Hello my beasties! Here's the next chapter for this little story you seem to love so much!(Just for reference, Magh Maell is an Irish mythology term, look it up if you want!)(Yes, this chapter includes Curtis. Finally right?)

Before we begin, thank you for 1.1k reads on my story! You guys are fabulous!

The moon was full and the night was clear.

Duke was waiting for Sindera to sneak out of the house.

As he stood outside in the shadows, waiting, he wondered what he was thinking when he agreed to go on this crazy rescue mission.

He knew that encountering Curtis again could end possibly in death(either his own or Sindera's), and Curtis probably was still angry about their last encounter.......

So why had he agreed to do something that was so risky and dangerous?

He thought back to the events of the past night. Sindera had been so worried about her friend, this y/n, and she thought that Curtis may have her friend.


Maybe it was because she looked so sad or that she blamed herself for her friend's disappearance(He knew all too well about losing someone who was close to you...) that he had decided to help her rescue her friend, but it wasn't because he liked her or anything, it was just so that he wanted her to be happy so that she'd get back to helping him reclaim his castle.


It wasn't like he was interested in her or anything, right?


Just then, Duke heard someone cough just above near the window.

Stepping out of the shadows and looking up, he saw Sindera looking out the window.

"Sorry to make you wait, my dad took forever to get to sleep so I couldn't exactly leave while he was still awake."


Duke rolled his eyes.


Humans, always caught up in their problems.


"Well, come on!"


She climbed out the window and began to use the ivy growing on the side of the house to help her climb down.

Suddenly, she slipped and without thinking, Duke ran to catch her. She landed safely in his arms, but in a rather uncomfortable pose.


Namely, Bridal style.

Duke felt his face grow warm. Well, this was rather awkward.

As he put her down, he could have sworn that she was blushing too.......

There was a bit of uncomfortable silence between the two of them for a couple of moments, then Duke tried to break the silence.

"Ummm, that's a pretty interesting outfit you've got on." He mentally cursed himself.

Great, now I just made myself sound like an idiot.

"Really? I mean, it isn't exactly my nicest clothes or anything, and I kinda threw it on at the last minute-"
