Herne smiled at him, then turned to the tunnel.

Ronan stood there as memories flew into his mind. He was a prince, a prince of Stagg, his father told him he would defeat Chrystler, and Daunt. Nova and Macie were part of that, they had to kill him. He had to kill them first.

An army of  silver soldiers marched out of the tunnel holding green flags with a silver stag on them.

Herne was his younger sister. His father came out after the army. "Son."

"Dad." he said a little uneasy. Well who wouldn't when you are meeting a father you feel like you've never known.

"One of them tried to follow you, here. She had her sword. The turquoise one, the powerful one. We were afraid she was going to attack. She is trapped now. We have to take the chance."

Ronan felt a surge of mixed emotions so hard, he had to look away. Macie was good to him, She had saved his life, forced him to cancel his show. Why did she want to kill him? Ronan shook it away. She wroked for Daunt. She wanted to kill me herself. She wan't to kill me. He nodded at his father. It felt like the worst thing he has ever done.

The soldiers followed him. His father was right. Macie was chained to a stop sign. Her sword a couple feet away from her.

He made shure she saw him.

"Ronan, what ever they told you, they're lying" She started to cry.

Ronan didn't let it phase him his army just advanced. He picked up her sword and gave it to his sister.

"Ronan please, they're lying. I'm not the enemy. Please"

In return his sister handed him a bow. His bow. A bow that would never miss its target.

"Ronan, you need to believe me."

He pulled back the arrow and aimed. He couldn't do this. He had to. He could. It was him or her. Everyone here chose him.

"Ronan," she pleaded.

He kept his aim. Then Macie said something surprising. 

"I'm sorry" she swallowed.

Ronan fired the arrow.
