"Ok, drop your weapons, time for hand on hand battle! George! You fight Kenneth. And Ruby, you fight Acacia!" Akuji continued to give orders until every single creature was occupied with a duty. Nymphs fought fairies, unicorns fought griffins, and the stronger creatures fought Akuji himself.
After training the massive crowd of creatures, Akuji decided to take a break. He went inside to check on Charlie. Once he walked into the main hall, he realized something quite peculiar. A line of green fire trailed off towards the queen's old room. The door creaked open as he neared it.
"Hello?" He called out. The only sound was the echoes of his own voice. "GET OUT OF ME!!!" Something cried. Akuji sniffed the air. Charlie..? He thought. He carefully followed the scent into the library to see Charlie pinned on the floor...But it seemed as nothing was there.
"What's going on?!" Akuji frantically asked, trotting over to Charlie's side. "Get out!! It mustn't get you too!! RUN!" Akuji obeyed...partially. He ran out and only closed the door enough to where he could watch through a small crack. He watched as a black spirit arose from midair and swirled around Charlie like a tornado. Debris flew around the room, starting to blind Akuji.
Suddenly, then wind stopped. The dirt and other mess in the air dropped to the floor, and Charlie disappeared. Akuji heard a faint whisper as the dark spirit left. A voice like Charlie's..
"Don't let them go alone.."
