Author's Note: Sorry for the wait! And that this is short. I couldn't add more to this without switching perspectives and ruining the format. Well, we have 5 more chapters and the epilouge and then we're done! This story is also extremely wrong facts straight now that Dragonwatch is out (I won't spoil without warnings!) But I hope you enjoy nonetheless. Next chapter will be sooner! Promise! Enjoy!

Seth V

Seth blinked, feeling a little stiffer than he had a minute ago, but he quickly shook it off. Man, dungeons always made him feel funky at times. He ended up blinking quite a few times, for his eyes were quite dry. Must be dusty down here as well. This just keeps getting better and better.

Just when he was recovering from the unexplainable dust in his eyes, he heard a lot banging coming from all sides of the wall. It was so loud, he was forced to cover his ears.

"What is going on!" He shouted over the noise.

"It's the wake up call!" Lilliana cried, "I have to leave! They're bringing us all to our waiting rooms for the arena!" She quickly pushed past a stone and shut it behind her, making it as if she was never there.

The banging of the walls went on for an agonizing five minutes before it stopped, but Seth would have preferred it rather than what was coming next. Seth watched a door suddenly appear as a rocky figure, similar to Hugo, cluni his way into the cell.

"Her majesty requests your presence." He said gruffly. "Fail to comply and you will be killed."

"We'll come peacefully." Bracken spoke up, putting his hands behind his head. Seth mimicked his actions and noticed Kendra do the same from the corner of his eye.

"Good," he said gruffly, "Follow me." Seth walked with him as he led them down a long stone hallway with no windows, making it almost pitch black inside. The only thing Seth was relying on was the pounding footsteps of the rocky figure. But even with that guidance, he still tripped quite a few times.

"In here." He said gruffly as he pointed to a smooth stone wall.

"There's nothing there though," Seth said, unable to stop the words from escaping his mouth.

The stony figure chuckled as he shoved both him, Kendra and Bracken straight into the stone wall. Seth didn't even time to scream, but to his surprise, he simply passed straight through the wall and fell against more stone.

This room was fairly lighted, but there was nothing to be seen. He was fully surrounded by stone walls with just enough room for all three of them to lay down maybe three times and with three seats. Knowing it wouldn't work, but trying anyway, he pushed back against the wall they had come through only to feel solid stone beneath his fingertips.

Seth sighed as he returned to his chair. He looked at his sister and friend and let out a sigh of relief that they were both alright. The both sat in their chairs, staring blankly into space as if they were both marching to death.

"So," Seth fried to break the silence, "What now?"

Silence. Seth immediately gave up on any conversation with them as he slumped back into his seat. Bracken looked at Seth and gave him a small squeeze on the arm. A comforting gesture along with a small smile.

"You'll be fine Seth." Bracken said, "And Kendra."

Seth looked over to his sister where she stared into space, fiddling with her fingers. Seth could have sworn she was glowing slightly, but it was just the torch light dancing off of her. Maybe he was starting to go insane.

Before Seth could answer to him, they heard a shaking around them.

BRING YOUR CONTESTANT FORWARD! The voice boomed, OR ALL WILL DIE ALONE.

Seth watched sadly as Bracken started to get up and head towards where they were coming from, Seth saw a flash of gold and was sure this time he hadn't imagined it, before the light brilliantly vanished from the room.

Confused, Seth quickly looked around the room and looked terrified at the site. Bracken was kneeling one-kneed in the ground, clutching his chest as if he had been punched as he struggled to get up. And his sister was gone.
