~The Hidden Enemy~

Chapter 2:~Justice & Truth~

Daren was thrown into cell in the dungeons of Lustillia castle. He slowly stood and he heard the cell door being locked behind him. He sighed deeply and sat down quietly in the cell bed. Why couldn't he had let them kill him?! Why did he agree to kill Elora in the first place!? Why did he think he could trust them!? If he could only get a chance to speak with Elora, he would explain that he had been forced to do it by her father's sister. He slowly walked over to the cell door and looked at the guards who stood at the wall, talking. "Please! Tell the Queen that I wish to speak with her!," he begged, "The Queen is in danger!," Eldridge turned to the Western. "You just tried to kill our Queen! How can you expect us to believe you?!," he asked. Daren swallowed and looked down. "Eldridge, please! I never wanted to kill her in the first place! I was forced!," he tried to explain but Eldridge ignored him. "I'll shall share the message that you wish to have an audience with the Queen," he explained and Daren looked aside as Eldridge left and disappeared out of sight.
Daren sighed and sat down in the cell bed and sighed deeply. "Why did you have to leave me, Shalana?," he thought aloud, "I still needed you and you left me without saying goodbye properly," And he slowly broke out in tears.

Elora sat on her chair in the meeting hall with the rulers of Shivanna along with Callon, her husband and the three Stars that still dwelled in Shivanna. "My Lady, I do not think it's wise to draw any sentences yet," Tarmac declared. Callon looked up at Elora. "There's something not right here," Elora began, "Why would he do this after achieving peace between our families so recently?," she asked. "Because he is a Western," North said, "They value power above all else and their family is known for their hatred for elves, especially The Light Elves," Elora shook her head and looked down. "There's something else," she declared quietly. Eldridge then entered the hall and walked over to Elora who looked up at him. "What is it?," she asked confused. Eldridge sighed and looked at her. "Daren demands to have an audience with the Queen," he explained. Eroan turned to his wife confused and Elora nodded. "Then I will speak to him," she declared.

Daren was brought into the interrogation room and he obeying sat down at the table. The room was empty except the table and the chair he was sitting on and a chair on the opposite of him. There was also glass windows in the room so the sun was shining through into the room. His hands were shackled in chains to make sure he could not do anything against the Queen. He looked up at Elora as she entered the room. She was wearing a glimmering light blue silk dress with silver details and trailer. As jewellery, she wore a silver glittering necklace and leaf earrings and a small tiara with tiny elvish diamonds. She sat down on the chair on the opposite of him at the table. "You wanted to speak with me, Daren," she declared, "What do you have to say? Maybe you could help me decide your sentence for trying to kill me?," Daren sighed and looked up at her. "Elora, you have to listen to me," he began, "I did not want to kill you. I was forced. Some night ago, I was kidnapped by your aunt. She wants you dead Elora. She said if I failed, she would come after you herself. She threatened me. I had no choice but obey her. Please, you have to believe me. I know you feel like something isn't right. And you're right," he explained. Elora looked at him and sighed. "Daren, I believe you. I will talk to the other rulers and I will get you out of here," And Daren smiled at her. "Thank you. You have become a great and just ruler, Elora," he stated and the guards grabbed him to take him back to his cell.

"Your aunt?," Charline asked confused, "Why would she try to kill you?," Elora sighed and stood up from her chair. "I do not know. That's what I need to find out," she explained. North walked over to his Queen and looked at her. "What do you want me to do?," he asked. Elora looked up at him. "Find her and bring her to me," she ordered. North bowed his head and left the hall. "Elora?," Emersion asked gently. Elora stormed out of the meeting hall into the great throne room.

When she entered, she slowly walked over to her throne and sat down. She glanced aside towards the great portrait of her father. She swallowed and tears started streaming down her cheeks. She slowly stood up and took a few steps closer to the portrait and stared to sing,

[Verse 1: Elora]
I was only three
The day you first went to war
I remember that day in June
Father, father
Do you see me now?
Does it make you proud?
Mother, mother, can you see me?
Have I made you proud?
I didn't let you define me
But I've kept you
Alive inside of me

[Pre-Chorus: Elora & Light Elves Spirits Choir]
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Vynithel, Vynithel)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Vynithel, Vynithel)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Vynithel, Vynithel)

[Verse 2: Elora]
I've cried my tears but I've stood up
Your names have become a memory
Except deep within my heart
I am my parents daughter

[Chorus 1: Elora & The Light Elves Spirits]
You are the reason I stand here strong
A Light elf Queen
(A Light elf Queen)
They had their doubts but we have proved them wrong
Solania chose you and me
(Solania chose you and me)
Father, mother, I know you see me now
And you will always live inside of me
Now they call me Vynithel
(Now they call me Vynithel)
It echoes through the Kingdom
(Vynithel)
It fills the halls of The Light Elves
Look what came of your daughter
(Vynithel)

[Bridge: Elora & The Light Elves Spirits Choir]
I am parents daughter
(She rises like the sun)
I am my parents daughter
(It's almost to wonderful to be true)
I am my parents daughter
(Who will rise to defeat the darkness)
I am my parents daughter
(She rises like the sun)

[Chorus: Elora & The Light Elves Spirits]
Now they call me Vynithel
(Now they call her Vynithel)
Now they call me Vynithel
I am here to bring light to the world
(To bring light to the world)
I am my father's daughter
I am my mother's daughter
(She is here)
I am here to bring light
(Spoken)
So father, can you say
What I shall do?
(Sung)
Here I stand
With my head held high
Before you and Solania
So I say,

[Bridge 2: Elora & The Light Elves Spirits]
I am parents daughter
(She rises like the moon)
I am my parents daughter
(It's almost to wonderful to be true)
I am my parents daughter
(Who will rise to defeat the darkness)
I am my parents daughter
(She rises like the moon
A daughter of The moon and sun)
I am my parents daughter
(It's almost to wonderful to be true)
I am my mother's daughter
(A Starlight)
I am my father's daughter

[Outro: Elora & The Light Elves Spirits]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I am my parents daughter
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Everything is for them

Elora glanced aside and saw her parents spirits looking at her, smiling. Elora smiled weakly. "We are so proud of you, daughter," Edrahil told Elora through her thoughts. Elora smiled and they disappeared.

Elora smiled weakly for herself and softly sang to herself,

I am my parents daughter
Everything is for them
