Chiron glanced around the table in the big house. "Now that we are all here, Lorcan please explain why you are here unscheduled, and whom is the male that you have brought with you."

"As you all know," Lorcan began, "I am one of the many that live in a different realm. The one that I am in is at war and it's partly my fault. I was told to join Maeve's ranks and I did that. Over time I rose higher and I amone of her highest generals, or at least I was until I was told by Thanatos to close the portal to the realm by finding all of the keys to the gate. Maeve also wants the keys, but for other reasons. She wants to control the gate. Since I left her to go follow Thanatos' demands she has put a kill order on me." He paused for a few moments and made sure that everyone still was following his story. He pointed to the male next to him and continued "Rowan here was also one of her generals. He left her once he found his mate Aelin Galathynius. His mate and Maeve are at war with each other and the third side is Erawan a valg king."

Nico cursed when he heard the name, "Is he one of the three brothers? If he is why hasn't Maeve killed him and his army off?"

Lorcan turned to him, "Now you understand the situation Erawan is one of the three, and I don't know why she didn't kill him off yet. That in itself is one of the problems." He continued his tale for the councilers that didn't understand what was happening. "In the last battle between Aelin and Maeve, Aelin was captured. We need help unless you want their world to end up like the Valg world. A world of shadows and darkness."

"That still doesn't explain the conversation that you just had with nico." Piper said from her spot on the table.

"I was just getting there," Lorcan responed. "Maeve is a valg queen and she was the first to leave the Valg realm. Her husband, Orcus - the eldest, followed her to the new realm. What he did not realize was that time works differently in Erilea, and although he was a few days behind her, hundreds of years had passed. In that time Maeve found a way to convince the world that she was one of the Fea queens, sister to Mab and Mora. She killed the two of them so that they would not spread the truth. When the Valg kings arrived she had an army of Fea soldiers ready to fight for her she killed two. The third Erawan was entombed. But before she was able to get all three keys to control the passage to Erilea a demi-fea stole them. That ended the first war. But now Erawan is back andas I said earlier I don't know why she hasn't killed him yet.

"Any questions?" He asked, making sure that they were all on the same page. "Good, now that you all know what's happening, we need help. Nico, can you come back with us and teach our armys how to fully banish a valg? All the ones that we "killed" came back a few days later." A nod was all the response that Lorcan got.

"Next, Anabeth, are you willing to help us pann our attacks?" He asked.

"Of course," was her reply. "Just one question, who is the third person?"

"That I am leaving up to you and Nico," Said Lorcan. "Rowan and I plan on going back tomorrow after breakfast," With that the two left.

Chiron dismissed the reast of them, "Anabeth and Nico, please stay back." Once everyone left he asked them who they were going to take as a third.

"Honestly, I don't really care," Nico said. "Unless its Will, he is NOT going."

"There's no need to be overprotective of you boyfriend," Anabeth rolled her eyes. "I was going to suggest Percy, he can help you with teaching the solders." Nico nodded his approval.

"Very well now that that is settled you may go," Chiron said waving them away.
