*In the middle of the Maldock Wilderness*

Gaelle was pacing back and forth in front of the fire pit in the commun area of their hideout. Marcus was sitting on his chair, watching her with an amused look ''You are making me a little dizzy here!''

''He spent the whole night with him, Marcus! How could he do this to me!? Once he was asleep he could have left to come back to me!''

''Felix went through something really hard, calm down! You know we need him for our plan. Malik is comforting him so he doesn't give up, that's all!'' He couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Gaelle sigh loudly. 'She is way too overdramatic' Marcus thought.

Then they heard a door closing in the distance and they both turned in sync to see Malik walking out of Felix's house. He walked toward them, standing right beside his old friend and explained ''He is still asleep. All this power stealing thing really drained all his energy...'' Marcus stared at his friend mumbled ''I'm pretty sure it's not the onlything that drained him out.'' Malik tried not to smile. He didn'twant Gaelle to ask what he said or why he was smiling. Fortunatly, she was far enough to not have heard anything.

She looked at Malik and said while crossing her arms ''When will he wake up? So he can tell me where to go so I can do his job!?'' Marcus scoffed and walked away from them and going back in his house. He was way too tired to get in the middle of a romantic fight over false relationships. Once he was out of view, Malik quickly glanced at Felix's house to make sure he wasn't up. He then pulled Gaelle in a sweet embrace ''Shush now, you know you have to be nice to him...''

''I know! But I missed you...''

''It was only one night, sweety...'' he then kissed her softly ''You know you are the only one I truly love, right?'' She kissed him back and agreed ''I love you too.''

Malik smiled and then told her to go back to whatever she was doing since he was about to bring some food for Felix for when he would wake up. She reluctantly agreed and left to her house after giving him one last kiss. Once she left, he rolled his eyes. This was almost too easy! She was so blinded by love. Well they both were actually. He went back to his house to prepare a little something for Felix and himself and went back to his other lover's house. When he saw him sitting on his bed,he freaked out a little, he hoped Felix didn't saw him and Gaelle outside. But Felix wasn't looking angry, so Malik asked with hiss weetest voice ''Hey baby! slept well?''

''Mhmmm...Just woke up...'' Malik laughed a little when he saw Felix doing grabby hands. He didn't see anything after all. Malik walked closer and let the thin man put his arms around him ''I cooked a little something for breakfast~''

''Thanks!'' They both ate and as soon as Felix was done eating, he fell asleep again. Malik sighed, looks like he will have to wait a little longer before knowing where this castle was... He didn't want to rush the fragile sorcerer... Without him, this whole plan would sure fail... He had to take good care of him... Even if that meant waiting a little longer before getting what he wanted.

*In the Bronson's family Castle, Kyrasis, Egium Kingdom*

Maya, Vi, Lou, Lee and Adam all looked at each other, confused. Why were Prince Will and his parents doing here? They left Will in his hometown a few days ago. Why would he come visit so soon? They al lheaded to the throne room to see what was happening.

They all entered the room as Will, his parents and Jacob his servant step in too. They all gave this questionning look to Will and the young Prince only shrugged back to them. He had no idea why he was here either. Maya's parents went to greet the Goldhill's family ''You all made a safe trip?''

''Yes,we did, thanks for asking!'' Both fathers then gestured to their respective child to come closer. Which Maya and Will did with unease. Maya's father was the first one to speak ''KingGoldhill told me that both of you seemed to enjoy each others company now, don't you?''

Maya and Will both looked at each other and didn't dare answer this quite awkward question. Will'sf ather then continued ''And that is why we have decided that we should plan your mariage!''

''A WHAT NOW!?'' The six young people in the room exclaimed at the same time.Maya backed up a bit from his father, getting closer to her friends. At the same time, Will was looking at his father in confusion ''What do you mean, mariage?''

''Well, son, don't you like this princess? Don't you want to marry her?''

''NO!... I mean... yes... I mean, not like THAT! Father, you promised that you would let me choose my...''

''And I think I have been patient enough with you. Now it is your time to settle down and get ready to become a king too!''

''Huh, something's wrong here.'' Vi said, trying to get everyone's attention, but they were all too busy being pissed at the two Kings that nobody noticed the wave of magical energy irradiating from Maya. The fact that she still had her necklace that hid her power around her neck also didn't help the others to notice. Maya slowly started to levitate, small sparks of lightning escaping around her and her eyes shining like two little stars ''You never ask me what I want or need...''

''We know exactly what you want and need'' her father said ''we don't have to...'' but his words got stuck in his throat when he turned around to look at his daughter and saw that she was levitating. The sight of his daughter doing magic go him really mad ''What is the meaning of this!?'' He turned to face Lee ''You told me you solved her problem!''

''And I did... She is protected from anyone that would try to detect her magical aura...''

''BUT I WANTED HER MAGIC TO BE GONE!''

A big wave of energy rushed through the room, making everyone back off a few inches. Maya looked straight in her father's eyes ''You... you knew I had powers!? You wanted to get rid of them... THEY ARE A PART OF ME! HOW DARE YOU!?''

''It...It was to protect you!''

''PROTECT ME!? BY NOT TELLING ME THE TRUTH!?'' Lee could see how the magical powers of her friend were overwhelming her. She didn't want Maya to hurt herself or someone else so she stepped in front of Maya ''Sweety, I'm so sorry!'' And she threw some sleeping power at her face. Maya coughed a bit and fell asleep. Lou managed to catch her before she hit the ground. Lou, Lee and Vi looked at each other and all nodded, they needed to leave this place and put Maya in safety. They looked around for an escape, but Maya's mother tried to stop them ''What do you think you are doing with my daughter?''

''Protecting her!'' Lou hissed.

''We know what's best for her!'' Her father replied.

''No you don't! You abandonned her three years ago! We know her much better than you could ever imagine!'' Vi shouted while slowly backing off to get closer to the window. The guards were circling them slowly, Vi stepped on the window frame and looked down ''It's high...''

''High enough?'' Lou asked, still staring all the guards down. She was a good fighter, but they were a lot of them an only one of her. And with Maya unconscious in her arms, she couldn't do much to protect her friends. Vi whispered a small ''yes'' and they jumped out the window. Quickly being followed by Lee and Lou and Maya in the warrior's arms. Everyone rushed to the window and the last thing they saw was a gigantic black and green dragon with three young women on their back.

Adam was all the way to the back, right beside Will. When he saw Lee and her friends trying to escape, he knew what he had to do: Get Will to safety and tell him what they discussed before he came in. He slowly inched closer to the prince, trying not to get the guard's attention, but with a giant dragon right outside the castle, nobody was paying any attention to him. He then whispered in Will's ear ''Throw a fit or something and storm out of the room, I will explain everything.''
