I Don't Need a Man
I wove my magic through he room, searching for an opening in the spell. I soon found what I was looking for - a grain of stone spelled with a sealing enchantment. Only one with a certain substance in their blood could open the door. Unfortunately, I didn't know what that was.
I soon began to wonder how the hell I would get out. The only way would be to have a small drop of Sodalite's blood. I looked around the room, searching for a place she might have cut herself on. Presently I noticed that she had cut herself on my dagger. Perfect bloody luck.
I took the blood through the threads of my skirt, into one single loose string. I cut it off, then held it up to the spelled rock. It began to melt away, according to plan.. I stepped through and entered an antechamber.
It was very quiet as I made my way through the maze of chambers. I once again threaded my magic through the walls, searching for the clear exit. I soon fond it was about 1000 yards from my location.
Suddenly, a man stepped clear out of the wall. I grabbed him and held my dagger protectively. I soon realized he wasn't moving, and let go. Clearly asleep or drugged, he slumped to the floor as I stared in shock.
It was Endymion! At least I knew where he's been this whole time. I grabbed him and hoisted him over my shoulder, and headed out. Nobody even dared to stop me. As soon as I got outside, I wished I'd brought something a little thinner. It was blazing hot, and spontaneous fires seemed to endlessly burn the terrain. I didn't want to wait to find out where I was. I whistled sharply, and my ride soon came. It was Aurora, my flying unicorn. Even in the most remote places, she could find me.
I hoisted Endymion onto her back, then mounted myself. Aurora flew, finally breaking the surface of that inferno of a planet. However, when we got into space, I could see that it was actually our sun - the area in which I had been held was a deep brown against the fiery surface.
A few hours after takeoff, Endymion began to stir. I turned around and held him upright before he could fall off. "Endymion?" I whispered.
"Huh?" he asked groggily. I chuckled again. "Go back to sleep."
