Wag woke up with a jolt, he lets out a deep breath, hands grab his arms and shoulders, pushing down them so he would stay laying down. Wag coughs, he felt a warm hand touch his.

"Master James?" A voice asks. Wag's eyes crack open. His eyes meet with Bella. She smiles down at him and lets go of him. "How are you feeling? Any better?" Wag sits up, worrying her slightly. Wag touches his head, his head hurting, he looks over at Seto who has chains restricting him to his bed and looks in pain. The blight curse still eating away at his skin, Nova is licking his skin, taking away some of the pain but it regrows too fast for her to heal. Jazmine is talking to Vixen, Wag smiles seeing Jazmine holding Seto's hand behind her back.

Hannah hugs Wag all a sudden, he tensed up once she hugged him. But he relaxed seeing her sitting on his bed beside him. She lets go of him.

"How are you feeling? Okay? Better?" She asks. Wag nods. 

"Yeah." Wag said.

"Good." She said. Hannah than whacks Wag's arm as she stood up.

"Oww!" Wag shouted grabbing his arm. Bella chuckles.

"Don't you ever do that to me again. I had to use magic that you haven't taught me yet and I thought I was gonna kill you." Hannah said. Wag looks at Hannah.

"Sorry." Wag said. Hannah sighs, she sits on the bed next to his legs.

"It's alright, I'm glad you are okay," Hannah said. Wag looks over at Seto.

"His Blight...it's out of control again..isn't it?" Wag asks. Bella nods.

"He was fine about three hours ago, then it all of a sudden spiraled out of control. Vixen can't heal it, Nova only stops it for a few seconds and then it regrows. Georgia had to restrain him so he would hurt himself or anyone else." Bella said. Wag looks over at Lincoln. Lincoln is still unconscious, Phil and Tom are up but Lincoln is the only one who has yet to wake up. Bella follows his eyes. Her eyes soften when they land on Lincoln.

"We know he is suffering from magic exhaustion and dehydration. Archer did a lot of damage to his mind, he..he won't be an easy fix." Bella said. Wag moves his feet off the side of the bed, putting his boots on.

"Where are you going?" Hannah asks.

"I'm sick of playing hospital." Wag said. Hannah grabs Wag's arm.

"Wag, you were almost poisoned to death. Give yourself some time to heal—" The doors open and Matt comes in. He looks at Wag.

"Oh good, you are up," Matt said smiling, going over to Wag. He loses his smile. "The Magic Council found out about the attack, they found out about Lincoln and they want us to hand him over. Not only that, but the dark mages have broken through our front lines, they are headed straight for us and the capital." Wag loses his smile, he looks over at Lincoln.

"Vixen!" Wag said. He walks pass Matt. Vixen looks at Wag. Jazmine does as well. Wag looks at her and then at Seto. "Vixen goes wake up Lincoln, I'll take care of Seto." Vixen stood still, confused. He looks at her. "Boost his magic and strength levels. That should wake him up." Vixen nodded and walked away. Wag looked at Jazmine and than at Seto. He moves Seto's sleeve up, revealing blighted skin.

"Jazmine, this won't be a permanent fix but tell him to control his anger and he should be fine." Wag said. Jazmine nods. Wag looks at Matt. "Matt, you and a few apprentices evacuate the villages near us immediately. If the dark mages have broken our front lines, and they are headed towards us, I rather give the villages near us a chance." Matt nods and Wag looks down at Seto. His hands glow as he runs his hand over Seto's blighted arm. Seto lets out a shaky breath, he moves under Wag's hands but his eyes open. Jazmine goes beside him, Wag stepping aside. Jazmine touches his cheek.

"Seto, you okay?" She asks worriedly. The blight on him starts to recede, Seto coughs a few times, sitting up. "You're okay. Wag receded it." Seto looks at Wag, about to question but Wag beat him to it.

"Seto, are you up for a little revenge?" Wag asks. Seto smiles a little.

"Of course I am," Seto said.

"Master Wag, something's wrong," Vixen said. Wag looks over at Lincoln, seeing he is still asleep.

"Seto, electrify him." Wag said. Seto looks at Wag. Seto chuckled and then looked away. Wag looked at him, Seto met his eyes.

"Oh wait you are actually serious," Seto said. Wag nods. Seto gets off the bed, Jazmine puts her arms around him when he sways a little. Seto puts his arm around her neck, balancing himself. "Wag, that is a terrible idea...electrifying him could kill him, first of all. And second, he's not dead!" Wag looks at Seto, he shrugs his shoulders.

"Last time I tried to help him, I ended up with a poisoned-laced sword in me. It is your turn to help him." Wag said. Seto looks over at Vixen.

"What did you boost in him?"

"Strength and power like Master Wag said," Vixen said. Seto tensed up. 'Master...I hate that word so much now...' Seto thought.

"Try his mana pool, try to replenish it," Seto said.

"The dark mages broke the front lines." Wag said. Seto looks at Wag.

"How? I thought the front lines were holding strong against them." Seto said. Wag sighs.

"They were, four years ago, Seto. You missed a bunch of things in your absence." Wag said. Seto looks away. Nova nudges his back. "We are going to go to Archer directly, everyone else is going to evacuate the villages and hold off the dark mages best the can till we return." Jazmine grabs Seto's hand.

"Why Seto? Why not someone else?" Jazmine asks.

"Because....they want Seto just as much as they want me dead. And I know a few shortcuts on how to get to Archer. Plus, you are a powerful wizard--"

"Wait, James you can't go back into Dark Mage territory," Tom said. Wag looks over at Tom. Tom gets up, Georgia keeping him steady. "You left them, you aren't a part of their group anymore. Someone else can--"

"I'm the only one here who knows the layout of that castle and where to go to get to Archer with no problem. Seto is a powerful wizard, despite his lack of confidence lately, and he has beaten Archer before." Wag said. Seto removes his arm from Jazmine's shoulders, he took a step towards Wag, Wag turning more towards him as he did.

"James, Archer is a death mage," Seto said. Wag nods.

"I'm aware, why?"

"He is also a corruption mage, which is exactly what he did to Lincoln. The last time that Archer and I fought, he almost killed me several times." Seto said. Seto crosses his arms. "And if I'm being honest here, Archer probably have gotten significantly stronger over the years."

"So have you." Wag said. Seto chuckles and shakes his head.

"Trust me on this, I haven't. These past four years, magic was the last thing on my mind." Seto said. Jazmine grabs Seto's hand.

"You almost beat him, Haidyn and I just got in the way," Jazmine said. Wag nods.

"And don't forget, I'm helping you. And also Jazmine won't be there. You'll fight better with her not there." Wag said. Lincoln's eyes open, he groans, turning his head. Vixen gasps

"M-Master Waglington!" Vixen shouted. Wag goes over to Lincoln, the attention turning to him.

"Seto," Jazmine said. Seto turned around. Seto's eyes soften.

"I'll be fine, this is the same look you have given me before stuff like this happens. I always come back, don't I?" Seto asks. Jazmine shook her head.

"You didn't come back last time, four years ago. And I don't want to lose you again." Jazmine said. Seto moved closer to her, he kissed her forehead.

"It will okay, Jaz. I'll come back to you, I promise." Seto said. Jazmine's eyes flicker to his. She pecks a kiss on his lips.

"You are gonna go whether I want you to or not. So just please....be careful. Okay?" Jazmine asks. Seto nods. Nova nudges Jazmine's arm. Seto looks at Nova.

"Nova will be staying with you, Jazmine," Seto said. Nova looks at Seto.

'When was this decided?' Nova thought to him. 

'I need you to protect Jazmine, I'll be okay on my own.' Seto thought back. Jazmine looks at Nova and then at Seto. Nova nudges Seto.

'Alright, fine. I'll make sure she is safe.' Nova thought back. Seto looks at Jazmine.

"Dark mages are coming, you aren't safe here. Stay close to Sherri or to Lincoln. I'll come back in few hours." Seto said.

"Promise me that you will come back," Jazmine said. Seto gives her a smile. He kisses her cheek making her smile.

"I promise," Seto said. Jazmine looks past Seto, and at Wag.

"Wag," Jazmine said. Wag looks at her.

"Make sure Seto comes back, please?" Jazmine said. Wag nods at her.

"Don't worry, I'll look after him. Don't want him disappearing on us again." Wag said. Wag looks at Seto. "Let's go." Seto nods. Wag leaves and Seto kisses her cheek.

"Bye. Love you." Seto said. Jazmine smiles.

"I love you too. Good luck." Jazmine said before he leaves.
