Adam took the book and started to read the next chapter.

It was now the start of the afternoon. Many were fast asleep, where the others were starting to doze off.

All sighed in relief as the battle has not yet started.

Most of the children were fast asleep, except for Benjamin jr, the crown prince to the throne of Auradon.

"Not my title. I'm just Benji" he pouted while the others chuckled. He was so much like Ben and mal. They don't use their title always like him.

He was worried for his mother. He cannot live without her, and if something happens with her, he didn't knew what he would do. His father will be completely broken, so will his younger brother and sister.

"Nothing will happen to your amma, until I'm here" Ben said and pressed a kiss on Mal's head.

He was thinking how could his evil grandma, turn into an human from a lizard, she didn't knew how to love. So how?!

"Took the words right out my mouth" Hades muttered to Persephone.

Suddenly, he could feel someone's eye, on his head. He could feel someone looking at him. He turned towards the window(a small hole) and saw a smug looking raven looking at them.

"Not him! Why him?!" Jay shouted while others looked alarmed.

Meanwhile, diaval, when he saw the crown prince looking at him, flew away. He could only saw someone the royals. But no sign of mal. So he was sure that she was dead.

"I'm alive, you stupid bird" mal thought with a smirk. While Ben smirked along with Herz like they were thinking the same thing.

Now it was time for him to give this amazing news to his mistress.

"Evil little bird" jay muttered along with various curse words under his breath.

Meanwhile, back there.
Mal, started waking up slowly, and noticed that his son was missing. She started to gre worried, but when she saw him, looking out at the window, she sighed in relief.
"Benny? What are you looking at?" She asked.

"An raven" Benji answered.
"We know Benny, we heard" Mallory said with an eye roll.

"Mom, when I looked outside, I saw a smug looking raven, sitting on the window, eyeing me and the others like Mallory and chad Jr." He explained while mal stood frozen.
Black raven?! Smug looking?! There is only one bird she knew. DIAVAL.

" I want to kill him" jay whined like a child while Harry laughed silently.

Oh my god , he knows, so that mean mother knows. She thought frantically. And started waking the others up.

Meanwhile, diaval reached the castle and bowed infront of the fae.
"Mistress" he bowed.
"I have news" he added.
"Say , my pet. What's the wonderful news?" She inquired.
"I've found the others" he said with a wicked grin followed by maleficent evil cackle.

"Laugh all you want, you lizard, before I kill you" mal said with a low growl.

Back at the others, when they heard mal they gasped, and started to panic. But mal, calmed them down, and started to go through the plan for the last time.
They left all the children,in the care of the women, who were not participating in the upcoming war.
Mal looked at her children, who were looking at their father, maybe for the last time.

"You're not gonna DIE" all of them shouted again while mal Smiled say.
Now it was time to kill the dragon.

Before Adam could ask who would
Read next, belle practically snatched the book from him to read. The tension was heavy in the atmosphere.
