Chapter 1: The Start of Extinction
Spring nymphs are also not born through... you know... they came from an item called "A Plant's Heart", they are "created" inside those then they will try to get out and that's how they are born. Like the imp, Harukia became a successor at a young age. She helped many nymphs do some simple missions like saving a forest from a wildfire (that's simple, for them). The rulers of the Spring Nymphs were known as the Moerae, the goddesses Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. They discovered that Harukia has some talent in her own sleeve, like Tinkerbell, she has Fairy Dust which can help in flying and she can create force fields.
"She could be a great help to her own kind, look how she helps the nymphs." Clotho said in a gentle voice.
"Yes, and also with her power to create force fields can help in building up protection." Lachesis said which looks like she's saying a prophecy, as she always do.
"Don't forget about the Fairy Dust, it can help in transportation, especially transporting people who just died to their own grave." Atropos said in a scary tone.
"Atropos, you really are enthusiastic with killing people..." Clotho smiles at Atropos
"Of course, that's why Zeus put me here..." Atropos still has that scary tone.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Darkness saw where the spring nymphs live.
"THIS COULD BE THE PLACE WHERE THOSE SPRING NYMPHS LIVE, THEY'D MAKE A PERFECT ITEM TO BE TRADED IN THE BLACK MARKET." He said staring at the palace in Spring Gardens.
He prepared some reapers to "kidnap" some spring nymphs and the threat began. The next day, news came out saying about the kidnappings and where the nymphs were sold. More days pass days and more spring nymphs went missing. The Moerae were afraid that this would happen so they collected every last spring nymphs in Spring Gardens. They prepared for the biggest spell they will ever cast. Harukia, who was currently a helper of Moerae that time, was the leader for the spell. But while they're chanting, it was distracted when reapers got some of them but fortunately, Harukia and some others survived. Then Harukia said that she can't stay longer serving Moerae with those kidnappings happening. She found the portal leading to world of mortals. Once she found she was in the middle of a sunflower field, she began her search for someone to help their tribe survive. At morning, she found a child, which is Daisuke, then introduced herself to him. She led Daisuke to the portal leading to Spring Gardens. At first, it was peaceful so they had a chance to talk to the Moerae. She showed the palace to Daisuke then entered in there, they found the Moerae doing their work despite on what's happening in the place.
"Good Morning To You, Oh Great Moerae..." greeted the spring nymph.
Clotho, the one who knits the thread of life, spoke to them.
"It's okay... I can sense that a new life will start with the spring nymphs and they will survive the challenge that Zeus or the Almighty gave them..."
Lachesis, the one who determines the length of the thread of life, spoke to them.
"But to survive, their own kind shall be corrupted with the Black Market and they have to pass the other challenges that Pluto gave them."
Finally, Atropos, the one who cuts the thread of life, spoke to them.
"Death will cover their kind... and the only way to survive is through faith!"
Later on, after the Moerae spoke, reapers from the Black Market came.
"We have come here to take more spring nymphs! We'll sell some of them in the Black Market while some will be punished in hell."
"Oh no, they're here, Daisuke let's go!" Harukia pulls Daisuke then took him to a safe place.
The Moerae spoke again together. "THIS IS THE START OF THE CALVARY, TO EVERY SPRING NYMPH IN THE PLACE, MAY THE GODS AND GODDESSES BE WITH YOU..." The Moerae vanished like a bubble that popped. The reaper was about to get Harukia when they heard a sonic scream, which is from the imp, causing the reaper to be confused, he hit a large part of the wall then fell to where Daisuke and Harukia are. Daisuke managed to get out while Harukia's legs are stuck, thanks to Daisuke, she got out but she's wounded. The reaper goes away saying "We'll be back! And once we get back, we'll ensure that you won't survive!"
Constantine took Harukia with them to aide her wounds. Once they left, the reapers came back, destroying everything leaving Harukia as one of the last spring nymphs, last protectors of nature.

Chapter 2: To Mount Olympus
When Harukia the spring nymph was completely healed, she took her time playing with Daisuke and the imp. But she remembered what did the Moerae prophesied to their kind. The imp and Daisuke became curious but the spring nymph said it's nothing to be worried about. The next day, the Spring Nymph seemed to be ready to leave. "Are you sure about this? I mean Daisuke would be sad if you leave this instant..."
"But I have to do this to know if some my sisters are still alive. I have to find the Moerae first."
Daisuke heard their conversion then tears began to fall while Constantine knew he was there.
"Why are you leaving, Harukia?"
"Daisuke, I have to do this just to know how will my kind will survive to this challenge... don't worry, I'll be back soon... I promise..."
Daisuke stopped crying then said... "Fine, go leave! I know that a promise is a promise, so... I know you'll be back!" Daisuke said with a smiling face.
Later that day, the nymph was ready to leave. All of them waved at her as she flies away to the big wide world. But before she leaves, she gave Daisuke a bag of fairy dust so that he can fly around the field sometimes.
As she continues to fly around the big world of mortals, she saw how did mortals abuse their environment, how do they make it dirty. From Tokyo, she flies over the countries of China, to the deserts of Iraq, crossing over the Aegean Sea until she reached where did their patron lives, Mount Olympus in Greece. In there, the city ain't what it used to be, it is now urbanized. The temples, where they used to worship, are now ruins. She goes to the top of the mountain to see Gaea, the Goddess of Earth. Even her temple are now ruins.
"Um... hello, is anybody here?" Harukia shouted while checking the temple.
"Now, what do you need, my little spring nymph." Lachesis greeted.
"I'm just here to check if Gaea's home." Harukia smiled.
"Isn't it nice that you survived the reapers of the Black Market." Lachesis smiled back.
Gaea came home from Demeter's temple. She saw Harukia and became happy when she saw her.
"Isn't it Harukia, the servant of my Moerae..." She said as she smile.
"I'm not their servant anymore..."
"Oh okay, let's go to River Euphrates to chat."
"But why there?" Harukia became curious.
"The view there is much nicer then here, and that's where the East and the West meet."
The two of them has gone to Euphrates River to chat. As they chat, Harukia found out that Gaea is the mother of the Moerae (Parcae) and the Erinyes (Furiae). They drink water from the river, which gave Harukia her powers back. After chatting, Gaea asked a favor to Harukia.
"Harukia, be sure to give this Seed* to Demeter, I can't get back to Olympus because I'll be busy in making oases here in the desert." plead Gaea.
"Okay, your Mighty Gaea, I'll give this Seed to Demeter."
*known as Titan's Legacy (Seed) on Gaia Online.
Harukia goes back to Mt. Olympus to give the Seed to Demeter. And she didn't even know that the Furiae took BlackCotton to hell to seal her up.
End of Chapter 2, To Be Continued
Chapter 3: From Hades To Underworld
Harukia goes back to Mount Olympus. She reached Demeter's temple, in there, she found Demeter sprinkling the grains over the land. Demeter's temple is like a beautiful gigantic garden when seen by a mortal.
"Um... excuse me, Earth-Mother." Harukia excused.
"What is it, my young nymph? Do you need something to be done by me?"
"Not, exactly, Earth-Mother, I'm here to give this seed." Harukia reached the Titan's Legacy (Seed) to Demeter.
"Oh, thank you, my young nymph... I was looking for this the whole day..."
Harukia and Demeter (Ceres) talked about the world, fertility of the lands, marriage, then Harukia accidentally said something.
"I thought Persephone (Kore) comes back every 6 months, now why is she not here?" Harukia asked curiously.
"Oh yes, I need to call Hermes now, we will bring Persephone."
"May I come with You, Earth-Mother?"
"Of course, you may, just behave yourself in there, the Hades is not a peaceful world..." Demeter warned Harukia.
"I understand, Earth-Mother."
When Hermes arrived together with his cute bunny pet*, they prepared for a flight.
*bunny pet = isn't it obvious, it's Hermes' Moon, an evolving item!
They reached the opening to hell. It seems quiet outside but inside, they heard a lot of screams and shouts, Harukia was scared.
"Don't be afraid, young nymph, it's their fault they ended up being tormented here..." Demeter calmed Harukia down.
As they continue, they saw how the souls are tormented, how they die again and again and again. They reached the darkest part of Hades, which is Hades' Throne. In there, they found Persephone waiting for them to come. When Persephone saw her Mother, she quickly runs to her then hugged her.
"I'm so happy that you're back, my Daughter..." Demeter said smiling. "We're going back to Greece now, Persephone will be staying there for 6 months."
"Of course... I know... But in 6 months, she'll be on my hands again... so you better give her back!" Hades warned Ceres (Demeter).
They leaved Hades as soon as possible. When they reached Greece, the Erinyes of Gaia appeared.
"Ssstop there, Ssspring Nymph, Lucifer wanted you to go to the Underworld, right now!" Megaera shouted at Harukia with a snake-like voice.
"Okay, I'll allow you to take her, but I must accompany her to ensure her safety." Hermes defended Harukia.
"That'sss okay... we won't do anything to her anyway..."
Harukia and Hermes comes with Megaera to Hell to meet Lucifer. While Demeter became more happier because Persephone, which makes the world more fertile. Harukia and Hermes walked through many dangerous paths to Lucifer's throne. In the throne, they saw Lucifer on his dark angel form.
"Nice to meet you, Harukia, spring nymph, and Hermes, messenger of gods" Lucifer greeted.
Lucifer then opened an opening to the bottomless pit and in there, they found BlackCotton sealed and unconscious.
End of Chapter 3, To Be Continued
Chapter 4: The Void of Space
Harukia was surprised on what she saw while Hermes is looking serious.
"Who is that, young nymph?" Hermes asked.
"She's a friend of mine, but how did she get here?"
Lucifer looked at them with a serious look.
"She is a traitor, she is once a great hell guardian then she just betrayed us, what a disgrace for our kind, so she must eliminated or..."
"Or what?!" Harukia became angry.
"She would be a perfect trap for Daisuke Mitsuki, the demon, I need his soul so that I can go back to my true form."
"No, you can't do that to a young kid like him! You're really evil!"
"And I guess you'll be joining her there!"
Lucifer created a gigantic shadow ball then threw it to Harukia and Hermes.
"Look out, Harukia!" Hermes pushed Harukia then he's the one who is sucked into the shadow ball.
Harukia was frozen with fear she shouted to Lucifer angrily.
"Why did you do that to Hermes, where does that ball leads?"
"It leads to Chaos*, the void of the universe! Once you're there you can't get out, unless you find out a way out."
*Chaos (Khaos) - In Greek myths, he is the god of air and the first Protogenoi (deities born in the beginning of the universe), and also considered as the original state of existence in which the first gods appear or the dark void of space.
"It can't be, why is this happening?!"
"That's what you get for allying with Daisuke and Constantine and also by escaping your own fate, you should be on the Black Market now!"
"Don't you think to---"
"Relax, I won't sell you there, you'll be joining Hermes in the Void!"
Lucifer created a vortex leading to the void. Harukia tried to shout for help to wake the imp but it's too late, she was sucked in.
In the void, you can't see anything. (here's a preview, they are nowhere to be found there, which means they're on a place farther then those voids, a fictional one, I call Chaos' Void.) It was very dark in there, only Harukia can see herself because of the fairy dust she emits. She's nervous on what might she see or feel around the Void, the Chaos' Void is different from any other voids, it is like a never-ending beach, in the horizon, light that can be seen but you can't reach it after a million years (Preview). Harukia tried to go to the light but she felt tired and wants to rest, because it's so dark, she didn't know where to go or where to stay but since it is the universe, she just let herself float around the Void. When she woke up, she saw aurora lights by the horizon, which made her more interested in what's there. She was surprised that she was near it already but it takes a million years to go there and she's still not yet aged. She saw a beautiful palace. It is shining really bright and it is floating above space. She entered the castle then saw Hermes.
"What is this place, Hermes?" she says as she looks around looking amazed.
"This is the castle of Chaos, the god of the wind. I never saw Him before, and as the messenger of the gods, I'm here to tell Him what's happening in Olympus."
"But where is he right now?"
"He's sitting on his throne, wanna go check?"
"Okay, let's go there."
They continued through the hallway leading to the throne room. As they entered, they saw a gigantic beast, which looks really hungry. They were frozen with fear.
"This is not good..."
End of Chapter 4, To Be Continued
Chapter 5: Getting Out
The beast they saw is actually a minotaur, the minotaur has a big double-edged axe. The minotaur swung the axe to them, the two of them got away safely. The minotaur kept in running after them. Hermes creates a ball of light and throws it to the minotaur, it was confused for while, which gives them a chance to escape. They tried to escape but th door of the throne room was closed and locked.
"Oh no, what now?" Harukia worries.
"Don't be afraid, young nymph, we'll get out of here."
He created a ball of fire, the Eternal Flame, and throws it to the door, but unfortunately, it didn't work. The minotaur gets up and throws a boomerang to them, when it was about to hit them, it was just countered by another boomerang and it prevented the boomerang from striking Hermes and Harukia.
"Sorry, if my pet bugged you..." It was Khaos, the god of wind, who saved them, as he speak a gentle breeze blows.
Harukia and Hermes looked at Him amazed, he is gigantic.
"If you're curious that I'm this huge, it's natural for me, I'm the God of Wind, a Protogenoi, and I represent the void. So it's obvious that I'm this big." As he talk like that, the wind blows a little strong, even though they're inside the Chaos' Void.
"It's really nice that I'm able to meet a Protogenoi... I never saw one before!" Harukia looked at Khaos smiling.
"Me too, now God of Wind, I'm here to tell you what's happening on Terra and Olympus."
"Okay... tell me it now, before you face what will happen next." Khaos' smiling face became a serious one, the wind blew hard.
And so, Hermes told Khaos what's happening on Earth and Mt. Olympus. Khaos then sounded stubborn.
"I don't care about Earth, especially Greece. They are only a part of my horrible past." He looks at the two. "I almost forgot... you will taste... WHAT REAL CHAOS IS!!!" He shouted and the wind blows hard, like a tornado.
"What is going on?!"
"Please explain, God of Wind..."
"Lucifer said that I will forget about my past if I... I... I'LL ELIMINATE ANYONE WHO DARES TO ENTER THE CHAOS' VOID, ESPECIALLY MY CASTLE!!!" As Khaos shouted, the wind blows like there is a hurricane. Some parts of the castle broke down, weakening the other parts.
"Please stop it, your home might be destroyed..." Harukia pleaded.
"I DON'T CARE, I JUST NEED TO KILL ANYONE WHO DARES TO ENTER MY VOID!!!" As He shouts more, the wind blows harder, which makes it stronger than a hurricane.
Some parts of the castle are flying to Harukia, Hermes blocked the scraps and rocks, which injures him.
"Hermes..." tears fell on Harukia's eyes.
"Let's get out of here... Lucifer's really powerful, He can even hypnotize even the Protogenoi." Hermes said while catching his breath.
Thanks to the great powerful wind, they got blown away to space. While floating around, Harukia tries to heal Hermes using her healing powers. She just realized that Hermes became weak because he used the Eternal Flame so she revived his energy as soon as possible.
Finding the hole to Hell is hard, for the void is really dark, but because of Harukia's fairydust, they found it. When they tried to enter it, Hermes was sucked by Khaos' Wind, Khaos looks like a monster because of the great energy he uses to create the wind. Harukia tries to get Hermes, but she can't.
"DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN GET OUT OF HERE?!" As Khaos shout, the wind became sharp, which wounded Harukia.
Hermes noticed that the void was about to be erased, it is being absorbed by an unknown energy. Hermes used the remaining Flame to get out, he blows it to Khaos and managed to get. Harukia just saw him floating unconscious. Before the energy suck them, they managed to get out, using the hole, which closed after they get in. When they reached hell, they saw Ai Enma and she helped Harukia and Hermes, without Lucifer's knowledge. In Ai's house, Harukia and Hermes stay, while they try to heal. Lucifer than found that Ai Enma was keeping them, so he thrown her out of hell. While Harukia and Hermes are on Lucifer's hands, Lucifer plans to feed them to the Cerberus.
Harukia still doesn't know that she can bring good luck, I hope she would discover it quick, before our lives end. Hermes thought.
Lucifer was about to feed them to the Cerberus WHEN...
End of Chapter 5, To Be Continued
Chapter 6: Light of Hope
...a large hurricane ball was thrown to Cerberus and it fainted. They all looked at the direction where it came from, it was Atlas, the supporter of heavens in the Greek myth, who's carrying a globe.
"ATLAS, THE SUPPORTER OF THE SKIES, ARE YOU ALREADY TIRED OF CARRYING IT?" Lucifer insulted him.
"I'm not here for jokes, Lucifer, free the two of them before I throw the sky to you!" Atlas said looking grumpy.
"DON'T BE TOO ANGRY THERE, ATLAS, I THOUGHT YOU'RE NOT HAVING A HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE..." Lucifer insulted more.
"That's it! No more Mr. Good Guy!" he creates a rainbow-colored ball and throws it to Lucifer. Meanwhile...
"Harukia, sprinkle some fairy dust over my chariot." Hermes whispered to Harukia.
"Okay, but where's your chariot?"
"See that chariot by the middle of the throne room? That's my chariot, if you can sprinkle some fairydust, I'll just command it to go here."
Harukia sprinkles the fairydust, the chariot glowed and it floats, as Hermes said, he commanded it to go to their place, the wheels of the chariot cut the ropes which tie them up. The Furies saw what are they doing.
"Going sssomewhere, prisoners?" Tisiphone blocked their way.
"Shut up! We're just passing by!" Harukia sprinkled fairydust over their eyes so that they can't see.
"Let's go now, spring nymph, YOU TOO, ATLAS!" Hermes shouts at Atlas.
"Can you wait for me, somehow? I'm busy right here..." Atlas replied while panting.
"Let's go help him!"
They joined the fight against Lucifer.
"ARE YOU REALLY TRYING TO KILL ME? IF YOU KEEP TRYING YOU CAN'T, I'M THE ONE WHO PUNISHES THE SOULS THAT DISOBEYED THE ALMIGHTY, I'M THE ONE WHO KILLS THEIR SOULS!"
"That why everybody hates you, they don't want you, you're a disgrace for them, you never liked them, you are not one of them, you are exiled, fighting against the heavens, you ARE NOT FOR THIS WORLD!!!" As Harukia shouts, she released a very bright light, a blinding light, Lucifer's throne room was covered with light and there's nothing to be seen except for light.
Because of Lucifer's confused body, he accidentally threw them off the Underworld, back to Greece. Harukia became unconscious after that.
"We have to bring her to Apollo, maybe he has something that can heal her. She tried to do many good deeds since she was born, starting from helping her other mates to do some missions to protecting Spring Gardens from being captured by the reapers and now, she's trying to help us Gods and Goddesses against the schemes of the Devil and Lucifer." Hermes said with determination in his heart.
"So that's why she's so lucky, Zeus and God are both giving her the strength to do such things, maybe she is the spring nymph which can save us from being forgotten by all the Greeks." Atlas replied.
They took Harukia to Apollo's haven. There is Apollo preparing some cures for some sicknesses around Earth.
"Good morn, what can I do for you?" Apollo greeted.
"This spring nymph with us, she's unconscious since she released a great blinding light." Hermes told.
They entered inside the haven and put Harukia on a patient's bed. Apollo get his lyre and plays it, he also examines her status and he felt something.
"She released an energy named 'The Light of Candidus*', the light energy is really powerful which consumes all of her energy, leading her body unconscious."
*Candidus = in Latin, it means clear and white
After a few minutes, Harukia became conscious again. "Wha-What happened?"
"You're awake now, young nymph, how are you?" Atlas greeted her.
"Fine, I guess, I just felt like life just sucked out of me."
"Don't say that, you just released a great power which made you unconscious." Apollo greeted next.
"Apollo, let me guess, you're the one who healed me, thanks!"
"That's okay, the sun is about to set, if you want, you can stay here for a while."
Then they agreed for it. They stayed there for the night, leaving Harukia with one question in her mind... What power are they talking about, anyway?"
End of Chapter 6, To Be Continued
Chapter 7: The Power Inside
While they are staying at Apollo's abode, Harukia is still curious on what power Hermes and Atlas were talking about. One day, Harukia woke up not knowing Atlas left.
"Good morning, oh great Apollo, where did Atlas went to?" she greeted.
"Atlas? Well, he already left to do his duty, to support the heavens, if he didn't supported it, the heavens might fall over us!" Apollo replied.
"Oh okay, I should take a walk outside for a while..." Harukia goes out to get some walk.
As she walks, she met Demeter again. She looks worried.
"Oh, dear Harukia, have you seen my daughter Persephone?" Demeter said worried.
"No, I haven't, is something wrong?"
"That child... she's been gone since this morning..."
"Don't worry, Earth-Mother, I'll help you!" Harukia said energetic.
"Okay, let's hurry now, she would be weak if she didn't eat breakfast..."
The both of them searched Mount Olympus for Persephone but they couldn't find her. They kept searching for her until they ended up in Zeus' abode.
"What is it that you need, Demeter?" Zeus asked as he looks at Demeter and Harukia.
"Zeus, my brother, my daughter has gone missing since this dawn!" Demeter said teary-eyed.
"I also had no idea where could that child went, but maybe she's with Hades now." Zeus suspected.
"But she can't be there, it's not yet 6 months for her to come back."
As they were talking to each other, they heard an explosion from the foot of Mount Olympus.
"What's that sound, Earth-Mother?" Harukia asked.
"You go check it out, Demeter, maybe your daughter's there..." Zeus said.
Demeter and Harukia rode on a chariot and goes to the city. Once they got there, they saw a great battalion of the undead.
"Undead! Could my daughter be leading them?!" Demeter said angrily.
"Or maybe Hades is the one responsible for this..." Harukia thought.
They went to the city and killed some undead. Then a few minutes later, they saw Hades with Persephone with her. Persephone's eyes were solid black, she was hypnotized.
"Hades! What have you done with my daughter?!"
"Don't worry, dear sister, she's safe on my hands, from now on, I would not follow our deal and Persephone will be mine forever!" Hades shouted.
"Hey! Why are trying to steal Persephone from her mother?! You are the one who is responsible for making her heart dark and hard as stone, same as yours!" Harukia shouts at Hades.
Because of her shout, she released a force field, which destroyed half of the undead army.
"You're so brave, young nymph, what if I'll really eliminate your other sisters?" he smiled wickedly.
"What do you mean by that...?" Harukia was unable to move.
Hades brings out some spring nymphs and crashes them, blood drips from his hands.
"What have you done?! NO!!!!!" Harukia screamed very loudly which crashed the undead into a thousand pieces. Her scream became so loud so that no one can hear anything, breakable objects broke, the city lost its power supply, the sky became dark, lightnings occur, waves at the oceans got higher, the wind blows violently, but the forests brought their lives back. Hades can't move because of Harukia's power. Then a seal opened by them.
 The seal (picture at the left) disabled movements of everything in it. There are more lightnings, the wind blows more violently, then rainbow lights showed up in the heaven. Harukia changed her form, she looked like a grown up lady but still with her nymph clothes.
"How dare you kill the protectors of Earth! I am WISTERIA, the hidden spirit of the spring nymphs! And by the power of the gods and goddesses of the earth, sky, and sea, I will show you what is the POWER OF NATURE!!!" Wisteria created an elemental ball.
"You think you could beat me with that?! How foolish you are, Spirit!" Hades insulted.
"Did I said this is the only shot I'm going to give to you?! I'm not yet doing it so don't... JUDGE... ME!!!!! Wisteria throws the elemental ball to Hades, it explodes and nature comes alive by the explosion. She throws more and more and more and more. She never stopped throwing it to Hades.
"Okay, stop it!!! I'm going to stop now!" Hades begged.
Wisteria stopped shooting, Hades dropped Persephone to the ground while Demeter goes there to get her. Hades just faded out to nowhere while the particles of the undead all vanished.
Wisteria returned back to Harukia then she lost consciousness.
"Not again, young nymph, I need to bring you back to Apollo..." Hermes said going to the scene.
"Thanks for taking care of the young nymph, Hermes." Demeter appreciated.
Hermes took Harukia back to Apollo's abode to rest once again.
End of Chapter 7, To Be Continued
Chapter 8: Wisteria, The Story Within
As Harukia rests in Apollo's place, she saw a vision during her sleep. It was sent by Morpheus to let Harukia know how did Wisteria came to life.
The vision started in Spring Gardens, but it was totally different to the world she grew on. There's an urbanized city next to the castle, and the Fates are still the leaders but Wisteria was infamous there, for she is still not known or discovered. The spring nymphs, together with water nymphs, mermaids, and others, all lived in peace for Spring Gardens is a world only known by spring nymphs and water nymphs. Spring Gardens was also known as a part of the Garden of Eden.
The only Wisteria known was the flower called "Wisteria" but unlike today, that flower was gigantic and it was known as a holy flower for the spring nymphs. Their goddess, Gaia, was said to live there so no one was able to touch the flower for the heavens will be angry at them. 
Time goes by, more spring nymphs were born while some die and they started to forget about their tradition of not touching the flower of wisteria. One day, when a young spring nymph was lost in the middle of Spring Gardens, she found the flower. It's great scent attracted the spring nymph to touch it. When she touched it, life just suck out of her and an earthquake occurred. That was the greatest earthquake ever experienced by the spring nymphs. Lightnings flash from the skies and it rained for the whole day. After that, the portal to Earth opened and one of the Devil's minions discovered it. The minion reported it to Lucifer, he sent reapers to the Spring Gardens for the first time and that was the start of the kidnappings, the Fates knew that it would happen. A few days later, the flower was not found anymore, but it scattered around into smaller flowers that we know today. In the former place of the Flower, is a giant seed which is about to hatch. It was known as the Heart of the Wisteria. When the seed opened, there comes a girl (see picture at right), an ancient spirit they started to call Wisteria for that's the plant where she came from.
The heavens stopped and silence covered the place. The spirit spoke. "Don't worry, my fellow nymphs, I've been sent by the heavens to help you with your problems here on Spring Gardens but unfortunately, I will just help you once but it will cost all of my power to do it. Do as I say," she paused.
The spring nymphs looked at her carefully and listened. "Make a big magic circle, the one that you used since the world started. I'll do the magic spell for you." The spring nymphs did the exact thing as she said.
Wisteria goes to the middle of the magic circle and released a great power, the sun shines over her as she casts the spell. A rainbow appeared and rays of light bounced over the reapers and they were gone. After that, the portal was closed then she disappeared suddenly. The spring nymphs were curious where'd she gone into. The last thing they heard from her is... "Now, my work is done, but the reapers will come back in the future and destroy our whole race but I will still remain inside a special nymph who would restore our race back, her name is Harukia, and I will guide her in her path to restoration." the wind gently said, which sounds like Wisteria's voice.
The spring nymphs became afraid about what she said but they still trusted her, they believed that Wisteria will be back someday as a spring nymph named Harukia.
Harukia wakes up, shocked about the vision. I'm a reincarnation, who would restore the race of spring nymphs? she thought as tears came down from her eyes.
End of Chapter 8, To Be Continued
Chapter 9: The Pleiads and Gravitas (Part 1)
As Harukia stays at Apollo's abode, Lucifer in Hell is planning to release the "Waves of Dark Forces". These waves contain different people or creatures which will help Lucifer and Satan conquer the world. First in the list is the Gravitas, an ancient kingdom found deep beneath Earth's magnetic core, they're known to gravity control and can bring stars from heaven to Earth.
"I have a bad feeling about the next days, they bring a terrible sign..." Apollo said to Atlas as they look up to the sky.
"I hope that won't happen... but still... I guess you're right." Atlas sighed.
As they look up the sky, the night sky, the Seven Sisters, also known as Pleiades, are shining above them.
"That constellation reminds me of my whole family... my daughters and my wife..." Atlas frowned.
"Don't worry... one day... all of you will reunite as a family." Apollo cheered Atlas up.
They looked upon the sky as Harukia, who is inside the abode, rests.
The next day, they all woke up, preparing for a new morning. Apollo sees Harukia sitting outside, overlooking the city of Athens, Greece, which is now very modern.
"Catching some fresh morning air?" greeted Apollo.
"Yeah... I'm just wondering... why do the people there look like they're preparing for something?"
"Well, I don't know... we haven't been so close to the people there since technology came."
They didn't know that an earthquake is taking place that time... but at magnitude 1 only. There have been reports in the TV that there will be a massive magnetic shift, which will cause a great earthquake. But Apollo already knows who is really responsible for this.
As the earthquake comes stronger, everybody in the city are getting ready for it. For the first time, Athens is became a ghost town, with the people only staying inside their houses, some are hiding in their basement, under their tables.
"It's time for you to know what will happen today," Apollo stares at Harukia.
Harukia gulps as Apollo says the happening. "There will be a great earthquake today, which will destroy almost whole of Earth, and the humans just think this is a normal earthquake caused by a magnetic shift. But it was caused by the Gravitas, don't ask who are they... and don't tell this to Atlas, but I have a feeling that the Pleiads, his daughters, will come back to Earth."
The both of them overlooked the city, which is very quiet. The view of Aegean Sea can be seen from Acropolis. "So... the Waves of Dark Forces will start attacking today."
The wind blows gently to the Parthenon as the earthquake gets stronger bit by bit.
"Time for breakfast, everybody!" Hermes called them out.
The earthquake is getting more stronger, but still a little noticeable, Athens stays as a ghost town while the god and goddesses over Acropolis and Mt. Olympus are still overlooking the cities below them. Zeus sits on the top of Mt. Olympus as He watches over the foot of the mountain and how the rocks fall as the earthquake continues. In Acropolis, Hermes, Atlas, Apollo, and Harukia overlook Athens and Aegean Sea.
The earthquake rises to magnitude 5 and the shaking is now noticeable by many, most objects now shake too. Acropolis' ancient buildings may not survive the earthquake. The rocks are now shaking and some are falling to the foot of Acropolis. The earthquake goes stronger per hour.
By noon, the earthquake is at a shocking magnitude 6.3 already. The objects and buildings are shaking terribly. Parthenon is on a threat of demolition, together with the other temples. Apollo's abode is also shaking too.
"Apollo, they're coming near!!!" Harukia shouted to Apollo.
"Who's coming near?" Atlas stared at Apollo.
"And coming near where?" Hermes stared at Harukia.
Harukia and Apollo stood beside each other, not uttering a word.
"It's the Gravitas! They're going to destroy Earth using a great earthquake! They are a part of the Waves of the Dark Forces!" Apollo shouted. "And one more thing that you must know, Atlas, your daughters, the Pleiads, will visit Earth and may save us from the Gravitas."
Atlas became numb and just stared at Apollo. "They're... coming... back?..." he said word by word.
The earthquake disturbed them all. "Now, we need to find a way on how to save Athens from the Gravitas!" Harukia suggested.
"But, young nymph, the power of the Gravitas are so strong! Only the power of Zeus can stop them, and Zeus is still at Mt. Olympus, which is a far place from here and it's not safe to fly for the gravity might pull us down." Hermes warned.
"I should go... my daughters may come here in their celestial forms, Earth may be damaged, I need to support the skies!" Atlas bid and left.
The earthquake goes stronger, at magnitude 7, the whole Acropolis is now shaking, and is also threatening the Parthenon. Athena, the goddess of Athens, came out of the Parthenon to warn the people.
"People of the city of Athens, here I stand in front of you saying that this world might come to a near-apocalypse, I command all of you to go to Acropolis and thou shall be blessed with my power!" Athena shouted out.
Most people of Athens thought it was just some policewoman who tries to imitate to move the people to a dangerous place during a great earthquake, the mountain. Some families moved quickly to Acropolis together with some of their things and pets. The grounds of Athens begin to crack, but Acropolis just feels the shaking of the ground.
The earthquake goes stronger to magnitude 9 as the Gravitas reach the surface. The families which evacuated can see the city of Athens being swallowed by big cracks in the ground, bigger than two cruise ships and three airplanes combined together, which stretches out about half of the length of the Great Wall of China. Disaster strikes all over the world as the earthquake destroys and kills. Gravitas reached the surface while Atlas is having a hard time carrying the heavens.
Oh, great Wisteria, please give me the power to bring out luck to the whole world to let us survive this doomsday..." Harukia prayed.

Chapter 10: The Pleiads and Gravitas (Part 2)
Suddenly, Harukia glows and then sprays fairy dust all over Acropolis and Athens. A streak of blinding light glows from the sky, it is The Pleiads, the seven daughters of Atlas.
They all appeared at once at the place where the Gravitas rose to, at Russia. The earthquake turns to magnitude 13, the greatest earthquake ever experienced by the WHOLE world, twice or thrice stronger than the one in Haiti. Earth was almost devoid of life, but Harukia's power continues to activate. She continues to spread "luck" all over Athens.
The fairy dust made trees grew, and it grew large roots and then pulled the ground together again. The trees even shielded the last buildings standing, even the last people living. Their strong trunks helped the survivors survive. But now, a great glow from the southwest glows (the incident of Christ the Redeemer).
"Oh, God Almighty, help this dying world survive." Harukia continues to pray.
At a gust, Atlas came back. "Let's go to Russia, I need to see someone." he said. He took Harukia with him to Russia. As they fly to their destination, they can see how Earth is being eaten by the huge cracks, Harukia sprays fairy dust upon the cracks, and suddenly, giant trees grew and pulled the surface back again. Due to the magnetic shift, volcanoes also erupt, the earthquake got down to magnitude 12.7.
"I can't believe that the Gravitas are these powerful!" Atlas exclaimed.
"Yeah, the world is almost lifeless already, now we need to save it."
"But it's not yet over for Earth, today is just the work of a force which is against Earth, Zeus nor God didn't want the Earth to end this easy, but if He really wanted to do this, let His will be done."
Harukia frowned as Atlas said those words, when they reached their destination, Harukia became surprised, she saw Daisuke and Constantine standing by a surviving structure.
"Daisuke, Constantine!!! It's me, Harukia, over here!!!" Harukia shouted, but the ground shakes too violent and noisy, making sound waves bounce to other directions, and Daisuke and Constantine didn't hear her. She then looks to another direction and sees Merope, the youngest Pleiad and the only mortal among them, she was walking away from the scenario but the King of the Gravitas appeared by her. Harukia was about to warn Atlas about it but they were disrupted by another great shaking, still at magnitude 12.
When she looks back, she saw Merope dead, and now, the others also knew about it.
The Pleiads were all angry to the Gravitas. They gathered all of their powers and also do the Gravitas, the two sides blew the remaining energy inside them, but the Pleiads are more powerful, making the blast countered and strike The Kingdom of Gravita, the Pylon of Gravitas was damaged, so their powers to control gravity was lost temporarily. The Pleiads were about to destroy them completely but Atlas stopped them. "Violence could only lead to more violence, you should not do it."
The Pleiads fall back, and Harukia saw the final scenario, she saw Lucifer squeezing the king's heart, she was terrified. "No mercy... no mercy... gracious! Did he just squeezed the king's heart?! What a disgrace!" she blabbered.
"There is nothing we could do here, Harukia, now that the Gravitas are gone, the earthquake is over. And thanks to that man and child, the world was fixed again, but not completely." Atlas said.
"But... we just lost Merope..." the Pleiads frowned.
"Don't worry, I know just the place to place a burial for her." Harukia said.
After taking Daisuke and Constantine to their house, Harukia still hides behind Atlas for them not to see her. They all went to the portal which leads to Spring Gardens, which is in the middle of Constantine's sunflower fields. When they entered, the whole city is destroyed, except for the forest.
"This is my hometown, it was captured by reapers and my other sisters and brothers were killed, I'm one of those who survived, and I still haven't seen them." Harukia reminisces about the place.
They took Merope's body by the place where the ancient flower of Wisteria used to sit, they buried Merope there. Harukia transformed into Wisteria.
"By the power of the spring nymphs who died in this very place, together with the power of Mother Nature, I proclaim this area as a place of hope that everything will be back to normal again... and everything will be okay, I, Wisteria, the great spring nymph, promise it upon this very place, and it shall be recognized until the world ends!" she casts the verse by the burial grounds.
The place glows and nature comes alive, flowers bloomed around the ground and the wisteria flowers showed their fine beauty, as the moon shines directly, the promise was cast. And they were ready to leave.
Before they leave, Wisteria, Atlas, and the Pleiads felt something, something very strange.
By the woods of the very place in Spring Gardens...
"Ulysses, the great titan who guards this place, roam the Earth and find the last spring nymphs, kill Wisteria before she gets the others, we need to step ahead of her!" Lucifer spoke.
A giant old tree glows and out came a humongous creature, named Ulysses.

Chapter 11: The Nymph Was Sold
Atlas and the Pleiads before returning to Acropolis.
"I guess we'll go on separate ways now, Atlas. Take care of your daughters. And remember, never battle against the gods again, you don't want the Titanomachy* to happen again." Harukia said with a teary eye.
*Titanomachy - the event in the Greek myth also known as "War of the Titans" where the gods and titans battled for the glory of Mount Olympus. It is also the cause of the damnation of Cronus.
"Don't be gloomy, young nymph, the Titanomachy will never happen again, it is history. Greece is now war-free." Atlas hushed Harukia.
The titans left while Hermes came to escort Harukia to the Acropolis.
"We're preparing whole of Greece for a war." Hermes said to Harukia seriously while flashing through the streets of Athens to Acropolis.
"War?! War against who?!" Harukia asked hesitantly.
"The war is against Lucifer. Hell is going to flood Earth with doom and destruction."
"Then... what?"
"They say they're after a child named Daisuke Mitsuki and they say you know that child."
"Yes, I know that child."
"Lucifer will release an attack over Greece. We need to get you out of here or Greece will be doomed." Hermes glared over Harukia.
"What does that mean? You're going to kick me out of Greece."
"But we need to go to Acropolis first."
At Acropolis, a gigantic monster awaits over the Parthenon, Lucifer is riding it.
"Lucifer, what are you doing here?!"
"Say your goodbyes over Greece, think of this.... you've been taken care here after a fight against Hades and me. You battled alongside with them and helped them with some things. But still.... you'll end being SOLD!"
"Sold..? I'm sold..." Harukia was doomed.
"And now for the deal, let me have that nymph and I won't bother Greece anymore."
Apollo gave Lucifer the nymph in exchange for the money. Lucifer rode Ulysses with Harukia inside a cage.
"So that's it... we just lost the last spring nymph... I hope Gaea and Demeter won't find this out." Apollo said.
Lucifer then shouted over Greece. "Now that I got the life source of nature, Greece will be ready to suffer!!!"
"What?! But I thought..." Apollo exclaimed.
"What a fool you are for trusting me! I'm the son of the Father of Lies!" Lucifer laughed. A vessel arrived and Lucifer rode there. "Ulysses, I'm letting you take care of this nation, destroy everything you can see."
"You're really EVIL!!!" Harukia said.
"I already know that... now, I'm going to send you to the Black Market. And there, you're going to be sold to other demons."
Meanwhile, in Olympus, Demeter and Gaea were looking to the city below. They saw the gigantic vessel where Lucifer is riding. They felt Harukia's energy there.
"So that's it... Lucifer got the last spring nymph... the world will have no more spring to come. Demeter said.
"You're right... but still... she got the Legacy of the Titans (Titan's Legacy), that legacy will stay inside her, as long as she's alive." Gaea replied.
That was the last spring in Greece, not only Greece, but the whole world.
Ulysses, the thingy that Lucifer was riding earlier, blew a powerful streak over Acropolis. A loud explosion, which can be heard in the Aegean, Mediterranean, and even by neighboring countries. Acropolis and Athens is doomed, Lucifer's hordes have took over the place.
"She'll be back... I know it... her fate will not lead her up to death... she is the one which will save Greece and even restore her hometown." Lachesis, one of the Fates, said standing behind Gaea and Demeter.
They looked over the city, which is being attacked by Lucifer's hordes, being blanketed with despair and doom.
