Patton slowly woke up yawning. There were still tear stains on his face. He felt so guilty for not trying to help Janus. The others had tried to comfort him, but it hasn't really help. He'd only feel better when he could hug Janus again. Patton felt a tear run down his face, and new he had to get up and distract himself.

Patton got up and looked around. He'd slept in Janus' bed instead of the one that had been put up for him. He sighed not looking around much. Everything reminded him of Janus. Patton had fallen asleep in the clothes he was wearing yesterday. They were wrinkled, but Patton didn't care. Patton grabbed his glasses and adjusted them.

Patton walked out of the room. A few noises came from downstairs. Everyone seemed to be down there. Good, Patton wouldn't have to interact with anyone Just yet. Instead of going downstairs he went to the bathroom.

He locked the door behind him and looked in the mirror. He was a mess, to put it lightly. His hair was tangled, his breath was bad. He still had those aforementioned tear stains, and he smelled like sadness. It's a good thing he wasn't in his room, or this would be affecting Thomas.

Patton took off his glasses and placed them aside. He wetted a wash cloth and cleaned his face. He squeezed the water out of wash cloth and placed it to the side. He summoned a tooth brush and some tooth paste. Patton wetted the tooth brush then squeezed some tooth paste on it.

Patton brushed his teeth. He spat the foam from his mouth into the sink the cleaned it out with water. Patton summoned a brush, and brushed out his blonde locks. He summoned some deodorant and applied it. He didn't leave the deodorant but shoved it in his pocket.

Patton walked four of the bathroom and made his way downstairs. Everyone sat around having their own breakfast. Logan looked up from a notebook he was writing in, "Good morning Patton, did you sleep well?"

Patton sat down next to Logan and Patton, "No, and I guess you know why." He pulled the deodorant out of his pocket and handed it to Remus.

"Thanks Patton," Remus accepted the deodorant and popped off the cap. Remus imediatly dug into the deodorant.

"I think I've got a good plan to rescue Janus, I think I should announce it to everyone," Logan says.

"Well then do it!" Patton said smiling, he had a chance to save Janus.

Virgil sat across the table from Roman. He would occasionally look down at his fruit loops that were slowly getting soggy. Roman was digging into his cereal. A few minutes earlier Roman had poured him his bowl while saying, "Here are your Gay cheerios my Noche Tormentosa."

Virgil had laughed and responded with, "I don't know what that means Princey."

"Well that's the fun in it," Roman and Virgil exchanged a happy smile. Virgil wished he could've experienced that without the impending doom named Damion hovering over in the corner of the room. Virgil would occasionally look up from his cereal and stare at Damion. He would always hold eye contact.

Damion had added new decorations on his suit. A lot of gold and a crest that looked similar to Roman's but slightly more intimidating, Virgil couldn't really tell why, but it looked more... Evil.

Virgil took a few bites then slid the cereal bowl away, "I think I'm done with breakfast."

Roman smiled, "That's fine Nube De Tormenta," he looked at Damion then back at Virgil, "I think I'm done as well." Roman stood up from his seat.

"Well since you are done King Roman, I must have another meeting with you," Damion looked at Virgil, "I've set up some people to help you plan the wedding, go meet with them in the fitting room." Virgil knodded, the look Damion gave him was staring through his soul. It was extremely unsettling.

Damion and Roman walked out of the room. Virgil waited for a minute and then got up to follow them both. They were both far ahead and Virgil was abled to hide in the shadows following them. Neither made small talk as they reached a tall door that Virgil knew as Damion's office.

They both entered, but the door stayed slightly open. Virgil took this chance and peaked into the door. Damion dropped a set of keys on a side table near the door. Virgil watched and assumed one of those would open Janus' cell.

Roman sat on the desk, not the chair but the desk, "So what do you need Damion?"

"Oh just the usual, we need to plan for the wedding and such," Damion says as he summons a glowing orange cloud of dust in his hand behind his back. Roman can't see it, but Virgil can. He needs to gab those keys, but he should see what this is first.

Damion moves around his hand quickly and throws the dust at Roman. Roman coughs a few times, but breathes in enough if the dust. Roman's eyes unfocus and Damion smiles. He grabs Roman's arm and pulls up his sleeve revealing a dingey burn. It looked to be a specific shape, but Virgil couldn't tell.

Damion wraps his hand around the burn and begins re-burning it. When he removes his hand the same crest Damion had begun wearing. Roman's eyes refocus and flash orange then he looks up his eyes back to their normal green, "Hello Damion." Roman has a sinister grin and looks way more evil than earlier.

While all of that happened Virgil had grabbed the keys and was out of there quickly. Virgil made it back to his room where he locked the door and waited for Tim to arrive and give him the okay to move on with the plan.
•<================================>•
Janus had fallen asleep a few hours ago, and Tim couldn't bring themself to leave his side. However they knew they'd have to leave to go get Virgil. Tim had tasked Virgil with finding keys to the cell, all they could do is hope Virgil found them.

Tim finally made their way out of the cell and went to find Virgil's room. They had no idea how Virgil had memorized the layout of the castle. Tim was still struggling, but they had the vague idea of where Virgil's room. Despite Tim being curiosity he'd begun struggling to retain the things he'd learned about when Thomas got older.

They new this was because they weren't supposed to be a ghost, but he couldn't. Tim was tethered to this world until Damion was vanquished. Tim would never tell anyone this though, considering they'd also have to tell them he was tethered magically to Damion.

Tim finally found Virgil's room and phased though the wall, "You find the keys?"

Virgil had changed into his usual outfit, and had even applied some new eyeshadow, "Yeah I did," he held up the keys, "Also Damion mention some people who are supposed to meet me to plan the wedding."

"You don't have to do that, have you packed a bag?"

"Yeah," Virgil pulls a backpack out from under his bed. They we're all ready.

Virgil leads the way to the dungeon. Virgil quickly unlocked the door as Tim kept watch. The door swung open and they both began their decent into the dungeon. Tim was glad to not hear any crying this time. They both finally reached Janus' cell to see him slightly curled up looking confused.

"Hey snake bitch!" Virgil called pulling out the keys again.

Tim elbowed him, though it was more like just blowing air at Virgil, "Don't be rude!"

"Virgil? Why are you here?" Janus asked standing up.

"I'm rescuing you for the sake of my friend and my own well being," Virgil unlocked the door as it swung open, "I still haven't forgiven you, this isn't an act of kindness."

"Thank you so much Virgil!" Janus walked out, "But may I ask who your friend is?"

"His name is Tim, now no more questions until we're out of here," Virgil said. Virgil lead the way and Janus followed. Janus was trying to figure out who Tim was though.
•<================================>•
Damion had seen Virgil steal the keys. He wasn't an idiot, and Virgil was making so much noise. Though Damion didn't bother to stop them from escaping. Despite his magic Roman was fully under his control and Damion didn't know why.

He hoped Virgil being kidnapped by the terrible Janus could push Roman over the edge. Damion look up from the note book he was writing in to look at Roman. The note book was locked by blood and contained his entire plan. Damion was just adjusting it. "Your majesty, I do believe it's time to check on our prisoner," Damion said. He teleported the book back to his room.

Roman looked up from his drawing, "Brilliant idea Damion." The two of them went to visit Janus in the dungeon. Roman gasped when he saw the door wide open. Damion also fake gasped.

"How dreadful is this your majesty, it seems our prisoner has escaped!" Damion said walking up to beside Roman. Roman was staring angrily at the cell until his face filled with fear, "Where is Virgil!"
