The drakes had flown for hours and they had finally reached their final destination. When they had finally landed at the academy the sun had started to set throwing dark shadows over the land. Nethya was the first one off the drake followed by White Knight, when all of them got off the drakes they started to walk toward the great hall next to the entrance of the academy. When they finally reached the hall it left them amazed. The walls were covered with paintings of people of the past and even one of Nethya herself.
As they walked down the great hall they looked at each one of the paintings admiring the detail of each that made each of them lifelike. At the end of the hall two large doors made of oak lay open and inside are a round table with nine chairs. Nethya looks to each person studying their features, remembering them all from the banquet four years earlier.
The closest to them is Fernsy, his green hair and childish features deceive the enemy into thinking that he isn't as much of a threat as he really was. Next to him sits the fair skinned Jhoira, her long black hair hangs down and swishes in the phantom breeze. Beside her lounges her husband Darkmen. His dark skin almost makes him invisible in the flickering light. On the other side of the table sits Tiny Tim, he was a pirate for fourteen years before he was dragged into the Coalition battle four year earlier. A scar runs down his left cheek, a remnant of his pirate past. His long brown hair covers the top of his long blue coat, which reaches to the floor. Next to him sits Joshua the leader of the black faction, his long blond beard hand down over his chest. He was once a Lt. Commander before the Final Battle but was promoted when Captain Nick and Commander Valdner were killed by the deadly phyrexians. Beside him is Su-Chi of the white faction. His armor shines in the darkness as if the moon was shining on him at that very moment. His white cape engulfs the chair covering it with fold of white silk. Muzzler the leader of the colorless faction stands by the Dominaria globe studying it closely his horns nearly touching the globe itself. Across from him stands Crusader his loving face stares at Nethya as the group calmly walks to the group.
����"Thank you for coming. I have asked you all to come here because there is a coming threat to the Coalition. The Phyrexians are returning and we have to prepare for their arrival." Nethya says.
����"You must be kidding, the Phyrexians were trapped in their world by that explosion at the last battle four years ago." Tiny Tim says as he leans forward looking at her.
����"I wish I was. The Phyrexian Praetor Dakmor survived the battle with the Vengeance, we believe that his plan is to reopen the portal to Phyrexia and bring the other Phyrexians through. By White Knight's calculations Dakmor will be able to open a portal within two days time. Ladies and Gentlemen we may be faced with all out war which we may not survive." Nethya shouts at the men and women.
����"What can we do?" Mastermind says as he walks through a side door.
����"Rally all the troops you can. We will hit them fast and hard right when the portal opens." Nethya says, "I will contact you when I know when and where it will take place."
����" How will you come to find this knowledge Nethya?" Darkmen asks.
����"I will track down Dakmor and will keep watch on him until he communicates with the Phyrexians. When I find the information I will then get back to you as fast as I can." Nethya says.
����"I will send a few men with you, just incase you run into some trouble." Muzzler tells Nethya and then looks at a roster of the Coalition recruits.
����"I can do it better alone." Nethya says.
����"I must insist that you take them not for your sake but in the sake that the information gets back to us incase you are captured or even worse, killed." Muzzler says, "Take Autocrat, Arkol and Galen with you, they are very skilled marksmen who are also used for spying on enemies when there services are needed."
����"OK, just make sure they do not get in my way," She says and then turns to the others in her group " Tiana you will be in charge while I am away. White Knight, you & Urza protect her while I am gone, I don't want anyone to harm her."
White Knights nods his head, holds out his hand and says, "Good luck Nethya, we are counting on you."
����"Thank you Knight," she says and then turns to the faction leaders "I shall return, send the three soldiers to my quarters when dawn breaks the great mountains in the horizon."
With that Nethya calmly walks out of the sanctuary and into the darkness of the corridor, soon disappearing under the cover of night.
