believe that she was the same person as before.
Addie wasn’t prepared for what she heard. A war, that wasn’t what she would have expected. To her, it didn’t look like they wanted to start a war, they wanted the girls, yes, but they didn’t seem too keen on having to hurt the prince or Kayne. Addie didn’t know what they would want with her and Kessie, but now that they had Kessie it didn’t matter, they had to save her.
“Very well.” The prince said, Addie knew that he was into his role of a prince, he was prepared to face whatever the world through at him.


7 – A Call to Arms

Kessie

It was pitch black by the time Kessie has even attempted to destroy the box. By that time she had also forgotten the word that Rain had used to shatter the box. It began with an F, she knew that much. Her head hurt from thinking too much about it, so she decided to think of some other spells that people had used.
She had heard Kai, Alex and Rain use spells, and it was still hard trying to remember them. Alex has used a fire spell to make a wall. If she could use it to make a small part of the carpet light up around the box then maybe it would melt. The idea sounded surprisingly tempting.
Onc- no that's not it, Ince- Incendia! She shouted in her mind, feeling very pleased with herself.
Crackling and heat from behind her interrupted her, and when she turned round, she looked in amazement at the burning part of the carpet that the box sat in. She grinned, she'd actually done it.
All at once the fire started to spread making Kessie realise what she had done. The brunette ran to the door and banged both fists repeatedly onto it.
"There’s a fire in here! Let me out!" when no one replied she looked for another way out. The window was the only way. If the fire wasn't in the way, she could have gotten to it to notice that the drop was too high anyway.
She stared blankly at the fire, it's heat burning her soft skin. The door opened behind her, but it only registered in her mind faintly.
"Deleo!" the voice came like a tidal wave over the fire, and it disappeared, just like that, leaving only smoke and a burnt carpet behind. With the box sat in the middle.
"What did you do?" the commanding voice came again, Kessie didn't turn around to look at the man who had walked through the door. Instead she glared at the box, all feeling of fear replaced by hatred to it.
"I didn't do anything." she said, her fists clenched by her side. Although the stranger couldn't see the young woman’s face, he knew he recognised the voice.
"Well what did you think?" if he was right, which he usually was, the girl hadn't noticed who he was yet.
"Incendi-oops." Kessie turned round, her head hung in shame, it wasn't meant to go wrong. As she looked up she saw who the man was, and her heart skipped a beat.
"It’s you!" she exclaimed, a smile finding its way onto her face.
"Kessie, what are you doing here?" he asked without the tiniest hint of a smile.
"It’s kestrel!" she hissed, trying to keep her voice low.
"fine." he replied simply "but what are you doing here?" the door shut behind him and he walked over to inspect the burnt carpet, as well as the perfectly clean box.
"I followed Addie and Kayne to Inc-" she stopped herself, unsure of the outcome would be if she were to finish that word. "Anyway, we all know what's going to happen now, you’re going to rescue me."
"I can't." The reply made Kessie’s breath stick in her throat, he could help her, why not? "I'm in service to the prince."
Kaiden could see the look of shock on her face. She did not expect this when she first came through a door, who would? But maybe he could help her out one last time.
"fracta." the box exploded, exactly like it had the first time. Only this time, Kessie noticed that no one piece hit her. A grateful smile played across her lips. The young man walked over to the desk at the end of the room and came back carrying something that looked like a pen. A pen that was old fashioned and futuristic at the same time.
Kessie felt the cold lines of ink as Kai wrote words on her hands. One he was finished she looked them, there were four altogether, and she recognised three of them.
The only thing Kai had told Kessie before he left was not to tell anyone that he had been here in the first place.

The door opened and well-built young man walked into the room. He looked over to a figure on the bed, who hadn't even moved to acknowledge his presence.
"Done already?" he asked, his voice drifting over the distance between him and Kessie like icicles. The curly haired girl sat up from the bed and nodded.
"yeah." she said unsurely. Rain walked over to the singed carpet and smirked, this wasn't what he had expected. Another box appeared in the room, Kessie probably wasn’t the only one who noticed that it was still in the same place as the other ones before it.
"Show me." Rain said in a tone that left no room for arguing.
Crap! The brunette looked sneaking down at her hand whilst climbing off the bed.
"fracta." she commanded. Nothing happened. She glared at the box, and although she knew that it was a different one, she couldn’t help but feel her anger swelling.
"God dammit! Incendia!" like every other time, the bot burst into flames and sat there, not even a single on the corners.
"Again." Rain said, his whole stance revealing that he was bored.
"fracta." she sighed, this was getting tiresome. That was when she heard it, the sound of something cracking. She looked at the box that was still sitting in the fire to see that it had a tiny crack on the side of it.
"Say it like you mean it." this time his voice was filled with humour, making Kessie fill with determination
"Fracta!" she demanded, her arm outstretched and her palm open. Almost instantly the box exploded. It wasn't controlled or nearly as powerful as when Rain or Kai had done it but it was totally destroyed.
A gentle smile appeared on Kessie’s lips and as she looked up to a smiling Rain, she grinned.
"It’s good enough, follow me kestrel."
The corridor was deathly silent as the two walked down it. Rain in front and Kessie following a meter behind. If there was a perfect chance, Kessie had just found it.
Her mind reached out to the thing that she felt before the box had exploded; power, strength, and freedom. Fracta!
Rain stopped but didn't turn, "if you’re trying to kill me I suggest using your favourite spell." he said, his voice icy cold.
"Huh? Oh, you mean Incendia." weather she had wanted it or not, the ball of fire was already flying at great speed toward Rain, only to split into two around him before swirling into nothingness.
"Does Rain Incendia mean nothing to you?" he asked as he turned around and raised an eyebrow at her.
"You know, nobody's really told me much." Kessie replied truthfully.
"I'm the true heir to the throne of Incendia, my family's spell can't truly harm Me." he explained as they continued walking down the corridor.
"oh." was all that Kessie could manage. Sure she was frightened to the bone by what she saw behind those midnight eyes, but a part of here was fascinated by him.
"Are you still trying to kill me?" a blush crept its way across her tanned cheeks, she defiantly heard mockery in his tone.
"Maybe a little less than before." she replied sweetly, "are you still wanting me to be some sort of a weapon?" Kessie saw the side of his mouth tilt up slightly in a smirk.
"Maybe a little less than before." Kessie glared at him. His answer was stupid as well as childish.
"idiot." she said under her breath.
"Whatever. Come on, food should be ready." Kessie quickened her pace, almost overtaking rain who had to speed up to keep up with her.
"I'm starving."

Adeline

"Daddy!" the purple haired mer girl shouted as she swam elegantly over to her father "the Metrix took over Incendia!" the mer king was ageing, he had silver streaks in his once jet black hair, and a few scales of his fin were also turning silver. His voice was a low rumble as he spoke out to his only daughter.
"You brought them why, princess?" he asked, eyeing each of the humans, making each of them feel uncomfortable, though none of them showed it.
"Daddy," the mer girl began "Ali helped us when we needed it, I think it's only fair to return gesture."
The old mer man’s face softened in affection for his daughter.
"Metrix can't breathe here, so they are of no concern of mine. I have other things to deal with." the mer girl swam back down to stand with her friends, it was bonuses arguing with her father, once he'd decided on something, you could change his mind.
As the four friends walked out, Alex was the first to speak.
"Don’t worry, Nessie." he cooed, using his childhood name for her made everything suddenly seem easier, "we can go to Fulgoris in the meantime." Narissa seemed to perk up at the idea.
"Great idea, Ali!"
"You can't come." Adeline glared. She knew one of two things, that either she had a natural hatred for this girl, or that she was jealous, which on was right, she didn't know.
"Me?" Narissa asked in an exadurated voice, "why not! Tell her Ali!" she whined whilst grabbing hold of Alex, who looked at her with an annoyed expression.
"That’s a bit harsh Addie, you should let her come." he said, as if it were her choice in the first place who could come on this mission in the first place.
"But, she can't walk." it was an excuse, everyone knew it, and Narissa had seen it coming.
"Can to! I have pretty human legs and feet." Kayne smirked.
"I bet you do," Addie rolled her eyes, was every boy going to fall for this?

Kessie

Well this is... Different, Kessie thought as she poked the gooey orange 'food' with her misshapen fork.
"Are you trying to poison me?" she asked, not taking her eyes off the messy ball of goo on her plate.
"no." his smirk made it hard for anyone who was sane to believe his words, so Kessie turned her attention to something that looked similar to spaghetti; with the only difference being the colour of the things. She twirled some round her fork and took a quick bite. She almost gagged in response.
"Is it really that bad?" Rain asked, his eyes swirling in amusement.
"No, I just didn't think I looked that good." she smiled, placing her fork down neatly next to the spoon. Rain sighed, this is not the company that he was used to.
"Would you prefer Necraisian or Incendian food?" he asked politely, although his expression gave off a vibe of irritance.
"No, I would prefer food from earth, maybe just a salad?" she asked, she was sure by the look of all these disgusting foods, that she would only be able to eat something light.
"Ok, guard! Slaughter a salad for the girl!" the guard who was waiting
