Zoey walked into the dining room, all she could think about was seeing Rythian and how handsome he had grown in the years they had been a part; but it didn't last long till she was knocked out of that day dream and saw her father with the king of Ambrosia and his son Duncan sitting at the table.
"I see you've finally arrived, your highness." said the King as he and his son bowed to her.
"Father what are they doing here?" asked Zoey and her father looked slightly embarrassed.
"They're here to discuss a proposal." said her Father rubbing her hands together.
"What proposal?"
"Your marriage proposal to prince Duncan."
"WHAT!" Shouted Zoey stamping her foot in frustration.
"Just spend the day with Duncan and see what you think." said her Father
"Fine." said Zoey folding her arms as Duncan stood up and walked over to her.
"I can show you something cool!" said Duncan getting out a pocket watch and walked outside with Zoey.
::::::::
"So what did you want to show me?" asked Zoey as Duncan showed her the pocket watch
"Watch this." Duncan pressed the knob on the side and the watch sprung open and a tiny figure popped up and start spinning like a doll from a music box.
"Wow!" said Zoey watching as the dancers twirled on the watch.
"It's amazing what a few gears and some super glue can do," said Duncan smiling. "So what do you want to do?"
"I have no idea? want to see the garden?' asked Zoey and Duncan nodded his head and they walked to the garden.
:::::::::
In the garden Zoey was showing Duncan her little patch of mushrooms she had grown.
"So... What are your thoughts on magic?" asked Zoey and Duncan just shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned back.
"To be honest... Completely illogical," said Duncan and Zoey frowned. "I mean people making things disapear into thin air, it makes no sense." Zoey folded her arms and leaned against an old willow that shaded her garden but still let enough sunlight through.
"Well I believe in magic seen it myself." said Zoey
"Really, no wonder your fathers says you're a little immature," said Duncan, "But no worries as soon as we're married you'll be done with silly things like magic, besides Science explains everything."
"Wait who said I'm marrying you?" asked Zoey with annoyed look on her face.
"Well it's been arranged." said Duncan grabbing Zoeys hand
" Shouted Zoey pulling her hand out of Duncans grasp and running off into the town.

Rythian walked along the dark alleyway that was a short cut up to the castle meant to only be used in emergencies but Rythian was making sure he couldn't be seen, breathing slowly small puffs of cool air blew out of his nose and rose slowly into the air; the musky smell of mold and debrey from years of not being used made Rythian happy he had his bandana because he would have gone into a coughing fit from the air.
"I just need to get back," said Rythian in hand a small pouch of netherwart. "I knew it'd be easy getting to the Market but back to the castle, well that's another story." Rythian wasn't surprised he had started talking to himself, spending years trapped in a room did that to a person, he had named his other half Ender, his bad half, his dark half.
"You should have never left," said Ender hissing and appearing before Rythian, "You're not cut out to be in the real world." Ender was an exact copy of Rythian but had eyes of a darker purple, a more 'evil' tone of purple like those of an enderman.
"I just was running an errand," said Rythian, "It's not like I'm living in the real world now." Ender laughed and got close to Rythian.
"You belong in that room, you're nothing but a monster," said Ender laughing "Don't you remember it was you who killed you're mother, you trying to show her spell then running off like a coward when everything goes wrong."
"That was you Ender." said Rythian as he went to lie against a brick wall.
"We're one and the same Rythian," said Ender smirking, "One and the same." Ender laughed manically and his sword stabbing Rythian in the side.
"We are may be one person," said Rythian as a young girl came running towards him "But we are not the same," Rythian smiled as the last of his vision disappeared and the girl grabbed him by the hand. "We are not the same."
I just realised how dark that last bit was... Considering Rythian and Ender are the same person... So basically Rythian stabbed himself... *Backs away slowly*
