Herceg allowed his feet to guide him. He didn't really pay attention to where he was going. All he knew was this was the right way. 'I'm coming mother,' he thought to himself. 'Just hold on til I get there.'
Iska, the Wind Queen had just walked into the room in time to here Elvron's words. "Is there something wrong with me being here?" she asked him leaning over his shoulder to look down at the maps.

Mayra and Vanessa followed close behind Herceg, checking around them and staying alert as they continued to run.
Elvron almost jumped out of his skin, but he made no move as Iska was right there leaning on his shoulder. Even Mayra was one of the other only few people to sneak on him. "No nothing is wrong with you being here. You were just what we were waiting for."
Judith looked up to see Iska. "Glad to see you came unharmed. I was hoping a better meeting place would be better, but guess that's too late."
Drachen too seemed to pay more attention now. "Now that we are all here can we debate?"

Iska nodded and took her place on the opposite side of the table so that she was facing Elvron. "Let's make this quick please. My kingdom has been under siege for the past several days and it was hard sneaking out to come here. Slaves thought they could revolt against me and so now I took leave of teaching them their place to come here." She cocked her to the side and raised one eyebrow demanding them to tell her everything or else she would leave and not lend them a hand.
Herceg finally stopped at a cave on the border of his home and the territory of the Earth Kingdom. He can't remember how he knew of this cave but something told him he had to go in there. Not noticing Mayra and Vanessa were still with him he entered the cave.

Judith decided to speak up. "Well, Iska, it seems our destroying of the shadow elves was a fail. Seems some survived and the leader has gathered rebels and exiled elves to join them. Lately they have been targeting our nations to cause havoc within them. With our area we noticed a lot of our mining items taken. Even heard they were being black marketed. To hear this is devastating."
Drachen spoke up next. "For the water kingdom we have had no occurrences with any of them. It could happen to us soon. My theory is that they'd target some of the items we have of theirs in storage."
Elvron nodded, placing his hands together. "I heard no word from my parents, but we too have a lot of their weapons and spell books in our possession. We must rid of them before they cause more trouble. Maybe they also have caused the slaves to act up in your kingdom, Iska, but its just my opinion."
Judith looked from Elvron to Iska. "Has anything else came about in your kingdom?"
Mayra and Vanessa paused upon coming near a cave. The two of them stayed alert and began to scent around. Following him deeper Mayra used her night vision to look ahead. Vanessa too whispered to Herceg if he almost tripped over something or was about to enter into a narrow passage.

Iska let out an exasperated snort. "Nothing happened in your kingdom huh?" she nearly laughed looking at Drachen. "As I recall your queen is no longer by your side when she always is. There is your occurrence for you kingdom. They took the one person they could not hide from. The one person who has sent every dark elf who stepped into your kingdom away with the help of your son who I assume is looking for your 'precious' queen." She slowly turned to look at the other two foolish kings. "If I were you, I'd look deeper than what you see before your eyes. There is something you are not seeing that they are doing right under your very noses. Something they are after that we all have a piece of." She stopped to let her words sink into their tiny brains. 'How can their women put up with them?' she thought to herself as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Herceg walked through the cave even though he couldn't see very well. Just when he thought it would never end the cave opened up into a small chamber. In the roof there lay a hole where the light of the moon shone down upon a grave. He couldn't read the writing on it. It was in a language he couldn't understand. From the looks on Mayra's and Vanessa's face, they couldn't understand it either. 'What is this place?' he thought.

Judith, Drachen and Elvron were dumbfounded. Elvron smiled. "Well if they think they can take our homelands and nations than they are in for a lot of hurt."
Judith nodded. "I won't let them destroy us the way we did. We had a good cause to destroy their race. Always causing havoc, suffering and misdoings wherever they went. They never had their own home... they always traveled around."
Drachen's rage began to return from Iska's insults. He didn't want to hear any of this. "Sorry... I need some space right now. Just give me a moment." Without another word he left the room fed up with being around anyone right now. Yet she was right he could only hope his son, Vanessa, and Mayra could find her.
Mayra and Vanessa began to smell around and looked for clues. Mayra thought mind speeching the scene to Elvron could be a good idea, but than she remembered he was busy. Shaking her cheetah head she looked around the chamber for anything that could be pushed or even a small hint of air through a passage way.

"Not so fast water boy I ain't done yet," Iska said using her wind to push the Water King back into the room. "I still have plenty to say and you will hear what I have to say before you go sulk in a corner like a helpless dog." She slammed the doors shut so that none of the kings could leave. "You all forget your history. They don't want our lands or our kingdoms. They want revenge for what we did to them. In order to exact their revenge they need the final piece to their puzzle. The first Dark elf to ever exist. In order resurrect his ass they need four key items. One being Shea due to her knowing the exact location of the place considering it's location has been passed down from guardian to guardian of that silly forest of hers. Two they need the book of resurrection which is among the books your family keeps locked away." She nodded towards Elvron. "Three they need the blood from a descendant of one of the kings who put their glorious leader into the ground. Four they need the ring and crown that once belonged to their leader so that he may have his powers once more. Only problem on that is they both have been taken from the vault in my castle."
Herceg studied the righting on the grave marker. He could feel evil energy radiating from it. If he moved away he could feel the goodness keeping the evil from escaping. Looking up at the moon, he knew this was where he would find his mother yet she was not here. With a confused looked on his face he walked down a side passage until he came out on a cliff overlooking a valley below. There he found multiple tents. He quickly backed up into the cave again and motioned for Mayra and Vanessa to take a look.

Drachen's eyes grew wide. "So my guess is my family line once placed this king to rest. That would mean my son is in danger too!" He ignored the fact he was blown back into the room. If he hadn't it would just cause more chaos among them.
Elvron glared at him. "Relax they still gotta get the book locked away at my kingdom too. We just can't be rash yet act fast."
Judith nodded. "They are close to this and once this happens we are utterly screwed." He began to rub his hands over his face.
Mayra and Vanessa nodded and followed after Herceg. Looking they saw the tents and Mayra gave a silent growl. "More humans or people to deal with. Just great," she whispered. Vanessa sighed. "What exactly should I shift to to check it out?" Mayra glared at her. "Nothing.... we need to make a strategy," she hissed.

"You do not need to worry about the blood," Iska said looking up at the ceiling. "We didn't come from their bloodlines. You want the true blood that put that monster into the grave, go to the Ice kingdom. It was them long ago that put the monster to rest. We just kept it's things. Hopefully these dark elves don't remember that tiny detail otherwise we are literally screwed because the Ice Kingdom is completely defenseless sense the majority of them have been wiped out from the latest plague."
"Don't need one," Herceg told them. He whistled softly onto the wind. A silver winged falcon glided down to land on his arm. He held his arm out to Vanessa so that the falcon was close to her. "Tell him anything and he will deliver your message to my mother. She will tell us everything we need to know through him."

"Well what do we do in the mean time than," Drachen demanded. He was sick of not making some sort of move. He was very impatient.
Elvron listened to everything Iska said. "To think all along she had this hidden. I probably should make haste soon to my kingdom to check on my parents. I am sure they can fight back but I still worry."
Judith looked between them all. "Its sad to hear we lost that kingdom but we won't forget them... rest their icy souls. Anyway a plan of action soon will probably be for the best."
Vanessa smiled at him noticing he was much like Shea. She had forgotten that was his mother. "Alright.. Shea we are on our way to rescue you. Please do not worry." Watching the falcon go Vanessa waited as Mayra looked in the distance. An odd scent had come to her and she didn't like the feeling. It felt strong like a Dark Voider... she hoped they weren't using one.

Iska looked at the three kinds. She waited for them to quiet before she spoke again. "Soon Shea will be back in our possession. It's best if we keep the book under heavy surveillance. I don't want it falling into their hands. As for you two knuckleheads." She nodded to Drachen and Judith. "Send some of your best warriors to protect those still remaining of the Ice Elves. They'll be last thing our enemies target." After that she left the room not waiting for them to say anything. She had already spent to much time away from her kingdom. Now it was time to return to the chaos occurring at her beloved home.
Shea lay on the ground protecting her stomach. For the past several days these people tortured her, demanding that she tell them where to find the one who was buried so close to them. She refused to tell them anything. That creature was put into the ground and that's where it will stay. She knew the truth behind that thing. It was a dark voider. It's the only reason why the Queen of dark voiders would send one of her warriors to help these stupid dark elves. Hearing the approach of wings she looked up to see the falcon she had given Herceg for his birthday when he was a boy. She listened to the message he gave her from Vanessa. She asked the falcon where they were and her face paled. She knew she shouldn't do this considering her situation but right now she didn't care. She needed to get them away from that spot quick. Shea shifted into an ant and moved away from her shackles. Then she changed into a falcon and took off with Herceg's falcon close behind.
Herceg held his arm out the moment he heard the beat of wings draw closer. When a strange falcon landed his arm he yelped when it dug its claws into his arm and pecked him hard on the head. His falcon landed on his shoulder and scolded the one he guessed was his mother. His falcon quieted the moment his mother glared at it. Then she turned her attention to Vanessa and let out a piercing shriek.

Drachen and Judith looked at each other.
Elvron got up. "Well guess the fun just got started. I'll be off to my kingdom now. I'll return shortly don't worry." With that he left the men alone and headed off to his homeland.
Drachen sighed. "Guess I'll gather the best and head them off to the Ice kingdom. We might as well explain the situation to them too if they don't know." Judith nodded in agreement and went to fetch his men.
Vanessa stumbled back upon hearing the falcon screech. She knew it was Shea and she wasn't pleased. Mayra looked at Vanessa and saw her grim expression. Quickly she grabbed Herceg with her teeth and planted him on her back. Without another word, Vanessa planted her teeth in Mayra's tail knowing what was about to happen. Not waiting for a response Mayra used her fast speed and got them out of the area. Once she stopped Mayra huffed hating the fact that now they'd need Dread, Acolzen, and Desmis. Those three were the only help against the other Dark Voider.

Shea let out another piercing shriek when they stopped moving. She fluttered her wings before settling down and falling asleep. She was very tired and she knew she was gonna regret shifting in the next day or so when she shifted back.
Herceg made sure his mother was comfortable on his shoulder as she slept. He looked over at Mayra and Vanessa. "I need to get her home," he told them. He looked at Vanessa. "I think you should come with me otherwise no one will know what my mother is saying. I highly doubt she has the strength to shift back at the moment."

Vanessa nodded. "Well let's hurry back than. We don't want to get caught so soon after saving her." Mayra nodded and again grabbing them she used her speed to drop them to the water kingdom.
Drachen had just finished gathering his men and began to lead them off. He motioned for one of his loyal servants. "If you see my son please let him know it will be awhile before I return. I only hope he found Shea to safety." Than he left without another word.
When Elvron finally reached his home he immediately went to his parents chamber to find the both of them among their many books in a library. They both looked up with a smile on their face.
"Its great to see you son what brings you here," his father asked.
His mother just looked up worried. "Is something the matter?"
Elvron nodded. "Take me to the "item" now."

Herceg watched as his father flew past overhead. He stayed hidden from view making sure that he could not see them. Then he walked through the castle gates and right into his uncle. "Uncle Ulak please save your lectures. Mother isn't feeling good at the moment and our guest is here to make sure she is alright." Without waiting for a reply from his baffled uncle he entered the castle and quickly led the way to his parents chambers. There he set his mother down among the pillows and turned to look at Vanessa. "I leave her in your care. If there is anything you need just let me know and I'll fetch it for you."
