Merlin and Yen-Sid both came into the room. Merlin stood next to his mentor as Yen-Sid sat in the chair at the desk. "Good evening everyone." He said as the lights in the room flickered. "I know that most of you have questions and I wish I could answer them for you all right now. Right now though we have a much more pressing matter. As we speak the abominations born from the void of darkness and nothingness are coming for you. Why? Because you have the hearts of keybearers. That will be explained later, but because your hearts shine so bright they are coming to erase you from existence. However you have the power to fight them." The lights flickered again and Yen-Sid looked around. "We don't have much time and after this night I won't see you all for a long time. I will distract them before they get a chance to take any of you. Merlin is going to be taking you to a world that the darkness won't be able to find very easily. He will have you trained and ready to fight within a couple of weeks so please all of you listen to him. 

Merlin stepped forward as he sent a message telepathically to his owl Archimedes. The owl woke annoyed but got the message. He was to go fly into Leo's room and land on him. Ready to go. "Alright everyone this is how this is going to work. I need each of you to stand in a circle and hold hands. Don't be shy because we don't have time for all that nonsense." Merlin said it grumpily because he was leaving Yen-Sid to these new enemies and taking the kids to Traverse Town. Leaving Yen-Sid behind meant loosing a very powerful ally and a dear friend, but Merlin that if anyone could hold the enemy at bay it was him. Merlin took a star like object with a lightning bolt out of his pocket. "Now complete the circle by closing it with me. Once we are all ready we shall warp to pick up two more guests then to a world called Traverse Town. Merlin waited for the group to gather round so that they could all leave.
