GRAHAM'S POV

Marcel and Jesse have been out cold through the night. Addylin and Davina have been trying everything to wake Marcel up, I wonder what he's going through in his mind. Now we can't get a sword without Jesse and we have no idea when she'll wake up either.

I heard a knock at the door of the room I stayed in. "Its open," I said as I wasn't ready to get up. Palmer, the head of defense here walked in. "We have our defensive formation set up around Armagaddon, the soldiers also put explosives at the portal." He said.

"Thats great, thank you Palmer".

"And there's someone here that wants to see you", he said and stood away from the door. "Who's that?", I asked. "I think its better you see it for yourself".

Oh my, a visitor. Last time I had those my life turned around, and it wasn't for good. Palmer led me to the waiting from. I opened the door wondering who it was that wanted to see me. A sudden rage hit me at the sight. "Kevin", I said silently and punched him in the face before asking anything.

"What the hell is he doing here?", I asked the few people I then noticed in the room, Eric, Aurora and Addylin. "The scouts found him in the outskirts as he was making his way here. He was completely unarmed", Eric explained.

"Look, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't serious", Kevin said as he got himself up, it seemed I wasn't the only person he got a punch from. "You shouldn't be here at all!", I yelled at him. "If you don't hear me out, every thing your fighting for will be in vane", and he yelled back. We all kept quiet to hear what bullshit he was going to spit out.

"Thank you. The dark king will be launching his army tomorrow at sundown. And before you cut me out, the dark king should be the least of your worries right now. There is.. There is some one.., something more powerful, more evil and dark waiting to be released when Brandon has enough power. If that evil is released, there's nothing I or anyone of you can do to stop it". There was now a deafening silence in the room.

"And why should we believe you, you've been helping Brandon all along". I broke the silence. "That was before I found the truth. Brandon is blinded by that evil".

"Brandon killed my parents".

"If you don't believe me the let me wake Jesse. I am on your side and for every one's good do not let Brandon get to the pool. I know you all think I'm a terrible person".

"We don't think, we know it", Aurora blurted out. "And I deserve it, I regret my actions and I know I don't deserve you trust or help, but before I meet my fate, let me make at least one thing right, let me wake Jesse"

I didn't want to believe him, and from the looks of every other person, no wanted to either. If there was any chance to wake Jesse, what if he's lying and he kills Jesse.

"He's telling the truth", Tiana says and barges into the room with tears in her eyes. She walks to me before falling on the floor, she looks out of energy. I sat on the floor and kept her head on my chest and held her close. "Its okay Tee, what do you me he's telling the truth". I asked.

"A vision, I had a vision. They.. They call her... the mistress of evil, queen of the shadows. And an old prophecy said if she ever set foot on the earth again, every living creature will fall at her feet, those that resist will get a fate worst than death". Tiana says before passing out.

"Do you believe me now?"..

"You are gonna wake Jesse, and tell us what you know about this queen of shadows", I said as I carried Tiana to her room. I laid her down and left to the room were Jesse was in and she was awake. Jesse was awake. Not fully though but her eyes opened. "She needs to rest", Aurora said. I looked at Kevin, the urge to tell him thank you was there, but the fact the he played a role in putting her there was a perfect override.

"Plan room, now", I said to Kevin before looking at Aurora and Eric for them to follow. They were both here to take Kevin down if he made one wrong move. "Wait!!", Davina called out from the other room. "So one is gonna try to wake Marcel up". We all shared a look. "Can you wake him up?", she asked Kevin.

"I couldn't even of I wanted to. To wake Jesse I just had to free her from Brandon's grip. Marcel, he's lost in his mind, the only person who can wake him up is him".

"Sure it is, pretty sure if he was part of all this you all would stop at nothing to wake him".

"Davina, were going to wake him. We just don't have the means and time for it now", Aurora said. "Its okay, go do what you need to do". She turned away frustratedly. Now I feel awful, but there was nothing we could do. We sat at our usual round table. "Never thought you'd ever sit there again", Aurora said to Kevin. Aurora, Eric, Addylin and Palmer were here.

"Tell us what you know", Eric seemed to be losing patience faster.

"It is said that the people who knew the origin and weaknesses of the Queen of shadows never lived to tell the story. No one knows where she is or why she hasn't destroyed the entire man kind yet, but we know that if Brandon frees her, every thing we've fought for would be futile".

"So what your saying is the this 'Queen of shadows', may or may not exist", I asked.

"Either ways, we can't let Brandon win. If you don't believe me you should believe Tiana". I didn't want to believe him, but that'll be wrong. "Oh we trust Tiana, you.., not so much. Which is why out human friends will have you in cuffs."

"What?", he asked, sadly we all ignored him.

"Speaking of human friends, have the soldiers sent for help?", Eric asked when we were alone. "They tried, nothings working. We're on our own", we both look across the skies. "Graham?, are you seeing that?", Eric asked and I looked to the direction he was looking. "The dark clouds are coming back.. Kevin said he was attacking tomorrow night", I said.

"We're not trusting Kevin now are we?. Turns out Brandon is coming earlier, we need to alert the others". We both ran to Jesse room to meet with Aurora and Addylin.

"Why you boys running so much", Aurora asked. "Brandon is attack at sundown tonight, dark clouds are here", Eric explain.

Jesse pulled her self to sit upright from her bed. "Then let's get moving"...
