Shiro and Katie was given a tour over the cave. Meeting many members of the rebellion stationed there and many Balmerans living in the cave as well. Learning over the rebellion mostly gone into hiding and resecuring the few prisoners when able. The new king had grown more powerful once cutting contact with other kingdoms and his sorcerer magic had grown too strong for most to face alone. 

It left the rebellion winning small battles that damaged the king's growth Winning the current war slowly and by using the many small victories to slowly gain the won of the war. 

Katie pulling Lance to the back while Shiro was asking many questions to a few rebels within one of the briefing rooms after Shiro had passed on his warnings over the king's current desperate stage. 

Katie told over Lance that she had mentioned only by a shifter to Shiro after their departing. She didn't know much over shifters and mentioned how she was helped by one. Explaining why she made it seem that she had only met Lance at the cave as she didn't want to expose his secret if he didn't want it to be known. Lance had thanked her before passing on more information to her. 

He mentioned that the rebellion had grown smaller in size but was still willing to fight until the end. How after their beloved Prince's death by the unwanted current's king hands and how they all still believed the crown had belonged to their trusted friend. How Prince Takashi was a soldier, a friend to his people and a kind guardian for his kingdom since his child days. That all had awaited the day for the prince to be crowned king once his father, King Sven had passed. King Sven had his son at a very old age, his wife died in childbirth to Prince Takashi and how Prince Takashi's twin brother had also met an early death during their toddler years. Letting the kingdom know that King Sven would die when Prince Takashi was a young man. 

And the day had came. All had looked forward to the day where Prince Takashi would accept the crown. But King Sendak had stolen the crown, stole the throne and had killed the prince who had tried to stop him. Prince Takashi's death had broken all kingdoms hearts once they learnt the news and the Garrison kingdom had lost their will to fight at first before Keith Kogane, the prince's oldest and trusted friend had reminded them over the kingdom their beloved prince had worked hard towards gaining and how they couldn't allow his dream to die with him and allow the kingdom to lose it's goodness to Sendak. The rebellion fighting to protect the kingdom, the people and the better future that was being given by Prince Takashi before his death.  

"Where is Keith now?" Katie asked, unknowingly catching her brother's nutcracker's attention by speaking the name.
