Rose jumped as Vincent, Charlie and Ash appeared in the throne room. “Dios mio, that’s worse than the motion sickness.” She gasped.

Ash acknowledged the room, the Hunting Majors staring up at her in astonishment. “Hey guys, so first off, yeah I’m the Time Wielder Serena wants to kill. Secondly, we need to organize a rescue mission ASAP. Serena is on Gloriana, she has Lucinda and she plans on using her for a sacrifice. We need scouts to go to Gloriana to see if the cult is there.”

Eight people stepped forward. All wearing tracker uniforms.

“Shifters.” Five of them reported.

“Purples.” The other three said.

Vincent stepped forward. “You will be with me. Once we have eyes on the Black Witch’s cult we signal in our distraction.”

“Yellow and Blue mages please step forward.” Rose commanded.

Ten hunters stepped forward.

“Blues.” A group of six said.
