Chapter 5:
Skye motioned them to be quiet .
They could see a shadow moving in the darkness . It stepped into the light to reveal a man under a hood . They could see his red eyes with hints of purple .
"Ah" He said "I see you've returned" . Glory gasped , this was the voice . Was he talking to her?
"Darkon" Skye hissed . Pure hatred in her voice . "Recognised me , princess" He said as he took off his hood .
He had black hair . There was a scar across his right eye . He gently touched it "Remember what you did"
"I do" Skye snapped "I remember all of it and I'd do it again if I have to" . He chuckled "Do you not remember the nitric lizard bite?"
"I do" Skye snapped again . "Then didn't it teach you to not mess with me"
"Messing with you is the game I play" Skye said in a low voice pulling out a-
A sword? , from her bracelet . HOW?
"Oh really" He smirked "Let's see if you win this one" .
She charged at him as he pulled out a sword from his side . All the kids could tell from their expressions and voices that they have fought before . Not once , not twice . More than thrice .
Callisto and Rai looked at each other and smiled . "She's the same Skye" Rai commented .
"The same legend she was years ago" Callisto added . "What do you mean? Legend?" Sunny asked them . Rai crouched down to their eye level with a hand on Sunny's shoulder .
"One of your guardian is a legend . Well she was before we started looking after you" . "What legend? Which one?" Blaze asked excitedly .
"We'll explain it later"
-------------------------------------------
Skye smirked as she wiped the glistening blood off her sword .
"Were you crazy? You could've killed yourself . You took the risk last time too" Rai scolded for the tenth time since Darkon went away .
"Oh come on , you know I've done more than that" Skye said turning to face them . "You say that everytime" Callisto said putting a hand on her shoulder .
"Because it's true" Skye rolled her eyes . "It is not if you take the risk of getting killed just to protect us"
The kids watched them continue with their bickering . "Are you done yet?" Mist broke in .
"Oh" Callisto said "We forgot they're here" . "It's OK" Skye said .
"So about the legend you were telling us" Blaze said . "Oh right" Rai started "Now all of you have read the legend about the Fire girl . The girl destined to get 'The Medallion of Fire'"
The kids nodded . "Guess what?" Callisto said "Skye is the Fi-"
"WHAT?"
"Prove it" Mist said . Suddenly Skye's hair got lit on fire "Proof"
All of them were shocked . Mist was the first one to speak "You know , you and Darkon look alike"
"WHAT!?" Now was Skye's turn to shout the word but louder .
---------------------------------------------
Something sparkled in the shallows that caught Skye's attention .
She turned to look a little closer . "What is it?" Rai asked . "Wait here" She said before diving into the river .
After a few minutes , she came back to the ground with an amulet in her hand . It had a sapphire encased inside silver . It was hung on a silver chain .
She sat on the rock she was sitting before and looked at it . "Does this look familiar?" Skye asked .
She gasped "It belongs to-" "Aqua" Callisto whispered , finishing her . "What do we do with it?" Rai looked at it .
After a few seconds of silence , Skye stood up and walked over to Mist . She held out the amulet "I see this belongs to you"
Mist tilted her head before taking the amulet . Skye walked back to Callisto and Rai . Callisto looked at her and smiled . He nodded . A nod that meant she did the right thing .
"How do you know that?" Mist looked at the 3 guardians . "I just do" Skye shrugged . "But how?"
Skye sighed . Mist was not going to stop asking unless she answered . "Give it to me"
Mist handed her the blue amulet . Skye tapped the sapphire and the locket opened . She gave it back to Mist "Hope it still works"
Mist scrolled through a lot of pictures . "That black haired girl is your mother" Skye said .
"No wonder she looks so much like you" Sunny said .
"This amulet is just like mine" Glory said pulling a one from beneath her shirt . It had an emerald instead of a sapphire .
"Wait" Skye asked "Who gave you that?" . "My father"
"And your father is...?" Callisto said . "Storm" .
"Storm is your father!?" Skye shouted but gently . "Yeah" . "Is he still alive?" Rai asked . Glory nodded "He was when you guys brought me here" . Aaaaaaand Skye fainted .
Rai caught her before she met the ground . He gently placed her down .
"Do you know the way to your home?" Callisto asked . "Obviously"
"Then come on" He grabbed her hand and they disappeared into the trees .
"I'll get us there" Glory said . She levitated Callisto and flew herself all the way to her house . They landed on the roof with a thud .
A young man came rushing up . He had the same features as Glory , black hair and green eyes . But Glory's face was similar to Skye's .
He ran to Glory and hugged her tightly "Glory , Where were you . You scared me to death" . She returned her father's embrace .
He let her go but his hands were still on her shoulders . "But I came to the roof everyday , how can you just appear now?"
"Because of him" she gestured at Callisto . His face lit up in joy as he hugged him "Callisto"
He hugged him back "Storm , nice to see you again old friend"
They separated .
Does he know or remember Skye? Glory thought . He took a quick glance at each of them before turning to Callisto "Skye?"
Callisto nodded "She's alive and we're here to take you"
