The Guards had taken them all into custody. Taking Luna and Gavin into their rooms. Locking them in there. They had also taken Collin. Locking him in the dungeon for the mere fact that he had kept them hidden.

Yet later that day, they took them out of the rooms. Taking them to the throne room where they'd talk about all that had happened. Why it had happened.

Luna and Gavin were now in their finer cloths. Luna with a red dress the shade of a wounds fresh blood. To show the fact she had defied them. Gavin's skin was invested with the fine shade of obsidian. To show the fact he left in a time of need.

As they walked in, most held their breath. These kids were a threat to them all. One could use three types of magic, take down a guard. The other knew everyone's weak point. Everyone's fear. They could take them down in a single blow.

"You had left us." Once voice boomed. The man whom was head of the Council. His gray hair was held loosely around his shoulders, his eyes seemed to be red, yet filled with pity, hope, maybe even fear.

"I left you. Gavin followed." Luna stated, straightening her back to seem more powerful. For she was. She was more powerful then all the Council.

"Princess that does not mean you run. . ." She had stopped him before he had even finished.

"You will not call me 'Princess' you will call me Luna. I am no longer your Princess. I am so much more." Her eyes meet his harshness. Her voice loud and strong.

"Well then Luna. Why did you run from us?" He did not like the sound of her name run past his lips. It made her seem more powerful then she was.

"This place here, is hell. I do not wish to be locked here. Or to marry a man I met a few weeks ago. I know this place is not my home. The village is."

"Why is the village your home?"

She laughed. "Have you never had a family? A love? Those two things are where home is. And neither of those things are here. They are in Hintion." A tear escaped her.

"So you ran to go to them!? The people you rule over, the people you control?"

"I do not control them! You do! I ran to get away from you! To be with them." Thoughs ran through her mind like a raging fire. Burning and lighting over and over.

"I control them!?"

"Yes and you poisoned their brains. This kingdom is not whole. It never will be. That was your own being. Your own work."

She was standing up for the people. For herself. The third destiny had been chosen. She was Princess standing up for the village, her home.

"You will not say that young lady!" He knew she figured it out, a girl figured it all out in four years.

"I'm not a young lady. I'm a ruler now. That throne is mine and the other Gavin's. I will make you burn sir. This kingdom is no longer run by the ignorant Council men who fear a sixteen year old. It is now run by a sixteen year old, and her army. You have no power left. You picked the most incompatible people. Do you see what you get?" Her teeth were clench as she spoke. Nothing like this had ever spilled from her lips. She was fearful what he would say.

"Yes I see what I get. I get war!"

War. The start to their new beginning.
