Chapter Two

A LOOPING NIGHTMARE

The Voltaris woke with a jump. She ran through the village trying to escape Zeveous Kaltaris, the leader of the attack. She shook er head getting rid of the flash. She quickly looked through her inventory, nothing! She sat up and looked into the other room.

In there were a large group of ardoni, they almost looked like they were a part of the enemy patrol, with their weapons strapped onto their backs. A familiar weapon caught her gaze, Voltar. "With a Greatsword and four songs she must have been quite important", somebody said from the room. She looked down at her body, her wounds almost healed entirely. "She is awake", a female Kaltaris from the room said, her eyes fixed on the Voltaris.

As they flooded into the room, her mind once again flashed. Almost all the fighters on her, her mind and body was filled with pain, only pain. They almost killed her.

"Greetings", one of them said, Voltar in his hand. "What do you want?", she asked in an unwelcoming tone. "We do not expect anything from you", he continued. "Listen Voltaris Master, I know very well that nothing ever comes for free. So, if you would please just tell me what you want me to do, so I can get it over with as soon as possible", she growled.

"Well, a name would be nice", he said. "Lucria", she introduced. "I am Senn Voltaris", Senn said. Did I ask, Lucria thought to herself.

The female Kaltaris whispered something in Senn's ear. He glared at her and then walked closer. "Lucria, huh, you look familiar", he said, a flick of unease in Lucria's eyes before turning cold again. "All Voltaris must look the same to you", she scoffed. "Hydraphel prison does not sound familiar", the Kaltaris flanked Senn, "I am pretty sure that your face was drawn on multiple wanted posters", she said.

Lucria looked away, then suddenly stood up. "Thank you so much for the help, but I think it would be best if I get going", Lucria said as she walked towards the exit. "Kylor", Senn called. The female Kaltaris blocked the door with her large axe. Lucria stopped, furious. She balled up her fists looking like she was going to punch Kylor at any moment. She cautiously walked forward, her ear pricked and her eyes burning with rage.

Before anyone could do anything, Fae stepped in front of Kylor, her sword in hand. She pointed it straight at Lucria's face, and then back at the bed. "Sit down, now!", Fae ordered.

PART II

SHIFTING CONSIENCE

Monisha looked around; the camp looked just like it used to.

Alpheus came over to her, a worried look on his face. "Monisha, are you doing alright", he asked. "Why wouldn't I be", she said. "Well", he said not sure what to say. "Don't worry Alpheus it's nothing", she said. Monisha had scraped her leg in the forest, it was nothing serious though. She knew that that wasn't why Alpheus had asked, it was about the whole killing thing.

He had explained it all to her, all about why they did it, and of course several members like Bavaria, Calamari and even his own backstories. To be honest she didn't care, they were doing it for a reason, a reason she respected. Personally, she had no trouble with the Voltaris, she didn't even care about them. Rowan would have called it terrible, well to be fair he had always been the 'soft' one out of the two, maybe that was why she was here, and he wasn't.

PART III

LUCKY OR UNLUCKY

Gwen stared into the ceiling; she was supposed to be resting, but she couldn't. They iron door creaked open and the Enderqueen walked in. "Are you doing better", she asked, Gwen nodded. "Can you tell me why you're here", she asked, Gwen nodded again. "But first I'd like to know your name", she asked many questions. "I'm Gwen", she stuttered her throat hurt.

"Pleasure to meet you Gwen, I'm Abbigail, queen of the end", Abbigail said empathetically. "Now, what are you doing here", she repeated. "I'm... I've always wanted to meet the Enderknights. Well, it's just that you're all just normal people and I thought that if I'd ever want to become something great, I should talk to you", Gwen told her.

"When this ardoni showed up and told me that she could take me to the Enderknights, and that she needed to pick up the dragon egg", Gwen looked to the ground in shame. "She seemed so legit, and I didn't even doubt her for one second". "And then when we arrived at the portal, she took the dragon egg for herself and closed the portal.", Gwen finished the story. "And who was this ardoni", Abbigail questioned. "Her name is Thora Sendaris, she told me that she knew you personally", Gwen answered.

"I always wished to be here, but now I just want to go back, and I can't even do that!"
