Gregor and the Code of Claw -- A happy ending + A Book Six

Chapter 7

The night was long as Gregor stayed up, worried. What was going to happen with the Cutter's, if there is a war, how will he lead it, Luxa. He knew she was okay, but he was still scared.

He got out of bed after not sleeping for a night and headed to the hospital, Luxa was sleeping so he gave her a kiss and then went off to talk to Vikus. "What should we do on the Cutters attack?" Gregor asked.

"Well we can't make peace with them because they hate all warm bloods so there is only one option, War." Vikus said with a grim look on his face, He knew this was bad. Gregor was as scared as Vikus, even though he had been through more wars than him,he probably fought in the worst one, but this one was going to have a high body count. The Cutters probaly had almost a million and the combined forces of the Underland was only 50,000, but they only had force in numbers not strategy.

They chat for a while when Nerissa bursts in, she is covered in sweat and looks horrified, "Th--there i--is a ne--new prophecy. M-m-must tell you soon. Meet m--me in th-e prophecy r-room. Bring Luxa" She say's studdering, and runs off. Gregor stands there, in shock, he thought he was done, and it seemed really bad. "I must go Vikus." He says.

Vikus looks at him and nods, the shock is worse on his face, it looks like he knows.

He gets to the Prophecy room with Luxa, they both are sweaty out of fear. When they walk in they see Nerissa huddled in a corner. "No,no,no,no,no" she keeps saying. When she sees us she demands Luxa to grab a piece of paper and to write down what she said. Gregor got the doctor's ready for her.

"The Prophecy of The End" she begins, this already is unsettling

" A war will start with the Cutter's
They are ready for the slaughter's

The Queen is ready to fight them all
Even the most powerful of them all

Even when the leaders are gone
The Underlanders will still fight on

The King, the Queen and their fliers
The Rat that they admire
They will all be gone that day
But their enemy will be slayed

They will still lead on
Even though they are gone

Their son will take the thrown
And over throw the Cutters own.

The war will end with their deaths
They will be cast into the depths

The King, the Queen and their fliers
The Rat that they admire
The will all be gone that day
But their enemy will be slayed
Savor the light." And she passes out.

Shock. They just stood there, not even moving a muscle. Vikus walks in, " Shall we?"

"Declare it." They say in unison. They know it is the only way.

They don't move until they are called for dinner. Gregor and Luxa don't eat. Ares asks Gregor what's wrong, he shows him the paper, he stops eating.

After everyone saw the Prophecy they just sat in silence, even Ripred, but he looked less worried then everyone else. But when Lizzie walks in, he looks as worried as the rest. Lizzie was Ripred's closest thing to a family after he lost his in the attack on the garden, he probably wasn't thinking about Lizzie when he first saw it.

They all knew what it meant no need to decipher it, they all were going to die.

But the thing that got Gregor stick was "Savor your light" he thought a long time, he bought it meant to survive for as long as he can in the war. He didn't know.
