This story takes place just after Merleawe kissed Princess Seraphia.

Merleawe had been tossing and turning in her bed for several hours now. She was whimpering.

Merleawe was starting to sweat even as she was turning in her bed.

Fern was sitting reading a book in another part of the castle. "Woah...I didn't know you could do that spell! I'll try teaching it to Merleawe later" He smirked. "Merleawe... You're so innocent yet so cheeky..."

A vision of Merleawe kissing the Princess popped in his head. 'That's another thing...' He thought to himself 'She may very well be a tom-boy...We'll see' He sighed as he continued to read his book.

About 20 minutes later however. Merleawe's scream alerted Vaith, Yue, Fern and Glenn raced towards Merleawe's room.

[In Merleawe's Dream World]

Merleawe had been running for many miles now, her feet were carrying her as fast as they could go. She glanced back to see Princess Seraphia pointing at her with all the knights running towards her. "Kill her! She is an imposter! She even impersonated Sylthfarn! Kill her!" All the knights nodded as she chased after Merleawe.

As Merleawe rounded another corner she saw Vaith blocking the path that would lead to her freedom. "V-V-Vaith..." She slowed down as she approached him. He already had his sword drawn.

[Reality]

Fern threw Vaith an angry look. "From the looks of it, Merleawe has seen you in her dream! I just wonder what's really going on..." He whispered as the rest of the castle crew looked on while Yue was trying to wake Merleawe up.

[Merleawe's Dream World]

Merleawe backed up as Vaith walked towards her. Her back hit the wall as she began to panic. "Vaith? What did I do to deserve this!? I am not your enemy!"

Vaith glared at her. "You are to blame for EVERYTHING that has happened to the kingdom of Viegald! Now...You will die"

Merleawe tried to climb the boxes to her left. 'I can get out of here if I just climb these!' She thought as the knights closed in on her.

Before Vaith and the other Black Knights could do anything however...A strong magical blast forced all of them back towards the castle and Merleawe onto the floor.

Merleawe rubbed her head as she groaned. "That wasn't...Quite an escape..."

"I think the same thing...Want a hand up?" Merleawe looked around as she felt pain because of her fall. "O-Okay..."

Merleawe looked up and spotted a boy in a rather offical looking outfit. "W-W-Who are you?" She questioned the boy as she accepted his hand and slowly stood up.

"Name's Sylthfarn. What's yours?" Sylthfarn nodded at Merleawe as he turned to the castle. "My na-n-a-name is Merleawe..."

Sylthfarn smiled. "You're the one who's been forced to be me over these past few months?" Merleawe was stunned. "How did you know about that?"

Sylthfarn turned to Merleawe. "'Cause I can read your thoughts my dear" He turned to the castle and began to walk towards it, he turned when he noticed Merleawe wasn't following him. "Hey Merleawe...Its okay...I mean we ca-Hey, what's wrong?" He was confused as he walked towards her. Her head was down and she was shaking.

Merleawe closed her hands and her eyes. "Its been...So...horrible!" She finally lost it and fell down onto her hands and knees as she began to cry over and over again. "Glenn...Fern...Yue...Vaith...They've put me through hell! Not to mention I kissed your damn fiance' on the cheek! I'm an imposter! A lier! A tomboy! I can't cope with this anymore!"

Sylthfarn stood in front of her, his eyes warm as he knelt down onto one knee in front of her.

[Reality]

Yue was confused. "She's not talking anymore...Something about Quite an escape?" Fern nodded. "Hmmm...We should wake her up I mean that's th-"

Vaith had taken the inititive, he filled up a bucket of water. "If there's one thing that will wake her up, its this! No magical power required! Even I can fill up a bucket of water!"

"Yeah, that's your only marketable skill..." Fern grumbled.

[Merleawe's Dream World]

Sylthfarn put a hand on Merleawe's right shoulder. "You've been through hell, haven't you Merleawe?" Merleawe nodded although her eyes were still closed. "You don't know the half of it Master Wizard..."

Sylthfarn slowly put his right hand under Merleawe's chin. "Hey...Common...Look at me" He slowly rose her head but her eyes remained closed. He sighed. "I've been looking for someone to have a relationship with..."

"I can't...I can't ever have you as a friend..." As Merleawe's eyes snapped open, Sylthfarn's widened in shock. "Why not?"

Merleawe's eyes looked down for a moment then back up at his. "Everyone in Viegald thinks that you're dead! You've been gone almost a year!"

Sylthfarn looked down. "My god...I didn't realise I was gone for that long..." He looked up at Merleawe who was still crying. He looked around. "I assume this is your nightmare?" She nodded. "Tell you what, I'll come back to Viegald on one condition"

Merleawe blinked and tilted her head slightly to the right. "What's that?" Sylthfarn smiled. "If you promise me that I'll meet you at the very least...I'll come back"

Merleawe took no time to think about it, no matter what the consequence could or would be. "I promise! I promise you Master Wizard!"

Sylthfarn smiled again as he pulled the distressed girl into a hug. He began to rub her back as her tears started to sub-side. "Alright, keep a watch out for me.. I'll try to get back while you're asleep...Use my bed...I don't want you getting hurt"

Merleawe smiled for once during the whole event. "Thank you Master Wizard" Sylthfarn looked back to her with a very serious glare in his eyes. "Make sure you do what you promised. I expect you to be in that bed or at the very least being woken up" Merleawe, although she was shocked nodded her head. "Y-Yes I will"

[Reality]

Vaith raced towards the bed Merleawe was in and poured all the ice cold water onto the girl. Fern leaned over her. "She's no-" Merleawe woke up with a start and shot up out of bed, knocking heads with Fern. "Ow!" Fern yelped as he fell to the floor. "Damn your stupidly hard head!"

Merleawe fell back onto the bed with a loud thump. "Owch!" She groaned as her back hit the hard bed beneath her. 'Oh for god's sake... I just buggered up my back again...'

"Yue! Yue!" Yue turned to one of the maids of the castle, preventing her from seeing inside the room. "Yes Madiline, what is it?" Madiline turned around. "The master wizard! He's back!"

All five people's eyes in Sylthfarn's bedroom widened. "Oh my god..." Vaith was the first to speak as he lowered himself onto one knee, disguarding the bucket within moments.

'That's very damn quick!' Merleawe thought as she shot out of Sylthfarn's bed, throwing her clothes on and removing the Master Wizard's clothes in a flash. Fern had glanced at her and smirked, but Glenn had smacked him around the head so Fern would look ahead.

All five people heard the noise of what sounded like a young boy walking towards the bedroom. "Madiline, is there a girl in my quaters? I heard her's name is Merleawe"

Vaith, Yue, Glenn and Fern looked at Merleawe. Merleawe looked down and figeted. She was extremely nervous. 'What in the, how did she, where did she meet him?' They all thought as Sylthfarn walked through the doors of his bedroom, gaining all the five occupants attention.

Merleawe didn't look at him as he walked towards her. "Everyone, head to the dining area. I want to talk to this girl on my own" Fern was about to argue when Glenn covered his mouth and pulled Fern out of the room with the others.

Sylthfarn stood in front of Merleawe. "So, you're the double I've heard so much about. When did you get to the castle?" Merleawe opened her mouth although she was shaking. "I-I-I got here..."

Sylthfarn looked to the right at the window, then back to her. "I asked you when did you get in here! Answer me!" He shouted making Merleawe scared of him in millions of ways. "I got here...A number of months ago...I can't remember when"

[The Castle - Dining Area]

Sylthfarn's voice had echoed throughout the entire castle. Princess Seraphia was about to go and find her fiance' but was stopped by the king.

Fern cringed. "Damn...She's being shouted back to civilan level..." Vaith nodded. "Yeah..."

[Sylthfarn's Bedroom]

Merleawe rose her head and saw Sylthfarn's angry eyes staring back at her. She gulped. "Why did you pose as me!? Have you not shame!?" He continued shouting as Merleawe watched him getting more and more angry. He clicked his right hand fingers and the entire room went darker and darker. Until it was just him and Merleawe.

Merleawe shook in fear as he stepped towards her. "I...I posed as you to help the kingdom! I didn't want to do it originally! It was all Vaith's idea!"

Sylthfarn raced towards Merleawe, grabbing her by the throat and rammed her against the wall. "Blame my protector will you!?" He shouted. "You are very" He leaned closer to her right ear. "Very lucky I don't kill you right here right now" He pulled back his right hand, while keeping her held with his left and placed it onto her left arm. Merleawe screeched out in pain as she felt her blood beginning to boil.

[The Castle - Dining Area]

Yue turned to the King. "Your majesty! We can't let Merleawe be killed! She only had your kingdom's best interests at heart!" The king thought for several minutes. "Wait..."

Fern looked to the princess and they both nodded at each other. "That's enough!" Both Fern and Princess Seraphia raced towards Sylthfarn's bedroom much to the protests of the others.

They only hoped they were not to late...
