It wasn't far, at least not as far as they thought. Wag found it strange that there aren't any guards. 'That's weird, he usually has a lot.' Wag thought. Wag slowed down to a stop, Seto as well. Wag looked around.

"He's expecting us." Wag said. Seto was about to say something when a familiar face sets out of the shadows a few feet away in front of them.

"It isn't too late to leave," Haidyn said. Wag and Seto look at her. Wag takes a step towards her.

"Haidyn, you--"

"Don't start with me about how I can be better, Master James. You have no room to take about what is right and wrong when you were Archer's, right-hand man." Haidyn said. Wag hesitated for a moment.

"And so are you." Wag said. Haidyn looked away.

"I'm warning you two, you need to leave. And if you won't, I'll have to make you." Haidyn said. Seto looks at her, he sighs.

"You are talking like you actually care, I can tell you don't. All you care about is Archer. And you hurt and almost killed your own Master--" Haidyn lifts her hand up towards Seto, her eyes glowing.

"Don't you dare talk about Lincoln, you slave!" She yelled. Seto froze, Wag looked at her. She smirked. "Oh, so you didn't tell them your little secret?" Seto's hands ball into fists, Wag looks at Haidyn. He grabs Seto's wrist.

"Wait, don't! They want this--"

"Go back to your owner, Seto, it is about time someone put you in a cage where animals like you belonged." She said. Seto could feel himself getting mad, but once she said slave, he was already mad. Now she is only making it worse. Wag was about to speak, but Seto tore his arm out of his grasp.

"Seto, you fight her and you'll fall into Archer's trap. And Jazmine wants you to come back home, remember?" Wag snapped. Seto looks at Wag. "So calm the nether down--"

"Oh, did you get another owner, cockroach?" Haidyn asks Seto. Seto looked away from her, he felt mad but he knew Wag was right. Now it was just upsetting him. Wag let go of Seto, he looked at Haidyn, he instantly flung a ball of red plasma at Haidyn. It hit her, knocking her off her feet and back a few feet before she hit the ground. Seto looks at Haidyn.

"Shoot her with a lightning bolt." Wag said to Seto.

"You want to give us--"

"Just do it!" Wag snapped at Seto. Seto flinched. Haidyn gets up and attacks them. Seto was about to do a spell, but he had to back up and he tripped over his feet and fell backward. Wag gets hit and falls backward too, he crashed into a wall, making him go through it yelps in pain. Seto's eyes widen, he looks at Haidyn. He quickly gets up, jumping backward as she struck at where he once was at. Thunder starts to rumble above, Seto's eyes glow pure white, electricity ricocheting off him. Haidyn gritted her teeth.

"That's cheating." She said through her gritted teeth. Seto flicks his wrist towards her, a lightning bolt struck her, making her scream and collapse. Seto's eyes faded back to normal. He ran over to her. He grabbed her sword, Haidyn looked at him. "You gonna kill me, Seto?" Seto steps on her hand, he stabs the sword into her wrist making her scream again.

"No," Seto said. He lets go of the sword, leaving it standing up on her wrist. "But you won't be able to perform spells for quite a while." Seto looks over at where Wag landed, he runs over to him. "James!" He looks through the hole in the wall, stone bricks were scattered inside, some in a pile. "No." Seto climbed through the hole and pushed bricks off Wag. He kneeled down beside him. "James." He shook him, trying to wake him up. "Wake up, wake up! I can't find Archer without you, I can't return home without you." Wag remained motionless. Seto bit his bottom lip. 'I'm not leaving him here. He must have hit his head, knocking him out.' Seto thought. Seto grabbed Wag's arm, he pulled him up on his back with difficulty. He crawled out of the hole in the wall and outside. He grabs Wag's knees, letting his arms hang over Seto's shoulders, along with his head. Seto walked over to Haidyn. "Where's Archer?" Haidyn looks at him and he sees a look of concern flash on her face, but it disappears as fast as it came.

"Lost your guide?" Haidyn asks.

"Haidyn, where is Archer?" Seto asks. Haidyn looks away from him.

"I ain't gonna tell you." She said. She stays quiet for a few moments but finally spoke. "Is...Is Lincoln okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine," Seto said.

"I hate Light mages, but after pretending to be an apprentice to him, it makes me wish I was actually apprentice to him, I didn't really treat him like he should be treated, yet he took it." She said. Seto smiles a little.

"That's Lincoln alright. He sees the good in people, maybe he saw some of you." Seto said. Haidyn looks at him, her eyes narrow.

"This doesn't change anything, Seto. You're lucky I can't do one-handed magic." She said. Seto nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I am," Seto said. He walks past her.

"Do you even know where you are going?" Haidyn asks.

"No, but that's what makes it interesting," Seto said.

"That's stupid logic!" Haidyn shouted. Seto smiled a little as he walked up the path. 'I know it is, but I don't have any other idea with James unconscious.' Seto thought. He looked at the path, the path was long and going up an incline, torches were stuck in the ground lighting it. He knew this path had to be something since Haidyn was blocking it. 'James will wake up soon, hopefully before I find Archer.' Seto thought to himself. For now, he kept pressing on, hoping to find something or hoping for Wag to wake up soon.
