silenced by the stare. âExcuse me, Kit, but I have helped Young Guardian understand the meaning of the Dream Realm. I have also stayed a true friend throughout this. Do not include me in your selfish thoughts.â
Kit cowered away. She didnât feel very good now. She seemed to do everything wrong since she returned home. âSorry, Kat. I guess I forgot.â
âListen to us.â Toby pointed out. âWe are fighting each other when we are supposed to be fighting Sabrina. Think of what Lord Max would say.â
âToby has a point.â Wolf said softly. He turned to his tiger feline friend. âYou really care about beating her, donât you?â
âAye,â Toby nodded. âI want her to pay for her mistakes.â He kissed Kit on the nose, making her purr. âI almost lost my darling Kittenâs Claw.â
âTrue,â Wolf pulled Katherine close to him. âI, too, almost lost Katherine.â
âWell, what now, Kat?â Kit asked her sister. âIt is your plan.â
âAye,â Katherine sighed. âLet us go to the Sisters.â â
Chapter Forty-Seven:
Outer Realm Crusaders
The Companions were in front of the Ancient Mystic Sisters Palace doors in no time. Wolf rang the chimes and a friendly Challandra opened the door.
âWelcome back Companions!â Challandra hugged them happily. âCome inside.â
Katherine and Kittenâs Claw took the arms of their beaus, letting the boys escort them inside.
âWhat can we do for you?â Challandra asked them as they sat.
Kit nudged her sister. Katherine stood and faced her timidly. âWe wish a small, uh, favor from you, if we may.â
Enchantra entered the room then. âWhat kind of favor, Katherine Hawk?â
âWe: Wolf, Toby, Kit, and I, wish to Crusade to the Outer Realm.â Katherine began, looking at Wolf anxiously.
âTo help the Earthbound Crusaders fight Sabrina.â Wolf spoke up.
The Sisters looked at each other. âWhy?â Challandra crossed her arms.
âWe believe we shall be a valuable asset to the Crusade, MâLady.â Kit spoke up, trying her best to convince them. She knelt to them and lowered her eyes to prove her loyalty.
The Companions waited and watched as the Ancient Mystic Sisters silently conversed.
âWhat do you think, Sister?â Enchantra replied with a smile. âDo you think these Companions are worthy of such a thing?â
âAye. I do believe they are courageous enough to handle such an enormous power.â Challandra grinned at the Companions.
The four of them were ecstatic.
The Sisters nodded to each other, and motioned for the Companions to follow them to the Ancient Mystic Mirror room.
âCompanions, we entrust you with the power of being Earthbound.â Challandra told them. âUse it wisely, or you will never be able to use it again.â She turned to her sister, taking Enchantraâs hand.
Enchantra and Challandra both waved a hand in front of the Mirror. âSister Mistress Sibylline, we call upon you. As an Originator, we ask you to help us grant these Companions the power to be Earthbound.â
A booming female voice was heard from inside the mirror. Sibylline, with her long black hair and magic garb, glowed with a Magic Staff in her hands. âCompanions, I shall help grant your wish. Raise your right hands and repeat after me.â
Kittenâs Claw, Katherine, Wolf, and Tobias knew to listen when Sibylline spoke.
Sibylline continued from inside the Mirror. When she glanced at the Hawk twins, her gaze was reminiscent. âAs an Earthbound Companion,â Sibylline replied.
âAs an Earthbound Companion.â They chanted after her.
âI will keep this world a secret from those who do not know of it, and hope that those who do are confidants.â Ancient Sibyllineâs staff glowed, and the Companions repeated her words to the letter, captivated by the Staffâs glow.
When they were finished, Sibylline commanded lightly to the Sisters. âGive them the jewels.â
Enchantra held out her hand and four different necklaces appeared, with four separate jewels. âKatherine, I give you the Ruby Amulet, with the power of premonition.â Katherine purred as Enchantra placed it around her bowed head.
âMerci, Mistress Enchantra. I will cherish this forever.â
Enchantra turned to Kittenâs Claw, who also bowed. âKittenâs Claw, you have shown us and Dream Realm you can be good once again. For that, I give you the White Crystal Amulet, with the power of telekinesis.â
âThank you, Madam Enchantra.â Kit replied softly as Enchantra placed it around her neck.
Kit stepped back and it was Wolfâs turn.
âWolf Stargazer, with your boundless courage during the Crusade, I give you the Amethyst Diamond Amulet, with the power of speed and agility.â
âI am truly in your debt, Enchantra.â Wolf closed his eyes as he bowed his head to receive the amulet.
Toby looked up and nervously stepped up to Enchantra.
âTobias White-Snow, how could we forget?â Enchantra assured him with a smile. âWith your friendship to Wolf, you have given all Companions reason to call a truce between rivaling families.â She placed the last necklace around his neck, and he was speechless. âBecause of your heroism, I give you the Emerald Amulet, with the power of the Unicorn.â
âMerci, Enchantra.â He managed to whisper, knowing the significance and power of Unicorn Magic. âSpeaking for us all, we will take great care of this power, guarding it with our lives.â
âAye,â The others agreed.
âJust remember,â Challandra replied. âWhenever you wish to return home, all you have to do is close your eyes and think of us.â
âAye,â They chorused once again.
âQuickly, Companions.â Challandra replied, urgent. âWe are losing time.â
Toby stared at the locket he wore. âHow do we use the Amulets?â
âTake each otherâs hands, close your eyes, and chant.â Challandra answered.
Katherine smiled. âJust as Young Guardian chants to visit?â
Enchantra nodded. âDo you remember her words?â
Katherine thought for a moment. âJoin hands.â
Kit folded her arms. âWho made you leader?â
Kat stared angrily at her twin sister. âI know more about the Outer Realm than you.â
âKit,â Enchantra warned.
Kit sighed, giving in. âVery well.â She took both her sisterâs and Tobyâs hands.
Toby took one of hers and Wolfâs, who in turn took Katherineâs.
âGo ahead, my love.â Wolf whispered.
The Companions closed their eyes, and Katherine began to chant.
âWe are Dream Realm Companions four,
âTake us to Young Guardianâs door.â
Within seconds, the four Companions had indeed traveled from the Dream Realm to Young Guardianâs doorstep in the Outer Realm.
The Sisters stared at each other.
âI sure hope you are correct in this assumption, sister.â Challandra warned, returning to tend her garden around the Palace.
âWhen have I ever been wrong?â Enchantra asked her with a grin, following. âBesides, the four of them have potential to be something more, once this is all over.â
âWhat makes you say that?â Challandra asked her, picking up her trowel.
Enchantra held her hand out and produced a magic white glowing ball. âA feeling is all.â
âWhat I have a feeling of is that Young Wolf Stargazer is hiding something about his Banishment from us.â Challandra scratched her nose.
Her sister took that as sign of trouble. Enchantra went back inside, thinking of Challandraâs statement.
An image within the glowing ball caught her eye and she threw it into the air, making it float.
She saw Young Wolf Stargazer talking with a gargoyle.
She recognized the creature immediately: it was the former Lord Maximaniac.
What was he up to? Enchantra wondered.
She would soon find out.â
Chapter Forty-Eight:
Desperate Measures
It was dark, so the Companions were relieved.
Katherine tried the door, and found it was unlocked. She turned the knob and led them inside quietly.
âWhoâs there?â They heard a voice call.
A light overhead was turned on, and the Companions froze, seeing a woman resembling an older, darker-haired Young Guardian.
Susan Woods stared at the harmless, but strange-looking intruders. Three cats â two Balinese and a Tiger â and a Timber Wolf. They looked remarkably out of place in the Outer Realm, but she smiled at them. âCompanions.â She replied, closing the door behind them. âCome in. Tell me about your trip.â
Katherine was the one to speak first. She knew Susan from the Dream Realm, as well for being Young Guardianâs mother. âSister Susan, it is truly important we speak with Young Guardian.â
âMother? Whatâs going on?â They heard another voice from the staircase. It was Ariana herself. She yawned and placed her glasses on her face.
Her mother never got the chance to say anything, and Susan knew it.
When Ariana spotted her childhood friend, she gasped, hugging her. âKat! How did you guys get here?â
She noticed the necklaces and deduced. âDid the Sisters give these to you?â
Wolf shook his head after bowing and hugging her as well. âNay, Mistress Sibylline did.â
âShe entrusted us with them, so we can help you defeat Sabrina.â Toby replied. âIn case you do not remember me, I am Toby White-Snow, Kittyâs love.â
âI remember, Toby.â Ariana replied softly. âCome, sit down.â
She led the Companions to the couch in the living room.
Susan, who had been watching the scene in silence, knew how important this was to her daughter. âIâm heading back to bed, dear. Tell me what happens before your father and I leave with your siblings in the morning.â Susan kissed her head and Ariana nodded.
âGood night, Mother.â She turned back to her friends.
âWhere are they going?â Katherine asked curiously.
âJust out of our hair for a while.â Ariana smiled at her. âShe says they should stay away from the house until the Crusadeâs over. I think she knows whatâs going on, and neither Luna nor I have been able to tell her.â
âThatâs Sister Susan for you.â Toby grinned. âShe always knows what is going to happen before it does.â
âI hate to interrupt Young Guardian, but we must hurry.â Wolf replied seriously. âSabrina and Damian are plotting against the Crusaders.â
âDamian?â Ariana asked. âHow?â
Kit told her what happened with Damian and Luna a few weeks ago. âHe overheard Uncle Orthos talking to Grand Psycho and Sabrina, giving them pieces of the Dominionite Crystal.â
Katherine nodded. âAye. He has always been jealous of her. Who knows what Damian has in mind, let alone Sabrina with the Crystal segments?â
âWe must stop them before it is too late.â Kit continued abruptly, her voice a little too loud for Arianaâs ears.
âKit, please calm down.â
âI mean no disrespect, Young Guardian, but no, I will not calm down.â Kit continued, softer this time. âAfter what uncle Orthos has done to us, I want revenge of the worst kind â his total annihilation.â
âI understand, Kittenâs Claw, really I do.â Ariana replied sadly. âYour evil uncle had done some pretty disgusting things to me, not to mention this Realmâs Dreamers. I wouldnât doubt if he planned all the pain from the beginning.â
Katherine purred sadly. Wolf growled, and Toby and Kit hissed.
âHe must be stopped.â Toby replied.
âNot at this moment, he doesnât.â Ariana replied. âItâs too late. Weâll discuss this in the morning. In the meantime, youâll have to change your images.â
The Companions wore identical looks of confusion.
âWhat do you mean?â Katherine asked.
âIâm sorry to say it, but the Outer Realm doesnât have talking cats and dogs.â Ariana began with a grin that seemed to relax them all. âYou have to somehow change your images to Earthbound Mortals, even if you have special powers.â
âHow do we do it?â Wolf asked.
âDo you think you can do as Sister Luna had done in your rescue?â Kit asked, brightening up. âJust point and wish?â
Ariana shrugged, standing. âI donât see why not.â She thought out loud.
The Companions stood as well, and watched as she closed her eyes, pointing with both palms as she chanted.
âCompanions four, I give you this hour,
âA very special immortal power.
âClose your eyes, imagine this place,
âWhat you wish
Kit cowered away. She didnât feel very good now. She seemed to do everything wrong since she returned home. âSorry, Kat. I guess I forgot.â
