Amon and Yumi walked through the corridor leading to the training area, Amon had told krio to call for everyone else to be gathered there, with each step he took the light at the end of the corridor got closer,

Amon was thinking to himself how happy he was that yumi wasn’t leaving due to his new found goal, but he felt reassured due to how she reacted when hearing his plan,

“Yumi I’m happy you aren't leaving us, because to be honest we need you for this to work”, Amon stated, his head kept facing forward, not even looking back behind himself once, as though he finally steeled himself for the task at hand,

“as I said you can’t get rid of me that easily”, yumi said, she held her head down with a slight smile on her face, she was content that amon at least had a reasonable plan,

they finally entered the training area, all eyes were on Amon, as he calmly made his way to the table that still stood in the middle of the training area,

he slowly took a deep breath, “Okay guys, I have come up with a plan to make our goal work, how do all of y’all feel about occupying the palace for a couple days”, Amon said, a slight grin started to form on his face,

“Amon what do you mean by that ?”, Bard asked,

“Exactly what it means”, Amon answered,

the boys who again were occupying the back of the crowd heard this,

“ohh, he has my full attention”, barak said, his face lit up at the sound, thought and idea of taking a castle,

“of course you would be excited about something like this”, Aster stated, but his eyes gave him away, they were just a bright eyed as Barak’s,

“As different as you two might be you guys are still the same”, levant commented,

“i can’t blame them taking over an entire castle, I’m definitely helping out on this one”, polaris said,

“not you to”, Levant said, slapping his palm against his face,

“come on this means you get more people to Fight”, Polaris said,

“i never said I wasn’t going to help, it’s just fucking disgusting how ecstatic you three are about doing it”, Levant scoffed,

back to amon’s plan,

“so how do we get to occupy the castle in the first place”, bard asked,

“well there are a few things we must do first before we get to that, the first step to all of this is, Levant, Polaris, Barak and Aster, these four must draw away the four pillars from Aluric”, Amon explained,

“Oh that should be easy, since we pissed them off good, back in the capital”, Barak shouted,

“once that’s done yumi and I will get Aluric’s attention by making a beeline straight for the castle, he won’t be able to ignore that”, Amon continued,

“and where do I fit into all of this”, Bard chimed in,

“that’s the most important part, Bard, you and Zack will be in charge of the remaining forces we have”, Amon explained,

He paused for a moment, he closed his eyes and gave a deep breath, he reopened his eyes, and slowly panned his vision over the group gathered around him, he inhaled heavily,

“ALL OF YOU HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT MISSION OF ALL, HOLD OFF DRACHTS FORCES UNTIL DEMITR ARRIVES”, Amon shouted,

“YESSIR”, the crowd shouted, in response to Amon’s request, after wards silence cut through the room,

Bard cleared his throat loudly, “this only takes care of dividing up their attention, but what happens after that ?”, he asked,

“i was going to get to that”, Amon said, his face turning like ice as the pressure radiating off of him become cold and domineering,

“you four boys have to win your fights, and by win I mean make it so that the pillars can’t interfere with what happens next, so I don’t care if you kill them, maime them, hell even if you cut off their legs that's acceptable, but make sure they can’t interfere”, Amon said, directing the output of his energy to where the boys stood,

“yeah yeah yeah we got it”, Barak answered, as he waved off his hand in a dismissive way,

“and what happens next”, Zack asked,

“after they win their fights, they will have to take over fighting aluric from me and Yumi, aand once they’ve done that we’ll head to the castle to confront the king and the prince”, Amon finished explaining,

Many of the people there began to whisper, Amon could tell most of them had a flickering faith in his plan,

“i assure you all this will work, it has to because frankly if it doesn’t that means we all are marching to our in two days time”, Amon said sternly,

“this is something we all know, what I personally want to know is how, how will you make the king put an end to this war”, Zack asked, leaning forward on the table,

“i can’t tell you that right now, but, what I can say is that I won’t be asking politely”, Amon answered,

“that’s all for now, from this moment till the end of the fighting everyone is on high alert, keep all your weapons at the ready, and all our heavy weaponry are to be stationed at the base’s main door, we leave the day after tomorrow,

some time later

Levant walked up to where Aster was sitting, he quietly took a seat next to him before opening his mouth,

“so are you ready ?”, Levant asked,

“what do you mean ?”, Aster answered,

“come on Aster, we’ve been through thick and thin, I know you and I can tell where your head is at, I know you’re planning to go after……. umm whats her name again”, Levant said,

“Kiara ?”, Aster responded,

“right right, her, I know you wanna fight her cause you want to know why serene joined her in the first place, and I also know that some part of you wants to try and save serene, but ask yourself this question first does she need saving, you might not like it but in two days if you go out there and she has resolved to put you down, if I get the chance I won’t hesitate to get her before she gets you”, Levant ranted on to Aster,

aster smirked to himself, “you do know me well, I’ll give you that, so you should know that I’ll cross that bridge when it gets here”, Aster responded, as he got up to walk off,

“ASTER, it isn’t only me who thinks so Barak, and especially Polaris are of the same mind”, Levant said,

Aster stopped where he stood, a couple steps in front of Levant,” I also know you three like the back of my hand, but you should be worried about who you have to take on”, Aster said, as Zack walked by taking note of Aster and Levant’s conversation,

“what do you mean by that ?”, Levant questioned,

“i’m sure you’ve noticed it, Pol is gonna go after the one who attacked the base, you already figured out who I’m after, and Barak is gonna go after Aluric’s right hand just to prove he’s the strongest, so where does that leave you, you have to fight against the one we literally know nothing about, so while I appreciate the concern, I’m more concerned that you going into a fight blind, so I suggest you go do you due diligence”, Aster said as he walked off leaving Levant behind,

Shortly after Zack approached him,

“he’s not wrong you know”, Zack said, taking a seat in front of Levant,

“but I can help you out in that specific category, as I happen to be an expert”, Zack continued,

“ohh and how are you an expert on one of Aluric’s pillars, I thought you said you were from Argon”, Levant questioned,

Ohh but I am, and so is your opponent, His name is Grahm, by the way”, Zack began explaining,

“okay yo have my attention”, Levant said, as he leaned forward in his seat, his senses focusing on what Zack had to say,

“continue”, Levant uttered,

“well for starters, my full name is Zackariah Argon Fullance”, the Crown prince of the kingdom of Argon, and Grahm was my body guard, as well as my best friend”, Zack explained,
