Chapter 18.

The next few weeks were spent with unimaginable types of training. The poor boy felt as if his heart was to collapse one of these days, but he had more control of his abilities.

During one of his training sessions, he wad told that Liam was under the Cheshire's power and as long as the Cheshire ruled he would not wake up. The thought of Liam never waking up made the boy push himself harder than he ever had before.

He refused to live a life in fear of the Cheshire and live a life without Liam. In the period of time he had spent trapped in this world, he had grown fond of the man. The man of many talents, as Zayn liked to refer to him as.

Zayn threw punch after punch, dodging out of the way of the other trainee's blows before shards of metal that appeared out of thin air came towards him.

He dived out of the way, but not fast enough, seeing as he was nicked on his arm, glaring at the other trainee, who was smiling confidently.

"No! You cheated, no magic allowed. This was hand to hand combat." He argued as the other shrugged causing Zayn to shove him down, resulting in N laughing.

"What do you plan on doing once you take the Cheshire down," N asked one day. "do you plan on taking his spot? Ruling over all? Pushing down those who do you wrong?"

The raven haired boy rolled his eyes and shrugged as he picked at his nails, sitting on the dusty floor of the training grounds.

"Shut your mouth," he mumbled softly. "I don't think I'm fit for the job, but I never genuinely thought about it. What happens when I kill Cheshire? Who takes his place? Someone equally as evil? One of his royal guards? And, if fate choose me? How could I rule over an entire kingdom of people?"

N swung his feet back and forth as he shrugged, flashing the other a wild grin.

"I think you'd be a great ruler, if I'm completely honest." He said with a laugh as Zayn nodded, leaning back against the bricks.

"Thank you, N, but I disagree. I don't know a thing about ruling, and I don't have time to think about it. The only thing on my mind is killing Cheshire, for Liam and for everyone else. No one should have to live in fear under him. I don't care what it takes to put an end to him. I don't care if I have to rip his beating heart out of his chest with my own two hands." He said quietly as he rubbed his thumb across a scar on his hand.

N nodded before jumping down from where he was as he looked at Zayn.

"Like I said, a great ruler."
