"You've met your cousins" said Tatia looking at me, eyebrows lifted upwards,

"What cousins?" I asked , Really i have cousins too?!!

"Kayden and Caius" she said,

KAYDEN and CAUIS .....well I think I've made some good first impressions!

"Cousins huh? You should have told me Kayden" I said smirking at him,

He glared at me and practically growled, I found it very difficult to look at him and not to laugh so I turned to glare at Tatia.

She looked at them with wonder " I thought you were leaving today"

"we'll leave tomorrow" said Caius, smiling at Tatia, Caius must be the cheerful brother, unlike Kayden who's still mad at me- not mad but humiliated by me-always sending me glares whenever our eyes meet.

"Sit down everyone" she ordered.

"What do you need?" asked Zander his ocean blue eyes taking everything in from the huge meeting table to the air vents above,

"nothing from you meanwhile" Replied Tatia looking at the door as if waiting for someone to burst in,

And they did!

A group of five entered the meeting room, four young and a man who looked like he's Eos's age he had an interesting chain around his neck; a dagger figurine dangling from it,

this man looked familiar to me, they stopped, all of them raised a hand to their heart and bowed their heads slightly they were dressed in suits like Azure's but grey in color, I noticed the girl standing next to the man with the chain, they took their seats, the girl with them sat between Kayden and the man with the dagger chain, GOD!! how alike they look! all had the same black hair, grey eyes and sharp features but they were models in their beauty. They must be Kayden's Father and sister!

"Greetings, Zuri" Eos nodded at the girl  giving her a fatherly smile "gentlemen" he said "What news do you bear?"

"Not, good new unfortunately" said the man who I assume is Kayden's father, he brushed his hand in his black hair and said,

" The king sent a new troop of children, warlocks, witches and shape-shifters, as for the land of the sea they won't seize fire as long as they are being attacked, which is quite sensible"

Who the hell sends children to fight in wars!! I thought

"Excuse my ignorance. But, why is there even a war to begin with?" I asked narrowing my eyes at the probably Kayden's father, but he wasn't the one to answer

" the land of the sea was part of Manarek, now they are the only part that the king doesn't have a hold on. Their strength comes from their tribes; they are the most powerful. the king wants the land of the sea but the people there still hold their grounds"

Said Zuri, fixing her legs to be sitting cross legged

"there's a matter of foremost importance" she said " they found the Takeshi Mountain's haven, they arrested the people in there and they will be executed by dawn"

"how many were arrested?" Asked Zander, looking as if he's solving a math problem.

Zuri looked at Eos, asking permission to reply, he nodded at her. Apparently they pull ranks down here.

She stretched her arms on the table and said " seventy, the remaining have escaped"

"Won't they be tried first?" zander asked, she scoffed and retorted "We don't have this luxury" she looked down "all will be beheaded not a single soul to be spared, No trials"

Zander looked at me and thought ' we can't leave them'

'we won't ' I replied, we can't leave them to die

"so, when do we move?" I asked Eos

"Move?!" Repeated Tatia in horror,

"Yes Move!  you won't leave them, right?" she looked away from me and didn't reply

I looked around, all of them looked uncomfortable and all avoided any eye contact with me, except Mare and Zander who looked shocked,

"You will!!" I exclaimed in utter shock, " What kind of leaders are you?! you'll let seventy souls be ripped in this horrendous way?!!!"

"Sometimes you must make sacrifices Arya" said Eos in a soft voice,

"Then make those sacrifices yourself" I yelled in anger

" by fighting to free them not forsaking them!" I completed, Eos held my gaze and didn't look down

"How do you expect us to fight for you, aid you in this revolution. when you won't fight for your people?" Zander exclaimed in a voice so cold and so calm that'd make you hate yourself

"you haven't seen what we've seen, we can't risk losing our people, the king's men are monsters, real ones, he's guard is filled with beasts and warlocks not like us and Mare, they work with Dark Magic, Boy!" shouted Eos, he rose to his feet in anger and so i followed

"His name is Zander, you'd better not forget, and all what you said is not enough a reason to forsake all these lives, will you keep hiding here forever?" I asked, I never thought that the day I converse with my father I'll be scolding him,

"No one will win you your war except yourselves, so, stop being cowards" Zander completed, I loved how we keep up with each other, maybe it's all because of the mark,

Eos's face was becoming red like tomatoes, from what I learned, I know that time passes here slower than earth and so, my parents look older than me with few years not how they should look on earth, and the same goes for Mare.

All the attendants looked tense, I saw the look of pride in Mare's eyes as she eyed her son and I remembered how Jenna used to look at me,

"We want a team of your powerful warriors, smart ones, Maps and weapons, we'll need your help of course, and if you don't give it, we will go either way" I said in a cold calm voice, they will agree cause if they don't they will risk losing us in the process

'let the fun begin' I told Zander

He looked at me and I could see a smile in his eyes, Zander was king of composed expressions I should really learn from him,

"You are not going anywhere, you're not capable enough even if you are strong you are not trained " Said Tatia with a roll of her eyes,

Oh, you no Nothing Tatia, I thought

'do the honors Zander'

'my pleasure!' Was his reply and in a blink of an eye all of them were tied to their chairs by ice chains and ice daggers were pointing to their throats, their gasps weren't left unnoticed,

a violet blue fire encircled us in its heat and flame, my fire danced around us, closing at us a second and backing away the other,

I could see the fear clear on their faces, Except Zuri who looked pleased, I like her already,

I looked at Zander that's enough

he melted his ice and I pulled back my fire, Zander and Mare trained me well I can't be anymore Grateful.

"we were  saying..." zander faked a lost expression then said "Yes, a team, Maps and weapons" he, Mare, Zuri and I had the same sly smirk plastered on our faces.
