Northern Conflicts

You too

Nothing too exciting happened at the base the team even spent the night there. Everything was normal until when they were heading to the other Ferox sisters.

"Now that all of that is taken care of is anyone going to address the fact that they knew where we would be." Everyone was thinking it but Bronon had to say it so of course they had to address it now. "He is right they were miles away from their base, what are the odds that they coincidentally stumbled upon us with illegal weapons?" Nab Press was not wrong, but something is most definitely wrong. "The only persons who knew where we would be are the children of the East and the West." No one wanted to go there but Ćib Riat was right; there is a possibility that somebody in their lot was a traitor.

"Our whole plan could be compromised are we willing to take that chance." knew what was right but Amethyst did not take them on her team to have them killed because of betrayal.

"We could proceed with the plan to help my sisters or exit the battle seeing that we have completed our task."

They looked at her like she was crazy and by they, I mean Nab Press

"Are you insane, of course we are going to help the future queens of our land." She spoke for everyone because they all smiled. That and no one objected, so onward they went.

When they got to the centre of the flares they came upon a camp that Amethyst's sisters and their teams set out.

"Have no worry sisters the Calvary is here." Amethyst greeted them with while smiling at her inside joke, but everyone looked tired "Traitor!!! " Bèatre yelled at her with a sword drawn. Amethyst's team stepped up ready to draw their weapons, but they were stopped "Bèatre you look tired and that's probably why you aren't thinking straight, did any of you get some rest?" They looked horrible but Amethysts team looked refreshed.

"Why is it that when we were attacked you couldn't make it!! Explain that!!" If Bèatre kept yelling at her sister there would be a huge problem "Firstly you best get that sword out of my face and secondly yelling at me will only force my hand." When she followed those simple instructions, Amethyst began to explain to everyone

"We were attacked by Phantasma miles away from their base while we were on our way here. When we won we went to claim their base because everyone should have been fine."

Then Wéverly explained what had happened here and people couldn't help but feel sorry for her, she sounded like a mad woman. "After we sent the flares up we all headed straight for the centre just as planned but when we got here Kittron was waiting on us." She continued the story and it sounded like stories Sebastian would tell his children before bed. Magic mixed with war he said, the perfect story so a child of Micralanza could go to bed. Amethyst couldn't help but smile at that memory but Bèatre assumed she was laughing at their sorrow "You dare mock us Áxios, we could have been killed." Amethyst did not understand how Beatré and herself got back to square one, why was she mad at me that they were ambushed was now her most prominent thought. She didn't get it because her team was also ambushed.

"Not everything is about you and your sorrows I was thinking about my childhood days with my father." Amethyst still had a little adjusting to do when referring to family but Wéverly tried to make her more comfortable about it "It's okay to call him your father, he raised you." But it was not okay because she would have abandoned one family for the next. So, Amethyst got up and walked away; her teammates followed her.

"Did you notice anything strange about them." A supposedly sad Amethyst whispered to her team "Apart from their story??" Nab Press thought that it was a little bizarre

"Or is it the fact that Wéverly and her team survived." Ćib Riat then looked to her brother for his input "My major concern is that it was only Beatré pick and your pick that attacked Amethyst" While they were whispering Bèatre came over to them and they almost didn't realize it but thankfully they did. She came to apologize, and she didn't really sneak up on them, they were just not paying attention so no one could be mad at her. "Áxios I would.... why are you whispering and to think I was about to apologize for accusing you of treachery." Bronon told her to shut up and join the conversation. It was very clear that she was angry at the whole situation which means she was either the best actress ever made, or she was actually ambushed. (Option A is highly unlikely) "I am not an accomplice in your treachery." At this point we were all annoyed but Bronon was extremely annoyed "Didn't I tell you to shut up and listen we did not do anything, and we are on a witch hunt."

"Congratulations Bèatre Ferox of the West you are on the other side of the hunt. Welcome." Ćib Riat did not sound welcoming but Amethyst kind of liked the welcome so much so that she thinks she might use it one day.

"Why are you trusting me with this?" If I were Bèatre I would be curious too "You passed the first round of the test, but your next moves determine the score of the second." No one there actually trusted her but so far she was innocent, and they needed to weed the garden. So, they forged a plan, meanwhile Bèatre and Bronon go to claim the base of Kittron the rest would cover for them while looking for the traitor. Surprise, surprise something happened while Amethyst was a man down. They found the traitors (the traitors revealed themselves to Amethyst, but it still counts and yes traitor is in plural) but let me tell you how it started because this was just crazy.
