"Who is Violetta and Nephina?"

Steve asked as he noticed the surprised look on Asling's face at the mention of the two women.

"Nephina is the guardian of Neptune."

She replied, clearly she wasn't important to the story,

"But Violetta was the guardian of Pluto."

"What do you mean by 'was'?"

Steve asked.

"Did she like die or something?"

He added.

"Well... or something."

Asling replied.

"I'm sure we'll see it happen soon."

Asling said, turning her attention back to the scene on the ceiling. Kierran now was walking with another woman along a peaceful shoreline. She had long black hair and deep brown eyes. Her skin was a lovely shade of brown as well, to Steve she looked like a woman from India. She was beautiful and her demeanor seemed elegantly peaceful. She wore robes of black and purple that fluttered around her in the wind as she walked with Kierran.

"Lupin tells me you've been reading a lot."

Violetta mentioned as they walked. Asling was surprised to see just the two of them walking alone. She never knew her master was close with the guardian of Pluto.

"Yeah."

Kierran said loftily as if he were in a daze.

"You know, self teaching is a lot of work, Vi."

He added with a grin. Asling's eyes widened at the nickname and the slight blush on Kierran's cheeks. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"He also tells me that you have taken on a bizarre and concerning interest into dark magick."

Violetta noted and Kierran's lovestruck demeanor instantly fell.

"Lupin doesn't know what he's talking about."

Kierran snarled. Violette didn't even flinch at his sudden change of attitude, if anything she looked stern.

"He's just concerned."

Violetta replied.

"And, honestly, so am I."

She said. Kierran's brows raised.

"You are?"

He asked.

"I am, yes."

Violetta said with a nod.

"You've been spending too much time locked up in your room with you and your books. Too much time with your nose in the books alone is concerning, but also dabbling with dark magick as well on your own is straight up alarming."

She said.

"You aren't being careful, Kierran."

She said, her deep brown eyes looked as if they were filling with worry as she looked up at him.

"I have everything under control."

Kierran assured her firmly.

"But Kierran,"

Violetta said as she took his hands in hers.

"I'm worried you might go too far. Guarding the dark magick has always been my job, the job of Pluto. Please don't go too far... maybe if you had someone to help you-"

"Well I don't!"

Kierran said in a sudden outburst as he pushed her away.

"Jørgen is dead. Remember? I don't have a master and I don't need one."

Violetta, once again didn't looked surprised. But she didn look disappointed this time.

"I don't need anyone else to teach me magick. I've got it under control."

"This may be a wild guess,"

Steve said to Asling quietly,

"But I don't think he has it under control."

He added but Asling didn't respond.

"It is forbidden for Guardians to have relationships."

She muttered mostly to herself.

"Especially not with each other."

She added.

"Are you talking about your master and that other chick?"

"Violetta."

Asling corrected him.

"It didn't seem very forbidden to them."

He noted and the vision shifted again. Kierran sat in his study alone once more, book infront of him, eyes dark, and whisps of dark magick flowed around him freely. A portal opened in front of him and Asling and Steve couldn't see what was on the other side but they could hear it. It spoke to Kierran in a menacing tone.

"What is your progress?"

The voice asked.

"Soon master, I will open the gate soon."

The term "Master" Seemed to catch Asling's interest as she perked up as soon as Kierran uttered the word.

"Jørgen?"

Asling muttered as she watched. But she was very certain it was not Kierran's former master.

"Soon is not good enough, Kierran."

The voice replied harshly.

"I know- I just- I need more time... I need to practice this power more- it's new to me."

He replied.

"Open the gate, Kierran, only then can I give you the power you desire. The power to prove everyone that they were wrong about you, thinking a boy couldn't teach himself the ways of the guardians. You still want to prove them wrong don't you?"

The voice asked and Kierran nodded.

"You still want to make your master proud of you don't you? Jørgen Would want this for you."

Kierran seemed to flinch at the mention of the old master.

"Yes."

He agreed.

"Then finish it."

The voice replied

"Only then can I-"

"Kierran!"

A new voice shrieked and the son of Jupiter turned to see Violetta who had entered his study without knocking, witnessing him using dark magick to communicate with something horrible. The portal vanished but the damage had been done.

"How could you-"

Violetta began but Lupin appeared behind her not long later.

"What's going on? I heard shouting."

He said out of breath. Violetta looked to Kierran and opened her mouth to speak but Kierran beat her to it.

"It was her!"

He shouted as he pointed a finger at the woman.

"I found her using dark magick!"

He added, Violetta's mouth dropped in shock.

"Kierran..."

She muttered.

"I saw her using it and she came here to convince me not to tell anyone about it, she's been trying to teach it to me secretly- she's why I have become so interested in it. This woman has been forcing it upon me!"

He shouted, sounding enraged. Lupin seemed to be just as surprised as Violetta.

"Is this true?"

He asked.

"Of course not!"

Violetta replied.

"But you are the guardian of Pluto, responsible for dark magick."

He replied.

"You would know more than any of us about the subject."

"But that doesn't make me guilty!"

"It's my word against yours."

Kierran added.

"Pluto's name is already tarnished from your master."

He hissed.

"Do not bring Tanea into this!"

Violetta shrieked.

"I think I've heard enough."

Lupin said, his voice much louder then the others.

"I have too."

Violetta said confidently.

"Violetta you will come with me."

Lupin said.

"And await trial from the other guardians."

"What?!"

The woman shrieked.

"You can't be serious."

She added.

"Kierran! Kierran tell him!"

But the vision faded and the mist cleared and the room returned to it's normal state.
