The prince was gone, and only the guards were there left in the mansion. the lord was taken to the dungeon along with his guards and the maid. Dean and roman went after the prince as soon as he leaped away after hearing what Dean told him. Dean knew that only hearing his lunar's name would finally bring him back to his senses, and as expected, it did, Reine let go of Ed and headed to the gates of the mirrormoor city.
Raven ran to Ed as soon as the prince was gone and asked him
"Ed are you okay?"
"Am fine Raven, go after the prince"
"Don't worry, Dean and roman already went after him"
Ed nodded and said to them.
"The prince better find the lady, or else ... we're all doomed."
" And Alive for that matter...."
Leith added in. Ed stood and told them all
"you guys go back to the palace, I, Leith, thor and raven will go after the prince. make sure the lord doesn't escape."
" Yes sir!! "
The guards leaped away as the four of them left heading to the gates of Mirrormoor, stopping his highness before he does anything stupid which they knew for sure he'll do such just that.
when they reached the gates, they were shocked go what met their eyes, Dean and Roman were standing there on top of the wall staring to the other side of the wall, to the dark forest, as the gate guards were badly beaten up. They stopped there and looked down at the guards. Raven shook his head and said
"God his fast, he already wiped out all the guards here and left heading to the dark forest, impressive!"
Raven was amazed by his highness's speed to do all these in just a matter of a minute he left
without wasting time, Ednan leaped and landed on top of the wall where he met Dean and Roman. Dean said before Ed asked him anything.
"He already went to the dark forest, and he strongly ordered not to be followed, and if anyone tried to follow him, We should stop them. he can take care of this on his own"
Ed sigh as he looked to the dark forest as well.
" Well.... his orders are our commands.."
" But we'll stay here and wait for them, right? "
Roman asked as he looked at the two of them. Dean sigh and said nothing. and as for Ed, he answered
" If he won't take too long that is"
" What?! ofcourse he'll take too long, that forest is huge and there are huge monsters in there along with beasts, it'll take him days or weeks to find her!! "
" Then let's hope, he'll find her soon and come out there alive"
Dean turned to Ed and asked him.
" I heard he was found in this forest 16 years ago, alive, so if he survived then even when he was 6, don't you think he can survive now as well? "
" if he'll use the same strategy he used back then to survive"
the others also landed on the wall and Thor gave his report.
" All the guards are completely fine, they just seemed to be paralysed as they can't move a thing, but I checked them and there's nothing to worry about, they'll be fine in a few minutes"
Raven clapped his hands and told him
" Woah nice Thor, mind telling me where did you learn all this stuff about? hmmmmm?"
Thor looked at him and told him.
"Mother is a doctor here remember? she taught all those stuff"
"Woah cool mom you got there"
" Raven, this is not the time to be making jokes, you know if his highness doesn't find the lady he'll surely kill lord Henry and his guards and if that happens, havoc will rise in this peaceful city of Mirrormoor, so instead of jocking around, try to prey that he'll find her alive...hmmm?"
" Yes sir,, but shouldn't we also go after him, to help him find her?"
" He said not to be followed, and if we do, were dead"
" Dead by the monsters and the beasts in the forest or by him"
when raven asked that, they all turned and looked at him, with the disappointment look in their eyes,he looked at them and asked
" What I just asked"
Ed shook his head as Thor hit raven at the back of his head. Dean was staring at the large forest, he looked calm just like the forest out there, bit inside, he was raging, feeling restless as his highness went out there on his own.
Reine was back to normal now, his eyes returned to icy blue again when he stepped foot on this large forest. before coming in here, he asked the guards on the wall where those two guards who came here went. they told him that they went to the south as soon as they told them that they were going to throw the body of a traitor. when Reine heard this, he got furious and asked them to move out of his way so that he could leave through the gates as well, but the guards knowing him as the prince, they refused him and block his way, and that when he got mad and beat them up long with his two side kicks. then, he leaped to the wall along with his two side kicks and told them to wait as he went to the dark forest alone and they did as they were told.
So now here he was, in the forest, heading to the south in search of his Lunar, with her bracelet on her palm, looking at it every now and then, hoping that he would find her alive and well. because if he doesn't, then only God knows what he will do if he finds her dead or in the condition that she was in.
Lunar was left lying on the dark ground filled with dead leaves as they were scattered every where, the dark forest was quiet, only the sounds of the birds were heard flying on to this direction as the monsters were on the north. Then, lunar felt something crawling her bare arm making its way to the surface,that's when she slowly opened her eyes and finally woke up, her eyes were still a little hazy as they couldn't see clearly, but that thing was on it's neck now, and that's when she looked and saw what was on her neck. A centipede, a large long centipede was making its way to her mouth, she jolted up and screamed as she quickly threw the centipede away from her body, then, she wanted as she looked down, it was the ground, and leaves.... she looked up and that's when she realized she was in a place which she was very familiar with, the dark forest...
