In Meridian' castle, things were silent. The once noisy hallways were quiet, with the occasional servant, walking silently to where they were going. A Royal Announcment made to the servants of the castle, to keep all sound to a minimum - they didn't know why, yet they followed. None knew the truth, that both of their rulers - Elyon and Mia, were bed-ridden.

In Elyon' room, the group was gathered. Elyon and Mia both unconscious from their battle with Havicus, Angelo and Miranda watching over them. Most of the Guardians, and some of the Battle Warrior asleep around them aswell, to regain their strength in a soon-to-be battle with Havicus. Along with a truce made, to but aside their minor differences until Havicus' defeat.

The only people awake were: Angelo and Miranda, who kept watch over the two. Along with Will, Matt, Caleb, Cassidy, Cornelia and Martin, who were discussing future plans.

"How about cutting his army in half?" asked Cassidy, throwing in ideas.

"That wouldn't work much, since we'll be cutting ourselves in half aswell," relied Caleb.

"Hit-and-run tactics, from city to city?" asked Will, revealing her idea.

"It could work...IF we're fighting against a regular army," sighed Caleb. "Havicus could revive his fallen."

"So that's it! We're...screwd..." said Cornelia, in a sadder tone.

"Not quite...there MUST be weakness to Havicus' army!" said Matt, trying to cheer-up Cornelia. "What if we got aid from the other cities?"

"Bad idea. Havicus would easily annihilate the cities armies, and grow his stronger," replied Caleb. "Add to the fact, that most of the people of Felan are scared of Havicus. A frontal assault would be, a huge morale defeat."

"Not quite..." said Martin, eyeing the map of Felan.

"What do you mean?" asked Caleb.

"I got an idea, from all of yours combined. All right listen..." said Martin, readying his idea. "How about we draw Havicus' army into every city, on the planet. And we cut down his army, by booby-trapping the cities with magic? We could easily, nip-out half his army. As Mia had mentioned earlier that Havicus had to run out of cannon fodder, sooner or later. If we lace the traps, with the right amount of magic, we could easily prevent him from reviving his army."

"But what about the other half of the army? We'll run out of cities, eventually," added Cornelia. "And what about the people there?"

"I thought about that. We evacuate everybody to Baskosh, the largest and strongest city-state, and make a stand against Havicus' army there. We'll have the armies of other cities there aswell. So we have chance to keep Havicus busy, so he can't replenish his army," finished Martin.

"A risky plan," said Caleb, but soon smiled. "Yet it might work. And it might be the only one we have."

"Good. Now we have to wait for Mia and Elyon, before we could do anything," said Will, raising from their table. "Any food here?"

"I'll ask some of the servants, to bring all of us some. We're going to need it," replied Caleb.

Elyon woke up to a dark place, everything around her was blackness. The only thing that shone was her body, and Mia' standing nearby.

"Mia?! You're alright!" said Elyon, running over to her sister, and crashing into a hug.

"I am...what happened?" asks Mia, looking around aswell. "Am I dead? Are you?"

"Nono. We're both alright, just unconscious. I used half of my energy to revive you..." said Elyon, breaking the hug.

"That much?! Elyon.." said Mia. Kneeling a little, to Elyon' height, so their eyes met. "..you could've died, if you overexcerted yourself..."

"...and you could've died, saving Will..." replied Elyon, in-kind.

"Taking down Havicus was important...you heard the Oracle..." said Mia, a little sad.

"And you're important to me," replied Elyon, sitting them down. "Mia were family. I've only known you for three and a half months, but that has been the happiest of my life. We both have been under Phobos' menace, we both survived and we were reunited again. I know I have my friends, and my adoptive parents...but I lack a true family. I had accepted that, but then you came..."

"I ACTUALLY had a family member, that wasn't gone or trying to kill me," spoke Elyon, a few tears of joy, glinting in her eyes. "Your magic was a shadowy one, yet you didn't try to do anything to me. I finally had a sister, somebody I could rely-on. And don't even think for a sec, that as the little one now, that I wouldn't watch your back."

"...I...thanks...Ely.." replied Mia, as they hugged. "I'll watch my back...and yours too."

"Okay..." said Elyon, rising up and drying her tears. "Where are we anyway?"

"I don't know..." said Mia, looking about, then thinking. "...you poured some of your energy to me..?"

"Yes!" replied Elyon.

"It might be a theory...but I think, this might be our bond, a sister-sister bond...you know, what people speak about? Like a mother-daughter bond," said Mia, raising her idea.

"Could it be...?" asked Elyon, looking around. "I felt a sharp pain, near my heart when you fell...and we are a few distance away from eachother...if the others placed us apart...but I guess so."

"Could we use this to...wake up?" asked Mia, thinking on the subject. "...and could we use this, to communicate with eachother now?"

"Maybe...but let's try on, waking up first," said Elyon, as she tried to will herself awake...nothing. "I got nothing."

"You were weakened, let me try," replied Mia, trying like Elyon...yet failing.

"You were weakened aswell," said Elyon, thinking a little. "How about we try together?"

"Alright. Let's try," replied Mia, as they held eachothers hands.

"...concentrate..." spoke Mia' voice.

"...focus..." spoke Elyon.

"...and...wake up..." they spoke in unison, as everything went white-bright.

"Ohhh..." moaned Elyon, opening her eyes. She felt drained but okay.

"Hey beautiful. Your awake!" said Angelo, giving Elyon a quick kiss.

"Mia?" asked Elyon, looking next to her.

"She's awake!" replied Miranda, helping the woken Mia, into a sitting position in the bed.

"How you feel?" asked Elyon.

"Heads hurting, muscles aching, stomach growling...I'm okay," replied Mia, rubbing her head, smiling.

"Thank goodness Elyon, your awake," said Cornelia, suddenly near the edge of the bed. "...we got food...and we got a plan.."

'Guess it's back to the fight,' said Elyon mentally to herself, giving Mia a quick clance.

'Guess so,' replied Mia mentally, giving Elyon a slight shock and a smile on her face.
