## Plot

Iris is writing in her diary again. She's been thinking about Ephedia a lot lately. Talia and Auriana talk about how wonderful it is. Not just the main realm the planet is named after, but also their home realms, and many others. Iris can't wait to see it and her parents with her own eyes. At the cafe, the girls are watching their first televised performance. It's just on local TV though. Iris's pendant glows, meaning that someone is in trouble. They find a huge asteroid about to crash not far from town. Iris and Talia destroy most of it, while Auriana handles the debris from the ground. They think it's over, but purple vine snake things come out of the rocks, which have purple crystals in them. The girls are tied up and gagged before they can transform. It's a trap. Praxina and Mephisto open a portal and send the girls to Gramorr, in Ephedia. He shatters their gems so they can't transform. What I want to know is why they didn't even try to transform *the second* their gags came off. Then again, Iris tried to attack Gramorr the moment she saw him, and he just tightened her restraints. He has no need for Talia or Auriana, so his guards take them away. He tells them to take them to Krozak. Talia and Auriana are saved by two girls, but they're taken prisoner by them again. Gramorr wants Iris to retrieve the crown for him. He tries to convince her by saying that he'll reunite her with her parents, and let her live out her life on Earth. She doesn't believe him, so he orders Praxina and Mephisto to destroy Earth. They summon a giant monster that starts trapping people in crystal. Iris is locked in a tower until she makes her decision. The twins have to deal with Amaru in pegasus form. Talia assumes that the two girls are bandits who want to ransom them off. She and Auriana break out, and everyone starts fighting. However, one of them recognizes Auriana as a princess. Iris meets a fellow prisoner in the tower, a thief named Lev. The two break out, but Iris wants to go back for the crown. He reluctantly agrees to help her, and it's clear that she likes him a lot. Seriously, did she ever blush this much around Nate? Despite the thievery and greed, I'd personally choose Lev at this point. At least he *has* a personality. The two girls introduce themselves as Lyna and Carissa. They were following orders from their leader. She's the leader of the resistance against Gramorr. It's Izira! To be continued…

## Review

This was such a good episode! The bad guys' plan worked flawlessly! I seriously doubt they'll keep their word about not destroying Earth though. It's so sweet to see Talia and Izira reunite after so long! Aw! Also, Lev is voiced by *Samuel Vincent!* I know I freak out over all the voice actors, but I really like him! He's so dreamy! And Chiara Zanni (Izira) has the voice of an angel. Not to mention that the main characters themselves are voiced by Kazumi Evans (Iris), Tabitha St. Germain (Auriana), and Ashleigh Ball (Talia). It was super weird at first to hear Kelly Sheridan (Praxina), a.k.a. my childhood Barbie, as a character that isn't Barbie, let alone an antagonist, but I think I've gotten used to it. I went through the same adjustment period when she voiced Starlight Glimmer in MLP:FiM.
