The cave was decorated with all different colors, potion bottles hanging from every place possible, ivy growing from the ceilings and on the walls. It was a beautiful mess, truly. I looked around carefully noticing a small little corner of the cave, there was a ledge and under the ledge was blankets and pillows decorated like a bed; it was the same on top of the ledge also. This was where they slept. I soon realized that they were their own little family; Seto and Jason, they were all each other had. It would be wrong of me to just rob Seto of Jason and I dont know what Jason would do without Seto. Sky would kill me if I brought back an extra team member that wasn't even in the prophecy. I sighed, "Seto! We are from the prophecy, The world is in danger, please, join our team!" The ground began to shake as Jason stood in the corner like this was something normal. I looked around for the source and then saw fog  coming out of the cracks of the cave, the magical power I was experiencing was overwhelming. 

Quentin held onto Jerome who was in a defensive position, his arm reaching back for his axe. Jason chuckled from the side. "Seto's trying to act all tough and mighty, don't be afraid." I smiled slightly, "Someone with this power could really be useful to us." Behind me, Jerome nodded, agreeing with me. "I can't wait to meet him." For about 10 more seconds, loud footsteps were heard coming up and unknown staircase. "Stop scaring them Seto, cmon I have work to do." A chuckle was heard and a boy, not younger than 8 appeared. He was dressed in long purple robe with a family symbol. All we could see of the boys face was his light brown curly hair coming out of his cloak. "I know you have traveled far to find me. I applaud you Few find me, I was thankful Jason here found me. Please, I know you all have come from the prophecy, where is lost prince?" I looked around. "Nobody here's a prince. We are all common folk who fit the prophecy, but we need your help." Seto frowned. "I see, truly disappointing that the team does not know one another and secrets have been kept. But that is not place, nor is it the time. I understand our threat will arise in only a weeks time, where is the rest of the team?" I nodded, knowing he would ask that question but also confused at his words. What all did he know that I and the rest of the team did not know? "The rest of the team went out searching for our last team member. We have orders from Sky to meet them in my home town of Goldenbrigde." Seto hummed. "I see, the heart of the city." I nod, after moments of silence Seto clears his throat. "I look forward to meeting everyone else. Shall Jason join this team?  can't leave him behind but it's my duty to be in this prophecy?" I nod. "I know Jason has magic in him, I sense it, I would love for him to join us." You can see a half-smile form on his face and I know Jason is thrilled too. "We leave first thing tomorrow morning. You are all welcome to crash here, just be careful not to mess with the potions, most are unstable." I smile slightly, nodding at his kindness and warnings. "Quentin here is our medic, he is 7 but very mature for his age, maybe you can show him so more advance techniques?" Quentin is  practically jumping with joy as Seto nods slightly. "Of course, but at a later date. Right now everyone needs rest for the long journey ahead." 

As the sun set we all made our camp outside. Thanks to Seto's pond, Quentin could heal any wounds he had and sleep there for the night. I built Jerome and I built a fire and Seto taught me a spell to preserve it all night without using so much magic. The next morning Seto woke me up much earlier than the other.

"Who are you really?" He asked, face still covered by the same robe. 

"I-I'm just Ty!" I replied, scared he would find out my secret. Seto looked me up and down, "Okay, just Ty, wake the others up, we need to go." I nodded quickly. This guy was crazy, he probably already knew my secret. I hurried to wake Jerome and Quentin and get camp set up and then we left. Throughout the whole journey I could feel Seto watching me and how I used my magic, let me say it was not very fun. I had to get my powers under control. I needed Sky.

Hey guys so I might be putting this story on pause for a while it's just getting harder and harder to write the ending and that's mainly because I have so many other ideas for a different kind of book. So I might release an original book by summer (May ish) just tell me if that's something you guys would be interested in. 

Love, Olivia
