Eclipse

Once upon a time, in the land of Arcenda, two young twins were working on their parents farm. They were secretly members of the DGPP, which stands for Demi-Gods Protection Program. The time that they were supposedly spending in school, they were actually training with their private-power-trainer on Mt. Eclipse. Their names were Apola and Artema. But they weren't the only ones training with Master Prue. Lavender, Sierra and Mandye were also working with him. One class that they all participated in was one where they could locate which god they all came from. Lavender, with her brains and beauty, came from Zeus, although her powers were a little bit different to her fathers, she could control plant life. Sierra came from Hades and he had decided that, when he was older, he was going to take his fathers place in the Underworld. Mandye came from Poseiden and wanted to take his fathers place in Atlantis. Apola and Artema came from Apolo and Artemis and they got their powers from the Sun and the Moon.

40 years later

A messenger could be seen riding up the mountain on a pure white stallion which symbolised that it came from Mt. Olympus. When the messenger got to the temple, Master Prue took the message that he beared with great disdain and sent him on his way. What he didn't know was that when he opened it he was going to get the biggest shock of his life.

I am so sorry to inform you that Mt. Olympus has been overrun with mindless, undead spirits. The other Sages and I serve their master, the Mamrakoo. It is the master spirit that took the body of Master Sage Orcon and placed itself inside. If we Sages do anything out of order we get a warning and then if we do it or anything else again, we get thrown into the volcano. I hope you will send your finest elite team to help us.

Yours truly

Your brother

Sage Orston

Master Prue set to work alerting the team. Apola and Artema were the first to arrive, followed by Sierra. Lavender and Mandye were the last to arrive but they had the perfect excuse, they were being held up by killer bees in Lavenders treehouse home. When they were all set they left on the long, arduous journey to Mt. Olympus. Their first stop was to be at the lustrous castle of Mandyes friend Mystra. The journey to the castle meant that they would have to travel for five to six days, which no one really minded.

Walking down the beaten track, Mandye noticed a glint of white in the distance. He edged closer to it and realised that it was the pearly gates of the Mystra Mansion. He called out to the rest of the group and opened the gates. A servant looking person came running through the hexagonal courtyard towards the group. He took one look at Mandye and hurried them inside. They were met in the entrance hall by a woman with a large headdress on. She greeted the group one by one and then motioned for them to move into the dining room. They sat down and realised when she took it off what the headdress was for. It was to hide the snakes she has instead of hair. She was obviously the daughter of Medusa.

Artema was walking down the hallway heading towards the bathroom when she heard the words 'Yess Master' 'I will take care of them', coming from behind Mystras door. She got scared, ran to Mandyes room and told him everything.

The next morning, during breakfast, Mandye told Mystra that the group had to leave on matters most important. So they left the back way so that they could go further west. Next stop was at Lavenders treehouse. It would take less time than it did to reach Mystras castle but they had to cross Dragons Pass, which no one did unless it was absolutely necessary.

O

On the road up to Rainbow Peak, which was located at the bottom of Dragons Pass, Artema stopped dead in his tracks. He could feel his power draining as the moon went down. He kept walking so as not to worry anyone. Of course Apola did notice, because she could feel her power coming back to her, but she didn't say anything. They got up to the entrance to Rainbow Mountain. Sierra knocked on the door and they opened at his touch and as he walked in the torches on the wall lit and started to glow with all the different colours of the rainbow. Towards the end of the tunnel Mandye could hear the sound of flowing water and flapping wings. Then all of a sudden they were at the mouth of the cave. Through the water Lavender could see glints of colours. They stepped through and it was like they were thrown into a rainbow. They were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of dragons. They were all different colours. The group stopped the wonderment and awe and went down the cliff towards Lavenders treehouse.
