Chapter 1
*HELGRIND'S POV*
"Its been three years Helgrind. Don't you think its time to arrest him?" Terryn, the Mayor or Ruxomar, says to me.
"The day Andor comes to me and confess he's doing this on his own will, is the day I will arrest him." I reply.
"Why do you suppose he's doing it?" Justice, the mayors daughter, asks.
"They threatened him with his life. Told him that what he is doing is who he is. Which is a lie."
"If Andor had just a touch of hope, he could burn through both Dagrun and Ruxamar. You're right if he wanted to do it, it would've already been done." She says. Justice is a amazing warrior. She fights better than most of the men in my army. I trust her word more than I trust Harold's!
*JORDAN'S POV*
Andor is still fast asleep in my arms. Maddi, Capsize, and himself have worked so long on this song. The song that symbolizes who we are, as a family.
"Jordan we leave in two hours to go to the seam." Maddi whisper-yells at me. I nod at her and she disappears back downstairs. I slide down to where I'm level with Andor. I gently press my lips to his and he instantly kisses back.
"Good morning." I whisper staring into Andor's green eyes. He smiles and gives me another kiss.
"Good morning."
Time Skip
*ANDOR'S POV*
Maddi walks into the little tent the seam has for a hospital. Jordan goes next then me. Everyone gets quiet when they see me.
"Maddi, you brought... Andor?" A girl with jet black hair says.
"He's....This was his idea." Maddi says and I step in front of Jordan. She shakes my hand and I smile.
"Jordan?" A redheaded girl with green eyes says.
"Erin?" Jordan looks like he's gonna be sick. She shoves past me and throws her arms around Jordan.
"I can't believe it! I thought for sure you were....." Erin stops taking and pulls away.
"Are you here to help us?" She asks me and I look to Maddi. I don't know how to answer this!
"Yes." Is all I can manage to get out. Erin's bad looks towards me don't seize, they only get worse. She drags Jordan a good distance away and jealously floods into me.
"Capsize." I whisper yell and Capsize walks over.
"Go see what they're talking about."
"No you!" This girl will be the death of me.
"I'll go with you!" Maddi says joining in on the fun, while Wag distracts everyone else.
"Fine, lets go." Capsize and Maddi walk over to Jordan and Erin.
I walk over and sit next to one of the patients, to watch Wag and Emily's magic show.
"Now I need one of you." Wag pauses and Emily picks a little girl with long dark purple hair. She's hesitant but agrees to hold Wag's hand in her own.
"So you we're born into an Ianite family?" He asks and she nods.
"Wonderful! You know I've met her once." Wag pauses and a purple like glow is coming from in between their hands.
"She told me she was part of nature and I should learn from her beauty. She then showed me a purple flower. A butterfly landed on said flower and we both laughed." Wag releases his hand and the little girl has a glowing purple flower hovering over her hand! Wag winks and a butterfly appears. I smile at the child's amazement.
"And then we set it free." Wag takes the little girls hand again and raises it gently above her head. She blows air above her hand and the butterfly flies off leaving a purply glow where it once flew.
"Very good! Here." Wag pulls a flower from behind his back and sticks it in the little girls hair. Everyone claps, who wouldn't!
"How are things? Back in the city." A older woman asks me. I let my eyes fall to the floor, I'm not sure I should answer. Wag help!
"We heard the rumors, its okay to talk." She says placing her hand on my shoulder.
"Could be better- I'm not gonna lie. But we're gonna repair the damages my father and Terryn have caused. I promise."
"Andor you're very brave." She says removing her hand.
"No, I'm just doing what's right. That's all."
"Well not everybody can stand up to Helgrind, he's quite intimidating." Another says.
"It's different when he's your dad." I say in defence.
"Well its also different when he beats you."
Chrissy is dragging me out, I guess I owe her one.
"This was a bad idea. Skipper get the rest of them, we're leaving." Chrissy orders and Jordan walks out seconds later.
"What happened?" He asks, concern filling his voice.
"They said I was brave, which is a lie! When I said I hadn't done anything worth that title. Someone brought up...." I let my voice trail off. I still can't bring myself to say it. Jordan pulls me in his arms and I break down. I just sob there's nothing else I can do.
"Its okay we're gonna be okay." Jordan coos in an attempt to calm me down.
"Jordan ummm..." Capsize is cut off by people pleading from inside. They're begging for me to, to leave.
"Get him out of here I'll be back at the house as soon as I can." Jordan says pulling away from me.
"He's no better than Justice! And you know the pain that girl brought to us!" Someone yells.
"Lets go." Capsize says throwing her arm around me. I can't leave Jordan here!
"Wait!" Wag yells and I turn back.
"Take her with you." Emily walks over to Capsize while Wag leans to whisper to me,
"I don't want her to hear the things I know are about to come from these people's mouths." I nod and join Capsize and Emily.
*JORDAN'S POV*
"Hey!" I yell silencing Maddi and everyone's argument.
"He's here to help us. Not hurt us. I don't know who Justice is, but I know Andor is here to restore the balance."
"How do you know this? How do you know he is what we need? How do you know if he is what Ianite wants?" A man asks me.
"Because he ran." It's all I can get out.
"So you're saying he ran and that makes him capable of leading us?"
"While he was away, Ianite spoke to him. She told him to fight for us. The next day Tom and I were put on trail and sentenced death. Just minutes before Helgrind had our heads Andor jumped in the way. He saved us. He has hope. Now you just have to trust in us." I take Maddi and lead her out, along with Tom, Jev, Chrissy, Wag, and Steve.
"Thank you." Maddi whispers and I throw a supportive arm around her.
"Anytime Princess." My remark makes her smile, which causes a chain reaction on the rest of us. I'm quite interested to see how this rebellion is gonna fan out, with Andor as our leader.
