Third person P.O.V

Wil cradled Fira while sending a worried look to her brother, yet Allanon remained calm

"Umm, what are we supposed to do with her "Wil asked trying to compose himself

"She'll be fine, she just hasn't used her magic in a while we've exhausted her." Allanon explains, Wil lifted Fira's limp body and carried her to her chambers, but not without seeing the look of jealousy that engulfed Amberle's face.

Inside Fira's mind

"Dagda Mo, show yourself."

"Ah, young druid I see you have found out about my changeling." The demon said as he approached Fira

"Please your fight is with me, leave these people they are innocent." She begged

"That may be true young druid, but it is fun toying with the mortals of your world." He said as he grabbed her arm, she gasped "just give in to the darkness, join us don't let all this power go to waste."

Fira cried as his nails dug in to her fair skin, it was as if he was taking her magic. He let go and she fell to the ground

"How could one be so powerful yet so weak at the same time , your friends will die either way young druid save yourself the pain and join the darkness ." he said before leaving

Fira jolted out of her bed gasping for air, Bandon immediately came by her side

"Whoa, slow down there you've been out for a while." He stated as he handed her a glass of water, she took a sip quenching her thirst

"The changeling and Amberle she's not safe."

"The princess is fine." Bandon said as he felt the aura of tranquillity restored in the air, a knock echoes through the room and Allanon came marching into the room with a look of urgency on his face

"The changeling has been killed but you and our little friends have to leave sooner than expected." he said rushing to her side, his arm secured her waist a he steadied her on the ground

"I figured, as the Ellcrys gets weaker, Dagda Mo gets stronger." she said as they walked out of the room and down the halls, they quickly reached the outside of the castle where everyone was all set

"Let's do this."

"How much further till we reach our destination" Princess Amberle asked as she strutted on her horse

"A day's ride or more, we'd make it better if we weren't carry such dead weight." at that precise moment Eretria fell to the ground , Will unmounted his horse and went to help her , he tried to offer her some food

"I'm sorry but being pulled around in chains killed my appetite." Eretria sassed

"Well maybe if you dropped the whole lying, stealing, cheating act people would be more hospitable" he shot back
