"Please, don't kill me." He said and I laughed. Why would I kill him? "Why would I kill you?" I asked and Talon laughed. "Because he's an idiot who committed a lot of crimes." He replied as if what he just said wasn't a big deal at all. Oh that's right. He tried to kill his queen, trapped her in a cell with her former husband that she was forced to forget, tried to assault said queen and cheated on her, which is me, but still. "Do you think he deserves to die?" I asked and Talon shrugged as Daxton began to cry like a baby. "No please! I don't want to die, I don't want to die, please I'll do anything!" I smirked. Maybe I should torture him a little. See how he likes it.
"Anything?" I asked and Talon laughed. "Daxton, you shouldn't have went there." He said between laughs and I laughed too. No, he shouldn't have went there, but since he did, why not make it fun? For me anyway. "Yes, I'll do anything!" He begged and I put my scepter down and smirked. "Dump Malory, and get rid of your powers then." I ordered simply and he nodded. "Stop crying too, it's annoying." I added and he quickly stood back up and wiped his tears. "Yeah okay, consider it all gone! Just let me live!" He begged and I rolled my eyes. "Bring her here." I ordered and he ran out of the cellar and thanking me for sparing his life. "You should've zapped him with that scepter of yours," Talon said and I laughed. "Yeah, I should have, shouldn't I? I said and we both laughed before walking out.
"I kind of don't want to leave the cellar now that we made it look kind of cool and homey." I don't know why I said that out loud because it caused Talon to turn his head to me with a confused expression on his face, and it made it seem awkward. "Homey?" He asked with a smile. "Yeah," I replied and we both started laughing. As we walked on the hallway seemed to get darker and darker. I shivered as the cold air bit at my skin. "It's cold in here," I said and he nodded hugging himself to keep warm. "If I had a jacket or a sweater I'd give it to you." He said and I looked at him through the darkness. All I could see was his eyes and a very faint light along the ceiling of the stony corridor. I don't want to say anything back because I don't know what to say so I just look towards my feet which are enveloped in the pitch black that is darkness.
"I can still hear your thoughts you know," I heard Talon's voice through the darkly thick tunnel and wondered when this tunnel was finally going to end. "I know," I replied and silence followed. A few moments later light pours into the tunnel like hallway and I smile. "Yay, light!" I exclaimed and Talon put a hand to his face. "You're weird!" He said and I lightly slapped his shoulder. "Am not!" I protested. "Are too!" He teased and my shoulders slumped in mock sadness. "You're mean, meanie." I said and Talon put a hand to his heart as if someone punched him in the chest. "It hurts, it hurts!" He replied, in mock pain and I smiled. The tunnel like hallway was finally coming to an end and I breathed in the fresh air as we finally walked out. I look around to see green grass everywhere and I frown. "Where are we?" I ask Talon and he shrugs. "Um, I don't exactly know. I've never been put in prison before so I don't know how to get back home."
I let myself fall to the ground with a thud and Talon's head turns to me quickly. "Are you okay?" He asks and I nod as I start to laugh. Why did I do that? That hurt so much. "That hurt," I said and Talon sat down next to me and laughed. "We're so laughy." He said and I nodded confused. "Is laughy even a word?" I asked and he shrugged. "I don't even know!" He said. I laid down as my laughter came to a halt on the soft green grass as I inhale slowly, taking in the smell of my surroundings. "Do you think the castle's far?" I asked and Talon shook his head. "No, only if we don't fly." He replied. I looked at him in confusion. I can't fly. Wait, can I fly? I didn't think I was able to fly, but I've done other things with magic so maybe I can? "As far as I know, you can." He stated and I looked at him with wide eyes. I can fly? So I was right?
"Yeah but you could only do that when you were scared or angry because before you weren't able to conjure up enough energy." He said and I frowned. I'm most definitely not strong enough then. "I guess I have to walk then," I said and Talon shook his head. "No, no, I'll fly you." He suggested and I nodded hesitantly. Is he strong enough? I mean he was before but is he strong enough now that we've been trapped in a cellar? I don't know. "Blaze," He said and I said nothing. "I'll be okay." He assured and I nodded still unsure. "If you say so." I replied and I clapped my hands together. "Okay, how are we going to do this?" I asked and Talon smiled excitedly. "Get on my back." He instructed. What? Why? "Come, on Blaze, it's like an epic piggy back ride!" He exclaimed and I hesitantly hopped on his back. "Don't let me die." I warned and he chuckled. "I won't." He assured and I nodded. "Hold on tight, this might be a little bumpy." He said and he shot up into the sky as I held on screaming for dear life.
