"For the TENTH TIME Dupree, Zinkoff and I had the same father and different mothers! Why do you think I have such talent in magic? I had magic master in my family, the man you vanquished!" Merlin said tiredly.
Dupree sank into another chair,(her other one had been demolished...), and her face was fearful. The only people who knew why were her fellow musketeers, Cae and Book. "So Zinkoff is REALLY your brother?" she asked. She mumbled something under breath along the ligns of, "he never said that..."
"Half-brother to be precise." Merlin replied, looking irritable.
Dupree's face suddenly turned into one of anger. "So you NEVER BOTHERED TO TELL US THIS???!!!"she screamed. "YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED ALL OF THIS, SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO THAT WRETCHED TOWER!!!!!"
Cae looked alarmed. "CALM DOWN Dupree!" she said nervously.
"CALM DOWN? I HAD TO TRAVEL THREE GOD-FORSAKEN DAYS THROUGH RAIN , SLEET, AND HAIL, AND I STILL FAILED!" Dupree yelled, her voice intensifying.
"If you could CALM DOWN, I will tell you where exactly your fellow musketeer has been taken." Merlin said calmly.
"FINE give me a second," Dupree said, and took a few deep breaths. "I feel calmer now, please tell us where Daniel has taken Book."
"I thought you'd never ask..."Merlin replied. "It is most likely that Book and Daniel are now at Zinkoff's tower, so, REVILIOSO!!"
Suddenly, a large sphere made up of fog like material appeared between Cae, Merlin, and Dupree.
"Clearly state to the the fog what you wish to see miss Dupree." Merlin said.
"Fine..." she muttered. "Show me my fellow musketeer Book Janafaire in her current state," she said.
The fog began to shift and change colors, and a murky picture emerged.
The first thing she saw was Book, her clothes ripped and her face bruised. Behind her stood Daniel talking to a tall man with black hair and a mischievous face, which now looked angry and confused.
They were at Zinkoff's tower, the same place Dupree had to travel three whole days to get, only to be foiled by Zinkoff himself.
He stopped talking abruptly when he noticed the fog. His face lost its angry look and was replaced by a teasing one that look much more natural upon him. His purple-blue eyes seemed to sparkle with mischief, a plan playing out in his mind. He waved nonchalantly through the fog to everyone, but seemed to take an interest in staring at Dupree.
"HOW DARE YOU HURT BOOK!!!" Cae yelled furiously.
"I AM INSULTED!" Zinkoff yelled mockingly, clutching a hand to his chest in a dramatic pose. "This GIRL here-" he pointed to Book. "-she was a total genius and tried to escape by jumping off the tower, from the 5th floor."
Cae sighed. "That does sound like something she would do..."
Book glared at both Zinkoff and Cae. "I'm not the smartest person, I am a 'blond' remember?" she said sarcastically.
Zinkoff turned his gaze to Dupree once more, and for a second, his eyes had a look of longing, before being replaced with a smug smile.
"HEYYYYYYYY Mayo-NAISE, as always, your gaze is ice cold." he said provokingly. Dupree continued to glare at him.
"Silent treatment eh?" he said. "Still angry about me taking your little musketeer friend Book?" Zinkoff asked. His face suddenly showed anger.
"Which by the way, is about, I don't know... SIX YEARS YOUNGER THAN I!! WHERE IS YOUR HUMANITY?!?! I AM NOT SOME CREEPER THAT DATES LITTLE GIRLS!!!"
Dupree looked at him with mock shock.
"YOU DON'T? I thought you had not a speck of humanity."
Zinkoff looked hurt for a moment, then smirked yet again.
"And I forgot to tell you, your outfit looks fantastic, not much left to the imagination..."
Dupree was fuming, and looked about ready to boil over.
"Don't answer him Dupree, there are bigger problems to worry about!" Book said through the fog. Zinkoff wore a confident grin.
"YOU TOO YOU POETIC HATER!" Book yelled at Zinkoff.
He looked bewildered, and then said,"so what if I dislike poetry?" (?)
Book gave him a challenging look.
"FINE, anyways, I won't accept Book for my wife, so, unless someone else volunteers-" he snook a look a Dupree.
"-I will basically blow up Questria."
"Why?" Merlin asked.
" I have my own personal reasons for things!" Zinkoff replied. Merlin just huffed in exasperation.
Dupree, however...
Dupree looked strangely stricken.
"No one should have to marry you you lousy excuse for a wizard..." she muttered to her self. "Hey Zink-Face!"
"Yes Miss condiment?" he replied, looking at Dupree with anticipation.
"I'll marry you."
"WWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT?????!!!!!!!!!" Cae and Book screamed.
"But not because I want to, because for one, I don't want to get blown to smithereens, and two, we can't leave Book with that little sneak."
"Why don't you PROVE IT mayo?" Zinkoff sneered.
Dupree thrust her right arm into the fog, grabbed Book, and yelled, "REVERSIONIO!!!!" A sudden flash of light occurred, and suddenly, Dupree was gone, but Daniel and Book were now standing where Dupree was before.
"Why did she do that?!?!" Merlin cried.
Cae and Book looked at each other with dread.
