Hi there everyone! I'm back with another chapter! I hope you guys like it! I realize that I didn't do very well on introducing Tate or Indigo for that matter so there will be a clearer introduction in this chapter. After the chapter, if you are still confused then I have their descriptions and such on my profile at the very bottom. Also,please read the authors note at the bottom! It's important!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the OCs Tate and Indigo.

Brady POV

I slowly woke up, the events of the day before rushing through my mind. I then remember that Indigo had said we were going to talk to the Elders today. Right as I thought this, the door of my room flew open and Indigo burst in. I immediately hopped to my feet and grabbed my machete, standing in a defense position. "King Brady, you must hide quickly! Your brothers and the Makoolas are here!" Indigo exclaimed. I froze for a second before I ran into the bathroom and changed into my guard uniform, along with my hood. I briskly walked out of the bathroom and over to Indigo, said girl quickly pulling me out of the room and to the forest. Once we were in the forest and were hiding, I turned to Indigo.

"Why are they here on Lanada?" I hissed quietly, slight fear and curiosity running through me. "We aren't sure. All we know is that they just showed up this morning asking to see Lanny. I was sitting next to Lanny when they came and that's when I left to find you." Indigo replied, glancing around with every word she said. Suddenly, a twig snapped and we both whirled around to see who was there. "Freeze."

Indigo POV (A first!)

I whirled around along with King Brady to find one of his guards standing there. He seemed young, maybe sixteen or seventeen, and had straight brown hair that was a little shorter than King Brady's. His skin was a tan white and he had bright blue eyes. He looked slightly scared but I could tell he was trying to hide it. "Tate, it's me. Stand down." King Brady commanded. "Oh! Mitchel, sir! I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry sir." Tate apologized, lowering his sword. King Brady chuckled softly. "That's alright Tate. You did your job. A tip though would be to watch out for any fallen branches or you might not be able to sneak up on the enemy." Tate nodded eagerly. I could tell he was excited to learn. "Yes sir!" He exclaimed before he noticed me. He walked over to me before sticking out his hand.

"Hello there. I'm Tate, one of Lanada's guards." He introduced himself. I smiled. "My name is Indigo. I'm just here visiting Mitchel." I responded. Tate smiled. "Well then, it's nice to meet you Indigo!" He chirped before turning to King Brady. "Sir, would you like me to continue my patrol?" Brady nodded. "Sure thing Tate. I'll join you. No one should be patrolling by themselves." Tate smiled again. Brady turned to me. "Please tell Lanny that if he needs me I'll be patrolling with Tate." I nodded before turning around and walking back towards the castle. Before I left the two alone though, I stopped and used my powers to listen in to their conversation. "Mitchel, sir, is Indigo one of your friends?" Tate's eager voice filled my ears. Brady chuckled. "Yes Tate, she's one of my friends. Why do you ask?" Tate shifted nervously. "Well, she seems really nice and I was wondering if maybe she could be my friend too?" Brady must have smiled at Tate or something because Tate jumped in joy and the two headed off for their patrol. I shook my head in amusement. Now I had a guard crushing on me, though I'm not sure if it's just one-sided.

Lanny POV

"Cousins! What brings you here?" I questioned nervously as my two cousins walked up to me. "We just wanted to tell you that Brady was on Kinkow a few days ago, but now he's gone again. We don't know where he is. We were hoping you could give us some clues?" Boz spoke up. I shook my head. "Sorry guys, but I didn't know he was back and I didn't know he left, so I can't help you on that." My cousins frowned at this. "Alright then. Thank you Lanny." They turned around and were about to walk about when Brady walked in, his hood up so they couldn't see who it was. He stopped when he noticed his brothers. "Who are you?" Boomer demanded, walking closer to Brady. "My name is Mitchel. I'm the head guard here on Lanada." Brady spoke with an accent, most likely hoping to throw his brothers off. "Ok. How would you like to work for the Kings of Kinkow?" Boz questioned, a proud tone to his voice when he said "Kings of Kinkow." Brady shook his head. "Sorry, but I am only loyal to King Lanny." I silently laughed at this. When Brady and Boomer had first come to Kinkow, I had always wished one of them would say that. It's funny how things have changed, though for better or worse, I'm not sure.

"Fine then. We will let you know that our guards on Kinkow love us and are always happy to work for us every day." Boomer spoke, offended that Brady had declined his offer. The Makoolas rolled their eyes, obviously showing that Boomer was lying. I could tell that Brady was rolling his eyes under his hood. In a way, since he's come back, we seem to be more like each other. It's a little strange but it's nice to have someone that understands your actions, well kind of, at least. "Hey, why don't you take off your hood?" Boz questioned Brady, walking even closer to him. Brady backed up. "I would rather not take it off, thank you very much." Boz continued to walk towards Brady until he was right in front of him. He then reached for Brady's hood. That's when Brady freaked out. Brady slid beside Boz and grabbed his arms before twisting it and slamming Boz against the wall. "My hood stays on." Brady growled lowly.

"Ok, ok! You win! I'll leave you alone! Just let go! Guards, help!" Boz cried out. Brady released him as the Makoolas rushed forward and grabbed onto Brady. I quickly jumped up. "Unhand him! You are on my island not yours! You have no right to ouch mu guards!" I yelled at the Makoolas. They ignored me and forced Brady to the ground, might I add barely doing so. Once Brady was on the ground Boz and Boomer reached for his hood, right as Indigo walked in. As soon as she saw the scene she screamed, "Freeze!" The whole room froze except for me, Indigo, and Brady. Indigo ran over to Brady and helped him up, pushing the Makoolas away as she did so.

"King Brady, are you ok?" Indigo questioned. Brady nodded while rubbing his arms where the Makoolas had been holding onto him. "We have to be more careful. I'll take Brady to the elders while you get rid of the Kinkowians, alright Lanny?" I nodded before watching as Indigo led Brady away. As soon as she left the room everything became unfrozen and the Makoolas and Kings stood up, looking around confused. "Where did he go?" Boz yelled in frustration. They all then looked over at me. "I don't know where he went, but it would probably be a good idea for you to leave. This is my island and you are not allowed to come and just attack my guards like you did. Now leave, please." Boomer and Boz nodded before walking away, followed by the Makoolas who looked around again before following their bosses. I sighed before walking back to my throne and sitting down, annoyed by my cousins.

Brady POV

I followed Indigo as we ran stealthily through the forest, towards Kinkow. I couldn't afford another close call like that. My brothers almost found me again and I can't have that happen. Not yet, at least. After a few minutes of running we reached Kinkow. Indigo stopped when we entered the forest and turned to me. "Alright King Brady, I'm going to need you to take me to the Elders. I am unfamiliar with this island." I nodded and started running to the Elder's huts, Indigo following right behind me. Once we reached the clearing, I stopped and let Indigo walk in front of me. Indigo walked briskly up to the head Elder's hut and rapped her knuckles on the door.

There was some noise inside before the door opened. "What you want?" The Elder questioned, not noticing me. "I am Indigo. The island has sent me to talk with you." Indigo introduced herself. The Elders eyes widened before he walked out and called the other Elders. The three Elders then stood in front of Indigo. "Speak, Indigo." The head Elder demanded. Indigo nodded before grabbing me arm and pulling me forward, pushing my hood off my head at the same time. The Elders gasped. "King Brady. You were to leave the island. Why are you still here?" The Elders demanded. I was about to respond when Indigo cut me off.

"He is still here because the island wants him to be here. I was sent to tell you that, but I arrived too late and you had already banished him. If you banish him again now that I have told you not to, there will be horrible consequences. The island wishes him to stay and help. Has the island not told you yet of whatever is coming? There are three kings of legend and if one leaves, then we are all doomed. However, the evil force does not yet know that King Brady has returned. For this reason, he should be allowed to stay on Lanada so that the force can't find out about him. However, he must stay away from his brothers for they will blow his cover. The island let King Brady come back because he was meant to leave and come back. Now, King Brady must stay near Kinkow, because without him here, we all may die." Indigo finished her speech with a definite tone.

The Elders nodded. "Very well then. King Brady can stay, but he must stay on Lanada for now. Also, since he is the third King of Legend, you must give him his 'king ring'." Indigo nodded and turned to me. "This isn't the same thing as your brother's rings. This is much more powerful." I nodded my head as Indigo held out her hand, a small blue flame starting to burn in it before the flame turned into a golden ring with an onyx gem in the middle. "This is your ring. Be careful with it. The powers are very strong, but you will only be able to use them when the powers are needed, not on your own free will." I nodded my head once again as I took the ring and slid it on my right hand. Indigo then noticed my dog tag necklace I had on. "Let me see that." She pointed to it. I reached up and slid my dog tags off my neck before handing the necklace to her. She held it in her hand and the necklace glowed slightly.

"There. Now you have at least some protection if the ring is lost. Let's just hope you never have to use your necklace." She handed back my necklace. I took it and slid it back on. "The necklace doesn't have any powers; all it can do is protect you and anyone near you at the time slightly with a small shield." I nodded before Indigo grabbed my hand. "We must hurry back to Lanada now. Thank you for your help, Elders. The island is happy with you." The Elders nodded before Indigo and I took off running into the night.

Done! Now you know what Brady has as his "King Ring". Also, what did you think of his meeting with his brothers? On an important note, do you guys want Tate and Indigo to become a ship? If so, then review with a couple names. I'll wait till chapter ten to announce if they are going to be a ship or not, and if I chose your name then you will receive a special shout out on that chapter! Thanks for reading!

Lots of Hugs,
