Chapter 2
Marcos
We had to move fast if we were to accomplish our mission. As of yet Melbas Gal Ellerbe (literally meaning Memphis the Terrible) hadn't realized just who he had caught, but that wouldn't last for long. Soon enough, he would realize, and once he did security around the prisoner would triple. Brandon and I had to get to him before that happened. We crawled stealthily through the blue djinn bushes until we saw a guard pulling a water child through the outdoor corridor leading up to the palace. This was our chance. It had been so carefully planned out, nothing could go wrong. Brandon took careful aim, focusing the power of his aura to create a dart that would effectively "knock out" the guard, as humans would put it, and then let it fly. It made a soft whistle before hitting the target square in his right shoulder blade. Before, the man had even hit the floor we were out of the bushes. I started stripping the guard of his armor down to his clothes and then tying him up while Brandon told the terrified water child that we would let him free if he did exactly what we told him to. After another second or two the water child consented, reasoning that whatever we did to him, it couldn't be any worse than what was happening to him here. I quickly dressed in the guards clothing, threw a hood over my face, and took the child's chain. Brandon gave me a brief smile and than ran towards our meeting point. I took a deep breath and walked into the palace.
I don't know what I expected to see when I walked through the doors, but it wasn't what I saw. The court room of the palace was huge. Teeming with jewels and intricate paintings, it would have been beautiful if not for the evil it held within, but the walls of the court room where not what caught my eye. It was the woman in the center of the huge room. She was being held in place by a guard on either side and when I looked up to examine her my mind went blank. This girl was drop dead gorgeous. With faintly glowing white blond hair, pale pink lips, and light blue eyes that seemed like they could look into eternity, it was no wonder Memphis wanted her to submit so bad. Then I realized that I had abruptly stopped. Memphis motioned me forward as I noticed why he wanted the child. He was going to torture the water child to get to her. Brandon, hurry up.
Brandon
I ran as fast as I could. I knew that if I didn't hurry, an innocent life would be taken. I had already found a high ranking guard and taken his uniform. Now, everything depended on me getting there quickly. I burst into the courtroom of the palace, ignoring my surroundings and focusing on my part of the plan.
"Why have you dared-"Memphis started, but I cut him off.
"Nymph army, at the front gate!"
Everyone ran out of the court room except the two guards holding the prisoner, the prisoner that we had to pull out of here as fast as we could. The prisoner that would even the playing field between us. She was a … girl. At that moment, she turned towards me and I caught a glance of her face before the guards pulled her back. My mouth practically dropped out of my skull. My sister was here. My sister was the one, the one we had been looking for.

Brandon burst in through the doorway just as Memphis punched her again. He took in none of his surroundings while he relayed the lie to Memphis. When they had all left, Brandon seemed to notice the girl for the first time. His response was anything but expected. He just stood stock still in amazement. Finally I decided it was time, I did something. I let go of the water child, the signal that he was free, and advanced towards the prisoner. Upon seeing this Jonathan promptly came to his senses and gave the guards the same dart that he had given their companion. They released their grip on the prisoner and she tumbled to the ground in front of them. I rushed forward to grab her as Jonathan tied the guard's hands. She looked as pale as death. I immediately checked her breathing. She was alive, just unconscious. I threw her over my shoulder and ran for the exit. The gliders where waiting for us. We hopped on and maneuvered away, arrows slicing the air around us. Suddenly an arrow shot above my glider, going practically unnoticed until it had totally split my glider in half. We went down, the girl's white blond hair streaking in the tough wind. I forced the energy of my aura to create a tight ball around us, cushioning our fall and looked up to see Brandon's face of defeated anguish as he flew away. I heard noises yanking up all around us. Brandon had gotten away, but we where surrounded.
