When I woke up my mind felt clear, I now knew what I needed to do, I had my answer.

  Even if it meant risking everything I had gained so far, I needed to see what was behind that red door.

  The white orb was calling out to me. Was this the same dream and feeling that Gary had. Is this why he wanted to go down there so bad?

  The next day I asked Gary to meet me on my own, I told him that we would go together. He was very grateful and couldn't stop thanking me, saying I was his best friend he ever had.

  I felt a bit guilty, I didn't tell Gary about my dream. I was doing this for my own selfish reason and not for him but Gary thought different.

  As I went on to train I couldn't seem to focus. All I was doing was waiting for the day to end so I could plan how to infiltrate the red door.

  Gary, on the other hand, seemed more energized than ever. As if he had gotten back to his usual self.

  When at last the training was done, Gary called over me and Monk to meet at the black sash mansion's tempory rooms.

  I was surprised that Gary had called over Monk, perhaps he had asked for his help as well.

  When I entered the room Gary quickly closed all the windows and doors making sure no one was listening in on us. He had a plan that he made laid out across the floor.

  "So what's with the emergency meeting?" Monk asked.

  Gary walked over towards Monk and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Me and Ray, are going to see what's behind the red door, and we need your help."

  Monk's eyes nearly doubled in size." You're going to do what! we can't we'll be kicked out of the academy!"

  Monk then turned towards me, "You have to tell him, Ray."

  "You did ask me to help him out monk, Gary's been having dreams about the red door," I said.

  "Well, you two can go get yourself's kicked out of the school but I'm out of here.

  Monk started to head towards the exit when Gary called out to him.

  "Wait, You remember the duel we had a long time ago? If Ray hadn't stopped you I might have been seriously hurt. You said you owe me one. Well, I'm calling on that favour now."

  Monk was biting down on his teeth as he had his hand on the door handle. I could see he only needed a little push to be convinced.

  "Monk didn't you tell Ray we were family, Well, I see us black sashes as a family and we need your help."

  Monk let go of the door handle and started to walk back towards us. "Fine, but this is it, were even after this and I need to here the plan first."

  I then noticed that one of us wasn't called here. "Hey, Gary if you wanted the whole black sash family here, why didn't you call Kyle over?" I asked.

  "Come on really, We all know he's got a big mouth."

  We all smiled at each other. It was true if Kyle new of this plan half of Avrion academy would have known about it by now.

  Gary then went on to explain his plan, "This is the plan, Currently, two knights in black armour guard the red door at all times. It's said that they hold the same power as a master knight, so it will be impossible for us to take them on. But once a month the black armoured knights gather for a meeting and are replaced by squire masters. This will be our chance, one of us will create a distraction, while that is happening Monk we need you to picklock the lock. You're the best out of all of us and the fastest."

  Monk's cheeks went a little red.

  "What do we tell the rest while were gone?" Monk asked.

  "Just say we decided to do some special training together."

  "What if they find out about the broken lock?" I asked.

  "We don't have to say anything because they will never find out, our black sash training was made for missions like these. This is the type of thing we trained for this hole time."

  "Alright let's do it," I said.

  Suddenly there was a startled gasp. By the window a group of shadows could be seen, they started to form a shape and a girl had appeared out of nowhere.

  It was Jasmine's heart. She had green eyes with long black hair. She wore a black grey cloak. Across her chest was the black sash we all knew well.

  She was currently a third-year student who was also a part of the black shashes. We didn't interact much with the third-year students and most of the time they were out on missions. But due to the lack of black shashes nearly everyone knew each other.

  "I can't believe what I just heard" She whispered.

  Sweat marks started running down our faces, I could hear the sound of the other two hearts get faster.

  "What are you doing here?" Gary said. "Were you spying on us?"

  "No! it was an accident, I went up here to train by myself. I was practising to blend in with the shadows and hide."

  "Isn't that spying?" Monk said.

  "Well it doesn't matter, I heard everything. I know what you guys are planning to do and you are not going to get away with it. Once I tell the master knights what you're up to you'll be kicked out of the Avrion Academy."

  The three of us glanced at each other, hoping that one of us would have an idea that could get us out of this situation.

  Gary started to walk slowly towards Jasmine, "Well, now that you know about our plan, we can't just let you go free now, can we?"
