out. You're both more than welcome to come with us if you wish.” Brian tells Alyona calmly.

The four get to the police station and Alyona asks to see Alex immediately. The police allow Alyona and Hermione to see him. Alyona crying runs to Alex and hugs him saying she's so sorry for what has happened. But something isn't right. Alex looks distraught. He takes Alyonas hands and holds them so lovingly saying “ I need you to go to my home in downtown Chicago and get a letter and hand deliver it to someone. But take this card I have here.” Alex hands Alyona very pretty membership card saying “ Go to the Horseguards hotel here in London and show this to the Concierge. They'll take care of everything you need in order to do what I ask of you ok?” Alyona wiping her tears says with a crackling voice “what do you need me to do Alex?” Alex whispers in her ear “ Go to my home in Downtown Chicago and find a binder that says “invasion” in that binder is a letter and on that letter are instructions on what to do with that letter and how to deliver it. I love you my friend. Please do this for me.” Alyona kisses Alex on the cheek and says her goodbyes. As she leaves the jail cell area Brian and Alastor are waiting for her and Hermione. “ Uhh can we talk to you both outside please?” Alastor says. The four walk out to the large parking lot at the police station. Brian and Alastor looking around before they speak say “Get this girls, we've been pulled off the investigation. We went to tell them about how your friend is innocent but they wouldn't hear it. I don't know what's going on but it seems like someone high up wants Alex in prison for good. But there's something else too we found out. The investigative team opened the case which held the original shadowspear and there was some kind of black oil on it. Also this oil was found on security cameras too. The team said this oil is unlike anything they've ever seen. Under a microscope there are small nanobots. Nanobots are robots on a cellular sized level. I told them to keep samples with them and not to turn them all over. We need to get the truth out that your friend is innocent! I refuse to let an innocent man be punished for a crime he did not commit.”

Alyona and Hermione take a taxi cab to the Hotel. This hotel is beautiful and old! Rooms here are at the lowest of $300 a night and the most nearly $1,100 per night. The two head to the front desk and as for the concierge. The concierge shows up expediently and asks them what they both need. Alyona pulls the card from her purse and gives it to the elf. The elf bows and says “ right this way ladies!” The elf takes them to Alex's room. “What in the actual....” they both say to each other. This isn't a hotel room. This is a suite! They both walk around the suite saying “this place is bigger than my own home!” It is very beautifully decorated with a vintage modern look and feel to the room. Amazed by it's look Alyona almost forgets why she's even here. Snapping her fingers she calls to the concierge saying “Oh so my friend Alex, he wants us to go to his home in Chicago? Told us you can help us with that?” The elf replies “Sure thing I can. I'll get you both first class tickets for tomorrow morning, does that sound good? I'll also have our chef bring you the finest meals for you dinner today too!”

Alyona and Hermione did what Alex told them. They went to his home in Chicago and started looking for a folder with the name "Invasion". Hermione looks at Alyona and says: "Wow! Flying by plane is an unforgettable experience! You Muggles really have interesting ways to travel!" Alyona laughs a little and reaches into her purse to get the keys to Alex's apartment. The exterior of the apartment is made in charcoal gray, and the windows are made of frosted glass. The front door is very black, with an angel carved on it. It's been at least two years since Alyona visited Alex in Chicago. She has always loved this American city. Always so lively, energetic and modern. When Alyona opens the door, Hermione gasps from the interior of the Apartment.The walls are painted bright orange, and the chairs, tables, countertops and appliances are either completely black or dark gray. "Okay, so we need to find this folder." Hermione says. The apartment has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a dining room, a living room and a kitchen. They see serval bookcases in the living room, but none of them have bindings. They both reluctantly go to the other rooms. It wasn't that they were afraid, it had more to do with privacy than anything else. After all, these were his bedrooms. But the door to one room was wide open. When they both went inside, they noticed that the room was actually an office. There was a desktop, a laptop, and bookshelves hung on one wall. "ah! I found the folders!" Alyona says excitedly. They both hurriedly start reading the labels on the bindings. Then Alyona sees the one they are looking for. She opens the folder and, of course, on the first page there is the letter Alex was talking about. Inside the book it is written: "open and close the door to this room three times, and the portal will open for Aldorius." Without hesitation, Hermione goes to the office door, opens and closes it three times. And indeed, the doorway glowed with a soft white light! Alyona turns to Hermione and says: "Are you ready?" Hermione nods her head in the affirmative, and they both pass through the portal. Instantly they are inside the forest. In front of them is a beautiful fountain with water, and they notice that they are in the middle of a stone arch. A path made of stones winds through the forest. They can't believe their eyes! It's a beautiful forest. The leaves and grass are perfectly green. Flowers and other plants look great. They walk for about 45 minutes until they see a big white wall. The stone path is still going on. The closer they get to that wall, the bigger it gets. Erminon and Alyona reach the end of the forest, and here it is! Massive alabaster wall. They will need another couple of minutes of walking to get to the gate. They cross a small bridge spanning the moat surrounding the wall. As soon as they cross the bridge, they see a massive gate with two doors, and on both sides there are two large statues of birds with a height of 3.05 meters. The statues are dressed in chain mail armor and hold swords that point down into the ground. Both had almost reached the gate when all hell broke loose! A loud horn sound is heard! Immediately at the top of the tower are archers who point their bows at the two girls. The girls also notice on the very corners of the walls of the tower with ballistas, which also aimed at them. Alyona and Hermione are getting ready to pull out their wands to protect themselves. The gates close their doors and the bird statue comes to life. Both grab their swords and go to intercept Alyona and Hermione! These two big birds are standing in front of them, and the first one starts talking, saying, "Are you both not from this world?! Who are you and why are you here? Answer before we send you to the grave!" Alyona calmly replies: "I have come to deliver this letter to the Queen of Aldorius. This is a letter from my friend Alex." Alyona takes a letter out of her pocket and hands it to the big bird. The bird takes the letter and recognizes the blue wax seal on the back. This letter was indeed from Alex! The bird then waves to the archers and the watchtower, telling them that these two women pose no threat to the kingdom. The first bird says, "My name is Charlie, and this is my sister Archa, we are both from the so-called Aven race that lives here on Aldridge. We will take you inside the walls of the kingdom, once you are there, you will be accompanied by centurions, who will then take you to the queen. Her palace is almost 1 km away from this place. Both Charlie and Archa return to their place in front of the gate. Just at this moment, four centaurs appear. Two women and two men. Four centaurs surround Alyona and Hermione. This is not done to threaten them, but to protect them, because they are outsiders. Centaurs are dressed in leather armor decorated with gold and green flowers, and each of them holds magic staffs.The Kingdom of Aldorius is beautiful! A white marble path leads directly to the palace! On both sides of the path are street vendors selling everything from meat, candy and magic potions! This kingdom was very well maintained and very beautiful, it seemed straight out of a fairy tale. The leading Centaur introduces himself with the words: "My name is Cleo, I am the commander of 42 infantry here in Aldorius! Get on top of us! We'll drop you off at the Ziggurat. When they go to the Ziggurat, many inhabitants of the kingdom begin to pay attention to Alyona and Hermione. They give them gifts in the form of sweets and precious stones. Finally they reach the Ziggurat. It is destroyed just like the pyramids on earth! But this ziggurat is made of white marble and decorated with emeralds and gold. When they come in, it's nothing short of amazing. The inside of this Ziggurat is suitable for any king and queen! Servants are everywhere! The floor is polished to a mirror shine. The sweet fragrance of incense fills a large room with beautiful sofas and handmade carpets. A human woman is standing in front of them. She is wearing a dark blue dress embroidered with silver. There's a ring on almost every finger of hers. Her hair is a beautiful dark brown, long and loose. She wears glasses and has a beautiful smile. She turns to Alyona and Hermione and greets them: "Hello! My name is Katya, I am the queen of the Kingdom, welcome!" All three shake hands, and after introducing each other, Alyona gives the letter to Katya. Katya takes the letter and is filled with anger! Both Alyona and Hermione see it in her eyes. Screaming at the top of her voice and with tears in her eyes, Katya says: "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND? Alyona whispers to Hermione : "Tell her" Hermione takes a deep breath and explains what happened to Alex. "In short. Alex was falsely arrested for stealing an item known as the Shadow Spear. We are both working to free him. But he asked us to give you this letter." Katya wipes tears from her eyes. "please sit down," Katya says to both of them. The three of them sit down in the center of the room. The servants approach Katya and ask her, as well as the new guests, if they need anything. Katya says: "Bring me something to eat, please." The servants quickly run off to the kitchen to prepare food for their queen. Katya starts saying, "Who would put Alex in jail for such a crime? He has everything he wanted! He's one of the most powerful Magicians I've ever seen! Why? Why did this happen?" Now they both know the truth. That Hermione was the one who got him arrested. But they both kept silent about it. Because they were afraid that Katya would punish them both for what happened to Alex. Erminone says, "We were just told to give you this letter, nothing more." Katya opens the letter and begins to read it. Katya snaps her fingers, and a Dryad runs up to her. Speaking in the language of the ancestors, the Dryad bows her head and leaves. Just at this moment, one of her servants brings her hot tea and puts it on the table in front of her. Katya takes a sip of tea and says to Alyona and Hermione: "I'll tell you a story. So make yourself comfortable." Alyona and Hermione nod their heads in the affirmative in response. Katya gets up and starts telling her story

The story

Katya stood up and began to speak. "There was once a great war. It happened many year ago. Monsters of flesh and metal came though a portal and began to burn the very forest you both seen as you came to this Kingdom. My father had lead an army of soldiers who fought these things! We were at our wits end. Centaurs, Dryads, Humans and Avens were dying at an alarming rate. We knew we would lose this war. But then something so mysterious happened. Another portal appears in the distance. The light it gave off was a beautiful blue. You ever seen the blue in a fire? This was the portals color. A man had come through dressed very oddly. Both sides stopped and looked in awe at who this was. They say time never stops. But it sure felt like time stopped then. The man looked at me and gave me a warm smile. Hey then went up to my father and said to him " I am here seeking a particular spell. i wish to obtain this knowledge. In return I will give you what you ask for no matter how big the price. Now, I am not so sure as what he asked my father. But whatever it was my father did not want to give this strange man what he has asked for. So my father asked for the impossible. He asked the man to end this war now! To end it before his eyes as my father wished to see this for himself. And only then will he give the man what he has asked for. The man turned his back to my father telling everyone to close their eyes. But none of us did. The man then raises his arms and on his palms came forth this black smoke which then turned into skulls! The sky turned to black and then the sound of screams were heard. And then a Erie silence came over. My father dropped to his knees asking the man why he killed everything? And that the deal was off because he killed his soldiers and the natural life in the forest. I began to cry as I saw the absolute destruction of my kingdom before me. but the man knelled before me and wiped my tears from my face. He took a ring from his finger and placed it on my finger telling me that the ring will grant me any wish i wanted as long as it was in good faith and to never ask the ring for evil or anything immoral. Now i was just a young little girl then when I met this man. After he had given me the ring he went to my father. And from a pouch the man had he had given my father two medallions. One made of a large pearl and the other a large Emerald. The man promised to return to our kingdom to repair the forest he had killed. This man you know as you best friend Alex."

Katya then sits down back in her chair and says " I do not know why anyone would believe he would steal a spear? If he could kill everything in his path, why would he need a spear? Alyona replies " well he had one so..." Katya then stands up she takes her right arm and extends it. A bunch of vines and flowers begin to wrap her forearm. And what do you think appears? A Shadowspear! Alyona and Hermionie are shocked and speechless! Katya then says to them "follow me I have something to show you both." Alyona and Hermionie follow Katya up the spiral staircase to the top of the Ziggurat. Katya points to the forest and says " Do you see these trees? On your world you call them weeping willows, do you see them?" Alyona nods her head yes. Katya continues " Each was once a Dryad. As the Dryads die they return to the soil and become these trees. The larger the tree the more knowledge that dryad had in them. But the largest one is Alrodian. She is the maker of our world. We also call her the World Tree. I will take you to her. She can help you with what you seek.

Katya takes Hermione and Alyona down to the ground floor of the Ziggurat. Katya snaps her fingers and two young humans come to her side. "Hello my eager cadets!" she says happily and proudly. "Go and fetch us three Regal Unicorns from the stables please. I am taking our guests to see the World Tree." The two eager cadets salute Katya and off they go with haste to get what she's asked for. The food Katya had asked for his now ready and sits on a large dinner table in the middle of the Ziggurat. Katya asks Alyona and Hermione to sit and eat with her. On the table is a feast! They do not know of the food this world has. But it smells and looks wonderful. As the three sit down others within the Zigggurat also take their seats at the table. As everyone else begins to eat Katya starts to explain what each platter of food has on it. Katya points to a large silver platter in the middle of the table and says "Oh so this is Wumpus meat. On your realm earth it tastes like lamb." She then point at these four large glass containers saying "This is Peach juice which Im sure you know already. Oh Alex brought these for us. Peaches don’t grow here in Aldorius. So we harvest them here and since we have perfect weather here, we can grow them year round." Katya breifly explains the rest of the food and the three begin to eat. Alyona and Hermionie are amazed at the taste of the Wumpus! " It really does taste like lamb." Alyona says to Katya. They all sit and eat for about an hour. Conversing and talking about their friend Alex. No sooner than they were done with their meal came the two cadets that were sent out to get the Unicorns. No matter on what realm you're on Unicorns are still majestic beasts and are always treated as such. These Unicorn were some of the most beautiful Alyona and Hermionie have ever seen. The Unicorns are a pure white and thee horn is polished to perfection. These animals were very well taken care of. Katya turns to Alyona nd Hermione and says " Before we go we need to get you into some different clothes." Katya leads them to the private bath area of the Ziggurat. As she opens the door to the bathing rooms she says " Clean up and wear the clothes provided for you in each of your rooms. I'll have our tailor bring you some hand made bags so you can put the clothes you have on now in them." As the two finish their baths they put the clothes that Katya had given them on. Odd... they think to themselves. Their clothing reminds them of ancient Greek times. The clothes given to them match their color alignment. Alyona wearing a white and blue tunic and cloak. Where Hermionie wore a White and red. They come out of the bathing rooms and sit down near Katya. Immediately groomers had come to come their hair and add other jewelry to the two girls. "ahhh you girls look exactly like you come from Theros!" Katya says to them. The three of them mount the Unicorns and Katya thanks the two cadets for their help saying " take the rest of the day off! Also take as much food as you both want back home to your families! Thank you again my cadets." The eager cadets smile and are filled with joy. Their Queen Katya was always so giving and kind to all the people in the kingdom. They now make there way through the thick forest of Aldorius. The trees so green it isunbelievable! they even pass the peach trees which seems to go on for miles and miles! For a world without technology they are very amazed to see how self sufficient they are. They see proper irrigation to their crops and so forth. They ride for about twenty minutes until the reach the World Tree.

They dismount the Unicorns and begin to approach the World Tree. "Hello Katya!" the World Tree says to her. " I see you've brought the earthen people to me? Come closer so that I may see them better." Alyona and Hermionie walk right up to the tree and also return the hello to the Tree. "I know why you are here" says Aldorious "So I will make this quick as time is short. Behind me is a cave to the Underworld. It is the only way to get to Theros from here. Please, each of you take a golden fruit from my branches. Give this to the ferry spirit inside the cave. This is needed for anyone who travels to the underworld who is not from Aldorious." Hermionie asks " Is there another way to get to Theros from Aldorious?" The tree replies "No, there is not." The two girls look puzzled and ask why this is the only way. The World Tree responds "Our world is not like most worlds. We do not have crime of any kind. We understand what life means here. To respect others regardless of who they are or their opinions. My kingdom is pure and because of that any from my Kingdom can pass to theros without the need to pay the ferry spirit. Now I must be honest with you. I can only guarantee your passage to Theros from this cave. I cannot guarantee your return back here. For this you will need special coins. I know why you're both here. I tell you this. The mystery of the Shadowspear lies on the realm of Theros. Now go too much time has passed." Katya walks alyona and Hermione to the cave. But before they go in Katya gives them two small pouches made of leather. "inside of these pouches are a candy we call Rubis. If you eat it you will be able to understand any language spoken no matter where you are. Also as you speak now? your spoken language will come out as the language that is being spoken in that realm. You wont notice anything, You'll speak English just as normal but it will come out sounding different to everyone else." Alyona and Hermione hug Katya and give her many thanks telling her "They will try their hardest to free their friend Alex for her."

The cave to the Underworld of Theros is something not for the feint of heart. It's dark and damp. The air inside the cave is rather cool and a slight smell of mold fills the air. As the two walk further into the cave, there is a large cliff that drops off in to nothingness. Well this sucks!" Alyona says aloud. The Airship then magically appears out of nowhere. It is rather old, the wear and tear on this ship shows that this thing has seen better days. The Ferry spirit stands with his hand extended awaiting payment to cross. The two girls hand over the fruit they've gotten from the World Tree back in Aldorious. The airship flies through the Underworld. On the left and right sides they can see how far the Underworld goes down. Each level of the underworld is carved out of sides of the rock in side the cave. "Unbelievable! This must be at least eight stories high!" Hermionie says to Alyona. They walk to the stern of the ship and look over the railing. What do they see? Fire and lava. They see the wicked being punished for their crimes. Suerly a place no one would want to visit. But luckily they're just passing through. They finally reach the end of the underworld. Theros is waiting for them on the other side. As soon as both girls get off the Airship, it vanishes into thin air. As they begin to walk out of the underworld they can see the light from the other side. It's not long before they reach Theros! Finally exiting the cave they look back towards the inside of the cave. But it is no longer there! The cave entrance has sealed itself and they do not know any spells to open it nor any other way to open the cave entrance to return to Aldorious. Now the girls are very distraught! With no way back to Aldorious things just got worse for them. HErminoie reminds Alyona for them to eat the candy that was given to them by Katya. They both eat of it and begin to walk in to the capital city of Theros. As they get closer to the city limits they can see large Temples dedicated to the Gods of Theross such as Heliod, Nylea and Thassa. Parthenon and Acropolis are also seen. Now this world was vastly different than Aldorious. There were way more buildings and many more people here. Unlike Aldorious there was no shops on the outside. Every person selling something had their own building. Satyrs, Elves, Minotaur, Humans and Centaur too lived here. Alyona and HErmione are astonished! Theros looks exactly like ancient Greece. Maybe this was their alternate universe of some sorts? A young Satyr is yelling " COME WATCH THE FIGHTS IN THE GRAND COLISEUM! PLACE YOUR BETS! EAT GOOD! HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!" Just then a Sayers walks buy hauling a wagon saying "Need weapons? Equipment?! I have the best in all of Theros!" AH HA! This was the moment they both were looking for! They walk up to the Centaur and begin to look at his armor and weapons. But they don't see it. They don't see the Shadowspear. Herminonie asks " Could you tell me where one might find the Shadowspear?" The Satyr replies " Just up that mountain. You see that small cottage? A Husband and wife live there. They are Sages and have been around for ages. If anyone knows where to get the spear? It's them. For a fee I could take you there myself if you'd like?" The both have no known currency of Theros but Alyona was very cunning. She knew a replication spell. This spell could copy anything,but, she needed to have the item in her possession in order to copy the item. Alyona told the Satyr that they would not be needing the help just yet. But soon enough. Thinking quickly she sees an altar to the god Heliod. On this altar people have left many things. Some have left food, pots, clothing and of course coins and gems. Alyona looked around carefully before picking up one of the coins. She swiftly picks it up and chants her replicate spell very quietly. The larger bag that was given to her by Katya fills with these coins. The weight is very heavy indeed! They both then return to the Satyr and ask him to take them up to the cottage of which he had told them of. Alyona opens up her bag and gives a handful of these coins to the Satyr. "Well oh my! This is more than enough young ladies! I shall provide you the best of service and the most comfortable ride up that mountain." The satyr drops his smaller wagon that carried his wares and went to retrieve a large passenger wagon. "Please! Climb inside! only the best for someone as generous as you two!" The Satyr then hooks up a Pegasus to the Wagon and off they go to the Cottage atop the Mountain. Hermionie waits until theyre outside the city limits before she starts asking the Satyr questions. "Excuse me what's your name?" Hermionie asks politely. The Satyr replies "Sergey the best weapons merchant out there!" Hermionie counties talking saying "Can you give us a little more detail on this couple?" The saytr stops the wagon and hops into the passenger area. He casts a spell that holds on to the reigns and control the Pegasus on the ground so that they may continue to travel up the mountain. Sergey tells them " No one knows much about them actually. Other than that if you say the wrong thing you will pay for it with your life. Why would you two want to go there for anyway? The shadowspear isn't worth it." Alyona leans forward and asks "there's another way to get the spear? or?" Sergey lets out a small chuckle and says "They would ask you for all of your money to the the spear. And if you didnt give it all to them? Then you can forget about living. But You girls seem nice and I wouldn't take you to that spot. And besides the cottage is probably safer. Not by much though, but you'll have a better chance than dealing with a bunch of greedy clerics who run a Temple." Nightfall has now come and they are finally at their destination. The Satyr wishes them good luck on their journey and he rides back down the mountain. The cottage looks like something right out of a fairy tales they both read as children. The cottage is made of stones and there are windows with no glass. Black cats and other small animals roam free. The door to the cottage is open and the two enter.Inside the cottage is a large cauldron bubbling away. Old furniture and salamanders in small metal cages. The place is not dirty, it just looks creepy as hell! There stands the old woman who is all by herself. She says in her cackling voice "Hello my lovely ladies! what do you seek?" Alyona says "Information on the Shadowspear. Where can we get one?" MMMMMM the old woman says "My name is Bogbrew and what you ask is simple. The spear was a weapon of the Planeswalker Elspeth. The spear she got from her nightmares as she saw it in the hands of the God Heliod. She then used it to slay the Gods themselves! But you saw those foolish people still worshiping those gods didn't you? That's because theyre all worms! The refuse to believe that Elspeth had done such a thing! And now the clerics of each God make hoards of money off the backs of the clueless people! Now Im sure Sergey the Satyr told you that you can buy one yes? Well there's another way. it's called the trial of fears. One must go to the underworld and face their fears head on. if you succeed? You are awarded the spear. If not? Then you will spend eternity there as a punishment for seeking a weapon that does not need to be wielded!" Alyona then asks Bogbrew " So there's no set trial?" Bogbrew screams " NO! HAVE YE NOT LISTENED TO ME? The trial is about what you fear the most! That could be anything!" Bogbrew then paces around her cauldron and reaches for a salamander. Herminone then speaks to Bogbrew and says "I know a person who has the spear. Maybe you know who it is? I want to know how he obtained it?" Bogbrew begins stirring the contents of this cauldron.a sweet foul smell fills their nostrils. " What is his name?' Bogbrew asks. " His name is Alex and he is not from this world." YOU STUPID WOMEN! YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH THAT MONSTER? THAT EVIL HUMAN?! HOW DARE YOU MENTION HIS NAME!" hemonie replies to Bogbrew. Alyona with tears in her eyes takes her bag with the coins and dumps nearly all of them out onto a table and yells at Bogbrew "tell us what you know now!" Bogbrew sits in a chair near the cauldron still stirring away and says to them both "This man is pure evil he made a deal with Ashiok a thing of nightmares too. This thing is able to take anyone's nightmares and fear and make them into reality. The deal they made? Ashiok would take Alex to the Phyrexia so that he could find the magic needed to resurrect his wife Natalia. Alex was once married to a beautiful woman named Natalia. They were married for six earthen years. Until she was tragically killed in an accident. I believe this scarred his soul for the rest of his days. Alex traveled to nearly every realm to find magic to bring her back. But all refused or did not have the proper magic. So his journey led him to Phyrexia. There he made a deal with a man called yagmoth the father of machines as he is called. The deal was simply this " Alex would forever be his slave and be sent out to conquer worlds in the name of yawgmoth. The second? To obtain and give yawgmoth the ring of Aladdin. As Yawgmoth already has the lamp and bottle of Suleiman. Yawgmoth order alex to take a third of his army to Aldorious and kill all living things so that they may consume the realm for their own needs. Alex sent the Phyrexians first before he went through his own portal. But it seemed as if love and kindness shown this day. The Queen of Aldorious was just young and being prepared to be married to another man. Alex saw her face and to him she looked just like his wife. So Alex betrayed yawgmoth and killed the army which was sent to aldorious. Now how alex got the spear? As soon as he asked for the ability to cast it? they gave it to him? why? Alex is now living the fear he has always had. The fear of living alone with no love. The one woman he loved so much and gave his life to was no longer alive. I always wondered what has happened to that man." Alyona crying says to Bogbrew " he's in prison for being accused of stealing the spear from where we come from." Bogbrew stands up and says "Well he is innocent of course of this crime.But if you ask me? Let him rot in that prison! Keep such wickedness away!" Hermione consoling Alyona says to Bogbrew "Can you tell us who has the shadowspear?" Bogbrew goes to the table with all of the salamanders in cages and takes one out. She throws the small animal into her cauldron! The heat of the large pot instantly cooks the little creature on the spot. She then reaches for a small spice jar which is labled "Powder of unicorn horn" and throws a small amount of it into the cauldron. Just then an image appears. Thy call can see a man sitting on a very odd looking throne. Bogbrew exclaims "Do you know who that man is ladies? That's the father of machines himself! Yawgmoth! Now be quiet and pay attention!" All three of them stand silently while the watch and listen to what they are seeing in the cauldron.

Yawgmoth yells "TSABO TAVOC?! REPORT AT ONCE!" Tsabo Tavoc was once an ordinary female human. But she was captured by the Phyrexians and turned into a hellish monster! She had the upper body of any normal human female. But it was the rest of her which was horrible! Where her legs once where are now mechanical spider legs and an abodmen of a spider! She also has four arms. Her head is bald and her skin is grey. Tsabo approches Yawgmoth and bows before her master saying " what is your command?" Yawgmoth still sitting in his throne says " What news do you have for me Tsabo?" Tsabo stands up striaght and replies " My plan has worked flawlessly! I sent six of my best rogues disguised as humans to earth. They stole the shadowspear. But it seems revenge was in order too my Lord! For the Humans of earth has blamed our betrayer! Alex Zeypher of the Dimir Shadow Guild! He currently sits in one of their prisons awaiting to be prosecuted for this crime!" Tsabo lets out an evil laugh. Yawgmoth has an evil grin on his face and says "Tsabo? How long for us to forge the spear ourselves and hand them out in mass quantity?" Tsabo a bit afraid to give the answer tells Yawgmoth the wrong amount of time. As equipping the entire force would take 10,000 of their years. " 4,200 years my lord and we can prepare for our assaults!" Ywagmoth stands up and says "Take only 3,000 years. 4,200 is too long. Then, take those who have the weapon back to Aldoruis and finish the job Alex did not do for us! We need the resources and Aldorius is our next place to conquer!" Yawgmoth walks down farther in the room he's in. And there it is.... Bogbrew, Alyona, and Hermionie see what no one should ever lay eyes upon! Thousands upon thousands of Phyrexian soldiers! All in formation, standing perfectly still! These creatures that are half flesh and machine! Abominations! Pheyrexian Scutas, Battleflies, Crusaders, Colossus, Dreadnoughts,Hulks and many many more types all lined up and being preped for war!

The image they watched in the cauldron now fades away. Alyona crying harder says " Herminoie! We have to get back to Aldorious now! We dont know how much time we'll have left!" Bogbrew walks over to a chest she has in her house and begins to rummage through it. "Hmmmm ah ha!" Bogbrew takes a few items from the chest and hands them to the girls saying " This little box is known as a time searcher. Of course on every world time moves differently. But this little device calculates how much time pass between where you and the place you so desire to know. So example: 1,000 years on Phyrexia is six months here on Theros. But you will need to go to Aldorius to find the proper calculation for they world." Alyona nods her head in thanks to Bogbrew. Bogbrew then tells them of the other items she has given them. They are two stone runes. " This one with the tree is a portal Aldorius, the second is to be used for where ever you like. Just break them and off you go. But for the one with no emblem? You must say and visualize where you want to go." Again the girls give their thanks to Bogbrew. Alyona turns to Herminoe and says "You go back to earth and get everyone you can and head to Aldorius. I'll go to aldorius now and warn Katya." Bogbrew laughs and says " Foolish girl! You have only one stone of each how can one of you possibly go to Aldorius after returning to earth?" "Hmph" Alyona says and then casts her replicate spell on the stone runes saying " like this Bogbrew" Bogbrew is impressed! She had been bested by these two young girls she says to them "Ahh finally two girls who have outsmarted me! Wonderful! While I do not like your friend Alex, I hope you all can stop that invasion! Because the Phyrexians wont stop there. They will devour all worlds to achive their goal!

Alyona and Hermione know that they don't have much time so they quickly say their goodbyes to each other and prepare for what lies ahead. Hermione takes her rune, breaks it and says “ London England! And off she goes! Back to earth. Alyona takes the rune for Aldorius and prepares to break it. But before she does she says to Bogbrew “ Thank you may our paths cross again on a better note.” Bogbrew smiles at Alyona replying “In time young lady, in time. Farewell my new friend from earth!” Alyona then breaks her rune and is teleported to Aldorius. Alyona arrives in the Ziggurat, but it is silent inside. Fires are lit and nothing is going on. She looks out one of the windows to see that it is night time and figures everyone is asleep. She runs to the main doorway of the Ziggurat and calls upon one of the Centuar guards saying“Excuse me Cleoo? Is that you? I need you to wake up Katya, this is really important.” Cleoo recognizes Alyona and runs into the Ziggurat to find Katya. Moments later Katya comes down stairs from her room half asleep saying “ Alyona? What is it? Could this not wait until morning?” Alyona shakes her head no and answers Katya back “Katya, please listen to me. Alex was never here to save your world he was sent here to destroy it.” Katya is absolutely infuriated with what Alyona has just said! Screaming furiously at Alyona Katya yells “This is what you came here to tell me? Get the fuck out! Cleoo? Take this human out of her now! Get her the fuck out of my sight now!” Cleoo and two other Centaurs surround Alyona with their weapons drawn as they prepare to take her away. But Alyona pulls out her wand and pushes all three Centuars back away from her. Alyona then turns her wand towards Katya and says to her “Damn it Katya! Listen to me now! Let me finish!” Katya motions for the Centaurs to hold back and let Alyona speak. Alyona continues talking “Alex came here for a purpose. To destroy your world in the name of a man called Yawgmoth. He's the leader of these Phyrexians. Alex only sided with him because he wanted to bring his wife back from the grave. Yawgmoth made a deal with him. The first was to consume your world and then for Alex to give him the ring he always wanted the ring of Aladdin. But as Alex saw your face..... in his mind you resembled his wife and thus he changed his mind. This was why your world was sparred by him. You said he gave you a ring? The purple one you wear now? That's the ring Yawgmoth wants! But Yawgmoth doesn't know you have it. But once those Phyrexians come here they'll take your world and that ring too. They are coming here Katya and I;m here to warn you. I saw the old woman in the cottage on the mountain in Theros. She showed us what is being planned against your world through her cauldron.” Katya begins to cry and falls to the ground. She looks at the ring and says to Alyona “Alex told me he lost his wife and yes he has told me i do look like her. But... I never knew... I ... I never knew why he was here until now.” Just then an older man comes from one of the rooms saying “ why does my beautiful daughter cry.” Katya stands up and embraces her father crying over what she was just told by Alyona. Katya still sobbing tells her father “ Daddy? They're coming back! The Phyrexians are coming back!” Katyas father walks up to Cleoo the leader of the Centaur guard and says “I will now execute order 4561. I am relieving my daughter of her royal duties! prepare the armies immediately!.” Katya just stands there in shock not knowing what to think or do. This war will cost many lives as the first one has. Katyas father walks up to Alyona and says “ Alyona? Take my daughter from here please! Take her to your world immediately! She must be saved. She is the seed for our world take her and the ring and keep them safe. We will stay here and fight as long as we can. Better for my kingdom to fall than for my own daughter to be killed by these monsters!” Katyas father opens a portal back to Alex's house again saying “Please hurry take her with you now!” Alyona grabs Katyas hand and begins to pull her through the portal. Katya screaming back at her father “ DADDY! NO! I CAN'T LEAVE YOU HERE! LET ME GO ALYONA! I HAVE TO STAY AND FIGHT! LET ME GO! NOOOOO!” But it was too late Alyona pulls her through and the both are back in Chicago in Alex's house. Katya takes her hand and slaps Alyona right across the face screaming “ I FUCKING HATE YOU ALYONA! YOU TOOK ME FROM MY FAMILY! I WILL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN! THE PHYREXIANS ARE GOING TO KILL THEM ALL AND YOU KNOW IT! I FUCKING HATE YOU!” Alyona is obviously saddned too. This is not what she wanted, but she needs to fix what has just happened. As Katya cries in the room another voice can be heard. “ Uhh hello? Who's here?” Alyona walks out of the room and sees Lukas, the newphew of Alex. Lukas is only eleven years old and has been going to Strixhaven in the USA for the past five years. He's a child prodigy; the top of his class and the top of the youth group of Izzet in the entire city of Chicago. Alyona hugs Lukas and says “ How are ya little dude?” Lukas replies “ I'm ok. I'm here to feed my uncles cat and play some games on his computer. How is he doing? I havent heard from him since he left.” Alyona wasn't going to lie to Lukas but she didn't know what to tell him exactly. But she figured the truth is the best way. “Come inside the office Lukas I want to introduce you to someone.” Lukas enters the room and sees Katya. He laughs and says “ Who her? I know her! That's Katya from Aldoriuos! I've been there a few times with my uncle.” Katya immediately recognizes Lukas and with a big smile on her face runs to Lukas and hugs him.” Lukas is a bit worried. He sees that Katya is crying and the look on Alyonas face isn't exactly great, so, he asks “ What's going on?” Alyona takes a deep breath and replies “Lukas stay calm ok? Listen to me and don't freak out, promise me?” Lukas agrees even though he's a bit scared of what he might be told. Alyona tells Lukas “Alex is in prison back in London. He was falsely accused of stealing a Shadowspear. But I have a plan. We're goning to get him out and we're gonna go back to Aldorius and help Katya and her kingdom fight off the Phyrexians. I want you to go with us to London to get your uncle and help us in this war.” Lukas was calm but worried about his uncle he looks at Katya and says to them both “ Ok! But I need to get something from this room first.” Alyona and Katya look puzzled as to what Lukas is going to get. Lukas walks to the wall of the room and chants a magical word and the wall opens to uncover a very well concealed closet! He grabs something his uncle bought him, an Izzet power suit. It stores mana and electricity! So he can easily throw lightning bolts and shocks! “let me put this on and then we can get moving'” Lukas runs to the bathroom and changes into his power suit!”

Now Alyona has a problem, a huge one. She has only one rune and cannot duplicate it again. So this means she is unable to go to London through a portal. She makes the decision to keep her last rune and use it to go to Aldorius. She asks Lukas how far there are from his favorite hotel called “The Palmer House” Lukas replies “ Oh uhh it's about thirty minutes from here if we drive.” Alyona goes up to Katya and says “ Im sorry Katya. But I am going to make this right! Now stop crying! We have work to do! We're gonna go get Alex out and get our asses back to your world to help them fight this war!” Lukas says “Whoa! Whoa um why can't we just have Katya open a portal to her kingdom?” Katya replies “ I can't Lukas. I've been crying too much, when we cry too much it drains our mana. My magical abilities are worthless right no but I should be ok in a couple of hours. Alyona now has an even more difficult choice to make. Should they just go to the Palmer or break the last rune and head to London now. Alyona makes her choice and grabs Alex's car keys and takes everyone with her to the parking garage. Now this is the first time Katya has been to the earth realm. “Wow! What is this called again?” Katya asks as she sees a car for the first time in her life. Lukas answers “This is a car and we uses these to take us places.” Katya is amazed at this technology and wonders what it would be like to have one on her world. The drive to the hotel is quiet and not a word from any of the three are spoken. As they pull up to the Hotel a valet man opens the doors and takes the keys as he instantly recognizes the car and the young boy. “ Good Afternoon Lukas sir” The valet worker says. Lukas says hello back and they all head into the hotel. Taking the same card Alex had given her before she again shows it to the concierge. But this time they take her down stairs to the basement of the hotel. The concierge says to all three “ Have you been here before?” They all shake their heads no. “ahh” exclaims the concierge well let me explain this to you then “This is what we call the hallway of worlds. It is both magical and technological. On each side of this hallway are doors that will take you to anywhere you so wish. But do not open the door right away. You must type on the touch screen what city of the world you are going to and the door way will take you to the desired place. Good luck to you all” As the three walk down the hallway they first begin to see doors labeled by each country on earth, it's alphabetical too. After a few minuteds of walking they see the door that is needed the “United Kingdom.” Lukas walks up to the door and types in London on the touch screen. He opens the door and there it is! They see London right before their eyes and all three walk through. They get to London and all three immediately go to the Police station. But it's late at night and no one is at the front desk. So they begin to sneak around and try to find Alex. As they go through the hallway where the jail cells are , they see alex with a bunk buddy. Lukas can hardly believe his eyes. “ No way bro! This is so suspicious!” With his uncle he sees the famed evil wizard known as 'Witherbloom” he was imprisoned for 2,000 years for his crimes against the treefolk. Alyona takes out her wand and breaks the jail cell open. She tells Alex and Witherbloom of the impending attack on aldorious. They now all escape the jail with Witherbloom and Alex. They stop in the basketball courts of the prison and Alyona takes out her last rune and prepares to break it. Witherbloom says “Wait! I will turn myself into a dragon! Alyona climb aboard! Katya? I will summon you a Pegasus and Alex I will give you Angelic wings!

Now Hermione was already in Aldorian. She had brought help with her! The first group of people were Brian Meloni and a team of about twenty men armed with assualt rifles, grenades and rocket launchers! Brian's team were on the left side of the Kingdom walls fighting the Phyrexians. The second group of help was Alatsor Moody! He had brought with him Professor Snape, Sirius Black and Professor McGonagall! All four were on top of the wall with the Femeref Archers and the Ballista towers. They not only casted their spells from a distance at the Phyrexians, but helped the Archers and Towers by giving their arrow magical explosive tips. Hermione was with the third group.They were on the right side of the Kingdom walls. Fighting at her side was Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasly and Ron Weasly! Katyas father was in the center with his army of Centaurs, Dryads and other Humans as they fought in hand to hand combat against the Phyrexians. Surprising to them all, they were actually holding the Phyrexians off and doing a damn good job of it too! Slowly but surely the Phyrexian army began to deteriorate. This angered Tsabo Tavoc! She takes her staff and smashes it into the ground screaming “ ENOUGH!” Four other extremely powerful Phyrexians have now been summoned! The first is Atraxa it's an Angel Horror! Made of Green,white,Blue and black magic. This Angel serves as the voice to all Praetors. The second Phyrexian to be summoned is known as “Sheoldred, Whispering one. With a similar look to Tsabo, this praetor kills any with a single touch and is made entirely of black magic! The Third is the most hideous of them all! It is Elesh Norn! Made of White magic, this Phyrexian grants the rest of the Phyrexian army more stregnth while weakening everyone else.S Elesh is white with a blood red color to her body and a large face mask that come down nearly to its elbows. The fourth and final Phyrexian is the ultimate and classic Phyrexian beast known as the Phyrexian colossus! Standing at 16 meters in height this Phyrexian is as bad as they get. It is one of the oldest Phyrexian creations and is entirely automated. A Self aware robtic killing machine! Katyas father looks away from the fight for a moment to see these four Phyrexians coming there way. The Aven Air force of birds is swooping down on the Phyrexians and picking them up with their talons! They take to to a high altitude before dropping them back to the ground on top of the other Phyrexians. But Atraxa had seen this! The angel flies towards the flight group of Avens! The angels easily slays the birds one by one! Charlie and Archa fly in to help knowing that they are most likely to die in this battle against the Angel. The tables have now turned against Aldorious.....

The fighting is brutal! Magical projectiles, arrows, bullets and rockets are flying everywhere! Both sides are taking heavy losses. Katyas father calls for a retreat inside the Kingdom walls. Each group slowly begins to fall back from their position. And just during the first war something strange has just happened. Two bright flashes accompanied with two large bangs were seen and heard! It was as if the sky had shattered. Hermione looks up and screams for joy! “LOOK IT'S ALYONA ON A DRAGON! AND SHE HAS KATYA, ALEX AND A YOUNG BOY WITH HER!” Everyone on the Aldorious side begins to cheer! Alyona holding a Moonsilver Spear directs the dragon to bring it's firey breath upon the Phyrexian army! While Katya flying on a Pegasus is being escorted by Lukas in his lightning power suit. They both fly to pull her father from the fight and fly him to safety. Just then Katya screams to Alex saying “ ALEX?! THAT EVIL ANGEL IS GOING TO KILL CHARLE AND ARCHA! SAVE THEM!” Alex flying with a pair of angel wings sees Atraxas and turns arounf to confront the Angel. Atraxa pulls out two Shadowspears and thrusts them at Alex stabbing him in his side! Atraxa still has Alex on the tip of one of it's spears and slams Alex into the ground! Alex quickly takes the spear out and the Samite healers begin to cure his would instantly! Alex waves his right hand in a circular motion saying “Sword of war and peace!” A beautiful sword with two blades . One blade is engulfed in a holy fire while the other blade is glowing a bright yellow. Atraxa swings both of it's spears at Alex! Alex counters by swinging his sword at the spears themselves. Cutting right through them both. With his right elbow Alex hits Atraxa in the head knocking the angel down. As Atraxa was falling down Alex grabs one of its wings with his left hand, and with his right slices the wing he had held right off of the angels back. Atraxa falls to the ground but quickly gets back up and charges at Alex. Again Alex taking his left hand grabs the Angel by the throat! Quickly releasing his left hand, he immediately thrusts his sword in to the bottom of Atraxas chin. The sword coming out the top of the angels skull! Alex again grabs Atraxas head from the back and pulls the head right off the angel! Atraxas lifeles body flops like a dead fish.

The fighting continues with everyone else. Alyona still on the Dragon is flying high above the battleground as they continue their aerial assault on the phyrexians. Katya and Lukas then have successfully pulled her father to saftey and are now on the wall with Alastor as they watch the battle unfold and the rest fall back to the Castle walls. Alastor takes his group of Snape, Mcgonagall, and Sirius to try and fight Sheoldred! The four fight bravely against this Praetor! But it seems they are getting no where. Sheoldred is getting closer and closer to the Kingdom walls! Katyas father asks his daughter and Lukas to help gather more of the innocent lives inside the walls and get them underground to safety. Katyas father has asked both Katya and Luka to not participate in the fight at all. But Lukas is getting pissed! He sees the Hogwarts professors struggling to take on the Praetor. Things get worse as the Sheoldred now has a small army of it's own Phyrexians. It wont be long before Alastor and the rest die at the hands of Sheoldred. Lukas cocks his head and says to the King “ Sorry bro! But I gotta save these so called Professors! No watch as I show you the true power of Izzet magic!”

Lukas jumps off the Kingdom wall! His landing is buffered by his suit which sends out an electrical charge and helps soften his landing. Lukas screaming loudly charges into battle! Alastor and the rest turn around to see a little 11 year old boy charging in the fight. Snape yells “what the.. Get back little....” But it's too late! Lukas begins to hurl lightning bolts and starts shocking the Phyrexian army that is around Sheoldred. The metal monsters fall to the ground without exploding at all as if they have been deactivated. Lukas concentrating his lightning on Sheoldred throws the, relentlessly at the Praetor! But there's still several of the smaller Phyrexian body guards around the Praetor! Lukas yells out “ Experimental Overload!” The professors are amazed at what they see next. The electrical power that was used to give life to the Phyrexian army came to life in the form of walking humanoid electrical beings! Every step these things took the shocked the ground sending electrical waves through the battlefield killing the other phyrexians soldiers near by. Lukas jumps into the air using his powersuit and his right hand is engulfed in electrical power! Coming back down to the ground he punches the praetor right in the face! Ripping half of his face off. The Praetor falls to the ground and Lukas calls forth a lightning storm which obliterates Sheoldred! Lukas sounding a bit cocky turns to the Hogwarts professors saying “Not bad for an 11 year old boy that goes to Strixhaven huh?” Snape replies “Not bad? Not bad? Within a few years I wouldn't be surprised if you had an offer to teach your Izzet to the students of Hogwarts! Nice job little boy!”

Two of the four major Phyrexians that were summoned by Tsabo are dead, that leaves only two more. The Colossus and Elesh Norn. The Colossus is getting closer and closer to the wall! Each step it takes is making small earthquakes. Brian, Katyas father and Hermione’s teams have successful defeated all the the other Phyrexians and now the last two begin their assualt. Alyona riding on Witherbloom flies towards the Colossus. Witherbloom says to Alyona “ Jump off me! I will take on the Colossus!” Alyona jumps off and is caught by Charlie who was near by. Witherbloom lands in front of the Colossus about 61 meters in front of her. She turns back into her human form. The Phyrexian Colossus speaks loudly and almost with a deafening silence says “WITHERBLOOM! COME MEET YOUR DOOM!” Witherblooms sends dark magic bolts towards the Colossus but they seem to have no effect on it! She turns back into the Dragon and flies towards the Colossus. Preparing her fiery breath the Colossus prepare for this and grabs a huge chunk of rock from the ground. It lifts it up to cover its face as it uses the rock to protect from the dragons breath. Witherbloom sprays the fire as hard as she can. But the Colossus is blocking the fire from reach itself. Witherbloom breaths even harder! This time smashing the rock in to a million pieces. The Colossus grabs the dragon by the face and throws it into the Kingdom wall. The wall still stands although heavy damage has been made to it. The Colossus starts to step on Witherbloom saying “why do you fight for these weak people?! We are true power you foolish old woman!” Witherbloom replies “Your evil and your kind has no place anywhere and I'll die if it stops you all.” Withbloom sacrifices herself to destroy the Colossus.

Now only one more stands Elesh Norn! Katyas father charges in too fast with his army! Brian, Alastor and Hermione and their teams follow them right to Elesh Norrn. With one pass of Elesh Norns hands she kills many of the Aldorius army. Brian's team firing everything they have at Elesh, while Hermione , Harry, Ginny, Ron and Draco cast their spells with their wands at Elesh. But Elesh grabs Katyas father! She is going to kill him! Alyona being carried by Archa is dropped right on top of Elesh Norn! Using her Moonsilver spear she plunges the spear right through the middle of Elesh splitting Elesh in half! Katyas father is saved. Katya runs up to Alyona crying and asks the ones who are helping her kingdom “Why? Why do you all risk your lives for my kindgom and my father? Why?” Alyona answers Katya saying “because no one deserves their home to be destroyed by anyone or anything.”

Alex steps forward and points to Tsabo Tavoc and says “ Tsabo is the only thing standing in the way. I ask that none of you get involved with her in battle, now get behind me.” Alex summons Ornithiopter, Illusory Angels, Eradicator Valkyries and a Crypt angel to his side. While Tasbo summons more phyrexian soldiers! The angels clash with the Phyrexian machines while Tsabo and Alex fight alone. Tsabo having a sword in each of her hands is swinging hard and fast at alex yelling “ You fight for this thing called love? The honor of this Natalia? You idiot! You will be buried with the rest of these silly Aldorians!” The rest watch in horror as they can do nothing as this fight rages on. But Alyona remembered the scroll alex had given her during his release from prison. She opens the scroll and chants the words written. And the might sword known as the Godsend falls at her feet. She picks it up and runs towards Tsabo. Alyona crying and screaming she lunges at Tsabo. Alex see Alyona nad tries to catch her before she reaches Tsabo. “No Alyona!” Alex catches Alyona but not before she throws the Godsend sword at Tsabo. The sword pierces Tsabos chest! Every other Phyrexian begins to turn white! They get brighter and brighter before they exploded with holy power! The war is over. No more Phyrexians are present. The rest of the groups run to Alex and Alyona and surround them both. Alex quickly gets up on his feet. But Alyona is there sitting on the ground resting from all the fighting. Katya with tears in her eyes thanks everyone for being so brave that they are always more than welcome to return to aldorious or even become a citizen of this kingdom. As now the war is over every says their goodbyes and now prepares to go home through their portals.Alyona gets up and hugs Katya telling her “ I'm glad to have met you. I am sorry for everything. I hope we can still be friends.” Katya crying says “of course! You saved my us all! Thank you my new friend!” Alex Kisses katya on the cheek and gives her father a strong hand shake. Her father saying “Your.” past does not define you to us; your actions here do! Thank you Alex.” Alex and Alyona stand for a moment smiling at Katya and her father. Alyona turns and kisses Alex saying “ well let's go back home so we can see your concert Alex!"
