Ithildae didn't remember falling asleep, but she must have. When she woke up, it was dawn.
She shook her head. It was a bad idea to sleep outdoors.
Unhappily, she stared at the sky, watching as it went from red to pink to orange.
She had a feeling of impending doom.

Nerisaga was late for her martial art school morning lessons for sure.She was the master and that wasn't a good attitude to be late."But who takes me as a role model?,"she thought sarcatically.She didn't expect to find anyone there till now but as she entered the yard,she found one of her students still there.That was Robert.He wasn't a loyal student or something.On the contrary,Nerisaga always thought that he was a spoiled rich teen who was there to remind her how much her people doubted her.Robert was the son of one of the chiefmen of the Belians ruling board.Robert was leaning on his super sonic car moving his fingers through his blonde hair.He stood straight as he saw Nerisaga with his characterestic nasty smile on his face that tells the others that he knows he owns the power."You were late.I wonder why?,"he said."That's none of your business,"replied Nerisaga without looking at him."Everything that includes a suspected Belian is every Belians concern,"Robert said in challenge.She was about to draw her rapier to show him who was in power here but she changed her mind.She took a deep breath."How long should I deal with nonsense like this?,"she murmured."Patriot Belians should worry about skirmishes going around,"she said to Robert."The war is coming if you noticed.You won't even be able to find oil to run your fancy car-which I know it's more important to you than anything else."."Before the war starts,we should get rid of those who weaken us first,"he said."You are really testing my patience.What do you know about me to say something like this,"she didn't wait an answer.She knew what almost everyone thought of her.Instead,she opened the school door and entered it."Go now!There are no morning classes today."She closed the door behind her.

Jake woke up and walked the short distance back to his house. The door was unlocked, so he went inside. On the refigerator a note for Jakes father had been posted. It read:
A town meeting was called this morning. I'll be back around 6 maybe.
Jake read over the note. There was hardly ever a meeting called. He wondered if it had anything to do with the impending war. He decided he might as well go see what it was about. Meetings were held outside and any Ophilian was welcome to come.

Ithildae shook off her fear. There was no reason to be afraid, she told herself firmly.
She went back inside again to finish up the chores she'd started the night before.

Jake arrived at the town square which served as the meeting place. What was going on today was more of a rally. Most of the villagers were there. A few men were standing in front yelling. The other people yelled back. Like Jake had expected, It was about the Belians. One of the men shouted:
"They treat us like scum!"
The people yelled back in agreement.
"They think they can come into OUR town, and murder OUR people!"
Once again the people yelled back. Jake regonised the mans voice from the woods.
"I say, It's time we FOUGHT BACK!" The crowd erupted. Jake spotted his dad among the crowd, cheering with everyone else.
"I am going to there village and putting an end to this! How about you? Are you with me??"
The crowd cheered loudly and whooped and clapped.
"Than come back here in two minutes with yer torches and weapons!" The speaker yelled. The crowd left in a hurry to obey.

Ithildae frowned to herself, head down and eyes on her work.
She was a good weaver, she knew that.
But her pattern kept getting messed up.
With a sigh, she decided it was due to her nervousness. She put it away and went upstairs to check on Malak.

Malak woke up with a slight pain in his head. He felt something was off. something very wrong. He went through the house limping along looking for Ithildae. "Ithildae," Malak Shouted, "I need a word with you." Malak had a very serious and troubled look on his face. It must be that day nothing feels right, he thought to himself ,hopefully I can handle what is going to happen today if anything i pray nothing happens

Ithildae hurried up the stairs. "Are you alright?" she asked, concerned. "You shouldn't be up if you can't walk properly." Then she picked up his staff from where it had been left in the hallway and handed it to him. "There's something wrong, isn't there?"

"I can't say for certain," Malak sighed, "But if anything happens come find me i have a few other tricks for staying out of sight." At that malaks stomach growled with hunger. "....Ummm do you think i can get some food?"

Ithildae slapped her forehead with one hand. "Oh! How stupid of me, I'd completely forgotten! Come downstairs with me, I've got something on the stove and it's almost done."

Soon the villagers were back, armed with guns and swords like an angry mob.
"Follow me to Belia!" The man shouted. The man then took off running towards the city with the towns people following him obediently. Jake shook his head. The war was starting. who knows how many innocent people will die tonight? well, there's no point in staying here. Jake thought. Maybe if I go to Belia, I can find my new friends and help them. Jake thought this sounded stupid, but it was better than waiting here. Jake ran to catch up with the group. He just hoped he didn't get caught up in this mess. He had his blade in his pocket, just in case.

Ithildae took the food off the stove. She was turning it off when she heard angry yells and screams.
"What is that?" she whispered aloud.
She looked out the window and gave a soft, horrified gasp.
Then she turned to Malak.
"They're here."

Jake had to run to keep up with the other Ophillians. They entered the city, and the madness started. The man in front trew his torch onto the roof of a barn, and it quickly caught on fire. The Belians were caught off guard, and some of the people who started defending their homes were struck down. Killed. Jake didn't want to be in the middle of this, so he ran down an alley to get away from the crowd. He then started running as fast as he could towards Ithildae's house. He just hoped he didn't meet her father on the way, who wold surely take him for one of the Opilian killers.

Ithildae slipped into a back room, pulling out her bow.
She thought with a grim smile that it was probably a good thing she kept it cared for.
With a deep breath, she turned to Malak. "I have to help them. Are you coming?"
Without waiting for an answer, she went outside and opened the door to the barn.
It would be quicker to get to the main part of town on horseback.

"well its now or never," malak sighed, " I don't like using my power but maybe it will help things. Lets Gather all The belians we can at somewhere they know. Illusions are a beautiful thing if you know how to use them right." Malak started heading toward the door. "I was hoping i would have a few more days. We must hurry, where is a good place to meet?"
