"I know that Kairos is still young to lead an army, But he should be there..." King Nischith Said with his voice full of authority. He is in front of their Royal Soldier, the Queen, Lady Violet, and the leader of each kind of faes.

Hearing what the king said, The Royal Soldier immediately stood up to insist "But isn't he your son? You are supposed to protect the heir of the throne! And besides, Kairos is not a fae! What if he tried to ambush our kind when the war started! We are Fighting against his own kind!"

"DO YOU THINK I AM NOT AWARE ABOUT THAT?!" Nischith stormed out that left them frozen on their own place. It was a short outburst and the king tried to compose himself again

"Kairos... He is supposed to be in this war... Without him we can't win-"

"Don't you look up on your son way too much just because you trained him...? For what I remembered, a Fae needs to train for a hundred of years to become a soldier and 500 for a higher rank. Then what dirty play is this?!" It was now one of the leaders of the roses who spoke, after hearing the old man, everyone turned suspiciously at Nischith... Why don't they appreciate his Loyal Service for a million of century and suddenly doubt him in this recent war?

Nischith sighs... He looked at Lady Violet and the queen, the only two who supports him on his command even without fully knowing what do Kairos own

"This will be in MY command. We will Have Kairos in the war. Leading only 50 Soldier in his army and 200 on each of the Leaders. The Lillys still need to rest after the mourning of their most precious fae, so I would like them to be protected by Lady Violet's Army. The aquatic flower Faeries will be protecting the back of the kingdom, Near the riverside where your powers will be very useful. The Air Flowers will be at the scattered around the Kingdom, Prepare for the air attacks.. Crows are smart and tricky. Land Faeries will be at the Borders in front, at the east and west. Use all the powers you can use and Don't ever hesitate! We will protect our own Faeries. And Kairos himself... I will also Join at the war alongside the Air faes, the queen will be with the Water Faes.."

Everyone took note of all the King's orders, They knew that this is not a war for Kingdom and Land.. but a war for power and pride.

Nischith ended the meeting for all the leaders to prepare for the war, when the Queen approched him as he make his way to the Garden.

"You seemed sick.. and Stressed... Nischith, I don't think you are supposed to join the war. You might die from the overwhelming sadness and not by swords..." The Queen mumbled as she gently pats Nischith's back. But the King tried to flash a little smile

"I'm not to die that lowly... But after all of this, I might really want to rest..."

Kairos Reached the Hidden Cave that lies at the very bottom of a cliff, surronded by only a waterfall coming from the a river somwhere, Hiding the hole cimpletely on a thick fog for an unknown reason. The way towards the cave is stiff, it is slippery and there's no other way to travel there but to slowly and surely walk by the narrow rock stairs, hoping to the gods that you won't just suddenly slip and die at the very bottom.

Luckily, Kairos still has his wings that made him easily fly to the entrance of the cave.

At first, the cave looks small and dark, Kairos felt the urge to hold onto the rock beside him that almost enclosed his body, until he found a little glint of light from the Right tunnel, it's rocks has a glittering gold nuggets and rubies. He ran towards it and he met an underground city..

It is a land inside a land. There are Elegant houses built in a deformed rocks, and Normal houses below it. And the castle are in between them all, standing in full pride with stone structures of pure Gold and Ruby.

An elegant Sight to Kairos. But he definitely sense the danger around him, as if everyone is watching his steps.

"Excuse me, who are you to barge in our coven without a permission?" Suddenly, a voice called that made Kairos turn his head back. He has met the button eye of a little girl. Looking all so mysterious as she holds onto a... Stuffed toy?

A ragged dirty teddy bear, with it's Mouth stitched.

Kairos tried to flash a smile at the girl before kneeling down to reach her height "May I speak to your Highness??"

"Your Highness... You mean Kratos?" She stared down to Kairos's eyes. As if reading him before she smirks

"Be a cat and jump on my arms, I'll sneak you in his room" the mage added

Kairos hesitated to do so, As he asked in his head 'Who is this Girl anyways? How can she be so sure to get me into my father?'

And as if the Girl could read him, she grinned widely before leaning near Kairos's cat ears

"I am the lady of all kinds of Manipulation... Elixir" She whispered before winking at kairos, pointing her finger onto her lips as if telling him to keep it a secret.

That Left kairos no choice but to immediately oblige, He needs to talk to his father and get him on their side. He transformed into a cat and hopped on the Elixir's arms.

Elixir hopped towards the castle, the guards took a look onto her suspiciously but after a clear glance they left them in, After a few feet away, Kairos heard a guard mumbling "She's Crazy anyway.. that innocent being won't do anything in the castle, let her stroll"

It was suspicious as the girl just hopped inside the castle giggling and strolling, The Noble Mages just glanced at her and ignored her presence, but the old man with golden scarf, Royal adviser glanced at her suspiciously, as he kneeled in front of her "Are you supposed to not be here... Little being?" His Voice mixed with fake gentleness and full venom.

But Elixir just innocently smiled before replying with her little voice "I... I want to.. uhm~ talk to the highness~ b-because, my little caaatt heree looks soo sicck...." Her fake innocence was surreal even thw old adviser seemed to take it.

But the adviser glanced at kairos Suspiciously. Elixir pets his head and suddenly he can't move anymore, his body became very stiff. Elixir lifted him up like he weighed nothing before offering her to The Old adviser "Isn't heee cutee??"

"Oh... I thought it was a real cat for a second.. and yes.. it's cute... And dirty.." the royal adviser replied, not accepting the 'Ragged stuffed cat' after taking a good look at it.

And for some reason, the adviser looks more gladly to take Elixir to a big Room at the very far corner, Seemed to be Kratos's room. Kairos still feel so stiff as if he's trapped inside an unknown body.

Elixir knocked before leaving the royal adviser behind and opening the huge door by herself. She marched through the corner of a wide bed, beside a big mirror.

And that was the moment Kairos Knew. He's trapped in a cat stuffie!

"Don't feel so shocked. It was only an illusion, Kairos." The little girl spoke, petting him again and immediately, he's back at his normal form again.

He hopped down her arms and swiftly ran on the sheets of Kratos's bed.

But the mage is covered, he placed his paw on his chest.

There's no beating...

He looked at Elixir for an explanation, and elixir's face darkened from sadness...

"If I'm not powerful, we'll arrive in this room and see Kratos looking all so alive, it is from the magic of the Adviser... But I could stop any other magic that is less powerful than mine... Kairos had died ever since their meeting when almost all of the higher ranked disagreed on him not joining the War of Pride, the Fae and shapeshifter's war..."

Kairos immediately transformed into his human form, His Ocean blue eyes started to fire up and the monster inside him taking his body again "WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?! I NEED TO GET MY FATHER BACK!"
