The Brink - The Past Becomes The Present

Arianah moved through the vistas, a small group behind her. She had encountered Brighton lounging in the Silver Lakes, claiming that he was the leader, his mate the Queen. Her elemental stones, including the diamond she cherished, were all missing. Something was not right. It was as if they had fallen asleep and all woken up, together, in this strange dream world when the gods were still mortals. Where was Delphinium, or Aprilia? She would figure it out, figure out a way to wake herself up from this awful nightmare.

In another part of the vistas, Axel, son of Rhone and Arianah, moved slowly though he too was contemplating this strange change.

He said, watching her eagerly feeling like he knew her from somewhere. "Of course. My name is Elryia, and I live under Brighton in the Silver Lakes."
