## Prologue

In Alola Region, we find a 17 year old girl attending to her regular duties flying on the back of her Light Fury dragon, Winter, the Alolan Sun Princess, Sarah Tomoe, checked over the forests on her home of Melemele Island making sure all of the wild Pokemon living in the forest were happy and healthy, which they were.

A year and five months following the defeat of Team Eclipse and the Guzzlord Horde, the Alola Region was finally at peace with Sarah Tomoe and her friend who had returned to Kanto, Ash Ketchum becoming the Champions of the Alola Region.

With her birth parents, King Doug and Queen Delilah, now returned to power and with her real grandparents, King David and Queen Donna, Sarah has been working on her dream of becoming an ambassador to other regions to make harmony between Pokemon and people. Already, she had been in contact with the Champions of Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Galar (Steven Stone, Cynthia, Aldar and Alain) who agreed to help her keep the peace between Pokemon and Humans.

Now it was early  in Alola and Sarah was entering the Pokemon Dragon Heart Dome with Marena, Queen Athi and King Blizzards’ advisor, now hers where her family perked up at the sight of the ladies.

“Auntie Sarah! Auntie Sarah!” The Night Light trio; Dart, Pouncer and Ruffruner cheered seeing their auntie as they fluttered over to her.

“What are we going to do now?”

“Well Marena, already has that idea for us.” Sarah replied before turning to Marena.

Marena nodded, “Indeed. Stormcloud senses somethings’ wrong in Xadia, thanks to her sister Zubeia.”

“Sister? Zubiea?” Mai echoed confused as she scurried over to the group. “Whose that?”

“She’s the current Queen of the Dragon in Xadia, where your Shadowpaw, Moon Phoenix, Pyrrahi and Avel hail from. It’s a continent that lays beyond Dragonstone to the east.” explained Marena.

“Really?” Cobalt blinked in surprise. “It’s that close.”

Marena nodded, “So that explains how you guys got here.” Tyson realized turning to Aku, Sunce, Callisto, Pyrrah and Avel. "I was wondering that for a while now."

"Me too." Sarah agreed.

“You guyssss must have been on that continent and left it.” Medusa put in.

The small group nodded in confirmation and Sarah was surprised at this. She didn’t guess that another continent laid beyond Pantala, Dragonstone Island and Pyrrhia in the Archipelago.

“And it explains where Discord got Starla from.” Mudsdale reminded everyone as the little Cuddlemonkey happily cheered at the sound of going home as she scrambled over to Sarah and leaped onto her right shoulder with a big grin plastered on her face.

“It’s been hidden thanks to the Spirits powers and Rajhu’s been keeping watch but things are still a bit uneasy there and and Zubeia says there’s a huge threat approaching..”

Sarah nodded, her mind already made up hearing the Queen of Dragons might be injured or hurt. She was the Princess of Dragons wherever she went even if it was into new land or the land of her friends. “Alright, we’ll go right away. I’ll go tell my Mom and Dad about it.”

“I already did and they agreed to let you go with some precautions.” Marena stated.

“Which means us.”

Sarah and her family turned and saw Race and Tsukumaro with their Pokemon, Thunder, Wu and Wei and Feathers smiling blissfully. “Hello Island Girl.”

“Of course you two would follow me wherever I went.” Sarah said with a teasing smile at her boyfriend and godfather.

“Why wouldn’t we? You have your father and Tsukumaros’ knack for finding trouble.” Race said returned the same look at his girlfriend.

Tsukumaro gave a pouting grumble at that with a small eye roll. “I must admit I am curious myself seeing the realm where your Young Aku, Starla, Sunce, Avel, Callisto and Pyrrah came from.”

“So which Mythicals can I take, Marena?” Sarah asked the advisor. “I’m guessing this realm has Mythical Creatures but not all of the same ones?”

“Correct, They do have Dragons and Cuddelmonkeys, Moon Phoenixes, Shadowpaws and Twin-Tailed Inferno Tooth Tigers, but they continent used to have Unicorns before they were all hunted to extinction there….except for one.”

The sound of clip-clop hooves came from nearby and slowly out of the shadows came a Xadian Unicorn. She was the same height as Celestia and Roseluck but her fur coat was silvery white like the stars and her horn was long, slim and twisted, not straight and certainly not golden either. It was more of a plum purple if Sarah had to guess right.

“Hello there…” the unicorn greeted.

“Oooh…” Celestia and Roseluck cooed as they trotted over to their Xadian counterpart and looked over her with awe.

“Hehe, I see you two haven’t seen a Unicorn like me before.” she chuckled.

“Nope.” Celestia and Roseluck shook their heads. “There were more unicorns but they were all white like us with white horns. Not silvery like the stars with twisted horns.”

“That’s was Xadian Unicorns were like.” the unicorn nodded solemnly. “My name is Leola. We Unicorns were known as the most selfless beings of Xadia, compassionate enough to pity the state of the humans inside Elarion when they faced starvation and poverty. We believed that humans did not deserve to suffer, as they had not chosen to be born without magic. Although the elves warned them that their kindness may not be reciprocated, the unicorns could not ignore their compassion that ran deeply, refusing to be convinced that humans could be dangerous. In order to help the suffering humans, I bestowed them with the knowledge of magic and gifted a few wise humans with powerful orbs called Primal Stones, which contained magical energy. Leola also taught them Ancient Draconic, the language of the dragons, and the runes necessary to release the stones' magic, which would allow them to cast spells.” Leola’s face turned very grim before she lowered her ears and her head in dismay and remorse. “However, my actions eventually lead to their demise.”

“Let me guess.” Eterantus began as he floated over. “Greedy humans wanted more, more, more.”

Leola nodded grimly, “Selfish dark mages tried to hunt their kind to better understand their powerful magic. Although their stellar magic and their devious cunning made them almost impossible to hunt, dark mages eventually hunted the unicorns until they became extinct, seeking their horns as a component for their spells leaving me as the only one left thanks to Marena and Rajhu whom took me to safety.”

Sarah snorted in disgust at the greed and selfishness of humans still being a thing. Even on other continents, creatures still suffered because of those negative emotions. And Leola was now the last of her kind because of them.”

“Ugh, the same old story, unfortunately.” Silvally snarled lightly.

Sarah nodded, “Hmph, still a shame there are those whom are still proud of being so selfish and greedy.” Race frowned, crossing his arms.

“Indeed.” Tsukumaro agreed with the same frown on his face which was etched with evident disgust and slight anger.

Celestia and Roseluck nuzzled Leola. “Sarah won’t let anyone hurt you Leola. She’s had us here for months and protected us with love and friendship!” Celestia acknowledged.

“Yeah. If someones tries to hurt you, they’ll be very sorry.” Roseluck added.

Leola looked at her counterparts with a hopefully smiled.

## Nightmares & Revalations

Soon, riding on Stormcloud, Varkouna and Tuliza, the family soon arrived in Xadia which was a beautiful landscape and continent. “This place is so beautiful, Marena.” Sarah breathed looking down at the towering mountains piercing the skies and the giant trees sprouting up from the ground.

**“Amazing!”**

**“So cool!”**

**“You and Pyrrah lived here, Aku!”**

**“Sweet home Sunce!”**

**“Amazing, Callisto. This place suits you.”** Danny, Danielle, Musdale, Duke and Suicune praised.

“It is a land rich in magic. Everything in Xadia bears a connection to one of the six Primal Sources, every creature, plant, tree, even the earth itself. The most intelligent of the magical creatures, the elves and the dragons, rule over the harmonious races of Xadia. Each elven race has their own territory inside Xadia.” Marena explained. "And here, your dragons and pokemon can talk normally like the Jungle Guard too."

**"Really?"** Dusk gasped before gasping at himself as he was talking like Tai Lung and the Jungle Guard and the Young Jungle Pokemon. **"Cool!"**

**“We’re the most intelligent creatures here.”** Hydro grinned liking the sound of that. **“Finally a place that knows of our intelligence.”**

**“Hydro! What about Hiccup and Zenna!”** Hurricane chastised.

**“Yeah, yeah and Fishlegs and the others too. I like this place much better already.”** Hydro defended.

“So what’s this threat Zuebia spoke of?” Sarah asked Stormcloud.

**“His name is Aaravos. And, yes. He was a star. A Startouch Elf. One of the Great Ones, respected and loved by all, until we uncovered long-hidden treachery. Luna Tenebris, the former Dragon Queen, is shown lying on a rock surrounded by her dragon subjects. Hundreds of years ago, before Avizandum was King of the Dragons, the Dragon Queen, Luna Tenebris, mysteriously died. The moon turns blood red and Luna Tenebris vanishes. The other Archdragons of Xadia, Rex Igneous, Domina Profundis, and Avizandum are shown.  Luna lacked a suitable heir and the other dragons fought bitterly over who should ascend in her place. As the conflict swirled and escalated towards inevitable violence... the great leader of the Sunfire Elves, Queen Aditi, stepped in to broker peace.”** began Stormcloud, explaining the threat to Xadia now.

“Queen Aditi is shown overlooking a range of mountains with dragons flying above. The gem on her crown flashes and the scene changes to the three Archdragons, joined by Zubeia, surrounding Queen Aditi. The Archdragons trusted this wise and kind leader, and agreed to abide by whatsoever she decided. Queen Aditi rises her staff and activates her magic to pass her judgement while the Archdragons eagerly await the results. But before she could bring peace to the world...Queen Aidit went missing! Chaos and confusion erupted, and war threatened to tear Xadia apart. As now the elves suspected the dragons had killed their queen. But truth...came from an unexpected source. A young human girl discovered a great secret of history. A dangerous deceiver was revealed: It was one of the Great Ones...the Startouch elf: Aaravos! For a thousand years, Aaravos had been pulling invisible strings like a puppet master. Every great crisis the world faced, seemed the work of some ingenious and powerful leader. But in each case, it was secretly Aaravos...whispering in their ear.” put in Marena with a grim expression.

**“Yikes!”**

**“Sounds like a master manipulator!”**

**“Freaky.”**

**“Yep.”** Wooloo, Yamper, Scorch and Cinderace winced hearing that.

**“They kept listening to him because he was able to give them something they wanted very badly. Aaravos targeted people with strong minds and strong hearts but whom had a great fasnications with magic and wanted to learn the great mysteries of the universe. To stop him Zubeia and her husband allied themselves with the other Archdragons. They could not let on that they knew of his crimes. They had to decieve and plot against the deciver so at the exact moment he would let his guard down and they could imprison him in a magical prison meant to hold him for eternity. And now someone is trying to free him from his prison. Part of its power is that no one knows where it is. Each of the Archdragons held a piece of the puzzle but not one had the full picture.”** Stormcloud continued. **“Zubeia wants our help to stop him from being released.”**

“You got it!” Mai grinned. “We’re ready to help.”

“Good.” Stormcloud nodded before they were approaching the camp where Marena’s old friends Janai and Amaya were.

Down below they saw two people riding a Shadowpaw just like Aku, “Who are they?” Tigamar asked.

“They are Rayla and Callum. Callum is Amaya’s nephew along with his brother Erzan.” Marena explained as the group came in for a landing. Dogs barked of course at the approaching dragons before Stormcloud landed on the ground as Vakourna and Tuliza hovered above the ground.

“Marena!” Gren laughed as he appeared into view.

Marena dismounted Stormcloud along with the others. “Hey Gren.”

“Wow, another Storm Dragon just like Zubeia.” Callum breathed in awe.

“Didn’t expect that. Or the other….creatures.” Rayla quipped.

Rayla was a Moonshadow Elf with her white hair tied back into a bun at the back of her head, while a braid is wrapped around her scalp. Two large strands of hair framed her face and parted at the center of her forehead. Her clothing was a short-sleeved, purple shirt with a turtleneck that tops a dark purple centerpiece decorated with white lines. A dark, hooded coat hangs from her shoulders occasionally and is held together by a Moon pin. Her lower arms were covered with tight, blue bracers, while her feet are protected by brown boots and white bandages. Her long pants are colored in a light blue. Additionally, brown belts wrap around her waist, chest, and right leg, the latter securing a leather pouch in place.

Callum's hairstyle was brushed to the left side of his head in a messier fashion. His attire was fingerless gloves, a red scarf, a tightly-fit, turtlenecked chest piece that separates into two sections at the front around the level of his hips, and is colored in a mix of blue, red, brown, and golden seams. The blue part of this chest piece sports a pattern in a slightly lighter hue. A brown belt with a golden buckle holds a sachet on its right side, as well as Callum's spellbook. His black sleeves fully covered his arms and were equipped with shoulder pads, as well as two golden bracelets around each wrist. He also wore a pair of high brown boots over black pants.

“Who are your new friends?” Gren asked gesturing to Sarah, Race, Tsukumaro and their antrose. “Not to menton her Western Dragons…”

Drogon, Zephyr, Vhagar, Sunfyre, Viserion, Syrax, Summer and Sheena just blinked at him curiously.

“This is Sarah Tomoe, Race Konami and Tsukumaro Wong. The creatures behind them are their Pokemon and their own dragons.” Marena replied as Feathers gently chirped and waddled forth.

“Awww, aren’t you a cute one.” Rayla cooed. Starla, Rayla’s Cuddlemonkey, chirped at Feathers and the Featherhide nuzzled her.

“Pyrrah! Wait? You’ve been with Sarah and her friends this whole time?” Calluma asked the Fire Dragon whom nodded before Avel appeared bounding around Callum and Rayla.

“Another baby Storm Dragon!” Rayla gawked.

“His name is Avel. We found him with Pyrrah when we first met.” Sarah grinned rubbing the baby Storm Dragon on his head. “We’re here cause Stormcloud says Zubeia needs our help with a certain Fallen Star.”

Rayla and Callum looked at each other and nodded.

“Amaya would have come to meet you personally, but she’s a little busy. I’ll take you to her.” Gren offered and lead the group through the camp while the larger pokemon remained on the outskirts given they didn’t want to wreck anything by accident.

“So humans and elves living together in the same camp. Peaceful Utopia?” Rayla asked Gren whom sheepishly laughed while trying to seem confident at the same time.

“Well….No..” Gren stated as they stopped for a moment, “And yes…it hasn’t been easy, but I think the dust has settled. Mostly… and I’m sure you’ve heard the news.”

Rayla and Callum looked at him confused and Bait, a Glow Toad, bellowed gently equally confused, “News? No, we haven't heard any news. Is there news?” Callum questioned.

Umbreon’s hearing suddenly picked up something nearby as he turned and noticed a tiny figure hiding behind one of the camp tents, **“Hmm?”**

**“Daddy? What is it?”** Glaceon asked her father before the Moonlight Pokemon walked off towards the hiding figure.

“Hmm?” Sarah hummed before she turned Rayla and the others, “You guys to see your Aunt Amaya, I’ll follow Umbreon and Glaceon.”

“Okay Sarah.” Mai nodded before she and the others went with Commander Gren while Sarah followed Glaceon and Umbreon.

The figure was squeaking shyly as they got closer and hid inside of an empty tent but Umbreon gently went inside to find her.

Sarah and Glaceon entered the tent, “It’s okay, Umbreon is nice. He won’t hurt you.” Sarah gently ushered.

“.....Are you sure?” a shy voice came.

“Yes I’m sure. Come on out…” Sarah gently encouraged.

Some rustling was heard before another elf came out of her hiding spot, underneath of a bed. She was a very unique looking elf with her soft skin almost pure white but is really light tan, White markings rested below her eyes while darker marks on her shoulders and one on her nose

Her pure white hair was long with the back being in a ponytail while the front has some bangs hanging from. Her horns are brown with golden rings on each of them. She wore a small white rose in her hair as well.

She had greenish blue eyes and she wore a robe over her teal and black tunic and pants (covering her shoulder markings). The design on the back of it is the constellation in the shape of Zubeia and Avizandum. She had two Moon Opal earrings in her ears and a small tiara she made herself with Quasar Diamonds. Around her right shoulder she wore a satchel and around her waist was a small satchel pouch for storage. A small silver-black bracelet with Sky Sapphires, Fire Rubies, Stoneheart Emeralds and Aquamarines rested on her left wrist.

“Wow….” Sarah grinned in awe.

“Well she’s different. That’s for sure.” Glaceon commented.

“H-Hi there…” the elf greeted shyly rubbing the bracelet on her wrist. “W-Who are you?”

“I’m Sarah Tomoe, and this is Glaceon and Umbreon.” Sarah introduced. “What’s your name?”

“I-It’s…..Edea.” Edea replied. “W-What are you doing here?”

“To help a friend of Marenas’.” Sarah responded with a gentle smile.

Edea shyly nodded before she slightly turned away, “Um….it’s nice to meet you.” she grinned back at Sarah, Umbreon and Glaceon.

“So…do you wanna come out with us? And meet our other friends?” Sarah offered.

Edea looked at her and nodded shyly. Sarah, Umbreon and Glaceon lead the group to the tent where the Eeveelution team was resting outside with others of Sarah's family. Edea breathed in awe all of the different dragons around them right now. Shadow and Winter gently approached Edea cooing softly to not scare her while the Night Light Younglings scampered around her legs and she grinned and happily laughed before Dart leaped into her arms and she grinned.

"Hi there little fellas." Edea cooed cheerfully.

Sarah, Umbreon and Glaceon smiled, seeing Edeaquickly growing comfortable around Shadow and the others. It was clear she obviously loved animals, especially dragons.

The small group headed inside where they saw Callum and Rayla in front of Janai and Amaya and Rayla sighed before she said, "Viren's alive and he and Claudia are trying to released the most dangerous being in all of Xadia. A Startouch Elf named Aaravos."

Callum looked between the women for a minutes, Yeah, I mean that's a good summary of it." he said thinking his version of the story was way better.

"....Wait...did you say a Startouch Elf" Janai asked.

"Yes. Aaravos, the Fallen Star." Rayla confirmed. "Claudia and Viren have a map to the exact location to his prison. We don't. They could release him at any moment." At that point, Callum walked to her side.

"That's why we came here." Callum began as Janai got up and walked in between the two for a few feet. "We need to go to the Great Bookery of Lux Aurea to find the Scroll of the First Elves."

"No. Lux Aurea has fallen." Janai stated before turning to the pair. "As queen of of the Sunfire Elves. I forbid you."

"What do you mean you 'forbid' us?" Rayla asked incredulously. "Do you want us to wait here and pick out flowers until an angry Startouch Elf knocks on your door?" Rayla crossed her arms while Callum winced at her tone and she wasn't the only one given Kazi, the official Interpreter for the Sunfire Queen, was currently covering her mouth in shock and flight fear.

Janaji just sighed and glared at Rayla before Callum sheepishly laughed and gently came to Rayla's side, "Uh, Uh, Queen Janai, w-what Rayla means is...." Callum sighed and hug his head before he looked back up. "We don't have alot of time. And the Bookery might have something in it to give us a fighting chance." Callum looked at Rayla whom was still glaring. "It's the only lead we've got." Callum turned back to Janai.

Sarah noticed Amaya looked a little grim herself despite her steely expression.

"A year ago, we tried to reclaim Lux Aurea, but the dark mages corruption was worse than we realized." Janai continued as she turned and walked a few more steps while the room listened. "It is like a plague. Dark magic infests the city. What life remains has been twisted into monstrosities. We lost so many lives."

Sarah and her family looked at each other grimly at that. It unfortunately reminded them to Lothor's own Dark Arts Magic but Sarah's White Arts magic was able to overcome it.

"We know that its dangerous." Callum understood. "But we don't have a choice. The threat may seem invisible now but Aaravos could come back at any moment." Callum and Rayla looked at Amaya, "We have to be ready to fight together just like before."

"You don't get it do you?" Janai questioned incredulously as she raised a hand to her head, "We had to kill the infected. Our own people. It was a nightmare. Lux Aurea is forbidden ground. My decision stands."

"Uh...w-wait, your highness..." Sarah spoke out wanting to help Callum and Rayla. Janai turned to the young Princess. "Uh...I-I'm Sarah Tomoe, a friend of Marenas'. And um....may I can help....purify you lost home..."

Now everyone sans her family looked at her as if she had grown three heads, "And how could you possibly reverse the dark mages' infectious plague?" Janai asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well I could create a spell or use my other types of magic?" Sarah answered with a sheepish smile. Amaya signed and Gren translated, "What do you mean my other types of magic?"

Sarah took a deep breath and explained how it all began on her side of the world; from her Uncle turning evil and trying to sell her to have killed to the war against her Uncle and how it ended with Sarah ending Lothor once and for all and combating his Dark Arts Magic with her own White Arts magic, becoming half Angel in the process. She also added about ending the 300 year war against Dragonkind in the Archipelago and becoming the Dragon Princess alongside her Light Fury and Night Fury - Winter and Shadow.

When she was finished, everyone looked at her with a mix of, shock, surprise and impressed expressions but that was only Amaya's face, so to speak.

"I can't believe you went through all that." Callum stated breaking the silence.

Sarah nodded with a sigh, "Yes.....killing my own Uncle was....not what I wanted but everything in my home is peaceful now because of it. I have my real family and adoptive family together and I'm ruling over the Archipelago now with the Red Death Queen tyrant gone."

Edea looked at Sarah with a small sparkle of awe and hope in her eyes before she looked down at her own hands as if she was wondering about her own powers which Umbreon and Sylveon picked up on. "Or that you took in so many pokemon with not so nice histories." Rayla added. "Especially the Synthetic one that killed 25 people."

"Must you pick at that specific scab." Silvally pouted alongside Tou-Tou. Race gently rubbed Silvally's younger brother and gave him a comforting smile.

"I can hear you, elf pipsqueak." Eternatus remarked from outside.

"Pipsqueak!" Rayla snarled but Callum blocked her way.

"Don't mind my Grumpy Eternatus. He calls everyone pipsqueak and he calls me 'My Pipsqueak'." Sarah dismissed.

"And that's better how?" Gren translated for Amaya's sign.

"At first he didn't want anything to do with my last year but after much patience and kindness, he accepted me calling me 'my pipsqueak' as a result." Sarah grinned. "I know not all of my pokemon have had the happiest pasts' but I accept them and we became a family; stronger together and facing challenges together no matter how hard they may seem and its help me grow into the Princess that I am today because of them. My magics' strength comes from my Love, Friendship, Trust and Faith in all of them, and yes its' sappy-"

"Very sappy." Silvally interrupted but Sarah continued.

"But its proven to be the strongest magic. I used that to defeat my Uncle and his Dark Arts Magic, let me prove it by cleansing your home for you." Sarah stated sincerely.

Janai looked at her, seeing the same determined spirit she had when it came to purifying her Kingdom. "Sarah is much more powerful than what she appears to be Janai." Marena supported. "Sol and the Spirits of Harmony have accepted her as Athi and Blizzards successions along with her dragons as you know the spell Athi and Blizzard used to make them right?"

"About being only able to see for those with pure hearts." Janai recalled with a nod.

Marena nodded, "And that's not all..." Marena turned to Sarah whom took out the Dragon Heart Scepter to Janai and Rayla's surprise.

"The Dragon Heart Scepter..?" Rayla breathed in awe.

"Uh, what?" Callum asked and Bait gave a confused growl.

"The most powerful weapon Athi and Blizzard created after Sol and the Spirits of Harmony. Enchanted to destroy those whom are not pure of heart whom attempt to wield it and its power." Janai explained in awe at the weapon. "it's legendary in Xadia. And...." Janai took a look at the Animus Gems in place of it.

"The Animus Gems are back in place. But they were rumored to be lost forever." Kazi gasped.

"Athi and Blizzard showed me the history of their Kingdom and how its own Darkness with Animus Magic ended in their fall and the consequences that followed. I promised them I wouldn't let it happen again and I'm keeping it." Sarah claimed holding the Scepter and caressing it with great care and wisdom. "I help others wherever I go and with whatever they need, no matter how incredible dangerous or how many people or pokemon tell me I'm crazy for doing so."

"Which is alot." Sivally chastised again.

"But I still go and fight for others and to help others achieve peace and harmony." continued Sarah again, ignoring him. "Let me show you that I can do it for you...."

Janai looked at Sarah for a moment before she smiled and her, "You have the same spirit as Marena and I've learned there's no stopping her when she has her mind set on something. If you insist on going to Lux Aurea at least take Amaya with you. I will feel safer knowing she's with you."

Amaya smiled at Janai and nodded in agreement. "Okay Your Highness..."

Of course, Sarah's whole family wanted to go with her and her new friends to Lux Aurea, especially hearing how it became corrupted with Dark Magic in the first place. So with some horses and the tamed Shadowpaw ready to go, the group got ready with Kazi riding with Gren with some books in her hand which she put in the saddlebag, "You're bringing books?" Callum asked. "You do know we're going to a library right?"

"I borrowed these two years ago." Kazi admitted sheepishly. "They're terribly overdue."

Sarah, Race and Tsukumaro looked at each other with incredulous looks but they didn't say anythin as they got onto Celestia, Roseluck and Aku for the trip.

The smaller pokemon and dragons were riding Stormcloud once more. Janai gave Amaya a Sunfire Sword and she attached a Crimson Orchid onto it, telling her even though she couldn't physically be there - since if her visions of Aaravos were real then her people would look to her for strength and protection - then she would be there with her in spirit. Amaya nodded and hugged her wife to be before she got onto her horse. "Be safe with each other." Janai wished and the group nodded before they all set off to Lux Aurea.

## The Great Bookery

It took about a day to reach the city and it was early afternoon by the time they arrived and were currently walking down the path to the Great Bookery. The citys' buildings were mostly intact with the citys' roof tops are made of gold, while their house walls include shades of white, cream, blue, gray, and black. Before Green bushes, patches of grass, and even trees decorated the city streets but now nothing was decorated. Everything was very slowly being taken over by nature and there were no trees because of the corruption Sunforge. That was evident since there was a looming, ominous red cloud over where the Sunforge was.

"Another monstrosity of Dark Magic." Tsukumaro quietly spat in disgust at the dark clouds.

"Unfortunately." agreed Marena.

**"Yikes."** winced Luna

**"That's....pretty bad."** commented Cinderace.

**"No dip."** huffed Scorch.

**"Good thing the Legendary Tree was a seed when Lothor attacked or else who knows what he would have corrupted it into."** breathed Hydregion.

**"That's for sure."** put in Draco.

**"Not to mention the Sun Sword and Moon Shield."** added Snowflake.

"Its' peaceful..." said Callum. "Super creepy but a bit spooky, might even say eerie." He looked at his Aunt Amaya. "But peaceful."

**"That bad kind of peaceful."** Duke grumbled.

Amaya began to sign and Gren translated for the group, "The city is full of hidden danger. The corruption of the Sun Orb infected innocent creatures and changed them."

Edea gasped, horrified hearing that innocent creatures suffered because of the dark magic caused by Aaravos, "Oh no..." she quietly said.

"Of course, that must have been what attacked us that night. A Corrupted Banther." Rayla realized. "It was horrible."

"Janai wanted so badly to cleanse Lux Aurea, but we failed." Gren continued as Amaya signed again, "The Shadow Monsters are dangerous killers, but worse, even a single scratch would spread the corruption to elves, humans, horses...the infected became corrupted shadows within a few days."

Both Starla's (Sarah and Rayla's) chirped with worry while Tou-Tou yelped with fear and saddled closer to his older brother.

"The Shadowbeasts hide in during the day to avoid the sun. We have five hours before sundown. Five hours to complete our mission." Gren finished for Amaya.

The group arrived at a large building and Kazi got off of Gren's horse. "This is it...the Great Bookery of Lux Aurea."

Not wanting any of her family outside if nightfall did come, Sarah wanted all of them to come inside with her, much to the relief of Mai whom scurried inside as soon as Amaya opened the door to the library. The grand interior held a large reading area on the bottom floor with a book drop in the middle while having the first and second floors filled with different types of books.

"Twilight would freak seeing all of this." Sarah chuckled to herself.

Edea gasped in awe at the many different kinds of books. As if she haven't seen any books before in her life. Edea immediately floated over to the second floor of the room in a happy, gleeful daze to which some of the younger pokemon chuckled but Sarah, Race and Tsukumaro followed the little elf upstairs as Callum and Kazi followed them.

Edea went to the first isle of books before she began scanning for books, "So anything you're particularly interested in?" Sarah asked Edea.

Edea suddenly tense a bit before she retracted her hand and stammered, "U-Uh....m-maybe....it's....kinda personal."

"You can tell us, Edea. If you don't want to tell Callum and the others we understand." Sarah stated.

Edea looked at Sarah, Race and Tsukumaro whom gave her comforting and trusting smiles at the elf.

Edea sighed before she sat down at a small table and cupped her hands on her legs, "...I was born to my mother, Viserra, but she never told me whom my father was. For good reason..."

"What good reason?" Race asked gently.

"Well...I'm sure you noticed my different markings and such." Edea gestured to her robe and skin to which the trio nodded, "It's because....I'm a Elf Hybrid. A Moonshadow and...Startouch Elf hybrid." Edea admitted to the group's surprise as their mouths opened aghast and shocked. From what Marena told them of Startouch Elves - very little was known about them but what she did know was that they were literally beings from the heavens and very little evidence of their existence was found at all either.

"My mother raised me outside of the Moonshadow Forest because if she knew others knew about my Startouch Elf side, they would come after me because of my great power or...rumoured power Startouch Elves are said to have. She raised me in a spot that was crawling with dragons and I loved every minute of it. But then when I was 6 months old Avizandum and Zubeia came across was and they saw right away of my parentage but they themselves never really said whom my father was anyway." continued Edea. "When they told the other Archdragons including Sol Regem, Rex Igneous and Domina Profundis. Sol Regem and Rex Igneous were furious at me for some reason and wanted to have me killed on the spot, but Domina, Zubeia and Avizandum all protested and said that I needed training. They agreed very reluctantly still not liking me for some reason. For the next 15 years of my life, I learned magic from my mother, Zubeia and Avizandum. Learning different elf cultures, customs of each side of my pareentage and their powers. Under Zubia and Avizandum's guidance, I became a mage of the Moon Primal and Star Primal but I also began showing signs of being able to manipulate the other Primal Sources as she got older, surprising all of the Archdragons. Eventually, I learned the spells to all of them but...."

Edea's face turned sad and glum, "I was repeatedly told to stay hidden with this power, not showing them to anyone, knowing the consequences if anyone found out telling me it was the only way to stay safe. I'd taken on small secret missions by Zubeia to protect creatures such as taking down Hunters and poachers in Scumport (aka Bright Walk Cove) to increase my fighting skills along with having me train again some other dragons whom became my close friends."

"That's why you were so happy to see Shadow and the others. Even though they weren't you run of the mill Xadian Dragons." Tsukumaro smiled.

Edea nodded and continued, "When Avizandum was killed by Harrow in revenge for killing his wife a few years ago, Zubeia, myself, and my mother were deeply sadden and Zubeia went into a grief induced slumber. However, I always wondered if there was a way to reverse the spell on Avizandum and I began working on that in secret."

Edea took out a book from her satchel and handed it to Sarah. She opened it and she saw there were notes on the spell used the turn Avizandum to stone. It was called ***Ultimate Weapon of Vengeance*** - *"Etah fo nopaew a htiw efil niard ot, ssol dna evol fo tonk delgnat a tsiwt."* (**Translation:** "Twist a tangled knot of love and loss, to drain life with a weapon of hate.)": This ancient spell creates a weapon capable of ending the life of a specific being by turning it into stone. The spell requires the horn of a unicorn, the last breath of a victim killed by the target, and the blood of someone who loved the victim.

"Oh my god..." Sarah breathed in horror at such a spell, seeing why Edea was studying how to reverse it.

"When Callum and the others returned the Dragon Prince to his mother two years ago, I was hiding away but I was happy and my mom was happy too seeing Zubeia awaken from her grief induced slumber." Edea began to conclude, "But now...." Edea looked at her hands, "I want....to know who I really am. I know my magic is a part of me but..."

"You want to know the other side of your parentage?" Race guessed and Edea nodded.

"We understand and we want to help you too, Edea." Sarah stated gently putting a hand on her right shoulder. Edea grinned up at Sarah and nodded sincerely at her.

"So.....if those Shadowbeasts, do come in here..." Edea said, changing the subject, "How do you plan on beating them and purifying all of Lux Aurea?"

Sarah chuckled before she dug into her secondary satchel and pulled out the Crystal Heart - the magical artifact from Equestrias' Crystal Empire. "Wow....." Edea gasped at the sparkling aquamarine heart. "What is that? I've never saw an artifact like that."

"It's called the Crystal Heart. It's a magical artifact powered by love, able to defeat darkness and corrupted shadows. It's done it times before and perhaps it can do it again." Sarah said, having hopes the Crystal Heart would be the perfect artifact to purify Lux Aurea for Queen Janai.

Edea nodded and looked at the tree, "Do you three...wanna learn more about the Xadian Magic?"

Sarah and Race nodded and Edea sheepishly smiled before they went to her favorite section in the library. "This section is where Mom got most of the books for my training."

Edea took out two books from her satchel about the Primal Sources and Magic Gems in Xadia. Sarah took the Primal Sources Book while Race took the Magic Gems.

Sarah's book read, "*- Sun Magic is associated with energy, teaching, truth, fury, warmth, honesty, intensity, charisma, leadership, optimism, revealing, and guiding light.*

*Sun magic has a dual nature: it can conjure spells of light, growth, nurturing, and transformation, or it can call upon fire, heat, and destruction. Sun mages can learn to master light and fire through strength of will, and some of the most powerful can use the light to heal and purify, or banish sickness and decay. They project a very positive energy overall and believe it is their mission to bring more light and hope into the world. Mages with strong control over their emotions can call upon sun magic to illuminate the truth, heal sickness, and even purge dark magic corruption. However, they must maintain diligent control of their emotions and impulses*

*- Moon Magic deals in creating illusions, concealment spells, and connections with spirits and the veil between life and death. The Moon is associated with illusion, manipulation, love, death, charm, reflection, privacy, appearances, depth, duality, and secrets.*

*Some moon mages are illusionists, using their powers to befuddle and confuse their enemies' senses. Simple illusion spells can fool the eyes and ears, but more powerful illusions can mimic even taste or touch. Moon mages can also conjure flickers of the past or put restless spirits to rest. Moon mages understand that all shadows are born of light, and to reach for light is to cast a shadow*

*- Sky Magic is associated with lightness, quickness, agility, cleverness, vision, potential, freedom, perspective, and clarity of vision*

*While  sky mages can summon wind, lightning, ice, or shrouding fog, their power is not limited to the weather. It also includes magic that helps one breathe at high altitudes, and a talented sky mage can magically enhance their movement, allowing bursts of speed and leaps of great length. Even with limited physical training, a sky mage can learn to perform feats of incredible agility, making them excellent acrobats, dancers, and sometimes thieves*

*- Earth magic comes from two major domains: the stone, minerals, crystals, and gems of the land, as well as the flora and fauna of the living world. It is weaker at sea, though even pebbles hold a part of this source. The Earth is associated with strength, endurance, healing, stubbornness, growth, deep history, balance.*

*- Ocean Magic draws on the depths of the oceans and tides, and its power connects through rivers and lakes that flow back to it. This source is at its strongest during high tide and inside bodies of water, and also strengthens during rainfall. It is is associated with flexibility, transformation, flow, surface-level vs depth, navigation, and awareness.*

*Besides water spells, The Ocean also includes ice spells, which are dynamic and forceful in nature, reaching everywhere and anywhere. While deserts and underground caverns do not provide ideal circumstances to cast ocean magic, only a single drop of water is said to be needed to make use of the source.*

*- Star Magic sometimes called "celestial magic" or "cosmic magic", draws on the vast and timeless power of the cosmos, possibly considered the most powerful type of Magic in their world. It is little understood, and the study is made more difficult by the scarcity of magical creatures connected to them; Startouched Elves and Xadian unicorns*

*The Stars are associated with vision, truth, intelligence, otherworldly, reality-altering, timelessness, mystery, destiny, and wishes and its magic involves divination, cosmic vision, and seeing into the "beyond"."*

"Incredible." Tsukumaro breathed and the information.

"Yeah, this can really come in handy for all of us." Sarah grinned while Edea smiled at her friends' expression.

Race's Magic Gemstones book held infomation about the gemstones said to wield the Primal Sources Magic: Moon Opal - Moon Magic, Fire Rubies - Sun Magic, Aquamarines - Ocean Magic, Stoneheart Emeralds - Earth Magic, Sky Sapphires - Sky Magic and Quasar Diamond - Star Magic. "Wait...." Race looked between Edeas' two Moon Opal earrings in her ears and a small tiara she made herself with Quasar Diamonds along with the bracelet and between the photos of Magic Gems. "Edea....I think you have the same gems in your bracelet, earrings and tiara as they are in this book." he realized.

"Really?" Sarah blinked at the Elf hybrid.

Edea sighed and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "Again, I'm not suppose to tell anyone else about this but....I guess you three can know." Edea took a deep breath and admitted, "Yes... the braclet was a gift from my mother, Zubeia, and Avizandum and the other Archdragons during my training and the earrings and tiara...I made myself. With the braclet, I can....harness the other Primal Sources." Edea looked at the bracelet and felt conflicted once more about her past and the reason she had this much power. "I don't know why I can do this since Elves are only known to harness one kind of magic. Maybe its my Startouch Elf side or....maybe my talent or...."

Edea sighed gripping her head in confusion and frustration, "I just....fell like I don't know who I am..."

Sarah closed her book and went over to Edea with it in her hands, "I think you're exactly who you need to be, Edea." she reassured. "Having alot of power is unusual, but that doesn't make you dangerous or anything like that."

Edea looked at Sarah, a bit skeptical, "Do you really mean that?"

Sarah nodded, "I do..."

Edea smiled at Sarah. Sarah and Race gave Eda back her two books which she put in her satchel before the heard some growling and saw a corrupted Banther and Twin-Tailed Inferno Tooth Tiger!

"Shadowbeasts!" Tsukumaro frowned taking out his wand while Sarah and Race summoned their Palismens: Mittens and Casper before performing the Light Glpyh which blinded the two Shadowbeasts.

"Purifica corruptionem!" Edea commanded drawing the rune (four lines with an x in the middle of them) in the air with purple sparkles before she casted it with a pushed of her hand it struck the two Shadowbeasts before they fell onto the ground before the corruption slowly began to leave them, turning back into their normal selves.

The Twin Tailed Inferno Tooth Tiger fur, mane and wing feathers were colored in a mixture of peach orange and dandelion yellow and cream while its nose was deep orange along with the flames on the tip of the twin tails. His legs were colored black and yellow while his eyes were blood red and the horns on his head faded from dark orange to light red.

The two creatures shook their heads and smiled, free of the corruption.

"Holy Heliolisks." Tsukumaro gawked.

Edea laughed sheepishly being that in that moment she revealed more of her magic. "It's a spell that I created...hehe."

Varokuna and Reshiram used Flamethrower on the Shadowbeasts while Mew used her Psychic powers to shield the rest of the family. Tuliza blasted others with Dragon Pulse with her Chinese Dragon like anatomy making it hard for the Shadowbeasts to bit her and corrupt her.

**"I liked the Poke-Mechas better than this!"**

**"Nightmares for realz!"**

**"That's for sure!"**

*"These things are worse than boggarts!"*

*"I must agree."* Umbreon, Espeon, Glaceon, Terrakion and Virizion frowned at the Shadowbeasts whom tried to break Mew's shield but she was too powerful to let it fall down.

Just then, Zubeia and Stormcloud came crashing through the roof of the library together and they both roared, summoning lightning which struck the Shadowbeasts.

"Zubiea! Stormcloud!" Sarah smiled at the two Storm Dragon females.

On Zubeia's head, Erzan, Zym, Corveus and Soren were revealed. "All of the action you can have, at the library!" Soren called out.

"Come on, everyone, climb on." Erzan called and Zubeia turned around and slammed her tail onto two more Shadowbeasts killing them before Callum, Rayla and Amaya began to climb up onto her since Kazi and Gren left earlier on Amaya's orders.

"Bait! We left Bait!" Callum called and Amaya and Edea turned and saw the Glow Toad surrounded by the Shadowbeasts. Edea quickly formed a sphere of her magic in her hands and casted, "Purifica corruptionem!" once more and struck the Shadowbeasts, purifying them while Amaya grabbed Bait and ran back to Zubeia.

Zubeia began to climb up the floors to take flight however, one corrupted Banther lunged and bit Zubeia under her wing! Zubeia roared in pair before Silvally saw the Banther trying to make the wound as deep as possible, "Silvally, Air Slash!" Sarah called and her Synthetic Pokemon unleashed Air Slash and struck the Banther making it fall onto the ground.

"Wait...you can use that spell combined with the Crystal Heart to purify Lux Aurea and all of the creatures!" Sarah realized with a grin.

Edea nodded before she raised the Crystal Heart into the Moonlight activating it with her Love Magic as her hands glowed white, "W-What are you two-?" Rayla began to ask before Edea raised her hands as they glowed purple and blue with her magic the strongest during the nighttime.

"Purifica corruptionem!" Edea commanded before she touched the Crystal Heart and the artifact unleashed a wave of Love, Light and Purified Magic striking all of the Shadowbeasts for miles and miles turning them back into their original forms before a tiny spark of that magic entered the infected Sunforge and began to purify it slowly but surely.

"Wow....." Callum and the group gasped in awe at the pairs power.

Marena (whom was on Stormcloud) smiled, "I told you." she smirked before Stormcloud raised her head to the second floor where Sarah and the gang were before they climbed onto her head and the Storm Dragons flew out of Lux Aurea and towards the Storm Spire.

## Archmage Akiyu

When they returned to the Storm Spire, Stormcloud, Marena, Bait, Casper and Mittens (In their Live Forms now), Sarah and her pokemon/dragon/mythical family, Tsukumaro, Race and their pokemon, Thunder, Feathers, Wu and Wei, Charger and Soren were with Zubeia looking at the wound she sustained.

"This wound doesn't look good." Soren frowned.

"I've suffered worse.." Zubeia claimed.

"I just want to say, whatever the team decides to do next." Soren began before he looked at Zubeia with a serious concerned look. "Just rest. Okay, that's what you need to get better."

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were a dragon doctor." Zubeia remarked with slighly sarcasma.

"Zubeia, be nice." Stormcloud playfully warned.

"And drink plenty of fluids." Soren included raising one finger.

"Maybe I can do some reaserch on how to cure corruption wounds?" Zubeia offered.

Zubeia gave a small laugh and lowered her head to Soren and Edea, "I'll be fine Little Edea and sweet human." she assured them.

That's when Erzan and the rest of Team Zym came into the her lair, "It's decided. We're going to see the Archmage, Akyiu." Erzan said.

Zubiea's eyes moved to her wound for a moment before she covered it with her wing, not wanting to the others to see it. She knew they'd be sidetracked on their more important mission to care for her. Soren and the others looked at her with concern.

Either way, Zubeia took the group to the Tide Pools where Archmage Akiyu is said to reside. While she was gone, Edea lead the group down the Storm Spire to the spot where she'd done her training. The Twin-Tailed Inferno-Tooth Tiger and Banther which Edea decided to name Helios and Thea respectively followed behind them.

It was a big beautiful valley filled with many flowers: Crimson Orchards, Blue Roses, Lunablooms - blue-blushed flowers and even Heartbloom flowers - tiny silver flowers. Sarah and her family had never seen such flowers before it was so beautiful. To the west was a small shore line where a large dragon was resting before he perked his head up, turned around and saw Edea and the others.

"Everyone t-this is Langdon, my Crescent Shore Drake friend." Edea introduced shyly as Langdon came over with a soft purr and nuzzled Edea lovingly, obvious of their friendship.

Like all other Crescent Shore Drakes, Langdon has a shoulder massive, hard crest that resembles sea foam or clouds that allow them to camouflage within the Ocean waves. He is moss green on the top of his body with a line green line underneath while the underside of his body, inside of his legs and parts of them are ocean blue. Greenish spikes run down part of his neck and back. His head crest is dark blue while his his thicker moss green horns attached to them a pair of whiskers hang from his upper mouth and he has white wing claws on either wing. His wing membranes are also moss green with beautiful lime green wavy lines inside of them.

**"Woah."**

**"He's huge!"**

**"Bigger than even me!"**

**"And he's beautiful!"**

**"Look at those wings!"**

**"Now that's a water dragon!"**

**"So beautiful."**

**"Indeed."** Shadow, Hydro, Inferno, Hurricane, Sunflare, Reignstorm, Silver and Whiplash praised Langdon's size and appearance.

**"Thank you."** Langdon spoke. **"Much appreciated."**

"So how did you meet this beautiful dragon?" Tsukumaro asked rubbing Langdons' side.

"He was my teacher when it came to Ocean Primal Magic. He was appointed by Domina." Edea explained.

Helios and Thea looked curiously at Langdon before he noticed them. He lowered his head to the pairs height and gently nudged them both in a greeted. Helios and Thea touched their heads to Langdons' snout, symbolizing their newfound friendship.

**"Ooh, nya! Pretty berries!"** Skitty cooed wagging her tail as some nice looking berries and she about to eat one when, Edea picked her up.

"Wait Skitty, I have to check them first." Edea placed Skitty behind her before she used her magic to shine some moonlight on them, making them glow. "Okay, they are safe to eat.

"Safe to eat?" Sarah echoed confused.

"These are called Moonberry Surprises. Moonberries resembled and grow from the exact same bush as the Poisonous Deathberries. Ingesting a single death berry results in certain death." Edea explained.

**"Yikes."** Cinderace winced, lucky Edea stopped Skitty before she accidently ate one.

"And what do Moonberry Surprises do?" Tai Lung asked.

"Well the difference is they glow in the moonlight while Death berries don't so that's why I shined moonlight on them to make sure they were safe to eat. Ingesting a single moonberry is said to be enough to satiate one's hunger for nearly an entire day." Edea explained.

"Really?" Sarah blinked at the berries ability.

"Woah!" gasped Race.

"Think you can take some home and grow them, Mother?" puzzled Quilava.

"Yeah that'll save you a lot of food and time feeding us!" smiled Braxien.

"Yeah, one meal and we'd be good!" chimed in Altaria.

"And what do these flowers to?" Buneary asked pointing to some blue flowers.

"Hehe, mom for them from the Moonshadow Forest. They are called Melodaisies. They earned their name from the fact that these plants can play an upbeat music tune while bouncing and emitting a blue glow." happily sighed Edea. "Mom brought me here all the time when I was growing up and we both listened to the flowers music and watching them bounce around without a care in the world."

*More Coming Soon*

## Bait & Switch

Edea, Viserra, Sarah and her family gasped seeing the corruption from the infected Banther bite infecting Zubeia from her changed eyes, "Zubeia no!" Edea cried.

"I'm....fine little one..." Zubeia hissed in pain. "I've..suffered worse."

Edea shook her head stubbornly, "No, I'm not losing you! T-There must be something!"

"Honey..." Viserra gently put a shoulder on her daughters left shoulder but Edea shook it off, "No! I won't lose you, Zubeia, not after everything you've done for me! I'm not losing you. Not again!"

"Edea..." Sarah called. "Let us all to heal the wound."

"How?" Edea asked in a tone that made it sound like she was screaming rather than asking.

Leola trotted into view to the Hybrid Elf and her mothers' surprise, "Leola, is that really you?" Viserra asked as if she couldn't believe Leola was real after hearing what happened to her species.

"Yes, Viserra. I'm alive." Leola nodded. "And I know your daughter and her friend can help heal Zubeia with your combined magic."

"Combined magic...." Edea breathed before she looked at her hands again for a moment.

Sarah nodded at the Moonshadow/Startouch Elf hybrid with a confident smile, "O-Okay....let's do it." Edea steeled wanting to heal Zubeia and not lose her to the corruption.

Zubeia gently lifted her wing and Sarah and Edea came near the wound and Sarah held out her hands as they began to glow in white light. Edea held out her hands as they began to glow crystal blue with her Moon/Star Primal Magic.

"Purifica corruptionem!"

*"Heal Zubeia's wound completely and remove all traces of the corruption so it may never harm her again and she may regain her strength completely."* Edea and Sarah casted together and Zubeia's wound glowed white, purple and blue before the corruption began to vanish as the scales began to crawl upward to close the damaging wound before it was sealed shut with a bright, short stream of light.

Edea's eyes lit up as did her mothers' seeing the wound and corruption completely gone. Zubeia rose to her feet and spread her wings, clearly stronger than she was before. Edea's face turned to one of great joy as she hugged Zubeia's left front leg,

"Yeah! You're okay. You're okay....." Edea smiled as she sniffled a little.

"Thanks to you, child and your friend." Zubeia said gently lowering her head to Edeas' as she rubbed her.

Edea sniffled again and rubbed her eyes of tears. "I'm so happy you're okay."

Zubeia nodded and raised her head, "Now we must find Zym and his friends. Since I didn't appear at sundown, they might have searched for another suit of transportation."

Edea and the others nodded, "But where you they go?"

"I know where." Marena stated twirling her staff in her hands before stomping it onto the ground. "And it's not exactly friendly."

With Marena's guidence, Zubeia and Stormcloud took the group to Scumport (aka Bright Hope Cove) which was the ironic real name of the area, to search for their friends since Zubeia didn't show up at sundown.

Stormcloud, Pyrrah, Zubeia soared from above along with the larger Pokemon while the rest of the group entered Scumport on foot.

Scumport was an island town in one of Xadia's seas that acts as a trading hub for merchants, hunters, pirates, and thieves. The island was almost constantly shrouded in sea-fog and clouds with rocks dominating its northern coast and is seldomly visited.

This was where Edea did some of her Hunter and Poacher defeats during her training and learning her combat skills. Surprisingly, Marena had also been to Scumport too, evident by some of the people either moving out of her way, hissing at her or glaring daggers at her and they were displaying similar behavior to Edea as well. Something told Sarah and her family that Marena and Edea weren't exactly welcomed here but they didn't exactly wanted to tell them that.

Edea was currently wearing her cloak with the hood over her head to conceal her shoulder markings while Marena just waltz right through-bold as you please.

*"Must be pretty scary when they do.....whatever jobs they do."* Sarah thought.

"Are you sure you two should be here?" Race asked Marena and Edea curiously, concerned at the looks the people were shooting the pair.

"Meh, don't worry about these dwellers. They just don't like it when others meddling in their business and profits', especially us." Marena dismissed.

"I've taken down some pirates, thieves, hunters and poachers while training which gave me a small reputation; good from my point of view but bad for others point of views." Edea claimed.

"So where do we start looking for Zym and the others?" Zubeia questioned from above.

"There's always chatter especially with the unofficial boss of this place. Finnegrin." Marena stated as she gestured for the group to follow her through the streets to Finnegrins' Tower which was in the center of Scumport. It is three times taller than all the other structures and sports a window that resembles an eye. "And Finnegrin is..." Tsukumaro prompted.

"A Tideblood Elf whom is also an Ocean Mage. He's the unofficial but official ruthless ruler of Scumport who possesses enough power to make other fight on his behalf. His signature move for keeping his subordinates afraid and loyal was to use Ocean magic to freeze the blood in a person's body, incapacitating and inflicting great pain on them all at once called Veinus Frigardis." Marena explained grimly.

"Well that's....horrifying..." Race blinked not sure how to feel about that.

**"Yikes."** Dusk winced.

**"More like a tyrant, hmph."** Hydro scoffed.

**"Yeah, using fear to intimidate."** Hurricane snarled.

**"Just another big bully."** Shadow nodded.

"But he never messes with us though. I've tangled with him a couple times, hehe." Marena smirked as she twirled her staff. "I'm much to slippery for that Tideblood Elf."

"Seriously?" Ghost (Dragapult) blinked skeptically.

"Yep." Marena nodded.

"And I've dealt with him too. It's how I first came across Langdon. Finnegrin had him as an egg but planned to use it to fish for large Leviathans." Edea stated as they were nearing the tower.

"Wait! As in bait!" Race gawked horrified.

"That's digesting!" Sarah growled. "It was a baby!"

"He doesn't care." Edea remarked with a roll of her eyes. "Anyway I managed to steal the egg from him. And of course, everyone here knows Finnegrin doesn't take thieves lightly but when he tried his spell on me, it didn't work on me at all."

"It didn't!" Tuliza breathed.

"Nope. No pain, no nothing." Edea shrugged. "I think its because of my....other half."

The group came to Finnegrin's Tower but strangely didn't see anyone inside or guarding it at all. "Hmm..." Marena hummed before she opened the front door to it and found lots of crates and barrels and such but no Finnegrin. "Wonder where he is...?"

Mew floated up to the window and didn't see anyone either, *"No one inside."* Mew floated through the window and opened the door.

Walking inside, the group saw Finnegrin's office which held a simple table near one of the windows and they saw the whole of Scumport, the Harbor, Marketplace, Leviathan's Bones and all. "Hmm..." Race narrowed his eyes slightly as Edea looked around in the boxes and the crates in the room.

She came across one crate and opened it and paused for a moment, "What's this...." It looked be some kind of long sword but the blade was 12inches long and dark purple with faint sparkles, not silver or even golden. The winged guard was black as night with a golden pair of wings attached to it. The pommel of the sword was also black and the tassel on the end was in the shape of a horse.

Edea took out the blade and examined it, "Wow...."

The others saw her holding the blade too and came over, "What kind of sword is this..?" Edea asked.

"Don't know, but I feel powerful magic coming from it." Sarah mulled over.

Just then, the Quasar Diamonds in Edea's tiara began to glow brightly as was the blade of the sword before a small sphere of black light came from the blade, bounded around the room a few times before landing on the ground and turning into a odd creature.

It was a large horse but its fur was completely black with dark blue hooves. Resting on its head was a golden crown on their heads, two golden rings around the base of its neck and stomach was present as well. Its mane and tail had fur flowing around the base of their ankles, but the most amazing thing, at least to Edea, was the pair of wings on its back also black as night meaning this wasn't a Unicorn.

"A Winged Unicorn...?" Edea breathed in awe.

"Actually I'm an Alicorn, M'lady." the creature spoke.

"WAAAAHHH!" Edea screamed in fear. Luckily no one really heard her outside of the Tower.

"You-"

"No time to explain let's do this quick shall we?" the creature said before talking a bit quickly. "My name is Cosmos, I am the Alicorn of the Star Primal, nice to meet you Edea. Yes I know your name and if you must know I'm a Star Alicorn, like your Unicorns from the Star Primal but just a bit more powerful."

"Eeeee..." Edea trailed as she scurried away from the Star Alicorn, to bewildered to speak properly at the moment.

"Anyway, I'm a Star Alicorn, but I'm not a genie, I can't grant wishes." Cosmos proclaimed. "But together we'll risk out lives and save the world, ready?"

"Last time I had a dream like this, I was asleep!" Edea exclaimed not believing what was happening to her right now.

"Uh, cute. But this is real." Cosmos enforced. "My kind had left cause of the greed of humanity leaving only the unicorns to suffer for years sans for Leola. Now that you have me, the fate of the world is in your hands to protect it from Aaravos."

"Why would she want to do that?" Sarah questioned.

"Didn't anyone ever tell her? She's Aaravos's daughter."

".........WHAT?!" Everyone practically yelled, especially Edea at the reveal.

"Oh, no one told your Edea. Hmm, I guess that's to be expected given he's the biggest threat to Xadia and knowing he has a daughter would make you a threat to him so that would make him want to kill you so you don't stop him from conquering all of Xadia. But since he's still trapped in his prison, you'll be alive for a bit longer until he gets out." Cosmos said bluntly, ignoring the horror struck expression on Edea's face.

"WHAT?!" she yelled again in shock.

Cosmos sighed, "Let me explain this to you in another way." Cosmos took a breath and began singing.

*Let me break it down*

*Cosmos (rapping):*

*I've been watching over you for thousands of years*

*Watch light drove the dark when a threat appears*

*So in the darkest hour of our longest night*

*There's always been a special one to stand up and fight*

*The fighting and the spying*

*Becoming best friends*

*We'll come this close to dying and then we'll do it all again*

*It'll be amazing to see when you got these abilities*

*You'll finally prove as a super coccinelle*

***Edea (speaking):***

*What's in it for me*

***Cosmos (rapping):***

*I'll tell you what's in it for you*

*You can become someone brand new*

Edea backed away unable to deal with all of this at once while Sarah, Race and Tsukumaro looked pitifully at her, feeling sorry.

***Edea:***

*Just leave me alone*

*I wanna go home*

*I'm not the one that you want in the lead*

*I'm not the person you need*

*I'm not Galastar*

*I can't do this*

*When things get tough*

*I make excuses*

*I'm not Galastar*

***Cosmos (rapping):***

*(I'm about to kick you but you don't start to reason)*

***Edea:***

*I can't do this*

***Cosmos (rapping):***

*(I'm about all outta allocations, making your decision)*

***Edea:***

*When things get tough*

***Cosmos (rapping):***

*(Things get tough for everyone)*

*(You'll learn to fight it through)*

***Edea:***

*I make excuses*

***Cosmos (rapping):***

*(I guess I'm gonna have to decide it for you)*

***Edea:***

*I'm not Lioness*

***Cosmos (rapping):***

*(There's no time to reason no I do)*

***Cosmos:***

*You are Lioness*

"Ugh." Edea grabbed her head in frustration, feeling even more lost than before. Not only did she just find out whom her father was - the person her own mother and Archdragons never told her about, Aaravos but now she was suppose to be some super hero to all of Xadia. This Galastar person, elf or whatever. It was just too much for her.

"Well. well look who came back...." a charming Australian accent voice came before the group turned around saw an handsome looking Earthblood Elf. He had red eyes and dark skin with a single blue mark over his nose and two blue marks on the sides of his face while two white marks were on his cheeks. He wore a blue scarf and a cloak. His horns were a bit twisted with golden bands on them as well.

"Whose the geek?" Cosmos asked.

"Ugh, what do you want Deeks?" Edea sighed curmudgeonly, obviously not happy to see him. "I've got enough to deal with."

"Oh come on, mate. That's no way to treat an old friend." Deeks dismissed nonchalantly. "Cause we're friends, I mean that's what we are friends. I help you and you help me."

"More like annoying Earthblood Elf." Edea frowned.

"Okay.....some context would be nice please." Sarah prompted.

"Deeks is my annoying C.I (Criminal Informant for my jobs here at Scumport during my training." Edea explained with displeased look on her face and mentally thankfully Deeks was acting as a state to reality versus what she just learned. "He's a big joker and annoying with his child like behavior."

"You call it 'child-like' I call it carefree." Deeks retorted playfully doing jazz hands.

"See." Edea gestured.

"Anyway, you're looking for your pals, huh? With a tiny Storm Dragon huh?" Deeks questioned.

"Yeah. What'cha got?" Marena sighed.

"Well they came here and one of them tried business with Finnegrin. He had a Glow Toad he wanted to trade with to use as Bait for Leviathans but he was turned down even offered some baby Glow Toads in exchange but still refused. But then, that same one stole the Glow Toads and sailed off towards the Sea of the Outcast but Finnegrin went after them." Deeks stated.

"One had a Glow Toad..." Sarah mulled over before she gasped. "Ezran and Bait!"

"Oh no!" Edea yelped.

"We have to get to them, now." Race frowned.

"But we don't exactly know where that fiend or your friends are." Tsukumaro pointed out.

"I have a way....which means I'm breaking another stay hidden rule." Edea sighed holding her head.

"It's alright Edea. It's to help my son and his friends." Zubeia called from above at her pupil.

Edea nodded before she concentrated and her eyes glowed white before she was seeing the world through Zyms' eyes. *"Zym....its me. Edea....where are you?"* Edea telepathically asked the young Storm Dragon.

*"On Finnegrins' ship. He captured us and has Callum and the the others held hostage. He locked me, Bait, Starla and the baby Glow Toads in cages in the brige of the ship. He wants Callum to perform the same spell Viren did on Avizandum on Domina Profundis."* Zym mentally answered as Edea saw the interior of the brig.

*"Hang on, we're on our way. Your mother included."* Edea vowed before she stopped the connection and turned to the others. "I know where they are let's go."

"Right." Sarah and the others nodded.

## Finnegrin's Wake

Stormcloud and Zubeia headed out over the Xadia seas in search of the Sea Legs, Finnegrins ship to rescue Zym and the others, "Okay so just asking when we do catch up with them...what do we do?" Deeks asked.

"Good question." Sarah frowned. "With that spell to freeze your blood painfully, we need a way to deal with that or cancel his magic. Edea's the only one immune to the spell."

"Perhaps your Animus Magic as you called it can be of assistance?" Zubeia quizzed. "Stormcloud has told me of its capabilities and potential."

"Hmmm, yeah. I could neutralize his powers so-" Sarah began before Deeks cut her off.

"To scale a full fledge mutiny!" he grinned widely. "I love it!"

Edea and Marena sighed in annoyance with eye rolls of disapproval.

"Zyms said Finnegrin wants Callum to use the same spell Viren used on Avizandum on Domina Profundis when I contacted him." Edea frowned and everyone and was shocked.

"Well he's not doing anything to the Queen of the Ocean while we're around." Sarah stated scoutly.

“Down there!” Deeks called pouring down to Sea Legs below them.

“Okay, Zubeia, Stormcloud, you two can't be seen. If he uses that spell on you, who knows what’ll happen.” Sarah advised the Queen and her sister. “We’ll fly down there.”

”Undetected right?” Deeks asked sheepishly.

"Nope." Marena smirked before she leaped onto Venom whom gave a surprise, **"Huh?"**

"We got right in the front door, haha!" Marena laughed before ushering Venom forward much to the Triple Strykes' dismay.

Stormcloud sighed, **"That's my owner alright."**

Edea got onto Langdon along with Helios and Thea before they followed Marena and Venom down towards the ship. Sarah, Race and Tsukumaro followed suit on Winter, Thunder and Charger, urging the others to stay back for this one.

When they soared down, they saw Finnegrin casted Veinus Frigardis onto Rayla and she froze with blue lines of ice/ocean magic on her body and her clothes before she fell onto the ground, crying in pain. One crew member even looked away at the spell being casted.

”Rayla!” Callum cried as he rushed to her side as she squirmed in pain.

“Veinis Frigardis. Do you think all the people on my crew are with my by choice. One does of the spell is all it takes.” Frinnegin sneered and Callum shrieks around and punched in square in the nose!

The crew was shocked at Callum’s boldness while Finnegrin compasses himself, “You shouldn’t have done that.” he warned before Dreadwood held Callum’s shoulder and aimed to punch him.

“DON’T EVENT THINK ABOUT IT!” Edea finally roared furiously. Dreadwood stopped and Finnegrin turned while the crew gasped as the uninvited guests landed on the ship while Callum and the others were surprised.

"Edea?!" Callum gawked.

"Ah.....Marena and Edea...." Finnegrin said in a mockingly charming tone as he glanced at the ladies before turning it towards Sarah, Race and Tsukumaro and their dragons. "Hmmm, you've gotten yourself some new friends....never saw that before."

Venom hissed and snapped his claws at Finnegrin threateningly, "Hmph, I see some of them got an attitude. Trying to intimidate me." Winter, Thunder and Charger snorted

Edea dismounted Langdon with a frown on her face seeing Rayla hurt, ”And just what are you going to do about it, Edea? You may have disrupted some of my operations and be immune to my spell but you’re friends aren’t - which is your weakness.” he sneered at her.

Ede snarled as she clenched her fist at him, “No! You’re a weakness! You’re nothing but a coward and a loser and I’m not going to let you hurt anyone EVER AGAIN!”

Suddenly bolts of lightning appeared around Edea’s body and her eyes turned purple and white like the stars. Finnegrin, Deadwood and the others looked at Edea before a swirl of Star magic enveloped her, swirling around her like a snake coiling its body around its victim before a screeching roar was heard and the smoke whooshed passed everyone like gale force winds revealing Edea…whom turned into a dragon!

A look alike version of Luna Tenebris Edea became however, the inside of her wings are coated with stars and sparkles and her scales become as black as night like the Star Devourer Dragon.

The crew was shocked and in disbelief at Edea’s newfound strength as were Callum and the others. Edea still sparking lighting flew into the air as her magic gathered around her and she gave a bellowing roar of authority that could be heard for miles and the crew either hide or bowed to her.

Finnegrin snarled at Edea seeing his crew actually showing her authority. “You little brat, you honestly think you can mark me how to you?” he mocked. “No one’s makes me bow to them.”

Edea roared in fury once more before her wing members shimmered and sparkles as six orbs appeared around her colored after the Primal Sources; Red, Blue, Yellow, White, Brown and Silver.

The orbs circled around her as lighting crackled along her body again before all of them swirled into her mouth and she unleashed a beam of power unlike anything anyone had seen before and it struck Frinnegrin enveloping and actually disintegrating him and a huge tube of white light.

Edea landed on the ground with the sunned audience not making a sound at what they just saw. Edea suddenly glowed white before her form changed back into her human form and she collapsed on the ground, fainted.

Edea found herself in a pitch black void as the night with no stars or full moon to give her any light. She was in a crouching position over what she just learned. Being Aaravos' daughter, the Fallen Star and the one responsible for years of pain, loss and death.

Now she knew why her mother or the Archdragons never told her about her parentage, to protect her. But even so she was just so confused, hurt, angry, torn.

***(Play - Courage in Me - Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir The Movie)***

*It's so dark*

*Not a star in the sky*

*With no sound to be heard*

*And reality blurred*

*Dreams are gone with a light*

*Fading out*

*Till the world's far behind*

*I can't do this alone*

*I can't find my way home*

*With this doubt in my mind*

A small purple light appeared in front of her in the shape of a sphere which circled around her leaving a trail of star magic behind it mixed with light blue magic as well.

*Gotta find the courage in me*

*To stand up and be*

*Braver than I have been before*

*Searching for the courage in me*

*So I can believe this what I am destined for*

The small sphere zoomed away from Edea and she ran after it through the dark void which began to fill with white smoke as the ground turning into medium purple circular platforms which Edea began leaping to one after another before she stopped on one.

*Is this my moment to rise*

*Leave the person I was behind*

*There are storms to calm*

*Can I face each one*

*Is it time*

*Is this my moment to rise*

*I have started to realize*

*Doubts have held me down*

*They are fading now*

*Is it my moment to rise*

Edea slowly began to stand up as she looked around at the environment around her with patches of light and hope stemming from meeting her friends, Sarah and the others even despite being told to stay secret.

*As I stand*

*With a new path to tread*

*The hope in my heart*

*Starts to shake at the thought of what my lie ahead*

*Should I fight*

*There's so much I don't now*

*Do I push through the fears*

*Till a new world appears*

*Though I might be alone*

The light appeared in front of her and turned into Cosmos. "Are you ready, Edea?" he asked.

"What if I fail?"

"You must face your own fear to protect the people you love." Cosmos advised wisely.

*What goes with darkness*

*Is totally different in the light*

*And deep in my heart*

*I found a way to climb to new heights*

*I will go on regardless*

*Of anything standing in my way*

*Harness the power in need for those who need be saved*

*I won't run, I won't hide*

*I will soar through sky tonight*

*I'm not going down without a fight*

*And now is the time*

*My moment to rise*

## Infantis Sanguine

Edea awoke to the familiar low, rumbling crocks of Bait as her eyes fluttered open to the tube light of sunlight poking through the room that she was in. She felt softness underneath of her but she felt too sore to even move her head.

She heard the door open though and entering her vision was Starla whom leaped onto her face blocking her vision again before she heard Rayala’s laughter before the female Cuddlemonkey was gently pulled off of her face. That’s when Edea saw the rest of her friends looking at her.

“Guys…” she weakly gasped.

”Easy little miss powerhouse.” Soren joked. “You’ll still out of it.”

”W-Where am I?” Edea asked.

”Still on Sea Legs.” Callum replied as he entered her files of vision. “You’ve been out for about a week after you unleashed your Star Alpha Mode.”

”Star….Alpha…Mode?” Edea echoed slowly.

”That’s what Soren called it after seeing it.” Rayla sighed.

“You have a better name for it? No you haven’t made a countername in a week so that’s what we’re going with.” Soren acknowledged.

Edea weakly laughed. “Zubeia? Stormcloud?”

”They’re alright too. They’ve been near Sea Legs guiding us to the Sea of the Outcasts.”
