Meanwhile, in Krayon's room, after his return...
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S BEEN GONE TWO DAYS!" Krayon screams, his face turning almost purple with rage. "Well, you told us to leave her alone, so we did, and then when she disappeared, we didn't know how to reach you, so we just looked for her. We searched the whole household and grounds, but she wasn't anywhere." says the servant, trembling with fear. "Well start tracing her magically then, you twit! We found the necklace I'd given her broken in my room, so we know where she was when she was taken FROM, let's figure out where she was taken TO!" Krayon yells, then, seeing the servant frozen by fear, he orders, "GO! START NOW!"
The servants leave quickly, almost running from him. Krayon turns back to his desk where a broken necklace lays. He gently cradles the damaged jewelry in his hands, a single tear falling onto the emerald pendant, splashing over the delicate shining silver of the chain attached to the pendant.
Closing his right hand over his love's necklace, he pulls a pocket watch out of an inside pocket of his jacket with his left hand, opening the watch. He holds his right hand over its open face, the hands of the beautiful watch ticking rhythmically as he gently allows the necklace to curl onto the glass protecting the twelve roman numerals. The pendant is the last thing to be placed upon the pile of delicate silver chain, a single glistening tear still visible on it as he clicks the watch closed, placing it securely back into the pocket it had come from, as he kneels on one knee, examining the cream colored carpeting for any hints as to her whereabouts.
"There's absolutely nothing to find..." he says, to himself, pondering who could have accomplished a kidnapping like this. "I'm just going to have to search every powerful Demon Lord's residence." He says mournfully but resolutely.
He leaves the servants to their search, saying a simple "Go." and reappearing in a study of some sort, bookshelves lining one entire wall. He scans the books' spines, stopping once he finds the book he's looking for. He pulls it off the shelf, the large tome's weight making his arms strain slightly to support it as the shelf relinquishes the book to him. "I leave for few days and what happens?" Krayon asks exasperatedly, of no one in particular, as the room was empty save for himself. He opens the aged cover gently, a magical aura surrounding it as he turns the yellowed pages of 'The Book of Demons". He chuckles slightly at the dorky name of the book, but yet, it was useful, basically a telephone book, but a self-updating one. He delicately presses his finger to the first page, a Demon Lord's face imprinted magically in the paper, the information stored beneath it. He sighs and begins his search, his long, long, long search of all the more powerful Demon Lords' castles to find his beloved.
Author's note: Okay, so I'm sorry for the short chapters, but I have always hated suspense when I'm reading something, but I always have found that suspense is not without reason. If you have disliked my short chapters thus far, wait until you read chapter seven. --hides Chapter 7 from all, because its length can be counted in... sentences--
