Lost Light In Lithonia

Everyone was standing behind Farah. All their eyes are now on the light flowers. Farah closed her eyes before accessing her power inside her.

Her whole body started glowing and she started floating. Her huge wings then appeared and she started chanting, "solvinira deoniro, felinicia telamina."

A smooth beam of light started invading the whole land. It traveled on every part of Lithonia and once it's done, it turned into smaller balls of light and floated up to the sky.

"We lost Lithonia today, but that doesn't mean we already lost, we still have a chance, we will fight, we have to be ready," said Farah and turned to her team.

Aexis raised her Charkram and spoke, "for Lithonia." The others as well raised their weapon as a sign of showing love of the land.

"Aexis, if you please, take your army to Erthano for the moment, let's evacuate there all the people," Farah said and Aexis nodded as a response.

Aexis then turned her gaze to general Lhaian and, General Ravish, "Generals, lead the army to the land of Erthano, will you?" she asked and the two general nodded.

The two generals then went ahead and lead the army to Erthano. All was left outside the land of Lithonia are, Farah, Oxoluz, Thalia, Aexis, Soleil, and Leviant. "What now?" Thalia asked as all of them look at the empty sight of Lithonia.

Farah turned her gaze to everyone and painted a smile before speaking, "follow me." Farah said and started walking. The others then followed Farah.

After a few minutes of walking, Farah took them in a hidden catacomb in Lithonia that even Aexis didn't knew it existed. "I can't believe this place even existed in my life. I didn't even know," said Aexis as she use her power as the one who gives light in the dark path.

"In each land, there is a hidden catacomb," Farah began telling another story she should've told sooner.

"In each catacomb in every land, I have hid a weapon, and that weapon can help us win against Ysandria's forces," she added and the path ended.

In front of them now lies a wall and on it, there was a Phoenix engraved on the stone. Farah raised her hand and the Phoenix carved on the stone suddenly glow and the stone turned into dust. "These weapons, aren't weapons for battle, they are wisdom given by your own parents. Skills that they have mastered and this time, it is your turn to master them," Farah finished and smiled.

"Aexis, enter the room alone," Farah said and Aexis took a deep breath before following Farah's instruction. Exactly after she entered the room, the stone suddenly went back which trapped Aexis inside.

It was pitch black inside. She can't see anything nor she knows where she currently stands. She tried using her magic but she can't.

Leviant looked at Farah and spoke, "what just happened?" He tried breaking down the stone using his metal fan but he couldn't.

Farah stopped Leviant and spoke, "this is a test for Aexis alone for her to be worthy of the knowledge that is now in front of her," Farah explained and turned her gaze to the others as well.

"She has to do this alone for her to be truly worthy of that magic. I want all of you to be ready, you will face as well the same path so prepare yourself," Farah added and she saw both bravery and fear in all of the leaders' eyes.

A smile then painted in Farah's lips and then she spoke, "it's alright to be afraid of the dark. It's alright to be weak, always have been alright, but what's not alright is living it when you know deep down you can do it. That there is a voice inside you, ready to roar, all you need is bravery."

Aexis closed her eyes inside the room for she can't see even a slightest of light or anything. Then she suddenly heard a voice of a woman. "Light isn't just about taking away the darkness around you, but making your own reality."

She didn't know what it actually meant, nor she doesn't know what to do. She played the voice inside her head again a few times and finally she realize what it meant. She has to test her powers to the limit.

"Create my own reality," she whispered to herself and then she heard a reply from a woman, "correct. You control light, you create a whole reality of your own."

Aexis took a deep breath before closing her eyes. She focused her mind on the reality she wants. She emptied her mind and focused on the slightest details.

She was thinking of the throne room. That she is standing in the middle of the throne room. She flicked her finger and used her magic even though she thinks it doesn't work.

The moment she opened her eyes, the place wasn't dark anymore, she is in the throne room and an old woman is standing in front lf her. The old woman spoke, "congratulations, you manage to control light that it controls you."

Aexis nodded and closed her eyes and think about the door. With her eyes closed she moved and touch a certain wall. The wall then turned into dust.

She opened her eyes and she did it. "You found the lost light of Lithonia," said Farah and smiled at Aexis.

"What happened inside actually, Aexis?" Thalia asked and Aexis used her power to demonstrate what wisdom she have received from the hidden room.

She turned the path into a garden and everyone was amazed. It was so realistic that they didn't thought of it as a dark path. Though a sigh still escaped Aexis's mouth.

Farah then pat Aexis's shoulder, she said, "we'll bring Lithonia back and all of Gazaria."

Aexis nodded and smiled at Farah. All of them then continued walking and left the hidden catacomb. They took a last sight of the barren land of Lithonia.

"We'll bring back Gazaria— Together." Farah said, and all together they nodded.

A lone tear escaped from Ellenia's eyes as she watch all of the leaders united, in her cauldron. "I'm losing hope that there would be a change in out legacy."
