The Capital
(Council Monthly meeting)

Luna
"The ice and dessert nation now showed better productions of food thanks to council Kane and lady Alison.. If it wasn't for them we will be facing shortage again in the winter." Titus reported. I turned to the Queen who is busy checking on the reports given by each nations. The kingdom prospered in each passing months due to the help of the sky people. A lot of events happened in just one year. The Queen finally decided to broke off her marriage to Costia and a lot of people was thankful for that including me. The commander is now engaged to Lady Alison, we were so happy to witness how their love bloomed into something so beautiful. Emily has now all the reason to live. And I for one was blessed with a beautiful partner, we just announced recently that we're officially dating and everyone congratulated us. Lady Raven and Octavia became lovers after cat and dog actions for months. Then came our Queen who ruled the 13 clans with grace and power. Her throne is indeed her birthright and she is meant to become a powerful leader but each passing day i could sense that she longed for something more. Everytime i caught her looking at us living happily with our found soulmates i could see sadness passing in that beautiful greens of hers. I think she longed for something more than this kingdom could give. And even if she's the most powerful person in the whole world no one can satisfy her that need. We introduced her to some powerful grounders to select a wife again but she'll just decline. She grew fond of roaming around the kingdom with her dragon searching for something. I sighed heavily come to think about it i have not seen the sky princess for so long. I really thought there is more to that stares between the Queen and her but it seems I'm wrong.

Zara
"I told you this isn't a good idea Ali.." i said with irritation looking at Alison's back who is happily walking inside the woods. "oh Common relax Zara we haven't been to this side of the kingdom I want to explore more.. This place is so vast and full of wonder.. We stayed long enough and called this place home but we never got a chance to roam around especially now that my fiancée is making a big deal out of everything.. "she said while frowning then smiled as she saw birds flying in the sky. She turned and walked backwards while looking up the beautiful blue sky. Those blues remind me of our princess eyes. How is she and how long has it been since she left. I sighed then sat on the grass while playing my fingers in the water. I created small flower like figures using the water from the waterfall while Alison continued walking in bare feet exploring the area. "you know if they find out about this they will scold us to death" i said to her. "they'll just get over it believe me." she answered. I sighed in defeat. "you know i miss Clarke so much.." she suddenly opened up. "i know we all do.. But going away is the best decision for her at that time.. She was tortured and I'm sure she needs time to recover.." i answered with a hint of sadness on my voice. "looking back i really wanted to kill Eco but the Queen was right she needs to experience hell if she died that easily  it would be a wonderful escape for her." she said. "True" i said in response. The we heard rustling on the trees. We turned to the direction of the noise. I immediately stood up "Ali don't go nearer.." but she didn't listen she moved closer to see what's behind the trees and the bushes. Then the rustling sound surround us. We wer startled then Ali moved back towards me. "i have a bad feeling about this..i can't seem to feel any energy.."ali said. Then a foul smell invaded our nostrils that is too familiar. Ali and I look at each other in shock then in unison we whispered" Reapers.. "

Kane

I gasp and knock out my glass which draw the councils attention. I look at Octavia and she sensed it also in unison we whispered" Ali... Zara.. " then i turned to the Queen who seemed confused but later on her face hardened for she was now able to sensed something is wrong. The commander and council luna immediately stood up contacting their assigned guards to their lovers." Where the hell is my fiancée!!!" the angry voice of the commander reigned the room. Then the angry voice of the council followed shouting at her warriors in her intercom. I closed my eyes and tried to locate their aura. I saw also Octavia concentrating in locating them. If there are plants around in their location i would be able to find them easily. I was able to sense them in the west part of the forest by the end of the border but my heart skip a beat when i sense other than their auras. They smelled like death. I gasp and stood up at the same time. I saw Octavia looking at me with shock face and she whispered "no it can't be.."  "let's hurry before its too late" i said. Then i was about to walked away when i heard the Queen's pissed off tone "what is going on elder Kane? Octavia?" then i saw the confused faces of the council. Then the angry faces of the commander and council luna. I sighed "i dont have time to explain.. Lady Alison and Lady Zara is now in danger we must hurry to go to them.. I sensed their energy at the west part of the forest near the border.. But.. There is another energy aside from theirs that i could sense.. Its death.." when i said that the Queen immediately moved" sound the alarm! We are on lock down! Close all gates! No one can leave their cities until i say so got it! " the council hurriedly responded to the Queen's command." I'll go with you.. "the queen said looking at the disrupted commander and council luna. Worry is evident in their faces and I hope we're not too late.
