Ch. 14

Leader

The Holy Seven led them all blind folded to their leader so no one if deemed un-trustworthy would know how to find them. They walked for hours probably taking detours to make them think it was far.

"Halt!" said a voice Jake did not recognize as a member of the Holy Seven

"We bring them to meet the Leader so she can deem them allies or enemies." Said the blue Holy Seven member

There was six loud noises followed by a loud grating noise and Jake and his friends were shoved forward not unkindly.

They led him to a chair were he thankfully sat, wanting to rest his legs. After the sound of hurried feet his blindfold was removed and he could see a giant room with a huge golden chair at the other side. Jake came to his realization this is a throne room. A door on the other side slammed open and a small figure in bright golden armor walked in with her helm covering her face. As she sat down Jake could see her eyes rest on him. And with that she screamed a high pitch scream and jumped into the air and ran at him.

Jake worried had little time to react before she jumped on him and held him in a bone crunching huge.

"I didn't think you were alive. Where have you been?" asked a small voice

"Who are you?" asked Jake

"Don't you know your own sister Ekaj? It's me Yelah." Said the Yelah as she took of her helm

Jake could not believe it his little sister was the rebel leader. He held her at arms length examining her she was different in this realm. She was rougher, dirtier, and less like a little girl and more like a gremlin.

"Where have you been all these years brother?" Asked Yelah then she looked at everyone "Where have you all been?"

Jake looked to his friends trying to come up with some plausible story.

"You went off to fight the unseen darkness as gramps called it. After that we never heard from you again. Then the dragons were attacked and almost annihilated by the Dark King. But I knew you would always come back, I never stopped believing. I gathered who I could and rebelled against the Dark King.," Said Yelah "Ever since I have been waiting for you."
Jake was racking his mind trying to come up with a story to tell his realm sister. Then an idea popped into his head.

"I don't know. We went to fight the unseen darkness and that's the last thing I remember next I know I woke up in the subway station." Lied Jake, "I think something happened and it wiped our memories."

His friends all shook their heads in agreement and trying hard to make it look like they truly believed it and were incredibly sad. Tears filled Yelahs' eyes and she wiped them away.

"I'm sorry I didn't look for you, I could have found you and eased you into this new world." Said Yelah

There was a long pause while she studied the rest of them.

"You seem to be in good condition so nothing horrible has happened to you." Said Yelah she snapped her fingers and a small man came running out, "Find our guest chambers to sleep in."

"So you deem the trustworthy?" asked the green Holy Seven member

"Of course I do he is family." She said with authority

"Then we shall return to are post, my lady." Said the red Holy Seven member

At that they were gone in a flash flying in the air leaving a rainbow as they flew.

"We shall have a feast in your honor." Said Yelah

She snapped her fingers a second time and a small girl came running out.

"Inform the cooks to prepare the finest foods for the feast. Spread the word around also." Said Yelah, "Come, come you must be tired he will show you to his room."

"My lady there is something else. The Dark Kings army approaches." Said Darb

Her eyes had changed from happy to serious. She was silent for a few minutes.

"Postpone the feast, it will have to wait. Your rest will have to be short Ekaj. Will you help us?" asked Yelah

Jake had to think about it. If Ekaj the Dark King was there could he fight and beat himself. He felt like he was going to drown in all these thoughts. He made up his mind he had to for gramps.

"Yes of course." Said Jake

"Then follow me". She said

She walked towards the doors at the rear of the throne room. Yelah led them to a giant wooden door in which was a yellow Y. She pushed it open with ease and entered. The room behind the door was small and filled with books and a large desk and many chairs. Yelah took the chair behind the desk and rang a bell on the desk. A small man entered.

"Inform the generals to meet me in my office." Said Yelah

"What are we going to do?" asked Rose

"We are going to prepare for war." Said Yelah
