Chapter 21: Pearl
The darkness was still surrounding Pearl, but now she welcomed it like she welcomed sleep after a tiring day. She couldn't be bothered to lift up her heavy eyelids. Suddenly, it all came rushing back. The prophecies, her mother's anxious face, the storm... The storm! Without prompting, her eyelids flew upwards and she jolted upright. "The storm!" She shouted, but no one seemed to her shout.
Her senses came back to her then. Pearl looked around, and realized that she was in her fort. No wonder nobody replied to her. Who put her there? Why? Where was her mother? The questions came flooding towards her. Then, she remembered something even more important. She spun around and let out a breath of relief. They were still there, lined up neatly on her shelf. The pearl, the feather and the flower.
But who put her there? Who knew about the Fort in the first place? Then she thought, I always felt something un-scavenger like here. Maybe mother followed me. She slowly gathered the pearl, the feather and the willow flower and put it in the bottle. There. They would never be seperated now. Suddenly, she felt a jolt in her hand. She flexed it, ripples of water spread around the surface. She pushed her hand down, and a hole started to form from the surface down to the water. She swished her hand, pretending to be a whirlpool but when she glanced behind, a real whirlpool was forming, and when she stopped, it disappeared.
She glanced at the bottle. The jay feather, the pearl and the willow flower was swirling around. For a moment, the future was cloudy until she put her hand to her head. Then she saw it all. By having elements of all three realms, she was able to free and accept the three spirits of the Hunters, for she only had the wisdom spirit of each hunter. When they transferred, she would have the wisdom, freedom and speed spirit of the Hunter of the Seas, Lord Gabriel. Willow would have the spirits of Lord Michelangelo and Jay would have the spirit of Lady Selene.
Then why did it happen when she didn't 'activate' it? She wondered until she saw that the blue jay feather was incredibly brighter than the rest. Jay must have accidentally 'activated' the swapping. She touched her head again. Images of Jay and his mother, Celeste, appeared, then Willow with her enemy, Primrose.
Jay invoked the power when his mother asked who you and Willow were. Willow felt the jolt and because of the anger and taunts from Primrose Lily Petal, she caged her in a prison of earth. Both had the voice of the Hunters when they did that, like what happened to you when you lose control.
"Then who are you? Voice in my head?"
I am Lord Gabriel reborn. I join with you when I am invoked. But when you just have the wisdom spirits, I cannot answer you as a nymph. You cannot see it, you can only hear it.
