The Legion of Thieves

Children of Fey and Night

Family Reunion

Maximilian Martell

"Max... Max can you hear me?" Someone said over me. I felt a damp cloth resting lightly on my forehead and something thick and slimy around my neck. I blinked my eyes open and found Lissa looking down at me. She breathed a sigh of relief and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"How are you feeling?" She asked. I groaned and tried to sit up. My head swam and I felt bile rising in my throat. I lay back down and waited for my sickness to subside. Finally I took a breath and said, "Not great." Lissa smiled and helped me sit up long enough to take a drink of water. I flopped back down and stared at the cieling.

"Where are we anyways?" I asked. "What happened?" I managed to sit up and look around the room. It was a large, one room cabin. A curtain served as a partition to the rest of the building. Dawn sat at the table staring at the other person I suddenly realized was here. She was beautiful! Long, flowing blonde hair, dark eyes that shown with a familiar glow. She had regal features and held herself with an air of confidence that again... seemed familiar.

"Oh Max!" Lissa said following my gaze. "This is..."

"Princess Alyssa Morganna Rain." I guessed. She flashed me a brilliant smile and I felt myself blush.

"Yeah." Lissa continued. "After we escaped from Maekar's mansion Dawn recieved a tip as to where they were. Xaro opened a portal and Alyssa found us on the banks of the river..."

"What river?" I asked interrupting her.

"Millers River."
