Everyone woke up but the atmosphere had changed drastically.

"We've got to go, to fight, to win" Autumn said

"what changed your mind?" asked Hope still sounding a little hopeless

"Do you want to die? " Autumn said walking up to everyone

"What?" Hope said confused

"Do, you, want, to, die" Autumn persisted

"oh give up will you!" Daniel said

"never! you have something to fight for to" Autumn said running up the bank

"what?" Daniel said plainly

"for Hope, for your title ,for your house" Autumn said. Daniel sat there staring at the floor.

"Autumn's right love, you have to fight now too" Hope said holding Daniels cold hands

"My house is gone!" Daniel said "what's the point?"

"Do you want it back?" Autumn asked

"I guess" Daniel said

"Then fight!"

"alright Autumn, lead us" James said, before smacking Jack and his hands together

"No, this girl isn't leading us. I'm off " Lara said

"So what I save your life and it means naff all to you"  Autumn said annoyed

"Thanks and all that but I'm not fighting a war, not for you" Lara said picking up cloak and walking away

"Fine leave, not like I'm not used to it" Autumn yelled after Lara as she rod off. Lara heard her but didn't look back.

"i'm with you all the way" Hope said holding Autumn's hand

"sure " Daniel said standing up

"come on then grab your horses and brooms and ride with me, were going to Fari" Autumn said picking up her sword from her scabbard. Everyone else followed. Daniel sat on Hope broom holding on tight but not in a loving way more in a way of fear. Autumn found it rather amusing Daniel scared face he always played up to the role of being arrogant or rich but he now looked like he was about to wet himself.

The house was now in utter disrepair, wood and ash lay on the burnt foundations. Nothing was salvageable, but Daniel looked mournful onto his estate of a short period.

After what felt like years of travelling the group saw the outskirts of the city. The towers and large buildings could be seen (just) through the trees and lights surrounding the black, misty city. Autumn still remembered when the city was light and pretty and floral. Now it was dark and black the once white lights were now dark purple and the leaves were dark green instead of lush and vibrant. Autumn felt saddened by what she saw it was a little strange coming back to her childhood home but her feelings were now changed, she had no reason to love this place any longer
