I... It calls to me. It calls to me. I can hear it constantly in my head. I can hear its cries and its singing. I can hear it playing in my head over and over. It sounds sweet but also sharp. I pull my shirt on. My wounds have healed. The pain ends, only by the magic of the sword.

"Hector? It's almost time for your party." Nigel calls.

"I'll be right there." I say.

Of course, the princess wants a giant party for me. Even though I caused the mess in the first place. Ceces gone. Of course, she'd say I could come back, and she won't turn any of my friends to pigs. 

I open the doors to my cabinet. I pull out a chest. I take the key from Anubi's jaws. I open the chest. I have it. I can't let it go. It calls to me. It pulls at me. I've been ignoring it's calls for so long, but I can't ignore it now. I can't ignore the calls in my ears. I take it out. I unwrap it. It's beautiful. It's perfect. It's mine. All mine. And no one will take it from me again.

We'll soon be together, in the flesh.

"Good. I'll be waiting." I say.

The End.
