Hello! I am very sorry for the longest delay ever! I have a serious concussion and I'm healing very slowly but I feel better enough to write! That and I had also suffered a very bad breakup that was very hard on me and sent me spiraling into a deep depression. I hope that you understand, but no matter! On with the story!

Jeena woke up in a brightly lit room. 'Where am I?' she thought as her eyes finally adjusted to the lighting, she looked down, only to find herself floating trapped in some sort of orb filled with liquid. She had a breathing device strapped over her nose and mouth and limited space to move. Even though she wasn't claustrophobic, panic was beginning to bubble up in her stomach and quickly spread throughout her petite body. 'What is this place?!' she thought panicked, as she tried to break through the orb by hitting and kicking the sides. What felt like hours a voice suddenly filled her head, "What are you trying to do Jeena? Escape?" it hissed. Jeena froze in place, it felt like there was an icy grip on her heart. "What do you want from me?" She said, surprisingly well through her breathing mask.

The voice chuckled sinisterly, "What do you think? I'm baiting the young Spectrobe Master. Because I know that he would come after you." Jeena's eyes widened, "No, he wouldn't do that." she said. But the voice continued to laugh, it's voice demonic and deep ringing in her ears. "Foolish girl! I thought you were smarter than this. He cares deeply about you and is very loyal. You truly don't think he will attempt to find you?"

Jeena shut her eyes, because she knew it was true. "No... No, Rallen wouldn't do that." Was all she could muster at that point, she couldn't argue about his loyalty to her. "What are you anyways?! You think hiding in the shadows is going to help you, you coward?! Show yourself to me!" she yelled, wanting to know who the hell kidnapped her.

Evil laughter filled the space around her, amplifying. "Who am I?" the voice boomed, "You know who I am, there is no mistaking who I am!" a shadowed figure materialized in front of the orb in which Jeena was held. The being lifted the hood from it's head to reveal a masked face. "It is I Krux, Lord of the Krawl." he said triumphantly. Jeena knew that it was him all along, but she didn't want to believe it unless he revealed himself. "Krux! I thought Rallen killed you a long time ago." She growled at him.

Krux threw back his head and let the booming laughter consume the atmosphere. "Impudent fool! He only weakened me, I had to go into hiding until I gained my strength back and now I am even more powerful than before! He will have to go through hell to get you back." he said, eying the pink haired beauty. Jeena was aware of his scanning gaze and was filled with disgust. 'Thank god I am not naked.' she thought as she looking down at herself. She was clothed in a white dress of some sort.

As the time passed Krux would come and go while Jeena remained trapped in the orb, besides her relentless attempts to escape, it was all in vain. 'Rallen... Oh Rallen... Please don't come. I don't need to be saved...' was all she kept thinking. Hoping that her thoughts could find their way to him. After what seemed like days of endless floating, Krux arrived again but this time with news. "Your young hero has arrived. And I have many obstacles for him, maybe too many for him." Krux said before chuckling. Jeena's heart sinking more and more with every laugh.

"Oh don't worry my dear, you will get to witness his suffering." Krux said as a screen popped up in the orb, surrounding her. And on the screen was Rallen and it was as if she was right next to him. She could see and hear every movement and word he said. She watched tearfully as he entered the castle that held her, "Rallen! No! Go back! Save yourself!" She screamed. But Rallen didn't react to anything she said.

Krux laughed, "I must go meet your supposed savior. And don't wear yourself out with the useless screaming, he can't hear you. If you won't shut up eventually, I will have to torment you." He said as he disappeared. Jeena's eyes filled with tears. 'Rallen... I'm so sorry...' she thought as she watched Krux appear before him and there was nothing she could do about it.
