"Uh, excuse me!" Tolkalee snapped as he entered the room. He ripped his dagger out of it's sheath, and moved around to face the figure, standing next to Cronos. "Leave him alone."

The royal figure turned to Tolkalee. He had sapphire colored eyes and silver hair.
“And…who are you to tell me to stop…?” With every word the royal figure said, Cronos let out a pained scream. The royal figure set his black umbrella on his shoulder.

"A nobody, that dislikes seeing people in pain," Tolkalee replied. "Plus you haven't given a plausible reason for inflicting pain upon him."

The royal figure closed his umbrella and all the gray needles on Cronos’ body retracted back into it, giving Cronos a last gift before he left the room. Cronos let out a tortured cry and the royal figure left the room.

"Thanks for answering," Tolkalee called after him annoyed. He crouched next to Cronos, grabbing his arm and pulling him onto his back. He checked to make sure he was still alive. "Do me a favor and don't die." He said pulling out a water bottle from his satchel.

Cronos slowly stood up while shaking with fear. He called out to the royal figure and bowed.
“I’m terrifyingly sorry Lord Grayson!” He apologized.
The royal figure turned back, shooting Cronos a cruel glance. “You disgust me…” he said before walking out of the room.
Cronos stood up straight and looked at Tolkalee. “Sorry…” he huffed. “It’s necessary for us to respect the Viscounts…” he explained to him. “…and don’t worry, I won’t die from just that” he comforted, breathing relatively hard.

"Well you disgust me to," Tolkalee called after the figure. Ignoring Cronos' warning.

The royal figure stopped and smiled. He then continued to walk away.
Cronos sighed. “I forgot to warn you that saying something like that will get you hurt soon enough…”

"He can do nothing to me that hasn't already been done before," Tolkalee rolled his eye. "I'm pretty sure that I have been injured by any possible thing by this point. I've been punched, stabbed, burned, frozen, controlled, poisoned, cut, tortured for three months straight, bitten by wolves, big cats and bears, electrocuted, thrown through walls, windows, trees, rocks, anything hard, I've been stoned, impaled, and mentally tortured, thrown off cliffs, broken arms, legs, ribs, hands, had dislocated everything. There is literally nothing he could do to me that hasn't been done before."

“Attack your spiritual self instead of your body or mental self?” Cronos wanted to confirm.

"Been done," Tolkalee sighed.

“Well I guess that’s not new to you…and I’ve got to say, Lord Grayson does that a lot and it’s always terrible” Cronos claimed.

"I never said it wouldn't be terrible, I just said it wouldn't be new," Tolkalee shrugged. "I'll be able to endure it though. I kind of got use to pain when I was tortured for three months straight."

“You sure?” Cronos laughed a little. “So, is Adara good now?”

"She's not going to blow anything up anymore. But she has been physically drained. I left her in the other room and came to help you," Tolkalee explained.

Cronos raised a brow. “Let’s go to her then” he said as he walked to the room Adara was in.

Adara was still. Her eyes were open, and she was staring at the ceiling. Fire was dancing around her, but it was half-hearted. She had regained some energy, but not much.

Cronos walked to Adara.
“Feeling better now?” He asked, kneeling next to her.

"I've been better," she said. She sat up slowly, ignoring the pain in her head.

Tolkalee waited at the door making sure no one else came in. He glanced over at Adara and Cronos, but made no comments.

Cronos sighed.
“Listen, I will try to get Aisen back or at least try to find him… not only for your sake, it’s also for my sake…” he comforted Adara.

(What actually happened when Lord Grayson saw Cronos)

“Cronos, you know about Aisen’s disappearance correct?” the royal figure asked.
“Of course I do, why?” Cronos replied.
“Right now he’s with Azure but I have no idea where they are. Azure told me that he was attacked by someone he didn’t know…” the royal figure said to him.

Adara sighed. "Okay." She stood. "I'm going to sleep," she said, "this time hopefully without someone attempting to kidnap me."

Cronos turned to Tolkalee.
“I’ll be right back…I need to find someone…” he said and he passed by him. He ran through the hall and headed deeper into the building.

"Sure," Tolkalee turned to Adara. "I'll keep watch, don't worry."

Cronos ran through the barricade that bordered the main halls with the inner part of the building. He saw a figure in an dark blue colored royal suit and knelt down.
“Greetings Lord Azure…” Cronos set his staff down beside his kneeling body.
“You’re here for him aren’t you… Cronos?” The viscount turned back and asked.
“Affirmative, my lord” Cronos claimed.
The royal figure giggled. “Take me to the person who wants him the most…” the figure requested.
“Understood, my lord” Cronos said as he stood up and started to guide the viscount to Adara.

Adara was asleep. She was curled in a ball, how she usually slept, and fire was flickering in a protective ring around her.

Tolkalee waited at the door for Cronos to return.

Cronos rushed back into the room. Seeing Adara asleep, he knelt down again and gestured into the room.
“Here she is, my lord, but I’m afraid that she is currently asleep…” Cronos looked down at the ground as he said it.
The figure Cronos invited into the room slowly walked into the room. With every step, blue flowers grew where the figure had stepped. He motioned to sit down and a throne made of blue flowers emerged from the ground. He turned to Cronos. “I can wait… and you can stand up…” he said it loud enough for Cronos to hear but not for Adara to hear.
“Understood, my lord” Cronos accepted and stood up.
