*Two Hours Before The Shivoa Attack*

Princess Jess and Ian were helping Adam walk since Adam's leg was injured during the attack by Ross. Jason and Red were in front of them while they all followed Prince Ty. Maneuvering through a dense forest with an injured leg isn't as easy as it may seem, fallen trees and tall bushes everywhere and running through here is calling for a broken ankle since there is always something to go over.

By the time they all got inside, it was sunrise. Estron Kingdom, a place surrounded by the Silver Hills, plains full of wildlife and lushest rolling hills. Estron is one of the main trading Kingdoms, with Isra being the other. The Estron Royal family consists of two Princes and three Princesses. Prince Calvin, the oldest of the five and next in line for the throne, and Prince Tyler or Ty, the second oldest of the five. Princess Tiffany (Yes this is ihascupquake), the third oldest. Princess Lilly, the fourth oldest and finally Princess Celina, the fifth oldest. The Estron Royal Family line doesn't seem to ever last on the account they lose Kings and Queens at young ages. The Kingdom itself is a spread out city that is full of life and smiling faces and laughs. So as soon as the Skaldians entered, Ian immediately pulled up Adam's hood and covered up Adam's tattoo.

"Ian—"

"I failed to protect you already, Prince, not again." Ian said. Prince Ty leads them into the palace courtyard. Jess grips Adam's arm.

"This place is pretty, Prince Ty." Jess said. Prince Ty smiles a little.

"My sisters like to keep things beautiful, while me and my brother could care less." Prince Ty said. Jess looks around and at the Skaldians.

"You guys stick out like sore thumbs with your dark skin tones." Jess said.

"That's the price of living in a desert." Red said. Adam groans slightly when he puts pressure on his injured leg. Ian pulls Adam upright and tighten his grip on him. Jess helps Adam walk as well when they get inside. When they get inside, they are immediately inside a big throne room, with guards and the King there. Prince Ty stops beside his Father and they start talking to each other. Adam shakes his head as his vision blurs slightly.  His pant leg is stained red along with the tattered clothing around his wound. Adam leans in against Ian, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

"Adam?" Ian said looking at the Prince worried.

"I'm f-fine..just dizzy." Adam said softly.

"He lost too much blood." Jason said. King Nathan comes down the steps and stops in front of them all.

"You don't look so good Prince Adam." King Nathan said. Adam looks at the King. Ian grabs Adam as he leans forward. Jess grabs Adam's arm. Ian looks at the King.

"He needs to lay down and rest, your highness. Your son made Adam walk here and that was too much for him with his wound." Ian said. King Nathan nods and crosses his arms.

"I get that and I'm more than happy to help him. You all can stay here as long as you need to, but what is this about Shivoa in danger like my son says?" King Nathan asks. Jason steps beside Ian.

"King Luther and King Zane has been fabricating an invasion on the Shivoa Island. They intend to assassinate the entire Hughes Royal Family, we just learned about it a few hours ago." Jason said. Prince Ty walks up beside his father.

"Ty, set sail for Shivoa, they need to be warned." King Nathan said. Ty looks at the King.

"I do not have my crew here in Estron currently in order to do that. Besides, I wouldn't make it there in time anyway if this invasion is soon. That's why I sent Chara to tell Seto of it. Maybe he can reach there faster than we can." Ty said. The King nods, than he looks at Adam and them.

"We'll figure everything out later, for now, Ty can lead you to take the Prince to our infirmary in the castle." King Nathan said. Ian nods.

"Sounds good." Ian said. He looks at Ty. 'Well..goodish..Nevermind that, I have to protect Adam, I can't him get hurt again..' Ian thought.

Chara runs towards a tall tower, the tower near an edge of a cliff, is known to the magic community as the Tower Of Mastery, this tower is part of the Light Mage community, various of the powerful Mages usually reside here and is also has an school for apprentices. The tower itself is high in the sky with beautiful architecture and landscape surround it. But just to the north west of the tower is the Red Chasm. A deep and long crack in the earth that continues to grow and is heading straight towards the tower even though right now the crack is leading away, it it aiming for it.

Once Chara gets near the entrance, she sees two people. Chara smiles.

"Seto! Brice!" Chara called out. She runs up to them. Seto and Brice turns to her. Brice Solace, a young and thin man that is taller than Seto. Brice has blonde hair with blue eyes, a black shirt with gold stripes on the sleeves, a sword on his left side with dark grey pants and a black cloak. Brice isn't a Mage, but everyone knows that Seto and Brice have been friends for years, they are inseparable like Seto and Ty can be.

Beside him is Seto Azdel, a short and thin young man who always seem to have a bruise or cut on him from tripping over things. Seto has chestnut brown hair that covers his brown eyes lightly, a dark grey jacket that reaches down to his calves and has dark purple designs on it, dark red fingerless gloves and brown boots. Seto is one of the top Light Mages, one of the elites, in the magic world. He also happens to be Chara's Teacher.

"What's the rush?" Brice asks. Chara looks at Seto.

"Shivoa is about to be attacked, you got to do something Seto." Chara said. That's when she notices Seto's brown bag that is resting on his left hip. "Wait..where are you going?"

"I was leaving for Laenadur. I got there called for a war council meeting." Seto said.  Chara shakes her head.

"No, King Mitch—"

"Don't worry, Chara. Of course I'm going to help Shivoa..but..I don't know if I can get there in time." Seto said. Chara looks at the ground. Seto takes a step towards her, his hand touching her arm. "Chara...I'll leave right now." Chara looks at Seto, she was about to speak when Seto suddenly pulls her close to him.

"Who are you?" Seto asks. Chara looks behind her seeing a large group of people behind her. Chara grabs Seto's shirt as she moved closer. Brice grabbed his sword handle. One of them flicks a spell towards Brice. Seto runs up beside Brice, he ricochets the spell into the sky. Seto grits his teeth together, looking at the group.

"Dark Mages."
