Chapter 10 " The Campsite Battle

Lexi's POV:

Night used to be peaceful but here is a possibility of attacks. Even though Raven has set up a barrier and the watch's been kept by turns. Mostly Ruka keeps watch as he is a Luronian and suffers from Insomnia. I got up from my futon and walked to the area where the watch was being kept. Ruka sat there as still as a stone statue. It seemed like it was normal for him. The cold wind blew past me making my long blonde hair scatter in the wind. It was nice. " Aren't you tired of keeping watch?" I said approaching Ruka. He didn't move. " No " was his simple answer. " Not much talkative " I nodded. " Ruka here's the coff-..... Lexi? " Raven stopped. She then came towards the rock and gave Ruka a cup of what seems like coffee to me. " What are you doing over here at this time of night? " Raven asked. " I couldn't sleep " I replied. Raven nodded. "Let's go to the map room then," she said. " Okay," I said. She looked at Ruka and then we walked inside.

" So what is the plan for tomorrow," I asked. " Nothing just gonna follow the route " she replied wrapping paper on the staff in her hand. " And besides-" she started but stopped as her gray eyes changed their color to death green. " There's an attack," she told me and ran out of the room. I followed her. A sword came flying my way. There were hundreds of knights out there and the crew has already started fighting. I came to the battlefield and that's when the fight started.

BRING IT ON...

Maya's POV:

I ran out of my tent at Ruka's message. The crew was fighting but the knights were hundreds. One to fifty. It was hard. We all fought with our whole hearts. But nothing changed as they have already got us outnumbered.

In the end, Lexi's sword broke and the knights held a dagger to her neck. Kyle and Asher fell to the ground. Both pointed their swords at the knights around them as they (knights) also did. But none attacked. Ruka stood dead still as a snake, similar to cobra, slithered up his leg. Mateen's back hit the tree and he stopped with his sword still pointed at his opponents. Brave Fellow. Mine and Queen's backs were hit with each other. We pointed our swords at the circle around us. I then threw my sword and raised my hands. I looked at Queen. She nodded. I took a deep breath and said those words:

" Alimara, Freeze everything in time "

And everything froze. Except for the crew, obviously. " So that's your power for which people thought of you as dangerous " Asher said. " Unfortunately Yes " I replied. Queen opened the Black Frost portal. She threw all the Knights in it and then closed the portal. " Where have you thrown them to " I asked." Null Land " she replied. I chuckled and took the cobra off from Ruka's leg. I tossed it in the bushes and then chanted.

" Alimara, Unbolt the Lock "

With that everything became back to normal." Lets see what to do now " Daya said walking to the tent. we all followed her.

Mateen's POV :

Raven chose the fourth route. It's dangerous and difficult but the quickest and fastest. We gathered our stuff and waited for Raven's command.

Raven came towards us and said

" Kyle I have heard you studied navigation ". " Aye Heir Queen " Kyle confirmed the rumors. Raven rolled her eyes and said, " You love my title so much I guess. Anyways As you studied this particular subject you will handle the Navigation ". Kyle nodded at this and mumbled an Aye.

I was next in the line. " Matty you will be protecting this weapon ". She showed us a silver dagger coated with dragon blood and mistletoe. By the first look, it seemed important. " What is so special in this dagger Heir Queen," I asked confused. " This little thing here," she said picking up the dagger from the box " Is the Silver Dagger of Black Frost. It is and always will be the only weapon in the universe that can seal the Lord of Darkness, Haydrixin ".

She stood in front of Asher and said " Asher you will do the spying, become my eyes and ears when we stop at some point ". "As you wish, Trouble " he replied.

She went towards Prince Ruka. " You will help me with hunting and finding a place to stay ". " Your wish is my command," Prince Ruka said. Sometimes I feel jealous of him.

" Lexi you will accompany Mateen," Raven said and she nodded.

And the only one left was Maya. " Maya you will do the same work as Jay but will go a different way. And you must only use your powers when I tell you to " Raven commanded. Maya placed her hands on Raven's shoulders. "As per your command milady," she replied.

And after the sorting of duties, we set the course for The Realm of the Lost Souls.
