Chapter 278: Mirror of Candor

Celestia's POV:

I found myself lying in my bed when I opened my eyes. I tried to move my hand, but something was restraining me. I turned to my right side and let out a scream. My right hand alone was cuffed to the bed frame with the help of glossy grey metal. This is the dead rock chain! 

Slowly, my mind recalled everything that happened before I fell unconscious. I had gotten my sparks back! I was about to melt the metal rod and free Darius—but that evil Amelia enchanted me!

I tried to bring out my sparks again, but they were just dead. Great! Now I am stranded back to square one. Perhaps it is a waste even to try anymore. Whatever efforts I make always turn to be useless. Instead, it is better to accept the fact that I am powerless and weak to defeat these tricky Sirens. 

I rested my head back on the silk pillow while my heart crumbled with the feeling of defeat. So is this how am I supposed to live the rest of my life?
