The next day, Maya was sitting at the edge of the cliff, drawing. Using her memory, she drew the image of the woman she saw in her dream. Her long flowing hair, her sparkling blue eyes and a smile that assures people that everything is going to fine. Maya couldn't get her out of her head.

Maya continued draw when suddenly someone approached her from behind. When Maya turned around, she saw that it was her mother. "You've chosen a strange spot to have a chat. Couldn't you have selected a more spectacular place." Maya's mother spoke as she got closer.

"This spot is very special to me, that is why I chose it..." Maya blushed a little.

"So this is where you met that riffraff." The older woman smiled a bit. "So what did you want to speak about?"

Without saying a word, Maya handed her mother the art book. "You want to talk about one of your pathetic draw-" she stopped upon noticing who Maya drew.

"So you do know her after all." Maya stated as she stood up.

"Where did you see her?"

"In a place Cody calls the ancestral realm." Maya answered.  "Who is she?"

Katherine stared straight into Maya's eyes. She simply let out a sigh before digging into her pocket. From her jacket she pulled out a picture and handed it to her daughter. Maya looked at it closely and her eyes widened.

"She is my beloved big sister Alice Pendragon the former queen of Britannia and she was your mother..." Katherine looked at Maya from the corner of her eyes.

"What happened to her and why did I end up with you."

"My sister died while someone tried to assassinate you. Meliodas my brother took over the throne and to prevent more people from trying he hid you away with me." Katherine told her niece. "I was planning to tell you this when you were but I have no other choice..." Katherine took a deep breath.

"Maya you are the heir to the Britannian empire." In that moment Maya's entire world changed in an instant. The things she thought she knew about herself were all lies.

Katherine then got to her knees she touched her niece on the shoulder and looked at her in the eyes. "I know I wasn't the best parent in the world, in fact I took out all my anger for sister's death on my children especially you, but know this my child you will always be my daughter. everything I do is for all of you."

"Thank you." Maya she'd a tear.

"If you want to know more I suggest you head over to your uncle. He will be leaving soon." Katherine told Maya who immediately ran off.

When Maya was gone her uncle appeared out of nowhere. "Your ability is very useful dear sister." Meliodas spoke.

"Yes soon we will be able to catch the bustards who killed our sibling." Katherine clutched her fist.

"Having an ability to see into the future is very useful." Meliodas stated. "Have you had any visions lately?"

"Yes."

"What happened?" Meliodas asked.

"I saw our castle burning to the ground. The streets of Camelot were raptured in chaos." Katherine stated. "And I saw your death brother."

Meliodas was shocked. "Who killed me?"

"The person was blurred."

"So at this rate, the Britannian empire will fall."

"Yes if nothing changes."

As this was happening, Cody found himself in a large building.  In front of him was a scientist in a white lab coat wearing a mask. Cody turned around and saw a man lying in a pool of blood. Suddenly he noticed that the entire room was on fire.

"Did you you kill him!?" He shouted. From behind the mask the you boy could see that he was  smiling.

"Unlike us he was not perfect. He was never gifted with the power of Arkeus. Instead of lamenting him join me my friend." The person stated as he extended his hand. From behind him a strange monster appeared and attacked Cody

Cody woke up, just before Abby could kick him. Her foot hit his gut and sent him flying to a nearby tree.

"What was that for." Cody questioned as he held his stomach.

"Waking you up from your nightmare." Abby stated.

"We saw your literal clothes rip apart." Zack added. "What was happening?"

"I had another one of those dreams." Cody responded to Zack's questions. "This time it was different."

"Was I there?" Abby asked.

"No. Instead of you the was another man I've never seen before." Cody stated.

"Can you recognize him."  Zack further asked.

"Not entirely. All I could make out was that this man had blond hair and has some type of silver armor." Using the information Cody gave him Zack tried to think of someone who fit the description. To the best of his knowledge, he could not think of anyone.

As the trio continued to discuss things, the bushes started to rustle. Abby quickly turned towards the source of the sound where she saw a strange figure emerging from the the woods. "Who are you?" Abby asked.

The figure smiled menacingly at her before two more appeared from behind them.  "I'm guy I think we are surrounded." Cody stated before the strangers unsheathed their swords.

"You can call us legion for we are many." On a tree a young boy sat and watched everything unfold.

"It's time to see what you are made of abnormal." The voice stated before all the figures jumped at them.

"Talking didn't work guys." Cody stated.

"I guess we do it the hard way." Abby stated as she readied their herself.
