Sorry I've had a tricky part on writing this one out, trying to piece old plot points and trying to not do plot holes, the letter will come into play later in this book so don't worry about that -^-

Mylene was strapped down in a chair dazed on what ever the put her on, she could then hear a door opening and close calmly pace of foot steps, had made their way towards Mylene she then looks up to see who it was, seeing that it was Cullen she stared into his eyes as they weren't yellow anymore, it was now more of a purple color with a hint of blue in them cold and emotionless.
"What never seen a girl up close before?" Mylene says smirking smuggle at Cullen, before she could say anything more black vines had rapped around her neck, drawing small amounts of blood when doing so Mylene glares at Cullen seeing what he was trying to do, "you think this will work on me?" Mylene gave a smile towards Cullen, not really caring what he was going to do the thought of her giving away info, would be like giving away her friends life she knows Cullen isn't a generous man.
"I have to say your quite annoying when trying to be especially when I kidnap you..., you know Ethel was ready to kill you and find another way to find the Herviana?" Cullen waved his hands over his towards the ground, forming a chair to appear from smoke Mylene watched as Cullen sits down, "Ethel should know where they are?, what about Volance?, wasn't all this to make Alexzander in giving you the gem?"
"A painful affect on bringing someone back, some memories stay while others leave its like saying that the rotten parts of his brain, was taken the secrets away he only knows few things in life and so the only other Herviana I know is you~" Cullen smiles seeing that Mylene wasn't to happy about this, "like I'll tell you!, I'm not that stupid in telling you where they live!, because I really have no idea where they are..."
"What?"
"I really have no idea..., I was a baby at the time and when I hit age 17 my dad came back to help, after that bailed again after saving me from Ethel, so much for parental love?" Mylene says as she puff out her cheeks in frustration, "hmm... I see did he ever tell you where he was going?,"
"Even if I know it's not like I'm going giving you his location?, he said something about a Ceasg even tho their extinct then he just up and bailed," Mylene starts to think for a bit "you know you were a swell guy, up beat, cheery, and strange in a way, seeing you know I wonder where it all went, probably murder crazy fun time is lot more classy, for a man that's trying to bringing back a dead King?" Cullen then slams his hands down on the arms of the chair, "he was a far more better King compare to those that think they were ones!, putting on the crown like their ones that made Valisia to what it is!, their nothing but lies like those other royals around them talking about helping their people!, bah!"
"The people are always in need of help?, just because their trying doesn't mean they're not deserving?" Mylene was trying to make the situation a lot more reasonable, but Cullen was starting to be unstable "like you would know?, always following Alexzander just because you're friends?, and what will that get you a mindless lackey no voicing on your end?" Cullen glares at Mylene, "I do voice my opinions!, I know that Alexzander would listen even if it's a stupid idea, and that's what I like about him he does things literally an that what makes him unique!" Mylene determination was strong, the black vines around her neck start to tighten when she pulled, "and someone that blindly does things without a second thought, is someone that wants to be glorified just because they knew that person!"
Cullen slammed the door open in anger leaving Mylene all alone in the room, as he marching away through the wide open hallway walking pass a wall of windows, his image reflected from the windows glass started to change, it had more of a demon like image with Cullen's mind swirling, many images start to form in his brain before stopping at one it was the first King.
King Kritis...
Before he knew it he was pulled into the flowery field where he attacked Elena, Cullen turns around to see a dark figure staring up at the blue sky, "what is it?, I've been trying hard as I can..., is there something else that I'm missing?" Cullen watched as the dark figure point towards the field, a faint glow could be seen as many kinds of flowers, they formed around on what ever was there Cullen started to walks towards it stopping he finally could see who it was.
"Queen Victoria..."

Alexzander and Elena had came to an agreement that their emotional liking to each other, will be open but Alexzander wanted to keep it simple implying that he wants to take it slow, explaining that Kyra and him kind of went to fast figuring that was the reason why, their relationship didn't last long Elena understood what Alexzander was saying as she to wanted things slow, as she wanted to tell her family before they decided on the next level of things. Timothée was listening to this an asked what they meant by that, Elena explains that they won't be physical with each other right now;
"Isn't that the main reason of a relationship?" Timothée asked.
"Well yes and no mentally we know we like each other, but with all this going on it's best to keep all the loving to a minimum," Elena says smiling up at Alexzander "saving Mylene comes first, after that we will tell our families after all they need more of explanation anyways," Elena looks to Alexzander as he placed a hand on her upper back, so he could lean in and tell the last part quietly "especially after how I left it..."
Alexzander leans back up in time when LIarm was coming over, seeing that LIarm had the face of confusion Alexzander could tell it was about something important.
"Have any of you guys heard anything from Mia?" LIarm asked as he comes to the small group, "no did you ask Gabe and Foloki they we're talking to her last?" LIarm shakes his head no, "I can't even fined Conner ether and I just talked to him to before coming over here?" LIarm looks to Alexzander, seeing what LIarm was implying Alexzander nods and turns to Elena, "let's go look for them then, cause I really don't like the looks of this at all" Alexzander looks to Elena telling her he'll go with LIarm, Elena and Timothée both decided that they should talk with the villagers to see if they had any idea where their group could be.
After looking around to even find someone from the town, Elena could tell their not here ether seeing this was strange as well, "did anyone tell you anything before they left?" Elena looks to Timothée who shrugged, "nothing all I got was that they said the monster will come back repetitively, like they weren't aware of their surroundings?"
Elena could tell that's this wasn't right at all, taking Timothée by the hand she raced to go find Alexzander and LIarm, as she runs down a hallway Elena came to a full stop, when she saw some musketeers with quick thinking Elena walks back slowly an kneeled down near a wall, she then could hear someone talking it was Louis he had caught all the boys.
All tied together while Mia was strapped to a pillar trying to brake free get free, Elena watched as Louis was acting smug when he walked towards them, "well I have to say rumors do travel fast don't they Alexzander?" Louis smiles while moving to the side, revealing Volance the Viking man grind as he watched the pathetic scene unfold, "do you really think Canesseians would work with you Alexzander?" Volance says as he points a finger at Alexzander while holding out his other hand, "Mia on the other hand does have dreams of fairness but their just dreams after all, deserving for someone that doesn't see the reality of life like I do, Louis over heard you guys talking about giving me away to Cullen, and well he wants in" Volance watched as they struggled to get free, "Louis!, why?, your the leader of the musketeers your suppose to honor the code!?" Mia pulls at her strains.
"I am honoring the code!, keeping those that follows the footsteps of helping the magic and mythical creatures at bay!" Louis yells pointing a finger to Mia, "if Cullen is the one that can see what I can do then by all means, but I will not have anyone else try and stop for what it truly meant to be, Canesse is a place of honor without magic no less!" Louis waves his hands to the musketeers, with torches in hand they being to set the church on fire, "and one more thing Alexzander Ethel and the monster was never a threat, it was an excuse to get you here don't think that your the only one that can trick someone into believing talk tales like Timothée, I'll tell him personally as a thank you on leading you here to me," Louis salutes at them mockingly before leaving them to burn.
"Gah!, I knew I should never have trusted Louis all this time!" Mia pulls at her ropes, "when I'm free I swear I'll show him what a true Musketeer is!"
"Gabe!, lean back and maybe you can slide out of the ropes, we'll lean forward so you can have enuff room to do it!" Conner yells they were just about to do it Elena's voice could be heard.
"Need any help boys?" Elena says as she stands near the ride up group, "How wonderful that we are to see you care to help us?" LIarm says as he looks to the raging fire, as it started to reach for the ceiling seeing that the musketeers had given it full to feed, Elena agrees as she grabs a broken metal piece Elena helps them get free while Timothée raced to help Mia, with everyone now set free they all raced to the main entrance of the church seeing that none of the Villagers, "where did everyone go!?" Conner yells over the roaring fire, "I don't think they were even here to begin with quickly the main door is wide open!, hurry before we get trapped inside!" Foloki yells while pulling everyone out.
Taking a large leap out the main door the ceiling of the church falls in, clasping just when everyone was finally outside, everyone watched as the church burned to the ground, "seriously this is getting crazier by the second?" Gabe says as he looked around, seeing that the town was never real to begin with as they stood in a densely forest.

"Did the plan work?"
"DiD tHe PlaN WoRk, yes it worked I'm the witch of the Forest I always have it work in my favor~" the elder woman says this as she smiles at her crystal ball moving her hands around it, as it glows in the dark room the old woman started to laugh evilly.
"Grandma!, the bath is ready!" The voice of this person opens the door to the dark room, the older woman looked at her granddaughter along side the older woman's client, the two looked at the young girl that was standing there, "what's this about grandma?, and who's this ugly guy?"
"Excuse me the names Youlen!" Youlen shoots back at this teenager, "well Youlen are your done getting your mind read?, or are you some loner that hangs out with old people?" The girl says as she points between the two, Youlen mumbles before pulling to his pockets handing money over to the older woman, "Cullen is getting everyone together and wants you there by 8 o'clock...,"
"Ooo...can't I'm doing bingo night at that time, how about 4 o'clock I'm going to shopping around that time, would you like me to get you guys anything while I'm out?" The older woman smiles while taking the money, "uhhh...no?"
"Good cause I don't waste my time with low living creatures like you!" The older woman shoots powerful magic at Youlen, making him disappear into thin air her teenager granddaughter sighs in irritation, "you need to stop that we won't have any more costumers if you keep doing that!"
"Oh hush dear I it's best to keep my image together for them, that's how I became the mysterious Witch of the Forest~" the older woman walks towards the mirror that was place on the wall, the older woman yanked her robes off to reveal a slender older woman that had a elegant face to look at, "Witch of the Forest is back in business baby!, an dear we're going to eat like kings once again!"
"Right...well I'm going to read my book while you fantasize about your good old days, like you original do when having to help some evil people..." the teen holds up her book and starts to walk away.
"Teens these days, never seen a opportunity when they see it, your brother was a lot more helpful when he was around!" Witch of the Forest yells this to her granddaughter, the older woman cracks her fingers to get ready to start her out her plan into action, "let's see if little miss princess likes it when I take her man away~"
"Grandma your bath is getting cold!"
The older woman grumbles in irritation before getting up to take the bath.
