The sky was pure black, for the sun never shined to give the glorious rays of glimmering sunlight, it had to offer. The place only had a view of darkness, pain and death. The air was unbreathable and the ground was rigid with dirt as dark as the sky above and lifeless plants. The ponds were full of only deadly poison instead of beautiful spring water.

This was Bladgon, the Dark Valley that lies deep and far in Orenda's vicinity. If one were to have the courage to further travel in the area they would find a castle. Black paint covering the walls, spiked towers and three headed dogs guarding the castle entrance. Although unlike the castle made for the elements, this one was about half its size, yet it's still fairly large inside.

When traveling deep within the halls of the castle one would find a huge gray door. It led into a dark room with only a large black throne present with skull decorations for the armrest. Sitting upon it was a woman who merely appeared to be in her twenties, though her actual age was far greater than that. She wore a dark purple dress that stopped around her knees with long black boots and black gloves. Her hair was black and fell to the middle of her back but curled at the ends. Her eyes were a dark shade of green and easily showed her one desire: revenge. Bloodlust.

The malicious woman crossed her legs and placed her right arm on the armrest, allowing a sinister smile to spread across her lips.

"My dear sister, trying to train the elements early as a backup plan when your barrier falls, huh? I'd applaud your efforts if they weren't so pathetic," the woman spoke aloud to herself. " The moment that light barrier crumbles I'll come to kill you all. Fortunately it is already growing weak."

"Adriana." said a voice in the slight distant.

"What, Thantonis!" Adriana yell viciously, obvious not interested i'm speaking to him at the moment.

"If you keep yelling and talking to yourself like that, you'll surely go insane- oh wait." Thantonis remarked sarcastically.

Adriana glared at her sardonic familiar. In her left hand she created an orb of dark magic and shot at him, causing him to fly and hit the wall. Before he could fall back to the ground, she turn into a shadow and pinned her black canine to the wall; holding him up by the neck.

(This is supposed to be Thantonis...)

"Are you here just to insult me? Because in that case I can hit you with a more vital attack," Adriana said creating another orb but much larger.

"Yes I came here just so I can get beat up." he retorted rolling his eyes," What do you take me for? A Dumba**?"

Adriana release her grasp. Thantonis fell to the ground. " If you didn't have the ability to resurrect within two months, I would've killed you."

"Regardless, we both know you would never do that, especially after what I did to help you back then."

"Ugh, why are you here?"

"I came here to inform you that your puppets are nearing completion, especially the one with the special ability."

"How Splendid."

Stellina was heading out to observe how well each element was doing in their training. However, as she walked from inside the castle through the garden, she got a massive headache. Her vision went blurry and the feeling of weariness consumed her. She fell onto her knees, barely conscious. With her right hand she used it to attend to her throbbing head.

"I didn't want to do it, Believe Me! But I had too!

"So you're all against me now."

All she could see now were vivid images and hear the voices from past events.

"I hate you!!!"

"Adriana stop this!"

"I'll Kill You All!!!"

Those last words. They repeat over and over, echoing in her head like a broken record; until it sounded almost demonic.

"I'll Kill You All!!!"

"I'll Kill You All!!!"

"I'll Kill You!!!"

"I'LL KiLL YoU!!!"

"I'LL KILL-"

And before Stellina knew it, she passed out.
