*narrative voice*

Our people were forced to flee from their homes leaving everything dear to them behind. They took refuge in the underground safe houses located near the borders of Freetos and Up mines. The location of the safe houses was not known to the general public, only members of the ruling committee and soldiers knew of their location.

Amelia Martins Loki, daughter of general Loki along with Bran and Bron Blackwood sons of high council member Blackwood, led the survivors to the safe houses as they knew of the location. They helped establish a small community in the safe houses during the period they were occupying them.

They established groups that would provide them with food from the enslaved Molinians above. They helped free some of the slaves being held captive at various places in Freetos. They set the foundation that carried the whole underground committee.
Different people were assigned different roles that would support the community. Amelia and Bran, the older twin, trained the able people there to fight and be able to defend themselves whereas Bron, the younger twin thought the survivors basic natural surviving skills. The healers there were not of many numbers and some of them were merely apprentices but they did well in their jobs. Then there were the rescuers and the retrievers, they were the group assigned to go above to the enslaved town of Freetos, to free as many people as they could from the Nimarian clutches, they were also the group that provided the community with the food clothing and medicinal herbs. There were ten groups and ten members in each, making them a total of one hundred.

The community was flourishing under Amelia's rule and for months they were not found or discovered by the Nimarian soldiers. They had spies in the royal castle that were informing them of the daily happenings, but their spies did not only stop at the royal castle, they had spies in numerous places such as the slave camps, the food places and the military base. The only thing stopping them from reclaiming the throne and their kingdom at that time was their lack of soldiers.

Fortunately for the survivors, Amelia was a strong spirited young woman who would not give up, she was the type to fight till death. The survivors were roughly estimated to be 290-300 in number, the larger population was above and enslaved.

Life for the invasion survivors was not easy nor was it simple, but they had to keep going, for their people, for their late queen and for their kingdom.

{Amelia's POV}

Another day gone by with us hiding from our invaders. Life in the safe houses was becoming more bearable day by day but I was not going to let my people live like this. The daily activities took place as usual keeping everyone busy. I had training classes today with Bran at noon and then a meeting with Agnes the old healer. Life as a rebellion leader wasn't really comfortable but I do what I have to do.

I found myself thinking of how it all ended up like this. My hatred for the Nimarian king grew day by day and I swore that the day we have an army strong enough to oppose them, I would do to him what he did to our queen.

I got ready for the days work and got out of my tent to find everything the way it usually is. We lived in tents and small wooden crafts because the safe houses were already made of metal and were already a giant halls. There was no sunlight in the safe houses, the only things giving us light were small holes on the walls, lamps(fire) and star crystals. It was hard to tell the time because of this and we usually relied on the information the rescuers gave us. Speaking of the rescuers they should have headed out by now. They go out really early and really late because those are the times where most people were usually in their homes. Today's group was the one led by my closest companion,Madeline, we decided to put her as a rescue group leader because she was trained in the arts of stealth, we being I Bran and Bron.

As usual Bran was at the training centre early already warming up with the little ones, his brother on the other hand was most likely still fast asleep in his tent. Bron was in charge of weapons making and teaching the people survivors skills but he likes to take his time when doing things, although he does get his work done.
I snapped out of my thoughts and saw those pitch black eyes staring at me with a slight grin plastered on his face. I smiled at him and headed over casually shaking him and exchanging good mornings. He stood tall with his head held high and arms behind his back , he was always at a ready position, unlike his brother who hardly stands up straight even when talking to the elders.

Bran and Bron, despite being twins were nothing alike. They did look like each other physically with only a few features different but mentally and attitude wise, they were alarmingly different. Bran was the serious type who had an authority aura coming from him while Bron was more lenient and playful. They both were tall, broad shouldered and muscular but Bran's eyes were black while Bron's were dark brown. Not only that but Bran had scars on his face and a light stubble while Bron's face was clear but they both had short black wavy hair. They can be distinguished from one another though it is very difficult to do so. Bran's a little bit bigger than Bron nevertheless I still am short compared to them. I had a small frame and structure which made me look little and short but I'm one hell of a fighter.
I took most of my features from my late dad, his light brown eyes and brown hair and his caramel skin colour and i got my freckles and small frame from my late mother. They were both killed in the invasion.

Hey! Bran said shaking my shoulder slightly, snapping me from my thoughts." You okay ?" He asked and I nodded my head slightly, " yh just thinking, the normal stuff", he knew of my constant zoning out and thinking about the invasion and he did try his best to help. "One on one, you know to clear your mind", he said, looking at the sparring mat, I grinned and nudged him on his shoulders "first one to tap loses".

We took our stances on the mat and told a trainee to call it for us. Immediately he called it I went into offense and striked first throwing punches to his side and chest, but of course he blocked them. He remained at defence as I continued attacking adding some kicks to it. I went to kick the side of his head but he caught my leg making me switch to my left leg and using it to kick him in his side. He let go of my leg and stumbled back a bit. He charged forward making me go into defense as he threw swift kicks to my sides, I blocked all his kicks thinking that was his attack but was met with a surprise when he speared me the moment I released my block. I fell with a thud and he had me pinned to the ground, "tap" he said smiling as I tried to get out of his grip, "never" I said kicking his back making him turn to block it which made him release one of my arms, before he could turn back and catch my arm again I threw a punch at his face causing him to move off me, giving me the chance to tackle him. I did then got his hand around his back and pinned it there, "huh tap" he shook his head and said no making me tighten my hold on his arm but before I could reply a voice interrupted"ummmmmmmmhhhm". It was Bron and Madeline.

"The meeting with Agnes" Bron said, signalling that Agnes was waiting for me. "Oh yh it slipped my mind" I said getting off Bran and dusting my clothes. I had lost track of time. Madeline approached and we hugged exchanging heys. "The retrieving went well today, we got five huge bowls of cheese and three large bread baskets but we couldn't free anyone today though." She said looking slightly sad, "it's ok" I assured her then smiled and pat her back. "I'm sure you'll save someone next time". "Great ladies you can resume your chat later, I really want to get back to my tent but unless the meeting with Agnes is over I can't and I am really tired so please for the love of God have your girl chat later" Bron whined and I couldn't help but snicker. He urged all of us to start walking over to the healers tent where Agnes was, he was really eager to get the meeting over with.

We went into the tent and found Agnes sitting by some bowls mixing up a concoction, she turned around when she heard our footsteps and smiled. "Hello there Amelia, Bran,Bron and Madeline, thank you for accepting this meeting".
