Once Drachen and the others reached his meeting hall, the guards stayed put at the double doors. Judith eyed them immediately and they left the room.
"Sorry for my guards, I normally would have them around me during such meetings, but for this once I trust Drachen and his bloodline very much. Its why I came to your kingdom before the others. Apparently this is a growing problem within all our nations. I am very much grateful to hear your kingdom hasn't been affected by them yet. They are growing slightly in numbers and doing their best to destroy the elf nations we know and love. Most of the convicts are rebels or even exiled/ expelled members of all our nations who have begun to master black magic and darkness. Our nations made sure the Shadow elves were destroyed and no survivors were left. You well know we took all their books and any and all items of theirs and kept them under heavy guard... some were destroyed or had strong spells placed on them. For now its all our duties to make sure this small band is destroyed as well. Sadly they are far stronger than we thought.....," Judith explained showing on the table a layout map of all the elf nations.
Drachen listened in silence taking it all in.

"Unlike you all we have had no such problems," Shea said focusing on the fire elf king. She knew Herceg would keep an eye around them in case of some hidden attack. "I have discouraged the majority of them pretty quickly before they could even try anything. Yet here we are for the third time on our third visit to another kingdom. I personally am not surprised since the other kingdoms asked for our help as well." Shea rolled her eyes before continuing. "You might as well do what the other kingdoms have, start praying for a miracle." She turned to look at Drachen. He knew that she had a past with many people considering she has killed pretty much any trespasser that stepped foot in her old home. She could give him better information about their enemies than any of these idiot kings could. 'No offense to you Elvron,' she thought to herself.

Judith eyed Shea,trying to not glare, but taking in her words. Drachen cleared his throat. "Um just tell us what you need us to do and I know my kingdom will come when I call for their aid if need be," Drachen said.
"That's not the problem. For now we have no clue where they are. Their dark magic as grown so strong over the years and I fear my asking for your help wasn't good. I should have thought much better in case they would attack your home now. I think the best motion right now is have a meeting with all kings of each nation as soon as possible. They won't like it, but its for the best," Judith explained.
Drachen nodded. "Seems fair with me. Least we can have everyone on high alert."

Shea traded looks with Herceg. They both knew very well that there was a high possibility of a war breaking out between the kings alone at a meeting like this. It might not be right away but there will be arguments. Shea closed off all emotions as she went deep into thought. 'The shadow elves huh,' she thought to herself. 'Why do I have a feeling I know their leader?' Shea excused herself from this meeting and walked over to a balcony overlooking the castle courtyard. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice the person come hiding in the shadows. Later she would kick herself for not paying attention to her surroundings.
Herceg looked around the room as his parents spoke. When his mother excused herself he half listened to the conversation between his father and the fire elf king. He decided to join his mother after getting bored with the conversation between the two kings. Just when he excused himself to the two, he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned to look at the balcony where his mother was just as he saw someone jump off the balcony with his unconscious mother. "MOTHER!" he cried racing to the balcony. When he looked over the edge there was no sign of the two.

Drachen and Judith were still debating over the idea, when suddenly they heard Herceg's scream. Drachen immediately went to his sons side. "What's wrong? Where is your mother," he demanded. His anger and rage were off their limits and he could feel pain in his heart for not seeing this coming. He even felt guilty for not keeping an eye on her. Judith came to join them and his face grew stern. "Why of all the -," he growled. He immediately looked over at one of the nearest guards.
"Look over this place top to bottom. Make sure she is found. I will not have our guests rattled like this. I definitely don't want a bad name for our kingdom. Go go go," Judith hissed at them. Looking back at Drachen and Herceg he frowned. "I assure you we will find her. If you'd like we can go ourselves."
Drachen looked at the fire elf king. "I trust your words. Let's make haste than."

"Father I want to go visit Elvron and Mayra," Herceg said grabbing his fathers arm as he walked past. "Maybe they can help find her." He stared at his father as anger rolled off him in waves. He wasn't gonna take no for an answer even if it meant disobeying his father.

Drachen so badly wanted to slap his son across the face. His anger was boiled to the point of no return. His lover's life was on the line and he didn't want to put his sons out there too. "Enough just get out of my sight. Do whatever it doesn't matter," he growled shoving his arm out of his sons grasp. He clearly didn't want his friends to know the ordeal, but it'd be too late now. His son was rash and stubborn like Shea and he just had to give in. No arguing could help. Looking at Judith he said "Alright let's just focus on the Dark shadow elves for now. We are bound to find sources somewhere."
Judith nodded eyeing him in a way that said "Are you sure?" and Drachen shrugged unsure if he was even thinking clearly anymore.

Herceg gave his father a glare before he took off. He may not be able to fly yet but he still remembers what his mother taught him. Disappearing into the nearby woods he took his mother's lessons to heart. He ran swiftly and quietly, staying out of sight of others. He relied upon his instincts as he made his way to his mother's old home. Just when he was beginning to think he was lost he saw markings his mother described to him in her stories about her old home. He picked up his pace until he almost ran past the home of Mayra and Elvron. Catching his breath he pounded on the door not caring that it was past sun down.

Mayra was just getting ready to lay down with Elvron when a strange banging upon the door stopped her. Who the hell is this, she thought. Elvron looked back at her and shrugged. Joining Mayra, the both of them went downstairs and answered the door to see a strange teenager who looked like Drachen. Before Mayra could ask a question Elvron grabbed the boy inside in horror.
"Oh gosh please tell me you weren't turned into a teenager or even came from the past," Elvron screeched. Mayra rolled her eyes and face palmed. Dread was nearby titling his head and only said "Nearm". Mayra pulled Elvron away from the lad and slapped him across the back of his neck. "You idiot... its their son Herceg." Psying attention back to the boy Mayra cleared her throat. "Now what's wrong lad? What as brought you to us at such a late hour?"

"Shadow Elves took Mother," Herceg said hiding behind Dread. No matter what Elvron always acted strange every time he saw him. "We were visiting the Fire elves when she was taken from their castle. I came to ask for your help. Also father and the fire elf king plan to call a meeting of the kingdoms." On the inside he felt broken, he was falling apart but he knew he had to stay strong for his mother's sake. "Can you help us?" he asked them. He noticed a girl a couple years older than him coming down the stairs but paid little attention to her as he awaited Mayra's answer.

Mayra listened to everything Herceg said, taking it in seriously. She looked at Elvron and his face seemed baffled.
"Wait what?!!," Elvron growled. "Is your father mad? All of us kings are unpredictable when we are together and we hate each other. There's no way we can be in the same room." He shivered at his last sentence. "Plus one of the kings is actually a female or should I say queen. She's a crazy bitch. Bad enough Judith could burn our asses."
Mayra rolled her eyes. "Anyway we will help with whatever you need. You can count on us."
Vanessa was coming down the stairs when she heard the commotion. She saw Herceg and glared seeing another Drachen. Upon hearing something bad about Shea, her face grew light in fear. "Grandma, please let me help find her?"

Herceg finally turned to the new comer. Looking at her he saw a bit of Mayra in her. If he remember from the stories his mother told him, this would be Vanessa, the one who had the opposing powers of his mothers. His eyes grew wide and he hid further behind Dread. "I don't care who helps as long as my mother is found," he said. "She hasn't been her self lately and I don't want her to be dealing with anything on her own. Especially not with all this crap going down."

Vanessa eyed Herceg surprised at his last few words. She hasn't been acting like her self lately. That definitely caught her off guard. Was something wrong with Shea? Or was so much on her mind she was stressed? "Well don't worry. I will find your mother.. I won't let my mentor fall so easily."
Mayra looked at her granddaughter. "Are you sure you should leave the forest?"
Vanessa nodded. "Yes my friends can protect it for awhile. I know Shea won't be pleased to hear I am a part of this task but I want her found."
Mayra nodded and she looked at Elvron. "You have any ideas who may have took her?"
Elvron nodded. "Upon hearing these "Shadow elves" I recall someone admits them that I never liked and I have a feeling they are the leader now. Follow me and I'll lead the way."

"I'm not going with you," Herceg said moving out from behind Dread. "Father will blow a gasket but I don't give a damn. Mother would understand why....at least I think she will. She always told me to follow my instincts and they are telling me I know where to find her. All I have to do is remember. Mother has taught me so much but right now I can't think straight so it might take me some time." He turned to look at Elvron. "You might wanna go to that meeting I told you about. Father looked ready to rip everyone's head off when I left." After that he left. He didn't care if anyone followed but right now he felt he needed to be on the move.

Elvron and Mayra nodded and watched him go. Vanessa looked at Mayra.
"Seems we will have to follow him. Good luck with the meeting granddad," Vanessa said and ran off after Herceg, shifting into her cheetah form. Mayra kissed Elvron, placing her hand on his cheek. "Good luck, I'll be back soon. Have fun," she called and shifted cheetah too following after them.
Elvron sighed and began to head towards the fire elf kingdom. After a few days journey he reached them to find the guards easily let him in as if they expected him. He immediately went to Judith's meeting chambers to find Drachen and Judith over a map of the world. "Hello fellas, what seems to be the problem this time?"
Judith sighed. "Greetings to you too, Elvron. Its a wonder why your parents let you lead when they are still alive and home at their kingdom."
Elvron ignored the comment and looked at Drachen. He looked half in the room. His hair had become a mess. "Look man... Mayra, Vanessa, and Herceg are looking for her."
Drachen wasn't paying attention. "Well if your here we just need the Wind Queen."
Elvron shook his head. "No way... please not her."
