"It is a trying day." North began to say. "And, we've only just started with our mission."

North looked at Oisin, Oisin looked at Addy, Addy looked at Henry and Henry just stared at the fire in their midst.

"It is, what it is." The young king said. "The road that we choose to travel beginning today, indeed, is not an easy path."

Henry paused. He, then, looked at everyone's faces before he spoke again. "But, remember this, this is the start of our adventures. So, let's have fun kicking butts while we are at it, okay?!" Henry flashed his infectious smile.

"Hmmm!" Oisin replied in agreement while North nodded his head and Addy held Henry's left hand.

"I couldn't agree more."

Luca appeared from behind them. He was dressed in the his golden armor and was carrying his head gear with his right hand.

Henry stood up and embraced his cousin. "I am glad your safe, cousin."

Luca looked at his younger cousin and king as he messed with Henry's hair.

"Luca, not my hair, I am still your king!" Henry said annoyingly.

Everyone in the cave laughed at Henry. Henry laughed too. After that, Luca shook hands with Addy, then Oisin and lastly with North.

"Is Helios, okay?" Luca said worriedly.

"He's okay. He's just recuperating and will be up and about in an hour or two."

Luca, then, placed his right hand on his chest and the golden armor he was wearing disappear. He was wearing a purplish robe much lighter in hue compared to Henry's robe.

"Good." He said as he sat next to Henry.

"This journey is indeed not easy. It will require so much sacrifice from each one of us. We have to leave our loved to travel this path." Luca said as he looked at his cousin. "We have to abandon our friends," He said as he looked at Oisin. "We have to deceived our allies," Luca said as he looked at North and Helios, "in order for us to save our people - to save our beloved Adamah."
