"Please," I pleaded, "say something! Anything!"
The blonde three year old boy looked at me with a questioning look.
"Please," I forced a smile.
He closed his eyes and smiled back at me.
I chuckled under my breath, "You are so stubborn. Just like your mother." My heart dropped. It was still an unreal feeling not waking without her. Even though she was dead I still had a part of her in Mar. What amazed me the most was that she had been dead for three years and it's only felt like one.
It's so unreal.

"Erol," I snarled.
The seventeen year old looked at me with unsure eyes, "I thought it would work."
"He's smarter than that! I know Damas like the back of my hand! He would never fall for it."
"Then what do you suppose would work," he said through gritted teeth.
"I don't know, but I want on the thrown soon! We need to get moving with a plan."
Erol placed his hand on his chin, "What if we weaken one of the walls and get the metal heads to attack that section."
I processed this. If the metal heads attacked the city the blame for this would go to the king. They would want him off the thrown as soon as possible, and then the right hand man would be promoted.
My lips curled into an evil grin, "When can we get this started?"
----
"They shouldn't hurt you, but if the do we have guards to take them down," Erol whispered next to me.
We were having to go into the nest with eco to give payment to the metal heads. The plan was the pay them then they attack the city. It had taken a fare few months the get one section weak enough where the metal heads could break though without any hassle.
A loud buzzing sound came behind us. The guards mounted their guns and moved about to find out where the sound was erupting from.
I didn't have enough to even yell before the pain erupted in my head. A Wasp exploded out of the ground and latched onto the my right eye. I could feel the claws dig deep within my eye socket and grab onto the back. In milliseconds the thing rip the eye out completely and flew away.
My hand flew up to where my eye use to be. All I could feel was the blood spurting out and the empty darkness of my head. My mind went blank and my body became numb. I feel to the ground and everything went black.

I bounced Mar on my knee while he fiddled with a block. The block was extremely weird. It had a different symbol on each side. When I found it out in the Wasteland it was all mixed up. He had it almost solved.
I watched in amazement while he twist and turned the sides. It had taken him several days for him to get this far.
The doors burst open, "Sir," said a breathless voice.
I waved my hand, "In a minute."
"But, Sir!"
A light burst in the room. It was a blinding blue light. I attempted to cover Mar's eyes but he resisted and slid to the ground.
"The boy has much promise. Just as he showed before in the past. Now he has only a few more tests."
I blinked a few times before I saw what was speaking. It was a thin being that looked to be made of electricity.
Mar was fascinated by it.
The being turned it's head to me, "The Horequam's will be after him," he pointed an electric finger at Mar, "He will be the one to destroy them." Out of thin air a necklace appeared. "He must always wear this. This can open many doors that will lead him to his destiny."
I gasped, "Is that the symbol of the House of Mar?"
The being nodded, "You both will be coming into many hard ships. Know this: whatever happens, happens."
In a blink of an eye the being disappeared and the necklace feel to the floor. Mar scrambled to it and picked it up. He looked at with a wide smile on his face as if knowing what it was exactly, but for all I knew he might.
He ran over to me and held it up to me. I took and exammed it. He tugged on my pant leg and pointed to his throat. I slid it on gingerly.
"Sir," interrupted the voice.
I looked and was in shook to see Vegar, "Yes." He seemed to be in shock.
"Um," he shook his head, "Praxis was attached my metal heads, or horequams," he creased his brows.
I felt myself becoming cold, I looked down at Mar than back up at Vegar. "Watch him," I bent down and put my hand on Mar's shoulder, "I'll be back soon okay."
He nodded with a frown on his face.
