Still standing in front of Fiama, Rose scooped her hair back, breathing shakily. “Alright, it's okay. You're alright. ”, Rose said lifting her up. But right now we need help. Can you help us, Fiama?” Fiama glanced up, shoving her soaked hair from her face. “Yes, I'll help you. Anything! How can I serve you, my queen?” Rose gulped at her choice of words. My queen. Words she never thought she'd hear in a million years, or even in another lifetime. “You don't call me queen until I really am one, okay? I'm not used to it,” Rose said walking her out. “Now, I need you to take us Queen Spina. Can you do that?”, Amos asked bitterly. “Yes. We have to pass through the Amazonite Forest to get to the Castle of Abalonia. She'll be close to your queen, if she's not already there,” Fiama explained. “Then what are we waiting for?”, Mila asked.

Walking through the Amazonite Forest was peaceful with a few of the tangingerine stones glowing. Amos tossed a broken branch as Shivat ran for it, her eyes glowing with happiness. But it would have been serene if the forest wasn't destroyed. “How close are we?”, Rose asked rubbing her neck. Amos tried to glance ahead. “We still have a long way to go”. Rose turned her face to see Fiama, walking dazed. “You doing alright?” Fiama dabbed her eye with her thin orange sleeve from her flowy dress. “Yeah, I'm okay”. Rose looked down and gulped. “Can I ask you something?” Fiama glanced up in surprise. “Sure”.

“Why did you take sides with Queen Spina?” Fiama stood expressionless. “I-I didn’t want to. I had no choice”. Rose slowed her pace. “What do you mean you had no choice? She forced you?”, Rose said saddened. Fiama's eyes watered again. “She knew that I had my ability. She watched me practice, grow with it. So one night, she came into my home and kidnapped me. She said if I didn't side with her I'd pay the price”. Rose shook her head, lightly pulling her arm to keep Amos and the other's pace. “What was the price?” she said, swallowing hard. Fiama flinched as a shiver crawled on her spine.

“S-she said I'd die along with everyone I cared about. So, I learned to be like her, because there was no other option. Now, you gave me a way out. I don't mean it when I say long live Queen Spina. She deserves to be stripped from everything she loves. That wretched woman!”, she explained, her name being spat out like poison. Rose shuddered at the thought of being captured by someone so vicious. “I'm so sorry. I didn't think that you went through that”. “Hey! There's a new constellation!”, Mila called. They all glanced up, standing on top of logs. “What's the pattern?” Rose snatched a nearby leaf using that one as a lense once again. Fiama raised her eyebrows. “It's like looking through a telescope”, she explained. Craning her neck, she analyzed the stars. “It’s a flame, with a glowing heart. What does that -”, Rose asked cutting herself short as she took off running past them all.    

“ROSE!! Hey, wait!”, Amos shouted through the burned forest. They all glanced at each other in shock. “She’s in danger!”, Rose screamed as she swiftly raced to the castle. Her head shot up, her eyes grazing over the night sky. “She’s here! Be PREPARED!!!”  Shivat let out a loud echoing howl that shook them to their core. The biggest battlecry of all, the moment where they could lose everything was here.
