It was so cold.

How the Over Worlders could stand it was beyond him. Fiyero rubbed his crimson red colored arms, he wandered aimlessly threw enemy territory, if he wasn't so worried about his family he wouldn't have came up here. He knew he was not welcome here; he was Prince of the underworld, second in line for the throne. He may be an enemy he knew about

Maxxor's message, 'The four tribes most stand together, to save Perim from the M'arrillian.'

Every step he toke toke him father form his home, his family, his friends, and his life. But he had to, he need the overworlds help to save his homeland. Von Bloot may have taken over the underworld, he was the only one to escape.

He remembered everything so vividly; the assault on the city, his father taken on the army so that his family could escape but it didn't work. Chaor went down along with Takinom, his brothers Hades Nicodemus went down last.

He remembered the burning anger that raged threw him, he wanted to stand and fight but H'earing toke him threw the secrete passages, but H'earring was hurt badly and was know past out on his back. It was almost dark when he saw an overworld camp.

At first his instincts to told him to fight, but he was in no condition to fight.

Next was to too run, but he was spotted and H'earring would weigh him down, but he wasn't about to abandon his friend.

So he stayed still as the troops surrounded him, he had to hope that they would take pity on him and H'earing and get him the medical treatment he needed.

"What are you doing here?" The large ram asked heatedly glaring at him.

"Arias. Stand down." It was a young humanoid female tiger that made the order, she looked like the overworld hero Intress but her dark stripes on her pelt looked like the marks of the overwold king. Her orange hair was long, on the left side were to stray stands on black the other pure white.

Next to her was the lion Tangath Toborn.

"Well, what are we going to do with them?" Tangath asked, looking at the tiger.

"I say we send them back where they belong." Arias snorted.

"Lucky for us, you not in command of this mission, Princess Thalia, so what should we do?" Tangath asked the girl. She seemed shock for a moment like she wasn't used to being in command, then went back to a calm demeanor.

"How long have you been walking in the cold?" She asked.

"Since last nigh," Fiyero said, then toke a sharp breath and breathed a small fire trying to warm his slowly freezing body.

"And you friend?"

"Same, he was injured when we fled." Fiyero answered since he was in no way able to fight them.

"Right, Kora?" Thalia turned to a grey wolf with long black hair she was Thalia's age, dressed in armor with a long bow and quiver on her back, "Take them to Linna's tent, have her heal them, not fully. Get them some food and water; I'll question them in the morning." She said, and before Arias could say anything,

"That's an order, no room for discussion, and no one is to attack them."

Thalia watched her ordered were carried out, Kora toke the two underworlds to the Linna's tent, Arais and the others carried on with the patrol, but she and Tangath went back to her tent.

The tent was just as large as the others, her cot in the far corner with blankets, a table in the middle with a map of the overworld, and a desk with papers and a bottle of ink and a quill pen. She sat on and white chest with simbols carved into it.

"You doubted you orders." Tangath asked, seeing the princess staring blankly at the ground.

"No, it just why they were in our territory, that was Prince Fiyero, something bad most have happen in Underworld city."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Tangath asked.

"After the two are rested, we will ride out to Kiru city. And have my father deal with this, but something is wrong."

"I'll stay here, and finish out the mission. You shall take Kora in my place, but you should get some rest, it going to be a long day tomorrow."

With that Tangath left the princess to her thoughts, she shoke her head trying to stop and unwanted train of thought.

Sighing she slid under the blanket of her cot and fell asleep, waiting to great tomorrow's challenges.

Thalia was relived, she had the longest and most peaceful sleep she had in days, but it was ruined by the loud noise that came from out side. Growling she got out of bed and dressed her self in her winter clothes.

Outside she saw Attacat fighting a still weak Fiyero, she didn't see Kora or Linna around show she had to deal with this along.

"Enough!" She bellowed, getting her team's attention. "What is going on here? I gave orders; no one was to attack them." She hissed.

"He was sneaking around the camp." Attacat said, stepping away from the underworlder.

"I was not! You pulled my from the tent and attacked me you flea bitten cat!" Fiyero roared.

"Stop it both of you!" She told the two, "Attacat tell Kora and Linna we are heading out, have them bring the other underworlder. Tangath is taking charge of the mission, while I'm back in Kiru."

She then turned her back to the overwold cat, and steadied Fiyero as he stood up. "I apologize for his behavior, are fit to travel?"

He gave a nod, and then stood on his own, silently following her towards the roar of vehicles.
