"Now that the weeping warrior is gone and everything that is happening, the fey are losing hope," Gawain says as he looks across at Nimue with worry in his eyes "And i... i have nothing to offer them. the weeping warrior was what kept all of the fey together, what kept them alive, she gave them hope and now that she is gone, its like all sign of hope is gone too. We need to get her back nimue"


The cries from a fey woman could be heard and Gawain looks across the room to see a young girl in the corner with hair that matched the weeping warriors but lighter, her eyes were red but not just from crying, but from anger. She was sharpening blades and gawain instantly recognised them as Chinese ring daggers which were an extremely rare weapon and extremely hard to master, the only person who he had seen with them and that knew how to use them was the weeping warrior. He observed the girl, she was the spitting image of the weeping warrior but much younger and you could actually see her whole face, whereas none of the fey had seen the weeping warriors face, it was always covered by a mask that came up to the bottom of her crystal blue eyes.


"We cant just go and get her back, we don't know where she is, look at the storm gawain, if she is out there than she is probably dead by now, or almost dead" Nimue mutters softly and the thunder echoed through the cave


"Shes strong Nimue, stronger than basically everyone i have met and shes smart" Gawain mumbles to her and Nimue looks down at the ground in thought 


"She left for a reason, she doesn't want to be found, surely there has to be something else that could give them hope, they cant rely on just one person" Nimue says back


Gawain let out a small sigh and then turned back to face Nimue"the only hope that they have left, is you"


Nimue looked shocked, she had no idea why the weeping warrior had left and she didn't know if she was ready for this, ready to lead the fey, to be strong for them and protect them just like the weeping warrior had but believed that she could do it, she was confident in herself and suddenly all thoughts about the weeping warrior had left her mind. She wanted to lead the fey.


Nimue looked around the room and noticed all of the injured fey and the shaking ones that looked up in fear as the storm above them continued to rage on, the fey were miserable and Nimue knew that what gawain had said was right, they had lost hope


Nimue nods her head shakily and gives gawian a small smile which he returns and she let out a breathe before turning around and she began to make her way up the steps and she slowly stepped onto the bridge that overlooked all of the fey.


Allison looked up at Nimue and she didn't know why but the fact that Nimue was just standing there instead of Adira annoyed her. Adira had earned it, Adira did everything for the fey and then this woman just comes along with a giant sword and decides to just take all of that away. Did nimue think that she could replace Adira. Allison calmed her thoughts as she imagined Adira scolding her for thinking that way, she knew that Adira would have looked up to Nimue without a complaint so Allison couldn't see why she couldn't, yet no matter how hard Allison tried, when she looked up at nimue on the bride who stood there proudly, she couldn't help but think that that should have been Adira, adira should have been the one up there.


"Her. Her, this one, she saves us" A fey woman said and then all of the fey turned and stopped what they were doing so that they could all look at nimue and the crowd begins to chatter "She saved us all"


"she saved us all" The crowd just got louder and louder as theybegan to chatter amonst each other and Allison couldn't help but glare up at Nimue, Adira had saved them all multiple times and Nimue had done it once and she did it by copying the actions of the dark witch, The Cailleach while Adira risked her life in battle everytime for them


"this one, this one" The lady replies and Nimue looks around at all of the fey who had their eyes on her


"Like you, the red paladins took everything from me, my mother. friends. my home. Everything, everything but this" Nimue says loudly and then grips the hilt of the sword tha rested on her back and then she pulled it out and held it in front of her and everyone gasped as it lit up and a mystical twinkling sound echoed softly through the cave and Nimue felt proud as everyone looked at her "this is the sword of our people, forged in the fey fires when the world was young. The kings of men have fought wars to posses it, and the church sought to destroy it, because withing its blade, lies the collective power of our anncestors"


"power"


"ancestors"


"power"


"power"


"power"


"this... is our courage. Our light in all of this darkness, our hope, in all of this dispear. I will be your shield. and by the gods, i will be your sword. And i vow on this day that the fey will live free again"


The fey began to cheer excitedly 


"Some call this the sword of the first kings, but i claim it, as the sword of the first queen" Nimue says and Allison stands up in anger


"the fey queen!" Gawain exclaims 


"the fey queen"


"the fey queen"


"the fey queen"


Allison tucked her blades into their sheathes as made sure all of her weapons were attached to her clothing tightly and then she grabbed a small bag that she had filled with supplies and she pushed past everyone and made her way to the entrance of the cave before turning to look back at all of the fey, all of the fey except the weeping warrior


"Im going to go get our real queen back"
