All the kids had lunch in silence. No one said anything about the disappearance of Derek. Queen Kendra was silent too. She would just smile at whoever would look at her. After the lunch, Scarlett pulled Zane aside and asked him to do something.

Zane knocked at the door, and Queen Kendra opened it. He was accompanied by six guards.

"What is it, my dear?",asked Queen Kendra

"I just want to talk to you about something",said Zane, "But your guards insisted on coming with me"

Queen Kendra gestured at the guards to wait outside and she invited Zane inside.

"Tell me, what's bothering you?",she asked

"Ummm....so, you see, my friend is missing and I can't find my friend anywhere. I thought you might know where my friend is"

"And what makes you think I know where he is?",she asked

"Because I didn't say if it was a 'he' or a 'she' ,yet you know who I'm talking about",said Zane smiling.

Queen Kendra laughed

"Oh dear......I have no idea what you're talking about. I thought you mentioned it wh

You must be aware that there are 7 realms. Technically there were 8 realms Earth, Helmfirth, Erstonia, Ebraxas, Craburn, Icosall, Byrandan, Pamlivam but, Ebraxas was........ destroyed so now, there are only 7 realms""Wait, you know about Byrandan?",asked Zane curiously"Well yes.......",said the woman. "The kings and queens of every realm have a treaty. The realms have a treaty never to wage war against each other. Queen Isabella always hated the treaty, she's the queen from Erstonia and she hates Queen Kendra. She's always wanted to attack Helmfirth but.....you know, the treaty kept her from doing it""And now?", asked Natalie. "Well, you see..... Pamlivam was

    Zane followed Natalie. He called out her names a couple of times but, she didn't stop. She went right inside her room and closed the door. "Natalie! Natalie! Please come out. I need to talk to you!", shouted Zane, banging on the door."Zane! Not now!", Natalie shouted. "Either you open this door right now! Or I break it!",he retortedNatalie opened it. Her eyes were red and so was her nose. "What do you want Zane?",she asked"To talk""About?""About what just happened out there. I'm not planning on going out there alone!

Please.....please just....just let me go!",said Zane, now crying."The manipulation won't work Zane. All tbe werewolves are blood hungry on the night of full moon. You are, too.

Now stop avoiding the topic and answer my question , what are you going to do?",asked Natalie"I... I'm going to find my people!", replied Zane. They were sitting near the river in Helmfirth. The scenery was beautiful but, Natalie was more interested in knowing what Zane was about to do."I'm gonna find our people",Zane promised. "But that's not what I want", replied Natalie"Then what?""I.....I want you to be safe Zane. I know and you know it too that it's extremely dangerous, going into the forest of deception!""It's a risk I have to take""Why are you so intent on finding them?!""Because my mother might still be alive!",muttered Zane.

    "And that's it",Zane said,after explaining everything. He had told them all about his home planet. How his father died, how he came to earth, how he and Natalie hid their secrets and how they would sneak out of the orphanage every month on the night of the full moon, how he found out he was an alpha, what he needed the rope for and how he needed to go find a way to his kingdom or wherever his people are."You kept a secret that big, from us?!",shouted Laurel.

    Laurel opened the book and there were big pictures of kingdoms and smiling sun and happy trees and there were five to six sentences in one page."It's a children's book",said Laurel to herself and she read the first chapter out loud.Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The kingdom of Elysium. It was like heaven on Earth. All the creatures, from goblins, to werewolves to vampires to fairies and dragons and humans, and all other beings lived there. The most beautiful kingdom. The king of Elysium, had four daughters and four sons. The king was also in possession of an item 'The sword of Bane'. That sword was the only item keeping the kingdom together, because it was said to have the greatest power and anyone wielding it, was said to possess great power and every kingdom would follow the ruler in possession of the sword. Because only the worthy can find it. But the king soon lost the sword and there was chaos in his kingdom. The children of the king did not like each other and that was

Ofcourse we will all help you look for your people""They are not just my people...they are yours too""Yes I know",said Natalie. "So, are you calm? Because, we need to come up with a plan to find Derek, now that we know about the kingdoms and the forest"Zane nodded and said,"Yes ofcourse.....I was just mad because everyone is blindly so convinced that all of my people are dead!""I know they are not",said Natalie smiling and hugging him.

    Zane went to his room and pocketed his lead knife and his locket. He sat on his bed, looking out of the window, staring at the forest of deception, fighting the urge to go running inside the forest. There was a knock on the door and Zane opened the door to two other guards and looked at them and shrugged. "What?""Queen Kendra, wants us to take you near the forest of deception. She wants to show you something""Wait, is that where you all took Natalie?!",asked Zane in an alarming voice"No",they replied."But you need to come with us now"Zane nodded and followed them. Maybe they wanted to show Zane something that might help him find his people. The walk from the palace to the forest was long but Zane was very excited, so it didn't seem long to him. Finally they reached the forest and Zane asked,"So, what are we doing here? What did the queen want me to see?" The Soldiers didn't answer, they just kept on going forward inside the forest, Zane knew it wasn't safe but he kept going fo

    *1 month later*Zane, the king of Elysium, had a very lonely life. Yes, he was a king, but he had no queen. He had cleared out his feelings with Natalie and now there were no hard feelings between them. Natalie had understood that Zane didn't like her like that anymore. Laurel was too in love with her husband, Liam. "Miracles happen",Zane had said to himself when he heard about Laurel and Liam. Daisy was still under the effects of the Forgetting potion. Zane had not talked to her since he had last left Pamlivam, but now that all the kingdoms were merged together, Zane saw her almost everyday. She went on with her life and Zane thought it was for the better.But one day, he crossed paths with Daisy and she bowed her head and said,"My king" and then started to walk away.It was weird, but Zane pulled Daisy in for a hug.Daisy was scared, but she went on with it."Are you okay, my king?",she asked, concerned. "Please remember me",said Zane, unable to control himself anymore. "Please"

    *Present day*When Zane walked out of the cave with the sword in his hand, he was a better man. He was radiating power, he was more confident, more powerful than ever before. Scarlett nodded at him when she saw him and said,"Hand over the sword Zane""The sword has chosen me",said Zane"It doesn't work like that",said Scarlett. "I've been working hard to find this sword. You do not get to steal my glory from me""You are not after glory, Scarlett",said Zane, wisely. "You want to bring back your dead mother....you can't do that"Scarlett's face paled. "I can and I will. Now hand over the sword.""Take it from me",he said.Scarlett did not hesitate. She toon out her own sword and said,"May the sword belong to whoever wins"At that very moment, the forest rumbled. The ground shook. The trees were disappearing. "Run", shouted Mick, leading them all out of the forest. Zane gripped the sword tightly and ran out. The trees were falling down. Soon, they were out of the forest. All the trees

    *Present day*It was beautiful. Probably one of the most beautiful things Zane had ever seen, apart from Daisy. The sword of Bane stood there, embedded in stone. It radiated light. Pure light. Zane could feel its power in his veins. He felt like the sword was calling out to him. Zane had tears in his eyes, they were not there because Zane was emotional, but because the light was too powerful for Zane to be directly staring at it.It looked like a regular sword, with a blue stone embedded at the hilt of the sword. The blade was blackish and looked very sharp.Zane reached his hand out to hold the sword when he heard a sound behind him. Zane turned around to see his father standing there."Dad?",gasped Zane. "You've come such a long way Zane",beamed his father. He looked pale and grey. Another figure formed beside him, it was his mother. "How are you, my son?",asked his mother. "I- I'm good mom",said Zane, this time, with tears of sadness. "I miss you both"Another figure solidifie

    *Present day*There was small cave and a bulky figure was standing at the entrance. It was Mick. His face lit up when he saw them. "Hey guys!",he said, smiling at them. There were several fresh cuts on his face, but he didn't seem to mind. He then looked at Zane and froze. "Zane! Oh my God!"He went over and hugged Zane and Zane hugged him back. "It's good to see you""You too",said Zane."I'm going to need to hear everything, Zane",said Mick, then turning around and looking at Scarlett and bowing down, he breathed out, "My queen""Is this the cave?",asked Scarlett"It is",said Mick. "Yang and I have been searching for this cave for two years, and we found it. The sword of Bane lies inside. But we can't enter""Why not?",asked Scarlett. "There is a protective layer of something invisible here",said Mick, touching the entrance of the cave, it looked as if there was nothing there, but Mick's hand and touched something hard in the air. "Have you found out how to get inside, yet?",aske

    *Present Day*Zane was looking at the different kind of weapons in the armory. Laurel and Natalie were packing their bags. Scarlett's bag was already packed.They were planning on heading towards the forest of deception. Mick had sent a message explaining something weird going on in the forest that could probably lead to the sword of Bane. "How do we know where Mick is, exactly?",asked Zane"He sent out a signal from his scroll. We just need to follow the signal with ours",said Laurel, handing Zane a weird square device. That showed a red dot in the forest and Zane supposed that's where Mick was. Soon all of them were done packing their bags. Zane, Laurel, Natalie followed Scarlett out of the doors. No guards accompanied them. It was supposed to be a secret mission. Natalie kept glancing at Zane. But she couldn't muster the courage to talk to him. As soon as they were about to enter the forest, Natalie held Zane's hand and said,"I'm sorry Zane.....I don't remember killing your m

    *Present day*It was a tempting offer. A very tempting offer. Could the sword really have that much power? Could it really bring back the dead? Could it bring back his people? Derek? Could he see him again? His mother. His father. He looked at Scarlett, she did not look like she was lying. He did not smell any lies. "If I tell her everything, what's the worse that could happen?",Zane thought to himself. He could not think of any reason bad enough to not take a chance. "Okay",said Zane finally."I will tell you everything that happened to me....but I need your word that you will help me find the sword""Yes, you have my word. But I will be the one bringing back the dead, because I will be wielding the sword once you will help me find the sword.""Deal",said Zane. He took a deep breath and started with his story. He really told her everything. His entire journey. He told her how he met Derek, how he ended up in Pamlivam, how Daisy found out he was a vampire and how everything from th

    *Present day*When specks of light fell through Zane's window inside his little cell, he made out that it was morning and that he should probably wake up. He looked around and there was nothing other than a roughly made, very uncomfortable bed, and a bottle of water. He got up and gurgled with the warm water for a while and drank the rest. He found a nice corner and started doing warm-ups there and then did a whole lot of hard-core exercises. "That's so unlike you Zane",came a voice from the shadows.Zane was startled but he tried to hide it. "What are you doing here Scarlett?" "This is my kingdom. I can go anywhere I want to""You sure can. Why didn't you return to your family?",asked Zane curiously"This kingdom, this palace, it just felt like home""No, Scarlett this is not your home. These are not your people, your folks will think you died. And the only reason you stayed is because you got addicted to power. Accept it""Yes....power, it is a very interesting thing, very hard

She simply tilted her head and looked at Zane with more curiousity. Zane had to take a long look at Scarlett's face to comprehend that she was infact not sleeping, it was dark where she was sitting. The light wasn't reaching her face. The throne was placed in an elevated platform and there weren't any torches there. Scarlett stood up and walked a few steps and the light fell on her face. Zane stifled a gasp. Her face had scratches all over. And she had put red paint on both her cheeks with two fingers."Uh....cool make-up",said Zane, staring at Scarlett. "How've you been?""Why are you here Zane?",asked Scarlett, ignoring Zane's question. "I..... I've returned, my friend. What do you mean 'why are you here'? I-I came back!",said Zane"I am not your friend. Once you leave Helmfirth....there is no return",

"Why did you lock the door?""Ever heard of privacy?",asked Zane sarcastically"No, I mean yes, but you never lock your door during the daytime",said Natalie"Then I guess there are things about me that you don't know",said Zane"The queen has demanded to see you",said Natalie."Yes, and I would like to see Scarlett too. It's been a minute since we last had a chat.

"What are you going to do in there for ten minutes?""It's none of your business Natasha", replied Zane"It's Natalie",she said fiercely. "Oh yeah?",mocked Zane. "Because Daisy told me otherwise""D-Daisy?",said Natalie, smiling. "You met her?""Yes",
