Chapter 11 " Town of Arlena "

Asher's POV :

We have been on the course for about 10 hours and all the warriors were tired. " Raven I think we shall make a stop at this town. It has been a hard way " Ruka whispered to Raven. " I think you are right Ruka," she said, "Guys we are making a stop in the town of Arlena". All the warriors nodded.

Soon we reached the town of Arlena. Now it was time to be on duty. I have to spy and become Raven's ears and eyes. I informed 'Her Royal Highness' and went on my way towards the marketplace.

One whole hour but I couldn't find anything. I rolled my eyes. What a good job I got. Superb.

A smell filled the air. Oh my is it ... Kamikolo?

( Kamikolo is a Xiyan Dish made with grasshopper meat, octopus legs, and Sinyashin sauce with some snake chunks in it)

I went into the hotel and took a seat. The waiter came towards me. " What would you like Sir " he smiled. " One Kamikolo please, " I said and he went away to fetch it.

I ate the Kamikolo and was about to leave when I found two mysterious-looking men. Just like the spies at the Shades of Darkness Council. Okay if they were from Shades of Darkness then I have to follow them.

They went into a cold, deserted ally and I followed them, cautiously as I didn't want them to know about me spying on them. They went inside a hut-like shop named Abandoned Flames and sat on the tables. I climbed on the high ceiling of the shop behind Abandoned Flames and started to listen and watch.

" Craig are you sure that the information is real," the pink-haired guy said. " Yes Daniel, That bitch really is here" the other man probably Craig said. " What does she think that she could kill His Majesty of Darkness " Daniel growled with disgust. " I don't know about anything else but she is staying at the Harbour Inn and tonight when she sleeps we will assassinate her " Craig smiled with pure evil. " What's her name," Daniel asked. " Raven Queen " and with that, my head whirled. They were planning an assassination attempt, which I definitely was gonna make a complete failure for them. As I was climbing down from the ceiling, I knocked over a can and the men's eyes snapped towards me. At that time, I knew only one thing...

I WAS SCREWED.

Lexi's POV:

I sat near the lake capturing the lake and the mountains around it in my sketchbook. I looked at Beta Mateen deep in thought. " What are you thinking," I said. He jerked out of his thoughts. " Nothing Princess Alexandra " he replied. " First of all it's Lexi and Second if there was nothing then you wouldn't have been staring at the water like a stone statue " I fired at him. He looked at me shocked. " Okay Lexi, I am worried about this " he raised his hand which held a box. The Silver Dagger of Black Frost. " Why? No ones taking that from you " I tilted my head. " Has anybody ever told you that you're way too innocent " he rolled his eyes. " People do that all the time " I replied. " Well it's important than my life," he stated. " No, it's not " I growled, " Your life comes first ". His expression softened. " You care about me," he said softly. " Yeah, I do " I replied without giving a thought to my words. Then I realized what I just said. " Mateen I- " But before I could say anything he hugged me. That silenced. After some time I returned it. Then we pulled apart. " Thanks for your concerns, Lexi," he said. I smiled to myself as he turned to the box again.

MAYBE, WE COULD HAPPEN...

Kyle's POV:

I sat down looking at the map with the compass in my hand. My head was literally spinning cause every time I navigated the direction with this weird thing it showed a completely different direction. After 990 tries, I just started crying. " Okay you great, great compass I give up. You win. Now please tell me the real direction " I cried. I tried again but the answer this time was far from correct. I threw the compass down and started to scream while pulling my hair.

Prince Ruka and Heir Queen entered the room and looked at me and then at each other. " Have you gone mad? " Prince Ruka asked. " Not completely but soon I will if that thing kept irritating and annoying me " I screamed. Heir Queen raised an eyebrow. " What harm can a little compass bring you, Kyle," she asked confused. " This cute, little compass is giving a completely weird answer every time " I cried. " Try again," Prince Ruka suggested. " I've tried 991 times " I screamed. Heir Queen sighed and Prince Ruka placed his head in his hands. " All you had to do was ask us for a new one," Heir Queen said and they went out. I kept looking at the door and my mind confirmed my suspicion.

I'VE BECAME A MADMAN...
