Secrets Meant To Be Kept
Prologue
Choice's Consequence
The spell has been removed and trouble arises as Gumaddoon returns. An old threat bound now is set free. And in the middle of all this one of the Knights holds a secret from his brothers. Glen, Barbic and Royal Clans will unite, but how could one trust another when nothing is laid bare?
The knights had gathered at dawn in one of the courtyards. Sir Devoni Gummi felt out of shorts as he joined his brothers. He'd not been sleeping well lately and this was certainly an unwelcomed wake-call but it was urgent enough that he spared his fellow knights his ire.
Gummadoon has returned. It's only been about a year since they last appeared. The spell that kept them hidden had failed somehow. The navy blue knight had hoped his fellows could make sense of their current situation…just anything…ANYTHING but what he thought was happens.
Memories long shut away had returned. They had haunted him, but he'd kept them to himself. Only Plucki, Blastus and Gumlittle knew what Hell Devoni had been rescued from when he was seven years old. There were other things they didn't know too, but Devoni pushed that particular dark secret to the back of his mind. Now was not the time to dwell on things that would never see the light of day!
The Council soon arrived, and Woodale hurried over to Plucki and they exchanged notes. Devoni They would try to renew the enchantment, but should prepare for the worse. Navy fur grew damp with the cold sweat of fear. It couldn't be…could it? He turned on his heels and walk as quickly as he could without running. He left the courtyard and headed back to his room. He needed time alone. He needed to prepare himself.
Some things were never meant to be known.
But he may not have a choice anymore.
