There's No Joy

The Visions

Solette's Pov
After dancing so much I returned to my dorm with knees and feet aching. Not even at Eagalia's birthday ball did I ever dance so much. Rosemary my black eyed white ferret curled up on the other pillow of the one I don't use of the two set up on the bed. I changed into my pajamas after slipping out of my outdoor ballet slippers. I sat in bed and covered my pink nightgown with the violet cover sheets upon my bed. I lay my head on the pillow. I wondered what the effects of that Silver Showering light was. It didn't affect Alfea because the barrier was put up and it stopped long before the boys went home. Could it affect all the worlds?

(Yes, but our girl doesn't know that. By neither does Darkar or the Pied Piper know it. You see nobody except Varanda and Ambrosia knew it was a mercury shower. And they knew it only came from one place. Mercury poisoning had very little to cure it. Mercury is the second most toxic substance in this Magic Universe the First being Plutonium.)

Return to Solette's Pov

I was having difficulty sleeping. The sun was black but a yellow coyote barred the way to me rekindling it. No!

I took a step closer and the image seemed to get pulled farther and farther away.

"Beware Solette make sure your light never shows your greatest weapon!"

A nymph in completely stood her skin still blue as ever for being stuck by the Shaman Witch frozen shut and tied up in ice vine gripping chains in a cabin despite the warming hearth.

"Cousin, you mustn't let anybody know you carry a piece of the Sunflame. Darkar will love that."

I was tossing and turning I had heard the nymphs words. She felt a dark shadow counter and saw purple eyes staring down at her.

"Ah ha! There you my ticket to freedom coyote." Shadowclone spoke. He grabbed the scruff of Loon's beastly body. My brother could not react. It was how nature and it cubs, kits or pups are when grabbed by the scruff they go limp. The coyote was no different. The barrier of the Wildlands was cuttoff by Loon's magic covered body. Once Shadowclone was out of the Wildlands he left go of Loon's scruff.

"Shadowhaunt is North, boy do you know that?" He inquired. What an idiot anyone who gets transformed into a canine has every good well-being idea about what direction what stuff is. He circled while sniffing to understand his bearings and then nudged Shadowclone away from Black Mud Swamp.

"Brother no don't take him back to Shadowhaunt." I called out trying to reach him.

"Your brother belongs to me, fairy." says Alvrico. "He can't hear your voice no more."

"You, vile beast!" I exclaimed. I tried to run up to him, roundhouse kick in the chest and punch his face, but I couldn't move at all. You've reached the part of that part of the dream  where you can't run foward or back as your feet are stuck to the floor as if someone split glue on it."

"Don't worry, Sunshine." stated Alvrico. "I'll take plenty good care of your brother."

"I thought I told you not to call me that!" I exclaimed.

"Bring me into it, Pied Piper!" ordered the Dark Phoenix. The Red Knight appeared before me, phoenix wings drooping off his arms like window drapes. His red eyes gleaming.

"Shadow fire let her feel the pain of the Princess of Domino."

He hit Shadowclone again and again. I could feel every piece of pinch of pain Daphne was feeling. It was so bad I fell to my knees.
