I'd never felt so small before. I was duped, sis was duped, and my legendary parents were duped by Master....I didn't want to believe it but after hearing Ordell's story it hit me. Master was evil; and there was no way to ever change that. But how could someone who raised you turn out to be that way? I-I-Is it p-possible that...I would've ended up like him? Would I have ended up just like Master were it not for the new family I gained here? The thought sent my mind swirling. At home whenever I had something deep on my mind I would always stare at the stars and wonder if there was someone out there having the same problem as me. But now I only stared at the sky and wondered if Master was staring too....If Master's true heart was out there somewhere. There is good in everybody....so why then? Why did I start wishing that Master's heart would show it's true colors, the ones that I'd always seen and known about. I fell asleep in the branches of some faraway tree, far from the castle, and far away from anyone. And that's exactly what I wanted. I woke up to someone's voice shouting at me. "Wake up kid!" he shouted. I flipped open my eyes to see a young man with dark purple hair and dark blue eyes, he was holding a sword. "W-Wha? Wh-What's going on?" I asked, frantically backing away. "Tch...you're asking the wrong guy kid...I just got back here myself. But if my eyes aren't playing me like a fool....I'd say that the Church's soldiers are capturing the town." He was right, all around were the silver-black uniforms of the Churches militia. But I didn't think that they were taking the town....they were taking the whole contienent. "My sis lives in the Church...I wanna make sure she's okay, mind helpin me?" he asked. I nodded and twirled Mooncica. "We wanna sneak in and not get too much attention, that cool?" "Yes, I'll shoot the all down before they even see us~" We walked together and snuck our way into town. The place was covered with soldiers and I knew that this couldn't be Asami's doing. That Fanollo guy...he had to have been keeping them hostage while I left last night. One of the large orbs in the center of the lake appeared with an image of Fanollo, they were even projecting the images onto buildings. "People of the Holy Lands! I beg of you not to fear your military, we are merely making a few changes to better suit your needs. No longer will you be stuck in the Dark Ages! But at this very moment we re planning something big to..start the change of this place. At exactly 12pm, Asami the false Voice will be killed in the square. For generations they have been putting this country under their feet. The Voices have never cared for our safety and they never will I know it will be hard to see the false idol perish but if this country ever wishes to advance then we must all embrace it." In the background though I could see Asami and the others tied up, tears were falling from her frightened face. I knew that Fanollo was a bad man. "Sis!" he cried out. I looked to my partner,"Wait a minute....is Asami your sister?" I asked. He nodded,"Yes...I left her alone with that b*****d a few years ago...dammit...I-I-I knew that he couldn't be trusted but still I let her get in this situation....dammit!" he cursed while banging on the building's corner. "Asa was so excited to see you again...I won't let that a*****e ruin her family reunion. I'm Merlon by the way, one of Asami''s friends. Please trust me, we'll get her back." "Well....of my sister can trust you then..I will too. It's Zeke." "Alright Zeke...every castle has a sneak in entrance we just need to find it before that 12 o' clock show. Do you by any chance know where one could be?" He thought for a moment until he snapped his fingers. "Yea! It's a swim in entrance, me and Asa used it all the time...all you need to do is....ah! Follow me!" he said. He led me to a small stream on the side of the city,"I we lay low and swim up this thing...there should be a small hole at the bottom we can go through, think you could make it kid?" I nodded and we both started crawling up the river to avoid attention. Just as Zeke said when we reached the top there was a small pool of water and at it's bottom was the hole. We held our breath and made for the hole, it carried us straight to the dungeon. "Alright kid...this is where it might get rough so pay attention. This place was always a bit...shaky, everything broke the moment you touched it so...you had to be super careful whenever you walked or crawled on something. Stay close alright?" I nodded again and stayed close to Zeke who practically had the agility of a demon. To be perfectly honest I was scared out of my mind but I had to keep my courage. While we were walking the floor under Zeke fell and the only thing keeping him from death via spikes was me. "Kid..there's no way you can lift me up....y-y-you have to go this on your own...y-y-you have to let me go." he said. He was slipping now and al I could hold onto was his fingers. "No..no..no one ever gave up on me, and neither will I!" I held on as tight as I could until finally I could pull him up. Somehow.I'd saed his life. "H-How? Y-You're nuthin but I little shrimp and you managed to pull up someone almost twice your size and weight! H-How'd you do it?!" he asked, amazed. "I-I-I don't really know. It just..happened?" He gave me a hug and patted me on the head. "Kid...I owe you my life....no more doubts, I'm on your side for life." "Th-Thanks...but we can celebrate this moment later, your sister is waiting." We both made our way up the widing dungeon stairs withoutkilling ourselves and opened the door. It led straight to Asami's room, and everyone else along with it. Zeke bolted to his sister's side. "Asa...I can't believe how big you got..I'm so happy to see you...Don't worry I'll get you and your friends out of those ropes." With a single cut the ropes fell to the ground and the sibilings embraced. "Big brother...I'm so happy to see you! But what the hell were you thinking?! You could've been killed on the way here! Never do anything so reckless ever again!" she barked with tears in her eyes. "Don't worry..Merlon helped me every step of the way. You got yourself one tough little buddy." he compliemented. "Merlon! They took Merlow-san! They wanted to torture her into telling them where you went!" said Shinto. "It's true....That b*****d heard everything last night....He was planning to kill Asami and turn the rest of us to Fira. We have to do something!" Caliban added. "But there's no way we can go outside...there are guards everywhere! And since we're such a large group...we'd get spotted like that." Asami said. "No we wouldn't....I had this same tihng in a video game once! This princess snuck around in her castle because it was so dark. All we need is something small that won't make any noise.....Shinto, Yael...do you think you could handle being in your small animal forms?" I asked. They both nodded and got in close,"Okay...they'll be carrying flashlights and looking everywhere but soldiers are always incompetent. I know this will work. You two need to sneak through the castle and find out where my sister is without getting spotted, got it? You only have one shot with this so make it count. Stay out of their sights!" I told. The two demons nodded. One transformed into a white cat while the other turned into a small sand fox. Once they left Ordell stared at me,"Do you honestly think that will work? A videogame is a videogame...not realy life." he grumbled. I shrugged,"Eh....it's esscentially the same thing."


The two small animals snuck through a secret entrance out of Asami's room and ended up in what could've been Fanollo's. 'Hm...evil plans, secret diary, map of the castle town...yep definetly Fano's. Alright...what do you see outside the door Shin?' Yael asked via telepathy. 'Um.....Whoa! It's just like Merlon-sama said! Guards walking around with flashlights...and some of them look pretty bored...how did he know?' 'No idea...come on, open the door since they aren't paying attention.' he ordered the cat. Shinto jumped to the nearest ledge and used his long tail to turn and open the door. Yael used his sand powers to close the door very quietl on the way out. Somehow the demons were able to remain out of the guard's sights until they caught Merlow's scent. 'Aha! Found 'er! Come on Shinto, this way!' Yael called. The two walked until they reached a blank room, nothing but white. 'W-What is this?' Shin asked. 'I'm not sure but....look! There's Merlow! It looks like she's in that chair all tied up.' Yael pointed with his paw. 'But she's shaking....why?' 'That doesn't matter now....Fanollo isn't here so let's free er while we ca-' just as the two boys were about to free the princess Fanollo walked in, luckily the two were hidden beneath a box. "Well Princess? Had enough?" he asked taking off her blindfold, exposing teared up eyes. "I'll never tell an a*****e like you! I don't associate with terrorists." she hissed. "Hm...impressive but how far will your meager courage span with more visions?" He covered her eyes once more and waved his hands infront of her eyes. Merlow screamed and her body violently shook."I-I-I'll never tell you..." she managed to whisper. "Hmph...well then you could die here for all I care, just know that your brother will be found and killed; tell us or not." Still Merlow remained silent, only to wince in pain as her body shook violently. "Well then...I suppose I'll leave you be for another 10 minutes...seeing as that's probably how long you'll last~ Tata~" Fanollo left, his cape dragging behind him and Shinto stuck out his tongue. 'Come o, let's hurry before a guard comes or sumthin.' Both walked up to Merlow and bit off the ropes and tore off the blindfold. 'Merlow-san, are you alright? What did that man do to you?' "Ugh....man I've never been more happy to see animals....it was horrible, he was showing me all these different visions of torture. People dying...my friends dying, whole contienents burning up. It was god awful." she said. 'Well dun worry, no more torture for you..and what's even better is we got back Merlon! He was the one who set the rest of us free!' Shinto said rubbing up against her. "Good cause I wouldn't have made it any longer...I was seriously ready to crack." 'Well...now we just have to sneak out of the castle......'

Super short but I wanted to amek it quick....haha. Merlon's little vg idea came off of Paper Mario by the way....you had to play as Peach and sneak past the guards but if they found you, you'd get thrown into your room. Hardest part was making the cake.....but somehow you ended up playin a quiz-off with them...majorly weird. Anyway lack of ideas so....I'll add another chap later I guess...see ya soon.
