From atop my perch in the trees, I could clearly see the Castle Rosewood. Its high walls serving as a barrier to all trying to get inside but no wall could stop me I was one with the shadows, a warrior of the light and the need to fulfill my mission pulling at my heart. Now was the time to put it all into action, to set the wheel rolling which would forever change history. A small grin found its way to my face before I jumped onto the top of the wall with inhuman abilities. 'This will be way too easy' and with that I was gone.

Prince Endymione sat at the breakfast table with his mother, father, four generals and the royal court. But he was uneasy, something wasn't right.

"Endy, what's with you? You've been spacey all breakfast"

Endymione turned to his white haired general that sat beside him. "I don't know Malachite, but something's not right. Something important is going to happen and I don't know what it is."

Malachite looked quickly from his Prince to the other three generals who had overheard the short conversation. They had learned the hard way to trust when their Prince go these 'feelings'. "Let's go men" Immediately the four men rose from their seats and bowed curtly to their majesties before rushing out of the room.

King Endymione and Queen Terra looked at their son questionably before resuming their breakfast. If it was anything important they would know. But that didn't stop them from looking worriedly at their son who seemed to be in a world all his own, and that scared them.

Breakfast was almost over when suddenly the generals came running back into the room.

"MAJESTY!"

King Endymione jumped to his feet immediately along with the Queen and Prince.

"What is it Malachite?"

Malachite took a few moments so that he could catch his breath before he spoke. "We were in the Entrance Hall when suddenly someone came running through the main doors. As we tried to stop him, he suddenly jumped towards the tapestry of the Queen hanging on the wall and slashed at it before running out the door and disappearing. Now there is a large gash across the throat."

The room was dead silent the only sound that of the general's laboured breathing. Queen Terra was deathly pale as her husband wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to him, his face hard as steel as he looked upon his son, the generals and then to his wife.

Just as suddenly as the news made everyone silent, the room suddenly broke out into worried and scared conversation.

"Silence" The King's loud voice reverberated around the room as the court turned to him.

"None of this is to leave the castle you hear me. Now precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of my Queen. Generals I want you to go and spread the news to the rest of the household and tell the men. I want you to place them at entrances and exits into and out of the castle. I also want them at regular intervals across the grounds. Is that understood?"

The four generals bowed. "Yes sire" and with that they turned and were gone.

King Endymione turned to his son who now stood by the door, his face pale. "Endy, I want you to bring the Generals with you to our room after everyone has been informed."

Endy turned to his father, bowing his head slightly. "Of course father." And then he too was gone.

King Endymione then escorted his wife out of the room, his arm firmly around her shoulders as he led them to their room.
