--Piece of the last chapter…
She looked over at Wanda who looked over at her and grinned. She nodded her head. "Hang her." She said. Jin heard the man opening the small door that was right underneath her.
--
Jin closed her eyes lightly. She snapped her eyes open right before she was truly hanging.
"WAIT!" She screamed. The guard who was in charge of hanging her was shocked and he stopped. Wanda turned to her, irritated.
"Why have you listened to her?" She started screeching at the guard but Jin yelled at Wanda before the guard could even answer.
"Wanda, stop! If anyone should be hung its you!"
"Take that back!"
"Over my dead body." Jin said calmly. She knew Wanda well enough. Wanda would want people dying thinking that they did something wrong and that they should have listened to their queen. Jin, in her mind, was praying. Jin almost smirked when Wanda started to fall into her trap, but that would reveal what she was doing if she did.
"WHY do you say I should be hung."
"You only know if you untie me."
"How stupid do you think I am?"
"Stupid enough to think that one of MY armies could kill me." Hitomi looked over to see what Jin was doing. At first she thought that Jin was just stalling for time, but then whispers started going all through the crowd. She looked over to Zatera only to see that he was starting to grin. She bent down to him a little bit.
"What's going on?" She whispered. Zatera just shook his head happily and his grin growing a little while.
"It's an old tale about Zantaki. All true royals would be able to stop small armies on end. Everyone thought it was just a legend, I mean it's been floating around Zantaki for years! You see but nobody actually wanted to find out whether it was true or not because its like, it won't find the true hero to save our land, it will show that that prince will be extra strong and stuff like that, so nobody really cared…" He told in the small time that he had. Hitomi nodded her head at it. Wanda stared opened mouthed at her and then closed it.
"You think that YOU are the chosen royal? Do you want to kill anymore fathers, brothers, and grandfathers while you're at it?" She knew that that would strike a nerve. To her surprise though, Jin kept calm.
"I don't need to Wanda, you just keep on sending them to kill me. If I didn't fight back they would!" She knew that not many people in the crowd would like hearing that, but, its true.
"I sent those armies? Why would I do that?" She hissed, "Anybody with sense wouldn't do that when one army fell!" She said. It didn't make much sense to Jin but she supposed it was because Wanda didn't help the armies trained. Everyone in the crowd thought that Jin was going to come back with a comeback except one. The person who did it for her.
"What do you mean 'why would I send more in?'" Someone yelled from the crowd. It was one of the men that Jin let go with his life.
"Peasant, keep your mouth shut!"
"Look!!" a voice said. The crowd parted so that they could see easier. There was a small silver puddle in the ground. Suddenly, the silverish liquid jumped up from the ground. And changed its form. It changed into a silver eagle and started to fly in to the other direction. Everyone turned to see where the creature was going. It was at the top of the hill where the eagle disapeared. It was WHERE the eagle disapeared that truly shocked everyone though. The eagle turned into a liquid again and went into the horn of the unicorn. That's when something clicked in Everyone's head, even Hitomi's though she's not used to their legends. Another murmur went through the crowd they were all saying, 'The unicorn's blood,'. Hitomi bit her lip as scenes flashed through her eyes.

A four year old girl and an eight year old were sending lights at each other and both were getting worn out.
"You will not help the run away Virginia!" A girl with black hair and small silver and white streaks in it screeched. Virginia just shot another shot at her opponet. She wasn't used to fighting like this and wasn't going to use her voice to slow herself down. The other girl, Wanda, kept on taunting her.
"Aw, poor Virge forgot how to speak!" Wanda snarled. Jin hit her in the stomach with a blast that sent Wanda tumbling into the other wall. Jin heard Wanda whisper something and her eyes widened as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"teareozas" Wanda whispered. Jin recognized what the word meant. She didn't want to but she knew she had to retreat. Sooner than what she hoped, crows started following her, started to peck at her. She was thankful that she got all of them to the other planet earlier as she fell to the ground. The crows were still pecking her flesh but she didn't swat them away. She was so tired…She felt them start to leave her. Wanda was calling them back, thinking that she was dead. She twisted her head just a bit to look at Wanda. Wanda's back was to the door. Jin thought only one thought 'It's now or never'. The familiar phrase ran through her head. Jin bit her lip as she pushed herself up and started to run. She could here Wanda ordering her crows to follow her but they wouldn't be able to. Jin had already ran into the forest. Wanda wouldn't be able to get to her. She was free.

Hitomi was a little unsettled. Usually she gets visions differently then this. They don't just pop up for no reason. Maybe it did have a reason but she didn't know what it was. 'What am I going to do?' she thought. Hitomi jerked her head up. Jin was starting to speak again.
"I have more force on my side than what you think Wanda." She said. The unicorn dissapeared. Wanda scowled a little bit.
"That's a lie."
"Do you know About it already?" She asked.
"I don't need to know about it!" She demanded. Jin shrugged.
"Than what about my little sister?" She asked. Wanda brought her head up a little bit to look Jin in the eye.
"You HAVE no sister! You were an only child!" She said. Stating the fact. Jin nodded her head, agreeing with her.
"But don't you remember? My half sister?" She asked. "The one who our grandmother made it that way?" Wanda growled under her breath a little bit before regaining her posture.
"What does she have to do with this." Everyone around could see that Jin was enjoying this very much.
"Wanda, are you really that clueless?" Jin said in a sarcastic tone. Wanda slapped her face hard.
"Shut up Juareo Hateo, Shut up Jin, She up Phantom woman, shut up VIRGINIA!" She screamed the last part. That was when the night started to settle in…

The little girl was sitting in her bed biting her lips slightly and bringing the covers up to her chin. Though eleven years old, she still got scared easily. Her older brother, who was holding the book grinned.
"To scary sis, I'll just finish it here…" he said starting to close the book. His sister whacked him on the head. "Ow! What was that for!"
"I want to hear the rest!"
"Your scared!"
"Am not!"
"Am too!"
"Am not!"
"Am too!"
"Both of you just be quiet!" The middle child, another girl around thirteen said. The boy was older than her. "I want to go to sleep! Now, Reta, you know how easily you get nightmares, Will, mom told you to stop reading her false stories!"
"But this is true! I'm telling her how things came to be on Gaea!"
"And we live on Hersa! NOT Gaea though we do go there from time to time!" Will was getting annoyed.
"This is FACT little sister, if you close your mouth and listen for a few minutes you might find that out Kell!" He said. Kell sighed in defeat.
"Fine." She mumbled, she sat by Reta who told her what had happened so far in the tale…
