Twisted Impact Fantasy

Is It For Love Or Gold

As he walked over to her, he kneeled, looking at her in the eyes. The rest only looked at each other waiting for his response.

"...How is it... that I did not realize it sooner? It's been a long time my dear friend." Haya could only let out a sigh as she laughed at the fact that Malleus still remembered her. "It seems that Lilia was right about you. You'll bring light to this unending darkness." Malleus continued. But sadly he was cut off when in the distance they all heard the cries of horses.

"Riders!" the red-haired man yelled.

"They found us! Malleus, please cut us down, if you don't we'll all be killed!" Haya begged. But her begging went unheard. "I don't like this, Malleus. It's starting to look like I should have just stayed behind." The fiery-haired man cried out as he started to freak out. Upon climbing a tree the red-haired man's eyes widened. "What do you see, Riddle?" the man with glasses asked, as the redhead, known as Riddle, jumped down. "It's the Queen's riders. And they're coming this way." he said, as he ran to where the rest of the group was. "We'll take her but not him!" the lion man yelled as he pointed to Haya. "What?!" "No, both of us!" Haya added quickly. Not wanting to leave anyone behind. "Damn you princess. Cut them down, Vil!" the lion man yelled, as Vil glared at him, "I don't take orders from you, Leona." even though he said this to the lion man that is now known as Leona, he still cut both Rook and Haya down.

"Move it! Move it!" Vil yelled as he cut both Rook's and Haya's bindings. Helping her get up, as they all took off.

"Over here." Mallues said as he offered his hand to Haya. Confused, she slowly placed her hand on top of his. "We'll be safe here." he then walked over to what looked to be a small mountain with overgrown bushes. But as he moved the overgrown plant, there stood in front of all a secret entrance. Everyone, one by one entered, the last one being Rook, who moved the plant back to its normal place.

Back with the Queen's riders. A man, with tan skin, very short black hair, with black wolf-like ears and tail, is then seen walking up to one of the bindings that was forgotten. Picking it up, he took a sniff. Behind him were no other than Ziddim and Xander. The man then walked over to Ziddim, giving him the rope, all while saying, "They're close." This, however, does not pass Xander's ears. As his ears twitch in both happiness and nervousness.

As the lot continues walking through the mountain and into caves. They all then come out through the other side, and in Haya's eyes, it almost feels like she has just entered a different world. The grass, the trees, the flowers, everything was so healthy that one could even say that, yes, this is another world.

"We are almost there," Malleus said, as he walked ahead of everyone. Confused, Haya looked up to her old friend, "What do you mean, Malleus?" "You'll see." and so, as they continued, music could be heard all around them. "Blasted fairy music." Leona said as he looked like he was ready to kill the next person who dared challenge him. "This takes me back. Oh, comme cet endroit m'a manqué." (Oh, how I missed this place.)

It was now Rook who spoke up. And of course, this left Haya confused. "Good thing there's plenty of moss lying about." The man with fiery blue hair said as he handed some to Leona. "Where are we, Rook?" Haya asked as she looked up at Rook. And upon hearing his name being called, he did not look back down to her. But still answered her, "They call it Sanctuary, madame. It's the home of the fairies. And..." It was then that he looked down at Haya, with a smile, a smile that Haya found beautiful in that very moment. "...It is also where we all grew up." He finished. Then small fairies fly by both of them, with one of them waving to the two. "Hey, look! They made it back!" A new voice is then heard. Then sounds of more people, and then it came to her, this is the village where her father had once taken her to meet Rook and his family. She was only five at the time. But happy to know that this place still looks the same. Except for the homes. For it seems that everyone here lived in camps.
