Hey, guys just wanted to thank you again for everything and tell you that I probably won't post a chapter next Tuesday.

'Cause I'm going to fly to Greece with my family...hehe, Greece ;D

The Resistance Base (Boreas POV)

It has been three weeks since Menelaus took over the empire and he surely didn't waste any time. His first strike was against the poor, he said they didn't contribute to his empire and that he would put them into good use.

We have gained small victories but Menelaus forces is many more in numbers and they have better equipment. We have spread out our soldiers to other parts of our country, so we can help people on a larger scale. But this means that we are small in numbers.

But Mikolas says that our duty is to protect the people first. Then when we have enough men we will form an attack on the capital. But the situation isn't likely right now.

Mikolas has command over a small unit of men, their task is to get attention from our enemies and do as much damage as possible. They have the task that has the highest risks. Buk, Jencir, Secundus (seaspray), and Pollius (pyro) are members of that group. They call themself the Wreckers.

Then we have the stealth team a group whose main purpose is to be as discreet, quiet, and fast as possible. The opposite of the Wreckers really. Those who are in the group are Aria, Samitos, and me Boreas. We are very few in our group.

But Aria is also a member of a group with just girls. Like Eileen and the rest of Arias friends. Samitos is a member of the elite guards' group as well, and I...

Well, let just say that I'm the one who is scouting for enemies and has private lessons with Orpheus which really surprised me.

But I'm happy even though we are on the run and a tyrant is currently sitting on the throne...and the fact that I still don't have my voice back. But I think it's better. Rachal has tried all kinds of different things and I'm able to form noises now.

But the REAL reason why I'm happy is that I have Mikolas' blessing! We don't have to keep our love a secret anymore. We still haven't planned a wedding 'cause we have a civil war going on right now.

"Boreas suit up!" Mikolas comes forward with a mission for the stealth team. "We have seen that Menelaus forces are on their way to a village outside the capital." Samitos stands there with a confused facial expression.

"Eeh, Sir? Why can't our soldiers in that area deal with it?" Aria rolls her eyes and I snicker, after all these years Samitos still questions Mikolas' orders. "Soldier our messenger has given us a message that they have to be elsewhere." Samitos nods and we take our light armors on. (So they won't make so much noise and still be protected)

The Village (still Boreas POV)

We approach Menelaus forces we have cover from the bushes so they don't see us. Our mission is to rescue as many people as possible from Menelaus' evil clutches. Aria and I watch and analyze the guards. They are only fine, we can take them.

Aria makes hand signals that say: We split up and surround them. I nod and look at Samitos who gives a thumbs up. Aria goes to the right, Samitos goes to the left and I jump right out in the middle. The soldiers stand with their backs turned against us and face their prisoners.

I put my finger over my mouth as a boy makes eye contact with me. The soldiers didn't notice us until it was too late! But we still have two of their friends left. Aria runs up to one of them and put her legs around his neck and twist him so he falls. I drop my dagger and stand in combat position, he delivers the first punches and I dodge them.

I quickly follow up with a hard punch at his head. He still didn't give up and continue to trie to punch me, but I dodge them as well and give him a final push at his ribs. "Good job ladies and gentleman", says Samitos and put his hands together.

I take the key from one of the soldiers and lock up the cages. Everyone there seems afraid and they hold their families tight. "You have nothing to fear! We are here to help you, come with us if you want a safe place to hide until everything is solved!" Almost everyone wants to come with us but a few men want to defend their village. No matter the cost.

We ask everyone to split into groups so we can start walking. It took some time but we are ready to go. The boy I saw earlier runs up to me and hugs me but quickly stops. "Thank you!" I smile and ruffle his reddish-brown hair. "My name is Rafael by the way", he heads back to his family.

Aria smiles at me and the boy. "Seems like you got yourself an admirer." I nod at her with a questioning face that says; you? She shrugs. "I don't know. There was this young man with dark hair who just where grateful for saving his and his mother's life. I think his name was Jackson?" (Jack)

Residence Base

I can't believe Buk was sent on a mission to and he said a girl took an interest in him and the Wreckers. I guess we are good role models. Suddenly we hear struggling at the entrance. Aria and I walk over there, curious as to what it could be. We make our way there holding hands, and then we recognize a familiar voice.

Kyros!

"Don't touch me you brutes! This is expensive clothing!" He is blindfolded and his lead to Orpheus tent. Mikolas is on his way there and wants us with him. Aria and I change glances but make our way there as well.

Kyros sits on his knees and all the leaders of the camp are here. Mikolas takes his blindfold away so he can see. Aria looks at him with a face of disgust. But I see conflict in his eyes and so does Orpheus. "Soldiers, how did you capture him?"

"Well, he was alone in the forest and didn't really put up with much of a fight." Mikolas believes that that is way too easy. He snorts. "So you came here willingly. What do you want? To discuss our surrender!" Orpheus raises his hand when Mikolas rose his voice.

"Let the boy speak."

Kyros look at the floor still looking like he is fighting a war inside. "I really don't believe you will win this but..."

He makes eye contact with me and moves it all the way across the room. "I want to join the rebellion."

What!? Knock out switch sides or is it just a setup? He was the one who said he wants to be on the winning team and Megatron has the higher ground...

Ahaha get it! Ok...ok...I'll stop now :(
