Hours later Charlotte's eyes started to open, it was all blurry. She could make out a few figures in the blurriness. “Maya?” Charlotte asked weakly. “You’re gonna be okay Charlotte.” Maya assured her as she pressed her hand on her stomach, healing her. She looked to her left to see the mirror shard. “Wait...I thought...I lost how do...I have the shard?” Charlotte asked. “It was a backwards illusion. It made it seem like you lost, but in reality you won.” Mavis explained. “I… I can’t feel anything.” Charlotte said. “You lost so much blood during the fight that you lost feeling in you entire body.” Elinor explained. Jason the came into view as she smiled. “How you doing?” Jason asked. “Well...let's see… I lost a crap ton of blood and I can't feel anything.” Charlotte answered as she got up with Jason help. “3 out of 4. What’s next.” Charlotte smirked.

Now back to the story!

Currently, our heroes are walking across the Arid Savanna, a very long 15 football field long desert where there is no water in sight for miles. “Why...why do we have to walk all this way for some stupid Healing Water.” Ella groaned. “It’s not stupid Ella, the Tepanecas were blessed with the water because of their honor and bravery in their fights. The water could heal a lot of illnesses and injuries, according to legend, it even healed a blind man!” Roxy explained. “Oh please, water that can heal a blind man? Give me a break.” Elinor scoffed. “You know Elinor, the Tepanecas are real and actually did believe in this, what’s to say it isn’t true.” Mavis singsonged. “I know that Tepanecas are real, but water that can heal blindness? I’ll believe it when I see it.” Elinor said proudly. After countless hours of walking through the Arid Savanna, they finally reach the Tepanecas Tribe.

“Finally!” Lexi rejoiced, they were about to entire the tribe but the two guards in front stopped them. “Please state your name.” One guard ordered. “Lexi.” Lexie answered. “You may not pass, only members of the tribe are able to pass.” The other guard said. Maya was about to say something but someone cut her off. “It’s okay guards there here in order of the Queen.” The lady said. She had brown hair and hazel eyes. She had on a turquoise green, low cut halter dress with brown faux suede waist band and foam panel skirt, a single arm cuff and a gold rope headband, and black cutout detail peep toe thigh high heels gladiator sandals. “Thanks.” Ella thanked. “No problem. I’m Akana.” Akana introduced. “So your Queen knew we were coming?” Mavis asked. “Yes, she knew you were going to be here.” Akana answered as she stopped at a temple pyramid made out of stone. They climbed up the steps till they got to the top where two guards stood. They saw Akana and let them thru. “Queen Sacniete.” Akana bowed, so did everyone else.

The queen had jet black hair, tan skin, and green eyes. The dress has an asymmetrical cut where it is shortest in front. It is made entirely of red and canard blue velvet. The neckline is marked with an edge in a Mayan pattern that goes down the chest while the opening at the bottom is decorated with a ribbon in gold brocade. The corset of gold brocade with black, red and blue Aztec motifs is held by two knotted cords. Two rows of golden pearls follow the movements of the hips while the rigid gilded cross adorns the middle of the dress. It sophisticates the waist and emphasizes the chest. The majestic headgear is made of latex and covered with a number of red feathers. Part of the headgear covers the forehead. The necklace consists of golden stiff plates, while the wrists repeat the same patterns from the neckline. Finally, there are two scarves in golden tulle that are supposed to be a royal tow. They are fastened to the gold-plated bracelet bracelet.

“I suppose you're the ones Hawkgirl has informed me about.” Sacniete guessed as Kami nodded. “Well, there no need for such formality.” Sacniete chuckled as they got up. “Your here for the Healing Water, yes?” Sacniete asked. “Yeah.” Maya answered. “This water is very powerful. It can healing any wounds or illness, but if it ended up in the wrong hands it can cause world destruction.” Sacniete warned as they reached a gold pair of doors. Sacniete placed her hand on the door causing it to open to reveal a giant round pool filled with sparkling crystal blue water. “Ohh.” Everyone said, well almost everyone, Elinor still didn’t believe the water worked. “Please, water that can cure blindness. Next they’ll be saying that orange juice can cure cancer.” Elinor scoffed. “Does it actually work?” Elinor asked. “Why don’t you try it out.” Sacniete answered as they all walked towards the pool.

Elinor and Charlotte both came close to the water. Sacniete came up behind them with a sinister look on her face. “Why don’t you two take a swim.” Sanciete smirked as she pushed them both of them in causing the water to turn green. Charlotte and Elinor tried to swim to the surface but it was like there was an invisible wall blocking them. They started to pound on the top of the pool but it was no use, their vision started to fade,

I looked over to Elinor to see she was out cold. “Elinor” I yelled thru the ear piece, but there was no response. “Hey Elinor!! Pull yourself together!!” I yelled again but still no response, I started to hear static. “Damnit! I’m losing connection. Elinor wake up for god sakes!!” But my connection was lost and things were becoming more blurry. I swam over to Elinor and clasped onto her shoulders shaking her. Wake the fuck up!! I’m not losing you Elinor! I thought, my shaking became slower. Shit! I’m losing motion! I used every fiber in my body to try and stay conscious, but it was no use. Everything went black.

So this is what it’s like to be on the brink of death huh? It feel nice in a way, silent and peaceful. So I’m gonna be one of the people that die in their teenage years? Well, I guess I could deal with that. I could finally see what heavens like. I bet everything there is white, and the streets are made of fluffy golden cream clouds, and the walls are soft as silk. That sounds nice, to be in heaven, no worries at all, no running away from bad guys. It sounds delightful, I can finally be free, I won't need to worry about any bad guys anymore. A white lights appearing, so it is my time huh. Well at least I didn’t die on my own. I think Elinor is still there next to me. “Come with us.” The light sang. Angles, so it’s true what they say about them, they do sing beautifully.

After hours of sinking it wasn’t black anymore. It was white emptiness. It was just me. “Am I dead?” I asked, and seconds later I realized there was nobody to answer my question. “Hello Charlotte.” A voice greeted. “Where am I? I’m not dead am I?” I asked. “No Charlotte, you’re not dead.” The voice answered. “Then where am I?” I asked again. “This is the Middle Realm.” The voice answered. “Middle Realm?” “Basically, you’re not dead, but your not alive either.” The voice answered. “Wait where’s Elinor?” I asked. “She’s alive. After you blackout your body kept sinking, but Elinor’s psychic powers used the last part of energy Elinor’s body to float her back up to the surface.” The voice explained. “So exactly how do I get out?” I asked. “Someone on the outside has to find you and wake you up.” The voice answered.

“Oh that’s all? Well I’m sure Aqua is looking for me as we speak.” I smiled. “The have everyone captured. Even Aqua.” The voice said. “Damnit. Hmm. Oh! That shell the water nymph from The River of Flaming Tears gave me in case of emergency.” I nodded and looked into my bag but the shell wasn’t there. “I’m guessing I can’t use that either huh?” I sighed. “Nope.” The voice answered. “So, I’m just gonna die?” I asked. “Basically.” The voice answered

A Q U A

“Charlotte’s dead!!” I sobbed. Me and the rest of the pet we’re locked in a dark room. “The boss is gonna kill me!!” I sobbed even harder. “For god sakes.” Cupid Jr sighed. “Calm down she’s probably not dead.” Cebalia, Piper familiar. “It’s been 20 minutes and she hasn’t came up!!” I sobbed. “Maybe, she’s coming up to the surface as we speak.” Psych guessed. “You do know if your not dead then she alive, right Aqua?” Flames reminded me. I automatically cheered up. “You’re right!!” I smiled as I hugged Flames. “Sayla. Can you sense her life force?” I asked. “Yeah, but it’s very vague.” Sayla, Kami’s familiar answered. “Well we’re is she?” Sparky asked. “In the Middle Realm.” Sayla answered. “So that mean all we need to do is find her body!” I smiled as I started clawing at the door until a small hole was created for me to exit. I sneaked pass the Sancitete and made it to the pool.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was still in middle realm trying to figure out how to get out. Charlotte looked up to see that all the walls were mirror like. She created a water ball in her hand and threw it at wall but it bounced off it and hit multiple other mirrors until it hit on mirror breaking it. She looked inside to see it was Aqua swimming towards her lifeless body. Aqua brought her body to the surface and started doing CPR. Charlotte see the middle realm was disappearing and she was back in her normal body! She woke up coughing up some of the water. She looked around to see everyone was there except Sancitete. “Where's Sancitete?” Charlotte asked. “The guards caught her. They also gave us the healing water as well.” Carly answered. “Now we can mix all the ingredients together to find the Infinity Orb.” Daniel added as Roxy brought out the ingredients and mixed them together making a blue mist appear showing Poseidon's triton with the water infinity orb in the middle of it. “So it looks like Poseidon has the infinity orb.” Noah observed. “To Poseidon’s Lair!!” Ethan announced.
