Chapter 1: A New Destiny

A long time ago,

When Earth was still a young planet

, all spirits and creatures lived under the same sky.

Universe was one huge kingdom.

Then spirits and creatures started to feel hate

And the world was split to those who wanted peace

And those who lived on others suffering.

Both were separated with a veil.

Evil was evicted into a dark place called Metamoor.

But before the universe split up forever it gave birth to a castle in the middle of infinity.

This castle is called Candracar, and it is where the most powerful creatures and spirits lived.

Candracar is where the Oracle watches over the infinite dimensions. And it is the same Candracar which the Guardians saved in their last battle against Dark Mother, also known as the once beautiful and great queen of (the power of) Earth, Meter, but who got corrupted by her own power and had to fight the other elemental queens.

Yan-Lin, who after this incident became the new Oracle, was meditating on the next mission for the Guardians. They received the "pure" form of their powers Water, Air, Earth, Fire and the Energy which keeps them together and they found their roots. They found many magical people throughout Heatherfield and they taught them how to use their magic. They have fought in a dimension which was not known to Candracar and helped the people there. And now it's time for a next mission… But the problem was Yan-Lin didn't know what the mission would be or where. Arkhanta was as peaceful as ever, Metamoor shined even more since Elyon became their queen and Earth has been kept out of trouble for some time now.

But something was off the hook. Earth seemed to get ready for something big and not only Earth but all the other dimensions.

Yan-Lin heard a sound that interrupted her meditation, which was rare. It came from the Chamber of Elements where the transfiguring cards were kept. The elements use those cards to contact the Oracle, mostly when they are planning to put the Guardians to a test. Yan-Lin wanted to go back to her meditation because if it would be urgent she would have seen things before. But then the sound became louder and more aggressive. Now Yan-Lin was worried. What in heavens sake could be wrong? She thought. And she hurried to the room.

When she was about to open the door she heard someone calling. "Oracle, what's going on?" Endarno asked. "Whole Candracar is shaking!" "I know Endarno, I know. It comes from the Chamber of Elements.". "The Chamber of Elements?" Endarno asked concerned. "Is there something wrong?" "I don't know Endarno, but this may result to the most interesting thing that Candracar has ever seen since the start of the Guardianship of W.I.T.C.H." Yan-Lin opened the door with Endarno by her side and what they saw was incredible. It looked like the cards were doing gymnastics. Endarno and Yan-Lin were looking at it with the biggest amazement they could muster. But the message was clear. And Yan-Lin knew this wouldn't be an easy thing but the new Goddesses would appear soon. Too soon.

"Hey! Hellllloooo! Do we have contact Will?" Will awoke just in time to dodge Irma's pillow. Last night the sleep over was a little… uhm rough? They talked about how their pupils had grown in their magic, about the trouble William, Will's baby brother, is giving Will only because he is also capable of doing magic and that he keeps showing it during crèche or in front of their parents but it turned into a heavy "fight" about who had the right to give Will a big party 'cause she was turning 16 next Friday, in the last week before school starts.

"So it's settled?" Irma said. "We are giving are students a surprise test?" She said it with a big grin and with "Ooh I'm going to enjoy this" written all over her face. "Yes, Yes, Irma but it's going to happen on the SAME day, understood?" Cornelia said with a smile. "Sure, sure Corny and how about Will's bir…" But right when she wanted to finish her sentence Hay-Lin slapped her hand on Irma's mouth. "Shssh!" she hissed. "You wakened her! And now you wanna spoil her party too?" she whispered as quietly as she could. "Sorry, wasn't thinking." Irma said. "Oh?" Cornelia said with false amazement, "So you're telling us that you normally think before you say something?" "Yes Corny, 'cause if I brush my hair I don't brush my brain cells away!" Irma retorted. "That's because you don't have any Irmy!" Cornelia shouted back. "Hey could it be possible for the two of you to quit fighting each other from sunrise till night?" asked Will sleepily.

The rest of the morning everyone was quiet and Irma and Cornelia didn't even look at each other. Will on the other hand looked like she'd seen a ghost or worse but when Taranee asked her if something was wrong she smiled and told her it was nothing. Just when they were about to leave Irma asked Will if she could hang with them this afternoon. But Will told her she had a couple of things to do. Then she waved at them and quickly closed the door. "Strange isn't it? I mean yesterday she said she had nothing to do and now she says she has!" Irma said. "Maybe she is something hiding from us. She acted weird this morning. Maybe she found a way to kill us! Or that she has been replaced by a monster or that an evil spirit is controlling her! Or maybe…!". "No Irma, please don't start." Taranee said. "She just acted as everyone would if they were waken at such a rude way. It's not like she'd seen the future or something." "You'll never know Taranee, you'll never know." Irma said at the same tone as their former Oracle would have done. And they walked on discussing about Will's party without realizing that they were right in more ways than one.
