“Why do you care about how he feels now? You told him no for two years, you don't think he's already hurt?”

“Ellinor!”

Ellinor rolled her eyes, she really didn't expect Rose to call for her so they could have this discussion!

She had better things to do with her time doesn't she? Like sharpening her sword and doing a hundred stretch before dawn…

“Ellinor,please come with me okay? I have to go to this party!”

“Did Master approve?” Ellinor asked

You sound like you're so sure he would survive that horrible place “ “Let's hope he survives” Ellinor said quietly and almost as though saying a prayer.Keith was mortified! He was going to a place where the certainty of his survival was next to none! And his instructor is here doing what? Hoping he would survive it?!How could Ellinor do this? What sort of training did he have to go through that he could teach Keith himself?

    “Welcome to the Jade temple” Keith turned to see three men standing on a podium, all dressed in black and gold robes.Their hair was long enough to touch the ground and a generous lush of silver..“As you all know, you will be staying in the Jade temple and training as well. Congratulations to the ones who were able to make it pass the wall and those that are outside…”The old man smiles in a very cocky way as his eyes landed on Keith..“They might have to fight for their lives!”There was instantly murmuring amongst the men as they begin to wonder what a old man was trying to say…‘It means that they will be fighting with the bears tonight. Hopefully they are able to survive before morning then the gate will be open again..”Keith was flabbergasted and completely shaken by their words.

Then we can ordain our new king..” Amanda was sitting on the throne, facing the court members after hours had passed.Arthur was laid in his room and his funeral will be happening the next day. She didn't waste any more time to get things started.“I understand your fears but prince Keith is nowhere to be found. The guards have searched everywhere for him but no one can find him. He seem to have dropped from the surface of the earth. We can't and I repeat we can't leave the throne empty. We need to do what is right and needful at this minute.” “What are you suggesting that we do then?
