"Dahlia asked me to tell you that there is a reporter from the Sentinel waiting to speak with you," Milo said after my good morning kiss. "Oh, and she said to dress up nicely...her version of nicely, not yours. She said they are waiting in the main hall, so hurry up."

"Urgh!" I sighed as I opened my wardrobe and pulled out a dress. I had too much going on to care about reporters. I had a trip to Urbis to plan. There were way too many reasons for me to go there now. I needed to find out who I was, but I also had to save my mother from Morpheus's clutches. The only way I was going to get close to doing any of those was to travel to Urbis.

I'd sent the three parts of the competition to the Sentinel by way of one of the castle staff a couple of days before, so I expected that was the reason they wanted to see me. I'd also done it without showing my father first. I didn't want to give him any more reason to make me do the whole thing again. I had too much on my plate to worry about a competition that I had no intention of holding, and my father was equally as busy. I was doing him a favor, really.

"I'll leave you to it," Milo smiled, "But maybe we could do some more sword practice when my shift ends?"

"Sure thing," I replied as he shut my bedroom door behind him.

I pulled out a beige dress that matched my mood perfectly and pulled it over my head. After running a brush through my hair and tying it back with a ribbon, I was ready to face whatever the Sentinel reporter had to throw at me. He'd no doubt want a couple of pictures, and for that, I should have put on some makeup, but I just wanted to get the whole thing over and done with as quickly as possible. I needed the time to plan my trip before I went out with Milo. I couldn't ask for his help because I wasn't planning on telling him I was going. He'd only try and stop me. The only person I was planning on telling was Nyre because I was planning on taking her with me. I'd be spotted if I tried getting to Urbis on the Urbis Express or on the train, which left me with three options. Walk, go on horseback or fly, courtesy of my little dragon friend. Nyre was the quickest option.

The main hall was packed with people, all of which turned their eyes to me as I entered.

"What's going on now?" I whispered to myself as I walked between the men, for they were almost all men. The only woman in the whole room was Dahlia, who bustled towards me when I walked through the door.

"What's going on?" I asked, though I was sure I didn't really want to know.

"Didn't Milo tell you? The Sentinel people are here.
