Enchantment

Dark Drama

Choosing to ignore what's behind me, I have Squishy fly with all his might flanked by Kyle and Aliyah. As we travel deeper into Laufeia's Dark army they become more ruthless in trying to shoot us down.

"Separate!" I yell and with discreet nods Kyle and Keith left the bubble to fly higher, protected by a force field. Aliyah and Joel spread to left with her own bubble protecting them.

We're not far from Laufeia, I can see her waiting. Suddenly Rumpelstiltskin is by us, seemingly back floating on the air.

"Rumpel?" I question.

He does his mad laughter, "Indeed, dearie."

"Decide to help?" it would do good for someone with Rumpel's abilities to join our side but then he might ask for payment. I have to remind myself that I can't trust this sneaky elf as much as I like him.

"Something to that effect- yes." He giggles, "Love is a pain, for yours is messing with the game."

I roll my eyes. I was prepared to kill, legitimately kill, not solve rhymes, "English,"

"English I speak it, yea I do. English I speak it, how bout you?"

"Rumpel, I command you,"

"Chill your cherry, my blossom. Turn around, find your Beloved and see the damage he's done. He's fighting a war but not the one you are." Rumpel then proceeds to drop. He lands smoothly on his feet and taunts the Dark warriors.

I pull Squishy's reins, twisting us and hovering. In the distance where I brought the guardians there's Reason and he is fighting them. He's killing them. The man I love is tearing down my army, murdering our people, attacking those who would lay their life for him. Reason lives for setting a fire off inside me. Squishy already knows what I have to do; he flies to my Beloved.

I quickly throw up protective shields around my guardians and heal those Reason wounded. Luckily it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought and no warrior wasted their life by just standing next to Reason.

Guys, Reason has gone insane. Keep fighting, I'll fuck him up. I warn my other Elementals.

I feel them shift their attention briefly to Reason before sending their energies and power to the warriors as I did. Then my Elementals finished off their current opponents with reinforced anger. Some feel rage while others are mildly annoyed. I'm stuck in the middle.

Normally I'd freak and immediately drill Zayden and beg him to tell me what to do. Not today. It was a mutual constant that everything I did today would be based off my own gut. Zayden is going to stay silent, no wise words or controlling my body. We both agreed it's best I retake our kingdom by myself but already things are going wrong.

Squishy lands a few feet from Reason and I dismount him and send him to Heroics for the time being. First I try to reach out with my mind but Reason has cleverly blocked me and I can't breach his walls.

Kyle somehow materializes beside me, "It's not him Mel, that's not Reason."

My brows shot to my hairline, "Really?"

"Well, that's Reason but that's not him. Darkness wormed its way in him. I don't know how or when but it did." He said in a rush.

I stand there and grab Kyle's bicep. He allows me to see through his eyes and how unique they are. Kyle can see Darkness in others and at the moment it's swimming in Reason. "The Black Eagle,"

"Seems I got his 'can spot my minions' thing when he touched me. So, is Ali still your next in line."

I grin and nudge him, "By heritage yes. Thanks, now go defend us."
