The girls and Caleb had been running through the swamps for over 2 hours. The girls had learnt that the reason that no one knew this location was because no one ever ventured out of the kingdom of Šafirkhan (Place with scary looking castle)because it was safer to stay in Šafirkhan and have horrible lives because of the man that was king the same man who killed Will's birth parents 'Drake' than venture out into the waist lands and be killed by the monsters that lived there. Caleb said that they had been lucky so far because they hadn't run into any creatures.

"Caleb where are we going you still havnt told us" Will said as she jumped over a dead fallen down tree.

"To Rustak its where the Rebel hide out is" Caleb said

"You said that most people probably wont welcome us with open arms why we haven't done anything to them" Elyon said

"That's exactly it you guys haven't done anything for years we lived in fear we watched as our people were killed like animals, our people prayed that the Guardians would come and save us but our prayers went unanswered it isn't that it is your fault like you said you have only recently found out that you are the Guardians but I doubt our people are going to understand that, the people who stayed in Šafirkhan have given up hope. For the past 6 years I have been fighting I created the Rebellion and we are trying to do what you guys were meant to do" Caleb said the girls all felt bad they knew there was nothing that they could have done because of the spell that locked their powers away until they were 17 but they still all felt bad.

"We are sorry Caleb... we are here now and we aren't going to leave until Drake is defeated" Will said

"I hope that is true" Caleb said as they walked out onto a cliff side "We are here" looking down at the bottom of the cliff looked like a small village maybe a little bigger than Vardanzeh.

"Come on" Caleb said

After they got to the bottom of the cliff Caleb lead them into the village that was completely protected be the cliffs that hid it away. They girls were nervous they knew what Caleb saying about not getting a warm welcome would probably be true.

"Keep your cloaks on for now" Caleb said as they walked through the village that looked just as dark and dead as the rest of this world.

"Caleb" A voice called the girls turned to see a huge blue guy running towards them

"Vathek" Caleb said as the blue guy stopped running at looked down at Caleb

"Your back what took you so long" Vathek asked but then he spotted the girls

"And who are you guys" Vathek asked bending down so he could see under their hoods. "Girls?"

"Guardians of Kandrakar" Will said and then put her index finger up to her lips and nodded her head Vathek looked at them with a shocked face but then it turned from confused to happy.

"Of cause" Vathek said and then turned to Caleb "What are we going to tell the rest of the Rebels?"

"The Truth" Caleb said "Come on"

They were standing in the village square but the village square of Rustak was allot different to the one of Vardanzeh this one wasn't full of life and laughter but it was full of darkness just like every other bit of this world. Caleb was standing in front of a crowd of around 60 people humans and creatures alike. The girls were standing behind him still wearing their cloaks.

"Everyone" Caleb called to get everyone to be quiet. As soon as they heard his voice everything went quiet

'They really listen to him' Will thought

"My people we have lived in fear for the past 17 years but now we are finally there is hope... The Guardians of Kandrakar have came to save this world... to save us" Caleb yelled the girls then stepped forward in front of Caleb and removed their cloaks and they fell to the ground. Silence hung in the air but slowly people started to whisper and point. Until one man stepped forward he was wearing armor and looked like a warrior he had scar's all over his face and what looked like a few burns.

"Why now after all this time why now do you show your faces" He spat at the girls Will looked at the others and saw their angry faces glaring at the man.

"I got this" Will assured them and then stepped forward

"Rebels I am the Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar and I know that you are angry but not until a short while ago did I and my fellow Guardians learn who we really were. Our powers had been locked away as you all should know and they didn't unlock until we all turned 17 years old but now our powers have been unlocked and we have trained in Kandrakar under the Oracles teaching and we are ready to help you all save this world... We are sorry that we were unable to come sooner" Will said in a loud voice.

"And who said we want your help" The same man spat back

"I DO" Caleb yelled walking up to Will and standing beside her as soon as the man saw Caleb he started to back away a few steps.

"You all know that we need the Guardians we need their help more now than ever, Drake must be stopped and these are the girls that were chosen at birth to do so we all know the story and we all know who one of these girls are do not tell me you have forgotten that the princess of Avarzāna is the keeper of the heart you all know the story do not pretend you have forgotten show some respect" Caleb yelled "Will here is the princess of Avarzāna and she has more reason than any of us to want to stop Drake"

"Princess..." The man whispered dropping to his knees and bowing his head everyone else followed his lead. Will looked on in shock

"Rebels please you don't have to do that" Will called making them all raise their head in shock "Yes I might be Princess of Avarzāna by birth but that doesn't mean I have earned the right to be called the princess of you world for now I am just the Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar and a Guardian I will only earn the title of your princess when this world is saved and even then it is up to the people of Avarzāna to say if they want me as your princess then and only then" Will said "So please stand because it should be us who are kneeling at your feet because you are the ones who have fought for freedom when we were not anywhere to be seen" Will said and then dropped to her knees and bowed the other girls did the same as the Rebels stood up and watched as the Guardians who were higher ranked than anyone there knelt and bowed for them.

"We swear we will save this world if its the last thing we do" Will said as Caleb stepped towards her and helped her up while whispering something in her ear.

"You did good that just there proves in my eyes who you really are... Princess" Will's eyes went slightly wider than usual as Caleb whispered this in her ear she could feel his hot breath on her skin and she blushed at his touch. And when he let go and walked over to Vathek she felt like a bit of her heart was ripped out.

'What's happening to me' Will thought looking at him as he walked away.

-------Time skip-------

It had been 3 days since the girls had arrived at Rustak ever since then the girls had been learning about the monsters and dangers in Avarzāna. Caleb didn't want them to go out of Rustak because no matter how strong the girls were it didn't mean that one of the many monsters in the waist lands wouldn't be able to hurt them. The girls had figured out how to change back to their human forms and how to change back into their Guardian form but for the past 2 days they have just stayed in their human forms.

"Caleb come on we didn't come here to read books we came here to fight" Will said in a frustrated voice as she slammed a dusty old looking book closed and stood up from the wooden table.

"Will you can't go out into the waist lands without knowing these things" Caleb said from where he was leaning on the wall near the table.

"Why its not like I can't protect myself" Will said walking over to him. Now all the girls had looked up from what they were doing and were watching the two.

"Caleb it's been 3 day's and I still haven't kicked any bad guy ass yet" Will said

"Will we think Caleb's right I mean we don't know much about this world so we should learnt before we dive head first into the fight" Taranee said

"Do you all agree with this" Will asked turning around to face the girls and her face turned from frustrated to hurt as she saw all the girls nod their heads.

"Come on Will" Caleb said placing his hands on her shoulders but she jerked away.

"Whatever... do what you want I'm going to go do something productive" Will said storming out of the door and out into the street.

"Just give her a bit to cool down" Hay Lin said

"Yea she knows not to do anything stupid so just let her go" Cornelia said

It was getting dark when the girls walked out the front door to the small house they were staying in. Before they had even walked 10 meters Caleb and Vathek came running up to them.

"Is Will with you" Caleb asked slightly out of breathe

"No why?" Elyon asked

"She's not in the village" Vathek answered making all the girls gasp

"No she wouldn't of gone out into the waist lands she isn't stupid enough to do that" Irma said

"We have to go look for her" Hay Lin said

"No" Caleb said suddenly

"What why?" Cornelia asked with a angry tone

"Because without Will and the heart you can't transform meaning your powers are way to weak to go out into the waist lands" Caleb said

"No we are going weather you want us to or not we will not leave our leader out there alone" Taranee said

"If she is hurt her blood is on your hands... again" Cornelia said glaring at him

---------

"Stupid Caleb and his stupid rules he is so not the boss of me" Will mumbled she was in her Guardian form and she was flying just a little bit off the ground so she wouldn't leave footprints for her so called friends to follow and not to high that she would be seen from above.

---------

"The footprints end here she must of transformed" Caleb said looking around for any sign of which direction she went in.

"So your saying you cant track her anymore" Taranee asked

"Yea but there might be another way... Hay Lin could you use your power over air to find where she is" Caleb asked with hope but it was shattered when Hay Lin shock her head

"I need to be in my Guardian form my powers are to weak in this form" Hay Lin said Caleb looked down at the ground at Will's footprints and then looked over at Vathek

"Caleb if your thinking of doing what I think your thinking of doing don't you dare you know what will happen do you remember last time you almost died" Vathek yelled at him

"We need to find her and without the girls at full power this is the only other option you know it" Caleb said taking his sword off his back and holding it at the handle with both hands with the sharp end pointing towards the ground.

"Caleb don't" Vathek yelled trying to grab him but it was to late. Caleb raised the sword and suddenly his hands started to glow red. The girls gasped as he slammed the sword into the ground and the red glow shot through his hands and into the sword and when the sword made contact with the ground the red glow exploded and shot out all around them. Caleb let out a grunt of pain and fell forward his eyes rolled back into his head and he fell tot he ground. His sword however lifted itself out of the ground with no help at all and started to point in a random direction. Vathek quickly moved over to Caleb and rolled him over

"Caleb don't do it come on don't you know what will happen" Vathek said shaking him but it was to late. Caleb's body started to disappear and soon there was nothing where Caleb's body was seconds ago.

"That idiot" vathek said standing up and looking over at the sword.

"What just happened" Irma asked

"I'll explain on the way come on" Vathek said as he started to run in the direction the sword was pointing in. To the girls surprise the sword moved in front of Vathek turning sometimes pointing in different directions and going faster when Vathek ran quicker.

---------

Will didn't know how she got into this mess but she knew it wasn't a dream because the pain was very real. She had stopped flying and landed for a rest trying to clear he mind and calm herself down then the next thing she remembered was something came out of the swamp and slammed her into a tree. When she got back up she came faced to face with 20 or more creatures that had came out of the swamp. They had long legs and a hunched over back they were so skinny you could see the outline of their rib cage, they had broad shoulders and long arms. They had claws and their teeth were long and pointy, running from the top of their heads to the bottom of their backs were long sharp spikes. They had slime from the swamp running all down them and they looked angry.

Will had resorted to magic now but every time she used a burst of her energy that would usually destroy anything it didn't they just kept getting up. And seemed stronger than the last time.

She had been fighting for god knows how long her Guardian outfit was ripped and torn bits were covered in blood and other bits had slim dripping off it. Bits of her wings were broken and sticking out at odd angles she was a complete mess.

Will was hurling through the air she would of tried to stop herself but her wings weren't working properly and it would hurt more to use them than it would if she slammed into another tree. And that's exactly what happened she slammed into a huge tree trunk and started to fall towards the ground just as she hit it she was blinded by a red light. Using the little strength she had she raised her head just enough to see what looked like Caleb but he looked different than normal. He was wearing light gold/brown long pants and a dark brown sleeveless tight shirt. He had a silvery grey vest on that had short sleeves that stuck out around his shoulders, the vest had a gold outline and it had a collar that was sticking up around his neck. Hanging around his neck and hanging over his right shoulder was a cape thing that was the same colour as his pants. He had a sword in his hand but it didn't look like his usual one this one looked like it was made for royalty. The handle was made out of silver that was curved around and around and at the top their was a crystal. The blade looked like it was made out of some sort of metal that she had never seen before the whole thing was glowing red.

---------

"So you going to explain what just happened" Cornelia said as they ran through the swamp.

"Caleb isn't like everyone else here in Avarzāna... when he was 12 years old and still living in Šafirkhan with his father Drake was looking for someone to make them into his ultimate weapon he picked Caleb. Caleb can't remember what happened but when he woke up he had lost 6 months of his memory but he also woke up with something else that made up for the memory loss. He knew how to fight and he was the strongest warrior in Avarzāna but he wasn't fully human anymore Drake had done something to him that not only made him extremely strong but also gave him powers they are similar the powers you girls hold but his isn't an element it is just pure magic that has ran through his veins from that moment. Drake made him use his new powers for evil making sure no one rebelled against his rule. You see Drake was always scared that there would be a rebellion that might cause problems for him but he never thought the leader of the rebellion would be the one person he made to stop it from happening. When Caleb turned 13 years old a man was brought into the palace because there had been word that he had been planning on creating a rebellion because Drake had taken the one thing that he would give his own life for. It was Caleb's father. Drake ordered Caleb to kill him and because Caleb was under Drakes spell he almost did it as well. I was a guard in the palace at this time and I saw the whole thing I though Caleb was going to do it as well but just as he was about to I saw something in his eyes it was the same look that Caleb used to have in his eyes before Drake turned him into his ultimate weapon that look proved that Caleb wasn't just a weapon that he was still human. I helped Caleb and his father escape Caleb's father stayed in Šafirkhan he didn't care about the risk he stayed to keep the people safe. Caleb and I left and soon we created a rebellion Caleb was named the leader from the very beginning and for the past 6 years we have been fighting but I still don't think that Caleb has forgiven himself for what he almost did" Vathek explained

"That's horrible what they did to him" Taranee said

"Ok can you please explain why you didn't want Caleb to do whatever it was he just did" Hay Lin asked

"Well it's kind of hard to explain... Caleb stopped using his magic a year after he created the rebellion he didn't want to use it because it reminded him of all the bad things he had done with it. He hasn't used it for 5 years and because of that its like a drug the last time he used it he almost died because he used it and because he hadn't used it in so long his body became addicted again and after he used it the once he refused to use it again so so much of the magic started to build up until he couldn't take it anymore and he lost control I got him out far enough away from the old Rebel hide out before he exploded from all the energy. Ever wonder how that huge crater where Rustak is was made. Well that was the result of what happened. We moved the rebel hide out there because it was a place no one except those of the rebellion knew about." Vathek said

---------

Will watched from where she was laying on the ground as the person who looked like Caleb destroyed all the monsters in a single slice of his sword. She was shocked at how strong this Caleb look alike was. But she was even more shocked as he cut down the last creature and then turned and ran towards her. Using the last of her strength she sat up on her butt and started to move backwards until she hit the tree she had been slammed into earlier and was forced to sit there and watch as the Caleb look alike ran to her. But then he suddenly dropped the sword that had blood dripping from its blade on the ground and then dropped to his knees in front of her.

"Caleb" Will whispered the guy smiled and nodded his head and then in a flash of red light Caleb was kneeling in front of her wearing the same clothes as he had been when she had left Rustak that morning.

"CALEB WILL" Will looked over past Caleb to see the girls and Vathek running towards them Vathek was holding Caleb's sword.

"I'm sorry" Will whispered and then passed out and fell to the side and landed on the ground.

"Will" Elyon whispered as they knelt down next to Caleb.

"Caleb" Vathek whispered as he saw Caleb was in pain.

"I'm fine Vathek" Caleb said

"What happened to her" Taranee asked as the girls looked at the state Will was in.

"She must of stopped to rest or some think because what attacked her cant fly but Will stood no chance against them by herself they are probably the most dangerous creatures in these swamps... She was fighting around 25 Ableben's on her own" Caleb said more to Vathek than the girls.

"Ableben's?" Hay Lin asked looking at Caleb and Vathek

"The word Ableben means death. The creatures Ableben's are dead and they feed off magic that's why Will couldn't beat them" Vathek said

"Will" Cornelia whispered as she looked her over

"I don't think I can heal all this" Cornelia said "We need the heart"

"Look the heart is already healing her" Irma said as her body started to glow hot pink and her outfit and her wings were repaired and all her cuts and bruises healed.

---------

It had been 5 days since the group brought back Will she was still out cold when they brought her back a day later she woke up but she was avoiding everyone training longer and harder she would go out into the swamps even though Caleb was getting angry with her for doing so and ended up saying something that really hurt her. The words rang in her head whenever she went out to find something to destroy to become stronger.

'If you go out there again and don't come back don't expect me to come out looking for you again... Your more trouble than your worth'

As the days went on Will would come back with less and less cuts and bruises she was getting stronger she knew how to fight the creatures of Avarzāna now nothing not even the Ableben's could beat her now.

"Caleb you have to stop this if you don't start using your powers again than you are going to kill yourself I see the way you try and hide that its slowly killing you on the inside stop being so stubborn you are 10 times stronger with your magic so just use it because if you don't soon than you are going to kill yourself from the pain and stress of trying to keep it in" Vathek whispered to Caleb so no one would hear "These people need you and your going to commit suicide because your to stubborn to face the facts about who you are... what you are" Caleb just looked at him with an angry glar and pushed past him and stormed off.

"He still isnt listening is he" Irma said as she walked over after seeing Caleb storm away

"No" Vathek said simply

What they didn't know was Will had heard the full thing she was sitting on the roof of the house that Caleb and Vathek had been talking under.

"It's my fault Caleb's in pain" Will whispered this cut her deeper than what he had said to her a few days ago. She knew that it was because she was stubborn and wanted to destroy Drake as fast as she could she didn't think about anyone else she just wanted revenge and that had clouded her judgement about what her world really needed. To be saved.

"Caleb" Will yelled as she jumped off the roof and ran after him he was now in the town square and he was still walking towards the village's edge but stopped when he heard Will call after him.

"Will" Caleb asked looking down at her as she ran up to him and stopped only inches away. They were standing in the dead center of the village square and it had started to rain.

"I'm sorry" Will whispered "Its my fault I just wanted revenge on Drake and I wasn't thinking of how it might effect others I'm meant to be the princess of this world and if I ever want to earn that title than I have to start acting like one I have to save the world"

"Will your not alone in this" Caleb whispered down to her

"I'm sorry that I made you use your powers and I'm sorry that your in pain now but I think I can fix it if you let me" Will whispered looking down at the ground and only just loud enough for him to hear.

"How" Caleb asked Will looked up from the ground Caleb saw a sparkle in her eye's that he had never seen before. The girls had walked in to the village square along with basically everyone else. The girls also saw the sparkle back and all thought the same thing. They had the old Will back the Will that they met in Vardanzeh.

Will started to move forward closing the space between them she hesitated than placed her hands on his chest Caleb caught on and moved his arms to her shoulders and bent his head down to hers. Will mover her hands up and rapped her arms around his neck and pulled him even closer so their noses were touching Caleb moved his arms and rapped them around her waist and pulled her body so it molded into his perfectly. Caleb smirked and then crashed his lips down onto hers. After a few seconds than seemed to stretch on for hours Will's lips started to glow hot pink like her body or eyes did when she was using her magic. She moved her hands up into his hair and started to play with the wet locks. Will deepened the kiss her lips were still glowing and it was like she was trying to make Caleb do something. And soon after Caleb gave in his lips started to glow red and as soon as Will felt this happen both of the glows moved away from their lips and consumed their bodies. The kiss lasted for what seemed to be hours but after awhile they both pulled away for air.

"Now you can use your powers and remember something good for a change" Will whispered as they stared into earch others eyes.

Sorry it took me so long to update but I have been busy sorry
