A note from Sellece,
Secrets can destroy a person. They are truly  one of   the worst forms of torment, if you allow yourself to  dwell on it.  They can cause people to lie and steal, cheat and manipulate others. But what if you lie to protect those you hold dear? What if the secrets you keep can tear an all ready fragile family apart?
"Where is she?" Morgan Lee had asked this question for the 15th  time today, and for the 15th  time he had gotten  no answer. He held a cup of soda in one hand while he contemplated Alexander. The older boy stirred  and opened one violet eye, looking up at his former friend. "Where is who, Lee? Or should I call you captain Lee now?" 
Cora and Theodore stood next to him, offering comfort and support, and also because they were hoping Morgan would eventually let them relieve some of their anger. "Don't play dumb with me Alexander. Sheera, where is Sheera?"
Alexander laughed, coughing up blood. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Sam walked into the room with a notebook in hand, watching silently. In the viewing room, each with a headset on, Cassie, Shego, Salem and the others watched. Morgan stepped towards his former commanding officer threateningly. They had served together in Arraisia's armies, under Cassie's father  none the less. Alexander had betrayed their squad, leaving Morgan and his sister some of the only ones alive. That's why their parents had become villains in the first place, because watching their children in highly critical  condition in the hospital had caused them to snap. They wanted Alexander's head and knowing the protection squad had him  restrained and in their head quarters prompted them to send a few devices of torture to the Hayaus family with a note stating they wanted a truce. Lord Hayaus had accepted, if only to keep Sam and Morgan's parents off the streets. "Is that who you think your looking for, old friend? You're looking in the wrong place. Even Sheera had a teacher once. Why don't you ask Shego who Sellece is. That name should sound quite ffamiliar."
Morgan was tired of this game. Though he enjoyed bantering back and forth with Alex now just wasn't the time. He motion to Cora and Theodore, who raised their hands, squirming balls of shadow at their fingertips. Morgan left the room, shutting  the door quietly behind him. He had heard of Sellece of course. Every Kylon child had. Sellece was the oldest daughter of the people of the North. Her parents were the bringers of winter and the guardians of ice and snow. Sellece imprisoned them, took their kingdom, and inslaved her baby sister to insure she would never escape and raise another heir. She was cruel and unpredictable, taking her anger out on her sister. She put her in chains forged in the mountains of the dark forest, chains that would drain the young girl's abilities while causing her suffering. She would taunt her parents, torturing their youngest child in front of them, knowing they could do nothing to protect Thalia. She could freeze a person's blood, and create blades of ice... and so much more. Thalia escaped, but no one knows where she vanished too. All they knew was she locked Sellece away, after a battle that lasted 18 days. Morgan pulled himself out of his thoughts  and hurried to finish the rest of his duties, unaware that a beautiful, broken girl with eyes of glacierblue, was about to strike fear into the hearts of Valkyrie squad. For this girl knew Sellece, and the pain the former ice guardian had put her through was a constant reminder of why she had to keep running. But first, she would warn them. She had too. Sellece was out. And if earth and Arraisia stood a chance, the 21 year old knew she had to tell someone.
