door to find a round glass hallway that went around the bottom of a huge lab room where Ella was chained in a simple outdoors-themed habitat. She had forgotten her helmet, and people started asking her questions, Ella saw her and started fighting the chains even more, distracting the pixy workers. May’s friend was hiding in a little corner. He was waiting for her. The two locked all the workers in the habitat with Ella and they started looking around at all the buttons and switches. Everything was written in pixy, which ____ luckily knew how to read. He used one of his simple wizard spells to teleport the wizard and his equipment here so he could cast the spell. He would have teleported them to him instead, but phoenixes can’t be teleported by wizard magic, and Ella was inside the habitat, and they were in the little glass hallway. The wizard cast a spell to make them switch places with the workers, so they were in the habitat with Ella and the workers were in the glass hallway. Elkabar came into the glass hallway and with Ella’s journal in his hand and saw the wizard about to cast the spell. He broke into the habitat room magically and destroyed the spell. He told them that spell would kill her. It would destroy all the magic and while Ella was in this form, that would destroy her completely. He then said he knew how to return her to her normal form, but everyone would have to leave except for May. He told May she was the only one who could break the spell. It wasn’t a matter of magic, it was different. Ella was grieving over having killed May. The real May. She felt she deserved rejection and being trapped as a phoenix. He told May he was going to give her temporary powers, but she would only have them for two minutes. She would have to cast a very intricate spell. He didn’t tell her what it would do, only that it would result in Ella returning to her regular form. May was given the powers and she cast the spell. It took a while, May felt different when it was over. Ella had returned. She and May hugged for a long time. When they broke away from the hug, Ella noticed Elkabar. She started shooting spells at him frantically, pulling May behind her. May stopped her and told her (with some assistance from Elkabar) the truth of everything that had happened. Ella forgave Elkabar after his many frantic apologies were put to an end. Elkabar had a grand coach prepared for them to take back to their parents and home. Elkabar, Ella, May and _____? Talked on their long journey back. When they did get home, Ella and May explained everything to their parents (well their mom and May’s kinda dad?) everything that needed explaining, ____ listened and was still slightly confused. After that Ella still had her powers and she used them regularly, she visited Elkabar a lot and May joined in sometimes. The wizard was paid for his troubles by Elkabar, and as for _____, he and May became greater friends than they were when they were kids.

He was the one in charge. Elkabar they called him. Elkabar was the king of pixies, even though he was an elf. Part pixy, some say, but mostly elf. May was mistaken for the general and got sent in with him. She hid immediately. Elkabar started going over his plan, from the beginning. He spoke out loud about his whole plan. Here it is: He was, and is, in love with May and Ella’s mother. He believed Ella was his child and that she was rightfully his. He sent people to steal her one night and tested to see if this was true. It was. Ella was Elkabar’s biological daughter. He saw that she had some power, but if it wasn’t added to, it wouldn’t evolve at all. She would be powerless. So he put some of his power into her. A little too much. She was given more power than her young self could handle, and removing it would kill her. So he had to leave her, put her back. When he found out she had a sister, he wanted to do the same to her, but Ella had started making her own mind and way. She took May, but instead of leaving her where she was being forced (by magic) to, she threw her off a cliff into the raging river below. Elkabar was furious, but partially proud of his daughter for disobeying him so. He got his subjects to kidnap Ella every year after that, and put sleeping dust on her so she wouldn't remember him the next day. He would give her a little more power each year, most years too much. He did this until her 18th birthday, when he put far too much power into her. She didn’t remember him, but all the power inside of her knew where it came from, and she was forced to go to her father. When she arrives she hooks herself (unconsciously, her power does this to her) up to the power-giving crystal. She had only gotten power from Elkabar, not straight from the power crystal. This crystal had endless power, but could only be given to people who had been born with even a small piece of power. Elkabar found her just in time, and quickly removed her from the crystal, knowing too much power would kill her. She was still unconscious, her power controlled her movements. Elkabar quickly got her removed from the fortress, afraid she would awaken at any moment. Then she started transforming, he tried to stop it but couldn’t. Soon she was a phoenix, and he could do nothing but flee back into the fortress. She was more powerful than him. She flew away and he searched for her until his search team found her in the woods. He took her back here and tried to reverse the transformation. He had been having little success. He started breaking down, as he spoke to himself. May took off her helmet and walked over to him, her kindness overflowing her fear of the evil elf king. He asked who she was, she told him. He used his power to slam her back against the wall, but as his power was linked with Ella’s, he couldn’t hurt her, and she was lowered to her feet. He was confused and May tossed him the journal, told him it was something to read, from his daughter. She ran out of the room and searched through the fortress to find Ella. She did, Ella was screaming (phoenix screams are loud) the ground was also slightly vibrating. May entered through a door to find a round glass hallway that went around the bottom of a huge lab room where Ella was chained in a simple outdoors-themed habitat.

When they came to his house a gnome? family answered and told them the wizard had moved much farther up the hill. The girls set off there and found the wizard. He told them he was out of business, he had been for years. May begged him, until he agreed to go and see Ella. Ella was hiding a little ways away, she had to stay away from the town, the first town they visited guards were sent out to attack Ella. The wizard was dumbfounded, May showed him the journal with Ella’s permission. The wizard cast a spell to check and see what happened. He found evil pixie? elf? magic embedded in Ella’s heart and head. He said he needed special ingredients for a spell. He also said they’d have to travel a long way to get these ingredients. They went and got the ingredients after struggling a lot. The wizard had to head back to his place to cast the spell. Partway through their journey back the pixie/elf? took Ella and ran off with her. They had a huge magical thing to transport her? The wizard and May awake to find Ella gone and go searching for her. On their searches, they reach the wizard's house. He tells May he is too old to journey like this. He tells her he will stay and prepare the spell, and he will await May and Ella’s return. May has to journey out alone to find her lost sister. Or will she? She goes to find a childhood friend of hers to assist her in the rescue of her sister.
