Trapped

Type: Dramatic romantic/part of Thomas AU
Ship: Logince
He was foolish. Being Logic, that should be impossible, but it still happened. Because he wasn't just Logic. He, along with Roman and Remus, embodied curiosity. The twins had it in a more 'exploring interests' way, while Logan was everything else. Books, TV, movies, historical events, current events, he would get curious about every aspect of the people or places and look into it. Which made him more knowledgable, which helped him be a better form of Logic.
So why was he foolish? Because he was trapped. In the Imagination. With all of the twin's creations.
Logan thinks back to an old phrase, curiosity killed the cat. He wonders if he is going to be that cat in this scenario. Of course, that isn't the full phrase, but Logan doubts he'll get any satisfaction from this. Even if he did, that probably wouldn't save him.
The Imagination is like a maze to him. Every twist and turn brought new ideas and horrors. He should have just stayed on Roman's side, or not gone in at all. What was he thinking?
He wanted to know, that's what. Logan wanted to know what this place looked like, how it worked, and if he could use it. The answers were as followed: A large grassy plot, filled with everything Thomas could imagine, good and bad. He would never understand its inner workings because he is not Creativity. And no, he could not use it. But that was just Roman's side, so Logan went over to Remus's side.
Well, nearly. He got trapped by two raging Dragon Witches, one elegant, a perfect mix of dragon and girl. The other a monstrosity, hardly counting as dragon or witch. Logan knows exactly who made which.
"Knights, attack the monster!" the red Dragon Witch, Roman's, called out.
A dozen or so knights materialized from the ground and Logan ducks behind a boulder. One that is swiftly taken by the green Dragon Witch, Remus's, and used as a projectile.
The knights are all taken out, and the two Dragon Witches clash, claws, fangs, magic, and all. Then the green one shoves the red down and turns towards Logan. He feels terror in every part of him, which was causing him more terror as he wasn't. Supposed. To. Feel. He was at most caution. He was reasoning. Logic.
Before he can react, the Dragon Witch snatches him and flys away. Logan would scream if he knew it would reach anybody. But Remus was rarely in the Imagination, and he was too far from Roman's side by now.
"Let me go!" Logan says, trying to wiggle his way out.
"Heh. Foolish human. You're my food. Anything non-imagined must be good," she growls, her voice even worse than her looks.
Logan gulps. He couldn't die, not now anyway, but he could feel pain.
They land in a cave near a raging black ocean. Logan swears he could just make out a giant squid in the distance. He looks around the area. Huge stalactites hanging from the ceiling and the floor felt like ice. The walls were shifting every minute, spiking out and occasionally shooting something. If Logan crouched down he could avoid them. Which is what he did.
The Dragon Witch looks down at him and stomps her foot. Ropes appear around him, binding his limbs together.
"Stay here, little side. We have company," the Dragon Witch says, flying off.
Logan looks up and sees several dragons flying towards him. They were grey. They lead the witch to the center where he was taken. When he squinted, Logan spotted the other witch ready for another fight.
Logan hadn't realized he had pushed himself up. Just as he did, a rock fired out of the wall and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him out.

Roman is hanging in the common room with Virgil when he felt the commotion. He could sense most of what went on in the Imagination, namely when things were fighting. Like right now. He assumes it's a big fight, as he never felt the feeling this strong.
"REMUS, THE WITCHES ARE FIGHTING!" Roman shouts, startling Virgil.
The Dragon Witches were extensions of the twins. Which is why they had limited control in the Imagination and fought frequently. It saved the twins from fighting each other.
"TOO BAD, I'M BUSY!" Remus shouts from upstairs.
"IT'S WORSE THAN NORMAL!" Roman shouts.
"FINE! DEAL WITH IT YOURSELF, YOU CAN CROSS TO MY SIDE UNTIL YOUR STOP THEM!" Remus shouts.
To keep the peace, the twins need each other's express permission to enter the opposite sides. Roman grumbles a bit at the fact his brother is too lazy to help but gets up anyway.
"Be back later. Dragon Witches are fighting," he says to Virgil.
"Yeah, I gathered that when you blew off my eardrums," Virgil says.
Roman rolls his eyes and takes a leisurely pace to the Imagination. The fights never had a big impact on the area, but it was a pain for one of the Dragons to kill one another. Plus, Roman wasn't interested in losing some of his territory, which is what the Dragon Witches fought over in the first place. It has been 20 years since they split, 18 since they formed the Dragon Witches, and neither had lost territory for longer than half a year.
Roman summoned his armor and katana and entered the Imagination. Immediatly he knew where the fighting was. In the neutral grounds.
"Escarlata! Fall back! You too, Pepinillo!" Roman calls out.
The Dragon Witches' names were also in Spanish, as the twins had a passion for the language. Escarlata was Roman's Witch, Pepinillo was Remus's.
"Yes, your majesty," Escarlata says, backing down.
Roman's glare makes Pepinillo back down too, much not as much.
"But don't you want my hostage, or would you rather leave them to my mercy?" Pepinillo asks.
"Hostage? That's new, Pep," Escarlata says.
Despite always fighting, the two Dragon Witches were actually quite friendly with each other.
"Yes, you didn't really think I just fled for 5 minutes?" Pepinillo says.
"If the hostage is a knight or someone I can just summon them back," Roman says, yawning.
That was the reason no hostages were ever taken. They were too easy to get back.
"Oh, I made sure this one can't. You see, it isn't a product of the Imagination. It's one of the sides. The stupid fellow came in here with a notepad and pencil and started looking around. So mid-battle I took him," Pepinillo says.
Roman pales. There was only one side that would come in here with a pencil and notepad. Logan. His love.
"Where are you keeping him?" Roman demands.
Pepinillo scoffs.
"As if I'd tell you. You have to go on a daring rescue mission!" she says.
Roman glares but nods.
"I already have permission to enter. Escarlata, stay back. I'll take Destiny," Roman says.
Just as he says the name, a pure white pegasus appears. Roman mounts it and flys off to Remus's castle. If he was thinking right, Logan would be in the highest tower, under a curse of some sort.
Roman flies up to the highest tower's window and climbs in.
"What the-" he mutters as he enters.
The room was covered in purple and black decorations. And spiders. Lots of spiders.
"What in the ever-loving-" he mutters.
Roman shakes his head.
"Concentrate," he tells himself.
He looks around the room, down the stairs, and all around the floor beneath the tower. No sign of Logan. Roman hops back on Destiny and searches the other towers, with the same results.
"Where could he be?" Roman thinks aloud.
Destiny neighs and soars down towards a cave at the edge of the ocean.
"Destiny, you're a genius," Roman says.
They land and Roman rushes in when he hears a small pop. In the blink of an eye, he draws his katana and deflects the incoming darts. He watches as they fall to the ground, dissolving. He takes a cautious step into the cave.
There, in the center, he spots him. Logan slumped unconscious, tied up in ropes. Roman quickly unties him and shakes him. Logan doesn't respond.
"My true love, you must be under a curse!" Roman says.
He pulls Logan up a little and kisses him. Logan's eyes open and slap him.
"Hey! Rude! I was saving you from a curse!" Roman says, his voice cracking.
"It's called unconsciousness, you dimwit," Logan says.
He pauses for a moment before yanking on Roman's sash, pulling him downwards into another kiss. One where they are both fully conscious.
Thank you Casey for requesting. Requests are still open, and peace out my peeps!
