Britt was still looking over her grandfather's words when there was a knock. She stashed the paper away as she stood up and walked to the door. As she opened it she saw Jake with a few bruises on his face. She was surprised that he really got hurt with all this but she stayed quiet.

"Sorry Britt, but people want you apart of the fights. We want to know if you are leader material." Jake said

"Very well, I shall join in the fights." Britt said

Jake nod as he left, Britt closed the door as she sighed and gathered her thoughts. She wondered who this prince was her grandfather spoke about in his plans but she still wanted nothing to do with it. She walked out to the group. As she came into view they all looked at her stopping their fights as they seen her walk amongst them. She eventually stopped and picked up a sword as she looked at it.

A leader must know sword fighting and Ka fighting. I have both thanks to my siblings..my Ka I would prefer to keep hidden but we must know who's the strongest amongst us. Britt thought

She took her position to prepare as the fights started back up, many came at her to test her but she held her skills true to what she'd learned. After defeating many in sword fighting it was her turn to go to Ka fighting. There she saw many Ka battles and waited to see when it would be the right time to join. Aiden came up behind her challenging her as he knew it was time for her to prove herself. It seemed unnecessary to her to go up against her brother but she accepted. Once the battle begun and her brother brought out his Ka, she breathed slightly as she concentrated her energy. Slowly a blue aura formed around her as it came from her body forming her Goddess within, she still was looking at her brother but everyone stopped. She was about to attack when everyone kneeled down who was around her, her brother held his hand out to forfeit.

"I won't fight you." Aiden said

"What?" Britt asked

did he purposely set me up to become the leader?! Britt thought

As no one was fighting anymore they were all still down, then Britt saw Jake walk over and place the black cloak around her shoulders. Britt knew too well that the black cape was for the leader of the group to wear to conceal them. With knowing they placed it on her she realized she was set up and by her own brother, his words started to come back to her.

You'd make a good leader. A princess needs leadership skills when she becomes Queen one day.

With the decision on leader made Britt started as leader but she maintained a group of people for healing purposes. She conducted training sessions to make everyone stronger. She walked around and sighed.

It was a few months before they made their first move to get the royals attention. Britt wasn't entirely focused but she had put Jake and Nana as co second in commands because tactics just weren't her thing right now. Jake led a group to get the supplies, and slowly as they made a few attacks they finally had the palace's attention. Britt layed in her room thinking over things than being a leader. She was wearing the leader cloak but then one of the times when her group went out Jake rushed through the door.

"Britt!" Jake said, Britt sat up "what?" Britt asked

"Your sister!" Jake said

"What?!" Britt said

She got up and followed Jake, there she saw Nana hurt a little from when they went out. She was quick to go to her sister's aid. She saw the wounds and was quick to heal her sister. Everyone watched in awe as she did so but as soon as she was done she fell sideways losing consciousness.

Jake picked her up and took her to the room she'd been in. As he layed her down he couldn't help admiring her sleeping form. He wanted her to be with him but he knew right now wasn't a good time with her unconscious.

Someday. She'll be mine Jake thought

From that day on Britt took the role as leader, the rebels moves were strategic as they made their moves. Britt decided to keep the hood on around her face as she became more serious about being the leader. She thought about the safety of her crew and eventually she made them a great threat to the palace.

Over in the palace with the threat arising the pharaoh was having a tough time pin pointing the location on everything. He decided to call him in his son, and when the guard let him in his son Prince Atem walked in the room. He bowed to his father.

"You wished to see me." Atem said

"Yes, My Son. I wish for you to find these rebels and infiltrate their organization. You are the same age as these rebels." The pharaohs said

"I will try my best father." Atem said

"Do you need any people to join you on this trip?" He asked

Atem thought about it "I'd like Mahad and Mana to join in this adventure." He said

"Very well. Go Prepare." The Pharaoh said

While Atem was preparing, In the rebels they were working to more secure away Britt's identity to the point it was hard to tell she was a woman. They made gloves from rope using it in a stitch pattern that showed her skin but covered her hands. The cloak covered most of her so it wasn't much of an issue. When her and her sisters were alone it was the only time she'd seem not so serious but still she wasn't going to let weakness show.

"We need more members and a bigger hide out so we can train and recruit." Bre said

"I have just the place but recruiting will be hard. I'll send out one boy and one girl from our group. Aiden is getting our supplies to move since the area is one we own." Britt said

"Don't you ever want to settle down and find love?" Nana asked

"When and if that time comes." Britt told her
