Now on with the story. *Chapter Thirteen – Innocent* I never thought I would be in this place, my hand stood firm as I pushed the dagger through the skin of one of my friends. <<72 hours earlier>> I stood in shock when the guards came. I stood in shock when they dragged Syrena away. At the same time, they hurried my family and me to a safe place. Since then I've heard that the celebration apparently ended shortly after. Several energy spells were cast over us, as we all needed to be awake through night. Even without the spells I couldn't have slept. I was in a big underground room. My sisters were beside me. Maman was pacing around the room. Aleksandra and Luzeiza were here too, their knowledge of the history of the word as the infinite room's caretaker and its apprentice was far too important to leave them unprotected. I tried to leave the room somewhere around one in the morning, but the guards wouldn't let me. I looked around "This has to be a misunderstanding, Syrena isn't capable of killing anyone!" Marguerite looked at me, "You don't know that." I slowly stood, "Yes, yes I do." She was losing it under the stress we were all experiencing and she shouted at me, "You've only known her for two months for the Gods sake!" "Yes and I have had enough time to get to know her well..." I suddenly shouted back "She is innocent!" "You believe you know her?" asked Luzeiza. "Do you know who her grandmother is?" As I shook my head, I realized I knew nothing Syrena's life. That didn't matter, I knew her now. She is innocent. Maman looked at me, "Her grandmother is Atalanta." I've heard that name before. She continued, "Atalanta, the mermaid queen." As Maman spoke those words I sat down. Syrena was a princess, not only that but a princess of celestial beings. Merpeople are the only celestial civilization that survived completely through the centuries. They're not very friendly and as humans killed the rest of the magical beings, they secluded themselves in the oceans. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. It was Dean Ashwood. He informed us that we were free to leave the room. I asked him about Syrena and all he said was, "She is in custody of the high guard." and left. I went to my room and when I got there I saw all my friends waiting. Sarah was the first to speak, "What happened? No one will tell us what happened." "They think Syrena killed that man." "That is ridiculous!" shouted Theo. "I know, but I don't know what to do. Dean Ashwood said she is under custody of the high guard." The high guard is the armed force of the Alliance. I looked at them all, "We know she's innocent, but the only one that knows how to do the night sky clothes spell is her." "Those cloths also work to pass unseen at night..." said Stella. "She used it the other day." Theo smiled, "She used it to come and meet me. I also used the cloak she gave me in the labyrinth." Suddenly I realized she might be the only one who could do that spell, but she wasn't the only one who had one of those cloaks. I put my hand on my sword. I looked at Theo, "Let me see your cloak" Walking towards him and I saw everyone did the same. "You can't seriously believe that I did it." He glared at me. "I can't believe anything, so we have to check them all." He opened his drawer and took out the cloak. It was complete. I sighed in relief. I sat on his bed. "We need to get her out, before her grandmother comes." "Who's her grandmother?" asked Sarah. "Atalanta!" Everybody took a seat, surprised. They obviously knew who Atalanta was. In that moment I realized something. I couldn't trust any of them. One of us was imprisoned and the only ones with access to her magic were in this room, except... "Where are MJ and Lancelot?" I asked. John said, "MJ is with Chrisson." Looking at him he had such a smirk on his face. I realized what they were doing. That's why Chrisson was so hostile towards me. "And Lance is..." said Theo as Alexander stiffened. We all knew Lance, we knew what he was doing, but Alexander didn't want to accept that the guy he loved was in absence of a better word...a slut. Lance liked to fuck whatever moved, but the only one that was always there was Alexander and Lance played with his feelings. Suddenly the clock tower announced the hour. It was three in the morning. Witching hour. I lit a cigarette. I stopped smoking last week, but today was just too stressful. The door opened and a drunk smiling MJ came in. "Hello, what's with the long faces? Who died?" He clearly had no idea what had happened. As Stella helped her brother to a bed she said, "Some guy died and they're blaming Syrena." He gasped and looked at her, "That's ridiculous!" He shouted with a high pitch looking around. He wasn't only drunk, he was high, very high. Stella opened MJ's drawer and took a vial with a transparent liquid, she gave it to him. He protested but drank the liquid, in moments he was as good as new. "Whatever you're planning don't even think about it! You're far too important to do what I know you'll do." I tried to look innocent, "I am not planning anything." He looked at me. "Now, but you want to take her out. If we are going to do that, then we are going to do it well. Don't commit more crimes. Running away from incarceration, even if in the end you are proven innocent is a crime in itself." Sarah sighed, "We need to close the circle and we need help to get Syrena out." "I know who can help us." I looked around, "Catania, show yourself." Minutes later we heard a scratch on the door. I opened it and the beautiful blue Siamese entered. ** Yes Nicky? ** The cat said telepathically "I need you to speak with Fer." John protested "So we are on the nickname basis now?" "Cut the crap John! I call him Fer because that's the nickname I gave him millenniums ago." Sarah gasped, "So it's true... You're Eremir?" "No." I said and everybody looked weird at me "I am more than Eremir. I am he and me at the same time." "There is no need to call me," A voice said in the doorway. A guy our age was there. He looked like a younger version of Ferim, and at the same time he was someone we knew. It was the sorcerer from our class, Ferdinand. "What the fuck! How come I didn't notice?" Ferim smiled, "Confusing magic and the others didn't realize because no one cares about a simple sorcerer...You already know about us." Ferim stated, it was not a question. I nodded, "If you mean that I remember everything. I do." He smiled, "Baba Yaga is one of my most powerful daughters, but she has outdone herself this time." I looked at him, "I want to know everything about the attack? Somehow we all forgot about it." Sarah said, "A spell, but if that is correct then whoever was powerful enough to create a spell of that magnitude for so long is a very dangerous opponent." I looked at everyone, "So are we going to close this circle or not? Theo call Lance." "No. Lancelot is not in your circle." Stated Ferim. "Why?" Everybody asked. "I can't tell you." I was getting angry, "Oh, fuck the Gods and their rules!" Ferim looked at me, "After you died, Asdimir put down these rules." ** Catania, I can't trust any of my friends. ** I said telepathically. ** I know. What is your plan? ** ** I'll get her out of there. Whatever it takes. ** ** Hurry, Atalanta is on her way. The moment she sets foot in the castle she will claim the right to judge her grandchild. Syrena will be dead if that happens. ** "Nick, what happened?" asked MJ looking at me worried. "Nothing. I'll visit Syrena now." I said standing. "I'll go with you." said Theo. "No. No, I need to do this alone." I said as I left the room walking as fast as I could. I reached the dungeons in less than ten minutes. I never knew why a school needed dungeons, but they were there. The moment I set foot in the hall I felt my powers disappear, this part of the castle was magicless. The guards were Fairies, the only kind that possessed magic down here. They let me pass because of the crown on my head. Syrena was in one of the cells. "Nick what are you doing here?" she asked. ** I came to save you. ** I said telepathically. She shook her head no. "Don't you even think about it." I smirked and send an aether wave knocking out the guards. I opened the door with freeway that as my grandmother told me worked without magic. "Atalanta is on her way." I said as the alarm began to sound. "It is now or never." I shouted and Syrena came running towards me. She hugged me and we began to run away. ** Nick, stop! ** I felt Aleksandra say in my mind. ** Grandma, No. ** I said before I severed the connection I had with her. It hurt like hell, not just physically but also emotionally. "Where are we going?" asked Syre. "The only place no one can follow us." "The labyrinth." She finished for me. Suddenly a man appeared in front of us. A man with vivid red hair and beard, he appeared in a bolt of lightning. "Daddy!" said Syrena hugging her father. Her father said, "Go my child. I brought a storm with me. I will stay and give you a head start." Syrena grabbed my hand, I saw my family come running at the other end of the hall. All I could hear from Maman before a lightning bolt absorbed me was, "No!" We appeared at the labyrinths door. It opened the moment we touched it. We entered the labyrinth and it was changing. I didn't need the map I knew that if I followed the path I would find Ferim's castle. The next part of my story has to be told by others. As I would never know if that was what really happened, but this is what they told me. <> As soon as I heard the alarm I knew Nick had done something reckless. We ran down and arrived the moment Nick and Syrena disappeared in a lightning bolt. "Oh my fucking God!" cursed Alexander. "I haven't done anything." Ferdinand said or is it Ferim? I don't know what to call him anymore. "Will you shut up," protested John. As we arrived where Nick's family was, the guards had taken the man that stayed behind. He looked a lot like Syrena. "Where the fuck did he go?" The queen asked. "How the hell should we know?" Protested Sarah. "Hopefully far away! Far, far away." Shouted the red-haired man. The Queen looked at him, "Ludwik, we are here to help." "Help? My daughter was in prison and her grandmother is - on - the – way!" He shouted. So he was Ludwik Zieba, Syrena's Father. "Release him," said Queen Adelaide. "But your majesty..." protested one of the guards. "RELEASE HIM!" She shouted and all the guards took a step back. Ferim said, "I know where they are." One of Nick's sisters, Amelie asked, "Who are you?" "No one," answered Ferim. "They are in the labyrinth." "How do you know that?" Amelie asked again. He smiled, "I will explain later. We need to talk privately." "Let's go to my office," said the Dean. Ferim looked at him, "This doesn't include you. Only family and Nicky's circle. We will go to Ferim's temple." Queen Adelaide clapped her hands and everybody was in the forest surrounding some kind of mirror. I knew the queen was powerful but I have never seen so many people transported so fast. All the magics touched the mirror and disappeared, Ferim included. The rest of us followed shortly after. The temple was awesome, it was made of black and white marble. The statue of Ferim was in the center of it all. The real Ferim was standing looking at the statue. I walked up to him. "It's weird to look at oneself as a statue?" I nodded. He pointed to a mark on the statue, it was over the heart. "You see that mark, in the language of the gods it means Eremir." he said and I knew. I noticed that he looked at Nick not only as a brother, but also as a lover. I could feel that Nick loved him also, in another life. "Sorry." "Don't be. I actually like you. There is no better person to be with him...than you and John. It's too late for me." He said and changed his appearance. Now he looked older like in the statue, but without the four arms. We walked away from the statue and went to where the rest of the group was standing. Lance was nowhere to be found, but as Ferim said he wasn't in our circle. "Ok, we're all here," said the queen without looking at Ferim. When she did she went as white as a sheet. "Great God!" She said Ferim laughed. "I'm not that one. He's my dear brother," added Ferim. "So it is true. My grandson is..." She couldn't finish because Ferim interrupted. "No," he sighed, "not yet." "Well let's find him, shall we?" said Marguerite. "You can take us to the labyrinth," Amelie said. "Yes I can, but Nick is in my castle and in there he is more powerful than ever. The castle is alive and it protects those that are in it. So we need to get him out the old way." "Then what do we do?" Sarah asked. Ferim looked at everyone. "You need to close the circle. When we fight our way in, you need to enclose Nick and get him to close the circle along with Syrena." "Well, then let's do it!" said Sarah. "Wait a moment. There are three more people in the circle," added Ferim. "Who?" I asked "Kibo, Gertrude and Oscar," said Alexander. Ferim nodded. "So let's go find them." "There is no need," said Kibo Ryu coming from behind us followed by Oscar and Gert. "How did you get here so fast?" I asked surprised. "We were already here," said Oscar signaling to Gert and himself. They were the queen's servants. "I knew what was going to happen," said Kibo. "How?" someone asked. "I am a celestial remember. I couldn't say anything before, but the sole purpose of my life is to protect Nick." "Ok. How do we close the circle?" I asked. "In theory it's easy. Some drawing and after that, it's easy," said Sarah as chalk appeared in her hand. She began to draw a circle on the floor, and Alexander helped her. Sarah suddenly asked, "Kibo write our names in Draka." Kibo began to write our names following the line in the language of dragons. After that Alexander drew eleven smaller circles inside the big one, each circle contained a ten pointed star. "Who knows godish?" asked Alexander. "It is not called that and the fact that you mortals can't even pronounce it is a whole different matter that does not help! Hagdar fe rester mi lop ergaed," said the queen in the most perfect Godish I have heard on my entire life. "Hog di reshi il mergagdo." Answered Ferim in an even better language of the Gods, so perfect it felt wrong to listen to it. "I don't speak that bad!" protested Queen Adelaide. "I will write the names," said Ferim ignoring her. Reaching for the chalk from Sarah he wrote the names in Godish. When he finished every one of us took the place that corresponded to our name. The circle glowed, but nothing happened. "That's it?" asked John. "No, that is not it," I answered. "Something is missing," said Sarah, "but I don't know what." "I know. Nick and Syrena need to be in the circle. I'll make this drawing appear under Nick and Syrena, but you need to be sure to be standing on the exact position and hold hands," said Ferim. "Now let's attack my castle." He added and a door appeared out of thin air as he laughed, "I never thought I'd have to say that." We all crossed thru the door and disappeared into darkness. <> We arrived at the palace shortly after disappearing in the lightning bolt. It was one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. While Ashwood castle was squared made of white stone and blue roofs, Ferim's palace was shaped in the oddest ways. Some towers were curved, while others stood up until they disappeared in the clouds. The roofs were rounded like domes and in many of them flags moved by the wind, but each flag in a different direction as there were many winds at the same time. The most remarkable fact was that the castle was made of pure gold. The gates opened for us revealing a small courtyard and there was a man waiting, his skin was the color of ebony "My name is Marebo, I work for our Lord," The said and gave a little bow. "I am..." I started, but he interrupted. "I know who you are master, please come with me. Do not fall behind as this place is a little mischievous sometimes and the doors move." He said as he started walking and both of us followed. Effectively some doors disappeared after we passed them. As we walked the palace I could see the beauty of this place, every room was decorated differently, some Greek, others Roman, some even like sex clubs (still in use by the way). We realized that many people lived in this place. Each room was a different world, full of people and histories. I asked Marebo who all of these people were. Marebo answered, "Wanderers. People who devote their life to Ferim, or their bodies." He said with a grin as we passed a room with a Turkish style pool on the middle were a bunch of humans, and not humans were engaged in several states of sexual intercourse. I looked in that direction and I knew Syrena was doing the same. One woman-like figure look at us and smirked and a long tongue rolled out of her mouth, as long as an arm, she licked the breast of a woman in front of her before then tongue went between the female's legs and inserted inside into the vagina. I don't know about Syrena, but that is not an image I want to remember. I looked in the other direction and saw a man whit a cock the size of a baseball bat pounding a smaller guy. The receiver looked like he was on cloud nine. Marebo cleared his throat startling us, and we realized we had stopped. "You can join if you want," he said with a smirk on his face. "No thank you." I said and Syrena looked at him. "Is it very far where you are taking us?" she asked. "No. Actually it is this next room." He opened the door and led us in to a room that could have come out of any Jane Austen novel. There was a balcony that looked over the labyrinth. Strange we hadn't climbed any stairs. Marebo smiled, "I will go now I have...business to attend." He had a glow in his eyes. I knew he wanted to join the orgy at the pool. He eyed me and then he eyed Syrena. He wasn't bad looking. Actually he was handsome. He stood a full 6 feet (or more) and he was muscular and bulky in the right places. His bare arms said the same story as he had the biceps of a man who clearly worked out. He had hazel eyes and had an Idris Elba look about him. I would definitely fuck him if I wasn't so shy and chaste...and if I had not three potential love interests already. "Anything you need, ask and someone will attend you." He said and walked away removing some of his clothes before he disappeared through the same door we had just entered. Syrena let herself fall into one of the seats and I did the same. I still had the crown on. "Beautiful crown, but a little unnecessary right now don't you think?" said Syrena. "It is hard to take off. It has some clips," I said as Syrena stood and helped me to take off the crown. I used some a spell to reduce the crown to the size of a penny and put it on my pocket. "So what now?" asked Syre. "I have absolutely no idea. I didn't think this thru!" "Oh, you don't say!" mocked Syre. "Shut up." I protested. Now that everything was in recess I felt my stomach rumble. "Can we get some food?" I asked to no one in particular. A voice came from nowhere, "In a second." WOW it sent chills down my back, and literally one second later a guy...a very naked guy walked inside through the door. It was the guy who was getting his ass pounded by the baseball bat cock. "Sorry for the delay. I was deeply preoccupied in some...other business" He apologized. "Yes deeply." I said and Syrena snorted, trying to contain the laughter and the guy simply shrugged. "I couldn't resist myself." He said with a smile. "So what do you want to eat?" "Something simple. We don't want to cause any problems." "Sorry in this place you will not find anything...simple. This is the place to fulfil your deepest and darkest desires. No one will judge you here," He said with a mischievous smile. I didn't want to know what he was talking about really. We asked for chicken and pasta and quite few other indulgent treats. He looked a little sad when we said chicken. "I repeat myself, ANYTHING..." He said, but we looked at him as if he had three heads. He just left and five minutes later he was back with all the food. We ate like it was our last meal. The guy was now dressed, Marebo came in walking funny with his 6 inch soft dick swinging. At least he had a smile on his face as he put the clothes back on. "What is wrong with you?" asked the guy. "Fregar," said Marebo. The guy smirked and his hand moved to his ass and rubbed! "Fregar," he repeated. "What is Fregar?" asked Syrena. "Who is Fregar?" corrected Marebo. "He is the half troll with the biggest cock I've ever seen." "Oh." Syrena said looking down as her skin changing ten shades of red. I finished eating and used magic to clean myself. I took a seat on a couch and lit a cigarette. I had the packet in my pocket and as Syrena sat beside me she took a cigarette for herself. "So, what's your story?" asked the guy. "A prince who runs away because he wanted to marry the woman he loves and not the woman his family choses?" "Zar, cut it!" Marebo shouted. This time I look at both of them, Marebo looked like some African warrior, but Zar looked like your typical white bottom bitch. His slender figure contrasted with his big round ass, a skin as white as paper, blonde hair to the shoulders, full rose colored lips, with a pair of dark eyes. "No Marebo let him." I said and then looked at Zar. "Runaway prince? Yes, but the rest is all wrong. Oh I was helping a friend escape from an unfair imprisonment. My family would never force me to do something I don't like. Besides what make you believe I prefer my partners female?" "Sorry. Maybe you're not the spoiled brat I thought you were," said Zar. "What kind of name is Zar anyway?" I asked He shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe it is not my first name, but it had been for centuries and I forgot my real name. He said laying on the coffee table just as a sonic boom reverberated through the palace. "What's that?" asked Syrena. "Someone is attacking us," said Marebo. He was standing and heading for the balcony. He came back seconds after with an expression of horror. "Mar what is wrong?" asked Zar. "Who's attacking us?" "Gods, smaller Gods and genies." said the black skinned man before he began to pace back and forth. "The only way that genies and minor gods are attacking us is if our lord is beside them," said Zar. "That's absurd! Why would our lord attack his own castle? Unless..." He stopped speaking as he looked at me. "Who are you?" asked Zar catching up on what Marebo was asking. I nodded, "My name is Nicholas, I am the De lumiere prince." "Liar, no wizard prince can take over this castle. Who are you?" Yelled Marebo charging towards me. I tried to use magic against him, but he was immune. He took hold of me by the neck of my tunic and lifted me of the ground. "Tell me your name. Your real name." He yelled at me. I was horrified. He had transformed into some kind of beast. His eyes were completely black, veins showed all over his face and arms. I couldn't let him win. I smiled and looked at his eyes, I don't know where this confidence came from maybe it was Eremir speaking, "I am your master. I am the one who gave you life! I am..." I couldn't finish because he dropped me and knelt, "Forgive my lord." "Who is he Mar?" asked Zar. "He is ... Eremir..." he said as Zar looked at me with horror before himself knelt before as well. I looked at Syrena and on her eyes I could see fear, why? She knelt along the other two and I felt powerful. I wanted to push them aside as if they were rubbish. Wait a moment, that wasn't me. I shook that feeling and dropped to my knees. My heart stopped for a second and I almost lost myself to some darker version of me. I felt a hand on my face it was Syrena "Shush now, you're back." I'm back? I never left. I only nodded and hugged her. Minutes passed, then hours. The attack was in full charge, but every blow was just like the first repelled by the barrier that as Mar explained was unbreakable. We had moved to a different room, this one was more comfortable. The floor itself was like a giant mattress and it was full of Persian carpets and pillows. Zar was sleeping comfortably sprayed all over the pillows. Syrena was lying beside me, she couldn't sleep as there were too many things going on in one night. The sun had come out some time ago, but I didn't notice it. Marebo was sat in the lotus position. Maybe praying. Other people were with us now. I could see Fregar, the baseball bat size cock and the woman with the long tongue whose name was Reena. Many other wanderers and servants were in this room too. Many of them were human; but I could see fairies, shapeshifters, vampires, even a troll. This place was like a safe haven for runaways; misfits that didn't fit anywhere else. There were even three guys that no one talked too. They stood apart from the rest, but they looked at us as if they were better. Then I could see why, an elf, an angel and a god. A minor god I think. Each minute we could feel a sonic boom meaning that the protective barrier was still standing, until we heard a crack and then no boom came. What came was a blow so hard it shook the palace. People yelled. Many run to hide, others run without knowing where they were running to. Marebo told us to stay and left to see what was happening. Minutes passed and no more explosions were felt. The attack seemed to stop. Marebo came back minutes later he was scared. "Come with me. They are trying to came inside the castle. Our lord is not with them, come with me, now!!" He yelled the last part and we walked fast behind him. We walked for what seemed hours. We moved from one room to another we saw people sometimes and everyone was scared. One moment Zar walked up to my side and talked to me, "Can I ask you a favor?" "Anything within my ability," I answered. "You see Fregar, Reena and even Marebo. They are all here because they want to be here. I am not," he said. "Explain that." I was confused. "Many years ago Ferim saw me in a little village and he became obsessed with me. I don't know why, but ever since I haven't been allowed to leave this castle. I am nothing more than a servant," he said. As much as I once loved Ferim, I knew how Gods can be. They think of humans as toys that they can use as they please. "What can I do?" I asked. I knew if I got rid of Ferim's slave he wouldn't get too angry with me. "Easy, you are the lord of this castle now. You just have to release me. You just have to take me outside and tell me those exact words, but don't let Marebo know. He adores Ferim. He would do anything for him." He said with such conviction I felt sorry for him. He had been separated from his family. He had been abused, although he was somehow enjoying his time here, at least he loved his time with Fregar. Marebo stopped and said, "Wait for me in here. I will come back shortly." After that he disappeared. Then Zar looked at me, "Please, it is now or never...please." He pleaded as he kneeled in front of me. I really felt sorry for him. "Ok, ok! What do I have to do?" I asked. "What are you two talking about?" asked Syrena. "He's a prisoner here. Just because Ferim liked him and now he is a toy. I will set him free." I said. Syrena looked at me and smiled. "Better hurry up. Marebo will come back any moment." I looked at Zar. "This way. There are tunnels under the castle that lead outside," he said and I followed him. We went through a door and then he opened some kind of door under a carpet. I could see stairs. We went down and we arrived at a tunnel lit by torches. Not far from there I could see daylight. We ran in that direction. I passed the exit without problems, but Zar stopped abruptly. Like an invisible barrier prevented him from leaving. He reached his hand out for me. I grabbed his hand and pulled. He passed through the barrier like when a stone sink in a glacier of ice. As he left the palace a chain appeared around his neck. A chain as golden as the sun, and as thin as a strand of hair. I knew it was unbreakable. The chain ended on my wrist. "Now, say it, please. Tell me Ra Klez," he pleaded. His eyes begging as I walked up to him. I looked at his eyes and whispered, "Ra Klez" flowed out of my mouth. It meant be free in the language of the Gods. I heard something crack and I saw the chain turn into dust. He hugged me as if we were longtime friends. Then he did something I wasn't expecting. He kissed me. He was almost the same height as me. He backed off and took out a knife from his pants. "Thank you. I will be thankful forever. If Marebo asks for me tell him that someone requested my services in the other part of the castle. They will notice my absence either way, but at least I will have time to get far away," he said as he started to run a tear rolled down my cheek. It was a tear of happiness. I had helped someone. I will always remember him. I ran back to the room where Marebo left us waiting. Just as I arrived and sat down beside Syrena, Marebo entered. "Where is Zar?" was the first thing he asked. "Someone requested his services." I explained, Marebo just nodded. "This way my lord." He said opening the same door he had entered through. We followed him for another three rooms. "Where are we going?" asked Syrena. "To a safe place," was all Marebo he would answer. Some minutes later we arrived at a room. It was like a garden, even the floor was earth, and a three was growing in a corner. I thought that we were on ground level, but there was a window overlooking the labyrinth so we were in an upper floor. I walked to the window and I saw that the people who were attacking us had stopped, they weren't trying to enter the castle. They were standing around us, some were even leaving. "Marebo what the fuck is happening?" I asked. As I turned I saw Syrena being held by Fregar, the guy with the bat sized cock. Only now he had a body the size of a bull. A body that strangely he had not had before. Marebo was beside me and he grabbed my arm and said, "Sorry." Then he kissed me. I started to feel weak after he broke the kiss. I tried to grab my sword but my hand felt numb, I tried to use magic against him, but instead of a fireball I created a paper flower that fell to the floor. I looked at him, "Whaaat theee fff..." I tried to say as everything went dark. The last thing I saw was Marebo catching me before I fell. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ That's all for now folks ...
