'Violet, you're doing great!' Scarlett cried.
Violet had been defending the City of Light for two hours without stopping. Some beings had started to falter an hour and a half ago. The Dark Force had killed three Light Force beings already, but the Dark Force had lost quite a few. Violet looked a bit tired, but she carried on defending. Some Dark Force beings had been lead into the river nearby, thanks to Scarlett.
'Thanks, Scarlett. You are too!'
Just then, a yellow ray got to Violet, making her falter and start to fall. Note that she was very high up.
'Violet! No!' Scarlett screamed.
The cloaked woman heard Scarlett's scream.
'Is it alright if I go and rescue Violet? Will you be able to manage?' She asked.
'Yeah, sure!' Archer replied. Soldiers were already beating some of the Dark Force beings off, anyway.
The cloaked woman flew over to where Violet was falling. If she wasn't rescued soon, she'd fall into the river.
Archer was struggling now. She kept hitting, but more Dark Force beings got through. It was tough. The battle was becoming tense. Archer's fingers ached. With one last arrow, she fell out of the tree, exhausted. She couldn't help but close her eyes...
The cloaked woman was now feeling tense. If she didn't catch Violet in time, she'd drown.
Here's my one and only chance...
She thought.
She flew up and held her arms out and Violet fell into them.
'I just had to return the favor.' She said. Violet smiled.
Just then, two Dark Force hunters came and snatched Violet and the cloaked woman. Scarlett just managed to fly off. Violet and the cloaked woman got captured.
A while later, Archer, Violet and the cloaked woman found themselves in the Dark Force cavern. Queen Widow appeared in front of them.
'Ah, the three Light Force losers who my men snatched.' Widow said. 'You're not the only Light Force people to arrive. Sky is here, locked in a cell because she couldn't make up her mind.'
Archer, Violet and the cloaked woman gasped.
'No!' Violet cried. 'It can't be!' She tried to get away but the cuffs on her hands were pulling her back down again. Her blue eyes went grey in despair.
Widow ordered her soldiers to take Archer, Violet and the cloaked woman to the same cell as Sky.
'Hi.' Princess Sky said quietly when the soldiers had gone.
Violet was still sobbing and Archer was annoyed. The cloaked woman looked over at the other three girls. This was their worst nightmares - to be trapped by the Dark Force. It was hers as well, and the girls still didn't know who she was!
'Girls.' The cloaked woman whispered. 'There's something I need to tell you.'
Violet, Archer and Sky looked over at the cloaked woman. She held Violet close to comfort her.
'You know that my identity has been hidden through all my time here from the other day. Now that we're all in danger, and we're not being watched, perhaps I should really show myself.
'I know all of you already. Archer, you let me in and we both defended the attack. Violet, you helped me up when I tripped over and I returned that favor a while ago.' Violet snuffled and blushed.
'Sky, I know you are next in line for the throne, but you're also a good fighter.' Sky looked shocked. How on earth did she know?
The three girls were still wondering who the cloaked woman was. The cloaked woman took her hood down. Her brunette hair was short and brown. It looked VERY familiar.
Then, the cloaked woman stood up. Violet stepped back.
'It is time,' she said. 'to reveal who is behind this cloak.'
She took the cloak off. The girls were shocked.
The woman had the most beautiful wings of yellow and gold, and they shone with the sunlight coming through the cell window. Her dress was quite short and white, with gold patterns on the bottom. Her shoes were white ballet slippers, but enchanted to keep them from getting spoiled.
The girls realized who the cloaked woman was.
'Oh my word...' Violet burst into happy tears. The woman came and hugged Violet.
'Hello again, loyal friends.'
It was Wayfarer!
'I thought you were dead!' Sky said.
'That's why I felt safe with you around!' Archer smiled.
'I missed you!' Violet cried.
Wayfarer said that she had enough power to defeat Queen Widow and bust all four of them out and back to the fight. With a single ray, she blew down the bars.
'Come on, let's go!' She encouraged the other three.
Queen Widow was watching the battle from her magical orb. The army was nearly in the city, but some beings were still going strong.
'Soon, the Light Force will call me their master.' She laughed.
'Not on my watch, you're not!' Wayfarer came out of the shadows, along with Archer, Violet and Sky. 'Hello, Widow.'
Widow was shocked. She could not believe her eyes. Twilight came running from the shadows. She stopped when she saw Wayfarer. Twilight fainted.
'Wayfarer, I - I thought you were dead!' Widow stammered.
'You do know, I have enough power to defeat you and your army!' And with a single ray, Widow was on the floor, begging for mercy.
'Come on, girls. Let's go and join the fight!' Wayfarer shouted.
Scarlett was paranoid.
The attack was getting heavier, and magical beings were being sent to the hospital every moment. Dark clouds were coming over the City of Light. This was a bad sign.
Just then, the clouds parted to show a ray of light shining on the city. The wind blew in Scarlett's face and she saw four black figures. When they flew closer, she was shocked.
'Wayfarer!' She gasped and bowed. 'I am in your oath!' She called to her. Wayfarer smiled.
'Hold hands!' Wayfarer cried. The four girls held hands in a circle. Archer, Violet and Princess Sky knew that this was a combination charm.
'There's light in the darkest times and that is what we make!
' The four girls yelled. A massive ray of light went down on the Dark Force fighters. There was a massive cry, as the Dark Force was defeated. The survivors ran back to the City of Shadows.
Later, a massive feast was held for the return of Wayfarer and the victory against the Dark Force. There was happiness in the air and joy triumphed through the City of Light. Queen Ray tapped her goblet with her spoon, indicating for the magical beings to be quiet. The dining hall went silent.
'First, thanks to everyone who helped fight the Dark Force. Although you were hurt, we honor you.'
A cheer went around the hall.
'Next, I would like to welcome back and thank our very own Wayfarer, for rescuing three girls and helping to fight the Dark Force!'
A MASSIVE cheer went around the hall. Wayfarer smiled and waved.
'Also, I would like to honor three brave girls. My daughter, Princess Sky, a fighter, Archer and a magical being in training, Violet.'
A cheer just as big as Wayfarer's went around the hall. The girls smiled at each other and hugged.
Wayfarer was with the girls after the feast. The girls were rejoicing that she was back.
'You know, girls, I have some news.'
The girls looked at Wayfarer.
'Over the while we been together, even when I was cloaked, I realized something. I love all of you as friends and I am glad to be back.'
Wayfarer hugged the other three girls.
There was peace in the City of Light. The sun shone and the three girls knew the greatest power, stronger than a combination charm.
The power of LOVE.
