"Amazing." Nedwin muttered.

"How long have you been using Edomic?" Galloran asked.

"Just for today." Kendra replied. Ferrin walked over to Rachel.

"Looks like someone is stronger than you." Ferrin said.

"I'm glad, who knows what could happen. If I fall, Kendra could take my place, or help me in battle." Rachel said.

"Nothing will happen to you, not as long as we are around." Aram said. Jason nodded.

"You cant promise that." Seth said. He had woken up and was standing in the dark corner of the room. Kendra could see him but he was invisible in the shadow.

"Seth, walk out of the shadow." Kendra said. Seth appeared.

"You cant promise anything." Seth said.

"Why not?" Jason said, frustrated.

"Some things you cant do, like keeping a person safe. Nobody is safe, all of you will bow to me. That is a promise I can keep." Seth said.

"Seth?" Aram said.

"What's wrong with you?" Tark asked.

"Nothing is wrong with Seth, I'm just using his body to look at my opponents." Seth said. Kendra walked over to Seth. or what she thought was Seth.

"If your not my brother, who are you?" Kendra asked.

Seth smirked. "I'm Salmos, your new king. You left Fablehaven, I have already cleared that area and taken everyone there as prisoners." Seth said.

"How did you get to Seth while he was asleep?" Vanessa asked.

"Oh, Vanessa, I'm just like you." Seth laughed.

Vanessa looked at the floor, lost in thought. "Salmos?"

"I'm surprised you didn't recognize me sooner, sister." Seth fell to the floor. Kendra knelt at his side.

"Salmos is your brother?" Galloran asked Vanessa.

"He worked for the bad guys, just like I did. When I started fighting for the Sorenson's, he said he would find me and kill me, along with everyone I held dear. I never expected him to find me, especially here." Vanessa said.

"He took Fablehaven?" Warren said.

"I should have stayed and helped." Dale said.

"Nobody can take the blame for this." Corrinne said. He voice was really soft and kind. She hadn't spoken at all before now. Kendra looked down at Seth. He was laying on the floor, blacked out. Kendra nudged his side, he slowly woke up. Kendra blocked out what everyone else was saying.

"Seth?" Kendra asked.

"Yeah?" He responded.

"I'm so glad your ok." Kendra hugged her brother.

"Get off!" Seth escaped the hug. Kendra smiled.

"Everyone should get some rest. there are separate rooms for anyone who will take them. I suggest Seth, Nedwin, Aram, Jason, Warren, Tark, and Dale share a room. Kendra, Vanessa, Rachel, Corrinne, Ferrin, and Drake can share another. Me and Jasher can not stay tonight."

"I think the rooming arrangements sound fine." Aram laughed.

"Why is that funny?" Tark asked.

"Drake and Ferrin all the sudden became girls." Aram laughed. He was joined by most of the other guys in the room.

"We are Kendra's protectors, we go where she does." Ferrin said.

"If it is bothersome to have two separate rooms, everyone can stay in one." Galloran offered.

"That could work." Rachel said.

"Are there enough beds?" Jason asked, counting the beds in the room.

"Yes, even with our surprise guests, Jason and Rachel, there should be enough." Nedwin said.

"We will leave at dawn?" Ferrin asked.

"Yup." Jasher confirmed.

"Then we should rest. Are we doing one or two rooms?" Ferrin asked.

"I think two is better, may help people sleep better, especially me, Aram snores." Drake said. He earned laughs from Rachel, Jason and Ferrin. Nedwin let out a small laugh. Corrinne lead Kendra and the rest of the people staying in room two to the room. Nedwin lead the way to the boys room that neighbored the room that Kendra was staying in.

Everyone is good right? Drake asked.

I'm fine. Rachel said.

I am also. Corrinne said. Kendra didn't know that Corrinne could speak telepathically.

I'm Fine, just tired. Kendra said.

Sleep well. Galloran said.

Who all can use Edomic exactly? Kendra asked.

Only the people that just talked to you. This Salmos guy might but we must hope he cant read our thoughts. Drake said. Kendra arrived at her room and placed her bags by her bed.

"Before we leave we will need to make you two blend in." Ferrin told Rachel and Kendra.

"Should we even sleep? If we stayed up we could get more done." Kendra said, even though she was extremely tired.

"Sleeping is the better option. We will just wake up a bit earlier." Drake said. Kendra nodded. She decided to listen to whatever everyone else said, she and Seth were extremely new to this. Even if they had learned about mythical creatures, another world was another thing. Kendra got in her bed. She tried to sleep but her mind ran all through the night. This was real, right? She wasn't going to wake up in her bed back at Fablehaven and continue on with the boring life she was living, would she? This all seemed off. Maybe it would all seem better in the morning. Kendra shut her eyes and fell asleep.

She was standing in a empty field, the sun was shining directly overhead. She breathed in the air. It was sweet and clear. A gentle breeze lifted her heart.

"This is my only way of contacting you." A male voice said. Kendra turned around and saw Bracken leaning up against a tree. She walked over to where he was.

"Are you going to do this every time I go to sleep?" Kendra asked.

"Maybe, depends on how much energy it takes for me to do this." He replied.

"How's Fablehaven?"

"Destroyed, your family has been taken prisoner. I tried but my mother, she didn't want me to get involved. She said the man that did it was too strong for me and her combined." Bracken stood up straight. Kendra was crying.

"His name is Salmos."

"How do you know that?"

"He threatened us, through Seth."

"Everyone's ok?"

"Yeah."

"So what's your plan?"

"I cant help Fablehaven from where I am. I don't even know of a way back. While I'm here, I will do my best. All I know is that we are separating in the morning."

"Are you safe?"

"I have two protectors, Seth also has two. Currently I'm safe in a kingdom called Trensicourt."

"Who are the protectors?"

"A displacer named Ferrin and a Seedman named Drake. Seth's are, a half giant named Aram, and a very kind man named Nedwin."

"I trust Drake, but Ferrin, he isn't trustworthy."

"Why do you care anyway? Ferrin is a really nice person."

"I care about who is protecting you! Ferrin worked for the evilest man alive in that world!"

"He isn't now! You don't need to worry about me anymore. I can protect myself."

"You are new to Edomic! You cant protect yourself yet!"

"I can do enough." Kendra muttered the words and lifted a old log, she threw it at Bracken.

"You have no idea how dangerous that world is!" He said after he dodged the log. Kendra prepared another but he walked up to her.

"If there is anyone I don't trust, its you." Kendra said.

"Then you need to wake up." He grabbed her hands. "I will not bother your dreams." He kissed her cheek.

She woke up and screamed. Anger and fear filled her mind all at once. Drake and Rachel rushed to her side.

"Are you ok?" Drake asked.

"Yeah, I think I'm fine." She replied.

"What happened?" Rachel asked.

"Bracken entered my dreams." Kendra allowed Drake and Rachel into her vault of Bracken thoughts.

"You were close. I can see why he would enter your dreams to see if you were safe." Drake said. Kendra stood up and looked outside.

"What time is it?" Kendra asked.

"Almost dawn, the sun will be seen within moments." Drake replied.

"I guess I woke up at the right time."

"Bracken knew when to send you out." Rachel said.

"We can get you guys dressed in armor." Drake told Rachel and Kendra. He handed them two pairs of dark leather jeans and jackets. Similar to the ones he had. Drake lead them to a changing area and they took turns changing in the room. Kendra walked out after she had put on the armor.

"How do I look?" She asked. Drake looked at the armor.

"Its not too tight is it?" he asked.

"No, it fits fine."

"It looks great, I was just wondering." He said. Kendra smiled.

"If your Edomic fails," He pulled out a bow. "Use this." He handed the bow to her. She looked at the markings and style of the bow.

"Thank you, I have no idea how to use this though." They laughed.

"I could help you whenever we stop along the road." Drake offered.

"That would be nice." The sun came in through the window. Kendra felt the warm rays touch her hand. The warmth faded, Kendra realized that it wasn't the sun that warmed her hand, Drake had just touched her hand for a moment. He walked around the room and gently shook everyone awake. Rachel came out of the changing room.

"He can read your thoughts just as well as I can." Rachel said as they watched Drake wake everyone up.

"I cant exactly control my thoughts right now." Kendra said.

"How much do you like him?" Rachel asked.

"Enough." Rachel put her hand on Kendra's shoulder, then she walked out of the room to go wake up everyone in the boys room. Kendra giggled to herself.

"What's so funny?" Drake asked.

Kendra continued to giggle. "They aren't going to be able to wake up Seth. He has never in his life woken up on time, unless it was to sneak out and get himself in trouble."

Drake smirked. "Lets hope he decides to wake up today." Ferrin walked up.

"Are you guys ready?" Ferrin and Drake nodded. "Was I interrupting something?" Ferrin asked.

"No." Drake said. He walked away and grabbed his bags. Kendra did the same.
