At the Andeenan Royal Palace

"You know, you were dumb going to the battlefield." Eena said.

"I thought I could make a difference in the battle." Ande replied.

"Well, you were shot right at the beginning of battle, so no, you did no make a big difference in the battle."

"What is past is past, let us focus on the future." He pointed out.

"Ha Ha, way to go changing the topic, but alright. Let us focus on ending the war." Eena laughed sarcastically. "Have you heard the news? About the new shadow summoner?"

"Yes. I have sent one of my best mage to spy on him. He should be back soon." Ande assured.

From the teleportation platform, appear Terian and Arya.

"Your majesties, give the orders for the mages to deploy." Terian pleaded as he ran into the Leaders' Quarter.

"On what ground?" Eena said.

"On the matter that we have a shadow summoner and we should eliminate him while he is still weak." Terian explained.

"No! Zuno doesn't know what he is doing. He is harmless." Arya objected.

"Are feelings making your judgement blurry elven?" Ande questioned.

"No, I assure you. I've been with him for weeks and he is as scared as you and I about his powers. He is coming here to find a way to control or even stop his powers. This is my honest judgement." Arya replied.

"He is dangerous, he sho----". Terian was stopped.

"You two are dismissed." Ande said.

"But, but---" Arya stuttered.

"Now please!" Eena roared.

Terian and Arya bowed and make their leave.

"Right, now what do we do about him?" Ande asked.

"Let's go to the great library, we know too little about shadow summoners, if he is even one." Eena replied.

The two royalties made their way to the great library. The library is enormous, floating above the clouds just like their castle. Only by magic can they enter the great library.

"Your majesties. What do I owe the honour of your visit?" The librarian asked.

"We need to read about shadow summoners." Ande pointed out.

"The---the myth of the s--shadow summoners sire?" The librarian stuttered, scared.

"It is more than just a myth now." Eena said. "We'll move on now."

The two explored millions of ancient books and they were outside the chamber of knowledge. "Grant us thy passage guardian, it is us, your leaders." Ande and Eena casted a spell and opens the door to the chamber. A tall guardian, wearing all gold armor and longsword awaited.

"Greetings Your Highnesses." The guardian said.

The two nodded and went inside. "Alright which one has the explanation about shadows?" Eena asked.

"I haven't been here in ages. Try looking one by one." Ande replied.

They searched the hundreds of books from before the beginning of magic. "Here, I guess, it says shadows on it." Ande joked about.

"No time to be joking around brother. Time is not on our side." Eena stressed.

"Has time ever been on our side? Has time ever helped us during war?" Ande mumbled. "I'll look it up."

"Here, listen to this 'shadow summoners, humans chosen by shadows to wield their strength and deliver darkness towards the realm. Incredible power can be released, enough to bring darkness for centuries. Only those in direct line of the shadow ancestors can wield the power.' Make sense?" Eena read.

"Ehm, yes, but I thought our father had killed all shadow summoners..." Ande wondered.

"Maybe he is not a shadow summoner." Eena said

"Let him come here. We will have to check it ourselves. If he is truly a shadow summoner, then I will execute him myself." He said.

"If he is truly a shadow summoner, we are already dead." She replied.

They both agreed to let him come despite the risks and went back to their palace. They summoned Arya and Terian.

"Arya, go back to him and bring him here. We will allow him to enter." Eena orderd.

"Your majesties! This is not the right decision, he must be eliminated immediately. He will bring chaos if he is brought here." Terian advised.

"Our decision is final, Zuno is to come here and earn our help." Ande defended. "We will teleport you to his position, your job will be to ensure his safety until he reaches Andeena."

"Why not give him a spell to teleport, my leige? Arya wondered.

"Only wizards and mages can use the spell, he is not." Eena explained.

"Don't blame me when this all falls apart. I warned you. I'll take my leave. Your majesties." Terian condemned the majesties action as he bowed and left.

The others ignored him. "We shall now teleport you to him. Godspeed. We grant you royal power, enabling you to use other forms of magic, not just healing magic." Ande and Eena said together.

Arya bowed and was teleported near to Zuno.

"Right, that is handled with, now, what about the war." Eena was worried.

"Its not going anywhere soon. I'm going to accelerate The Safe Haven Initiative, if that's ok with you." Ande requested.

"You're in charge of handling the war and I'm in charge of handling the rest. Sure, I think it's time to undergo the plan." Eena agreed.

Safe Haven initiative, the plan to reduce further civilian casualties from the war, by opening the Andeenan Kingdom to the public, allowing civilians to seek refuge and to send mages across the cities and villages in no man's land to create a forcefield that will deflect any incoming Magic, bullets and bombs from coming in. The final phase of the plan, to completely conceal Ravenrock and Levenhood kingdom from the rest of no man's land.

"Good, phase 1 and 2 should begin immediately. Guards! Light up the sky." Ande ordered. The Guards casted a lightning spell, which means the majesties had ordered all mages and wizards to gather at the great hall.

"Let's go." Eena said.

The two sibling leaders got up their seat and  put on their royal robes of red colour with a white book symbol in the middle. Wearing their royal uniforms. They teleported to the great hall.

Thousands of mages and wizards, including Terian, have gathered, awaiting for the royal highnesses to deliver their speech. From the upper podium, Prince Ande and Princess Eena appeared. The people cheered their names and clapped. Ande raised his hand and the people stopped.

"Fellow Andeenan, time have been rough in this few years, the war has not ended, Ravenrock and Levenhood are still fighting for territory over the no man's land. We, the ones fighting for peace and the people of the free land, must now act faster and more agressive to ensure the peace. Therefore, I here by ordering the Safe Haven Initiative to be in effect immediately." Ande declared.

"You are all to take part in this initiative, all of you are needed to ensure the success of this plan. Let us fight for peace and fight for the freedom of the people of no man's land! Hoora!" Eena yelled as she thrusts her fist into the air. The people cheered louder. "May our magic always protect us from evil." The people repeated.

"May our magic protect us from evil."

The people were dismissed and the royal highnesses returned to their palace.

"You need to get a wife soon. We'll not rule forever you know." Eena joked about.

"If I do that, you will no longer be in power." Ande replied.

"I don't care about power, as long as you are the king, I'm ok with it." Eena said.

"Maybe, after the war, I'll find a partner." Ande stated. "I'm heading off, I need to oversee the initiative myself. I'll head to the nearby cities first."

"And I'll stay here, looking over the asylum seekers coming in." Eena made clear. "I hope we can do this in time. What about the boy?"

"We'll deal with him as soon as he arrives. Notify me when he does." Ande said.

Eena nodded and Ande teleported out. Eena went to the frontline, Sedeena City.

------------

"Have the archers fortified the wall yet?" Eena asked.

"Yes your majesty." A guard replied.

"Good, let us hope that the two kingdoms don't attack us while we open our gates." She said. "Open the gates, release the forcefield."

The city was now seen, sitting on the mountain, it is the only way to enter Andeena Kingdom. The heavy iron gates was pulled up. Now they wait, wait for Ande to tell the people of the land without borders that Andeena is open.

"Godspeed brother." She mumbled as she held her staff a bit tighter.

-------------

"Let's get a move on, the war is not waiting for anyone." Ande shouted.

He was in the nearby city of Wesh, fortifying the city with magic and asked the people to go to Andeena if they wish so.

A loud boom was heard nearby, a mage was wounded. Gunfires were heard and spells were being casted. "May our magic protect us from evil." Ande whispered as he ran towards the incident.
