“We can try and stop it,” Dream says, “if we find out where the tunnels that they are building are, we can collapse the tunnels”.
“Maybe we can try and detect the Goblins and impede them from continuing.” Hope suggests as she sits forward.
“How are we going to do that?” Reality asks with a frown, “if we try to collapse the tunnels that the Goblins are building, we might collapse the singing tunnels.”
“Would you be able to hear them digging underground if you got near enough?” Vain asks me as everyone knows how sensitive my senses are.
“I could, but how would you know?” I ask because there is no way that we are letting the princesses out of the tunnels until we are sure it is safe.
“Hope?” Vain calls.
“Yes, I can direct us,” Hope says excited.
“What are we missing?” Brok asks what all the men are thinking as the sisters have the habit of talking in riddles which usually confuses the hell out of everyone else.
“What they are saying is that Hope is linked to you, therefore she should be able to track you with her senses and then direct our energy towards where you are which should be enough to collapse the tunnel that you find,” Dream explains with a grin.
“You can track me?” I ask surprised.
Hope looks over at me, her chin rising a clear sign that she is still angry. “Yes, why is that a problem?” I raise both my hands in surrender not wanting to upset her more than she already is.
“Does this mean that everyone thinks that Toron was trying to get us out of here so he could take over the Singing tunnels, like that we don’t have anywhere to hide?” Reality asks.
“Yes” I reply confident that this is the better plan as my wolf seems calmer now that we have identified this ruse that Toron was cooking up.
“What about Love?” Reality asks.
“Once we stop the Goblins from flooding these tunnels, we can concentrate on saving Love,” I state.
“What if he hurts Love because we have destroyed his plan?” Dream asks with a concerned expression.
“He won’t hurt Love as I think the goal is to have the five of you to be able to do his bidding.” I explain. ”Now, I need to go and find Darius and tell him about our plan before they do something that will impede us from following through with what we have agreed.” I get up to follow Darius to find Brok falling into step with me.
“I’ll join you if the meeting is finished,” I nod but as we walk out of the cavern and further down the tunnel, he stops me with a hand to my forearm.
“I think there is more going on here than what we are seeing,” I turn to face him knowing that if he found the need to follow me and talk away from the others it is something that he thinks someone, or all shouldn’t hear.
“Like what?” I ask.
“Everyone always says that there is no power like the power of five, that is the five princesses together, but what we don’t ask ourselves is what exactly that power looks like.” I frown trying to understand where he is going with this. “What I am trying to say is that their power can still be shifted for evil and not for good, maybe that is what the Warlock is trying to do, because if they turn their power to evil, it will destroy everything and everyone.”
“They wouldn’t do that,” I state confident that the girls are pure of heart.
“Yes, now they are but if Love gets affected with his evil, that energy affects the others too because as you saw today, they are linked, and that link is dangerous.”
“They are strong, I believe that they can fight the evil that will try to penetrate them,” I say, but the seed of uncertainty has been sowed, it is something that I need to think on and figure out if something like that does happen how we can stop the sisters from destroying everything and everyone.
“I hope you are right,” Brok says as he slaps my back in friendship before taking his leave. I make my way towards where I know the Dragon Kings home is, my mind now in turmoil thinking of how I can protect the girls, but mainly how can I protect my beautiful Hope if evil tries to take her from me.
HOPE 11
The plan is set, and everything is in motion. Trek will be leaving tonight under the cover of darkness to get as close to the Goblins as possible to work out the path of the tunnels. Brok has offered to accompany him which calms my soul knowing that Trek has someone at his back for protection. We also know that Brok is not a creature that can be locked up here with so many others as it must be driving him crazy, he likes his open spaces as he is a solitary soul.
I know that it will take a couple of hours before Trek and Brok reach the camp, the others have gone to bed to rest but I can’t sleep knowing that Trek is out there in danger. I should have gone to speak to him before he left, I want to know why it took him so long to tell me that we are mates. Is he embarrassed about me being his mate? Doesn’t he like me in that way? Does he think I am too young for him?
I shake my head in annoyance at my thoughts, these are all questions I have that are running through my mind. I wanted to know if Trek liked me as much as I did him, now I don’t know what to do with the information he gave me.
I know that as mates we are destined to be together, that our bond grows stronger together than apart, but what happens when he must go back to his people? Closing my eyes I concentrate of Trek’s energy trying to find him in the darkness of the night, it takes me a few minutes but I soon feel his strong presence.
