A scream comes from the castle.
Cyan begins to run, he knows what will happen next, and he will take whatever it takes to get her back. He recognised that voice from A mile away. "Cyan we can't storm in the kingdom we'd be outnumbered!" Leona shouts, running after him. He didn't listen, nor did he care. It wasn't about strategies now, it was about saving his friend no matter the risk, no matter the cost. "Cyan are you even listening to me!?" She screams, he ignores her, although it's too late, they had attracted more attention from the amount of noise they have created. There were guards patrolling the outskirts of the underworld kingdom, broad swords and staffs in their hand in order to slaughter any one who seeks survival in their fortress. The sky turned dark.. A dark crimson red, clouds forming around us which was almost described as a pitch black. The kingdom however was another story, so dark, so gothic. The walls were made from red and white bricks, banners crossing the wall to  mark their importance, the buildings so high and so modern-like, yet so dark it seems like the kingdom could go on forever. However you could just see the castle placed in the middle of the kingdom, the greatest , most biggest building of all, royalty screaming from the decoration of the outside. 'That must be it..' Cyan thought to himself, although the amount of guards forming was more than he could count, even if it meant taking risks, this risk was far too dangerous and he needed a plan, fast. He couldn't take on over 15 guards by himself could he ? He already lost Leona whilst running, it was no use. He began to slow down, crouching behind some damaged trees. Maybe he could use his astral magic, although he had the power of a cyborg, would that really work in this situation? They had staffs which were of great power in this kingdom - it was very rare that one got a staff, or even a weapon from the underworld kingdom itself. He could try, but if it didn't work, this was the consequence he had to face. Cyan turns in to particles of stars, trying so hard to speed through the trees, halfway by the entrance he once come upon. As he flew across the ground, he glanced at a little gap, enough to fit his current form in if he went fast enough. He took the chance, no matter what he could not turn back now, he was already so far in. More screams emerge from the castle, he's running out of time.. He goes through the gap, on to the outskirts of the kingdom, returning to his physical form. It looked like a maze... How could he get to the castle without any civilians observing his presence? He didn't exactly think this through.

She was strapped to the ground with chains, her lack of strength failing the ability to get up off the ground. She has no power, no ability to over come this poison being sucked in to her. It's been 10 days now.. She was beginning to give up, they were never gonna come were they..? The dark room she was stuck in was no more than dust, dried blood and old material. The door opens, the first time in 3 days - dehydration and hunger getting the better of her. She needed something, anything. The door shone light in her face to see Ender standing there, 2 guards behind him. "You're allowed to go now, the process is complete." Ender says, his voice low and shallow. The guards then split side by side, as I crouch, shaking intensely. Ender walks in as the guards un-do the chains. "Thank you, I'll take it from here. You may go back to your duty." Ender says. They nod, as they walk out the room. Kiana couldn't handle it anymore, the strength she had left in her wore out. She collapses to the floor, Ender trying to catch her in hand. "I'm sorry it took so long.. I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to." He says, something changed about Ender. He seemed softer, worried even. Except something changed physically as well, his dark magenta hair was quite messed up, his grey eyes seemed dull, yet full of sadness. Kiana couldn't say anything, she tried to move her mouth in order to speak but nothing was coming out, it was no use. He sighs, picking her up. "You may not be comfortable with me doing this, but clearly you can't walk.. I need to try and get you in to bed and get the maiden to gather clothing, food and a bath.. You haven't been eating in days, drinking for that matter."

Many hours later, Cyan still alone manages to get through the village on to the outskirts of the castle being unseen. His energy wasn't as high as before, he used half of it to sneak around the underworld. Even though the plan of action has worked, it hasn't worked mentally in the long run. Does he care..? No he really didn't. Cyan transforms up the wall in to the pipes leading to the dungeon. She must be down there right...? However he was wrong. He slides in to the dungeon corridors , going in to his normal form. Unnoticed..? He thought not, as the king was waiting a few meters behind him...
