There was an awkward silence in  their cell.

Aloran looked at Ikayla and saw that her eyes were watery and tears were running down her cheeks.

"It's rare to see you cry" said Aloran with a deadpan expression.

"If I die here today I'll never be able to see him"said Ikayla her voice sounding broken.

"Who's him?, if I may ask" said Aloran.

"Thevyanne, The heir to the throne" said Aloran.

"What happened to him?"asked Aloran with concern.

" The king had three children Thevyanne,Xholdir and a daughter whom died in the hands of my mother who was a maid for the royal family, so the royal family ordered our mom to handover me to them since I had light energy....-" said Ikayla as she was interrupted by Aloran.

"Did not they punish your mom for being one of the reasons for their child's death?"asked Aloran.

"Well the child who died did not have light energy so me bearing the power to manipulate light energy compensated for the punishment" said Ikayla.

"So they did not give punishment to your mom cuz you had light energy?"asked Aloran.

"Yes because if a royal did not have light it's considered a shame and people lose respect over us, so it's a win situation for them"said Ikayla.

Aloran noticed that the bodies of Horwal and his little brother started to fade into thin air.

"Look at them dying"said Aloran with a deadpan expression.

"Oh don't worry, they are not real,the illusions are dying cuz of the energy pressure around here" said Ikayla.

"Why are you crying about not being able to see him all of a sudden?, do you love him?"asked Aloran aiming to continue the topic.

"Oh....well since I was not a royal blood,I was bullied from my childhood by the other members of the Royal family. But Thevyanne always looked after me and Xholdir did not care, Xholdir never bullied me or took care of me" said Ikayla.

"Well your story is quite tragic but not tragic as mine, being trapped in another body in another world with a forbidden energy and a creature far more powerful than a military being the voice in my head" said Aloran.

"well, is there any reason thevyanne looked after you?" Asked Aloran not leaving space for Ikayla to redirect the conversation to his side.

"I don't know, maybe it's just some kind of sympathy" said Ikayla.

"Why are you considered a rogue?now" asked Aloran.

"It's because I left the royal family for him, urmmmm.. so Theyvanne never wanted war, even though he was so strong he never wanted to fight people weaker than him, he did not like the murder of innocent nor violence, so he refused kingship and left the royal family 7 years ago , so I left too, to find him, but the royals thought that I ran away with him and I was the reason for his departure, But the locals do not know that I left the royals and the royals labelled me as dead  recently after the  latest illusion test to find out the dark energy user which is you"said Ikayla clarifying all of Aloran's doubts.

"So how do we get out of this demon realm?" said Aloran.

"Nope, this is not the original demon realm, This is just a trap domain" said Ikayla.

"Explain" said Aloran.

"No one can use their energy to the fullest and they leak at least one percent of their energies while casting a spell, so these energies get collected in one somewhere  and form domains which has really weird supernatural features like negating energy etc. but the chances of encountering trap domains are really rare" said Ikayla.

"So these demons are just illusions?"asked Aloran.

"No, The first process of the formation of a trap domain is a large energy tornado, and the souls of the people are caught by the tornado and made into the creatures of the trap domain, so these demons must be the souls of members of some cult by the way they talk and behave about someone called GHOST" said Ikayla.

"You are smart"said Aloran smiling for the first time at Ikayla.

                "BREAK REALITY"
    SAID A VOICE OUT OF NOWHERE

The reality around them broke and distorted creating a tear in the domain and a Tall figure walked into the domain  with a Sword. The only thing glowing were his eyes which were dark purple.

"Thev-"said Ikayla.
