Chapter 21 already...time passes by too quickly...way too quickly...I just wish I can go back...I wish there was a reverse button for life. Sadly there isn't. Only the play button and the stop button which you can only press once. Pretty suckish right? There's so much I wish I could have done in the past and now regret not doing. I thought that I had forever to do it...but no...I didn't...now I'll never know…

Yurick walks back and forth in Castle Gate Plaza, staring up at at the Arganan Castle. The birds eating seeds off the ground flew away as Yurick neared them as if they were trying to flee Yurick's fiery anger. He was deep in thought, determination in his eyes as he plans out what to do.
Over the past few days, Yurick and Daxryon had been observing the count's daily routine, hoping to find a time period where they could search Count Arganan's room. They had found out that the count rarely left his room other than to eat and for a quick fifteen minute walk in the mornings.
"Now how do we get past those guards that always stand in front of Count Arganan's room…" Yurick mumbles.
Daxryon, who was sitting down on a bench by Yurick, shrugs. "You got me there.
"Maybe..." Yurick grins evilly as a plan forms in his mind. "Yes...that would work."
Daxryon sweatdrops as Yurick whispers the plan to him. "Y...you're kidding me right? There is no way that is going to work."
Yurick glances at Daxryon. "Well...do you have any better ideas?"
"Well...err….ummm….no…not really" Daxryon stammers, trying to think of any other ideas on the spot. Yurick tilts his head and smirks, knowing that he has won.
A few moments later, the two of them were hiding behind a wall as they watch the count's room door carefully. It was still fairly early and the hallways were empty except for the guards in front of the count's chamber.
"You're not serious about that idea...right?" Daxryon asks hopefully. The look in Yurick's eye already answered the question. Groaning, Daxryon continues watching the door.
They didn't have to wait long. A few minutes later, Count Arganan steps out of his room and heads to the courtyard for a walk.
Yurick watches the knights carefully. "Ready, Daxryon?"
Daxryon sighs. "I will never be ready but go ahead."
Quietly, Yurick sent a small fireball shooting towards one of the guards. The tiny flame caught against the guard's pants, soon becoming a hungry fire eating away the clothing. The guard screams running off to get some water to put the fire out. The other guard, surprised by the sudden fire and panic, chases after the fire, leaving the door unguarded.
Yurick grins. "I told you it would work."
Daxryon lets out a small chuckle. "Well...the craziest ideas always seem to work. Even when I decided to toss a bucket at Therius's head when you two tried to jump off the boat. It surprisingly worked…"
Yurick blinks. "It was you that threw that bucket."
Daxryon smiles sheepishly. "Yeah...I'm sorry about that. Now, I wish I hadn't thrown the bucket…"
"No." Yurick smiles. "If you hadn't, we would have jumped and then drowned...I'm kinda glad you threw it…"
"Glad to hear...now let's get moving before Count Arganan returns." Daxryon says glancing towards the door.
Nodding, Yurick quietly sneaks up to the door and opens it. They enter and quickly take a look around the room.
"Let's search his desk first." Yurick whispers.
Nodding, Daxryon opens one of the drawers to find a bunch of papers overflowing it. "We're never going to be able to search through all this…"
Suddenly, Daxryon notices some movement out of the corner of his eye. Without warning, a figure launches himself from the shadows of the room towards the unsuspecting Yurick. Yurick, who was busy rummaging through the piles of paper, didn't notice the figure until Daxryon shoves him out of the way of the attacking figure.
Gasping, Yurick lands roughly on his arm. "What the…?!" He turns to find Daxryon standing over him with a sword plunged deep into his chest. A crimson red butterfly forms on his shirt, dripping down to make the crimson rose the butterfly is to land on. Daxryon's eyes were wide open in shock, staring down at his own chest as if he couldn't believe the blood pouring from the wound.
Daxryon's eyes flicker over towards Yurick. "Go...and save Therius…" he manages to choke out.
The figure covered in a black cloak grips the sword tightly in his hands. His face was shadowed, preventing them from seeing the person clearly. However, both of them already could guess that this was the loyal informer to Count Arganan.
With a quick yank, the informer pulls the sword out of Daxryon. Blood gushes out from the fatal wound, crimson rain splattering all over the rose. The drenched butterfly falls, along with Daxryon, onto the rose, no longer moving. The blood red rain continues to flow until both the flower and the butterfly are no longer seeable, obscured by the rain.
Yurick could only stare, not knowing what to do for a few moments. Then his eye shifts to cloaked figure. "You...you are the informer."
The informer doesn't say anything but instead gives a short nod of confirmation.
"And...and...you…" Yurick whispers staring down at Daxryon. "You killed him...my friend…" WIthout warning, Yurick lunges at the informer, pulling out his dagger in the process. "I'm not letting you get away with this!"
The informer hadn't been expecting this sudden burst of anger from Yurick. Yurick successfully knocks the hood off the informer but his dagger misses its mark as it plunges deep into the wall. He turns to face the informer yet again only to freeze in surprise.
Long blonde hair spilled out of the hood and a young feminine face of a teenager stares back at him.
The informer scowls. "What? You weren't expecting a little girl like me?" She smirks. "Well...people underestimate me because of that and they lose. Nobody expects the little girl to do it. That's why I am such a useful loyal subject to Count Arganan."
Yurick takes a quick look at the girl. What she lacked in strength, she made up in speed. Her eyes were cold and merciless, lips tight and smirking. He better not underestimate her like all the others that have probably fallen to her…
Holding his dagger out in front of him, Yurick glares at the informer. "You killed my friend...and I'm not letting you get away."
She laughs wiping the blood off her sword. "I'll like to see you try…"
Both their eyes filled with determination, they lunge at each other…
(Therius)
Therius leans against the cold stone wall, knees drawn up to his chest. Sighing in loneliness and despair, he glances around the cell, looking for some way out. It was hopeless...there couldn't possibly be any way out...right?
He leans his head back against the wall and suddenly feels the rough stone move behind his head. Turning around, Therius realizes that he had just possibly found a way out. Glancing around the dungeons, he makes sure that no guards were watching him as he pushes the rock further in. When the boring grey rock finally comes to a stop by something Therius couldn't see, the stone rocks next to where he was standing falls down, creating a hole...and an escape.
Looking up, he makes sure the guards hadn't seen this and jumps into the hole.
A/N: Ooops...O_o..hadn't meant to kill Daxryon (i'm so sorry, Daxryon...T^T…I didn't plan this at all)...well...at least Therius escaped...XD
Please review if you wanna kill the informer for killing Daxryon and telling the count about Therius and Yurick's love...XD
