Amity kneeled in front of the Emperor. He called her and the Emperor's Coven leader to tell her something important. The doors open and the Coven leader walks next to her and kneels too.

"Ah, Miss Triplet has arrived. Good, very good." Belos said, "As you both know, we suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Rebellion. This entire plan required the element of surprise and that failed."

"What are you saying, My Liege?" Amity asked.

"I think there's a mole in the castle." He said, "As my two most trusted allies, I hope you two can find who is responsible and give them a punishment worthy of a terrorist."

"If that is your wish, we shall carry it out to the full extent." Boscha said.

"I would hope so, otherwise, you will receive the same punishment." He said, "Leave."

Boscha and Amity left the throne room and walked to the guard area.

"This was a humiliating disgrace. We are going to end this war; we will crush this little rebellion." Boscha said.

"I know that look. You already have a battle plan."

"Yes, I do."

"Isn't it a little early? We just suffered a massive loss." Amity said.

"Which is why I'm not planning on fighting them. I plan on taking BonesBorough."

"What? Boscha, are you sure?"

BonesBorough was the only city that hasn't been touched by the war. It laid on the border of the Emperor's Isles and the Rebellion's territory. It's also where the Rebellion gains most of its support and supplies. If the Emperor takes control of it, then the Coven deals a fatal blow to the Rebellion. But, if the Emperor takes over, it could prove to be more costly than anyone realizes. BonesBorough may not be aligned with anyone in the war, officially, but it was clear that they stand with the Rebellion. If Boscha wants to take it over, she would definitely need a large army and should expect heavy resistance.

"I've never been more sure about anything in my entire life. Takeover that city and the Rebellion will have no choice but to surrender." Boscha said, "But let's talk about this later, we have a mole to find."

On the Knee, Luz was tossing and turning in her sleep. Flashes of... that day came back into her mind. Eda dying in her arms, the portal being destroyed, the feeling of her back being burnt by the explosion, that... that voice. That voice that's been in her head for five years. Ever since that day she's heard it

"Luz."

Luz shot up in her cot, breathing heavily, sweating heavily.

"T-that voice. That fucking voice." Luz got out of her cot on got dress in her usual outfit, "I've had enough of this."

Luz walked out of her tent and flew away on her staff. There was only one place she could go to confront this.
