Prince Seto's P.O.V
I push Jackson back as I see a Psyraian guard coming. I bite my bottom lip and I look around. Where is that library? Jackson grabs my arm as the guard walks pass us, not noticing us somehow.

"Come on." I said to Jackson. We walk down the hallway and I see Amarisa running ahead of us. After a while of running and avoiding guards we finally get into the library. I look around and go over to a table full of books, opened and closed.

"What did it look like?" Jackson asks me.

"I don't know. Just look." I said. I start looking through books while Amarisa keeps watch. I close my eyes focusing on Amarisa and I see out the door and hear soldiers. I open my eyes and then I stop at a page that has a picture on it. I look at it recognizing one of them with two other people. The two men have an arm around each other and the man in the middle arm's is around the woman's waist. I look at the writing reading it all carefully. My eyes widen and I look over at Jackson. I...I didn't find the spell. But I found something else. The door suddenly bursts open and m wrists are pinned to the table but two hunks solid metal. I scream in pain and Jackson takes steps back and hides as Psyraian soldiers file in. I look around me as spears point to me. I clench my fists and the metal mold around my arm making them stick to the table no matter how much I pull. Then I see King Izic walk in. I look at him and he smiles at me.

"There's my son." He said. I clench my fists.

"I'm not your son." I snapped. He chuckles and walks over to me.

"So why are you here, besides to get caught?" He said. He moves my hood and I feel his fingers touch the wizard mark on my neck. My eyes look at him. I feel a spearpoint touch my back. He smiles a little. "Kill him."  The weapons come closer.

"I thought you needed more power. So why kill me?" I ask. He walks around the table and then looks at me.

"Because you need to be punished." He said. I clench my fists. He smiles at me. "I can always drain magic from your girlfriend." What?

"Let go of me!" Jackson yells. I look over at where she was hiding and seeing a guard holding her with his sword against her neck. I pull on my arm a little and I look at the King.

"Let her go! She has nothing to do with this. This is between you and me." I growled. He walks over to Jackson and grabs her chin turning it so their eyes meet.

"I think she'll make an excellent replacement after you are gone. Sean has been very kind to us Seto. Unlike you." He said. Sean...of course him!

"No. No don't. You don't understand what is happening." I said. He moves his hand away.

"She's quite pretty this one as well. Take her away." The King said. Jackson looks at me.

"No, Seto!" Jackson said. I clench my fists.

"I'll get you out Jackson!" I said before she is dragged out. I look at the King who is smiling.

"Kill him already." The King said before he leaves. I grit my teeth and look at a guard who seems unsettled once I looked at him.

"He's stuck to the table. He's no--" I say a spell under my breath and the table breaks in half breaking the molds on my arms. "Nevermind..." A guard said. Pain shoots up my arms and I take a step back looking at them seeing large bruises on them. I see the guards around me attack too late, but they hit an invisible wall around me. I look at them and my eyes connect with Mason's. Amelia comes up behind him as a ring of fire appears as her eyes glow and hit the guards. Amelia grabs my wrist and pulls me out of there. I take a few steps back and grit my teeth. Amelia pushes my sleeves up and gasps.

"Holy--Mason." Amelia said looking at him. Mason looks at hs.

"Are his arms broken?" He asks. Amelia's fingers touch my forearms and she shakes her head.

"No thank god." She said. Mason comes next to Amelia.

"Did you find the spell?" He asks. Amelia lets go of my arms.

"Where's Jackson and Amarisa?" She asks. Wait, Amarisa! It just hit me that I don't know where she is. I look around not seeing her.

'Amarisa, where are you?!' I thought to her.

'Over here.' She thought. I roll my eyes.

'Where over here?' I thought. I see her a few feet away. Amarisa looks away from me.

'Too busy with Jackson to even remember I exist. I see how it is.' She thought. Amelia grabs my arm and I look at her.

"Did you get the spell?" She asks. I shake my head.

"We have to get Jackson." I said.

"That's a trap." Mason said. I look at Mason.

"We can't just leave her." I said. Amelia lets go of my arm.

"Seto if we don't find that spell, we'll all be dead by the time you get her." She said. I stare at her, knowing she is right. But I can't stand the fact leaving Jackson with King Izic. I just can't.

"But--" She grabs my shoulder and shakes me a little.

"Seto we need to restore the islands." She said. We do and as much as I hate it Jackson needs to come second of there won't be anyone to save.

"Is there a portal nearby to get us back to Laenadur?" I ask. Amelia nods.

"Yes but what about the spell?" She asks.

"Trust me Amelia. Where is it?" I ask her.

Once we got back into Laenadur, Mason and Amelia collapsed. I run outside seeing Sean standing there a few feet away. He crosses his arms.

"Welcome back." He said. I grit my teeth.

"You're a damn arcane wizard." I said. He smiles and nods.

"Indeed I am." He said. Amarisa comes wobbling next to me.

'Seto, I don't feel good.' She thought. I look at her and Sean laughs.

"You still have that damn familiar. Here's a fact for you Seto, familiars were forced on us as a crippling agent." He said. I look at him. A crippling agent?

"W-Why?" I ask. He takes a steps towards me and I instantly go between Amarisa and him.

"To hold us back, to control our power. Our ancestors never had a familiar because every wizard was arcane, no one had to worry about overpowering. But since the creation of the magic types, the fear us. They fear our power. We don't need the islands to stay alive Seto, everyone else does. The islands could go down and every arcane wizard would be completely fine but their familiars would die." He said. I look around us and then at him.

"You did this. You destroyed Laenadur, destroyed the islands. Why?" I ask. He crosses his arms.

"Don't you want to know what it's like to have unlimited power Seto? Because if you kill your familiar, that's what you would get. They had a fraction of our magic that makes us have blackouts or MOs as they call it more often because we don't have our full power. Don't you want to know what it was like to be our ancestors?" He asks. I clench my fists.

"Do you want to know what it's like to be dead like them?" I ask. He rolls his eyes.

"I should have known...but how can I expect a child to understand?" He asks me. I grind my teeth together.

"Fix the islands." I snapped. He shakes his head.

"No. Never. You want those islands back up, fix them yourself. You know the spell, that spell has been permanently engraved in our minds. But you won't be able to handle the spell because you don't have enough power, you'll die before you can even get halfway through the spell." He said. He looks at Amarisa. "She has to die first Seto. If you want to save your girlfriend from dying at the hands of your step-father?" He isn't my step-father. Amarisa backs away from me.

'S-Seto.' She thought. I look at her.

'Don't worry, I'm not hurting you and neither is he.' I thought to her. Sean sighs.

"You'll never be powerful enough to do that spell without Amarisa dying." Sean said. I stare at the ground. I don't care if he thinks that....I think I can handle it without hurting her because she is my best friend. I look at Sean.

"Amarisa isn't going anywhere." I said. Sean smiles.

"Then Jackson dies, Seto. Can you live with that?" He asks. I clench my fists wanting to hit him so badly. Jackson isn't gonna die, she can't.

'Seto.' Amarisa thought. I flinch a little.

'It's okay Amarisa. I won't let him touch you.' I thought to her. I bite my bottom lip as I see Sean's fist glow black.

"You do realize that I can't let you through. The islands are almost completely drained, I won't let you destroy what took years for me to sabotage." He said. Sean jumps at me. I grab his wrists. I knee him in the gut and let him run into the wall. I clench my fists and smile slightly.

"If you are gonna kill me Sean, you would have to be good in combat which I can tell you aren't." I said. Sean looks at me. My fist glows purple along with my eyes before he attacks me again.
