Chapter 12:(this already? dang) One sky, one hope

Jordan ran through the town. Knocking anyone and anything getting in his way. There was going to be nothing stopping him from saving Eva and Aya. He passed Stan and Koji who looked at him like he was crazy and Don Wei who was walking towards the girls tent. Jordan slowed down enough not to pass him completely but decided to just shake his head and go on. There was no time to stop, he had to get to King Edward and tell him what happened. The sooner he got there, the better his luck of saving Eva. But luck sadly was not on his side. A crowd was gathered around the Kings tent. Several of the woman crying and some children looking down at there feet. Jordan pushed his way through the crowd till he got to the entrance.
" Hault! You can not pass. This area is under investigation." A guard said sticking his arm out to stop Jordan.
" But I have to see the King its important." Jordan said, he pushed the arm away to be greated by a gresome site. Edward lying on the floor. Dried blood around the now dead king. Jordan backed away but was stopped by Rick.
" Come with me. We need to talk." He said pulling Jordan out. Jordan just broke down right then and there. He let every thing out. What he was going to ask Eva, what happened to the girls and now Edward.
" Sounds like you have it rough right now." Rick said looking away.
" Oh and your life is going so perfectly." Jordan yelled back.
" Tecnically yes. Me and Aroura are now 's gotten over what happened with Ennail and the princes." Rick said quietly. Jordan was shocked at what the ex-piolet had just said.
" Jordan we need to get to the generals and tell them about what happened."There was silence as they walked to the army tent. No conversation would stop it. Rick opened the tent flap and walked in, followed by Jordan. The generals where surprised to see them there but that soon faded after Jordan handed them the note.
" This is an outrage!" One shouted," We must take action now! All in favor raise your hands." 6 hands go up," All against raise your hands." 4 hands go up. Jordan was against the idea. He knew what happened when a war started. Rick on the other hand said yes because he was thinking of the best way to get the girls back.
" Then it is decided, tomarrow at dawn we strike at the enemys bases. Prepare all of the able men and willing women. We will protect everything that is dear to us." The general said. The others nodded and walked out of the tent, already asking and telling the people.
' Tomarrow.' Jordan thought. He walked out of the tent. Aikka needed to be informed of the cituation. He may not be pleased but that was a risk Jordan would take.

Misuru groaned as she sat up. She saw that her, Eva, and Aya were the only ones up. Mikuru was on the floor snoring lightly.
" Where are we now?" Misuru asked looking around. There was a door to a bathroom, a table with some chairs, candles and matches where on the table, a window, two sets of bunk beds, and some iron bars seperating them from a corridor.
" I have no clue. The last place we were at was back at the tent. And we were about to go to dinner." Eva said quietly. She was worried something wasnt right.
" Tanit." Aya said faintly." Tanit did this. We put on that perfume and now we are in this..this..place." She said gesturing to the room. No one said anything. The rumers were true, there was a traitor. He had been right there in plain site. Mikuru rolled over and sat up. Her eyes adjusting to the dimly lit room. She knew attomatically what had happened. It stayed like that for a bit. The darkness that was surrounding them, the silence slowly counting the minutes away, and the hopelessness that they all shared.
" Glad to see you are awake." They looked up to see a girl about 14 standing there." Master was getting worried about you four. He said that I should come and check on you." They stared at the girl. She had blue eyes, but they where filled with nothing. Her eyes looked like they had no hope to hold on to.
" Hello! You should pay attention to what I'm saying. Now I asked what you want to eat." Everyone looked at each other and nodded that it would be safe.
" Eggs and some fruit." Eva said.
" Thats it? I'll bring you some meat as well. Theres plenty to eat and Master doesnt like meat, so its okay for you to have it. And I can eat with you." The girl said." I almost forgot, my names Emily. But you can call me Emmie for short. I'll be back in a little bit with your dinner." Emily started walking down the corridor. But something caught Misuru's attention. Emily had started singing, but the song had the lines of the poem they had heard last night. It faded as soon as it had came. Misuru couldnt believe it. Emily was that little girl, but yet she wasnt. She was someone completely different.
" Misuru. Misuru!" Mikuru shouted."We need to make a plan on how to leave this place. Why dont you melt the bars?"
" What?!" Misuru said.
" You know with the ball of fire you can use." Mikuru said looking at her sister.
" You know I can only use that to see what people are doing." Misuru said as she demenstated. She focused on Emily who was in a kitchen cooking what would be their dinner." Now if I use it to try and melt the bars." She held the flame on the bar and nothing happened.
" Oh." Mikuru said quietly. Eva looked like there was no hope. But Aya was looking out at the night sky.
" Its beautiful. I wonder which of these stars is Earth and Nourasia." She said pointing to the stars one at a time. Everyone stared at her like she was crazy. Nothing bad ever hit her. It was like there was nothing that could stop her.
" I'm back!" Emily yelled as she balanced three trays on her arm. She pressed something on the wall and a small platform came out. She placed two of the trays on it and pressed the button again. Suddenly the tray was pushed through the wall.
" Go ahead and eat. I made it myself." Emily had said before bowing her head and started eating. Aya, Eva, Misuru and Mikuru soon followed after. Emily had wanted to know everything about them. She asked if they had any siblings and what they liked to do in their free time. Besides the fact that she was with this Master person she was a very kind and nice.
" What about you Emily?" Mikuru asked.
" Well I like to read and sing in my free time. I dont remember very much about my family. The only thing I remember is Master coming and saying that he would help me." Emily stopped as she picked up the platesfrom everyone. And sat back down on the floor.
" Who is your Master?" Misuru asked. She wanted to know more about him.
" Master is..well he..I dont know. He's just Master. He controls darkness and can minipulate peoples dreams. There is much he can do and what he cant. No one knows his name not even all I know of him. Sorry." They continued to talk a bit more before Emily got up and streched." I should get going preperations are being made and Master might need my help. One last thing, you wont be here for long. Just until tomarrow at midnight. Well goodnight." She left balancing the trays on one arm. Till toamrrow night at midnight. Then they would be free. They decided to go to sleep. But that would be hard to do for many reasons.
