UNKNOWN POV;

Thunder rumbled through out the skies, dead birds were literally falling out the same skies, fear reigned in amaggadon as dark clouds began to spread over the city and the light that once gave every one hope, was burning out, little by little. The dark king is risen, and it's all because of me. No one knows who I am, or what I've done. But I can't go back now, amaggadon will fall.

GRAHAM'S POV

It was one hell of a night we had yesterday, we practically released hell to the world at the cost of getting my mom back. I missed her a whole lot, but it looked like she didn't want to be freed. On the bright side, she's on-board with the plan since the dark king has Tiana, but she had been resting since then, it wasn't easy to stay locked up in a sphere for seven months, I couldn't wait to talk to her again. Thinking about Tiana hurt like hell. How was she doing, was she being starved..
"Aaah", I screamed to get out of my thoughts, I need to focus on getting her back, and I have my father's sword, a long, sleek silver sword with several linings on it. I hadn't really wielded it yet, but it felt like I was being drawn to it.

I walked into a large room where the guardians were devising a plan.

"Graham, now that you are here, we might as well let you in on this. From one of guard spies we sent to search for any thing unnatural, we found that there is a place, more like a lair that seems to be the hideout of the dark king, if Tiana is any where, it has to be there". Lady Aurora explained. "And we're sure that is the place". I asked. "Most certainly yes, or else there wouldn't be records of extreme dark clouds day and night there. We need to keep the humans out of this, their devices would only endanger their lives". And Eric answered.

After every thing said, no one talked about when we're living. "Soo, when do we leave?. "That is a good question, it'll be after you learn to fight". Eric said signalling me to go with him. "We don't have time for this, the longer we stay Tiana spends another minute in that hell hole". Eric glared at me, "then don't keep me waiting". There was no room to argue with that, no one seemed to be on my side this time.

I followed Eric to the training room, it was a large, spaced round room that had several weapons at each section. Eric stood at one of the battle grounds and gestured for me to join him.

"Choose your weapon wisely", he said picking up two katanas. "I choose the katana because it is sleek and dangerous, does the most damage when least expected, and it looks good on me". His lips curled to a side of his face. I picked a sword that was similar to my dad's.

"A sword fight with an enemy, is a battle to death. One lives, the other doesn't, which means every move you make counts and should be precise, accurate, calculative and deadly, you need to think at the slightest millisecond, the slightest miscalculation can be fatal..", he talked as he walked round grimacing at his katana.

"Strike me, and don't hold back". He said hopping in a battle stance. Luckily, a few years back, I had fencing lessons, so this lesson wouldn't take too long. I thought to my self. "No, I respect my elders, you first". I said holding my sword up. Eric was fast and conny. He sent multiple strikes at me, I dodged a few and blocked the rest, but he was still dominating, sword fights were nothing like fencing, I was all wrong. We got into the kind off block that we stood firm and still and both weapons were held against each other. "When you fight, don't let your enemy do all the attacking, or you won't last long".
I slid my sword sideways as quickly as I could with a swift turn around making him lose grip on his weapon, when he tried to get it back, I put my leg behind his and swept it forward and he fell on his back, and I placed my sword on his neck.

He got up slowly but I didn't take my sword away, "nicely done boy", he said with a smile, at the slight second I flinched, he advanced forward, gripped my hand and locked it, hit my elbow as if to break it and I let go of my sword, he went around me, and crossed my sword over my neck. "Lesson one..... Never let your guard down".

TIANA'S POV

I woke up in a dark room, atleast I thought it was a dark room, I was in a cell. The stench of the place was irritating. And I could barely see through the dark. I tried to recollect my memories, when I did.

"Let me out of here!!!!, you monsters, let me ouuut!!!" I found my self screaming and banging at the gates of the cell. "Can you keep down, I'm tryna get some sleep", a guy's voice said in the dark, for some reason I wasn't completely scared any more because I knew I wasn't alone in here.

"Who are you", I asked him. "I'm just another prisoner like you, which is how I know that screaming is pointless and you should just save your strength, which is also why I don't know what a little girl like you, who should be in school is doing here, you must be very very special". I didn't know what to say to him because I couldn't think of a reason why I was locked up here. "The sad thing is that this days, special people get locked up in dungeons, that makes you and I".

"What makes you soo special that you're. in here", I asked him. "Didn't your mom teach you not to talk to strangers", a voice said when he was about to answer. The footsteps came closer and louder. My cell was opened and a large strong arm held me and carried me to his shoulder, I tried struggling but it was no use.

I began to see some lights from torches, until we got out of the dungeon. The place I saw looked like what was a castle. He took me to a room, with a man in it, the man turned around and smiled at me.

"Sorry for how harshly my friends treated you, they don't often get visitors, perhaps, we could start over". He said calmly. "And who are you?". I asked scorning his calmness.

"My name is Brandon, but you would know me better as the Dark king". He said looking all happy, which was strange be fear was literally being circulated in my veins, and I didn't expect him to look humanly, let alone handsome. I was disgusted by the thoughts of it. Turns out, not all devils are ugly After all.

"Graham will find you, and he's going to get me back", I said trying to reassure my self, but he looked like he couldn't wait for Graham to come. "Every one loves family reunion, I believe your mom would also be coming, that's right Tiana, your mom is alive, but let's make them hurry shall we". His words left me in shock, my mom was alive. Seconds later, he made the dark clouds spread even further, and whispered what seemed like a spell and one of the stone gargoyles came to life and flew into the clouds.

GRAHAM'S POV

My mom was finally waking up, I hurried to her side. "Mom are you okay?", I asked holding her hand. "Yes I'm fine.... aaah! Aaaaah!!", she started crying out in pain. I screamed for help, when the nurses came, I took a step back and left her hand. She starting getting a bit better, I went close to her and touched her head, and she screamed soo loud I moved away quickly and she was immediately fine again.

"Graham", she called out faintly, " you need to stay away from me", she said. "Why is that". I asked, "the dark king and I were trapped in the same sphere, causing our minds to bond through the magic of the sphere, the closer you are to me, the more I lose my mind to him........"
