Nick's Point of View...
"This is like a sleepover," I said. Why don't you tell us all you know about this 'war'.
This is not like any war, usually greedy kings would fight each other for land, gold, or fame. We are fighting something no human should be involved with. My father thinks that I will be killed so that he can have a valid reason to give my cousin the crown. To keep it a secret from his kingdom, king Alexander sacrifice his only son after the dark one started to kill the teenagers who show little 'gifts'. And since the future king of Vandermouth possess the gift of sight and his kingdom was angry at the king, he does the only thing any coward could do... To give up his son.
To save his daughter, he sent her to live in the kingdom of Nethilor because they represented peace. They don't believe in war so they stay out of every war they can. William said.
