The Seven Realms

Strategy

"wait, war?!" "yep, Lupin we've got a serious problem" "Destery! why are you not worried!?" "because this place, the place he's coming to destroy, as much as I am against his actions, it is not my home" "but it is someone else's, all these people, mum's home" "DON'T YOU DARE BRING HER UP OR I'LL-" "you'll what? tell dad I'm being mean to you? think he'll care? you have no idea" "look, I'll help protect this place, sure but it doesn't mean I care enough to save it in the end" "sure, says the dragon who five minutes ago wanted to stay here with me" "Shut your snout" "you bloody shut yours!" "both of you just-just stop!" "Keira, look I'm sorry, but you have never had to deal with an obnoxious little twat of a sister!" "Hey!" "he's not serious" "yes I bloody am" "look we have a real big problem, if Avian comes here, thousands will die" "look the strange human with wings is right, thousands-more then that could die, look we need a strategy, Avian doesn't know we know and me Destery as your savior, has a plan"

"can't wait to here this bloody mess" "shut it ash for brains" "I hate you" "I hate you too, look if we get all the fairies out, leave the warriors but get the rest to safety, none of them will die" "where will they go, thousands of fairies can't just disappear, the Fae, they have no where to go" "Keira, what else can we do, bring the fight to him?" "Al, no that's dangerous but its also dangerous to hide millions of Fae" "she's right" "she's always bloody right Zeron" "look, bloody hell, I have a plan, when my father comes, we use the old portal, to the forbidden realm, the fae can hide there until everything is over and we have a safer place for them, my father won't go to the forbidden realm" "actually lil bro, you had a good idea....for once" "wait lil? your younger?!" "bloody hell I told you not in front of my friends!" "look enough, Lupin had a good idea, we should listen, but part of me believe's Avian as much of a psychopath as he is, had a good reason for not going there" "like what?" "Destery, what if there's something out there? I have a bad feeling about that realm" "well its the only spare realm besides that he won't touch, well he won't touch the other realms, because they all have enchantments and such but if the fae were in any of the other realms, he'd find a way to break through" "ok fine, we'll send them to the forbbidden realm, first we have to tell Aeden"

The turrets on the fae castle glowed a gold colour, the walls made of many gemstone's and shells, rarity's collected from a lifetime of adventure, Keira felt strange being back here, she'd only ever been here once, yet it felt as though she'd lived her entire life here, they walked through the halls, diamonds encrusted on a chandelier above a sleeping Aeden who sat on her throne made of opal and clear quartz, she awoke with a start, "your back sooner than expected, Keira, what did Theodora the oracle say?" "she said she couldn't help us, but she then told me this "look into the ocean blue eyes of the one you doubt the most, there you will find you answer, weird right?" "hmm, I should have known she lives by the Ancients rules, they were changed thousands of years ago, why are there two dragons in my court i only allowed the one" Zeron walked towards her, "This is Destery, Lupin's sister, she came with warning, her father Avian is going to launch an attack on the Faerie court tomorrow, we thought if we got all fae out besides our best warriors, to the forbidden realm they would be save until the battle is over, then we can move them somewhere safer" "I agree, it is what is best, now Zephyr, your highness, you must go along with the rest where you are safe, I will not lose you like I lost your father" "I refuse to go, I will fight" "I don't want to see you hurt, Zephyr" "Aeden I can handle myself" "ok" "thank you, you won't regret that I promise" Al ran flew up into the tower to armor up, "you both will fight for us" "yeah bloody hell we will, we don't defend the insane" "thank you Lupin, Destery" "Keira, you are to go with the Fae, stay on guard"

"No, I am staying here and I am fighting, I know I can be of help" "out of the question, you barely fly let alone use magic, it is too much of a risk" "It is a risk I am willing to take" Aden froze "very well, but if you die out there, it is on you" she walked off, Keira stood thinking of the things that had happened in the last two days, Zeron-Al, who is actually apparently Prince Zephyr of the Faerie court, Lupin being younger than Destery and the impending war that was yet to come, "Keira, if you fighting out there you'll bloody need some armor, come with us" Keira looked at the two dragons that were now next to her "shit you guys! when did you-what the hell?!" "get on my bloody back and stop asking questions" "ok, ok" they flew her up to the armory, "what about you guys?" "we've dragons every other metal besides dragon steel burns us, we have it covered go get armored" Destery let out a smile of sort before the flew down again, "Keira, this was echo's, its your's now" Keira walked to Aeden who hand an arm leaning on the most beautiful set of armor she'd ever seen, it was white and encrusted with diamond and clear quartz and gold trimings, the sword holster was made from jade and carved from dragon steel, the sword itself was made of dragon steel, "you can kill a dragon with that so keep it bloody away from me and aim directly at my father and his army, not us, we are good dragons" "I know Lupin I'm not stupid" "I know that, you the smartest bloody one out of all of us" "uh thanks" Keira walked further down the hall looking for somewhere to change or at least, she found herself in a hall, it was full of portraits, she recognized one as Allisters father, an Elfen figure with elongated wings and a kind soft face, but stern tired eyes, the one that was haunting was Echo's it had been scratched by what looked like dragon talons, some of the paining was slashed, there were dried blood spatters that had turned a colour of almost like rust, something happened here, something terrible, Keira began to back away, her wings brushed agaisnt someones shoulders she assumed thats what they she stopped and turned, "Al!" he laughed "come on we have to get changed, we have to be ready" "y-yeah" she exhaled a sigh of relief.
