Chapter 9: Remember, you idiot!

Zero's POV

Hayliel drags me to the house only to see it's burning, then we get on the horse, and ride. It's been a couple of hours and we've still have been on this horse. 'Where are we going?' "Capital." 'What's that?' "A place where everyone meets and talks about problems.' And I see it, well, ... Hayliel sends a picture to me. It appears to be big, like ... Avenger's movie? ... Asgard? ... Big giant castle? Ok? We arrive on the outskirts of the area, surrounding the Capital. I hear someone yell to open the gates followed by a large noise. We start moving and I hear someone else next to us. "Hayliel, whose this?" My mate. Has word gotten around?" "Yes, they are waiting for you." "Good, get someone near the bell, we need to be ready for war." "Understood." And with that we entered the courtyard, or that's what she said before she jumped off, grabbed and draged me to what I assume is the throne room. ... No, I didn't know. I then seemed to be placed on one's lap. "Don't worry, Zero, it's me." And I calmed. And this is how the conversation went:

"Now then, anyone know the attackers?"

"Yes, the Onyx Ghosts."

"So, Shawn has returned. Anyone want to guess why?.....No one?"

"I may have a guess."

"Go ahead, Minerva."

" The only person Shawn really cared for was Zero Cadmus, since she took care and became a motherly figure for him, he knows your mate is her and since you say she is her, I can assume based on the information that he is looking for your mate."

"So he wants her. Would we take this as a declaration of war?"

"If he says so."

"Invite him over. We need to have .....a....meeting, I suppose."

"I will schedule it and send them a letter."

"Then meeting adjourned. I will have a talk with my mate to see what to do with this meeting."

And that was it, I was then carried to a room where Hayliel layed me down on the bed and sat next to me. "So, what do you think?" 'Whose Shawn?' "Well,.....he's a student of yours who created this organization that is terrorist group." 'The motive?' "They say it's trying to make the world better in your name." ' My name? Was I that popular?' "As much as me." I was about to ask more before I felt a bit drowsy, and all I heard was screaming and crashes and someone, not Hayliel, pick me up. I felt all my strength leave me, and I plunged into darkness.
