Jack Blaze POV

"We've been walking throughout Dunbroch for ages," I sigh, "Are you sure that toy of yours works?"

Shuei shakes his head and laughs like he is mocking me, "This? This is advanced technology working with the laws of spiritual nature. We walk to give the other angel's so we can capture all different directions of a star cluster."

Sadly, covering large distances by flying is more physically draining then walking. Flying is only good for getting you places fast.

I pat his fluffy hair harshly, "Good work brat. But I'd like to rest now."

I lay on the soft green grass, gazing at the broken dim sky. I sigh, as I think of the possible whereabouts of Rapunzel.

I have no direction to get to Elsa.

"Jack," Shuei calls me lying right beside me, "Have you ever thought of the possibility that Elsa might not even exist anymore?"

"... Yeah," I laugh wryly and look at him with a weak smile, "But I like to focus on the possibility that she's out there."

"Admit it!" He raises his voice at me and stands up, "You have interest towards her!"

In suprise I sit up from my laying position, "What are you insinuating?!"

Shuei squints his eyes at me, and looks like he is furious with me, "You would chase her to gap worlds to bring her back! You like her!"

My eyes widen and I avoid any eye contact with Shuei, like he is toxic or something.

"... You're a coward Jack." He simply tells me and returns to his lying position in the grass patch.

I stay sitting up and look up to the stars, so many times people have accused me of liking Elsa.

... To be honest I've absolutely hated it and rejected the idea. But, why now is it shaking me up and making me confused? I hate this feeling even more.

I've come to save her. I've come to pay her back from saving me from the Captotrix. Yes. That's all.

Shuei can be quiet, and not mess up my mentality.

"Don't you have Hell to run?" He asks me.

"Shut up." I answer, "You talk too much."

"Is being curious a crime?"

I wryly laugh, "No ... it's a start of an adventure."

"You are really complicated Jack," He tells me, "Your actions contradict your words."

... Do they really? I just do what I do naturally. Is this the person I am?

"I'm not complicated at all," I admit, "I'm very simple."

He mutters sarcastically, "Sure."

"Truth is," Shuei confesses, "I miss Jenx. But I've got to be an independent hero like her."

I stay silent and star at the sky beyond, even if she may be somewhere out there.

Somewhere in time or even outside of that universe.

I hate this distance.

"I hate being far away from her," Shuei continues to talk, "But I will be strong for her!"

I look beside me and see Shuei with a wilful expression on his face, and a slight smile. Then turn back a lay snuggly in the grass.

I slowly drift to sleep under the beautiful stars ...

... but I can hear Shuei yelling and being damn loud.

I am past my limit. I sit up and turn to him in rage, "Shut up brat or I'll through your childish figurines in the river!" I exclaim in a deep tone.

He ignores me and maintains his composure and smiles at me calmly.

... Last straw ...

"Corona." He tells me, "Rapunzel is in Corona!"

My face drops, "... Don't believe dreams."

"Jack, unlike you I have a team. They finally found Corona. Which is straight across." He says and points up to the sky.

My face lights up.

Finally, I have the foothold to take a step.

Elsa POV

I look at Jack, he seems as shocked as I am. All these fried demons lying on the floor, what should I do?

Jack looks at his hands, and a tear rolls down his cheek.

One of the demons was on his last breaths and simply muttered to Jack, "... Monster."

I look up to Jack and he sees my expression written on my face he shakes his head, "Don't believe him!"

I try to respond but suddenly I am muted, I can't speak. Something was controlling me and I felt a force holding me back. I try to run to Jack but these invisible claws were digging into my skin, I shut my eyes tightly then I open them.

Panting heavily I could see the old lady looking at me. She was stroking her forehead, "All I wanted was ribs."

"Just what are you?!" I ask her exclaiming.

"I am a witch." She simply responds, "A witch who immigrates from worlds and kingdoms to fetch special ingredients."

"So you're not a demon of any sort?" I ask.

"No ... I just shape shift." She answers, "Now you have played a very key role in Jack's life."

"What was that?"

"After that incident, he may be reluctant to use his full powers because of the shock written on your face." She tells me.

"If you let me speak in that moment, I would've gotten rid of that misunderstanding." I reply, in anger.

That was one of the reasons why he was so conscious and so insecure about the Captotrix tragedy.

"He also won the support of Hell after he demonstrates such power." She continues, "But considers himself as a 'monster'."

I shake my head, I caused so much damage to him already, "I'd like to leave," I tell the Witch, "I've done enough here."
