Chapter 6 - Mysteries

Laura - The Story of a Fairy, Chapter 6 - Mysteries

The fellowship around Laura and Amber had successful entered the planet Olwon. The travel through the ancient dimensional portal passed off without any problems, and so the group could continue their important mission, the mission to search for the disappeared creator, the true God of the whole universe, who nobody ever knew so far. Except the old man, of course, and the race of the unicorns, who seemed to play a more than mysterious role in the universe. Not to say, a suspicious one...

The fellowship had entered a whole unknown world now, of course. They did not know anything about the mysterious race of different plant creatures, which also had preferred a life on their own so far, only keeping low contact to the other races. There was a delegate of the Olwons in the council of guards, of course, but the other races always had respected the wish of the Olwons to other than that stay on their own...

Of course Laura had been here one time, not so long ago, on her long journey as Goddess to visit the worlds of her universe, but this short visit could not really help here now. The group was totally on their own and had to explore this world from the beginning...

As they had seen yet though the dimensional portal, before entering it, the first region to arrive in was a huge area of forest and mighty waterfalls. Really impressing, and their the group rested first...

The fellowship talked about their further way and how to continue then, also in relation to the Olwons, if they rather should be avoided or consulted for this mission. But the members of the fellowship were not in a agreement about this matter, and so it was Laura at last to speak to the others and make her decision...

Laura:
Well, let's do not waste time with useless discussions, my friends, but let me tell you my opinion. This is the world of the Olwons, and this race is fully integrated into the association of planets in this universe. Remember that they also have a delegate in the council of guards and took part at the gathering on Lauhaven. We will not delude them in any way. As soon as we meet Olwons here - and we won't hide here - they will be told about our mission and getting involved. At least as much as they want. We do respect their wishes, if they rather want to stay on the sideline, this is okay. But I guess we will need help here, and it's their world, they know it. So, if there is a possibility they may help us, then we will accept...

The other members of the group supported the suggestion of Laura, and so this advice was carried unanimously...

After this decision Laura started a little scenic flight herself. She wanted to explore the huge area from above, to get a first better overview. And it really was such a huge territory with forests and waterfalls all around. Laura could not see any ending from this point, except higher mountains, allying to this whole area in the further away horizon...

Finally Laura returned to the fellowship, as the sun already began to set. She reported to the group, that it seemed all the same in which direction to go, the nature stayed the same. And so they decided to spend the night at their current place and leave the next day southwards. Jofetus from the centaurs would keep guard first, and the others were lying down to sleep gradually, after they had a small dinner then...

 

 

It was some time in this night, as the other member of the group were sleeping, and Laura kept guard, a little bit apart from the group. She had changed her outfit a little bit, in order for sitting and keeping guard in the cool of the night. Very simple for a Goddess, of course, as she could change her clothes everywhere and every time within an instant. And she was just thinking about the current situation, as Amber woke up. She stood up and quietly went to Laura, then sitting down next to her. The two sisters began to talk a little bit, but of course only with whispering, in order not to wake up the sleeping other group members...

Amber:
Laura, please, tell me, do you think we do the right thing here? Perhaps we should not have simply entered this world without permission, and without any Olwon knowing? Would it perhaps been better to inform them before, and maybe all other planets we still have to visit on our way? I suddenly have some doubts in my heart...

Laura began to smile slightly...

Laura:
Good questions, sister, I had the same thoughts meanwhile. But it seemed so urgent to hurry, so we did not think about all aspects. But however, the decision is made now, we are here and we will continue. This is why I made my own decision, and when we meet Olwons here, we will speak with them boldly, not hiding anything. And I hope they will support us, as the journey on this planet will be very extensive, as it seems. Otherwise we may wander around here for weeks without finding anything...

Amber nodded with her head and sighed deeply...

Amber:
Yes, I also fear so, but now we must try to make the best of it. I also hope the Olwons will help us then...
 
Laura:
We will find out soon, Amber, for sure. And we will deal with every possible situation, as we have no choice. But for now, please, do me a favour, little sister, and try to sleep a little bit. We will all need our strengths for this long journey, especially as we are not used to such extensive wanderings. Also not as Goddesses...

Amber began to smile. She laid her hand onto the shoulder of her sister before answering her whispering...

Amber:
You are right, sister, and sometimes also a concerned mother, and so I will listen to you. I am going to sleep again...

Laura also began to smile satisfied then..

Laura:
Good sister, I love you...
 
Amber:
Only still one question, please. There is something important in my heart, a suspicion I carry inside, and I don't know what I shall believe now. Perhaps you can answer me?

Laura nodded with her head...

Laura:
Ask your question...
 
Amber:
It is about all of this. Our mission, the old man, the unicorns, this world - the whole thing since the old man told us this really surprising story. And since then it works inside of me...
Laura:
I may have a clue, but speak on...
 
Amber:
Okay, we have our information. But what, if things are not what they seam? What if we may even be misled? I remember those words of the creator, his last words that some things were not what they seamed. I can not forget this. But what if those words meant something whole different?
 
Laura:
Whole different? What do you mean, Amber?
 
Amber:
We all do believe those words point on a new danger from somewhere outside, any new bad force to raise somewhere. But what, if this isn't the point at all? What if the creator spoke about something whole different, and even something much more dangerous...?

Laura lowered her head now and did not say anything, as Amber silenced for some moments. She waited for the further words of her sister to come, but yet knowing exactly what she would say. Laura really knew better then she ever could wish to...

Amber:
You know about the behaviour of the unicorns as well as everybody else from us. We had always been told they are the oldest race in the universe, made by the creator first. But what I add, they look down on the rest of life precisely therefore, and nobody would really deny this. As long as we can think back they have always avoided contact with us as far as possible. And just before the grand war they suddenly disappeared, purportedly because of only being complete peaceful creatures - but what explanation should that be? They would leave their own live, all further life and the whole universe behind because they did not want to fight? So better all would be doomed than fighting on the site of light and heaven?

Amber paused shortly and Laura really could feel her anger. Then her sister continued whispering...

Amber:
No, Laura, the old man may tell us what he wants, but all of this makes no sense to me at all. I always had my trouble of believing this, but meanwhile I simply say - no, this is not the truth. I don't know, if the old man lied to us deliberately, or if he knew not better. But something here is totally wrong, and this is for sure. I may be in a small body, but I am a Goddess too, just like you. I know what I fell, and I do not allow anybody to deceive me. And I no longer keep quiet about this, but saying what I think. And if this all is true, then the danger is much worse then we ever thought so far. Then there is nothing evil from outside again, but something from inside...

Amber silenced again, and now it definitely was Laura's turn. The older Goddess sighed deeply one time before finally raising her head again. She looked into the eyes of Amber, with a really sad sight. And sadness also was also resonating in her voice now as she spoke quietly...

Laura:
Well, how could my beloved sister not share my thoughts and concerns? I tried to hide my feelings, but I should have known better. And yes, I have exactly the same feelings about all this, for something is really wrong here. I am not yet sure what it is, but the suspicion the unicorns are involved is very strong. They do behave more than strange, but it simply makes no sense. At least I have no idea what the reasons should be, if they are really responsible for those new problems in any way...

Amber shrugged her shoulders...

Amber:
I can not imagine too. But one thing is for sure, Laura, we have to be careful as never before in our lives. In the times of demons all things had been so clear, now all things are so confusing and unreal. If we fail here the whole universe could be in more danger than ever before...
 
Laura:
Yes, I know. But the more we must be careful, as you say, and be prepared and watchful. And this means, it is enough now, sister. Let us keep those terrible thoughts in the depths of our hearts, not yet sharing them with the others. This is too early yet, we must find out more first and not totally disturb the fellowship. Do you agree?
 
Amber:
I do! And okay, don't say anything more, I know. I will be as good as gold now, going to bed. See you tomorrow again, sister...

Amber laid down again and closed her eyes. She fell asleep very soon, and Laura watched her with downcast air. She felt a deep sadness inside her heart, for terrible things to come. It was more than obvious, that the great victory against hell was not enough - not enough for eternity. The old man was wrong, a new threat was raising at the horizon. And it seemed the old man was wrong in many things, or even worse, did not tell the whole truth. No matter if on purpose or not, it also could be possible he was somehow involved into all those unfortunate happenings as well...

Laura:
Please, anything but...

Laura silenced and also closed her eyes. It was her only possibility to avoid some tears leaving her eyes in this sorrowful moment, as the future seemed to lay ahead gloomy...

 

 

Early in the next morning the fellowship was on their feet again. After a small breakfast they continued their important mission and journey on the planet Olwon. As decided the group wandered towards the south now, hoping to find anything on their way about the missing creator. Any hint or sign, anything at all then...

At the moment the optimism within the fellowship was rather low. With really not knowing where to go, and if there was anything to find at all, the atmosphere among the searchers was chastened, but Laura and Amber were hiding their own true feelings totally. Not to disturb their friends any further than necessary. The situation was difficult enough...

After wandering for several hours this day the situation changed then. It was the moment the fellowship encountered the first Olwon on their journey. It was one off the huge tree creatures, walking around for protecting and taking care for the nature around...

As the group ramained then it was Laura who stepped forward for addressing the huge tree creature, which also stood still now. And it watched the unexpected visitors carefully...

Laura:
Hello, we are greeting you and beg your pardon for the unexpected disturbance. We have entered your planet through the dimensional portal, for a really important mission. As you may know we just had a big gathering at Lauhaven, where also delegates from your world were present. As there is a new unknown danger in the universe, after the true creator has disappeared, this group has been chosen to solve this mystery...

Laura silenced for some meaningful moments, before continuing with her as much important as serious words...

Laura:
We will be careful to not interfere with you and your world as more as necessary, we can promise that. We only search for hints and traces of the missing creator, because we have been told so by the old man, to start our investigation here. Something helpful must be on this world, and now we must find out what it is...

Laura kept quiet again, looking interested at the huge tree creature, how it would react in this moment. And after a while, where this being only stood totally motionless, it began to speak with a very deep voice. The echo was reflecting from the environment. The creature only spoke with a very slow voice, as all of its species did...

Tree Creature:
Little creatures from other worlds, visiting the homeworld of the Olwons, I welcome you here. Our delegates told us yet about the gathering, and the story behind. We did not know what the consequences would be, and we did not think that our world could be involved. But I think I can speak for all Olwons now, as we only serve light and goodness in the universe, you may do what has to be done and search for traces of the missing God. I will inform my people, thank you for your openness.

Laura smiled satisfied and nodded with her head...

Laura:
Thank you very much, we really appreciate your welcome and support. But may I ask you one more question?
Tree Creature:
Ask your question, little creature!

Laura looked straight into the face of the huge tree creature, and into its yellow gleaming eyes...

Laura:
We don't know your world at all, and those extensive forests all around have the danger for us to get lost. We would appreciate it very much, if one of your people perhaps could be a guide for us? This would help to get further much faster here, of course. Perhaps you could think about this and discuss it with your leaders?

The huge tree creature seemed to think about the words of Laura for some moments, before answering then...

Tree Creature:
I will do as you ask. You may rest here for a while, until I return, so we will find you here again. Then you get our answer.

Laura:

Thank you, we will wait for your return...

The huge tree creature began to move again and slowly tramped away. And the fellowship remained at the current place, pitching up a camp an waiting for the tree creature to return...

 

 

Laura changed her mind quickly. It did not need much discussions, one sight between Amber and her, after the huge tree creature was gone, and they knew what to do. The strange bad feeling inside their hearts simply wouldn't want to stop, and so they did what was necessary. They told the fellowship about their thoughts and suspicion. And somehow, without any concrete fact to proof it, they also did not trust this tree creature. The Olwons were allies, yes, and they had shred the great gathering. But something went wrong now, terribly wrong, and also on this world...

All of it still remained only a suspicion, nothing more. A bad feeling in the heart of two goddesses, but the group shared this feeling. They all were in agreement about, and they acted accordingly. During the fellowship stayed in their new built camp, one of the group didn't. Ebrenell of the elves was chosen to follow the tree creature, as she was a skilled huntsman and tracker, and she would easily find her way back to the group then...

There had not been any discussion about that, it was necessary, and so it was concluded. Ebrenell left the camp quickly and silent, and she was on her way to follow the tree creature...

Laura and Amber stood a little bit apart from the camp, looking after Ebrenell as she slowly disappeared at the horizon. The elf was really very versatile, and she used every possibility to hide slink, so the two sisters were certain she would not be seen by anybody...

Laura looked into the eyes of her sister, with a serious mien, before she expressed what was in her mind...

Laura:
We really had no choice, and I am so glad the whole fellowship back us now. If we are really right about all this, then we are very lonely now, and all of this could be a one and only big trap. Meanwhile I trust nobody any more outside this group, and only a little hope remains, that Ebrenell will return  with good news in the end...

Amber nodded with her head...

Amber:
I hope she will return at all, if our fears are true, and if so, she will return first. Otherwise we be in great trouble, but we have to trust in our friend. All hopes rest on her shoulders now...
 
Laura:
I believe in her! She was so confident and asked for this mission, and if somebody can succeed here at all, than she does. So we will wait and hope now, until she returns...

Laura and Amber turned around again, slowly walking back into the camp of the fellowship...

Ebrenell followed the huge tree creature for hours meanwhile. Of course this was a very slow journey, with this creature only walking very slow. And often other Olwons crossed their way, so Ebrenell had to hide and elude, but she could succeed all the time. And she never lost sight of her destination, no matter how long this pursuit lasted...

It yet was near sundown, as the huge tree creature obviously reached its destination. Ebrenell kept her distance, of course, and she found a good place to hide, but overview the whole area in front of her...

It was an impressing piece of nature here, just stepping out of the forest. A valley followed here, surrounded by high rocks in a strange similar form. And there were giant mushrooms, as Ebrenell had never seen them before. Also a river was flowing nearby. And though, the beauty of the nature was irrelevant, for what happened now...

Ebrenell had to see a kind of gathering here. The huge tree creature met with other very strange creatures, as she had never seen some of them ever before. Plant creatures of different kind. But the main aspect was something different. There was also a unicorn present - and a human being. But Ebrenell could not identify this person, as he was totally enveloped in a red cloak. And sadly Ebrenell was too far away to understand the spoken words, but it was not possible to get any closer...

Ebrenell:
Damned! This really looks like a huge conspiration, and I wished I could understand what they speak. But the danger of being discovered is too high. No chance at all...

The gathering ended after some time and the creatures disappeared in different directions. Ebrenell had to make a quick decision, what to do now, and she did. She would follow the unicorn, as she knew he would be fast enough to do so. And this unicorn did not rush, so it was not difficult. The huge tree creature meanwhile remained at the former place, obviously waiting for further directives. The more Ebrenell was sure to follow the right creature, especially as this human being had not been an alternative. Straight after the gathering this creature had disappeared into thin air...

Ebrenell followed his way with all necessary caution, and she was sure nobody had discovered her at all so far. Also the unicorn seemed unsuspecting, and the pursuit continued...

 

 

Ebrenell followed the suspicious unicorn a long way. The journey lead her trough densely forests, mighty rocks and extensive valleys, often with rivers or streams flowing through. And from the mountains often waterfalls came down, ending in those rivers or streams...

Ebrenell succeeded in not being discovered all the time, and finally it seemed the unicorn would arrive its destination. It now walked towards some high rocks, and Ebrenell could see something interesting there. Because at the ground was an opening, obviously a bigger cave, leading inside this mountain. And in fact the unicorn entered this cave...

Ebrenell waited until the unicorn had disappeared, then she also slunk towards this cave. And she was lucky, as the entrance was not guarded. What or who ever was inside there, they seemed to feel totally save here. And so Ebrenell entered the cave herself now...

Ebrenell did not lose sight of the unicorn in the cave, which was not a dark one. There were different sources of light in different colours, but Ebrenell could not identify them. But it didn't matter, the only thing what mattered was the successful pursuit of the suspicious unicorn...

Ebrenell:
Strange, really strange...

There were several junctions on this way, but the unicorn always followed its way straight and certain. Finally there were to bigger chambers in the cave, one with blue and one with yellow light. The blue cave contained a strange kind of energy portal, as there was a blue energy beam coming out of the bottom...

There was no time to examine this chamber, as the unicorn entered the left cave with the yellow light at once. And the elf didn't want to loose it at all...

Ebrenell:
Really strange, what would all of this only be about? But okay, I am sure the answer is near, I am sure we are very close to the final destination. Further then, hopefully towards the whole truth...

Ebrenell waited again until the unicorn was out of sight. And as nobody else was to see around here, the elf could follow the suspicious unicorn once more. And so she also entered the second chamber with the yellow light, curious about what to find next...

 

 

Ebrenell followed the unicorn through further cave-skeins, until it really reached its final destination. At least this was obvious for Ebrenell now, as they reached a really huge subterranean area, a kind of valley, and now the unicorn was no longer lonely...

Ebrenell acted very careful now. Of course the most important point was not to be detected, but she succeeded in still slinking a little bit further. A bigger rock gave her shelter than. From this point Ebrenell could overview all things very well in safe position...

The elf was really shocked now. It needed some time to believe what she saw, and what this valley really was about...

Ebrenell:
Where am I here? What is this all about? A new kind of hell within our universe and on this planet...?

Ebrenell only whispered to herself, but she really needed some time to accept what she had to see. And the secret, hidden on the world of the Olwons, was much bigger than ever expected. Especially as it was clear now, that as well the Olwons, as also the unicorns were enmeshed into this matter, into a big plot against the rest of the universe...

Ebrenell looked at a strange construction, filling post part of the subterranean valley here. It was some kind of a huge chamber in the form of a sphere, glowing in orange colour. The material was unknown and half transparent, but it was not possible to take a look inside. Whatever was hidden in this chamber, it remained undiscovered...

A wooden kind of winding stair was leading from the ground upwards around the chamber, and beyond. Some giant trees around could also be reached with this stairs. But the most eerie thing about this chamber was the fact of energy flashes coming from its ceiling and spreading through the valley all around. And of course this construction was guarded by the Olwons, so it was not possible to get any closer...

Ebrenell could see the unicorn stepping onto the stairs and walking upwards. And in fact it entered the chamber finally. The elf had seen enough now, more than enough. It was time to leave this eerie cave and go back to the waiting fellowship again...

Ebrenell could leave the cave unseen finally and soon was on her way back to her group. And on this way she still saw something, a kind of vision in her mind. It was a picture, but really a creepy one. But there was no time to think about it now, Ebrenell would discuss this all later, together with the other members of her group...

The weather got worse on his journey, and partially the elf had to fight against rain and thunderstorm. But it all didn't matter, the only important aspect was to reach the fellowship as fast as possible. Sometimes also Olwons crossed the way of Ebrenell, but she always was possible to avoid any contact or even battles. She only followed her way purposefully. And finally Ebrenell was successful, as she saw the camp in some distance...

 

 

There was no time for any report from Ebrenell, though the fellowship of course was more than curious to hear from her about her mission, to say nothing of being totally relieved that she returned unharmed at all. But Ebrenell convinced the others of not wasting any further valuable time, but turning tail and fleeing at once. The group needed to find another safe place first, a hideout, and nobody asked any questions. They simply believed Ebrenell, that there was no time, she would report on her journey later. And so the fellowship was on a further tramp again. And it was totally clear yet, that the planet Olwon had to be classified as hostile now...

After hours of wandering, and with avoiding every contact to living beings from this world, the fellowship entered a new region then. But it was strange, for they found something never expected. It was known about the Olwons, that those plant creatures only lived in full harmony with the nature, without the use of any artificial structures at all. They never needed houses, villages or towns, it had been a world of pure nature ever...

At least all other races had believed it this way. But now the fellowship could see, this was an error. On purpose or not, it definitely was wrong. The landscape changed now, as the forests involved obvious artificial structures - in form from antic ruins. This could only mean there had been a time anytime when creatures lived on Olwon who did work with artificial structures, a fact the Olwons themselves always where hiding from all other races...

But why? There was no answer, only questions. But it got more and more obvious, that the group was on the scent of a important secret, and some kind of conspiracy, which more and more took on a dramatic scale. And it was also obvious the Olwons would not want to let the intruders escape again with their new acknowledge...

The fellowship did not rest. Until there was no safe place again to hide and speak, the group would not stop wandering. And on the further way, with always hiding as much as possible at all, they passed an ancient castle, today only sad ruins, of course. But the sight did tell the group it had to be an impressing and huge castle a long time before...

The fellowship decided to enter the ruins here. The castle ruins took a really huge area, and in the other ending it even got over into the next forest part. Really impressing. And there was enough shelter here to hide for some time, so the group felt safe again. So they could rest again now and began to set up their camp at once, near the other end of the castle ruins...

After a while the group stood together and talked finally. Now Ebrenell could report to the others about her experiences, and they listened carefully. In the end Ebrenell still told her own opinion...

Ebrenell:
I am sure we must no longer discuss about a huge new danger, and even about the status of this planet. We really know now that the conspiracy is even much bigger than we ever expected. We may not really understand why, and how this is possible at all after closing all evil forces away in hell. It simply makes no sense. But though, it is the truth, and what I saw WAS evil. Evil in a whole new form, as it seems. And please, don't forget this vision, the picture in my mind at last, which I described you, with those strange fire creatures and the unicorn, it was really eerie. I don't understand the meaning, only that it was another warning for sure...

Laura nodded with her head and answered herself now. The feeling inside her heart got worse more and more...

Laura:
My dear friends, I believe it is time to really speak open about something very important. There is something in my heart and soul, and I am concerned with yet for a longer time. At first I didn't want to realize and could not imagine this problem, but with time it only got worse. I had no clarity about all this and only thought about imagination, but now, here and now, with all what happened, I can no longer deny it...

Laura paused a short time, looking around into the eyes of all other group members, before continuing...

Laura:
Let me try to explain. Things really get more and more complicated, and it is most important, that we understand all things, our new enemies and the whole situation. Without understanding it will not be possible to handle this situation and to succeed in the end. Therefore, please, listen carefully and try to understand and accept what I tell you now...

Bedel spoke for the others as she answered Laura spontaneously then, and with a determined voice...

Bedel:
We will, Laura, we will...
 
 
 

Laura nodded with her head one time while she smiled slightly, looking at Bedel. Then the mother of all life finally began to speak again...

Laura:
You must think back now first. We had this long and grand war against the evil forces of hell, which not first started as our armies clashed. This conflict was as old as there was life in our universe, and all this time we have learned about one thing - to think in two dimensions. Every life form always had the choice to decide which way to go, the way into light or darkness. Every life form chose the site where to stand in the final battle, and we knew it throughout all those centuries, the last war had to come. There was only one way to solve this conflict forever, as only one site could win, and this was how the final war was decided in the end. With our victory, and with a very high prize of lost life, we defeated the evil and closed it back into hell, where it - under normal circumstances - never can escape again. And I myself was a witness of the incredible power, pulling all remaining evil forces back into hell after our victory, and the gates of hell were closed forever...

Laura nodded with her head for a confirmation of her words, before she continued with her speech...

Laura:
And so, we all really have believed it, that the danger for our universe would be over forever and never return, except the thing with Earth, of course, but that is another story. We were totally sure this kind of evil now could never return, and this is why we now have much trouble to understand what is going on here. For we had to identify the Iverions and Olwons as new enemies, with an unknown plan, but a plan at all against the rest of the universe. This does not want to fit together, as it seems, especially as the Olwons seemed our allies and even join the council of guards. But this is just the problem here, as we are not able to leave our two-dimensional thinking, what gets us this result of not understanding what is happening here...

Laura looked down for some moments and silenced, but then she continued again with determined voice...

Laura:
We all, and also our races, the whole confederation of forces for heaven, must change our way of looking at things, now and at once, or this whole matter will end fatally for us. And so, think back one more time, and see the race of the unicorns. See the Iverions and what they did, learn about their strategy and true behaviour, learn about this species at all. We could never understand why they did not join us in the grand war, or before, though the whole universe was in danger. But instead they withdraw and avoided contact with us as far as possible. This was a strategy, because it was totally indifferent to them which site would win. It simply didn't matter...

Laura paused once more, and she could see questions in the eyes of the others. So she kept on talking again...

Laura:
Yes, we have a new enemy, and it is all different this time. Those enemies are not evil, not in the normal definition of evil, and therefore the gates of hell stay closed for them. But apart from that it only makes those enemies much more dangerous, as it does not help to win this time and all enemies are pulled to another cage again this time. You really have to understand this, for it is essential for us. Neither the Olwons, nor the Iversions are evil, instead they simply do not have any feelings at all. They can not feel anything, all things are only rational for them. They see the whole universe through total different eyes, and this is what them really separates from all other creatures in the universe. This is what cause their mistrust from the beginning, and it grew all the time. They made tier own plans for the universe, and now I really understand it all. I understand it much too well...

Laura looked down for some moments and did not speak then, but finally she continued with her speech again...

Laura:
The Iverions see themselves as the first and only important creation in the universe. They believe the creator had made them to preserve and protect the universe, but as whole different live began to grow and spread they never really accepted. And with the time they made their plan to change the face of the universe. Our long conflict, the long war between good and evil, this was the last link for the unicorns to see us all as danger for them and the universe, and it did not matter at all if light or darkness.  For the Iverions there is no difference there, as they do not feel or understand good or evil. They completely live without feelings, without emotions. And it is the same with the Olwons, the only allies of the Iverions...

Laura took a deep breath before speaking on...

Laura:
And then there is this picture, the kind of vision of Ebrenell, what she saw before leaving the conspiracy place on Olwon. She described it to us before. I have to say, I saw the same picture yet in front of my inner eyes, I also saw it as a vision - and a warning. Because there is a small but important difference between the vision of Ebrenell and mine. Because in my picture I also saw a unicorn, together with those mysterious and semitransparent fire creatures. Until now I do not know at all what those creatures really are about, but a unicorn together with them all means another dangerous alliance anyway. At least this is for sure...
 

Laura took another deep breath and silenced for some depressing moments, before she began to talk once more...

Laura:
And then there is another mysterious creature, this person in a red cloak, as Ebrenell saw this person at the conspiracy meeting on Olwon. It was also in my vision, standing in the background, not joining this gathering, but watching it. We do not know who hides under this cloak, but for the form it seems to be a human creature. But not  normal one, this creature is much more powerful. I can feel that at least, though he tries to hide it all from me. And my feeling also tells me there is really still much more about all this than we can see and imagine. As well as the thing with the creator. What really happened to him? Where is he now? And did he really not see the development of all this for such a long time? Which position would he take in this new conflict? Or could it be possible, that he still tries to protect his first children after all? There are so much questions, but no answers...

As Laura silenced again Amber used this chance to take the floor. And she talked with serious and determined voice...

Amber:
Laura, thank you for sharing all your thoughts and conclusions with us, for it really is so important for us all to understand. To understand what is going on here, and now we do. We do at least as much as you, though all of this really is not easy to realize. Life forms with no emotions at all, this is a whole strange fact for us, but now we must believe. And we believe the danger to spring of the Iverions and there allies, no matter who they may be altogether. It does not matter if we still have only few answers, they will come gradually with continuing our mission. The most important factor for now is, that we must be successful on this world, to stop the conspiracy here as much as possible and to isolate Olwon from the rest of the universe. If we are able to do this, then it would mean a big step for us to minimise the danger, but I know, this will be more than difficult, as we are only few and stand alone against the rest of this dangerous world...

Borim clenched his fists and also began to speak with totally firm and determined voice now...

Borim:
We know the danger, we know our enemies, we are prepared to do whatever has to be done. So be it then, the only thing to decide now is what must be our next destination. What can we do now on our way, and we all know, time is important. We may not hesitate, the faster we can be, the better for us and the universe...

Laura nodded with her head...

Laura:
Well spoken, Borim, and yes, Amber. We must try to isolate this world now, and we can do so with deactivating the dimensional portals here. There are two of them, I can feel this. The first one is out of range for us now, as the Olwons will wait for us there, but they may not know the second one, as most other worlds only have one portal. I don't know why there are two ones here, but I also could not feel it before entering this world. So I guess the Olwons and Iverions also may not know. It will be our chance to return home, and then  to close the portals from there. But before we can do this, there is still much to do, as I can feel further massive danger. We must neutralise this danger and find further answers here, we must follow the traces of the creator as far as possible. I really trust to my feelings here, and they show the further way to me. So I hope you also may trust me, then we could continue our way now from here. If you agree I will lead you forward from here...

There was no discussion at all. The fellowship would follow Laura, and she told them which way to further go at first. Laura wanted to stay alone for some moments, so the group left without her. Laura sat on the ground, looking down and thinking about the mission. While the group left the area yet only Amber was looking back, and of course she worried about her sister. She could imagine that there was still much more about this mission as they all could understand, and so did Laura...

In the end also Laura left the area, following the others and finally taking the leadership of the peregrination...

 

 

It needed one more day until the fellowship reached their next destination area, depending on the feelings of Laura, where she lead her group on this still unknown planet. And all the way the fellowship only walked with most possible care to avoid all Olwons. Of course they saw them often, and more and more patrols were on their way. But so far every hostile contact had been able to avoided, so the group could reach this new destination safely once more. But they always knew their was no real safeness on this whole world, as it was a hostile planet...

The fellowship stopped and watched the new environment. It was a huge area, with antic ruins and savage vegetation. A really impressing sight, but also a dangerous area. Much places had broken grounds, and the group could view into very deep abysses. And some of the bridges around didn't seem to really be safe, so the fellowship knew they had to walk around very carefully here...

However, it was necessary, as Laura accentuated again. Something important was here, anywhere at this place, any certainly somewhere within the antic buildings or caves. So they had to explore the whole area...

Laura spoke to the group before they continued on their dangerous way. And once again with very serious voice...

Laura:
Be careful here, my friends, as I can see and feel yet the ground here may partially be fragile. It is dangerous here, but we have no choice, as I can feel we can find an answer here to solve the next part of the mystery about the strange world of the Olwons. And I suggest we do not separate, though we certainly could be faster then. But we should stay as a group, as we are simply stronger this way...

The other members agreed, and so they continued. Some stairs lead them down to the main ground of this huge and ancient area, which was another proof of an unknown ancient culture here, so the plant creatures had not been the only life form on this world all the time. And Laura was whole sure, within those buildings and caves an answer was waiting for them. The fellowship now only had to find it...

Them group then began to explore the area, following the possible ways, where the ground was not broken. And after some time they had seen all outside areas, without anything interesting. So it was time to enter the first building, and it was clear yet which one first...

Laura:
Okay, let's enter the main building, as this is the only reachable open door here for now then...

The fellowship did as Laura said, following another stair into a huge entrance to the seemingly main building...

 

 

After hours with exploring this really huge and ancient area the fellowship finally found access to a further cave. But this one was different to the others so far, for it was not reachable from the outside area, but only by crossing several of the ancient buildings. This cave really was well hidden, and also protected by guards, but the fellowship always was successful in not getting seen by those guards. Sometimes they could simply distract them and passing areas this way, as well as this new cave...

Several courses lead from the entrance down, deeper into the mysterious cave. It almost seemed like a kind of labyrinth, but Laura knew the right way. The goddess had abilities beyond all human possibilities, and she used them whenever necessary. But at this point, and for more than uncertain area, the group branched for the first time. Only Laura, Amber, Ebrenell and Borim followed the further way through the cave, all others stayed back near the entrance, to back up their friends and watch over the guards. Laura again assumed the leadership over the explorers...

The way through the mysterious cave went down deeper and deeper, under the surface. Though of many junctions on this path Laura followed her feelings whole certain. And they did not need any torches, as there somehow was natural light everywhere within the cave, reflecting from countless crystals on the walls, ceiling and ground. And finally the small group reached a new area, a giant chamber within the cave, where the course now ended. And the group stopped immediately, not believing at first what they saw in this moment. And nobody could speak a word for a while...

It was incredible. Really incredible, and for sure now the first time the group looked into the face of a real new enemy now. An enemy as they had never seen it before so far. It was a giant creature, sleeping under a cage of glass, and obviously waiting for the day it would be activated. The shape was a human form, but energy from the ceiling of the cage showed this creature was still in a condition of changing. It seemed not to be final so far. And there was something else, as Laura and Amber felt it so clearly. As Laura spoke to the small group, she only whispered...

Laura:
This is one of the new enemies, one as we never met it before, and I am whole sure now the further courses in this cave also lead to such chambers with a lot of more such cages. And the really horrible thing about all that, it is as we feared, those creatures, as well as them who created them, are nor evil. They simply have no feelings, no emotions, they can not even differentiate between good and evil. They are only created for one certain reason, and they know nothing else. We could not send them to hell in any way, because hell has no place for not evil creatures. More and more we understand this new threat we are dealing with here. Terrible...

Amber nodded with her head. The younger sister of Laura was obviously shocked, and she also only whispered...

Amber:
This is really worse than we ever could imagine so far. And I guess all of this is the work of the Iverions. We know they never fight themselves, but only like to pull the strings behind the scenes. And this is at least one way they prepare for their own battle, for a new war against us this time. When we really still needed a last proof, here it is. We still do not know what the destiny of the creator is, but we clearly see what the Iverions and their allies plan for the future. We will have to face a further war again...

Borim also nodded with his head. The dwarf had clenched his fists and looked with gloomy sight, as he also whispered to the group now...

Borim:
I guess we have seen enough. We better should return to the others and leave this horrible place as fast as possible. We may discuss all this later, when we have reached a safe place again. For now I only want to leave here, to not see this terrible creature any longer...
 
Ebrenell:
Borim is right, let us leave now...

Laura also nodded with her head and did not answer any more. She turned around and began to walk the way back where they had came from, and the others followed her...

It needed some time with walking and hiding from hostile guards, until the small group finally reached their waiting friends again. And without telling them anything at first the reunited fellowship left the huge cave again, walking back in the direction of the huge and ancient outside area again. In the end they could reach it safely then...

 

 

Laura knew there was not much time to discuss about new plans now, or to tell the others all details what happened. The mother of all life had seen one more vision on her way back here, and this important acknowledgement was really all what mattered now. And before anybody else could say something then, Laura began to speak herself. Her face and voice expressed her determination while talking...

Laura:
Dear friends, let me tell you, we have no time to rest here a longer time. On our way back here I had another vision, and I can only ask you now to trust me. The others to wait, as they not have all information about this area, and all of you for our next destination. Let me only tell you this, I know we can not leave this world only with our so far information. We can not risk the danger, which had been created here, to spread across the universe in the end. And now I know the way to go and what to do further...

Laura began to smile slightly before continuing...

Laura:
I will explain later, but it is most important first to reach our next destination. We must reach it first. I know the Iverions and Olwons now intensify their search for us, and we should avoid them as long as possible. They are not so far away behind us...

Laura nodded with her head as confirmation...

Laura:
So, if you trust me, then we should no longer hesitate, but leave again. I know the further way, I know where to go...

The group agreed at once, and no further word had to be spoken then. Laura assumed the leadership again and the others followed her. The mission of the fellowship continued...

And it was a longer way again. A way leading the fellowship through further areas of the ancient ruins then. This whole region was still much larger than expected so far. Huge ancient buildings, partially broken and ruinous, but still impressing...

Nobody knew which ancient culture once had lived here, there were no traces at all. Even as goddesses Laura and Amber also had no clue at all, and the old man never talked about something like that...

Finally, the next day, the fellowship reached their destination. They yet saw the artificial construction from some distance, and Laura began to smile again. Nobody was there, the enemies had not yet discovered this place. So the explorers still were in the lead...

The group reached the strange place, not really knowing what would be so special about this construction of stone, only Amber yet had an idea. She looked at Laura, and her sister nodded with her head...

Laura looked at the others, as well as they looked at her asking. And now it was the right time to explain...

Laura began to speak finally, with a really serious and also determined voice, while also looking totally strong-minded at the other members of the fellowship...

Laura:
Perhaps you already may have an idea, but if not, this is another kind of dimensional portal on this world. It was not in operation for a long time, and it is not like the other portals. This one only allows journeys within this world, it can lead us to secret places on Olwon. And Amber and I will be able to activate it, I can feel so. But before we do this, there is something else you must know and understand, and now I must summon you to strictly trust my words and do what I demand from you...

The other members of the fellowship looked at each other with some confusion in their faces, of course with one exception. At least Amber could share all feelings of her sister and already knew what would come now, without having spoken one single word about it with Laura...

Finally Laura continued with her speech, and the expression of her face was determined as not often before...

Laura:
I have had another vision in my mind, as well as Amber, and we both feel and know exactly what to do now. We do have a mission here, and we can not leave before it is finished. And to succeed in the end it is most important now that we branch out from this point. Amber will lead you all on your further way, straight to your destination. She knows what to do, and you must fulfil this task at any prize. For I have my own mission at the same time, which I have to face alone, because this is a challenge you can not follow me. I would only lead you into death for sure otherwise...

Laura now looked into many horrified faces, but she did not pause for not letting anybody traverse. Instead she continued her important speech once more with her serious voice...

Laura:
Please, no discussion at this point, as I said you have to trust me now. The only way to support me now is to fulfil your mission, and I urgently will need this help. I can feel that time is short meanwhile, as the enemy is no longer waiting, those giant creatures we saw will be awakened and freed soon. Not only to follow and kill us, but also to reach other worlds through the dimensional portals. This must never happen, and the new war we all feared yet is close at hand. Only we can still stop those creatures now - and I will do so with your support. So, no time for further talking and hesitating - we must leave now at once...

Laura eyed Amber now, and her younger sister nodded with her head at once. She was prepared for her mission, to lead the fellowship to the next destination, and to activate the portal now...

Laura and Amber asked the others to stay back, and then both goddesses spread their wings, but stayed on the ground. They positioned themselves to the left and right in front of the dimensional portal, with closing their eyes now. And then they activated their inner energies...

Flashes were shooting out of the hand of Amber and the magic wand of Laura finally. Those energy flashes were heading into the dimensional portal, soon creating an energy field in there...

And the energy, first in white colour, interacted with the portal, what caused the energy field to change its colour into blue...

It got bigger fast until the whole portal was filled with the energy. Now Laura and Amber opened their eyes again...

Laura:
We have prepared the portal now, and I enter it first. It will bring me to my next destination. Afterwards the portal will change the coordinates, so you can also go through. And do so straight after I have gone...

Amber nodded with her head and spoke for all others now. She was bound and determined to fulfil her own task with the others...

Amber:
Beloved sister, count on us, as we are prepared and will reach our destination in time. We will do what has to be done, so you can also fulfil your important mission in the end...

Laura die not answer any more, but only also nodded with her head. Then she turned around, walking towards the portal slowly. A few moments later she had disappeared in the blue energy...

Amber:
Well, my friends, as Laura said, war has now begun again. We have no time to wait, so, please, go through the portal fast now. I will follow you at last, and then we will search our next destination...

Nobody spoke or asked anything, the whole fellowship understood the urgency of the current mission. And so they entered the blue energy filed one by one, until only amber was left...

With one last deep breath Amber also entered the blue energy field. Turning around at the entrance one last time and sighing deeply, also Amber finally disappeared in the dimensional portal...

The whole fellowship had finally disappeared. They were on their further way, and the blue energy of the dimensional portal disappeared. The ancient construction stood there as if nothing had happened. But the mission to save the universe once more had just begun...

 

 

The group around Amber appeared again, somewhere in a far away unknown region. They noticed to be in another forest again, where mighty high trees of an ancient kind were stretching their branches against the sky. Those trees were in full bloom, and colourful flowers also were sprouting all around. It really was a peaceful place, where a path lead further to a glade with a small ancient temple. To the left and right of this path waterfalls were rushing, and the small way was leading further behind a stony portal...

Amber knew the group was not in danger here, as she could not feel any enemy presence around. But she knew there was still some way to go until the next destination, and there was no time to hesitate. The group did not know when Laura would reach her own destination, and they had to be prepared if this would happen...

Standing under the stony portal, Amber turned around to her group and spoke to them with firm voice...

Amber:
Well, my friends, as beautiful this area may be, we sadly have no time to rest here any longer. Laura is on her own mission, and we know nothing about. Also not how much time she needs to reach her own destination. So we will continue from here at once, that we reach our own destination in time. We must be prepared for whatever may happen, to support Laura in the end. So, please, follow me further now...

Jofetus answered Laura and spoke for all other group members, with a bright smile in his face...

Jofetus:
We are ready, Amber! Lead us further from here, no matter where this journey will end. Laura will not be on her own when the time has come, we will support her in any way possible...

Amber nodded gratefully with her head...

Amber:
I know that. Thank you...

Amber turned around again and got under way again. The other members of the fellowship followed her determinedly...

 

 

Laura found herself at a really strange place again, after crossing her own way through the dimensional portal. She stood on a small stony stair, which lead down into a huge maze of green bushes. At the other end of this maze laid a big castle, obviously the next destination, but not easy to reach because of this huge maze. And though, all of this was not the actual reason of being astonished. Not at all...

Laura:
What is this all about? Where am I here? I never saw a similar place as strange as this one in my whole life...

Laura looked around and still couldn't believe, but it was true. All normal colours had disappeared at this place, and the whole environment was only dipped into an unnatural yellow colour. But not only the environment, also Laura herself had lost all normal colours...

There was no time for wondering or even solving this mystery. Laura had to accept this fact for now and she finally turned around, towards the entrance to the huge maze...

Laura:
Well, okay, this world really keeps some strange secrets, and more and more it gets obvious to me, that we have been totally deceived so far - and for a really long time. Neither the Olwons, nor the Iversions need buildings and any artificial structures at all, and it seems they never were the real inhabitants of this world at all. I would rather think they occupied this world in a far ago time, from which real inhabitants ever. At least we see the traces of this ancient culture, what is still left of them today...

Laura slowly walked towards the entrance of the huge maze, and she sighed deeply one time...

Laura:
What a terrible secret! And now, more than ever before, the Olwons will do all to not let us leave from here again ever. They want to keep their dark secret, and this whole giant conspiracy. But they won't succeed, nor will the Iverions, who obviously play a bigger role in this drama as we ever could know. An almost perfect plan - until now...

Laura entered the maze finally, walking carefully towards the first parting of the ways. She could choose between a way to the right and another to the left, and she felt something terrible...

Laura:
This is not only a puzzle to solve, it is a puzzle of death! I can feel it now so clearly, choosing the wrong ways will only lead to death traps here. And all of this has been constructed by the Olwons, to keep all possible foreigners away from this castle of the former inhabitants. So I guess it also keeps a further secret - and now the more interesting to reach for me...

Laura took a deep breath once...

Laura:
No death traps can stop me! I will reach this castle and explore it, to find the secret it is hiding...

Laura made her decision for the first further way to choose - and it was the right decision. The mother of all life could continue her way through the dangerous maze in this strange yellow area...

 

 

Laura took a deep breath as she finally reached the end of the maze, and she stood in the entrance area of the strange castle. It was partially broken, and also with succeeding the maze this really weird yellow colour around didn't change at all. But the even more strange thing was something else at this place, and it seemed the castle would perhaps not be as abandoned as thought before. In front of the entrance some fire owls were standing - and the were all burning. Somebody had lit them...

Laura:
Well, I am really on the right track here, as I felt before. This castle keeps a secret, and somebody must be in there. So I will have to be still more careful now, as I do not have the faintest notion of what to expect here. But I will find out soon then...

Laura slowly walked towards the open entrance into the castle, trying to be as noiseless as possible. She did not know who to expect within this castle, and where, and so she acted very carefully...

And with entering the huge castle finally, things changed again. Because the unnatural yellow colour disappeared, but admittedly not replaced by normal colours again. Instead Laura found herself in an area with only red colour, including Laura herself...

Laura had entered a huge but empty arrival hall of the castle. And she remained there for some moments...

Laura:
I don't understand that. I have really searched this whole castle, but I could find nothing interesting at all. And though my heart still warns me from hostile creatures here, this old palace contains no life at all. Instead dust and spider webs are all I found...

Laura remained for some further moments, closing her eyes and concentrating on her inner powers. She let her energy flow, and suddenly she knew where to go further...

Deadlock! Laura had followed her intuition further through this castle, until her way ended suddenly at a wall...

Laura:
Okay, a wall seems no way to go further. But in this case I would disagree. My feelings are very strong, and they tell me to straight go further here - further through this wall...

Laura took a deep breath and did what her feeling were telling her. She moved on against the wall - and simply through it. The wall was an illusion, and Laura found herself in a secret room of the palace...

Laura took a look around first. She stood in a huge room with a lot of books in shelves and much other items. It seemed this was an old kind of laboratory, but something else attracted her attention now. Because there was something in this room what never had to be found at this place. It was a big globe in a bracket, and Laura slowly walked towards it...

Laura:
Okay, another strange games with not usual colours then. Perhaps this really could discourage other creatures from here, but not me. they can play on with those colours, it doesn't matter. I will continue and find my way until my final destination here...

Laura crossed the strange red lobby slowly then...

It needed hours. Hours of searching every ledge of this weird castle carefully and considerately. But though of all feelings inside the heart of the mother of all life, this castle really seemed empty. There was no sign of life at all, so Laura nodded with her head finally...

Laura:
In fact, it is a globe of a well known planet, and nobody except gods and few chosen ones as the fairies should know about it at all. But it is true, this is a globe of the planet Earth...

Laura nodded with her head and wrinkled her brow. Now things really got worse, and a horrible suspicion was laying in the air. After some moments Laura spoke to herself again. But this time the voice of the mother of all life sounded truly worried...

Laura:
Well, now it is clear, this strange castle has its secret. At least a part of it, as further answers are still missing. But a globe in this secret room, showing the planet Earth, is really the last thing I ever expected to find. Actually something like that shouldn't be here, shouldn't be anywhere else in this universe except Earth itself and Lauhaven...

Laura  took a deep breath once more...

Laura:
We never told the rest of the races about this world, for good reasons. Of course the circle of guards knows, but the members committed themselves to everlasting silence, one vow they have to take before getting members in this circle. Of course Amber, me and the old man knew all about Earth, and all fairies, being involved with taking children from this world into the world of supernatural beings...

Laura nodded with her head...

Laura:
All other living beings only know that world exists, but nothing more. No details at all. And as nobody else ever visited this world except us, so nobody could know how it looks like. And this castle is ancient, so this globe also must be very old. I even believe it has nothing to do with the Olwons, but with the unknown culture living on this world before. Or it is still whole different, and something else is going on here. Something I don't know yet. And so, time to continue my explorations...

Laura knew where to go now. This secret room also contained another real passage, leading to another area of the castle. And of course the goddess would follow this passage...

 

 

The new passage went downwards. A lot of small corridors with stony stairs, and now all in green colour. Laura followed and knew this way was not only leading her into a cellar. Because a cellar would not lay so deep under the surface, and the stairs still went down...

Laura knew she was on the right scent. There was another secret within those walls, and the goddess was about to find it finally...

Laura:
As much as my feelings getting stronger and my worries bigger, as well I am convinced to solve this mystery soon. Those stairs are really leading me deeper and deeper below the surface. Something to be hidden so far below the surface can never be something good. And though, as we all know there can not be any real evil any more, nowhere on our planets. Hell is closed, and all evil caged. But why do I though feel this uncertain energy within those walls, an energy my heart tells me to be evil then...?

Laura was confused. Since entering this strange castle she had felt about this energy, but put aside all bad feelings. There simply could be no evil any more on any planet, but meanwhile Laura had doubts. Really big doubts, that all beliefs of the races of light could be destroyed in the end. Could the old man really have been so wrong, with all his laws and plans? What was really going on in this universe?

Laura paused again for some minutes, thinking about it all, and once more talking to herself silently...

Laura:
I know. Now I really know, because I also know this presence. How could I ever forget about it? And though this is simply impossible, it is true though. Now they can not hide from me any longer, no matter how deep they conceal their presence below the surface. And if this is really true, just as I clearly feel it now, then this incredible conspiration spread itself out still much further than we ever imagined. I must see this with ma own eyes, as otherwise I could never believe it. Never...

Laura finally reached the end of this long and green stairway, as the light suddenly changed again. The time of strange lights was over then, and all environments had their normal colours back. Also Laura herself, as she had expected...

Lauras feelings had be right. It was not an error, no illusion at all. And the goddess reacted at once, using her powers to hide from all possible enemies. Laura made herself invisible, yet still walking down the rest of the stairway. And she was totally silent...

Troops! Troops all around in this giant underground vault, partially build within the rocks, and partially with artificial structures. And here secret troops were placed and hidden, but not any troops. To see it with her own eyes now, to understand the whole truth of this scene, Laura really was completely shocked. She could not continue for some moments...

Finally the goddess reacted again. She could control her feelings again and slowly walked down the stairs further. Without any fear the mother of all life walked towards those troops, and soon among them. They could not see or feel Laura, as she was bodiless now, and her powers protected her totally. But it was such a bad feeling, until she was on her own again, until she had passed all those troops from the planet Earth...

Yes, no doubts any more, not at all. All those people were from Earth, no matter how this could be possible. But anybody, any mighty force, must had taken them to Olwon, and possibly Laura only had seen a part of the whole dimension. Possibly there were further troops elsewhere...

Laura walked on through those eerie vaults, as she knew her search was not over yet. She could have believed things could not get any worse now, but she didn't. On the contrary, she knew better...

Every moment now seemed like eternity now, as Laura moved on, while knowing her shock was only the beginning. There would be further answers within those vaults, and they wouldn't please her. But there was no choice, as Laura needed those answers...

Laura:
Not so far away any more, I can feel it. And I also feel another mighty presence, one that seems not unknown. I have to admit, I fear to know it yet too well, for what is waiting for me here...

And Laura was right. Only a few minutes later she reached a new region of this giant underground basis. And yet from the distance she could see further human people, assembled at a certain place. But those humans, certainly being some leaders of the troops from before, were not alone. There were two more creatures within this gathering, and the mother of all life found her suspicion confirmed...

Laura:
I knew it! I sadly knew it...

Laura could not get any further, because there was a danger she could be discovered though of her bodiless form. Not because of those human leaders, but of the leaders of the humans. Laura saw that red shape again, a faceless phantom, always staying incognito. And there was a unicorn, in fact the leader of this race - Ventur. But it was not really a surprise, as Laura long since knew that he also was part of this conspiracy, as all Iverions. The only remaining unknown factor was the red phantom...

Laura:
I can not get any closer for hearing what they talk, because I have no idea how powerful this strange red shape may be. All others do not react, but I can feel danger from that phantom yet. It is already distrustful and seems to suspect something is wrong...

Laura suddenly scared abruptly. Something really incredible happened, as this delegation now showed unexpected powers. At the end of this long stairway of this area there was a huge kind of holder - empty so far, but no longer now. Above this holder a transparent picture of a planet appeared - and this planet really was Earth. From the ceiling energy flashes came down, around the holder and Earth picture...

Laura knew at once what was happening. And she also knew it was time for her to quickly withdraw now, even as a goddess...

Laura:
This is how it works, this way they transfer their troops to the world of Olwon. Terrible, but true. Time to get away from here fast now, as I really have seen more than enough...

Laura left this sad place, and she could escape completely undiscovered. In the end she could leave the castle, this time at the opposite site, with also crossing another labyrinth part...

Taking a deep breath now Laura rested for a short time. But soon she was on her way again, as this mission was not over yet, of course. There had only been some first and important answers now, but the long journey was still at the beginning though. And she also knew, the battle for the planet Olwon had just begun...

Laura was prepared. She was ready to face whatever would still wait for her. And she continued her long journey, once more through the extensive forests of Olwon. And her heart told her where to go, which way to follow, to reach the next important destination...

End of chapter 6

...but to be continued in chapter 7...

To the top
