Rythian's P.O.V
After a lot of talking and planning out the attack Xephos stood up from the log he sat on and looked at all of us. "So Now that everybody has a part to play in this i hope that everybody will get along" he looked directly at me and lalna. "Could this be a problem?" He questioned and i heard Lalna huff but nod his head. "If it's necessary" I sighed out. Xephos smiled briefly before telling us to split into teams so we can work on the battle strategy. these were the groups and what they worked on;
Xephos and Honeydew: Our route to the castle and the leaders
Martyn, Toby, Teep and Zoey: Camouflage and Forest help
Lalna: Traps and science equipment
Rythian, and Sjin: Back-up and magic
and Sips was aloud to go roam around helping everyone.
i had to admit i was quite happy i got Sjin as my partner and Zoey and Teep wern't with Lalna so i wasn't worrying about anything going wrong. Me and Sjin were told to work at the lake as Lalna would be furthest away from us in his tent. Sjin had all the maps that Xephos wasn't using and was walking behind me. "So you know what your doing then?" I asked as we sat down next to the lake. "No idea" He said sitting down next to me an lay out all of the maps, applying rocks at every corner so they stayed. "Well we can't go in there, they would realize that some of us were missing and therefore guard that spot. We could go round the back and climb it?" Sjin started pointing to a back entrance to the castle that looked pretty easy to get to. I realized Sjin was looking at me for an answer "Yeah that's a very good point and idea, if we can get behind that side of the castle we could easily climb the walls and get in" I said and he nodded looked at other maps while i took out my bag and emptied out all of my weapons. After i did i heard Sjin whistle "Wow" He simply said and i did smile beneath my mask as i watched him eye up certain swords. There was 5 of my weapons including, unfortunately enderbane and i had on me my katar. "nothing much but it'll will do" I said and put them in a neat pile to the side. Sjin then took out his sword, a sapphire one and at it next to the pile. I raised an eyebrow. "Is that all you have?" I teased and i saw him smirk slightly, "For now" He whispered in a deep, unnatural vice earning a laugh from me. As we calmed down i felt something churn in my stomach and as i looked at Sjin, he rubbed his belly too. Was it a coincidence? "Ok now lets focus" Sjin said and then we started planning out the Sneaky B-route behind the castle.
Lalna's P.O.V
I was told to work in my tent and to be honest i was fine with that. I work better alone. Inside my tent was my uncomfortable bed and my stuff. Quickly i pulled out my blue-prints for weapons and traps and set off to work. Completing my third trip wire trap and sitting in down by my bed i walked out to see if they had any stone around the place. Mining the rock a few yards away from everyone i found some aluminum and copper ore and quickly i collected it. My hands were full and i started to walk quickly, back to the tent looking around the place. What i didn't notice was a red head bumping into me and we both fell over. "Zoey?" I asked as she face planted the dirt and groaned "Lalna!" She said spitting out dirt making me smile. I got up and without thinking helped her up too. "Thank you Lal!" Zoey chirped as she skipped off again. I felt uneasy as i went over her words lal, lal there's something familiar with that nickname that nobody's ever called me before. I shrugged it of as i collected the ore's again and headed back to finish out tinkering.
Honeydew's P.O.V
Me and Xeph had been discussing the arrangements of the team before i noticed him rubbing his eyes. "Still adjusting back then?" I asked and he looked up his Blue eyes glowing into mine as he smiled "Still, man if i had known that they would've responded like this i wouldn't of hidden my truth at the beginning!" he exclaimed and i laughed patting him on the back. "well it's good to see you happy again" i said truthfully. Even though he was a happy and brave man, something has changed inside him and i do know it's for the better. "So a straight forward attack then?" He questioned breaking me out of my trance and i nodded mumbling out something that sounded like "pigu" He laughed and nudged me but i wavered in my place. I felt a bit nauseous and i watched Xephos close his eyes and rub his temples "Ah i hate headaches" i moaned before continuing the battle plan.
