”You have your mother's gift, you are a seer, child you have seen what happened in the past. The queen would have been proud.”
As Ralda said that last sentence, the tears she had been holding in flowed freely down her face.
”Ralda, it's okay” Ariana comforted her.
”They didn't die!” Someone said from the audience but more of an assurance to himself than a question or statement to others.
”It's no hope” another person replied.
”There is hope. The chances may look slim but there is hope” Isabel quickly replied.
”You said so yourself, even the Queen knew it was inescapable” the man fired back.
”I would not abandon hope just yet, there must be something” She tried to convince him.
”There is nothing, Queen Isabella was the strongest mage there was. If she couldn't do, then no one can” he spat those words back at Isabel.
”I refuse to accept it. There must be a way. Just because no one has done it doesn't mean no one can.”
”Get a grip of reality Princess. We are all that's left. Where else would you get a mage so strong?”
”Oh I am facing reality and I would be stronger and learn all there is about magic and save them. They didn't give up on me or the kingdom, she had hope and so do I. I wouldn't give up on them.”
She spoke with so much determination in her voice and authority, she was truly the daughter of her parents.
The man was about replying but Lady Vita held up her hand to silence him.
”No more” she turned to face Trevor, ”It has been proven. Now, allow passage through, grant them access” she ordered him.
He didn't bulge, Catherine half grinned as she pressed her knife closer to his throat.
”Don't test my patience Trevor” her voice lingered behind his ear.
”Cathy, lower your weapon. He is friend” Ariadna calmed her daughter.
”Fine” she let go and teleported to Isabel's side.
Trevor rubbed a hand on his neck before steadying himself. He looked around but everyone had a look of approval, he had no choice but to grant them access to the hideout.
He stretched forth his hands and closed his eyes. Slowly he began chanting some spells and a light enveloped Isabel, Jasper, Catherine, Ariana and Ariadna. After some minutes the light dashed towards the door.
There seemed to be a ripple in the open space before the door after a minute the light completely vanished.
