The girl jumped carfully from one branch to another. She was persuing the intruders. She didn't know how they got in, but she was ditermined to find out. "Are you sure we're going in the right direction Akio?" The one  of the girls asked, tuning to one of the boys. "Positive, the signal is leading us straight to it." Before the girl could answer the other male spoke up. "Uh guys, whats that?" The girl in the tree looked up and silently gasped. They've reached the castle, how? Why aren't the diffences up? Why isn't the illusion working? The girl sighed and summoned a portal that would take her to the castle. This will be a long day.

Kaya watched as Solra and Akio took the lead again. She and her twin brother, Kai, trailed behind. They had all been trapped in the strage world after discovering a crystal only they seemed to be able to touch. Kaya had only agreed to the journey in hopes of finding a way out, but now Kaya stood, gasping at the sight.

A beautiful castle, with an overgrown style, yet still trimmed lay in the valley of an gigantic mountain range. It had limestone accents and stood as if it had been there since the beginning. "Woah." Akio gasped as they slowly made their way towards the castle.

Once entering we finally started to get suspicious. The lights in the castle were already lit footsteps could be heard. They each pulled out  their weapons, Kaya's lance sliceing the air. The footsteps stopped, then Kaya heard it. Something came rushing at me from the shadows, pinning me down and holding a blade to my neck. Then Kaya gasped. A girl with a mask that coverd her face had pinned her down, and seemed ready to kill her. "STOP!" Kai yelled out, terror in his voice. "We mean no harm, so please, don't hurt us." The girl carefully gets off, her auburn hair swaying. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" The girl asked, pointing her spear at Solra. "Oh! Um, I'm Solra. This is Kai, Kaya, and Akio. Were here because of these weird crystals. " The girl semed startled. "Potallium Crystals? How?"  This time Akio answerd. "We don't know. But, may I ask who you are?" Kaya was amazed at how straightforward the boy was. "Well, since the castle hasn't killed you yet, I guess I can." The girl said as she took off her mask revealing soft lavender eyes and interestingly died hair. "My name is Dawn, Gaurdian of the Hub. Nice to meet you."
