Chapter 6:

Samantha's POV

I entered the council room and conjured a chair but it soon disappeared as I conjured it, I frowned and turned to the council, they smiled and pointed to the throne chair, I blushed. I remember sitting on that a few years ago. I walked up and sat down on it.

I asked, "Where's Sophie?" Silence… I sighed and shook my head, "Mom, can you bring Sophie here? I need her here."

She nodded, "Alright then," And teleported to get Sophie.

I sighed and looked at the members, "Alright, I know that I've been gone for a while, but still, I had to go."

"And why was that?" My mentor Fabia asked a bit sad at the memory.

I hesitated before answering, "I knew this day would come, so I've been preparing, training and meditating for this, I spied on the dragon coven for months and figured out two things."

Jasper spoke up, "What?"

"One is that they don't want to rule this coven." I shivered at that and my face darkened, "They want it to crumble and destroyed, they don't want any witch or warlock to surpass them, and guess what one way can that only happen?"

They all looked shocked and their shoulders were slacked, their eyes were widened with fear until I slammed the table with my hand, "However, I plan on not to make that happen."

"My queen, what is the second info?" Vincent asked.

I sighed and looked at him in the eye with great remorse, "We have a spy."

They all looked down, who would be a spy? I sighed, "We have no choice, we have to plan ahead with the spy in there, if not we will be at each other's throats." I stated sadly. "Now, we need all the children to be evacuated, is that done?"

They nodded and I continued, "Now, we need the knights split into different groups."

"Groups?" Amelia asked in disbelief, "Why?"

I replied, "The plan won't work well, if a long rang user is at close range, we would have the disadvantage." I winced, "How many knights are there?" I asked.

"About over 5000,"

I gulped and turned to Amelia, "Amelia, I need the ten leaders of the knights to be here pronto." She nodded and left.

I turned to Fabia, "Fabia, I need you to secure the people's houses and make sure they know what's going on, I'm sure you have some safe houses or something don't you?" She nodded and I sighed, "Good, it's better they know what to do and defend themselves than fight blindly."

"Vincent." I stated as he looked at me, "I need you to do some spells to help in battle while also prepare potions to aid everyone, healing potions and all."

"Jasper, I need you to put some defence barriers around the safe houses as well as for battle, I need you to make some sort of bracelet with a shield when needed." I ordered and he left. I sighed and leaned back.

"My queen, the knights are here." I nodded and turned towards them, "Aright then, you are the knights right?" They nodded, I sighed and said, "Arianna, I need you to fill them in on what happened and I need you to tell them what to do." She nodded and quickly ran to them. "I need you back here in twenty minutes."

"Where's Sophie?" I asked.

"Here sis," She grinned and I smiled.

"You did a fine job, but I need you to do me a favour, I want you to go to Fabia and give her this, it's important okay." I stated and she nodded. I turned to mom who was smiling, "What?"

"You look like a real queen." She stated simply.

I blushed and shook my head, "Mom, I need you to help and see if any witches want to help or warlocks of age."

She nodded and quickly left. I turned to my friends and gestured for them to come over, they quickly came over and I sighed, "Boy it's been a long day, anyway." I paused, "I need us to come up with the strategies to give to them."

I pulled up a map, "This is the map of Cynthia, I told Jasper to put barriers around the gates but if it doesn't hold then we will have to fight." I pointed at the map, "I really don't want to fight and kill them but if we must, then we must."

"Alright, Arianna, where's Arianna?" I asked,

"Here." She ran towards us sweating, "I gave the knights the orders or splitting them, they said they would do it in five hours."

I sighed, "Alright, Arianna…" I looked at her sadly, "I know I'm going to regret this, but you're going to take 1000 knights who are close range here in the front." I pointed and she nodded, "But you are going to be further back to give Ronnie the single, which will be at the top with the long and mid-range users to say the fight has started, probably about 1050 knights."

I continued, "There will be about another 1000 knights who are close range to protect the mid-range and long range people from people with flying abilities. Reyna will be behind the gates to provide back-up for you guys, there will be about 500 knights. 450 knights will use their powers to sense the enemies if there invisible got it?" I looked at them, "I will be with them to help them as well."

"All the other knights will protect the citizens of Cynthia, as for the witches and warlocks who are of age who want to fight, will provide communication to pass to one another and spells and enchantments. The strategist's will be in the back in case a plan goes wrong." I stated. "My mom and Sophie are going to be there as well, if I die then we will need another person to rule."

"Whoa whoa whoa," Arianna cut in, "No-one said anything about dying,"

I smiled sadly, "It's a war Arianna…"

Will she die?
