Chapter 39 The 4th Crystal

It was the next morning, when they were awakened by a large thump.

“What in The Shining Isle was that?”  Kalmar yawned as he stretched his arms. 

“That my boy is the sound of The Shining Isle of Anniera.” Esben said softly, for he couldn't believe that he was going to attack his own kingdom. 

Suddenly, Opal came barging in through the door to the dungeon. it was so abrupt that it nearly knocked Oskar's spectacles to the floor. 

“Hello Wingfeathers! It’s been a while since you've seen your home. Too bad you have to attack your own kingdom, also too bad that people have to find out that you're alive this way, isn't that right Esben?” Opal said mockingly to Esben. 

Janner hadn't really realized it till now but she was right, no one except for them knew that the great High King Esben Wingfeather who had been supposedly dead for more than the last ten and a half years, was actually alive. In fact, he was captured and tortured in a dark dungeon by a crazy, evil queen. When Janner thought of this, he thought to himself “Wow, my life is crazy.” He put pretty much everything that happened the last 2 years in sort of a zoomed out perspective. When he did that, he really got the sense of the fact that everything in his life is really messed up. 

Opal walked up to the cell door and pressed her thumb on the lock pad. It glowed a bright blue color and the cell door swung open. 

“Time to go get a crystal.” she said slowly, as each one of the Wingfeathers stepped out just like they had done many times before in single file. 

When they got out to Anniera, they were horrified to see that Castle Rysen had already been attacked. The Annierians were running to and fro, swinging swords like mad Toothy Cows. Green, gray, and bat fangs all were ransacking the palace and swinging their swords like they didn't have a care in the world.

 “Are you kidding me?” Kalmar moaned as he saw the multitude of Fangs. 

“It actually kind of makes sense that only the Fangs that sang the song turned back. I kind of forgot about the rest of them.” Janner said, wondering how he had not come to this conclusion before. But then he remembered the fact that in the moment he was thinking about more pressing things than the fact that all the rest of Anniera would still be attacked by Fangs. Incidents like stopping his brother from dying, taking a magical stone from his brother instead, and putting all the Fangs back to their former Glory (which they're actually Annierian). Also restoring his brother from a Fang to a normal human boy took a lot of time and emotions. 

Suddenly they saw, running straight from the castle, a man with a dark red cape flying in the wind and a girl who looked about Sara's age with messy black hair holding something above her head. It was a  purple shining diamond. The two ran all the way to the Wingfeathers. 

But not before the girl called “You're back! We're so sorry we didn't know that the fangs were attacking; They just kind of attacked and well, anyways, we found this super important thing that we don't really know what it is. It was labeled “Wingfeather” and it's like a diamond shape and we have no idea what it is, but it's super important. You need to see it right now because I don't really know what it is, but it looks important!” the girl said, as she slowed down when she got to them. 

“No! Maraly!” the kids said as Opal swiftly snatched the diamond shaped crystal out of Maraly's hands.

“Oh how long I've waited for this. Thank you, dear for saving me all the trouble of having to go through pounds of ancient Annierian history just to get Aerwiar’s crystal shard!” Opal said smugly, and she opened up Janner's pack and placed the crystal next to the other  two.

Gammon, who had just caught up with Maraly, saw the crystals in Janner's pack and looked at Opal. 

“Who might thou be”? he asked suspiciously.

 “My name is Queen Opal Stars and we shall be leaving now,” Opal said as she turned around. 

“What! We're just leaving?” Kalmar asked, confused. 

“Of course, the only reason why I came here was to get the crystal shard. I have the crystal shard now, so we're leaving. Actually, there is one more thing I have to do.” She said, as she turned around again to face the castle. She lifted her hands up, curled her fingertips and suddenly a burst of bluish green flame appeared. It burst out of her hands and she pulled her hands back and thrusted them forward, pushing all the power that was in her hands out to the castle. It wiped out every single one of the Fangs and turned them to dust. ”There!” she said as she wiped her hands together and turned back to the boat. 

“We're not going to go into the dungeon again...are we?” Kalmar asked even though he knew the answer to the question. 

She laughed and said, “I think you already know the answer to that. But you shouldn't assume anything, you never know what I may do.” She said grinning, as the Shapeshifters pushed the Wingfeathers back into the dark purple ship.
