Emily's POV

Parn and i started walking down back into Chi's  lair after poking around for a minute or two we found a pair of Chain Pliers inside one of the various pots stacked up together with weird black ooze coming from inside them. "yuck. WHAT IS in this thing? tar? because it looks and smells like it." "it's probably what Chi was using for sustenance down here maybe that's how she got her toxic smoke powers I honestly have no clue Mon Chere." 

"maybe it's the remains of her victims. 'oh nooo ahhh'. i joked with parn as I held my hands up to mimic what could have happen, but Parn doesn't laugh at my antics, rather he looks pessimistic as he glances over the pot's contents before gently holding his bell in his claws. 

 "maybe you're right... 

but luckily all her victims weren't adorable beautiful little ladybugs like yourself." parn takes me by my hand to pull me up away from the pots as i felt him snaked his hand around my waist as he tries to lean in to kiss me.

"knock it off you silly kitty." i couldn't help but booped his nose to make him snap out of it. "right..we have a world to save. it's not time to flirt around with you. sorry mon chere."

 "it's okay kitty maybe if you find an item that can help us out you may or may not get a little reward for it." "oh and what would that reward be chere?"parn smirked as he put his arm around me. he is such a flirt i can't help liking him. i mean i know he just does it to try to get me to start blushing.it's actually kinda cute of him to do that.  "uh ,uh,uh not telling. you'll have to guess on that one yourself my dear chat noir. come on let's keep going maybe we'll find something good." "right behind you chere oh and by the way my lady before i forget. " "hm? what is it parn?"  i suddenly felt his breath against my ear and his hand on my neck causing me to get a chill running down my spine from his hand being so cold."you are even more adorably beautiful when your blushing chere and red is such a good color on you." parn whispered to me as i started to feel my face burning...again. "G-GET IN FRONT OF ME. R-RIGHT NOW!" "of course Mon Chere whatever you say." parn walked ahead of me smirking like he was proud of what he just did.i wanted to strangle him so bad i started mimicking the action. *sigh* I started to ask my-self the one question that almost nobody i know has the answer to, "How can you love someone and also hate them at the same time?" i hurriedly followed that dorky, adorably cute, cat into the next room when he was holding a second gravestone,smaller than the first one, as he leaning next to a dimly lit flame with a cauldron hanging above it. "for the queen's grave i'm guessing?" "yes chere your right i also found another plate for the rose plaque." "Really? where?" "over in that bottle on the shelf over there behind you." 

"hm? this one?...ok who thought it would be a good idea and put the plate in a bottle and also HOW did it even get in here!?" "chere? have you ever heard of deus ex machina?" "yeah who hasn't? you see it almost everywhere in movies,TV, comics, even in video games and anime!" "what's anime?"

"it's um..."sigh*never mind parn..but why are you asking me about that,that being the whole deus ex machina thing?"

 "deus ex magica is what i call it." "huh?" "anything you can't explain due to magic or anything abnormal relating to magic or even the 'convoluted' solution that magic SOMEHOW plays a part in when within the veil. that's deus ex magica." "oh well...then it's pretty much 'i shouldn't ask questions about it and just go with' is pretty much what your really saying?" "exactly, just don't question it chere magic has some rules at times and no rules at all." "or in other terms deus ex magica."  "yes. now let's see if we can break that bottle." "well i can do that much." i took the bottle by the neck of it and i tried to smash it against the side of the shelf like you would see in shows and action movies."chere? what are you doing?"
