Chapter 11

Prince Seto's P.O.V
The girl has short black hair, teal eyes, seems almost like 5'2, a checkered black and blue button shirt that is open revealing a black shirt, black jeans, and a scar on her right cheek. I grab her arm. I kick her knee making it give. I grab her and spin around. I pin her against the tree making her sword go flying to the right. She looks at me with wide eyes.

"Why you surprised?" I ask.

"Your quick on your feet." She said. Not really. She disappears suddenly and my hands hit the tree. My eyes widen. Wait.

"Behind you!" Amarisa thought. I turn halfway to see her there and I grab her fist as she tries to punch me. I grab her other fist when it tries to hit me.

"You are actually starting to annoy me." She said before she disappeared completely. She can teleport, she's a wizard. I look around. Let's see where is she? Above. She has to be and once I look up there she is. She knocks me off my feet and sits on my waist with a sword in her hand. She sticks it in the ground next to my neck. "Why don't you use your magic against me, you're a wizard after all." I grab her shoulders and kick my foot on the ground making me push her against the ground with me over her. I grab her wrists and pin them above her head.

"Maybe I fight better without magic." I said.

"How?" She asks. She disappears. I stand up straight and look around. "I have never seen you before, yet you have magic in your blood. How?" I shrug my shoulders.

"Honestly it's a surprise to me." I said. She reappears a few feet away. She sighs.

"I'm Jackson." She said.

"Seto." I said.

"The fact that you have a familiar is quite impressive actually. Only a few wizards are able to actually conjure familiars successfully anymore." Jackson said. Well I guess I'm one of those few. She crosses her arms. "What are you doing here Seto?" Something tells me telling her what I am actually up to is a bad idea.

"Well definitely don't tell her about the fact you're a Prince and let's not forget the fact you have a wizard mark on your neck." Amarisa thought. They probably don't know what that mark means and will think it's just a tattoo. I hope anyway.

"I don't know." I said.

"Come on, you can come back with me." She said turning away from me. I follow her with Amarisa on my heels.

"And where is this?" I ask her.

"Laendur, the only safe haven left for wizards." She said. Laendur. I never heard of it. She stops and I do as well. She turns to me. "Wait, how come you don't teleport there yourself?" I stare at her not knowing what the heck to say.

"Ummm...b-because why not accompany you?" I ask. She rolls her eyes.

"You lost your key didn't you?" She asks.

"What? No." I said.

"What are you doing?" Amarisa thought.

"Shut up. I got this." I thought back.

"Oh really? Let me see your key." She said holding out her hand. I look at her hand.

"Okay I lost it." I said.

"I knew it!" She yelled pointing at me. She lowers her hand. "Your lucky those keys disappear once a wizard has lost them. We don't need mortals going into Laendur." She continues walking and I follow her.

"Man Seto, that was smooth." Amarisa thought.

"I know you are being sarcastic." I thought back. I have to keep the fact I never been to Laendur a secret, people will ask questions that I can't answer. But with me being a Prince, I won't be able to keep this secret for long either. But I can't help but wonder how my sister is doing.

Princess Rivatha's P.O.V
"Are you sure he said nothing to you sweetie?" Mom asks. I stare at her. Jace is standing a few feet away from me. My eyes look over at him, he is still looking at me. Jace isn't one to let anything slide pass him. "Look at me deary." I look at her. Jenna is also in here but is sitting down.

"I know your brother said something to you two. So what is it?" My father asks suddenly. My mother moves away. I watch my father walk to Jace. I take a step forwards. My father is unpredictable when he is mad, I'm afraid he is gonna hurt Jace.

Jace's P.O.V
I meet the King's eyes. My hand is resting on my sword handle, I don't trust anyone here expect for River. The Prince asked me to keep the Princess safe and I will damnit. And she isn't safe here!

"I let you into my family Jason. So how about you pay me back and tell me what that wizard told you." The King said. I look over at the Princess. She looks worried. I look back at the King.

"He told me that you'll never find him." I said. The King looks mad and then backhands me. I stumble back a little and grit my teeth. The Princess runs to me. Jenna stands up taking a step towards me looking worried. The King has rings on his fingers, so many! That felt like a sting to the right side of my face. I feel the Princess's hand on my cheek and her other hand on my left arm. I keep my eyes on the King. The doors burst open and it's one of the Generals.

"Jace." Princess said. I look at her. I take her hand off my face.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." I said to her. My eyes look at the King.

"Well, looks like Seto couldn't hide for long. He was at the Eritai Kingdom and then escaped." The King said. He looks at me. "What else did my son say-"

"You know it's hard to believe he is your son. He's a wizard, how can a mortal woman have a wizard baby and survive?" I ask. The King raises one of his eyebrows. He looks at Jenna.

"As my understanding, the Prince was under your medical care when he fed the Kingdom. What for?" He asks. I clench my fist.

"You know what for!" I said. The King looks at me.

"Jace n-" I push Rivatha behind me and rest my hand on my sword again.

"It was punishment." He said.

"What sort of punishment is that? Are you a Dusaroian? You're lucky Seto wasn't killed when you drained his magic." I said. The King narrows his eyes at me.

"Your a bodyguard Jason. If you have forgotten your place I will gladly put you back in it." The King snapped. Guards suddenly grab me.

"No! Let go of him!" The Princess yelled. I struggle as I got four guards holding me and one is holding the Princess.

Princess Rivatha's P.O.V
My father grabs Jace's sword and pulls it out of it sheath. The guards have Jace's arm pinned behind his back and a hold of his shoulders. I watch as my Father lays the blade on Jace's neck. I struggle more. No. Jace and Seto are all I have left! And one of them is already gone! I bite my bottom lip back.

"Perhaps now you might like to share what Seto told you." The King said.

"He said nothing." Jace lied. I struggle slightly. My Father looks over at me.

"O really?" He asks. Jace moves slightly.

"Don't you dare." Jace growled. What? Do what? The guard that has me pulls a knife out suddenly and goes on my neck making me gasp.  I look at Jace.

"JJJaaaccceee." I whimpered. He looks mad.

"F-Fine! He said he was heading to some waterfall west of the Eritai Kingdom. He said that was the last place he didn't check." Jace said. 

"Check for what?" My Father asks. I feel the blade go against my neck and fear spouts inside of me.

"J-Jace." I said.

"For wizards." Jace said. My father smiles. He puts Jace's sword back in Jace's sheath. The guard lets go of me and Jace.

"Your all dismissed now." My Father said. My parents leave. Jace instantly comes to me. I feel his hands on my shoulders.

"You okay? Let me see." He said. He lifts up my chin with his hand and must be looking at my neck. "That guard is lucky, I would have hit him into next month."  He hand leaves my chin and I blush lightly. Jace looks at me. "You okay?"

"What are they gonna do to Seto?" I ask feeling tears form in my eyes. He hugs me and I bury my face in his chest.

"Nothing, Seto is a bloody wizard. He can take care of himself." Jace said. I tighten my arms around his center.

"What is going on?" Jenna asks.

"We're leaving Psyra." Jace said. I look up at Jace.

"But-" He meets my eyes and I feel his hand brush my hair out of my face.

"Don't worry Princess. This place isn't safe for you anymore." He said. I let go of him and put my hand on my arm.

"I'm coming with you two." Jenna said.

"Okay. I have friends in this Kingdom, they can get us out unnoticed long enough to get out of this region." Jace said. Yeah, but..

"Okay. I'll be at the Princess's room tonight." Jenna said. She leaves. Wait we are actually doing this?! I grab Jace's arm.

"Wait what if-"

"Don't worry Princess. You're under my protection, nothing will touch you as long as I'm with you." He said. I look away from him and blush a little. I can't help but like this goofball. He has always protected me, always.

"O-Okay. But where are we going?" I ask.

"Elidin Kingdom." He said.

"Okay." I said. I look at his face still seeing ring marks on his right cheek from father hitting him. I'm so happy my father didn't cut him, I would have been so mad. It's not like I could have done anything, I'm the helpless case while Jace takes the hits that are always directed at me. Sometimes the hits he gets scare me, I'm afraid he is gotten get seriously injured one day and I'm not gonna be able to protect him like he does for me.

"Come on. Let's go." He said. I nod. I walk pass him, I keep my eyes to the floor. Seto, big brother, where are you? Are you okay?
