Chapter 7: Meetings

At 6:50, Rose put the invisibility blanket over herself and headed to the meeting room. She stood very quietly against the wall, and waited.

The Huntsman walked into the room at exactly 7:00. The room went silent as the Huntsman walked to the table and set a projector on the table.

"You all know," He began. "that the twelve Aztec Skulls eliminate all magical creatures when brought together."

Everyone nodded. The villain continued.

"Next Friday is the last quarter moon. They say the last quarter of the moon represents a magical being's last breath. It only works at sundown. Throughout the week, we shall gather one of each magical creature, and bring them to Central Park when the time comes.

"The skulls must be placed in a circle four feet apart from each other. A spell will be cast, and within minutes, the poor, worthless creatures will die!"

Rose gasped inwardly as the Hunters laughed evilly.

"Any questions?" Asked the Huntsman. Someone raised their hand. "Yes?"

"Why do we need only one of each magical creature?"

"I'm glad you asked." Said the Huntsman. "All magical beings are interrelated to one another. With the spell, if one creature dies, so does the rest of its species!"

Not if I and my friends can help it! Rose thought angrily.

---------------

As soon as she got back to her quarters, Rose called LS and told him everything. That was perfect timing since the dragon council arranged a meeting with every dragon mater the next day.

---------------

Four hundred dragons from around the world arrived at the Council building. After Councilor Andam informed everyone of the plot, there was murmuring amongst the crowd.

"Silence!" Andam shouted. "We must put the whole magical community on high alert! Dragon Lao Shi and his pupil are formulating a plan. For now, we must remain cautious."

--------------------

Back in New York, Jake and his friends were brainstorming and planning.

"Wait, why don't we just destroy all of the skulls before the Huntsman has a chance to use them?" Leah asked.

"Because we can't let the Huntsman know we're onto him until it happens." Rose explained. "We have to just stop him right before he does it."

"Good point."

"I have some walkie-talkies we can use to talk to each other." Spud put in. "We are gonna have to split into three groups."

"Right on, Spud!" Exclaimed Jake. "Okay, the sun sets Friday at 5:48, right?"

"Right."

"The Huntsclan is probably going to hit Central Park by 5:30. So, we need to get there by then to scout out the security. Three minutes before the Huntsman casts the spell…that is when we strike!"
