Her long silver dress swept across the floor as she walked. Hair held tightly in a bun behind her. Luna was headed to the Councils convention. Walking through the vast halls that littered the palace, until she heard the voices she had hoped to hear.

"She's to powerful! We can't take her out with just the Royal Guard!" A feminine voice called. Luna was now outside the large door. Listening to them eagerly. Kneeling down just outside the oak, ear pressed against the cold wood.

"No she is not! We can use magic like the villagers did on us." Someone countered. Luna could hear whomever spoke pound on the table. Letting their own anger fill the room.

"Learn thousands of years of magic in a few weeks!? Never. The village knows much more then us about it. It'd never work." She smiled. The Council admitted they might not win. That they didn't know magic.

Their debate lasted for quite sometime. They discussed the plan that would best suit this occasion. What would be the best way to wipe the royals out. The whole time Luna listen intently. Gasping every so often at what they said.

Yet not one solution was mentioned. No magic, meant no power in this era. It meant uncertainty. No advantage. That the Council was not prepared for this era of change.

On the other hand this gave Luna and her villages the overall power. With magic they could take them down. Run the Council and Guard into the ground.

Gavin had appeared behind her. "We got them right were we need them." He whispered lightly in her ear. She nodded quickly, knowing he must have heard part of the Councils conversation.

"They don't have what we have. Don't know what we know." She stood up. Nearly tripping over her own feet as she ran to the library. Hoping to learn more.

"What's that Luny?" Collin said, swinging her around just outside the libraries door. Stopping her. Catching her before she'd fall.

"The Council, they don't know how to beat us!" She squealed in her mists of delight.

"What do you mean?" He laughed out. Luna smiled brightly. Suddenly back to her old self. No longer dwelling on war.

"They don't know magic like we do. Without it. ." she started.

"They might as well be dead." Collin and Gavin replied, now smiling along with her.

Gavin picked her up and spin her around. She giggled as he kissed her nose. Joy had over thrown them all at the moment. "So Princess, what do you suppose we do?" He asked her.

"I say we take them out. Let Gavin and I kill the Council. This is a Prince and Princess breaking the royal rules is it not?" She laughed out. The boys nodded. "Then this is our war. We control the Council and the Guard."

In which they did. With them knowing the truth, nothing stood in their way. It was a clear and open road. The road to a new era. A new kingdom.
