With their Defeat weighting them down, Soren and Claudia at no choice but to return to Katolis with only their prisoner.
"I mean, at least we'll have some good news to tell King Harrow," Soren Brought up, trying to lighten the mood a bit.
"Yeah, What good news, Sorry we didn't get your Son back as he is choosing to run into enemy territories with an Elf," Claudia replied with a mocking tone to match her brother.
"No, I mean about the fact that we found the step-prince," Soren revealed what his good news was to tell the king.
This Caused Claudia to think. She had failed both her mission. She didn't manage to get Prince Ezran to come back to the Palaces with her and Soren Or get Callum to go back to the tower. To top it all of, Now both Ezran, Soren and this new guy now know Callum and her father. Making the memory potion worthless now as it wouldn't work on all of them.
"You don't think Dad is actually the one to have Taken him, do you?"Soren asked.
"I still think it was some trick by the elves," Claudia answered.
"Well, I hope your right. I really don't want to have to arrest Dad," Soren groaned. As a kid, he would have thought the sight of his dad being carted off in handcuffs to be kind of funny now, not so munch.
"We would you have to Arrested Dad," Claudia Accused. Viren was doing a good thing. He was finding a cure for Callum Sickness. It didn't make any sense to throw him in jail.
"Because if Dad was the culprit, that means he competed for treason," Soren shared.
"Come on, treason, you have to be joking."Claudia laughed at her older brother.
"I'm not Claudia even if he is just a step-prince Callum is still a member of the royal family; kidnapping would be seen as an acted of treason," Soren Remarked.
"Don't be silly, Sor-bear. I'm sure dad didn't do anything wrong," Claudia Smiled. Only Soren didn't smile back at her. He just stared and looked at her with shocked eyes.
"You knew about Dad and Prince Callum," Soren said. With a dark tone to his voice
"What are you talking about?"Claudia asked, still trying to make light of the situation.
"You knew that Dad had been the one to have taken Prince Callum," Soren answered.
"Oh, Come on, Soren, you can't really believe that," Claudia Laughed, still hoping Soren was only joking.
"I am not Joking Around Claudia, I've known you for a long time, and I know when you're lying. You knew that it was our father who kidnapped Callum," Soren Demanded.
Before the sibling could continue their fight, they came across a town with a dragon circle it. Soren asked what the guards were doing to stop the Dragon. Angered by the fact that he was told that since the Dragon was only flying above, they couldn't do anything to it.
Soren took over control of the guard station in the town. He had ordered the Dragon to be taken down with a ballista. Soren managed to hit the Dragon, but the Dragon didn't go down. Angered by being Shot at Pyrrah, a fire dragon began raining down her flames on the town. Destroying the building that made up the town. With a full-blown battle taken place, Corvus managed to conceive Soren and Claudia to untie him to help them fight. Using a Dark magic spell, Claudia makes it, so the next Ballista fired, hitting the Dragon sending it crashing down to the ground.
Now distraction with going to get the Dragon they had taken down. The brother and sister didn't notice Corvus had gone off to counite his mission of finding Prince Ezran. Luckily with his skills as a tracker, he could already tell that they weren't that far.
After escaping from Soren and Claudia, The group managed to fly on the back of Phoe-Phoe for a few miles. When the day time had arrived, they began to notice how Phoe-Phoe was flying lower and lower. Once they land using his ability, Ezran exampled how Since Phoe-Phoe is a moon phoenix, she gets her power from the Moon Nexus and with the sun being out, it's becoming harder for her to fly with the sun out. Deciding to take the rest of the journey on foot, the trio sent Phoe-Phoe back to Lujanne at the Moon Nexus.
They have taken a bit of a rest on their way to Nadia. Callum began trying to figure the odd cube thing that he at Rayla pick up for him from when they left the Banther Lodge. Callum notes how one side glowed when he points it at Bait, but a different side glowed when he points at Rayla. Callum also notices that the cube didn't glow for Ezran but did glow the same side for him and Zym.
"Would ya stop pointing that thing at me?"An annoyed Rayla Demand from Callum, who was conducting his experiment of pointing the cube at his travelling companion.
"Sorry about that," Callum Applozied putting the cube back in his bag, "I think this thing has something to do with what arcanum someone is connected to"
"Really, what do you mean by that?"Rayla asked.
True Rayla had never had that much interest in learning about Magic, prefer her blades over spells. Then again, a human doing primal Magic without any form of the first stone to help was something that no one in the history of Canada would think to be possible. It was only natural for curiosity to take over Rayla for her to want to learn more about what Callum could figure out.
"See, it glows this way for Bait Because he's a glow toad and there connected to the Sun arcanum."Callum had taken the cube back out and show Rayla what he was talking about
"But it glows this way for you since your a Moonshadow elf and has."
"And I have a connection to the Moon arcanum," Rayla interrupt, understanding what her newfound friend.
"Yeah, that's right," Callum exclaimed. "And look, the same side glows for Zym and me since we are connected to the Sky Arcanum."
"But no sides light up for Ezran since he's not connected to any of the Acracum," Callum exampled, pointing the cube to his sleeping brother.
"Maybe be you are on to something," Rayla guessed, Smiling at Callum. "We should get going soon. Wake up, Ezran. I'm going go Scot ahead," Rayla ordered before heading into the woods.
It may have been because he had spent a large part of his life locked away in a tower. With a dark mage being the only person he would sometimes talk to. Callum realized that he was slowly developing feelings for Rayla. The moment he realized was when they ran into Soren and Claudia at the moon nexus. When he was a child before the tower, Callum had a giant crush on Claudia, thinking that she was the prettiest girl he would ever see. But when he saw her again had the moon nexus, all he could think of was that he thought Rayla was prettier than her.
"We'll do," Callum agreed to what Rayla had told him to do. The choice to ignore his feeling it was like they could ever be anything she was an Elf and he was just a human.
Back at the Katolis Castle deep down in the dungeons. A place where so few at ever bother to venture A dark mage was standing he front of a Mirror. It didn't make any sense to Viren. The mirror was by the bed of the dragon king. It had to mean something. As he was about to leave, Viren blew out the candle used for light when he noticed a change. The once-standard mirror with nothing special to be seen about no showing a room.
"What do we have here?"Viren asked the mirror.
