"No!" Heyt screamed and abruptly sat up straight from a nightmare that had made her sleep.
She looked around the place while trying to catch her breath to find herself on a bed in a familiar place; her room.
Just as she realised where she was, the door to the room opened and her sister, Grevla rushed in and took the space next to the bed.
"Hey, hey, it's okay, you're safe, stay calm." She shifted close to her sister, holding her by the shoulder.
Heyt's breathing slowly calmed as she let herself warm into her sister's grip.
"Trippier?" A name, but a question implied.
Grevla tucked back a stray hair from Heyt's face and cleaned the sweat that streaked down her forehead. "I almost had him, but he escaped," she revealed.
"We also found Blutox's body at the bottom of the mountain, but his energy is gone. He said Trippier used the Telluria's stone to steal his energy. And I believe he was going to do the same to you."
Heyt shut her eyes, trying to stop herself from crying but a small sniffle made it out.
"He told me he could help me become better with my Act," she sniffled. "He said he had a way to make me be able to also fight… he…"
Grevla placed her sister's head on her shoulder and slowly caressed her hair.
"It's okay, we'll get him. You'll be fine."

Eryth opened his eyes to the warmth of Syrie's body pressing against his. He exhaled softly as the memories of the previous night came back to him.
He slowly moved her off himself and got up on his feet to put his clothes on before making his way out of the tent they had set up for the night.
The sky was still a little dark and the day was in its premature stage, delivering a cool and breezy air.
Eryth fixed his sword in his belt before walking in the direction he heard noises.
He walked through a narrow path surrounded by tall trees before finally arriving in an opening with a small lake in the middle. A smile washed up his cheeks as he caught sight of Danila inside the water.
He walked towards the water then picked up her clothes and hung them around his neck before curbing by the mouth of the lake.
It took a few moments of watching her bath before she finally noticed his presence.
"Oh dear…" She stopped herself and quickly dived deep back into the water, allowing only her head to be visible. Her short pink hair was now wet and fell to the bottom of her ears.
"Eryth!" She yelled, trying to steady her breathing.
"Hello to you too, pretty lady," he greeted. "May I mention that you look very stunning this fine morning?" He shot her a smile.
"How long have you been there for?"
He looked up at the sky and growled before replying. "A couple of minutes, or more— I've been here for a while."
He noticed the look on her face and smiled. "What's there to be shy about? Aren't I your Azkaal or what was it again? Soon you and I will need to 'plant new seeds' as you've mentioned."
The fairy tried to conceal a smile that was forming but her lips failed her. "Right, could you just give me my clothes? I'm completely naked in here."
Eryth smiled and nodded. "Yes, I can see that." He pointed at the very clear water that revealed everything in it, including the fairy's slender figure and naked body.
"Eryth! Why didn't you tell me," she said while spinning around. "My clothes please."
He shook his head no. "Not until you answer my question first."
"You didn't ask any."
"Oh right, ehh… do you believe the vision that Hex and I become allies? I mean I believe that I have more Pure energy than Chaos right now, thanks to my fairy godmother."
"Fairy godmother?" Danila repeated.
Eryth pinched his chin. "Fairy god goddess?"
"She's not a fairy, so just god goddess? Or god god goddess? The point is, right now I want to kill him, so… do you really believe I will end up as his ally?"
Danila furrowed. "Arya told you?"
Realising what he had done, he furrowed. "No, I read her mind and found out."
"As if."
"Are you saying I can't read minds? You know I've gotten stronger since the last time you saw me."
Danila sighed and swam forward. "Anyway, I did see the vision, and most of my visions did come true."
Eryth frowned. "Is Maleficent in there? Tell her to get out, I kinda prefer the shy and less bold Danila."
She chuckled softly. "Seriously Eryth, I'm really scared. I don't know where you have been and you've locked me out of your mind making it impossible to know what's going on with you."
"I only locked you out because I want to get away, I can let you in now."
[Well]
She smiled before speaking again. "What about the village in the desert? What happened to those people?"
"Why don't you see for yourself?"
Eryth fully let her see into his mind and showed her his memories of what happened in the village.
"Oh…" she mumbled. "I don't know what to say."
"You could tell me how much you love me and how you now believe Hex and I won't be allies."
Danila exhaled softly and swam even closer to the mouth of the water such that she was only land away from Eryth. "But I saw…" she paused, letting her words trail off. "Can I get my clothes now?"
"Just one more peek." As he leaned closer, Danila grabbed his shirt and pulled him into the water. She then held onto him, pulling him closer to herself and dived into the water.
Underwater, she leaned closer, wrapping her arms around his neck while Eryth wrapped his hands around her waist.
For just a moment, they stared into each other's eyes. Neither of them was disturbed by the water that clogged up their lungs, Danila especially. She had waited long for this moment and now that it was here, her brain seemed to have blocked out anything else.
'May I?'
[Yes please.]
Eryth smiled before leaning forward and pressing his lips against hers. He pulled back and picked her up in his arms before swimming out of the water.
He dropped her softly on the grass before pressing his lips against hers.
"Are you sure you are ready?"
Danila looked at him with wanting eyes. "Please." Her cheeks burned hot red and her chest rose and fell a little faster than it usually did.
He leaned in and dropped hot kisses on her neck, moving down to her breast, then the middle of her stomach, then the tip of her lower body before moving back up to her lips.
Eryth made work with his tongue on hers before slowly moving his hands up her inner thigh, drawing a loud moan from her.
