Emma's pov
"Well now that we Got powers on the table how abort we go to the real issue. Our kingdoms are at war for what?!" I Said with a loud voice. "Some stolen food" i almost yelled. "This shouldn't even be a problem" I said to make the others know that I was serious."But wasn't it your kingdom who started this?" Samuel asked like he had no idea.
"That's not even the point! So shut up" Wilma said. I was glad that me and Wilma could at least agree on one thing.
"Yeah let her finish!" Nicolas said. I think he was a little late to say that but I appreciate it.
"I know my kingdom started this war..." I said with a sigh. "But that was four hundred years ago!!"
"I know, I know" Samuel said with a sad voice "I was just curious."
"Can we just talk about it?" I said
"We were brought here to solve this. So let's do it" Wilma said. But why were there a sad tone in her voice. Had something happened?
"I know that my dad want peace. But our people will not agree." Nicolas said.
Seconds after he said that, his face got white as a ghost and he looked at Wilma. She had probably said something to him in his mind.
"Well in South we actually made some progress." Samuel said "We had send a peace treaty to East and asked to unite the lands."
"But was your people in on that idea?" Wilma asked slowly.
"Well no..." Samuel said.
"In East we asked our people if they wanted to unite. And they said no... so that's why we sadly declined your offer." Emma said.
Nicolas' pov
While I thought of a way to stop the war the other "kids" were yelling and pointing fingers. It was just to hard to watch. "SHUT UP" I yelled, nearly slapping them in the face. Everyone turned silent and turned their head to me.
Wilma in thoughts (What are you doing?!) "Wilma, stop with the mind thing, okay. I know it's sad and I could never get through what you did. But please just stop." Wilma looked at me, shocked. "We can't make they same mistake as our family's did hundreds of years before. What do you all think about starting a much bigger war?!" I yelled.
"Im sorry I didn't think..." Wilma said I an apologetic voice. "I won't mind talk to you again if you don't like it."
"It's fine Wilma just only when highly needed or that you can't communicate with us." She nodded "Now I have an idea. We make our people think the other kingdoms is actually sweet."
"And in what world would you think that it would work?" Samuel asked sarcastically.
"First we make people think that one of the other kingdoms saved their life. We can fx make one person from South and one person from East go on a "hiking trip" one of them gets to the border and falls down a cliff. And the person from the other kingdom saves them. They'll both come home and tell the story. So what if we make a ton of those "accidents" and then after send a peace treaty asking to join lands. And our citizens will most likely say yes." When I was done I almost passed out.
"Are you okay?" A blurry voice yelled.
"I can give him mouth to mouth" another person said.
"IM FINE!!! I DIDNT DIE. So what did you think of my plan?"
"It's brilliant." Wilma said with a proud voice "this will trick them for sure."
"Can I just ge-"
An arrow flew right through the window and landed right were I was two seconds ago. It had a paper tied on.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" We all yelled
Wilma's pov
An arrow had just burst through the window and we all yelled "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" I took a good look at the arrow while everyone was paralyzed.
I walked over to the arrow when Emma yelled "don't get to close. They might fire a second one." I slowly walked closer and jumped. I took the paper off the arrow and opened it. I read the letter out loud so everyone could hear:
Hello "royals". You thought you could have a secret meeting here without getting noticed by the direction-less.
We have been watching your kingdoms for a while and we're giving you an offer: we can help you create the peace that you want... in return you will give us your positions as royals.
If you decline this offer we will kill you and everyone you love. You have two months and that's us already helping you. If you don't do anything it will be like declining. Thank you for your time: The Direction-less.
Ps. We love power and was stolen from the throne.
"Wow that's an interesting letter" I said because there was an awkward silence.
"Maybe we can look at their fingerprints?" Emma suggested.
"We all know that they used gloves" Samuel said.
"It's just a suggestion. I don't see you coming up with something better." Emma said defending herself.
"What even are the direction-less?" Nicolas asked.
"It's all the people who've been banished through the times." I said trying to calm everyone. "They said that the throne was stolen from them? Maybe they were next in line but did something horrible so they were banished?" I suggested
"Or that they was close to being married to the throne?" Emma said
"That's all great, but what about our family and everyone we love..."
Samuel's pov
I was thinking about my dad at home and a sudden thought came across my mind "What about our horses!" Everyone rushed outside as we all thought about the same: how will we get home.
Our horses was still there in a good condition but as frightened as we were. All of us was relieved and decided to call it a day.
No one wanted to go home alone so I teleported them all to their own direction. And lastly I teleported myself.
When I came home my dad was waiting for me so I could tell him all about the day.
I started talking about getting late and my awkward entrance. My dad laughed. Then about the powers and what everyone had. When I came to the strange letter my dad looked at me and was speechless.
Then he finally said something. "Are you okay? Do you have a plan? How did everyone get home? And I answered them with: "yes, yes and I teleported them home."
"So what is your plan?" He asked
"Sorry dad, I can't tell."
"That's okay, now get to bed before the witch comes." We both laughed
"Okay" I whispered "goodnight dad!"
