Charlotte Nyx's Point Of View
" How many times do I need to say it to you, Alice? I agree with Sarah and Anna on this. We can't be too rash. If we were to do something and it leads to them killing Matthew... Or something even worse... I... We just can't, okay? We need to wait until our parents, along with King Warrick and Queen Aqua finish their plans. Or we find something concrete before that."
" We don't have time for that! You know this! It's been nearly 2 months! How much longer will we have to wait? Do you really think they're just holding him in a cell like he's some Noble prisoner? Something's wrong here, I can just tell! They attacked our parents at a Summit for crying out loud! No one's ever heard of something like that before. Summits are supposed to be a place of negotiations and discussions! The fact they were willing to attack there says more than enough about what they think of us and what they want to do to us! Listen to me, Charlotte. Whether or not you come with us, Cyn, Ruby and I are going to Alfheim tomorrow! We know he's got to be held up in the capital city there, Krystalbaum or whatever it's called. We can't take it anymore. You need to think this over, we leave at dawn, with or without anyone else."
/ BANG!/
With the last of her words, Alice stormed out of my house in a huff. She's been like this ever since we'd gotten the news about Matthew. Since then, he's hardly left any of our thoughts. Sitting here, wondering who exactly knows his real name and if I could use it while in the company of other members of the Alliance, but Sarah and Anna always refer to him as Matthew still, so I suppose I should do the same, right? Really that's the best I can do... Thinking of something so unimportant to try and get the images of what they could be doing to him out of my mind... I know Sarah and Anna said that he's not being tortured or beaten in anyway... They can tell because of those envious rings and earrings of theirs. But I have no real way to check on it myself... Maybe if I had magic to use... But I'm just a failure who can barely use an Appraisal Orb... No... I can't think like that. The reason I can be here in Paradise in the first place is because of both of my Jobs. I need to clear my head. It's all so much. It's nighttime and the air is cold enough now for me to wear long sleeves. I just need to take a walk for now.

I closed my door as I looked up at the sky. It's nice. The stars and the 2 moons were out. They were full moons as well. Matthew did mention before to me that in his world, he only had one moon to look at. I thought that sounded lonely in a way. I wonder if that's how he feels now? I mean, even though we're all together all full of worry and anxiousness, he must be sitting in a cell with only a person bringing him bread and water... If he's even that lucky in the first place. I walked and walked, first through the main streets where the magical devices kept the streets illuminated, then the side streets... Eventually, thinking that maybe I needed to spend some time in the forest near us... I'm a Dark Elf, I was raised in a forest. But no matter how far I went... Nothing. hoping that I could stop thinking about him stuck in a cell... It's not fair...
" Its.... Not... Fair..."
/ Click. Click./
With only the insects around to hear me, I couldn't keep it bottled up anymore. I'm sad. I'm angry... It's selfish, but I can't care anymore! I can't....
" ITS NOT FAIR! WHY IS IT HIM! WHY COULDN'T IT'D HAVE BEEN ANYONE ELSE! HE'S NOT EVEN A MEMBER OF ROYALTY HE'S JUST A HUMA-"
/ SWOOSH! SNAP! SNAP! CRASH!/
" HUH!?"
/ Thump!/
I quickly jumped back from where I was standing. Something just crashed down from the trees, whatever it was, it crashed hard and fast. Is it a bird? An enemy? Is it an Elf from Alfheim!? I need my sword! I reached for it... Dammit! I left it at home! I didn't even think to take my naginata! If it's like this, I'll need to get in range to take this thing out! I approached the crater it left carefully...
