§Chapter§One§
Dark Point: Lydia Hykate
Darkness falls within shattered cities of innocents and heartbreaks, scattered souls roaming endlessly for a purpose throughout the fragile world of the cold night. Nothing can call upon life, but disaster. Nothing can save the end of the world.
War, hate, and mysteries are everywhere. Sudden screams of no tomorrow and hell all around. That is what she saw, screams of humans, blood shooting up through the cold-blooded night sky. It was horrifying and unnerving like being inside a horror movie.
Lydia tried to concentrate on the world around her cradling her head in her arms and started to shiver of fright and pain. There was nothing that can cure her emptiness and the vision that she saw was different than all the others she had before. What she saw was the end of the world, the apocalypse. She prayed to her heart that she would be able to save it and everything living and evolving around this fragile world.
Suddenly someone started to yank jerk one of her dark, purple, and soft ponytails. Lydia shifted her head till she was face to face with the person who had done it.
“Hey! Lydia, are you ok?” Lydia gazed upon the eyes of Vine a mere earth god. She fell into deep reminisce and saw a beautiful oasis right in front of her, she was there because of the voice inside her head. A voice of an angel, an angel of the moon, she called herself Salena, moon goddess and that takes Lydia to Vine. A jewel given to her by the goddess herself but not in person, she hasn’t seen her yet but was curious to know what she looked like. The jewel that dangled on her chest moved side to side bouncing up and down as she ran into the oasis. Her jewel was glowing green and that tells her about her elements. One of the elements that she must find is closer than she expected. She smiled with joy and excitement as she dashed through vines and leaves falling from the trees around her. She knows that she was outside of the earth country, because it was always warm and sunny all day. Lydia went further and further into the oasis and saw a big painting standing there in the sun. It was alluring enough to pull her closer. She saw a stool there in front of it with paintbrushes and paints lying around on the grass floor. She slowly sat herself on the stool and began to admire the painting, staring at it blankly.
A shadow soon emerges from behind her and she stood up as fast as her body let her, but the force of a hand shove her down against the seat. She tried to face the shadow but saw angry eyes covered with a head of green grass. His eyes were jade and his ears were like an elf’s. He seemed special.
“Who are you?” He asked cautiously. “How did you get here?” Vine started to stutter and his hands tremble. Lydia stood up and spoke seriously, “Has the moon guardian spoke to you yet?”
Moon guardian? He thought as his eyes widen with shock. Then a girl came from behind him with hair green as the tree’s leaves stood on a tree stump.
“The moon guardian?” She was lost in thought but realized what she meant. “The moon guardian told us to find all the elements.” She sat down on the stump and crossed her legs, wearing a long green leafy dress and ivy surrounded her head. You can call her beautiful if you want, since that’s what people see her as, beautiful but fearful in her village.
“So you do know!” Lydia shouted happily and grinned. “Great, oh my name’s Lydia, goddess of dark at your service.” She said bowing down politely.
“Lydia, goddess of dark. My pleasure to meet you, Vine here and over there…” Vine pointed at the girl sitting on the stump next to him with his thumb. “That’s Ivy.” They are the earth warriors of the elements. Strong and powerful they will be.
As her memories faded she came back to reality and to this world she now lives in. Lydia was still struck by her recent vision, a vision she wished she hadn’t seen.
“Yes, I’m fine, don’t worry about me. I just had a vision that’s all.” She reassured him with distressed hanging in her voice. It was unbearable.
“A vision?” Vine questioned her with a worried look in his eyes. Lydia nodded and paused for a moment trying to rid her mind of the vision. She sighed and leaned back against the table. Vine sat down next to her with his arm over her shoulders, trying to comfort her. “I know sometimes your visions are bad and sometimes they’re good, so which one is it?” Lydia took a moment to react to his question and mumble out the words softly to Vine.
“Bad, but I think they’re important.” She wiped her weary eyes with her hand thinking if she should go and warn the others about her vision too. It was quite horrifying to her.
“I see, if it’s important then we should wait and…” Vine paused and thought for a moment. “Go speak with the others about this and by the way, I know how you feel.” He smiled and gave her a friendly hug. Vine is empathic and senses other people’s emotion around him, sometimes destroying himself doing so, because emotions can be too powerful to handle and the feelings can sometimes hurt you.
“Thanks.” Lydia tried to smile but she couldn’t, those images just kept repeating themselves over and over again. As she stood up a girl with long green hair walked towards them. Ivy Gaia, it was she, the goddess of the earth. Also known as Mother Nature, because she can control nature at will making it any climate she wishes to but she doesn’t mess with it much, since that will ruin the coarse of nature that it is in now. Ivy left her village not so long ago to accomplish the goal she needs to accomplish and for the mission of the elements along with Vine and the rest. Her village is an earth village, of course she differ from the people there and they fear her, because of her powers she beholds. Powers that no one ever held and can strong enough to destroy many. The villagers stroked a protest against Ivy and her mother, since that was where the power came from, that was where it originated. Since then her father had left them and he was ashamed of his own family, her mother also escaped to the surface world before Ivy left and so she followed later on meeting with the elements firsthand.
“What are you guys talking about?” She asked inquisitively and she sat next to Vine, reaching for his hand. Lydia was still quiet as despair took over her. Vine gazed at her with sadness and turned to face Ivy to give her the info.
“She had a vision?” Ivy exclaimed. Vine nodded and held her hand tightly as they rose up from their seats. Vine nudged Lydia to move too and she did.
Lydia, Vine, and Ivy left the park where they had just been. The sun was still bright as they walked to Lydia’s black convertible, bathing in the sun ready to be ridden. The car wasn’t old and it wasn’t new either. It was something only she can afford to use during the stay here in the surface world, something to get around in without using her powers. Of course this world is not like any other.
Lydia walked over to the driver’s side as Vine got in the passenger side and Ivy sitting in the back. She slowly turned on the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot and headed for home, not so far from here. As the wind started blowing through their hairs and the music blasting loudly and the sound vibrated throughout the car, Lydia pulled into a neighborhood that was always booming with friendly people of many different races other than the humans.
In the middle of the street a shadow popped up out of nowhere as Lydia stared out the window, mindlessly and her eyes squinted to get a clearer view of the shadow and she stepped on the brakes on time, as the sun passes over the shadow’s face. A boy with hair dark as night and eyes black as the dead wearing a sleeveless shirt showing off his tattoo on his right forearm of a five letter word, Erebus with thorns wrapping around the other arm and black-chained jeans walked over to the driver’s side smiling at Lydia peering out his fangs and pulled his head over the window.
“Hello, Lydia. Nice to see you again, my sweet.” Lydia smiled, when she realized it was Damien, her vampire beloved. He peeked inside the window, nodded at the earth warriors sitting inside and signaled Ivy to go in the back seat. She nodded and giggled. He dissipated and materialized in the seat where Ivy sat. Lydia turned to face him as she resumed driving towards home.
“There’s something I was planning on telling you, since your here” She said softly as she grasped the gearshift, and saw him slowly slipping his hand onto her. As Lydia leaned back on her seat her memories took control of her again, making her remember Damien.
Damien is a lonely prince of the spirit world, taking care of who can go to heaven and who can go to hell, watching over the doorway to the afterlife. There would also be people who had wished to stay on the fragile earth and he would let them, continuing to live with the living and the other spirits that roam about. He is also a vampire, his clan was destroyed many years ago and he lived in a large manor on a silent hill alone. Damien wasn’t like other vampires, he doesn’t prefer to suck, rather than drink from a wine bottle. He barely left his home, but only for feeding and that was rare. The only thing he can ever think about is his clan. Gone forever, he searched for them or their bodies to give it a proper burial ground, but they were nowhere to be found and so he quit searching. Many people fear him because of his race and how he is the only survivor in his clan. Damien always stays hidden away from hunters and snatchers wouldn’t let a soul in his house until that one fateful day.
Damien was Lydia’s first element to seek and she found his manor, over all the skeleton lying on the dirt floor and tombstones all around. It was your typical Halloween setting, nothing much really. Lydia stammered over wearing a black cloak over her hair and knocked loudly on the door, but no one answered. She tried many times, but still. This is crap; you know I wouldn’t think I resort to this. She thought as she raised her leg high lifting her long black skirt and kicking down the door. Her strength is pretty strong since she has the blood of a jaguar, she is also fast, and as the door got knocked down she stepped inside to see a floating shadow lingering under the balcony on top. She took a steady step forward and took off the cloak to reveal a fast of many beauties. The pendent she wears on her neck glowed black and then it faded. It worked! I think. She thought unaware if she had found the dark element yet. She looked up in front of her and her eyes met with the shadows on the wall and gazed at the figure floating in front of her. Damien was there, but his feet weren’t touching the ground. She walked closer till he lowered himself so he can be her height.
“Are you here for me?” He questioned and his feet touched the ground. Damien signaled Lydia to follow him further down into what seems like a library and she did.
The library was huge and there were thousands of books of every kind in there. Lydia was so hypnotized by the thousands of books she just kept going and bumped into Damien as he pushed a book further into the case and the case rose to reveal a secret box.
“Sorry.” Lydia apologized and watches Damien opened the box to reveal something even more. What she saw was two weapons of strength; she saw a large scythe and two elbows blades lying on top of each other with a note attach to them. “What’s this?”
“Weapons of darkness.” He stated and took hold of the elbow blades and handed them over to her. Lydia held it and carefully examining it until the note fell in front of her eyes. The note fell to the ground like a snowflake falling steadily. She bent down to pick it up and read what was inside.
Dear dark warriors,
Please take these weapons and venture out to the surface world to find the other elements as the prophecy says. I can’t tell much more warriors, as you’ll soon find out on your own…
-Moon guardian
“So this is a prophecy.” Lydia said she slipped the note inside her cloak. Damien nodded and took the scythe from inside the box and held it in the air until it glowed a bright white light. Soon on the scythe engraved his name, Damien Erebus with a marking that says dark. Lydia glanced at hers and the same was done, Lydia Hykate and a marking that says dark.
“I guess our story begins here, doesn’t it?” Damien indicated and Lydia let out a slight smiled as their story begun to unfold and her mind opened as reality appeared in front of her again.
Lydia sped up a little quicker as she turned into a large driveway connected to a huge chateau sitting on the side of a hill. The chateau is made of millions of red bricks and black wall paints old as five hundred years. Lydia bought this house because it was big enough to house all the elements together so they don’t stray apart.
She parked her car and slowly turned of the ignition and unbuckled her seat belt as everyone got out of the car; Damien rushed over to the other side and opened up Lydia’s door, took her by the hand and helped her up.
“Thanks.” She mumble as the car door behind her shut and her doors were locked. Damien walked beside her and the earth warriors were behind her following behind.
“So, what is it that you want to tell me?” Damien reached for the small door leading into the chateau and let out a squeak. Lydia walked into the door, still silent waiting for the right time to tell him about her vision she had at the park. The vision was bloodcurdling and she couldn’t resist the urge to tell him, and her lips began to move slightly.
“I had a vision.” As those words slipped out of her lips she collapsed onto the wooden floor with her hands over her face. Damien was stunned and he held her by the waist helping her over to the nearby couch.
“A vision?” He had known about her visions and how she has the power to see into the past, present, and future like any other psychic. “What did you see?”
Lydia eyes went blank as her face went pale. The earth warriors sat down next to her listening in on the details of her vision.
“I saw an apocalypse.” She murmured as the image replayed it self like a film. “The end of world and we must stop it.” Those last words hung in the air around them and Lydia realized that this mission is much tougher than she thought, than any of them thought.
Lydia slipped out of Damien’s grasped and slowly rose up from her seat.
“Right.” Damien agreed as he tried to picture the apocalypse knowing that this is the future we must face.

Lydia’s nose started to twitch as the sweet aroma flew through the air around them, the smell of white chocolate chip cookies. This will get my mind of the vision. I hope. She thought that if she forgets about it, her emotions wouldn’t pull her down again. She prays till her heart content that this won’t come true.
“Someone’s baking something.” Lydia stated as she waltzes into the kitchen up ahead and peeked in. She saw a girl about her age with short flaming hair, wearing a brown t-shirt and baggy cargo pants. The girl was wearing oven mitts opening the oven and taking out a small cookie tray filled with fresh baked cookies. They smell delicious! Lydia thought as she quickly ran further into the kitchen until a hand grabbed the collar of her shirt. She turned around and saw a look of jealousy the look belonged to Damien.
“Where are you going?” He asked suspiciously.
“Cookies.” Lydia replied and started to walk again and a sudden force prevented her from going any further. “Food, I want sweets now let me go.”
“Uh, I don’t think so. Eating Ember’s food and not mine.”
“Well, she baked and you didn’t so ha!” Lydia gave Damien a playful look, marched into the kitchen and stole a piece of cookie from on top of the cookie sheet, slipped it into her mouth and a hand whacked her on the head. “Ow!” She turned around to face Ember crossing her arms angrily.
“Not for you! After dinner, missy.” Ember scolded as her eyes met Damien’s standing there in the doorway. “Like my cookies?” She smiled wickedly knowing that cooking is war against Damien’s cooking. Since they’re rivals and all.
“Smells good.” Damien admitted as he walked closer to where the girls were standing. Ember grabbed a piece of her homemade cookie and handed over to Damien.
“Eat it.” She offered and he shook his head. “You know you want to, since it’s my night to cook.” She stuck her tongue out at Damien taunting him. “Might as well try it.”
He quickly snatched the cookie from Ember’s clutches and took a big bite of the cookie.
“It’s good isn’t it?” Ember bragged.
“Seconds, please.” Damien said as he grabbed another one and put it into his mouth. “You have to admit this is good, but mine will be better.” Lydia giggled and walked over to the other side of the island reaching for the refrigerator to get a glass of milk. As she pulled out the gallon of milk a puddle of water formed on the ground and as a figure solidifies into a human with long blue hair with a body that sparkles, eyes clear as glass, and a brain smart as a scientist. The look on her face seemed very grimed as she started to speak.
“They’re at it again, guys.” She spoke quickly. “The assassins have imprison more souls as we speak, we must leave at once!”
Everyone froze their laughter and changed their jokingly faces to serious faces.
“Aimee, where?” Lydia demanded as she rose her arms in the air to transform into an outfit made for fighting, her hair was up in three ponytails, with cat ears lying on top, she wore light shoulder armor, with tights ripped everywhere, and high boots to match. It was stylish.
“Follow me, they didn’t get too far, I hope.” Aimee prayed as she melted back into the puddle she came out of.
Lydia signaled everyone in the house to get a move on and to get ready to save lives, once more. This was another part of their mission. The guardian had told them that series of assassins were let loose taking soul after souls; searching for the key they desire most. The assassins belonged to two really bad villains, the Eclipses. The Eclipses were demons stealing souls and keys that belong to them, stealing them and using them for their own evil uses. The elements haven’t seen them in person yet, only their minions, doing their dirty work for them.
In an instant everyone was assembled as was standing in the park where Lydia was just at earlier. Many bodies were scattered all around lying there unconsciously. Their faces went pale and shock was scattered through out their bodies. Lydia scanned the park and saw a dark figure from the corner of her eye running towards an alley near a construction site.
“Over there!” Lydia shouted as she scampered over to the alley. As she reached the entranced the figure was holding a lifeless body and sucking out the soul through his mouth. “That is sick, man!” Lydia covered her eyes as the figure looked up from what was distracting him. The assassin looked a bit disfigured with yellow talons and black hair with a long scar, crossing pass his left eyebrow. His movements were slightly slow then it got a little quicker when he starts to run.
“Ooh, look what we have here. Free souls for the taking.” The figure spoke hungrily and dropped the body on the ground. “The Eclipses would thank me for getting your souls, the elements!” His arms fell to the side and he rushed over as Lydia tried to dodge his attack. The best idea is to split up from him, she thought and sent her thoughts to everyone around her. She glanced up and everyone got her message, because they were gone and she was the only one standing there, waiting to get her soul eaten.
“Come and get me, jerk face!” Lydia taunted as her weapons appeared in both of her hands, the elbow blades. The assassin turned around and rushed back at Lydia ready to attack her again. She jerked around and blocked what seems like claws, very sharp and yellow claws scratching at her face. She pushed the claws up away from her skin and as tried her strengths pushed her down ready to slice her to pieces. “You’re…not…going to… get… me… assassin!” And with one push she flung up to the brick wall behind him, making a big dent in the wall. Lydia cheered and suddenly she left her guard down and the assassin held his claws to her neck.
“Got you, now your soul.” The assassin’s breathe reek of leftovers that were left on the table for weeks. All of a sudden a long sharp snake like blade appeared in front of Lydia going passed her head and wrapping around the assassin’s neck, tighten it till he couldn’t breathe at all and Ivy appeared holding onto the other end of the blade and flipping upside down over Lydia and the assassin, touching her feet against the brick wall.
“Got you.” Ivy chuckled and pulled on her blade tighter. Lydia could a gagging sound next to her as the assassin’s claw loosens around her neck. She pulled freely and aimed her elbow blades as the assassin.
“Now what?” She grinned.
“Not yet.” A deep voice spoke behind her as she turned her head around to see a boy with short blue hair and eyes that sparkles in the moonlight, wearing a shirt that has sleeves ripped from them, and baggy blue jeans stared at her in sharply.
“Right, retrieve the souls back and return them back where they belong.” Lydia smiled and stabbed the assassin in his gut and soon he leaked out souls, like a hole in a pool, leaking out water. Lydia’s eyes followed the wandering souls going back into their rightful bodies. “Thanks Alec.” She took her weapon out of the assassin and you could hear a tear in the demon and the screaming still echoing through the sky. Lydia shivered as the screams flowed through her ears.
“No problem, now that’s settle, shall we return home?” Alec suggested as the other elements reappeared.
“Didn’t realize that you stayed behind.” Damien assumed.
“I had to, I don’t run.” Lydia giggled as they all walked out of the alley.
