"So my dad... Died to make this town mine?" Phemie said with composure now. "I never knew he would address me as Princess Phemie."  She lets out a gentle giggle.

She felt a different feeling, She was happy that she knew her dad cared for her so much and she was sad because she would never see him again. As flowers fell on their heads... They enjoyed the afternoon. A little laughter and a little tear jerking.

"Your father was one of the Three Divine Mages, He controls time itself. See that clock tower?" Emmett says.

Emmett points at Lemington's not so famous Clock tower. They watch as the giant watch-looking tower is frozen in time. It's glass framing was shining so that even the cobwebs lit up.

"It's what increases his magic potential. The two other controlled light and space. He never told me of the space mage but the light mage is in Memoria which is a thousand miles from here." Amanda and Phemie were all... Baffled by what Emmett was even trying to say. Mages? Oh please, He couldn't be more serious right?

"So... This is probably the end of the conflict here in Lemington?" Amanda says. "It doesn't end there does it? There's gotta be more right? Can't you fill us a bit on the extra?" her eyes seem to show pretty please with cherry on top.

Emmett looks hesitant and says "Well... Maybe." They lean in closer. "When your father, Lyudmil Magne Augustus, died, it made sure the land's time stops and freezes anyone in time who even tries to harms you here. Lucas tried to kidnap you to get the land and the money but when that failed..." Emmett stopped to breathe and they all laughed.

"When it failed, he sought to kill him but to find that the land will never be his and it will be yours... He must've given this book as a trap!" Emmett says!

Amanda and Phemie look at each other... "Pfffff...... HAHAHAHA!"

They couldn't take him that seriously. "Come on...You must be kidding!" They jeered. Emmett had no choice but to laugh along. But deep inside he knew, something about this book isn't right. 

"Maybe we should go somewhere else?" He says.

"Let's go to Tathe, it's just a walk from here!" Amanda says. Emmett knew the way too. So, he was leading instead. 

"How do you know where it is?" Phemie asked. 

"Maps." Well, that was certainly an obvious response.

The afternoon didn't change but it felt different. Imagine that, their minds are just in a different point of view. They pass through a few oaks and they reach the town. The houses looked so old. It was a mini village full of oak wood and cobblestone homes. The smell of grain from somewhere...

They looked like the ones for the medieval peasant homes. But, there was something different. It was very noisy!!!

There was a ruckus here and there by the myriad of citizens and warriors. The three of them rushed to the scene.

Emmett bumped a warrior. "Oh... Sorry..." The warrior rushes to face him. 

"Aaah!!! Emmett!" What a squeaky weird voice to have if you were a warrior with big buff muscles. It was pretty much a voice very much like a baby's, If that baby learned good vocabulary.

"Oh it's you again! I remember when I met your master and he wouldn't let me help because you were there! Then I ran away crying but then I met this woman. Oh! She was beautiful. We're engaged and I hope you'll be there on my wedding exactly a year from now." He speaks really fast too.

Emmett tries to jog his memory and a name comes up...

"Officer Jamison! I'm sorry he chose me to guard him than you!" Emmett says. He looks around and the girls where gone. Probably, they were somewhere in the crowd. " So, What's happening here?" Jamison looks at him closely.

"You've grown a lot for just 4 years Emmett... He must be proud." Jamison smiled. Emmett shrugged with a blank expressionless face. "Seriously?" Emmett says impatiently.

"One of our soldiers is having a fight with Athiria." Wait, What?! Emmett rushes in the crowd as fast as he could.

Who knows? This soldier might be the book's owner!

"You can't -flinching in pain- win!" The soldier has nearly lost it. Whoa, who would've though a nurse could give that much pain! "... Tormentum dolorae advoci" right when she said these words he screamed! Everyone was cheering her!

"That's it! Make sure he doesn't come back!" One man shouts. "Yeah! Give him the pain! Teach him THE lesson!" I bet she was popular in the town as some peace-officer and not just some nurse...

"Aginum... Fini!" He lied down and the ground cracked. 

Everyone stopped when... "Quiet!" It was not quite a shout for me but certainly powerful. 

"Athiria Magne, Long time no see! Still working on medical arcanery? Athiria Magne?" He looks at her and she looks at him and giggles. "And my ex-boyfriend comes to stop me from hurting one of his men?!" She walks up to him.

"My mom had an ex-boyfriend?" Phemie said looking at Emmett. he only shrugged and said "She didn't have time to tell you I guess."

"And what's up with him calling her by her name and saying it in the end of his sentence?" Amanda responds while she eats popcorn. (There have been so much cases of misplaced item in this story)

"Well, it looks like your daughter got in trouble this time..." He goes closer." Here."
He hands Athiria a golden pamphlet and she rushes to read it.

"Your daughter, Euphemia Magne, has been sneaking up the queen's son's book! She will be brought to the castle post-haste!" She said these words. They whisper and chatter and it was noisy, the crowd of course. 

"I knew the book was a trap!" Emmett says! The knight was startled and with a belligerent face stopped and faced Emmett.

He ran up to the man. "Sir! I must come with you guys to the castle and I will try to prove her innocence!" He says.

"Well... I guess we have room." He says... Scratching his head.

They were brought into a big flying ship made of shiny nickel! So big, you'd think it would fit the whole city of Lemington... But the trip was not gonna be a trip to somewhere good... And so Emmett, Amanda and Phemie with her mother are on their way... What is waiting for them?
