Sorry for the delay! But here is chapter eight! :D

Chappie 8

"Why are you doing this Time?! What happened to you?!" Orzelchopin asked while trying to untie his tied hands. We, the proud and awesome Our Tale members, were in a dungeon, a dirty one too. Before this all happened, the majority of the guild who attended the party were teleported and captured under a magic circle. We ended up in this nasty location after traveling through the space dimension. In the blink of an eye, we ended up with our hands and feet tied up with a rope. People were roped together in groups of two, which wasn't a pleasant feeling.

The gunner answered with an expressionless face, "I am not answering that question. You should be the one answering questions."

I then took moments and looked around the cell. It was probably never cleaned for years. Spider webs decorated corners, and the floor had a hay-carpet spread, thankfully. The strong, sturdy wood that prisoned us in the section underground kept a border between us and Time. The ceiling was made out of dirt, but somehow it kept itself from falling on us. Phew, that is some professional ground…with our guild orbs hanging from it. Wow Time, wow.

"What do you mean?" Rose, who was tied with Oreo interrogated while my eyes were still wandering. She looked pretty uncomfortable; after all we got summoned in this not-so-clean area in our clothes worn to the ball.

"I don't remember who I am, nor what I was doing before I lost everything I remembered," the league mate replied as his hood shaded his face,"Am I called Time? Do you guys know me?"

What?! Time was involved in this memory-betting game too?! That's mean. He had to go through a surgery that day! Are you council members crazy?!

-FLASHBACK-

"Dammit…I want an orange ribbon…" Time mumbled as he spaced off.

"You can have mines if you want,"I told my zoned league member, "I'll have to think about it though."

My orange ribbon was with me for as long as I remember. I don't think my brain can figure out whom and when I got this head wear from, so I never dared to sell it; it seemed like a memento from someone precious to me. However, it also felt useless, since I had zero interest in fashion due to horrible accidents.

"Really?!" he spoke as he snapped out of his day dreaming position. With a smile on his face and grinning, the pig tailed male yelled out, "Yes!"

After a couple of seconds, I spoke," Alright! It's decided! I'll give it to you on December 25, as a reward for surviving your operation!"

"Well then, I'll do my best to claim that ribbon mines!"

I smiled back. Who cares about an old ribbon? I'm sure the person who gave it to me was nice, so they wouldn't mind me giving it away as a holiday present. To me, gifting was way better than selling it.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Biting my lower lip, I answered his question,"We all do. Time, you swore that you would survive your surgery, and I swore would give you an items I owned on the promised day. So, do you remember-"

"I told you! I don't! I can't…" the lad cut himself as he ran away somewhere. Sadly, the guy talked to us without opening anything, so he didn't leave any entrances for us to escape.

Now here are some descriptions. The union leader was tied with Hei, or Yhne. Rose was roped with Oreo. Romantically, Shigeo and Koyu were together. I was with Hanna, my sister. Yes! Family love for the win!

"So, how did I end up with Ugly on my back?" Rose complained with an evil intention in her eyes. For sure, she was trying to annoy the person she was back-to-back with.

"I don't know. And stop calling me Ugly!" Orzel complained.

"Bleh,"Rose stuck a tongue at him as she looked behind her shoulder, "Like I would."

Irritated, the pink haired vice argued with the comment he just heard. Wait, where was our weapons? Did they ninja away, or did they get left behind? Oh Archer, I feel bad for them now. They must be isolated somewhere…

"Sis, let's get a rock or something, cut the rope, and ninja out!" Hanna whispered. This was why my sister was awesome; she knew how to get out and get in, just like a ninja.

"The floor doesn't have anything," a boy that twinned my sister (in a way that I knew they weren't blood related) told us. Okay, this guy is a butt. Why was he stuck with a wooden pillar on the wall in the first place anyway?!

"Be quiet, Ace!" my sister ordered with a slight blush on her face, "I'll strip your clothes off if you don't!"

Awe, what a cute argument! Why couldn't I be tied to a pillar so I can fart with no one noticing? Oh well…at least we all had our guild orbs for sure, if not we'd be in chaos right now. But even in this critical condition, I'm bored!

"Hey~ is anyone there?!" I shouted out to the still, wooden prisoner sticks, "I'm getting bored!"

Unfortunately, no one answered.

"Open Sesame!" Mina voiced strongly from behind me.

There was a reaction this time; the cell bars flew open, and my prisoner string broke. Aw yes, best like-a-boss success I've ever seen. Why didn't I think of that in the first place?!

"Yep, we're in my country now. No wonder this area looked familiar," Yhne mentioned as his rope dangled on one hand. The other part of his arm was connected with Mina's right side. Coughing once, he continued," Welcome to the Emerald Kingdom in Preios. These are my palace cells…what in the world happened?! People from other worlds shouldn't have been able to enter!"

"It's been invaded, that's my guess,"Orzel guessed with an irritated face and tone. Everyone could see why he had that emote on his face; the female Maestro vice was sitting on his back, with one hand loose and the other hand still tied. I feel sad for that guy now…

The leader Kaila Mina laughed at the sight, making James turn into a tomato by her smile. Okay, so we were in another world with an invaded castle…and the one-hand rope problems. Sadly, this peaceful moment got ruined by another magic circle appearing beneath us. Oh please not this again! I've had enough of transportation for today!

After going through a short three second travel, I found myself alone in an empty throne room. It was huge, with a wide but fluffy red carpet speared on the floor. The windows were on the opposite side of the four fancy chairs, and stood tall next to the door, which most likely led you to the hallway. On the walls next to the entrance, several portraits with gold and fancy frames hung themselves. One of them entitled itself "Shikisaix".

It was the largest portrait in the room, with an illustration of a lady's face that held sky blue eyes. Her head's mane was somewhere between light purple and light pink in color. It was curly, twisted, and fuzzy-looking in shape, and short, too. A Highlander weapon was painted on the frame, next to her name.

"Where is everyone?" I asked to myself aloud, my voice echoing in the vast location I was in. Longing for a comfortable place to sit on, my feet walked itself to the thrones. Letters were also printed on there. The soft parts of the seats were blue-green on color. The hard part of the furnitures' material was made out of emeralds, for sure.

And most comfortable looking seat held signs that formed the word "Odd King". The throne that I ranked second best was right next to the first place. It didn't hold a name. Well it did but it was crossed out, making it unreadable in literature but making it noticeable that it was done on purpose. The two other royal belongings were practically the same to me. The only difference I can make out was that the names were different. The comfortable and expensive item left of the scratched-out seat held the name "Fenek". The one next to the best chair belonged to Yhne. This was Hei's…oh sweet! I can hide this somewhere and make him rage!

"Hey, don't touch that!" a female voice spoke in command behind me. Why was this sound of mouth so familiar yet unrecognizable?...

Hope you enjoyed! :3
