Their Names Across The Multiverse

Spark stared at Sunset and the rest of Blitz's friends, unsure what to say or do. Sunset let her go, but she was taken aback when she realized Spark was taller than her and the others.

"Geeze, we see where all of the Tall genes went." She laughed. "Man, poor Blitz! Even though all three of you are the same age, she's the smallest."

Wallflower giggled, who was still somewhat human but still looked like a nymph, remembering how much Blitz hated her smallness.

"She was never the tallest person," she said, and the others agreed, joining in the laughter.

Sunset chuckled and turned back to Spark, who was staring at her. "Spark, is something wrong?"

Spark blinked and slowly scanned Blitz's friends. She had never met them in real life, but she knew everything about them as she looked through Blitz's eyes when she lived in that universe for the last five years. So, seeing them all here, it felt like she was re-meeting her friends.

"Spark?" whispered Tempesta, who looked like Tempest but without the broken horn, as she and everyone else could see a tear falling down her cheek.

Spark shook her head, then wiped her tears away. What she felt wasn't her own but Blitz's feelings if she was alive. It wasn't right. These aren't her friends, so she shouldn't feel like this.

"Sorry," replied Spark, feeling ashamed of herself.

Brishen, who loomed over the rest of his friends as he became his Equestria counterpart, The Storm King, crossed his arms and wondered what Spark meant by sorry. He was about to ask her, but Wallflower spoke first.

"It's fine, Spark," said Wallflower, giving her a friendly smile.

Tempesta turned to her friends and pulled Sunset to the side. Unsure this was a good idea, she remembered Lucy's phone call.

"Hey, where's Lucy?" asked Brishen, stopping and looking around for Lucy but seeing the hateful glares from all the town folks that walked by. He remembered how he learned his Equestria counterpart was an evil asshole and did awful things across Equestria, so he couldn't blame the creatures for giving him such glares.

"Lucy?"

The girls looked at him, confused, and realized Lucy had left the group. Tempesta sighed loudly.
"She might have gotten lost or got left behind like always. Should we look for her?"

"No, let her be," replied Sunset, crossing her arms. "Lucy needs some time alone after what happened." She looked down slightly more. "We all do."

Wallflower could see all of her friends becoming sad and depressed, remembering how Blitz was gone. She held the map of the large town, as she was the one who planned this outing to New Ponyville. She wanted everyone to get their minds off Blitz's death, but now, they were thinking of her and the events that transpired.

"Hey," she called, getting her friend's attention. She held out the map. "Remember why we're here! To help Sunset!" She looked for the Mayor building on the map, "Blitz and Braver's parents told us the truth, that once fused, it can't be undone unless a third party injected themself into the fusion, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost! There has to be a way to get Sunny and Sunset to unfuse and return them to normal!"

Sunset looked at Wallflower, and she could tell she was smiling bravely, trying not to cry. She remembered her taking it the hardest when Blitz was...

"We know, but even if there is, how long can we keep doing this, Wallflower?" said Sunset, lowering her head. "We're running out of ideas, and we need to decide where I'll live soon—here in Equestria or back in your universe." She held her head in slight pain, as the headache wasn't like before, but it annoyed her still.

Tempesta placed a hoof on Sunset's leg, "We're doing our best, Sunny, but there is always a chance we'll figure this out. Sunburst believes that if we visit where Sunset lives and make you realize you aren't one person/pony, then the fusion should break."

Sunset nodded, knowing what she had said, but she was losing hope and thought she should live in their world, no matter what. However, a part of her felt so sad, losing her current life and friends. Her emotions were such a mess within her, like two people were indeed trying to take the wheel of a car, and it was going to crash if this kept going like this.

Ring Ring

"Huh?" Sunset could feel her new magical phone going off, and she took out her phone and looked at the caller ID.

"Must be Lucy, right? Or is it the Sunburst testing out his phone?" asked Brishen.

Sunset told everyone it was Lucy, and she answered it. She listened to Lucy talking about Spark being back and seemed to be suffering about who she was. Is she her own person or just a copy of her sisters? Hearing that, Sunset felt a slight connection, having similar thoughts and problems.

"We'll be right there, Lucy!" she said, hanging up and looking at her friends. "It looks like we have to wait about helping us; it seems Blitz's sister needs help!"

"She needs help, Tempesta. She's like us and feels like she's someone she's not. We know how that feels. Remember, we are one, and yet we're two. We have two personalities, one from each world. And sometimes, we forget who we are."

Tempesta nodded, understanding Sunset. The two turned back and could see Wallflower talking to Spark.

"How have you been, Spark? You didn't let us talk to you when you left like that." Wallflower grabbed Spark's hands, looking up to her and smiling. "So, let's start here, okay? My name is-"

"Your name is Wilma, but Blitz called you Wallflower because even if you're a Wallflower, you don't have to hide; Blitz won't forget or ignore you. No one should; you are unique, no matter what others say or think. So, don't ever hide." Spark could feel Wallflower's hands shaking. She let her go and placed her hands on Wallflower's cheeks, brushing the tears away. "She made her light a new tomorrow. Even if it's not perfect and isn't the best. Blitz wanted to share it with you. She wanted to shine her light on you, so you shine your light on her. You keep telling her she's as bright as a comet, but you shine just as brightly in the darkness. Why else does she keep finding you." Spark could see Wallflower crying nonstop, whispering Blitz's name like she was in front of her. This made Spark feel so bad, but a part of her wanted to say this to Wallflower again, and she didn't know why. Maybe she was feeling Blitz's feelings? Remembering how her sister felt when she first met Wallflower and, years later, having feelings for her.

"Blitz...are you..." but Wallflower stopped herself, remembering what Sunset told them from Lucy's phone call. Spark was trying to be Blitz, to make her happy. She held Spark's hands and moved them away from her face, creating a smile. "You aren't Blitz. Don't try to act like her; even if you watched over her when she was growing up, you just aren't her. Don't act like you are."

"I'm sorry," whispered Spark, lowering her head. "I...I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just..."

"I understand. You want to bring her back, but you aren't her." She squeezed her hands. "Everyone here took it hard when Blitz and Brave died. I want to say I took it much harder, but that's not true. We all were hurting." Wallflower pulled her into a hug. "And you have every right to be, too. Just don't forget that. You didn't kill your sisters. They died to give you a chance at life."

"I know, but..."

Wallflower shook her head. "Don't feel like this. It would be best if you lived the life they wanted you to have—to grow up and become your own person." She pulled away and looked up to her. "But that doesn't mean we won't welcome you into our lives. Let us show our kindness to you."

"You...you would?" Spark was surprised by this. "But...you don't even know me, and I took-"

Brishen walked over, almost meeting her eye to eye, giving her a smirk. "Of course we would, like why won't we? Your Blitz's sister, and we are our friends' family; we're her friends, so we are yours too." He crossed his arms. "But please, don't try to act like her. For one, you are too tall to be Blitz and..." he tried not to glare at the large chest in front of him but could feel someone giving him cold daggers, making him cough loudly. "She was pretty small...anyway, stop blaming yourself for something that wasn't your fault. You have nothing to apologize for." he gave her a thumbs up. "No matter what happens or where you go, we will always be here for you. So be selfless, and we'll give you all our friendship in return without asking anything back."

Sunset and Tempesta could see how much Wallflower and Brishen were able to cheer Spark up and could see the tears falling down her cheeks. They smiled, knowing their friends were the best people to have. Tempesta walked over and sat down but still gave Brishen a cold stare and looked up at Spark.

"You need to start being honest to yourself, you know. You can't keep lying to yourself about what happened. Blitz and Braver died, yes, but they didn't die for nothing. You can't let their sacrifice go in vain."

"But...but..." Spark lowered her head, not knowing what to say, and Sunset walked over, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"You need to start smiling! Start laughing again!" Sunset told her, smiling at her. She remembered what that alternate-universe Rainbow Dash said to her...

"You gotta let her go. It will hurt, but she's her own person. You can't force her to be someone she isn't. Just help her move forward, and the spark will return the flavor. Don't push her away like you did in the last rewrite. Just let her decide who she is. That's all you can do for her. Okay, Sunset?"

Sunset patted Spark's back hard, almost making her tip over. "You need to smile and laugh like I said, Spark. You can't live in self-doubt about who you are when you are already someone. You're you. So, don't ever doubt it. Be yourself. Just don't ever forget them, and always love them. But also, let them go so you can fly on your own." She signaled Spark to come closer to her, which she did, which allowed Sunset to put her in a headlock and mess up her mane again. "We'll be here to help you but also be your friends! Same with Blitz and Braver's parents! They're your family now, like it or not!" she let her go and stepped back with the others. "Look, it's not easy, not knowing who you are like we're going through that right now with ourselves. It's hard, like damn hard, but unlike us, you only got one living person within you." she pointed to her heart. "You can't force someone to be someone they're not; that's not helping anyone. But, simultaneously, you can't doubt yourself if you are someone. If you do, that's a lie." she patted her heart. "So, listen to it and find who you are. Not Blitz and Braver but yourself, Spark. Because at the end of the day, you are the only person who can help yourself. Only you can decide on that! No one can decide it but you! You decide who you are."

Spark listened to everything Sunset said and could hear her heart beating. She thought about what they said and knew what to do, so she opened her eyes and looked at them, her new friends. Her horn and eyes started to glow bright rainbow auras, covering Sunset only.

"Whoa, what are you doing to us!?"

Spark smiled at her. "Returning the flavor, Sunset and Sunny!"

With a bright flash that blinded everyone, Spark's aura died down, and everyone could hear Sunset's voice—but also another.

"Shit! What did you do!? My head is..." Sunny touched her head but realized it wasn't hurting like always. "Fine? WAIT..."

Everyone could see again and was happy that Sunny and Sunset were not fused anymore. Sunset looked at her body and looked toward Sunny, who was also checking her own body, but everyone could see she was still in her anthro form. Twilight asked Spark what she did.

"Remember? When did you four come into my Element core with Nightfall and Sky? You were unfused because of my powers. I can overcome any magical spell or universe effect," she blushed. "As you said, If Fayth is the living embodiment of fate itself, then I'm the living embodiment of what a spark is...moving forward, no matter the odds..." She smiled at Twilight. "So, thanks, m..." She wanted to say something, but something kept holding her back. "...Twilight. Thanks..." She turned to Sunset and the rest of the group, thanking them, but Twilight could tell something was still wrong with her, not just with her whole identity crisis.

Dash nudged Twilight's side, making her turn to her. "Hey, Twi. You noticed it, too, right?"

Twilight nodded. "Yeah. Something isn't right. Something is holding Spark back." She rubbed her chin, thinking.

"What do you think it is?"

"I'm not sure, Dash, but I felt it's related to her identity problem." Twilight and Dash eyed Spark, who was laughing with the others as Sunny tried to use her horn but blasted herself. "Just by looking at her, even though she's so close to us right now." Twilight's eyes had a tiny spark within them. "She feels so far away from all of us. It's like...she doesn't want to be a part of our lives."

"What!?"

Twilight shook her head. "It's hard to explain, but..."

"It's like she's afraid we'll hate her," said Dash, crossing her arms. "I don't care how often we have to keep telling her this, but we don't hate her! We love her!" Dash stopped flapping her wings and sat on the grassy ground, smiling at Spark, who was teaching Sunny how to control magic while Sunset joined in. "I don't know how to put these into words, but it felt like she was always with us! We raised Braver but also felt Spark was right there with her. We raised two daughters, not one...we love her, and if she dies, we'll miss her too..."

"I understand, Dash," said Twilight, sitting beside her. "I think, when Braver met each of her friends, I saw Bolt and all of the others by her side...But I guess I wasn't seeing them, only Spark herself. Just by being near her, you can feel her aura of constantly pushing forward, no matter the odds!" Twilight suddenly could hear Dash laughing a bit. "What's so funny, Dash?"

Dash looked at her. "Doesn't that sound like you, Twi?"

Twilight blushed deep red. "W-What!?"

Dash looked up at the beautiful blue sky. "Yeah, you constantly push yourself for our friends, no matter the situation. Look at how far we've come since we met you." She could see the clouds moving slowly and a bird flying by. "Like you said back then, a different kind of spark. You felt it when you realized how happy you were to hear and see us, how much you cared about us." Dash looked back at Twilight, giving her a cocky smile. "The spark ignited when you realized that we all... are your friends! We are a family, and we care about each other. That's what I love about you!"

Twilight smiled slightly and remembered how it felt when she realized the spark within her on that day. "Yeah, a family...no matter the distance, no matter the time apart." She placed her wing over Dash, pushing her forward, making the blue pegasus blush deep red. "The spark that resides in the heart of us all will always connect us, no matter how long we've been away from each other." She nuzzled Dash's face, making Dash's wings open up. "But Spark also sounds like you, you know?"

Dash snapped out of it and confusedly looked up at her. "What? How?"

Twilight looked at Spark, who was talking with Wallflower, asking where she got that puffy jacket. "Spark has a strong heart, pushing forward, never letting anyone stop her. Even if someone hurts her, she keeps moving, not caring how often she gets knocked down. She is loyal to her beliefs, protecting them, no matter the cost." She looked at Dash, who was trying to comprehend what she said, so Twilight grabbed her cheeks and pulled them apart, making Dash blush a deep red again. "I'm saying Spark acts like you! Always wanted to fly forward, not caring about anything, only flying! And..." She pulled her face closer to Dash's face. "If someone is in trouble, she will never stop helping them." Twilight closed her eyes and moved closer, their lips almost touching. "Just like you, Dash, she has the best parts of you." She covered Dash and herself with her wings, kissing Dash on the lips, feeling the nervousness from Dash's lips, but it quickly vanished as she returned the kiss.

Twilah was not too far from them, and seeing them kissing made her smile, but Twilight was right about Spark. She carries the best parts of them. Even with raising Blitz, she always felt like there was another kid beside Blitz.

"Spark, you aren't Blitz or Braver or a clone of your parents. You were raised alongside your sisters and picked up our best parts, the ones we want our kids to have. That's why." She closed her eyes. "Your sisters loved you when they learned of your existence and wanted to share their world. You keep thinking you stole their lives to have it, but you are wrong." Twilah opened her eyes, smiling. "We always felt you were with us, and you always will be, no matter what happens. Because you're part of our family," she said within her thoughts, knowing what was wrong with Spark. "That's what is still bothering you. You feel like you are inserting yourself into our lives or replacing our daughters." She looked over to Spark, who was walking over to her. "You aren't, Spark. We always had room for you." she nodded at herself, knowing what she needed to tell her. She opened her mouth, but she felt something like black seeds fall around her, and she could even see Spark's face filled with horror and rage.

"No, I'm not letting you fix this so soon, Twilah."

Twilah slowly turned, seeing Fayth near her face, smiling at her. For some odd reason, she couldn't move or do anything, only watch as Fayth wrote something in her book, tearing the page out and forming a glowing black twisted seed.

"I want her to suffer to go on a little more, and the best way to do that is." Fayth placed the seed on Twilah's chest, slowly pushing it inside of her until it vanished. "By changing your ending!"

"FAYTH!" yelled Spark, tackling Fayth away from Twilah and across the park. Twilah dropped to her knees, breathing hard like life was escaping from her, and everyone rushed toward her.

Fayth and Spark were trading blows. Their bodies were blurred, but even a regular person could see the fury in their attacks. The half of the park became a battleground as the two fought each other.

Spark grabbed Fayth by her collar. Her eyes beaming with rainbow fury, she screamed at her and asked her one thing.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!? ANSWER ME!"

Fayth gave her a twisted smile and, using her powers, made her body filled with sharp thorns, almost stabbing Spark, but she acted quickly and let go.

"What else, Spark? I didn't just change her story but also her ending!" she cast away her thorns and shut her book. "You shouldn't shown me any mercy! Now it's your fault for what happened to her!" she could see Spark's face and laughed, knowing her words hit hard. "That's right, Spark, all of this is your fault. How can you face Dashie now? Or even face your dead sister, knowing you destroyed her family!".

Spark's rainbow aura became faint. "N-No!" she shook her head. "That's a lie! It's your fault, not mine! You are the one who..." She stopped when she heard Blitz screaming for her mother in her mind. Spark covered her ears, trying to block out Blitz's screaming, knowing it wasn't real. "Stop it!"

"Stop what? I'm not doing anything to you." she pointed at her, giving her a twisted smile. "That's all you, Spark! You're doing that to yourself. Your guilt is making you do that." She faced away from her, dead leaves falling all around her. "You killed your sisters, now you destroyed one of their families, thinking you could insert yourself into it, thinking they'll accept and love you." she looked over her shoulder. "And yet, you still can't face it." She raised her hand, waving goodbye. "You don't have a place to belong. You are just a replacement for them, so start acting like it's because Twilah's ending is coming sooner than you think. Oh, and don't forget, Blitz is cursing your existence."

With those final words, Fayth left this universe, leaving a broken Rainbow Spark behind.

Spark slowly landed and dropped on all fours, her face filled with despair. She could still hear Blitz screaming for her mother, and just like Fayth told her, she could hear her cursing her existence. Spark was a clone, an imposter, not the real Rainbow Blitz or Braver Sparkle. She didn't belong here or anywhere.

"Ha..."

She failed to protect her new mother; no, she could not protect Blitz's mother, the family she left behind for her...no.

"Hahaha..."

The family and life she tried to steal away from her sisters. Fayth isn't the real bad guy here. Spark is the villain! She's the real bad guy here!

"HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

She killed her sisters, and she destroyed their family; she's a monster! She's a failure!

Spark started to cry while laughing, her rainbow aura increasing and her eyes becoming unstable rainbow lights. Behind her back, a rainbow halo started to form.

"I'M BREAKER OF THINGS!" She laughed as the land started to shake. "THAT'S RIGHT! MY REAL NAME WAS STAR BREAKER! BREAKER OF WORLDS AND STARS! A MONSTER, A WEAPON THAT WAS CREATED TO DESTROY ANYTHING!" she stood up, looking up at the sky, her horn and eyes shining. "THE ONLY REASON I WAS BORN INTO THIS WORLD WAS TO DESTROY IT!"

"Your teacher was right; you are like me, Sora, and Star Breaker combined, huh?" said a familiar voice, making Spark turn around and see...

"Suguri?" said Spark, her rainbow aura dying down slightly.

Suguri removed her black long-ear hoodie and smiled at her friend.

"Spark, don't be afraid to fail. You can run around in circles and say you don't care. Don't think that life's unfair." She walked over to her, stopping in front of her. "That's how the world goes; sometimes, we can't change it. That's why." She gently rubbed her cheek. "It's ok to fail, to cry. That's how we grow. So don't give up. Don't lose hope." She hugged her. "It's ok, just let it out."

"SUGURI!" cried Spark, wrapping her arms around her and hugging her tightly.

Suguri could see Sora within Spark, the girl who fought for the blue sky so that everyone could see again in her universe. Spark, her sisters, and their real mothers are from a crossover universe based on her and the FIM Prime universe. Suguri rubbed Spark's back.

"There there, let it all out."

The rainbow aura finally died down, and the rainbow halo vanished. Suguri made her let go.
"Sorry, Spark, I was chasing after her when I found her. She was heading here, and I thought I beat her, but..." Suguri looked down, ashamed. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost sight of her. This is all my fault."

Spark shook her head and hugged her again, crying. Suguri petted her head like a grandmother petting their grandkid. Once again, she made her let go and summoned a giant green sword and placed it on her shoulder.

"I'll go after her again, Spark. You are in no shape to face her. Stay here a bit and continue your story to them."

Spark was surprised that Suguri knew she was telling everyone what had happened before she arrived. Suguri took notice and smiled again.

"Luster told me after I helped save Cozy. So continue Spark, as you do." She turned away from her, and a rainbow halo appeared on Suguri's back, making her disappear. "Listen to the story you are retelling and remember why you gathered those folks and what lesson you wanted to teach those kids. You need a reminder of that same lesson, it seems." Her head slightly turned. "It's what you wanted to tell them. You can't hide from your own story meaning."

Those were Suguri's last words, and now Spark was left alone until she could hear Twilight and the others calling out to her as they raced toward her...

S.P.I.K.E, Twilah's AI-made version of Spike, started to scan Twilah's body, looking for any scans of anything that had been done on her, but he couldn't find anything as Twilah lay in Luster's bed, not feeling well. Dashie sat near her, gripping her hand and watching her, waiting for her to wake up.

"What happened to her?"

S.P.I.K.E. was silent, not wanting to answer.

"Come on, Spike. Twilah told me you are the most advanced AI in the world! I'm sure you can tell me what's going on with her. What did Fayth do to her?!"

S.P.I.K.E. sighed, giving up.

"I don't know. I don't see anything wrong with her, but she's not doing well."

"How can that be?"

"It's like the problem isn't physical but something else." He was quiet for a moment. "But what?"

Dashie was about to say something, but Twilight and Sunburst entered the room.

"Her fate was changed, Dashie," answered Sunburst, giving her a sad look. "We spoke to Spark, and it seems those black seeds are a written page from Fayth's book."

Twilight continued where Sunburst left off. "Remember, Fayth is the living embodiment of fate itself. She has the power to change someone's faith, which can impact their life, and it seems Twilah's life is being changed."

Dashie wanted to ask if there was a way to undo it, but she knew better. S.P.I.K.E. had already told her he didn't know what to do, so there wasn't anything or anyone could do. She gripped Twilah's hand.

After a few minutes, Sunburst left the room and headed back downstairs but found Spark waiting in the stairway. She wanted to see how Twilah was doing but couldn't bring herself to do it. Sunburst stopped, wondering what he should do or say.

"Do you think..."

"No," Sunburst said, cutting her off. "It's not your fault, Spark. So don't blame yourself for what happened." he walked past her, still talking to her. "My daughter told me what she did to you. She wants to see you when you're ready, and it wasn't your fault." he stopped, his back facing her. "You can't blame yourself for that or anything that happens, no matter how much you try." he walks down the steps and into the main lobby area of the library.

Spark could hear the others downstairs, even some new voices. She didn't want to go down there, not yet. Instead, she walked up the steps and into the hallway, seeing the open door to Luster's room and Dash leaning against the wall.

"Spark?"

She closed her eyes, not wanting to face Dash.

"I'm sorry," she said, opening her eyes. "It's my fault, Dash. Fayth is after me, so I should have done better to keep her away."

Dash stood up and sighed.

"Don't blame yourself, Spark. This wasn't your fault, and listen, well, no one blames you, okay?" she punched her arm playfully. "You remind me of Fluttershy, you know? Always blaming yourself for what's happening, even when it isn't your fault." she leaned against the wall. "So, don't worry, ok?"

Spark nodded, still looking down, and Dash could see it in her face. She could see how she was beating herself up.

"Spark? Are you there?"

Spark and Dash heard Twilah's voice, making them hurry inside. They saw Dashie smiling while Twilight and SP.I.K.E looked on.

"Is she getting better?" asked Dash, but she could see from Twi and S.P.I.K.E's faces that she wasn't.

Spark got closer and saw Twilah smiling at her and patting the side of the bed, motioning her to come and sit down. Spark did and was near her now.

"I'm glad you're here, Spark. I have something to tell you." Twilah told her in a weak tone. "But I want you to continue with your story first. I think it's best if you finish it before what I want to tell you."

"Are you sure, Twilah?"

Twilah nodded and gave her a weak smile.

"Yes. I don't know how much or little time I have left, and I don't want you to stop what you started." Twilah slowly grabbed Spark's hand and gently held it, giving her a small smile. "Don't worry about me. I'm glad I met you and all of you. So, please, tell the story you want to tell."

Spark didn't say anything; instead, she hugged Twilah. Twilah hugged her back, and then Spark stood back up.

"...okay, so after Snake and the others reached the next floor..."

Snake and company exited out of the spiral stairway and, once again, found themselves in front of a long tunnel. They walked through and, like every time, didn't see the glowing wood carving of a white unicorn.

"I see the light!" shouted Shiko, letting go of AJ's hand and running toward it.

"Sugar cube! Wait for us!" shouted AJ.

"Shiko! Don't run off like that!" shouted Snake, running after her.

They all stopped as the tunnel ended, and below them, outside of the tunnel, was an endless maze of mirrors and diamonds.

"A labyrinth?" said Snake, not sure why.

"Yeah, looks like it, Snake," said AJ as they all could see the Spiral Tower at the end of the vast area. "Now the question is, how do we reach the end AND find whoever is here?"

The group could see a path leading into the maze and walk toward it...

...While somewhere in the labyrinth, gunfire could be heard as a pretty middle-aged woman with white-ish and purple hair, wearing a tattered suit, raised her hand, unleashed a swarm of crows at something, and destroyed it.

She raised her hand, allowing one of the crows to fly near it.

"Where the fuck am I now? The twins would have shown up by now, and not only that." She looked around like she was looking for someone. "Where's Annabeth? Did she send me into this weird universe?"

She started to walk through the mirror maze, not noticing the mirrors showing a lighthouse and a figure of a girl standing near it...

End of Chapter 7
