I awoke with the sun as we put our plan into motion. Unwrapping Raina's arms from my body to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Raina, it's time to get up," I whisper to the sleeping beauty. I see her stir a bit, but she just goes back to sleep.

"Come on, we have to go," I hear her moan, but she still refuses to get up. But then I get a smirk on my face, as I examine my sleeping girlfriend.

"Ok, how shall I do this?" I asked, climbing back onto the bed.

"Which part seems more vulnerable?" I look at her, then attack her sides, tickling them mercilessly.

At that, her eyes burst open as she starts to laugh uncontrollably.

"Dawn... wait... stop!" she tries to speak through her thoughts of giggling.

"There, now you're up, come on, we got a big day planned," I say, ripping the covers off of her body. She sighs and gets up before putting on a robe to leave the room.

"That was pure torture," she replies, kissing me on the forehead.

"Well, I had to get you up somehow," I reply, turning around to kiss her on the lips. Slightly blushing, she leaves the room. As I prepare for the day.

Looking through the closet, to find an orange shirt with sleeves the fan out into a sparkling gold color. Along with a flowing orange and yellow skirt. Then grabbing some brown boots to complete the look. Along with tying my hair back in a loose ponytail, and applying gold eyeshadow, and red lipstick.

Then, I hear a knock on my door, to find my girlfriend in a kickass ensemble. An armored red dress, with a bronze chest plate, bronze wrist cuffs, black leggings, and bronze-colored boots.

"You ready?" I ask.

"Yep," she replies, going to lay down on my bed.

Soon after, I open the door for Roman, in a plain white dress shirt, with black dress pants, and black knee-high boots, oddly with a red sash hanging off his right shoulder.

"Um, Roman, you got a little something," Raina points to her shoulder, Roman notices the sash and moves to take it off.

"No no, you can keep it on," I stop him, as Raina smile.

"Yea, you look like a prince," she smirks, as Roman stands a little taller, and does a princely motion. Before standing off to the side to let Vesta in, dressed in her normal attire.

"Alright, time to set our plan into motion," I say while extending my arm to summon Domiens, while Raina does the same for Artemis.

"Everyone clear on what to do?" I ask.

"I'm going with Domiens and Artemis to find where Cindias is being kept," Roman proclaims.

"I'll be with Vesta, as we try to convince Princess Adriana to help us with her Phoenix Mark," Raina continues.

"And I'll be with Professor Helios Dracon, to convince him to help remove the enchantment causing all our troubles," I reply. Soon, the breakfast bell rings as we start our mission.

We make it to the dining hall, as we sit at the royals table. I turn to see Prince Aiden holding his right hand under the table, only coming up a few times in a glove. Hiding the burn marks I gave him.

I see Raina looking at his hand, then turning to me.

'you did that?' she mouths quietly. I nod as she tries to hold in laughter.

'that's what you get' she snickers. As we turn our attention back to our food.

Soon I see Vesta approach Adriana and whisper something in her ear. The princess nods and turns to look at Raina, before she writes on something, and passes a napkin across the table.
