Chapter 6: Finding The Cure

The forest.

Virgil groaned. It felt like his face was melting off.

"It's too hot...!" Virgil whined.

"Virgil, just take your foundation and eyeshadow off if the weather is bothering you," Patton said. "Or your hoodie."

"Never." Virgil deadpanned.

You might be wondering how they got here, well...

~Flashback to an hour before~

"A cure!?" Virgil yelled. "What is it!?"

"The cure is in the forest of the imagination. It's called the Imaginica blossom." Logan said.

"Then what are we waiting for? We have to get it!" Virgil said.

"Wait, it says it's guarded by a Dragonwitch."

"I don't care, I want to help Roman."

~End of flashback~

Now, Patton was carrying a baby Roman and Virgil kept glancing at Roman. He truly wanted his boyfriend back.

Everyone stopped at a cliff. Logan looked at the map.

"We'll have to get across by flying," Logan said. Everyone nodded and wings appeared on everyone's backs. Virgil looked at Roman.

"Wait!" Virgil yelled. He took Roman from Patton. "Okay."

"All... right then," Logan muttered and everyone flew across the ravine.

There was a cave ahead and everyone walked forward. Logan peered inside.

"There might be a dragonwitch inside. Everyone be careful." Logan said. Virgil held Roman close to him as he followed the others.

Then they heard snoring deep from within the cave. They all came to a clearing in the cave and saw the dragonwitch. It was sleeping silently, it's tail wrapped around itself. The Imaginica blossom was in the middle of the clearing underneath the light from the sky above.

Virgil instantly knew... it was the same dragonwitch that had cursed Roman.

"How are we going to get it?" Patton asked quietly.

"Someone has to go and get it," Logan said quietly.

"I'll do it," Virgil said.

"What? Kiddo, no!" Patton whispered.

"I'm responsible for Roman being like this, I should do it," Virgil said. He handed Roman back to Patton.

Virgil slowly tiptoed over. He had a lot of practice sneaking up on people and animals, so this was easy for him. He kneeled down to the blossom and pulled it off the stem. He tiptoed back.

"Got it," Virgil said.

"Let's get out of here before-" Deceit got cut off when his eyes widened. Everyone turned around and saw that the dragonwitch was wide awake.

"Who dares disturb my slumber!?" She bellowed. Virgil stepped up to her.

"Virgil-!" Patton yelled.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the little runt who trespassed in my territory." She said.

"You have no right to curse people just like that!" Virgil yelled.

"You can't tell me what to do." The dragonwitch sneered and glowed red.
