Natsu, Gray and Erza were getting the attention on them. Wasn't hard with Natsu's powerful flames flying into the sky and at buildings. The three of them was taking on the armies of dark guilds heading toward them. Loke, Wendy and I took awhile to sneak into the castle. Even with the three powerful mages outside and attacking there was still a ton of guards in the castle. None of them caring about the attack. I was leading Wendy and Loke as with the necklace I was able to tell when to hide.

It was helping me. It was leading me to Eclair. She didn't want me to come but I wasn't going to let these people hurt her anymore. She had been through much when a child and even now she was getting hurt. Loke had to deal with some of the guards every so often but Wendy put a sleep spell on afterwards as we was moving around not letting anyone guess we was here. I was feeling my magic slowly getting drained. I have had Loke out for a week straight but with using the necklace as well....I was getting a drain.

I had to be careful on how long I used it and what for. I knew that then. I was slightly too late of learning as I heard chains being pulled above us as we was at the bottom of the tower. I was able to hear what sounded like a slap getting me to rush up the stairs without thinking. Loke and Wendy tried to stop me but ended up following and both struggling to keep up as I was using everything in me to get up a huge flight of stairs. I got to the top and was out of breath to see some type of prince standing in front of Eclair.

Eclair was on her knees as her hands were pulled back from chains as I looked toward the prince. His short blond hair resembled a mushroom haircut, where the fringe and the rest of the hair were cut in the same length. He donned a royal attire with gold lining. The outfit itself was complex in design, consisting of a white tunic with gold shoulder pads on his shoulders, strapped with a gold belt around his waist and sewn with a blue cape with yellow colored edge on his left shoulder. 

Last was a red crown, with a pointy top part. The crown was also decorated with pink gemstones. He was smirking as you was able to see a red hand print to where he had slapped Eclair. "Weak little Bride. Want Imitatia back to deal with you?" the unknown who I was guessing was the King or Prince of this place spoke his face right in Eclair's as she used this to headbutt him hard. He was push backwards as I saw blood soon coming out his nose. "You bitch" he soon shouted as he pulled a dagger from his pocket.

He got onto his feet as I ran at him and kicked him hard behind the knee getting him to scream as he fell onto his knees. He had dropped the dagger as Eclair had whispered my name staring at me in shock as I grabbed his arm and kicked his back to end up pinning him to the ground. "Say a word and I will break your arm" I threatened harshly as he looked scared as I turned my head as Loke and Wendy were looking at me in shock. "Loke can you deal with the chains without using to much magic?" I soon asked.

Loke nodded rushing behind Eclair as Wendy slowly walked over. Eclair's eyes widen in shock seeing Wendy. "P-Princess Wendy" Eclair spoke as Wendy just smiled at her. "Please call me Wendy" Wendy only replied as Loke had freed Eclair from her chains. She got on her feet being wobbly at first as Loke was helping her stand. She was rubbing her wrist as I saw them bright red some having cuts on with dried blood over them. "What we do with the whimp?" Wendy then asked as the guy was glaring toward her.

I twist his arm slightly as he let out a loud screamer than before in pain. "You can look at her and see how much of a BETTER ruler she is. She doesn't kidnap women and children while murdering the males of villages" I snapped toward the unknown under my foot as he was whimpering in pain. "We need to get out of here" Eclair spoke trying to walk but fall forward as she was going pale. Loke caught her before she could hit the ground as Wendy rushed to her side using her healing magic.

My eyes widen in worry looking toward my older sister as the unknown used this and pushed upwards pushing me to the ground backwards as I had nearly fell down the stairs we had climbed. The Prince had gotten his dagger as we all looked at him. "IMITATIA!" he soon shouted loudly as I felt huge amount of magic rushing up the stairs as I rolled over to not get hit by a foot as my eyes had widen seeing the person who this unknown male had summoned. Michelle. Her wavy dark blonde hair and blue eyes had changed.

Her hair was now sticking sideways and backwards around her head as if it was floating. Her right eye was covered by a rose eye patch, which had a small red glow. She was now wearing a short, strapless shirt made entirely of dark green petals, and she had long, dark green gloves that reached to the top of her arms. She now was sporting a short wide skirt made of dark green petals that point sideways and she also had pouch-like boots. Her left arm and both her legs were adorned by light green thorny vines.

I was shaking as I was looking toward her as Loke was staring at her shocked also. "Prince Cream you have let the Phoenix Bride get out of her chains" she spoke her voice not having any emotion as her face and left eye didn't also. My eyes were watering seeing her as I was in so much shocked I was unable to move. The only thing I was able to do was say her true name.

"Michelle"
