"Dana. I'm about to ask you for a favour and I know you won't like it." David stated"Go ahead, shoot." She shrugged her shoulders."Okay. Just promise me you'll at least try to do it." "You're such a baby. Alright, I promise you I'll do it." She replied. "Thanks. So…I'll need you to return to Ladus." He spoke."What are you trying to do?" She questioned."Relax. I'll only need you to help me get Audrey home. We all know it's me Zelda wants, not the kid, and I can't attempt to leave there with the kid or the rest of the guys, we're all game already. I'll need you to summon Tigra now. Once I get her away from Zelda, you move as fast as you possibly can to Ladus."She frowned, folding her arms. She didn't like the idea of running, but she understood his decision to keep the child away from the oncoming battle. "Alright, I'll do it." She stated."Good, so can you summon Tigra already?" He asked. "Oh, I've summoned her already, she's on her way." "Mind me asking how they get to move

"It is a fight to the death. Only one shall survive." Zelda stated. Both fighters were awed, they were trapped in an unavoidable situation. David took a step forward, calmly stretching his palms in the direction of his opponent. "It's okay Eden. Calm down." He spoke."Calm down?" Eden asked. "If I don't do this, Eder is going to die." He ranted. "I know, but I promise you, I'll get this settled. Nobody is dying today." He whispered. Boos began to echo around the ampitheatre. The audience, all not thrilled by the inaudible conversation between both fighters which bored them. They came for action and weren't getting any. "I suggest you boys satisfy the audience now. If you don't, there is a price to pay." Zelda threatened. "I'm sorry man. I don't have a choice." Eden spoke, picking his Sabre up. The sunlight shone on the golden hilt, reflecting a spot of light in David's eyes. As the latter veered his face off to stop the blinding, he was stunned by a kick to the abdomen. Luckily,

"Tonight is the night." He muttered, taking a deep, heavy breath. The darkness was all around his captive room and he couldn't make out a thing. Even the little holes at the far corners had been patched, leaving no room for light to slip through. He wondered how long he would have to wait till night time. If he had a watch, he would know, but he didn't. He was just stuck in the darkness, awaiting Zelda to yank him out of the cage while he made away from her, or even attempt to kick her ass at the point. It was a plausible plan although he felt it was stupid. To him, all he wanted was to be ahead of them in his escape, not confronting the Knights or Zelda as he did. He wondered if the guys too had the same worries, or they all sensed time pass by naturally and would understand what time it was to escape which would be right before he was taken away from his cage for a public, private or intimately private execution. Any of the three options weren't preferable. He believed he had to fi

"That's the tricky part." Gandu spoke, rising. "You see, I was thinking, maybe there's a psychic connection between David and his dark matter. That connection will leave implants on objects he's used while accessing the dark matter." He continued. "Like his sword, his daggers, his robe, his weapons in general." Dana continued."Yes, so all I am saying is that if we can get anything David used while accessing the dark matter, maybe we can fashion an opening or two that'll help him take down Zelda and her magical hold on Esmeralda." He spoke. "If you don't mind me saying this, David left a long sword for me the last time he was here before the attack. He told me he was going to teach me how to use it to keep myself safe, but I can't handle big weapons, so I kept it. Maybe it will have what you need." Audrey suggested. "That exactly is what we need. Can you bring the sword here?" Gandu asked. She hurried out of the laboratory to get the weapon, leaving both adults to brainstorm on th

Audrey stood in the centre of a forest, sitting with her legs crossed. She took deep, slow breaths and felt the fresh air pump in and out of her system. Her sword laid beside her, the ray of sunlight reflecting off the blade, creating a golden, shining effect that seemed to paint the trees beautifully. It had been two weeks since David and his friends returned from Esmeralda, bearing nothing but assurance that the town would no longer receive attacks from the kingdom again. She on her part had developed a personality of her own since then, ensuring she had to be better with her self defence skills. She grew and David was proud of her, although unlike his friends, he kept leaving Ladus, "completing quests" as he always told her every night he returned. She had decided to spend her days training herself in the forest, sometimes with the adults and the nights helping Doctor Enitan at the residence. Even the doctor had decided to set up a clinic near her residence, training every person
