“Your Queen! My lady! My fair! Please stop this madness!” A voice cried out.
“We won’t hesitate to kill you if you continue!” Another demanded.
The Queen looked back to see Naminé and Unity holding their weapons in hand. A tired Asher gawked back to see his friends gazing at him and Rian with smiles on their faces ready to fight the masses of butlers, maids, and fighters under the queen.
‘They didn’t just come for me, did they?’ The crowd had been growing in size and intensity ever since a young man who claimed to be the new young prince was revealed that he had been hiding in his home holding a tiny wooden sword, waiting for the arrival of the queen before attacking.
"Bringing him here is what cursed him!" Nickolai accused.
"How dare you speak, Prince Nickolai!" The Queen shouted maddened.
"The princess can feel our aura's mother!" Nickolai explained.
"I see..." The Queen replied.
She paced the floor pondering to herself. Asher was confused and tired already; He just wanted everything to go away. However, something inside him told him not to give up hope so easily. It wasn't long before the Queen stopped her pacing and looked up at the small group standing there with grins on their faces.
"I have an idea." She said in a calm manner. "
"It better be good, because we're running out of time." Nickolai scoffed.
"You shall help me defeat Eizen!" The Queen exclaimed.
Asher blinked in confusion while the other two were dumbfounded at her statement.
"What?" They both asked simultaneously.
"I thought you were working with Eizen!" Unity shouted.
"No, I never intended on working with Eizen!" The Queen shouted back.
"Then why should we trust you?!" Naminé yelled.
"It is true I had sent your sister to live with Eizen, but we were hardly on the same terms…" The Queen replied.
Naminé and Unity looked back at each other before turning to face Asher. His eyes widened as they began pleading with him to agree.
Asher sighed and looked down.
His body began feeling heavy as it became harder to move. All of a sudden the room grew dark and he found himself collapsing to the ground.
"This has gone on enough! I am going with my brother!" Nickolai muttered.
"Brother is now cursed because you avoided facing Althea!" Nickolai argued.
The queen glared at Nickolai for a moment before letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Fine...but I must make one condition…I want everyone else to follow our lead." Naminé and Unity nodded.
"Very well..." The queen agreed reluctantly.
"Alright!" Naminé cheered.
Nickolai laughed in return.
"Sleep is overrated. You'll be fine!" He assured.
"You are too damn annoying kid! I will teach you later!" Asher shouted.
"Prince Asher!" Naminé and Unity shouted in unison.
Asher ignored them and closed his eyes as soon as he collapsed onto the ground.
***
The next morning, when Asher awoke he found himself in a large bedroom with a beautiful window overlooking a beautiful garden filled with flowers. His body felt sore so he tried moving but failed. After several attempts he finally managed to sit up and look around.
"Where am I?" Asher questioned quietly.
Just then a soft knock sounded on the door causing Asher to turn towards the sound and smile.
"Come in…" Asher spoke.
As she entered the bedroom Asher noticed she was carrying breakfast on a tray.
"Hello, Asher…" Sienna greeted softly.
"Oh, hello. Is something wrong?" Asher asked nervously.
"I am sad you will be leaving me soon..." She sighed.
He clutched her fingers looking into her eyes.
"Do not worry Sienna…tomorrow, we shall leave together!" Asher smiled.

Asher stared at her before nodding and placing her hand on his shoulder. Sienna let out a happy squeal before throwing her arms around Asher and burying her head into his chest. After a moment she pulled away smiling widely.
"Thank you, Asher." She whispered.
Another knock startled them both before they turned to see someone enter the room. As he watched Rian walk closer to them; he saw him smile softly and hold his hand. Asher held Sienna tightly for dear life. This was it! He would get rid of this curse and everything could go back to how it used to be! Before long Rian joined them wrapping his arm around Sienna’s waist before looking towards Asher.
"Ready for our first official journey together?" He asked gently.
"I think so. I cannot believe that this is really happening." Asher gawked annoyed.
"You'll be alright, Asher." Sienna giggled.
"You're right." Asher agreed.
"Get rest we leave later." Rian scolded.
Asher grinned at his friend before laying back against the bedding. Within moments he fell asleep.
“Wakey wakey~! Time to leave~!” Asher heard Sienna cheer happily.
Asher groaned as Sienna jumped onto the bed. Sienna then crawled into his lap kissing him repeatedly until he woke up.
“Mmmm…morning Sienna.” He chuckled.
“Are you two ready?” He asked.
“Wait! Nickolai we haven’t even eaten yet! We’re barely dressed!” Asher whined.
"Everyone wants to leave already and I am curious to finally get to use spells!" Nickolai shouted excitely.
Sienna giggled before hopping off of Asher's lap and walking over to Nickolai who opened his book to reveal a large spell book full of notes, diagrams, drawings, and even more notes.
“You know, I am actually very glad that Nickolai was able to get us out of there. That was one hell of a trip…” Sienna muttered.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Asher asked.
"Well…I want to take this opportunity to learn magic from someone who isn't my mother or the tutors!" Nickolai explained.
“Yeah, yeah…just don't forget to pack properly this time." Asher smirked.
"Thank you big brother!" He shouted.
Asher rolled his eyes but a small grin appeared.
"So, what are we doing first?" Nickolai asked excitedly.
"We need clothes first then we should probably meet up with everyone else so-" Sienna began.
They all run downstairs to find the queen holding a broken dish with tears in her eyes. A maid, or more like, butler, stood behind her. She held her shoulders back stiffly despite crying.
My baby boy is leaving me..." She whimpered.
"I will be back!" Nickolai explained.
The Queen hugged him as she sniffled and nodded. After a little while, they broke apart and left the dining hall. Asher turned back to Sienna and sighed sadly at the sight.
“Let’s go.” He suggested.
“Sure.” She replied.
Outside at the gate they found Rian, Naminé, Unity and Nickolai at the head of the group all smiles waiting for Ash and Sienna to arrive.
“Hey…” Rian greeted.
Asher nodded and walked forward slowly to stand beside Sienna.
"Let's go." Asher stated.
"Wait!" The queen yelled.
She ran up to Asher holding a small charm and handing the other to Nickolai. She felt guilty looking into her sons eyes noticing the hue in right eye had changed since the time he became cursed.
"Bring Nickolai back to me..." She huffed.
"Mom! It will be fine!" Nickolai blushed.
"Whatever I will bring the twerp back when were done!" Asher shouted.
“Okay! Let’s go!” Nickolai said running out first followed by Rian and the rest.
Once they reached the entrance, Asher looked back at the queen one last time and then led the others outside and into their new world.
