☆~♡~☆

When Arthur and I went out to start the plan when shit hit the fan and now we lost Cath. Like where did our cuddly Cath go off to?

"Cath? Where are you?" He murmurs frowning as we stop again looking around.

"Cath! Where did that cat go too?" I huff placing my hands on my hips.

"Don't worry, Lady Sara. We'll find him... Where are you? Answer me!" He reassures me then continues calling out to our little friend.

We continued running forward "Cath!" He stopped suddenly, grabbed my hand, and rushed back to an alleyway we ran past. "Show yourself!"

"Cath!" I called out while holding his hand until we both stopped realizing we were getting closer to the castle.

"Huh? We're getting closer to the castle."

I blink realizing something different...we weren't in that crazy illusion! Arthur realizes the same thing, and he beams.

"Alright! We've escaped from the illusion!"

"Yay~" I cheered, earning a laugh from Arthur.

"Arthur. Sara."

I blink hearing Cath's monotone voice calling our names.

"Cath!" I walk over as he jumps down right into my arms, I squeeze him gently.

"Welcome back."

"Thank goodness. We were worried."

"Yeah. I need to put a bell on you mister." I scold him gently, kissing the top of his head.

"So, where were you, and what were you doing?"

"Dinner."

"Huh?" Both of us were confused.

"Anyways, we should continue and get to the Holy Sword. To do that, we need to get up there. Can you be able to get up there without my assistance, Lady Sara?"

"I think I could..." I look at how to jump up, so I won't hit any weak spots.

He smiles and nods. I place Cath back in his satchel on his side. I let him jump up first, and following his steps he landed. Then he held my hand as we ran to the door, and we went forward through the hallways sneaking around the many hallways. Right when we got close to these armor statues against the walls we heard a voice, and I felt his magical power, it was strong.

"Arthur, be on guard! One of the Commandments is nearby." I whispered secretly panicking a bit on the inside. I wasn't that strong to fight him, but I will, to keep Arthur and Cath safe.

He nods, understanding

"Who are you?" We stopped and whirled around, being on guard and seeing a short form ahead of us. "How did you two break in? There's no sign that you two were affected by my Commandment. Are you two a thief hoping to grab some treasure?"

I started sweating squeezing Arthur's hand, I could feel my whole body tremble in fear at how much pressure that guy was in the air. But when I got a good look at the guy, I was taken aback he reminded me of a meaner-looking version of my dad. Wait, is this guy Zeldris? The leader of the Commandments since dad left them?

"I...need the Holy Sword." I heard Arthur breathe out shakily, he could feel the overwhelming pressure Zeldris's magical power was giving off.

I gasp whirled around as I sensed another presence too late to see a tall guy with pink hair and a freaking long mustache. Arthur pulls me into his arms protectively. The guy looks down at us.
