Kazuya picked up Kaede and Iwa picked up Khione.
They walked out and heard something falling. They looked up and saw Kian, but then as soon as he got close a fox jumped out and grabbed him taking him down the stairs then transformed back into... May!
Commander Elara put her finger on the boys neck "He's alive."
May laughed "Not like he can die!"
Elara looked at her like she was a psycho
"Oh uh... Sorry" May nervous said remembering not everyone knew he couldn't permanently die
"So we have 3 casualties on our side. Where's Leto? Actually where's Selene?!"
Then the door burst open and a bunch of people flew through the girl came out with a tired sigh "I was trapped... So... Cold. What's going on?"
Selene looked at Khione, Kian, and Kaede.
"They um... Passed out."
Selene walked up "So, what do we do now? We're free right. Oh I saw Leto by the way."
"Where?!"
"Why do you seem so mad?"
"Because she betrayed us... Hold on"
She explained everything to her.
Selene sat on the ground "How could she?"
Khione strirred awake "Where am I?"
"Not in the Tartarus, you're safe now." Alya said rubbing her head
"Where's... Khiade?"
"Huh oh... We haven't seen her" May answered
Khione rose up and looked around, the Castle was destroyed with ice sticking out of certain parts.
"Khiade I'm coming..."
***
Kian opened his eyes the area around his wasn't the prison. Was he outside?
He got up and looked around, all he saw was table in the middle of a grassland.
There were 2 people, he walked up to get a closer look. One was Estra, the other was Lux."
Lux was munching on a pie. "Ah! Kian you're here!"
Estra looked up and smiled "Hello my dear child."
"Why am I here?"
"Just to talk to you, I wanted to know how you did on the Trail. I'm proud, but... Still kinda disappointed."
Kian rubbed his neck remembering his recklessness.
"However, how did your first. Spirit awakening feel?"
"Um... Well I couldn't really feel or think, so empty I guess"
"Correct, awakening your spirit removes all feelings and emotion, along with though, which is dangerous considering you might hurt the wrong person."
"So I can't use it continuously either."
"You know I'm still surprised your planning to marry 4 different females."
Kian laughed nervously "Yeah..."
"You better treat them well Mr, or I'll become your next opponent."
"Well I'll be talking to Lux, you can go on ahead to the real world."
Lux snapped and Kian woke up, on the soft grass, well cold grass.
He got up and saw the girls chatting amongst one another.
He smiled and looked for Kazuya who was looking down the hill they were on.
Commander Elara was there too along with Iwa and Nina.
Kaede walked over to Kian "Were going out to look for Khiade. Come on"
Kian looked at Khione who was restless and nodded.
***
The group began to walk around the Castle shouting her name, but no response came.
Then they heard barking they saw a black dog barking at a box.
Khione walked over and froze it making everyone gasp.
"Come on out your safe..."
There was no answer Khione opened the box and the other side was broken.
Khiade has snuck away.
"Damn it!"
"KHIADE!"
They kept walking until they saw footprints in the snow.
Elara looked at them "She's running from someone, see there are 2 different footprint. One with boots, the other is more than likely your sister."
"A guard?" Kian asked
"We need to hurry!" Khione yelled as she ran in the path of the footprints.
Soon enough they saw Khiade from a distance and someone else.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER!!!" Khione yelled stopping on the ground created a row of ice.
The person stretched out their hand and strings went out cutting the Ice into pieces.
"Leto?" Kian said
"Damn it, you bitch!" Khione yelled.
Khiade was stuck between a cliff and the former spy.
"I always loved the King, having you two will do nicely, now, you have two choices, keep fighting and I kill your sister, or both of you come with me to the King. Choose wisely, slave."
Khione looked at her sister then Leto and her eyes dilated in pure rage.
"Die, Die, Die, Die, DIE! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL FREEZE YOU TO DEAAATH!" Khione screamed as she fell to her knees.
"Fine... Take me and Khiade to the King" Khione said in tears
Everyone tried to protest, but nothing got through.
Khione walked up to Leto and was chained along with everyone else and Khiade.
"I'm sure he'll love me, once he sees you! Oh how much I'll blush, I'll sing and dance in the light he showers me in. LOVE, PURE LOVE! He'll put me above all his other lovers. Above the Queen herself! I'll become the new queen and be his forever! We'll bask in the sunlight and he'll kiss me over and over! Telling me how great of a wife I am and I'll cherish him like I'll die in the next second!"
Leto began walking them towards another group of Guards.
"To the King! I have gifts for him!"
The guard nodded and walked towards a wagon that had other slaves inside then wagons followed. As Leto and the Kian's group got in.
