" What? The found a cure for the curse?! Impossible!" Medea exclaimed. 

" Mom, relax. They will never succeed in bringing her back to life." Darien chuckled.

" By the way, Darien, this question has troubled me for days now. Why did you help me?" Medea looked curious as she looked at her son's triumphant face.

" I just thought you needed a little help here." Darien shrugged as he answered.

" Oh? I never asked for your help, darling. Ever since your father left me, I relaized I had to do everything all by myself." Medea smiled as she let her thoughts cloud her mind.

" Mom? You okay?" 

" Uhh--yes. Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" 

" You just looked lost, that's all."

" I just remembered the time when your father left us, you were just a little baby. He left us when he knew I was a witch. And that's when I realized that no one can help you but yourself. I taught you everything you need to know about the world and all its secrets. That's when I realized I could never trust someone again." tears fell from Medea's eyes. 

" Hey," Darien held his mother and hugged her tight. " You got me, ma. Don't forget that."

" Darien" Medea sounded calm again. " Why are you so confident that they won't succeed in rousing the princess? I heard rumors about True Love's Kiss, and how it can break the curse. Why so at ease?"

" Because I am Sabia's True Love."
