Lincoln, Lucy and Haiku were now looking through the castle archives for a 'book of dragons'. These books had all the known details about the first made dragons that were used in the war, with drawings, names, personality, places of death, cause of death but if the dragon survived it would have its current location and the number of successful hatch-lings. A new one was published every 5 years with updated info. It was still night so they used candles sat in holders to light the way.

"I found it!" Lucy called. Lincoln and Haiku made their way to her as she brought the book to a table. Lucy placed her candle and book on the table.

"The dragon definitely died in the war so we need to start from the beginning ." Lincoln thought aloud. Lucy and Lincoln looked carefully at every drawing of the dragons, soaking in every detail while bringing forth their memory's of that bone chilling night.

They eventually turned the page and they gasped. "Their it is." Lucy whispered.

The dragon the very same 3 horns. 1 large horn above each eye and the last horn was shorter on its nose.

"Trident the Piercer." Haiku read from the book. "Died during a ambush with most of its company. All but 5 humans 2 werewolves and a vampire were killed by countless orcs and trolls. The survivors escaped the battle but all but a werewolf were injured before the wild life finished them off, or they died from their injuries."

"It says the ambush was at the Zial forest." Lincoln announced.

"That place is still owned by trolls and orcs." Lucy informed the others.

"With criminals and bandit groups on the outskirts." Lincoln added with a glare. He has had full of there kind, and he's only meet that one skinner.

"The sword must have belonged to one of the vampires in the company." Lucy thought.

"We have to to tell the king and queen." Haiku spoke.

"They will be asleep right now. We should go back to bed and tell them in the morning." Lincoln sujested.

"I just got up." Haiku mentioned.

"I think I can help. Lucy, you go get some sleep." Lincoln responded.

"What about you?" Lucy asked with a hint of concerned. "How will you be able to rest?"

Lincoln put his arm on her shoulder. "I will be fine." He gave her shoulder a small rub. "Go. Rest. I will join you shortly."

Lucy nodded and left.

Soon.

Lincoln and Haiku were in her room, with Haiku laid on her bed with Lincoln standing over her. Haiku lifted her head off the pillow and looked at Lincoln. "What are you going to do?" She asked.

"I am going to try and preform a sleep spell. These are very hard, especially when some is well rested. But the most important thing is for you to trust me." Lincoln slowly placed his hand on her forehead, moving her hair in the process and looked her in the eyes. "So Haiku, do you trust me?" He asked softly.

Haiku thought back to when they first met. Lynn had alerted him to herself and Lucy hiding and Lincoln had warned them that he would attack and spoke truthfully of his intentions. When Lucy reviled herself he acted out of anger, frustration and grief. Once Lucy realised how much she hurt her brother, soon apologised and Lincoln happily forgave her. That night she witnessed how troubled he has become, with Lucy shown to be the only person to sooth his mind. Despite bearing his own demons, he was still happy to comfort Lana during her identity crises. Lincoln had truly earned her trust and respect. "Yes. You have my trust." She answered.

Lincoln nodded "Good. Now all you need to do is relax." He responded before gently pressing her head down. Once her head was resting on her pillow Lincoln kept his hand position, and began to whisper the incantation into Haiku's ear.

Haiku's whole body jolted and she sharply inhaled. Haiku felt herself become exhausted. Her eyes slowly closed as tilted her head towards Lincoln and slowly exhaled.

Lincoln slowly clenched his fist on her head before withdrawing it. He quietly left the room and carefully closed the door behind himself. Once the door was shut he let out a sigh. He opened his fist revealing a small ball of light. That looked like the right amount. To much of her energy and she would not wake up by herself until the afternoon, or be tired when someone did wake her. To little and she would wake up while everyone was still sleeping. The light began to fade in his hand until it completely dissipated.

With that Lincoln walked back to Lucy's room.

The next morning.

Lucy woke up to see her brother was resting peacefully. Just like before their fingers were lightly touching. Lucy gave Lincoln quick, small smile. She carefully retracted her hand from Lincoln's.

Lincoln hand clenched into a fist and his eyes shot open with panic. When he saw Lucy, Lincoln relaxed and smiled. "Is it morning now?" He asked, and Lucy smiled back.

They gathered up their things and left the room. Once outside the room Lincoln knocked twice on Haiku's door, then pressed his ear on it.

Inside Lincoln could hear the sound of moving fabric. "Is someone there?" Haiku asked from inside.

"Just me and Lincoln, Haiku." Lucy answered.

"Give me a moment." Haiku responded. Lincoln took his ear off the door, and waited. Haiku soon opened the door, wearing her cloak and mask. Lucy was wearing hers as well.

"Did you sleep well?" Lincoln asked.

"Yes, quite well, thank you Lincoln." Haiku answered with a small smile, to which Lincoln smiled back.

The group heard someone running to wards them. So they turned and saw that it was Lynn. "Morning everyone." She greeted.

"Morning Lynn." The trio responded.

"I am about to get the princesses for breakfast, do you want to come with me?" Lynn asked them.

Lincoln shrugged. "Why not?" He asked with smile.

"Great!" Lynn happily exclaimed. "This way!" With Lynn jogged past them.

Soon.

The reunited group of 4 reached 3 doors. Lynn stopped before the doors and spoke. "Okay, Haiku and Lucy, you get Lana, since she knows you." Lynn orders as she points to the left door. "I will get Lola because she can be a handful." She announced while pointing to the door behind her with her thumb over her shoulder. "And Lincoln, you get Lily." Lynn said as she pointed to the final door.

With a nod they entered the rooms. When Lincoln entered lily's room he noticed that it had 8 touches (4 on the left wall and 4 on the right). This was definitely the brightest and the warmest room in the castle. There was also a table with draws with a pillow on it on the left, a chair next to a chest on the right and a crib next to the table.

Lincoln walked up to the crib and saw a baby girl with tuft of blonde hair sleeping, wrapped in a lavender blanket.

Lily felt Lincoln watching over her and woke up. Lily looked confused at the white haired boy. "Oo?" Lily babbled.

Lincoln smiled at Lily. "Hi Lily." Lincoln spoke softly. "Lynn told me to wake you up."

"Dadda?" Lily asked.

Lincoln chuckled a little and shook his head. "No not Dadda Lynn, Lynn Lynn." Lincoln answered.

"He means me Lily." Lynn calls from the door as walks into the room.

"In! In! In!" Lily happily beckons.

"I can take it from here Lincoln, Lana wants you to meet Lola." Lynn says as she picks up a giggling Lily.

Lincoln walks out the room and it immediately hugged by Lana. "Morning Lincoln!" She happily greeted.

Lincoln smiled "Morning Lana." he greeted as he returned the hug. Lincoln looked up and saw another blonde the same height as Lana but with longer hair giving him a sour look. "You must be Lola, Lana's twin." He greeted.

"I am not Lana's twin!" She exclaimed in frustration. "She is mine." This time Lola spoke in a far softer voice as she tilted her head up and closed her eyes, with the fingers of her right hand resting on her collar. Lana rolled her eyes at her sisters antics and let go of Lincoln, who did the same in response. Lola broke her poss and spoke. "But I suppose I should thank you for bringing her back. She maybe a pain but she is still my dearest friend." Lola said as she approached Lincoln and presented the back of her hand.

As Lincoln began to kneel down to kiss it, Lana slapped Lola's hand away. "Stop being such a snob Lola." Lana commanded.

Lola and Lana was ready to pounce on each other, but Lynn stood in the middle of them while holding Lily. "Seriously!? You just got up!" Lynn scolded them.

Lana grumbled as she looked back to Lincoln and her mood lightened. "Will you be joining us for breakfast?" She asked.

"Well we need to talk to your parents anyway." Lincoln answered.

"They will not give you the key Lincoln."Lana responded.

"We think the necromancer is elsewhere." Lincoln mentioned.

"Why?" Lana asked.

"I will let Haiku explain, it was thanks to her that we figured it out." Lincoln motioned.

Haiku felt her checks redden in response to being put on the spot. "Just because the sword was made in the catacombs, it dose not mean the necromancer is there. So we found out where the dragon died and the reports of the fallen match what attacked during the attack." Haiku informed everyone sans Lincoln and Lucy.

"Well, what are we standing her for? Come on, this way!" Lana spoke excitedly as she ran down the hall.

Soon at the great hall.

Lana forced the double doors open, before running straight down to the end of the hall, rushing past countless knights and others who worked in the castle. "Mother! Father! We have another clue to the Necromancers location!" Lana yelled causing the entire hall to stop what they was doing and look to the new arrivals.

Once the others caught up with Lana, King Lynn spoke. "What is this new clue?" He asked.

"Haiku believed we should find out the dragon's location of death instead of just relying on the location the sword was forged." Lucy spoke. The dragon was Trident the Piercer, and they died in the Zial forest. The necromancer is more likely to be there then at the catacomb." Lucy answered.

"Well done." King Lynn commented. "I will need that sword if I am going to persuade the others." He mentioned as he pointed to the black sword.

"Of course, I have been holding this thing my other swords scab strap anyway." Lincoln commented. Lincoln unsheathed the sword and rested its blade on his hands leaving the handle free.

Lincoln began to get on his knees when. "No." King Lynn spoke. This confused everyone but Queen Rita. "A Sunscorn kneels to no one." This caused the knights to gasp as well as a few others, and the all broke out into whispers.

"How did you know?" Lincoln asked as he stood straight. "You have hair and magic powers like your farther, and the fearlessness and hart of your mother. The second you said you come from the swords scarab, I knew who you are." king Lynn answered. He then looked at Haiku. "And I have met you before, daughter of Kevin the Crusher." This caused even more gasps and whispers among the others.

Later.

The group of four, along with Lynn's sisters and the princess twins. "I can not believe you are Sunscorns!" Lana exclaimed. "Your mother is my idle!"

Lincoln and Lucy smiled. "She would have been happy to hear that." Lucy announced.

"How has he meet me before? I do not remember him." Haiku asked.

"You were only two years old when your farther brought you when he came to discuses about some of your group dealing with all the criminals that came out at night." Luna answered.

Despite all of the family talk, only one thought occupied Luan's thoughts as she held herself. "You are going to start chasing the necromancer again?" It was more of a statement then a question.

The entire group stopped dead, and all positive energy left them all, as uncomfortable silence set in.

Lincoln sighed. "I have to." He answered. Haiku hopped he would answer otherwise.

"And will not leave my brother to face this alone." Lucy joined in.

"But you will die!" Luan argued. "I do not care if your parents could kill a army! You are not your parents!"

"Waiting for the armies will take to long." Lincoln responded.

"You are marching to your death and your little sister is following you!" Luan shot back. Lucy was unfazed, but Lincoln did glance at his sister.

"Leave them Luan." Luna said with a hand on her shoulder. "There is no stopping them."

"All we can do is help them." Lana joined.

"Lana we are not taking you with us." Lincoln resounded.

"Maybe not but you are going to need better cloths if you are going to the Zial forest." Lana responded.

"And I know just the tailors to make them." Lola joined in.
