A Shimering Threat

  After dance class was over everyone got changed and started heading out. Ginger walked over to Alexa and Alieta. So now I got to get Keiko and Amelie in the forest to help me find that girl in Cumberland with the nice voice, said Ginger. There is a girl that can sing like you in Cumbberland? asked Alexa. Well not like me but very good and different, said Ginger. Hey who is that over there by the tree? They all looked but saw nothing. Alexa saw that Angus had got up and took a few steps towards the tree. Well looks like Angus saw something too, said Alexa. Angus, Sivia go check out around the tree. The two of them ran over there but then Alexa could see something moving that looked sort of invisible but not really then it disappeared. The two wolves sniffed around and pawed at the ground. Well that means something was there, said Alexa. I saw something but couldn't tell what it was. Then Ivy came out and walked over but stopped and got a worried look on her face. What is it Ivy? asked Alieta. Ivy walked over slowly. Something dark is close, said Ivy quitely. Very dark on the outside. How close? asked Alexa. Too close, said Ivy. Alieta run to the palace. Angus run to Alieta fast. Ivy went translucent. Do the same Alexa fast. Alexa asked no question just did it. There you see it, said Ivy by the sun dial. Yes now I do but it is not solid or something, said Alexa. Siva ran over beside Angus that was guarding Alieta that looked very confused. She testing us, said Ivy. It can't tell I can read her. Here she comes, lets grab her. She thinks we can't see her, said Ivy. Ivy and Alexa grabed the woman that was barely visible. Ginger couldn't see what they were struggling with so she flew over to Alieta. Angus ran over but Sivia stuck with Alieta. What do you want? asked Alexa. The woman became visible as she struggled to get loose. Then a energy pulse went off that made both Alexa and Ivy loose their grip and pushed Angus back a bit making him put down his head and dig in with his paws. You ever touch me again and I will kill you, said the girl that had what looked like dark makeup on. Then she just vanished. Okay she is gone for now, said Ivy.

  Ivy and Alexa went whole again and walked over to Alieta. So what the heck just happened? asked Alieta. I couldn't see what you were holding at first but then for a moment I saw a image of a girl then nothing. Neither could I and I was standing right there, said Ginger. Well Ivy fill us in, said Alexa. You seemed to know her every thought. I not sure what it is but she calls herself Rose, Chameleon Rose and she is some kind of sorceress I think, said Ivy. Very dark outside and and a bit inside but a different kind of dark, not like a evil being but still dark. So what was with that black makeup on her face? asked Ginger. Not sure, but her lower back has black lines and markings too, said Ivy. So what does she want, asked Alieta. She wants you, said Ivy. Me, why me? asked Alieta. Not completely sure but she has a great need to get you. Something about a dead sister. Did you kill her sister? asked Ivy. Um I don't think so, said Alieta. I did kill a lot of people back during the great war but not anyone that looked like that and especially not a sorceress. Well I think she is blaming you I think or something. She seems not fully sure about some things, said Ivy. Maybe we should get Yeanny here, she used to be a sorceress. She may know something about a Chameleon one, said Alieta. Well I think I better go, said Ginger. All this is a lot for a pixie to deal with. Alieta smiled. Yes go and find that girl, we will take care of things here, said Alieta. Ginger flew off to the forest. Okay I will go get Yeanny, said Ivy but Alexa should stay with Siva and Angus. Okay go then, said Alieta. Best we know more about what we are dealing with. Ivy flew off fast. Then Ktara and Paisley came out of the palace. Hi everyone what is going on? asked Ktara. Not completely sure yet, said Alexa but you two stick around, some kind of sorceress is after Alieta. Alieta can you get a sprite to get Zatsuky and Viridain here in full gear. They can deal with her. Okay good idea but what about Tara and Avan? Well if they can't see her then what are they going to do, said Alexa. Ya good point, said Alieta. Alieta saw a sprite on patrol and wave her down then gave her the instructions. So what can we do to help? asked Paisley. Go to the armory and get an elf to give each of you an enchanted sword, said Alieta. Best to be armed I am guessing. Okay but why is it after you? asked Ktara. Ivy said she thinks I killed her sister, said Alieta. When, asked Ktara. Not sure but not since I have been queen here. I haven't killed any one except that time we fought those Minotaurs. Before then it was the great war but I dought I killed a sorceress then. Besides there were lots of winged sprites in the air. Okay lets go in Paisley and get a nice sword, said Ktara. So are you going in too Zan? asked Alieta. Nope, you always tell me that I miss stuff out here because I sleep too much so I am staying. Beside Angus and Siva are here plus a bunch of heros. This may be something to watch, said Zan.

  Ivy got to Yeanny's place and found the two of them out back. Hi Ivy, how are you? asked Yeanny. I am fine but Alieta is in trouble, said Ivy. Really, in trouble, how? asked Yeanny. Well a Chameleon sorceress is after her. She says Alieta killed her sister. Do you know anything about that kind of sorceress? Well I have heard of a Chameleon witch. They are not that powerful, just able to mix in with their surroundings, said Yeanny.Well this one is powerful and blasted Alexa and me to free herself from the tow of us holding her, said Ivy. I see, well I have heard rumors about a girl that calls herself Rose but they say she is more like a mix of devil and demon and maybe elf or something, not sure exactly, said Yeanny. Well we should go to the palace, said Ivy. Alexa has Angus and Sivia guarding Alieta. Well I don't want to put Sakura in that kind of danger or leave her alone here by herself, said Yeanny. I'll take her with me, I want to bring Kendra into the fairy forest to live anyways, said Ivy. Sakura will love it in there with all the fairies plus Tillia and Sara are there too. Okay that will be fine then, said Yeanny, "Sakura, your going in the fairy forest". Sakura flew over fast. Really in the magical fairy forest with all the fairies and magic plus swimming pool and stuff, said Sakura very fast. Yes you are and Ivy is going to take you there with Kendra, said Yeanny. Okay, I will be good I promise, said Sakura. Yeanny smiled. Well I have to go back to the palace for a bit with your mother but I will come back soon, said Ivy. Oh that's okay Ivy, fairies love to play so I will be busy, said Sakura. I can be a good musketeer for you. You want to be a musketeer? asked Ivy. Yep, someone has to fill in for Kevin seeing he isn't here anymore, said Sakura. So what do musketeers do anyways? asked Sakura. They play, said Ivy. Ih ya, I forgot, I love playing with Tulip and Sunflower and...Yes okay dear enough naming all the fairies but we have to go now, said Yeanny. Okay Mom, said Sakura. Ivy took off with Sakura to the woods and Yeanny teleported the palace.

When Yeanny got there she saw Alieta sitting on the steps with Ginger and Alexa, Ktara and Paisley were guarding her with Angus and Sivia. So I hear you are in a bit of trouble, said Yeanny. Well it seems that way, said Alieta. So what do you know about this sorceress? Well like I told Ivy she is no Chameleon sorceress if she is powerful. My best guess is she is Chameleon Rose, said Yeanny. She can be very nasty and relentless loke a bounty hunter. Oh so that doesn't sound too good, said Alieta. Well are you sure it was a Chameleon and not just some kind of devil or demon? asked Yeanny. This girl is suppose to have very unique markings on their skin. Ya I saw her up close for a few moments, said Alexa. Black around the eyes and a marking on her forhead plus some type of black marking on her lower back. She had purple eyes also and long black nails. Well that sounds like a her then. Gwyneira would know more about her though, said Yeanny. Witches have been known to hire her to do their dirty work. Her sister probably hired at least one or two of them when she was an evil witch. I should go get her for us or at least talk to her and she can fill me in. Okay go then, said Alieta. I am feeling safe right now. Yes I see why, said Yeanny. Okay I will be back soon then Yeanny vanished.
