I feel my heart beating. He puts his hand on my shoulder. I look up at him. He turns his head. At the council chamber there were a bunch of murmurs. Tsuey hides behind Princess Nuala. I grip my hand wound. 

"It's okay." He whispers in my ear.

I nod. I know it was, but I can still feel a chill up my spine. There is this foul smell of blood and death. I have no idea what to expect. I'm nervous to go in. Nuala takes Tsuey's hand. I turn back. he nods at me. I let out a breath. Nuada hands Charman his weapons. I feel his hand on my shoulder.

"Let's go." He whispers in my ears. 

I nod. He pushes me in. I walk near Mother.

"Mother, what is-" I start.

I turn. I gasp and place a hand over my mouth. Our brothers. Our warrior brothers. They were dead and were burned but there was something else. Their corpses weren't normal. They had large cuts and large bites. Their eyes... they were ripped out. Tsuey hides behind Nuala. I can feel a darkness.

"Something pollutes the water." Mother hisses.

"What could have done this?" Nuada steps forward.

"We don't know." Mother looks at King Balor.
