"Lydia! What are you doing here?" Heiss exclaimed trying to sound as normal as possible while keeping his eyes on Gold. Gold might use this opportunity so he has to be careful.

'Urgh! Why now of all times?! We're in the middle of a battle here!' Heiss thought in exasperation. With Gold here, Lydia is going to be in danger.

"I was just walking when I heard some sounds so I decided to check it out. That's when I found you standing in he middle of the alley," Lydia said.

"Oh... Er... You see, I was just walking home when I noticed that I took the wrong path. I stood here to recall... Now that's settled, let's get out of here," Heiss said anxiously pushing Lydia out of the alley.

Gold just stood there looking slightly flabbergasted. He then smirked and kept his sword away. "Until we meet again next time, Red. That time, you shall be fighting me in full power..." Gold said and vanished into thin air.

MEANWHILE

Heiss had parted ways with Lydia. Heiss quickly went back home at Mount Sprigyrus, went into his room and flopped onto the bed and closed his eyes, recalling what happened today. Especially what Hertus has said.

"Ah... That's right. We won't really have to worry about that any longer,"

Heiss ruffled his hair in exasperation. What was Gold scheming?! He wanted to know. He has to know. He needs to know!

"Urgh! What can I even do about it?!" Heiss screamed in frustration. He then used a pillow to cover his face.

"Great..."

Soon, Heiss fell into a deep slumber.

IN ANOTHER PLACE

The Master sat upon his throne with his eyes closed. Just then, three cloaked figure appeared before The Master. The Master didn't notice them. The three cloaked figures then casted a spell on The Master and disappeared. Just then, a girl with indigo hair and matching eyes appeared before The Master. She is Indigo. Or her mortal name, Indikon Vermiles.

"Master, I have some things to report to you. There has been signs that Red and Gold were fighting,"

"..."

"Master?"

"..."

Indigo's eyes widened in shock.

"It can't be.....!"

Indigo ran towards their master. She then noticed that there is a spell around him. A very powerful one. Even she, one of the powerful beings, can't break the spell. There was a also a weird mark floating in front of The Master.

"What's- What's going on...?! Don't tell me it's them...!"

Indigo took a few steps back. She recognized the mark. She then vanished into thin air. She had to tell the others about this. She teleported herself to the Sprigyrus, the home of the powerful beings. The powerful beings disguise themselves as mortals but will return to Mount Sprigyrus as it is their home. But at Mount Sprigyrus, they are forbidden to fight. Indigo didn't see anyone around. She began to search the place through her senses. A powerful being can sense another powerful being if they are close. She then sensed that Red was home! Thank goodness!

Indigo rushed to Red's room and well... Barged in. She found Red sleeping on the bed. She then quickly shook him by the shoulders. But he wouldn't wake up. 'Don't tell me he's under a spell as well...!!' Indigo thought as her eyes widened in shock. Just then, Red snored. Indigo sweat dropped.

"WAKE UP, RED!!!!" Indigo screamed at the top of her lungs, startling Red, or you could say Heiss awake.

"What is it?! Why is it that you have to barge into other people's room and wake them up by screaming at the top of your lungs when they are having a nice nap?!" Red exclaimed in exasperation, clearly unhappy that he had been woken from his deep slumber.

"I'm sorry! But I have no choice! Master's- Master's been out under a spell!" Indigo literally shouted. Worry was written all over her face.

"What?! What do you mean he's been out under a spell?!"

"I don't know! I was going to report that you and Gold were fighting-"

"So it was you who are always reporting our mistakes to the master,"

"WOULD YOU JUST PAY ATTENTION?!?! WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER!! I'm serious! I told him but there was no response. I then noticed that master has been put under a spell. I tried to break the spell but it was too powerful. There was this mark in front of him. It is Arthenea's mark!"

"Arthenea?!?! But Arthenea is masters arch nemesis!"

"That's exactly why!"

"Oh great..... We're in serious danger..."

"What do we do?!?!"

"Gold! He must've knew this was going to happen!"

"What do you mean?!"

"Gold told me that we didn't have to worry about being punished for fighting any longer while we were fighting!"

"But- But- Knowing him, he wouldn't go so far! He wouldn't go so far as helping Arthenea, right?"

"I don't know. I really don't know. First matter first, let's go check on master,"

"Alright,"

The two then teleported to where The Master is.
