Ghosts of Elyon

Ghosts of Elyon is the 16th episode of W.I.T.C.H. It first aired May 20, 2005.

Summary
Will Vandom and the rest of the girls try to tell Elyon Brown the truth about Prince Phobos and Meridian, but that becomes very hard when Phobos teaches his sister to make ghostly images of herself to confuse her former friends and the rebels.

The real Elyon is upset that she didn’t bring her sketchbook from Earth so Phobos sends Lurdens through a portal to her old bedroom to fetch it. But the creatures also trash a stash of chocolate, the scent from which Blunk is able to follow to Phobos's and Elyon's secret Meridian mountain hideout.

The Guardians and Caleb search for Elyon under the mountain but are ambushed by Lurdens. Forced into the open, they battle Lord Cedric on the mountainside before returning to Earth, no closer to warning Elyon of the terrible danger she's in.

In the B-story, Will needs some privacy. In order to save Elyon, the girls trick their parents they'll have a sleepover party, but Will is grounded for having a mess on her room.
