Author's Note: Guys, this was my first fic. It has plot holes, lots of grammar issues and more. I would re-do it, but it is a memory for me. If you want a GOOD story, check out my other fics. Up to you though.

Prologue

"We found the shell Master." A Dark figure says as they present the shell to the woman in the dark robe.

Good. She speaks into the Dark figures mind. You weren't followed?

"No."

Very good. Phase one is now complete.

"If you don't mind me asking, what do you intend to use the shell for?" The Dark figure asked

"So, so many things. I shall finally get my revenge, as shall you."

"How will this help destroy the fairy kingdom? To me and you, isn't it just a shell?

A sound like cold laughter went through the Dark figures mind.

I suppose. She sent to the Dark figures mind.

"Then what do you intend to do?"

The Dark figure saw a flash go through his mind. A vision of a girl with sea moss eyes and light brown hair, but unmistakingly the glow of a fairykind.

"A mortal fairykind!" The Dark figure asked, astonished. "There hasn't been one for thousands of years! Are you sure this is true."

As true as can be.

"how will she do this though? She is just a child and she would probably never betray the queen. She is her handmaiden after all." The Dark figure couldn't help but ask.

Her mind is open. Came the whisper She does not know her own power, this will not be a hard job.

"How do we get to her? I can leave at once."

No. The words came harshly to the Dark figures mind, causing them to stagger backwards. She will come to me.

"How do you plan to do that."

Bait her of course. The figure fingered the shell.

Not only is this shell powerful, but by removing it you essentially destroyed the barriers around Inter Flumina. The queen shall take notice of this. And being the lazy slut that she is she will send her handmaiden to do it well she rolls over in her throne.

The Dark figure chuckled darkly at the truth of the statement. At least the truth to the Dark figure.

"Will she be alone?"

Her son and maybe the shadow charmer will come along. I can see that much.

"She sends her own son as well. Ha! She truly has grown weak."

There is truth to your statement, I must admit. Though she is not completely useless to me yet. I need her to voluntarily give me the throne.

"She would never do that! Would she?"

You want to know something?

"Of course. Anything you can offer to me."

The fairy queen would do anything to save her son and her handmaiden. Maybe even give up her throne.

The Dark figure couldn't help but chuckle at this news.

"What about the king? Does he pose a threat? Or the young shadow charmer."

The king is currently in a trance, and the shadow charmer is weak.

The Dark figure received a vision of Seth struggling to put out a fire. Something most creatures of darkness could do the minute they were born.

"Weak indeed. Is there anything that could pose a threat to us?"

None.

"How long will we have to wait." The Dark figure was getting more anxious by the minute.

Not long. She is about to come here as we speak. Not long indeed.
