Stopping the floods

The next afternoon I go to the forest. Luna is there.

"Are you ready?" Luna asks.

"Not really. They should start showing up soon," I answer.

A few seconds later there is a burst of light. I blink and when I open my eyes Skylar is in front of us. She sees Luna.

"Hey murderer. What did it feel like killing your brother?"

A tear streams down Luna's face but she stays calm. I don't know how she does it. Even I am having a hard time controlling myself.

"What? No reaction? Maybe it's because you have no soul. How else would you be able to kill your only sibling? Not to mention he was your friend's support. You are lucky she didn't hurt you. Her mind is clouded. She thinks it's my fault. It's not. It's all yours And when she learns it she will-"

"STOP!" I yell, "What are you achieving by doing this?"

"Control, power, all of that fun stuff."

Blake walks to us from behind the trees. How long has he been there.

"I'm sorry. I was there for about two minutes. I heard Skylar talking and didn't want to interrupt."

"Or were you just scared?" Skylar smiles.

Eliza emerges a few seconds later, "Skylar quit being an idiot! Is getting a reaction out of someone necessary? No! It's absolutely childish. Quit it now!"

Next Ivy and Kyle show up. They just walked in instead of hiding behind trees like a crazy person.

"Look it's the neverlasting lovers," Skylar smirks.

"Shut up Skylar," I say.

Sunny and Cole show up from behind us.

"We got lost," Sunny says completely out of breath.

"That's everyone," I say pulling the clues and prophecy out of my bag. I read the prophesy.

The water gift is in your possession.
The project you have is long forgotten.
To stop the floods we have told you about.
You have never seen them until now.
Now you have seen what we can do.
Obey because our power is true.
Learn as swift as possible
Or the streets we have will be uncrossable.
The slower you go the more you will lose.
Stop the floods with the clues
The forest possesses
The moon will choose.
Place them on the stone
Let the sun shine down but never alone.
The fire will be by its side.
Beside the fire ice provides
The cold to freeze the wind that blows
Through the plants.
No time at all.
Stay within your galaxy
Beware of betrayal that the eye can't see
Or all will end drastically.

"First we need to place the correct clues on the stone."

"Sebastian," Sunny sighs, "we needed him."

"Now what?!" I throw my hands up in frustration.

Skylar smiles, "You can use something he created with his powers and it will work just fine."

Sunny unclasps her necklace and hands it to me. "Will this work?"

"I think so," I say. I set the necklace down and put the correct clues on top of it. I remember the clue Luna was uncertain about. "Luna, the clue you weren't sure about
Nothing will end well.
Friends die, most are killed
The secrets they have kept from you
Die long before they are ill
Water swallows all the new
It was all because of you."

"True," she says quietly. I set that clue down as well.

Let the sun shine down but never alone.
The fire will be by its side.
Beside the fire ice provides
The cold to freeze the wind that blows
Through the plants.
No time at all.
Stay within your galaxy
Beware of betrayal that the eye can't see
Or all will end drastically.

"Sunny, stand next to Cole. Blake, stand on the other side of Cole." They do as I say. Cole and Blake glare at each other. "Kyle, stand next to Blake. Ivy, next to Kyle. Eliza, is there a possibility you can stop time?"

"Yeah. I can," she answers.

"Skylar, I need you to put a galaxy around all of us. I need you and Eliza next to each other." Luna, stand by me.

Everyone obeys. How did it come this fast?

"Everyone preform your specific gift in 3," oh no, "2," beware betrayal the eye can't see. What if-? "1!" It's too late now.

The next few moments are beautiful. The wind, the stars, the flowers, the light. It's the most lovely thing I have ever seen. A blinding flash of light occurs and I am knocked off my feet. When I stand up I see everyone else is doing the same. The blast was powerful. The next event was not something I expected. Two boys, about our ages, are next to the necklace. There is a tall blond boy and a slightly shorter brunette boy. They are in medieval armor. This is weird. Skylar begins laughing. I look for her and eventually see her sitting on a tree branch. She must have teleported.

"You are idiots! Stop floods! Why would you be asked to do that? You are all so gullible. That was never the plan!"

The blond boy unsheathes a sword

"If you don't tell us what's happening...
