Chapter 57 - Patrolling mission

Inshal sat in the court room where she, Silva and Drin sat early to the meeting that Newlaw has called. Drin kept to himself, looking the map and notes clearly about the big war. Silva just looked at her own notes that she has and an ancent diagram of the dragon egg. Inshal sat with nothing to do, 'so urr now what? I feel extremely out of place' she admitted. Newlaw walked in and not even a minute later everyone else sat, Xzaviar joined Strongmind and looked at Newlaw. "So we need to do something quick with the war and the demons having control over a dragon egg" Newlaw explained but then a warrior walked in.

"I have the reports of demons" he explained but his eyes looked as if they jumped when he looked at Xzaviar.

"Can I have word?" Xzaviar asked with his eye on the warrior.

"Of course" Newlaw nodded and Xzaviar stepped forward.

"Ethens been a while, still have a crush on Clorsh?" Xzaviar twitched his tail and Inshal got a little curious of how he knew his name.

"No, I don't even know who you are" Ethens was clearly lying and his wings began to shiver.

"Xzaviar could you explain how you know each other?" Newlaw asked looking a little pissed at Ethens.

"He's one of the biggest spy's Marlo has on the second council, I used to take all of his reports and gave fake information to tell you but now I've changed" Xzaviar hissed at Ethens and he was panicing.

"Is that so?" Newlaw asked and Ethens went onto his knees confessing his crimes.

"Yes I'm sorry Newlaw, they threatened to kill my sister, I felt like I had no choice and over time it just became routine" Ethens begged for mercy but Newlaw didn't seem to look as if he would go soft.

"Where is your sister? We thought she died in battle" Newlaw asked Xzaviar and Ethens at the same time.

"Well his sister did die in battle, Marlo saw how convinced Ethens was and used it to blackmail him" Xzaviar explained, Inshal began to question how many other spy's Marlo has.

"Did you say anything about me?" Inshal asked feeling as if her cover is blown.

"No, I didn't really know anything about your case, Marlo gave me this because of that" Ethens point to a fresh scare on his arm that he had covered up, "he is furious that you're gone".

"Don't get distracted!" Newlaw raised from him seat, "you have been a spy for the demons!"

"Please, I thought... I just wanted her back" Ethens surrendered, he didn't resist the warriors taking him away to the jail that they had.

"Right back to the original meeting" Newlaw sighed, "demons has been spotted around everywhere so I would like Inshal and Xzaviar with few others, I don't mind who, to see if they know who they are. Do not get caught" he finished and went to talk about a bunch of different problems that has happening due to the lockdown. Some angels love the extra days off but others feel as if this was not necessary and how they should try to convince them that it's needed. It lasted for about three hours and Xzaviar had to sit down and looked as if he wanted to go to sleep. They were finally dismissed and Inshal, Xzaviar, Strongmind and Silva all left to the ledge.

Inshal looked and saw Athens was guarding the ledge again, "off again?" he yawned.

"Yep want to join? we're off stalking demons to see if we know them" Inshal joked but he got up and followed.

"So if it's Dohan demons then they would travel east to west" Xzaviar explained and they took his lead, keeping quiet as they tip toed across the forest and keeping an eye on the field. It was round half an hour when they found a group, Inshal immediately recognised Discord. She was laughing and joking with the soldiers that she had under her control, Inshal thought if she had to fight her would she? 'Discord was so friendly towards me and I know that it wasn't because she was afraid of Marlo because she challenges Marlo' Inshal thought and Silva gave a concerned look to her.

Inshal smiled at her and nodded, "that's Discord" she whispered so quietly that she could barly hear herself. Silva nodded and Xzaviar moved ahead, Inshal could hear more up ahead and she follows. 'I wonder is this is how he feels' Inshal realised as they have been apart of the same kingdom for who knows how many years. Inshal got a glimps at another group, they were a little different but she couldn't place it. She couldn't recognise a singal one and she looked at Xzaviar, "they are Constons demons" Xzaviar explained but a bitterness in his voice when he looked at the obvious genral. "That's Kumano" he spoke but then moved on. They walked for a good ten minute with nothing, not a trace of anyone else or another group.

"I guess we are good to go home then" Athens said with a bit of a disappointed in his tone of voice.

"Yeah I can't see anything else" Xzaviar agreed but then an arrow was shot and just about missed Athens.

"Hey!" he screeched and grabbed his sword.

"Well it has been while Xzaviar" Kumano laughed behind them and Inshal dashed but an arrow made it's way to her leg. She screamed but then saw Discord and her soldiers dashed over, Discord looked up to see Inshal and she had a mixed look of happiness and confusion. Discord looked back and saw the other demons and she joined the fight. The Constons retreated after seeing a few of their soldiers fallen and Discords had her soldiers surrounding the angels.

"Xzaviar! quick while you can, run!" she called out but Xzaviar only grabbed one of the swords of the other kingdom and glared at her. Inshal landed next to Silva.

"Never!" Xzaviar snarled and the confusion grew on her face.

"My goodness they hypnotised you and Inshal haven't they!?" Discord guessed. Xzaviar shook his head and revealed his wings, almost all of the left one has faded and half of the right one is now faded, most of his scales has fallen out and revealed soft skin.

"Marlo is hiding more secrets that you and I can't find out easily" Xzaviar spoke and Discord gripped her blade a little tighter.

"You traitor!" Discord screamed but then her horns glowed and dark, thick fog made it so Inshal couldn't see her own snout infront of her.

Inshal dashed for her sent though, chasing until he was able to punce on her and pinned her to the ground, she surprised by her own strenjgth. "Get of me! you fake little slut!" Discord snarled with a hiss, her tail slashing for her but Xzaviar was able to help pinn her. Discords gards looked a little conflicted, 'with all this commotion they must be confused who is the traitor, their queen or their genral'.

"The deal is you coem with us without a fuss or you die" Xzaviar hissed once he had Discord tied, "there are a lot more then just one warrior with us". They looked at each other in silence but then dropped their weapons, had their hands up and followed.

"I wonder what Newlaw would think when we come back with a full army" Strongmind joked and Xzaviar had Discord chained, "you just have chains on you?".

"Yeah never know when they'll come in handy" Xzaviar had a soft smile for a demon and Athens looked a little uncomfortable and Silva had cuddled up to Inshal.

"So this is the big queen that Marlo has fallen head over hills for, what a slut" Discord mocked and Silva gave a very pissed look, "I mean, everyone know that you and Marlo has had quite a lot of sex but yet you have a relationship here".

"If you don't shut up I'll make sure you wish you never was born!" Silva threatened and Inshal felt a little attracted to her just then.

"Alright, alright calm down just sharing my opinions, an I not allowed to do that here?" Discord continue to pleg and Inshal saw what she was doing.

"Don't let her get the best of you, that's how she wins" Inshal used her wing to hug Silva, seeing the joulsy grow. 'I started the autumn single with no-one that I could think of that likes me to the winter where I can name around 4 individuals constantly getting joules of one another' Inshal thought. They didn't take long to find the ledge, "I'll get Newlaw" Silva offered and took of. Inshal looked at Discord who looked pissed and betrayed.

"You know I actually liked you" Inshal said and Discord gave her a look to say 'I'm not licensing'. "For all of the demons there you were more likable" she continued, "I mean definitely better Zeven".

"Don't flatter me!" Discord yelled and they waited.
