Mitch struggled, he then felt a sword go against his throat, his eyes look at it, recognizing it.

"That's Sky's sword!" Mitch said.

"Shut up!" The guard said before he hits Mitch. The three get pushed into a room, Jerome looks at Ty.

"Ty!" Jerome said smiling. Ty turns around, he loses his smile.

"What are you three doing here?" Ty asks as he walks over to them. Mitch gets forced down to his knees, he yelps in pain. Jerome and Ian look at him.

"Hey! Stop it!" Ian shouted struggling. 

"Let go of him." Ty snapped. The guards let go of Mitch. Ty helps Mitch stand back up. Mitch looks at the guards and then at Ty. But then he looks at Rosani. The guards let go of Ian and Jerome. Ian looks at Rosani. Rosani is talking to the guards, but she glances at the boys and smiles at them before she looks back at the guards. Ian looks at the other three.

"Who's she?" Ian asks. Mitch looks at her.

"I don't know, but she's cute," Mitch said. Ty looks at Mitch.

"That's my sister," Ty said. Jerome and Ian chuckle. Mitch sighs and looks at the floor.

"Of course she is.." Mitch mumbled. Rosani walks over to them.

"You must be Tobias's friends," Rosani said. Jerome looks at Ty.

"Tobias?" Jerome questioned. Ty looks at Jerome.

"That's my real name, but you guys can still call me Ty. I actually prefer if you did." Ty said. Captain Derek walks in.

"Princess Rosani!" Captain Derek shouted in dragon tongue. Rosani looks pass Jerome.

"Yes, Captain Derek?" She asks. Captain Derek looks at Jerome and them.

"I will take care of these intruders for you. Make them regret coming onto these lands." He said. Ty turns to the Captain.

"That won't be necessary, Captain," Ty said. Captain Derek looks at Ty, his eyes widen as Jerome, Ian, and Mitch are hopelessly confused about what they are saying.

"Prince Tobias...so the dark mage was telling the truth, well there is a first for everything." The Captain said. Princess Rosani looks at Derek.

"Harvey, where is he? He said he would return with four individuals. Yet I only see three." The Princess said.

"Princess Asthie is with the other. Master Magi has been put under magic restriction." The Captain said. Princess Rosani's eyes widen. Jerome looks at her and puts his hand up.

"Hey, can you guys please either translate or speak in a language we will understand?" Jerome asks. Ty looks at Jerome.

"Captain Derek put Seto under magic restriction, Jason is with my sister, Asthie, in the castle somewhere. Now..what is magic restriction?" Ty asks.

"Magic chains that drain a sorcerer's or sorceress's magic energy. It ensures that magic users cannot escape our dungeons." Princess Rosani said. Captain Derek looks at Ty.

"Wait, so your memories are really.....gone?" Derek asks. Mitch looks at Derek.

"What did he say?" Mitch asks. Ty looks at Derek.

"I get bits and pieces but then they fade away. No matter how hard I try, I just can't remember." Ty said. Jerome points at Ty.

"Okay, Ty, what did you say? And what language is this?" Ian asks.

"A memory lock. It can only be disabled by the sorcerer who put it there. So I guess we don't need Master Magi." Derek spoke in dragon tongue.

"Does Captain Derek not speak English?" Mitch asks Rosani. Rosani sighs and nods.

"Yes, he does. He is just being a d*ckhead right now. When we woke up, we learned the language of your people fairly quickly but never forget how to speak our native tongue." The Princess said. Ty grabs Derek's arm as he turns to leave.

"W-Wait...Let Seto go." Ty said. Captain Derek tenses up, he pulls his arm out of Ty's hand and looks at Ty.

"I don't take orders from the likes of you. Prince Tobias died two centuries ago, and to me, he still died a hero." Captain Derek said before he leaves. Ty lowers his hand, he looks away, saying nothing. Jerome can see the hurt look on his face.

"Okay, I may not understand what the heck he just said. But I'll pound him into the ground." Jerome said clenching his fists.

"Do you all want to see Sky? I will get Seto out of our dungeons. But my brother can show you all to the infirmary." Princess Rosani said. They look at Ty. Ty stood still for a few moments, he looks at Rosani.

"W-Where's the infirmary again? I..I can't remember.." Ty said. Rosani gives him a say and touches his arm.

"It's fine, Tobias. It is down the hall to the left, has a sign next to the door. I will meet you all there." She said. Princess Rosani leaves. Ty looks at his friends, Ian crosses his arms at Ty.

"W-What?" Ty asks.

"So you are a long lost Prince...." Ian said.

"It does explain a lot," Jerome said. Ty looks away.

"But...I still can't remember anything. All this, all the people I met, they are familiar but I...I don't know. And what makes me feel worse is that I forget everything after I talk to someone or I forget mid-conversation." Ty said. Ty fidgets with his jacket, he looks back at his friends. "And now Rosani told me she wants me to take the throne when I know I can't lead anything or anyone. I can barely read or write anything." Jerome puts his paws on Ty's shoulders making Ty look at him.

"Hey, calm down. Calm down." Jerome said. His paws move down to grip Ty's arms. "Prince or King or Tobias or whoever you are to these people. You are still General Tyler Ellis to us and the Sky Army. And now that we know you are a Prince, us, being your friends, are no legally allowed to make fun and tease." Ty smiles a little, Jerome lets go of Ty. Ian nods.

"Yeah, and also because now that we know all this about you, we are gonna help get your memories back," Ian said. Ty looks at Ian. Mitch looks from Ian and to Ty.

"Yeah, I agree. Besides, your sister did save Sky's life. We do own her. And we haven't been really good friends to you either, Ty." Mitch said. Ty looks away.

"It isn't your guys' fault. I never told you about my amnesia, only Sky knew and he tried everything to get my memories back. But nothing worked." Ty said. Jerome shook his head.

"No. We don't mean that. We mean that we should have tried to help you more so you wouldn't be so....depressed—"

"I'm not depressed, guys," Ty said. They stay silent, Ty looks at the three. "Okay....maybe I was. But....it was just the bullying that got to me. But I would really appreciate having my friends helping me."

"Than consider it done!" Mitch said smiling. Ty smiles. Ty looks over at the door.

"I guess you guys want to see Sky.....um..I forgot where to go again..." Ty admitted.

"It's alright, we'll figure it out. Come on." Jerome said.

"Harvey!" Rosani said as she unlocked the cell door. She runs down beside him. She puts her hand on his cheek, turning his head to her. "Harvey. Come on, wake up. Please." She looks at the chains. 'They have been on him for too long!' She thought she pulls out the keys again, she unlocks the chains from his wrists, she drops the keys and slips her arms around him, bring his head under her chin. She holds him tight, closing her eyes.

"Come on...Wake up." She mumbled. She kisses his head, she looks over at the cell door, seeing Statilia. "Statilia! Go get—Harvey?!" Seto coughs, he turns his head a little as he takes a shaky breath. Rosani looks at him. "Oh thank god!" Rosani hugs him, Seto blushes when she does. "I thought you were hurt than I would have had to kill Captain Derek." He groans in pain, she quickly gets off him. "I'm so sorry! I forgot—what hurts?" Seto puts his hand out on the ground in front of him. Rosani rubs his back, she bites her bottom lip giving him time to collect himself.

"I-I'm fine. Just...Just took a lot out of me..." Seto said. Rosani puts her hand on his chest when he was leaning forward, pushing him back steady. Seto let out a shaky breath. "Geez...those chains work.." Rosani smiles a little, Seto rests his head on her shoulder.

"You want to rest in the infirmary for a little while?" She asks. Seto nods.

"Y-Yeah.." Seto said. Rosani slips his arm around her neck, her hands grabbing him, they both get up, Seto leaning into her. Rosani holds him still.

"You are lucky I have dragon strength or else I wouldn't be able to help you," Rosani said. Seto smiles a little.

"Yeah." He mumbled. Rosani and he made their way up to the hall. Seto was a little more awake by the time they got to the hall, but he was still stumbling around. Rosani looks at a few guards.

"Can one of you get the door?" She asks. One of them holds the door open as they go into the infirmary. Seto's leaning against her almost fully, his head hanging low and his eyes closed. "Guys, a little help." Ian comes over to her.

"What happened?" Ian asks as he grabs Seto's arm, pulling him over his shoulder.

"He just needs rest and he'll be okay in a few hours," Rosani said as Ian laid Seto down on a bed. Jerome looks over at Rosani. Rosani glances at Sky and smiles. Sky's asleep with Asthie curled up against his side, his arm draped over her waist and her gripping the stuffed animal and Sky's hand.

"She fell asleep with him a few minutes ago," Jason said. Rosani points at Jason.

"You must be...Quentin?" She asks. Jason shakes his head.

"Jason." He said.

"Oh, sorry." She said. Jason smiles at her.

"It's fine. Quentin is looking after the base right now." Jason said. Asthie's eyes open, she picks her head up, looking at Ty.

"Oohh! Big bro!" She squealed. She puts her arms up towards him. "Up." Ty sighs and walks over.

"How old is she again?" Ty asks Rosani.

"I'm eight," Asthie said as Ty picked her up. She puts Ty's headphone on him and she smiles. Ty smiles a little.

"She's adorable," Mitch said. Asthie looks at Mitch.

"I know." She said. Mitch chuckle softly. Sky turns his head, Rosani comes over to him and moves his shirt up. She lifts up the bandage on his stomach and feels his skin.

"The cut is gone. He's fine now." Rosani said.

"What? I don't believe you." Jason said. He moves beside Rosani and lifts the bandage. "Wait, how? Did you use a healing potion?" Seto smiled a little.

"No, it's devil cream," Seto mumbled. They look at Seto. Rosani sighs.

"That's his name for it. It's actually bexol cream. It's can heal any physical wound in minutes. But when applied, it causes a burning sensation." Rosani said.

"Devil cream," Seto said. Asthie looks at Seto. She smiles.

"I wanna go over to Jimmy." She said. Rosani looks at Asthie.

"Ash, don't you remember what I said?" She asks as Ty sat her down. Asthie looks at Rosani and than runs over to Seto.

"Jimmy?" Jerome asks. Seto sits himself up, he groans a little. 

"That's my middle name...she just likes calling me that instead of Seto," Seto said. Asthie crawls into Seto's lap. Sky's eyes open and he props himself up with his elbows. Everyone looks at him. Ty smiles.

"Hey, how you feeling? Any better?" Ty asks. Adam nods.

"Yeah...I feel fine." Sky said. Mitch motions to Rosani.

"You didn't die because of her...devil cream," Mitch said forgetting the name already. Rosani looks over her shoulder, at Seto.

"Look what you started." She said. Seto smiles, Asthie playing with her bunny as Seto rests his chin on her shoulder.

"I regret nothing," Seto said smiling. Rosani rolls her eyes and turns back to Sky. She looks at him.

"Well, now that you are a little more awake and can think straight, should I explain who Tristan Hunt is," Rosani said. Seto flinched, he looked at Asthie's hands. She grabs his hand.

"Jimmy, do magic. Do magic." She said smiling. Seto smiles and closes his hand. He mumbles when his breath, his hand glowing a little and his hand open up. A flower forming in his palm. Asthie gasps and smiles. She takes the flower.

"Seto, if you use that trick on a girl, I think she would love it," Mitch said. Seto looks at Mitch.

"Pretty sure she wouldn't be impressed," Seto said.

"Hey! Pay attention you two! I'm only explaining this once!" Rosani snapped mostly at Seto. They both look at her. "Anyway, Tristan Hunt is a very powerful Dark Mage. Do you know about a family called the Magi Family?" They all nod.

"Yeah, of course, we do. The Magi Family is an evil dark mage family that died off years ago." Mitch said. Seto's eyes look away from them, Rosani looks at Seto.

"Seto, you are better at explaining the Magi family than I am..can you.." Rosani said. Seto looks at her. 'Of course, she wants me to talk. She probably wants me to tell them the truth as well, but doing that would put them at risk. And I'm sure Jason suspects me after Asthie called me Harvey and Captain Derek calling me Master Magi.' Seto thought. Seto nodded.

"The Magi family are responsible for the creation of the Dark Arts. Vincent Magi with help from his son and Tristan Hunt create the principals that the Dark Arts stands upon. The idea behind it was to make a magic community that wasn't restricted to rules like the Light Mages are. To have a magical community that is not governed by a Council or...one person but many. Vincent was given the title of Creator the Darkness. He leads the Dark Mages for years, so when he eventually died, the...the title and responsibilities were passed down to his son." Seto said. He looked at his hands. Rosani looks at Ty.

"The Magi Family was a very powerful family, they were a family of dark mages, Vincent and his son are the most powerful. Tristan Hunt was as well. But what really caused this Kingdom to fall was an attack that was organized by..Vincent and his son. Tristan went after you, Tobias." Rosani said. Everyone but Seto looked at Ty.

"Why me?" Ty asks.

"You are the rightful heir to the throne, you are older than me by a few years. You were the best fighter in the Kingdom. Tristan saw you as..as a threat. A threat to the operation, the Kingdom was destroyed, but Tristan was locked away in a tomb by Vincent's son. A tomb..that is beginning to open and he is waking up again after 200 years." Rosani said.

"Who is Vincent's son?" Jerome asks. Rosani glances at Jerome.

"His name is Harvey Magi," Rosani said. Jason's eyes flicker over to Seto as she continued. "But he was badly injured during the Kingdom attack by his father and was injured by Tristan protecting you, Tobias, we do not know what happened to him after he sealed the tomb." Jerome shakes his head.

"But that doesn't make any sense if Harvey helped his father create the dark arts like Seto said, why would he turn around and go against his father and Hunt?" Jerome asks. Seto stayed silent when Rosani looked at him, expecting for him to answer. Rosani looks back at Jerome.

"Because he had a change of heart," Rosani said.

"A change of heart? Are you kidding?" Mitch asks. Seto looks at Mitch Mitch crosses his arms. "You can't go from creating dark magic and suddenly having a change of heart and turning good. The Magi Family created the Dark Arts, I can't see anyone in that family is a good person after that." Seto bites his bottom lip and looks at the floor.

"What happened to second chances, Mitch? People can change." Seto asks. Mitch looks at Seto.

"You do realize this is the Magi Family we are talking about. I don't think they should seem as good after creating the thing that has destroyed millions of lives." Mitch said. Seto opened his mouth to argue back, but just shut his mouth and looked away.

"N-Nope...You're right." Seto mumbled. Rosani stared at Seto, she wanted to defend him but she knew if she did, she would tell them Seto's secret and that's something that Seto doesn't want them to know. Jason looked at Mitch.

"Don't forget, he did have a change of heart. He is the reason that Ty is still alive and he sealed Tristan. So he isn't all that bad." Jason said. Seto looked at Jason, Jason met Seto's eyes for a few seconds before looking back at Mitch. Rosani looked at Jason. Sky was staring at Seto as well. Sky looked at the others.

"He died a hero. It takes guts to go against your family, to go against the only thing you knew." Sky said. Seto looked at Sky. Sky gives him a little smile. Seto's eyes widen a little. "We all have checkered pasts." Sky looks at Rosani. "If the tomb is losing its spell that Vincent's son put in place two centuries ago that we must do something so his sacrifice isn't meaningless. Where is the tomb?" Rosani looks at Seto.

"Seto...you said you came across it before." She said. Seto nods.

"That tomb is radiating dark energy, the spells put in place are fading. He's waking up. And he'll go after Ty once he wakes up. The Magic Council does not know of this tomb, but....because of a certain individual that is standing in this room.." Seto said before he looks at Ian. "They will know about it soon, so we must be quick." Ian puts his hands up in defense.

"Okay, seriously, can you blame me because I can't read your wizard language? I'm sorry I took those books out, geez, sue me if it will make you stop b*tching about it." Ian said. Rosani looks at Seto, concerned.

"What about Ty's memory?" Jason asks. Seto looks at Ty.

"Tristan put that memory lock on you, we have to get him to lift it and your memories should return back to normal. Or we could just kill him and that spell will become null and void since the caster is dead.....I suspect he did anyway...I can't see Vincent's son doing it after protecting you." Seto said. Seto winced, he puts his hand on his head.

"Okay, that's enough. You need to rest, we'll leave you two alone to recover your strength." Rosani said. She picks Asthie off Seto's lap and the others leave. Seto looks at Sky. Sky lays back down, he closes his eyes. Seto stared at him. Rosani comes back in. "Is he asleep?" Seto nods. Rosani runs over to him and hugs him. Seto tensed up, putting his hands behind him for balance as his cheeks redden. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I put you through that." Rosani sits on the bed, sitting up. "I—"

"Rosie, it's fine. My family isn't so popular around these parts anymore. I use the hate." Seto said.

"You have to tell Tobias the truth eventually. Once the spell is lifted, his memory will return. And he'll know who you are." Rosani said. Sky's eyes open, listening intently.

"The Council is going to uncover the truth eventually, very soon actually. They figure out I'm Vincent's son and come after me." Seto said. Rosani's eyes widen and she shakes her head.

"No. Harvey, you didn't do anything wrong—"

"Rosie, we both know that isn't true. I choose to help my father—"

"He forced you!" Rosani snapped. Rosani touches his arm, her bottom lip quivering. "He used you, he manipulated you and controlled you. He tricked you. I'll...I'll protect you from the Council. They—"

"Rosie! I've loved seeing you again, but I...I don't want you to help me." Seto said. Rosani shook her head, prepared to argue back but Seto grabs her arms. "Listen to me. You have a Kingdom to rebuild and people to lead. You have to take care of Asthie and help Tobias with his memory problems. Rosie...I'm not...I'm going to be leaving Astina after Hunt is dealt with." Sky tensed up, Rosani's eyes widen in shock.

"Wh-What?" Rosani stammered.

"One of my dark arts spellbooks was turned in to the Council, I only have a matter of time. I've been waiting for Hunt to reawaken so I could finish him off and then I plan to leave." Seto said. Rosani looks down on the bed, she grips his arm.

"I want to come with you," Rosani said.

"You can't. You are needed here, I won't be needed here as much anymore once the word spreads around I'm Vincent Magi's son." Seto said. Rosani looks at him.

"Promise me you will come back." She said. Seto smiled a little, he moved her hair from her eyes and moves it behind her ears. Rosani smiles a little.

"Yeah, I will. Just don't tell anyone I told you this. Especially, my friends, they wouldn't understand and if they try to come find me, make them stop. I know how to conceal my tracks, been doing it for two centuries." Seto said. Rosani nods, she touches his arms.

"How are your wrists? Did they heal?" She asks. She moves his sleeve up and moves the bandage. Her thumb rubs against his healed skin, she looks at a black rune tattooed on his skin. "Healed..I'll take the bandages off." She removes the bandages from both of his wrists and throws them away. Seto lays down on his back, he sighs. "You feeling okay?"

"Yeah, it is just weird being back in here after so long. Looks like you fixed that hole in the wall through." Seto said. Rosani looks at the wall, the wall used to be breached but it now sealed with stones. Rosani nods and looks at Seto.

"Yeah, we are repairing the castle slowly." She said. Seto stares at her, noticing her eyes are glossy.

"Rosie...you okay?" He asks. Rosani looks at him. Seto touches her arm when he sees a tear fall down her cheek.

"It isn't fair...You don't deserve to be..to be treated like this. You're a good person." Rosani said.

"Rosie....No I'm not." Seto said. Rosani grabs Seto's shoulders, pulling him towards her a little.

"Yes you are! Asthie loves you, she loves it when you come to see her and she loves it when you give her gifts. If you go, if you take that away from her away, it will destroy her," Rosani said as more tears fall down her cheeks. Seto lifted his hand up, wiping the tears off her cheek. Her eyes soften.

"Are you sure you are talking about only Ash?" Seto asks. Rosani looks away from him, not speaking. Seto gently grabs her wrist, pulling her into bed, she puts her face into his neck, her wings hanging limp off the side of the small bed. Seto moves the blanket over her, his arms going around her. Rosani grips his shirt, staining it with her tears.

"I don't..I-I don't want to l-lose you again." She said. Seto's cheeks redden a little, he looks at her. He rests his head against hers and closes his eyes. But only a few minutes later, he was asleep and she wasn't. Rosani's wings fold up against her back, and then extend out and go over Seto, pulling him closer to her. She smiles a little, her hand gripping the fabric of his shirt. A few more tears fell down her cheeks. 'I know Harvey, better than anyone does at least. And he doesn't deserve to be treated like he does when people know his Magi ties. He..He's a good person. He would never hurt anyone the way his father made him hurt others. I know he wouldn't, Wendy knew too. I just wish she was here, she could convince him to stay.' Rosani thought.
