At the office

It was around five in the morning, the three followed Apollo Bamford through the school. They could see a bunch the Police and a reporter reporting the incident on the news and the remains of the ceremony, destroyed, some of the ministry officials were there.

They went to the first years block, they passed Miss Donna whose face turned into a sneer as she pushed her cart away.

They entered his office.

"Sit three of you," he ordered and they say in the three seats in front of his desk.

It was obvious they were in trouble.

Apollo sat and looked at them for a while.

"I don't believe you three were in there, you could have being stuck there for a hundred years, you could have died, why will you do such a thing?" Apollo scolded, they were silent with heads bowed until Elliot spoke up.

"Sir we had to do it,we were the only people able to stop it,we couldn't risk Wilder getting to the heart,we stopped him,we saved countless lives," Elliot spoke up.

" Wilder?" said Apollo a bit suprised.

" Yes, he tried to steal the heart, but he is dead now," and replied Elliot.

Apollo taught for a while "I can agree with you, I knew he was not good from the start, how did you manage to stop him?" Apollo asked.

"Many ways sir," said Radley reluctantly.

" How did you manage to enter the chamber, with the three leads right?" asked Apollo.

They could not answer, they knew he got them there.

" A certain somebody helped us," said Andromeda and Elliot and Radley looked at her.

" Someone special with abilities," said Andromeda and looked back.

Apollo thought again.

"I was supposed to punish you but-on the contrary, you helped to save lives you should be proud of yourselves, not many people will do such a thing and be able to tell the tale," said Apollo.The three smiled weakly.

"But it is not advisable to do such a thing,you may have been lucky once,you showed bravery that not even every vermist could display," said Apollo.

" I don't know how you knew about the heart of centuries, it's was a legend most principals never believed but I did one time and i tried to destroy it just like you did but I wanted the leads so badly to do it, but this flying friend of yours and you three did what i couldn't do," said Apollo and smiled and that was the first time they saw him smile for real 

" And for that I'm letting you off the hook on one condition, that you should not tell anyone, heroism is best

kept secret, promise?" asked Apollo and The three nodded in affirmation.

"I'm keeping the souvenirs you got for now especially that sword for now, I don't know what to say now Wilder is dead, might as well keep it a secret as well," Apollo said "you can go." They stood up and as they were leaving, Apollo saw a leather book in his bag and called him back as they left. 

Apollo came to him and took the book " What, this is the Oliver Wit's diary, how did you get this?" asked Apollo. 

" Um, in a random shelf in the library," replied Elliot. 

Apollo looked at him " No wonder you knew about the heart, your curiosity is something else," He brought a book out of a shelf with vermoe, it was the book Elliot saw Apollo with.

"This was a book I found on earth. I took it because it belongs to the school. I'm from the ministry in charge of keeping kelper things secret from earth," said Apollo and put a golden quill in it.

 Elliot was shocked,that was the book he saw in the museum and it looked a lot like Oliver wit's book. 

" This is the real diary of Oliver wit, this book helped me a lot last year and this year, it had many things written on it, all his adventures, about the heart of centuries," Apollo looked at Elliot's version of diary and saw some pages were torn out " yours must be a copy, people were after these things during his time,"

 Apollo showed him the rest of the pages " It said that the heart had the power to grant people's will, Wilder wanted power and he gained it, but Oliver wanted a school and it was made in a day, and he also wanted to hide the heart at all cost, so the clever thing he did, since the blue moon comes every century, he made the heart to make the blue moon to be forgotten by who ever sees it and it will never be seen on camera or getting reliable proof, making it just a myth and not what it seems..." said Apollo.

" Making the path to finding the heart harder," said Elliot.

" Bingo, he also knew that someone will eventually find it. So he drew this," Apollo smiled and showed him a picture of a flying kid looking more like Cometwave along with three kids against a huge shadowy abomination.

Elliot was quite suprised, this were some pages that were torn out from the diary he had.

" The universe has a peculiar way of doing things Elliot and it chose students, that is to show everything can be possible. Why do you think that I came to look for you three? Wilder left everything for power and now he has lost everything."

Apollo kept the two books in his shelves.

" I also know, I messed up. I shouldn't have put you in surveillance, I was just afraid and overreacting, I'm so sorry," said Apollo earnestly.

" Oh, okay," said Elliot, not knowing how it's like to get apologies from a principal.

 Apollo sat on his chair " I don't know where your friend got a katana from but I'll keep it she is old enough, you can go."

Elliot was about to go " Elliot remember one thing,every experience is a lesson, keep that in mind," said Apollo.

"Thanks?" said Elliot and left.

It was a Saturday, that meant no school.

People were not having a full idea of what happened last night, they noticed that they had photos and group photos in front of nothing, just blank sky, leaving them in great confusion.

 By then, the reporters and the police left, after asking questions. Overall, nobody knows about the sapphire moon at all.

Elliot met his friends at the quadrangle around late morning.

"Hey Elliot what did Apollo tell you?"

asked Andromeda.

"Apollo... Apollo told me some things understand, adult stuff. He will give you the sword when the time comes," said Elliot.

"Yes," rejoiced Andromeda.

" Do you believe that nobody knows about seeing blue moon?" said Radley a bit confused.

" Yeah, but how do we know about it?" asked Andromeda.

" Actually, I don't remember how it looks like," said Elliot earnestly.

" Me too," replied Radley.

" But we know it exist," said Andromeda.

Radley gave a sigh of relief " Thank goodness, I'm not going to be the odd one out." 

Elliot sat with them.

"I don't get something, Wilder always kept referring to he and that he will resurrect his master and the last word he told me was venio," said Elliot "what could that mean?"

Radley and Andromeda looked at each other with a raised eyebrow.

"We don't know but when the time comes,we will be ready for it, especially now you have superpowers, don't think we forgot that," said Radley gave him a mild punch.

"Yeah it's over we stopped Wilder we stopped the heart so his plans have failed," said Andromeda optimistic.

Elliot looked satisfied by their answer.

"I guess now we are heros," Elliot smiled.

" Yeah, I guess we are," Andromeda smiled.

" Too bad nobody will know about it," said Radley.

" Who wants to have another adventure?" asked Andromeda teasingly and they responded 

" No way."

" We almost died."

" I knew you guys were always chickens," teared Andromeda.

" You could have seen your face when you thought Elliot was dead," said Radley and laughed.

" I didn't, I was just been considerate," Andromeda frowned but Radley's laugh made her to laugh and also Elliot.

Later,in the dining hall during dinner, students were eating when Apollo came to the podium to make an announcement " Good evening all, since today, you have been wondering what happened last night. Let me tell you in details. Something peculiar happened that many will not believe it is something supernatural that would have ended the whole world. But all of that was stopped by three fearless students like you. Not even powerful vermists would have stopped it, if not of them, we would not be living now," Apollo shot a warm look at Elliot, Radley and Andromeda who started feeling good for what they did though many people did not believe what Apollo said. 

Even though nobody knows except for Apollo they felt glad they saved lives.

The experience at the chamber made them to be very best friends than ever.

" Breaking news,

 This week proves that the theory of the famous scientist Hilarius Wilder is false but on the 15th of January, many videos and photos in the web talks about the blue moon. Some people call it the Mandela effect, some say it was the greatest illusion pulled in history but we are yet to find out the reason for this mystery.

Other news, Hilarius Wilder hasn't been seen for two weeks, some claim he is dead. Investigation goes nowhere because there isn't any trace of him." 

The academic year ended well for them.

Andromeda got the best results of the first years and Radley and Elliot got good results too.

Radley got medals from swimming competitions.

Elliot sometimes will always be Cometwave doing good in Unity city and it made him a well known superhero in the mystery world.

In the night before departure, Elliot decided to pay Zyaire a visit.

Zyaire was washing the dishes and he felt a presence " Elliot, so how was it like to get powers?" 

" How do you know?" asked Elliot and sat on the sofa.

Zyaire turned back " I'm an aliqua, I know everything also, the news talks about a superhero," replied Zyaire.

Elliot smiled " long time no see then."

" Yeah, I heard tomorrow is your departure," said Zyaire and Elliot nodded.

" So your gonna meet your parents," said Zyaire and Elliot paused before he said " yeah."

Zyaire spread his wings " how about we talk about it while we are in the sky, I bet I'm faster," he said.

" You wish," Elliot smiled and transformed to Cometwave.

" First on to the peak of gremworld," said Zyaire but Cometwave flew out before him.

Zyaire shook his head and flew with him.

Soon,it was time for departure.

After some few announcements at the dining hall they were good to go.

Elliot, Radley and Andromeda were infront of the dining hall building.

"I guess it's the end of the academic year," said Andromeda.

" I hope you have the turtle com I gave you two," said Radley.

Elliot held the turtle com and waved it.

Andromeda looked at her wrist watch "I have to go,my parents are probably waiting for me," she took her luggage and gave them one last look "bye then," she dragged her luggage and left.

"I won't be going early to atlantis I'm going in the evening," Radley sighed.

Elliot turned and saw Elizabeth stopping to tie her shoes.

Elliot stared at her for a while.

"I guess you want to tell her something," said Radley behind him.

Elliot nodded slowly.

"Then tell her,it might be your only opportunity left," said Radley, gave Elliot an encouraging pat

"Okay," Elliot came to her, Elizabeth turned to see Elliot.

"Um, Elizabeth I just wanted to say, sorry for ditching you on that day," said Elliot.

"It's okay I'm over it," said Elizabeth.

"May I ask,do you mind if we can start over and we could be friends,"asked Elliot.

Elizabeth paused and turned " We will see , next academic year then. I need to go, all PE students are to go now remember?" Elizabeth took her luggage and hurried to the gate.

Elliot turned to Radley and he gave him a nod "you heard her go!"

Elliot took his luggage " Bye Radley," he said and Radley waved back.

Elliot went out of the gate,he saw Poprifus rounding up pe students into the bus.

"What are you waiting for get yourself in here," Poprifus said aloud.

Elliot took his luggage and ran quickly Into the bus.

All the PE students went through the barrier home.

Later, Elliot was in No.15 Presslane on his bed staring into the ceiling in thought.

He was glad that he made a decision to come here,this was the best year of his life, also the most painful year of his life.

He made friends with an Aliqua.

He learnt new things like vermoe, bizarre mutations, astrology and others. 

When others couldn't know what he was going through,he will remember the friends who did.

There might be many things awaiting him in school in September,but for now he would say"I can't wait."
