The Next Day

"Sorry about yesterday, Ran." I sighed.

"It's ok, I guess I was too obvious to start with. You think I'm evil, right? So, I shouldn't have pushed you like that in the first place. Sorry about that, guess I got a little carried away." Even though he's the one apologising, I don't feel right. I feel, bad.

"It's time to go!" A man bursted through the door with guards by his side. "Jan, aren't you?"

"Who the hell are you guys?" But then I remembered something and asked. "Go where?" I asked.

"To Millennia", he answered.

"Millenia? Why are you going there?" Ran turned around giving me a puzzled look. I turned back to the bastards. "I'm not going!" I yelled taking out my sword. "I'll murder you all with ease. You do not want to mess with me!"

"It's not an option! It's an order." His guards charged at me trying to grab me but I dodged their attacks and killed one of them. One guard snatched my sword away so I tried to get it back screaming, "Don't touch it! It'll kill you!" But he didn't listen. He dropped onto his knees as my sword slowly grew bloody red vines that strangled him to death. He dropped the sword distracting me as the guards had a chance to grab onto me.

"Hey! Let go!" I yelled struggling to get out of their grasp. I turned around seeing Ran was totally frozen at his spot.

"Don't even bother!" The man walked up to me and lifted up my chin making face towards him. "It's not an option for you to go or not. You're going even if it kills you!"

"As if!" I spat in his face and kicked the guard's ass as I elbowed the other guard's stomach. I picked up my sword and held onto Ran's hand. "Let's go!" I yelled trying to pull him, but he wouldn't budge.

"It's my Imperial Arm, mind control as well as paralysing my opponent." Ran held onto my hands and turned me over to the man. "You can't do anything now."

Wait, what's going on? My hands, their moving on their own! I picked up my sword and walked out the door with the man and his guards. What's going on? Ran! Please listen! Get help! Ran! Ran!

The next thing I knew, I was in a bed still wearing my casual clothes. I got out of bed and looked around. I'm definitely at Millenia, this room is fit for a queen. I took a peek out the door seeing a guard staring down at my face.

"I will be your escort today", he bowed. I followed him into something that looked like a throne room where a young man was stood there smiling at me.

"My name is Takeshi, surely you've heard of me."

"Sorry, I haven't."

"Well, let me introduce myself. I'm Takeshi Ryussian Tatsuo, the Second Prince of Millenia. Nice to meet you!" He gave me a heart warming smile lifting out his hand as I shook it.

"You said you're the second prince, so does that mean you have other siblings as well?"

"You're definitely right. I have 3 brothers. The oldest one is a slacker, he just goes off around the castle doing things he wants to do. The other two are training today. I also have two sisters-"

"Then why am I here?!" I interrupted.

"Good question. They are both not worthy enough to take the throne. It's also because the other two girls have no intention of being a queen."

"I have no intention of being queen. And I can't ever be worthy enough to lead a kingdom as big as yours. Where's my Imperial Arm? What did you do with it?"

"Your Imperial Arm is left where you were controlled to put it. Don't worry, it is highly guarded. Nobody can remove it from its current spot. My sisters have no power to rule this kingdom, they just look fancy and does what they want. They're weaklings. Anymore questions?"

"No, I won't get anymore answers from you anyway", I sighed. His guard escorted me back into my room and closed the door. I took a seat and stared down letting my tears and emotions burst out of me. I ... Just want to go home. With my friends, the Jaegurs.

"Ran, why are you so late?" I stood and walked towards the door. I turned the knob seeing that they left it unlocked. I peeked my head outside seeing that the coast was clear. I ran out of the castle seeing that there were tall walls surrounding the castle. I fell onto my knees as my tears just grew worse. It was obvious, they wouldn't have let the door unlocked if it wasn't for these walls.

"Are you lost?" I turned around seeing a nice looking man stare at me. "You're ....... crying!" I wiped away my tears and tried making a smile.

"No I'm not!" I laughed and wiped away my tears, trying to keep things positive.

"Follow me, I'll lend you a little secret of how I let go of my stress." He gave me a smile and held my hand up. I followed him to a place. It was a room full of bows and arrows. At the end of the room I saw three targets. "Now watch and learn!" He picked up a bow and three arrows as I sat down on the floor. He aimed at the target and released. "See, I hit a bullseye!" He jumped. He stopped jumping then laughed slightly,"it's actually my first time, he he." He handed me his bow and arrow pushing me 6 foot away from the target.

"Are you serious?" I stepped back another 2 metres and took aim at his arrow in the target.

"Wait a sec-" His mouth opened wide. "How? I've been practicing for years and you ... Split my arrow and hit the bullseye!" He pointed at my arrow on the same target. "How are you so good at this?"

"Archery's not really my thing though." I put the bow back in it's spot and sat down again.

"Come at me!"

"What?"

"If you're not into Archery then you must be into wrestling or something!"

"Ok? I'm warning you though!"

"Seriously? Girls are weaker than-" I charged at him and punched him right in the stomach.

"Girls are weaker than what?" I yelled. I jumped on him and twisted his arm back.

"Ok, ok! I surrender!" I let go of his hand and got off him. "Geez, I've never fought with a girl like that in ages! What are you really? I've never seen you in the castle before?"

"Let's just say, I'm not from around here." I sighed. I walked towards the exit. "Maybe I'll see ya soon ...."

"Kazuki."

"Kazuki, nice name. The name's Jan."
