          It's been a month since you've been in the Dark World, Susie and Kris have been on awfully long field trip since then and you've been in the dark castle keeping an eye on Ralsei while they were gone. You were sitting in one of his chairs next to the fire reading a book dictating the history of the dark kingdom. Ralsei came in waltzing in singing a soft lil' lullaby when he stopped to notice you. 'That one is my favorite!' he exclaimed. 'how are you getting along?' 'Very far, 10th chapter!' you said. 'Well, that's wonderful!' He said, clapping his paws in excitement. 'Do you want anything?' Tilting his head slightly. 'not really.' you said putting the book back to it's shelf. 'Well... there is maybe one thing.' you said with a slight pause. 'would you like to go on a walk with me?' Ralsei slightly blushed. 'W.. With m... Me?' He bashfully said. 

'Of course!' you exclaimed. 'I would feel honored to walk along the trails with the prince of darkness'! Ralsei giggled. ' a... all right he said.' 'just give me some to prepare.' 'I need to get dressed also.' you followed up. 'Who knows what's lurching in those forests.' So with swift ease you went up stairs to a small bedroom ralsei had made you. you putted on a white robe, it was soft and silky and white as winter snow. Now clad in glittering chain mail you went out the door, grabbing your spear, a bag filled with baked goods and a canteen full of water.  As you walked down the stair you saw Ralsei's beautiful white form and makeup in the soft candlelight. It was something you haven't seen before! but before you could regain you barring's you accidently missed a step and fell down the stairs! Armor clanking as you tumbled. Ralsei ran quickly to your aid. 'Oh my goodness!, are you okay?' He exclaimed. 'Yeah I'm fine' you said, slowly getting up. 'a small fall doesn't hurt anyone' you said trying to act tough. Ralsei felt relived from the comforted words. 'So are you ready' you said. 'Yeah...' Ralsei spoke softly.

Without further hesitation both Ralsei and you exited the castle from the back entrance. The wind softly blew as you looked at the Dark skies, stars twinkling ever so brightly against a shimmering crescent moon. both of you reached the tree line where the path slightly formed. You took a gander at the castle one more time as you entered with the prince.
