All siblings teamed up and did a good job bugging their parents till they agreed. 'Alright alright, you guys can go but three of the guards will accompany you, and you guys must be back before sundown. Is that clear?' Lucius who couldn't bear any more of the children's constant bugging suddenly gave in. 'Yes Daddy', they all said in unison while smiling from ear to ear.
'Brandon, Lucas, Jadon' the king called out to them and quickly they all came rushing in, 'Yes Your Majesty' Brandon replied on behalf of the others. Brandon is a light-skinned man with black hair as thick as ebony and eyes complimenting his hair color, he has a broad chest, is a skilled swordsman but not as skilled as his king, and he possesses earth magic. 'I want you three to escort the kids while seeing what's outside the walls of this palace and make sure they're back before sundown. Is that understood?' the king asked. 'Yes Your Majesty' they all said in unison and with that, the guards escorted them out of the palace.

'Oh my God, this place is so beautiful' Alicia said with mouth wide open while the others agreed all while staring at the environment, The guards couldn't help but smile at their facial expressions. 'Lucas' Cassandra called out, 'yes Your Majesty Lucas replied the princess. Lucas is a tall guy, has pale skin, blue hair like the oceans and eyes as green as nature, a broad chest, and a smoothly carved face, he possesses black magic and wind magic, although he doesn't know how to use the black magic cause it's considered the most powerful and dangerous amongst all, and also a skilled swordsman. 'Why's that man looking dirty, and sitting on the floor?' the naive princess asked pointing to an old man sitting at the corner of the street who looked dirty, 'he's a beggar my princess' Lucas replied to her.
'Who or what's a beggar' Orion asked. 'A beggar is someone who is homeless and survives by asking people for money or food my prince' This time Jadon replied to the young prince. Jadon is average height, he's 18, the youngest guard, has a perfectly built body, fair, has black hair and red eyes like ruby, he had fire abilities and can also read minds but is still working on it, has a friendly personality and working on his swordsmanship. 'Oh' the siblings said in unison, they were about to make a statement before they were interrupted by the noises from the market. There's a huge commotion going on at the market, The siblings rush to see what is going on, and the guards run after them, Before the blink of an eye, the children are gone but haven't left too long ago.
'Spot them' Jaden said to his teammates and they ran after the kids, The kids were forced into the car by some masked guys who weren't taking it easy with them. The car finally stopped in the middle of nowhere but luckily the guards were able to catch up with them. 'Please let us go' Clara begged with tears falling from her eyes and the bad guys laughed, very hysterical. 'You won't get away with this, the guards will come for you, our parents will come for and once my daddy lays his hands on you all and your boss, he's gonna make sure you pay for kidnapping us' Cassandra said to the masked men with no sign of fear written on her face, very rare of kids her age. Chuckling can be heard from behind 'Oh really?' said the man who chuckled earlier and slowly he walked forward to where the kids were and once his face was visible enough, the kids let out a huge gasp when they got to see who it was, it was Cronos, their fathers enemy. 'Now kids, do you still believe your daddy can you help you out of here?' he asked with a dirty expression on his face. 'Yes, he will. The guards and my daddy will save us, you are going to regret this' Cassandra said with all fierceness in her and she gave that chilling look and vibe just like her father. Cronos was surprised and irritated by such boldness and aura she carried, 'deal with them most especially her' Cronos commanded. As they were about to deal with the helpless children the guards swung in right on time, 'Don't touch them' Brandon warned.
'Don't touch them', Brandon warned and that sent a cold chill running down their spine, he was surprised to see that an ordinary guard commanded such an aura, he had to hide it, he didn't want to be belittled by an ordinary guard and the other guards weren't helping cause they also gave their opponents deadly stares, if staring at someone could kill then they'll die over and over again. Not wanting to waste time and give them the upper hand, 'charge', Cronos commanded and with that, his guards started attacking, and the clash of swords could be heard. Lucius' guards weren't taken off guard and what Cronos didn't know was that they had the upper hand, 'it's eight against three' Brandon said while smiling wickedly at his team, they all had wicked smiles on their faces, 'it's gonna be fun' Lucas said, 'attack' Brandon commanded and with that, they also charged towards their enemies. It didn't take long for the guards to take out Cronos's guards, it was so easy, Cronos was surprised to see his guards taken out by just three of Lucius's guards. 'Now let them go will you?', Cronos didn't know what to say, what was he going to tell his brother Moros? How was he going to deliver the news, he couldn't die here and he couldn't die now, 'will you give us an answer' Lucas yelled at him and without any second thought, Cronos ran away, they couldn't let him off the hook. 'Take care of the majesties, I'll go after him' Brandon said and with that, he ran towards Cronos.
'Your Majesties, I hope you guys weren't hurt?' Jadon asked the kids, 'No, we're fine, thank you for coming to save us', Cassandra, Orion, and Griffin said in unison. 'It's almost sundown, you guys will be in so much trouble if we don't get home on time' Jason said to the guards, Lucas let out a sigh 'We know but we can't leave without Brandon' he said to the young prince. ' We can, we will tell dad he went after Cronos' little Arthur said to the guards, 'hmm, I guess we can, I mean we will still be in trouble after we tell the king what happened but our priority is to get them home before sundown Jadon said to Lucas, 'I guess you're right' Lucas said with a sigh, 'come on kids, let's go' Lucas said to the kids and they all left.
_at the palace_
'The kids aren't back yet, shouldn't we be worried?' Luna asked her husband, No, we shouldn't be worried as it isn't yet sundown besides if anything should happen, I have guards who are capable of handling it, and if they experience any difficulty they'll reach out to me' Lucius answered his wife calmly and she let out a sigh, as she was about to say something the kids walked in from the gate, 'mom, dad' they all ran to their parents with smiles on their faces, their mom was so relieved to have her children back. 'Where's Brandon?' Lucius asked, Jadon and Lucas stared at each other before answering the king, 'he went after Cronos' Lucas said
