Neverland
Neverland - Palace of Glass
Aurelia pranced towards Eli and hugged the stiff figure. She buried her face in his chest. "I knew you would love me once i got rid of everyone else that you loved!" She giggled, delirious with happiness, derived from her warped sense of reality and love. All of a sudden, she snapped out of it and released Eli from the hug.
Neverland, neverland,
Turn this city to glass
No one leaves, moves or sees
Never to escape till I release them
Her hands were raised in the air, her eyelids closed as she chanted the terrible spell in a low voice. Thick dark clouds immediately gathered, lightning flashed and rain poured down on the city as the city faded away from the rest of the world.

"No! No, no, no, no, no!!!" Victoria shouted over and over again as the Glass City faded before her eyes. She had returned from a far away city to her home, and saw the note her niece, Elsie wrote and placed on the dining table. It said that the Crown Prince, Eli, was going to propose to Elsie and that Elsie was going to the Palace and would return in time for dinner.
Eli...Eli... Why did the name seem so familiar to the witch? Oh dear... Ellison... The man that Aurelia loves! Oh no! Victoria thought. Victoria had seen unlimited potential in the young girl but also a deep darkness. Worried that Aurelia might do somthing to her niece, she dashed out of the house and mounted the brown horse in front of her house and rode towards the City immediately.
Yet as she rode towards the city, it started to disappear, one part at a time. She knew this spell. the NEVERLAND spell. The one invented and only used by the most powerful witches and wizards of all time. No!!! Her thoughts screamed as the City disappeared completely as her horse rode onto the periphery of where the City used to stand. Victoria rode hard to where the Palace used to be, now a dense forest, buried her face in her hands and started to weep. She knew that her niece was probably dead by now. Victoria was a powerful witch, but not so powerful to counteract this spell.
She rode away, desperate and pained, taking a last look at where the city once stood, vowing to find and destroy Aurelia.

In the palace, Aurelia opened her eyes slowly, lowering her arms and turning to Eli, a sickly sweet smile plastered on her face after the completion of the spell. She saw the horrified grimace on his face and the furrowed brow of pain and fear but saw it as a sweet smile in her sick mind. She looked down at the plain dress that she wore and frowned. "Hmm, a Queen cannot be seen like this, can she? I'll go get my crown and a nice dress. Wait here for me, won't you, my dear?" She threw him a delirious smile before prancing out of the ballroom, towards the Queen's room.
Once she left, Eli's knees could no longer hold him anymore as he collapsed, kneeling on the marble tiles. His eyes were wide, his mind swirling with too many emotions at too fast a time. "Ellison! Here!" Kevin called out to him from a mirror, his voice slightly muffled by the glass. Eli stumbled over to where the mirrors stood, tears trickling down his cheeks as he looked at his entrapped brothers.
