Before Majic could blink, let alone wake up he was on his feet and being dragged out of the clearing. Rubbing away sleep and yawning, Majic soon found Orphen turning towards him with horror in his eyes. Instantly he was awake.
"What's wrong Master?" he asked shocked.
Orphen closed his eyes and took a few steadying breaths.
"I-I saw… Hartia kissing Flameheart" he whispered lowering his eyes.
Majic felt the hair on the back of his neck bristle,
"Oh fang" he whispered pulling Orphen into a hug "How?" he asked hoping it was only a dream that his Master had believed was real.
"I saw it in the jewel" Orphen choked out "He hates me, he must have run to Flameheart after I yelled at him"
"No" said Majic, not believing Orphen's words "From what you've told me about Hartia, I know he would never do that to you" Majic spoke the truth, Hartia was described as a loyal companion.
"B-But" stuttered Orphen "I've never treated him kindly… maybe Flameheart offered that to him"
"Flameheart?" Majic asked disbelievingly "That guy's a bastard" Majic insisted.
"B-But why, why would Hartia be…" Orphen's question faded as tears began to form behind the sorcerer's eyes; Orphen looked to Majic for answers but knew Majic didn't have any.
"I don't know Master…," whispered Majic patting Orphen on the back, "Don't worry I'm sure there's an explanation".
.
Hartia smiled weakly as he showed Flameheart his last attempt at protecting himself, Flameheart gasped and rolled away from Hartia clutching his groin, wincing. Hartia rolled onto his side and vomited up an alarming amount of blood, the last couple of blows had done a lot of damage.
Flameheart stumbled to his feet and glared at Hartia, before a smile appeared across his features,
"Bad Kitty" he said, instantly those words had an effect, Hartia knew he was going to get hurt once again, backing away from Flameheart, Hartia found his corner and pressed himself against it.
Flameheart lifted up his hand, palm towards the ceiling, a small crackling sound could be heard as a ball of dark magic began to form in Flameheart's hand,
"Very… very bad Kitty" said Flameheart smirking before he threw the ball if magic at Hartia.
Hartia's scream was cut off by the magic; it encircled his neck sending charges of powerful electricity through his body. Hartia screamed and clawed at the collar, he struggled against the pain and his back arched unnaturally.
Chuckling cruelly Flameheart stopped the pain with a wave of his hand; panting Hartia stared up at Flameheart in absolute fear, his eyes almost begging for Flameheart to spare him.
"Now listen to me Kitty," said Flameheart "You're going to do everything I tell you… got that?" he snapped threatening to start the pain once again.
Hartia didn't dare make a sound he just stared up at Flameheart, mentally he screamed at himself to get up and kill Flameheart for the pain the blonde sorcerer was causing him.
"Good" whispered Flameheart, knowing Hartia wouldn't dare disobey him. "Get up" he said pointing to the pink-plush bed.
Hartia dragged his aching body towards the bed, sweat formed on Hartia's forehead from the effort, blood flecked his lips. Climbing onto the bed Hartia found his eyes blurred and felt his body collapse in exhaustion.
Flameheart grinned before climbing onto the bed,
"Now sleep Kitty," he said waving his hand over Hartia's head, Hartia felt his eyes grow heavy and his body shut down. But at the same time he protested knowing he was clearly in danger. But Hartia was too far-gone and soon gave into the darkness.
.
Orphen had become very quiet for the next couple of days; his eyes showed he was hurt by what he saw in the jewel. He didn't dare look in it again fearing he would see that what he saw was true.
Majic constantly comforted Orphen trying to help his master in any way he could but it seemed like a lost cause. At times Majic swore that he would hurt Hartia for doing this to his master, yet at others he wondered what would drive Hartia into Flameheart's arms.
Cleao seemed oblivious to Orphen's sudden change in mood; she skipped along as usual making sure Volkan didn't treat Dortin too badly.
"Now stop it!" she snapped as Volkan threw the bowl at Dortin who dodged it.
"Dortin you know that I, Volkan, never have my soup too hot" snapped Volkan trying to get to Dortin who had been picked up by Cleao.
Cleao glared at Volkan.
"He didn't mean it, you pain!" she snapped kicking Volkan away.
Volkan tumbled away and got his head caught in a log, Dortin's eyes widened,
"Big Brother!" he gasped jumping out of Cleao's grip.
Pulling Volkan out of the log only resulted in Volkan hitting Dortin in the face.
"You idiot!" Volkan snapped "Get out of my sight!" he yelled already in a foul mood.
Dortin felt his shoulders slump,
"B-But Big Brother" Dortin stuttered.
"I said out of my SIGHT!" yelled Volkan angrily.
Dortin yelped in fear and ran away from Volkan only to be swept up into a hug from Cleao,
"Shhh, don't listen to nasty old Volkan" she shushed patting Dortin on the back.
This time Dortin didn't try and pull away, instead he began to sniffle hurt by Volkan's harsh words.
Majic watched this in shock, never before had Volkan brought Dortin down like that; it took a lot to make Dortin cry.
"Volkan!" he snapped "Dortin's you're little brother! You could at least treat him with some respect"
"Feh" was all Volkan said turning away from the group.
Orphen sighed, Volkan had been especially nasty at Dortin lately and Orphen's mood was not only foul because of it but it was waning quickly.
"Shut it Volkan" he said over his shoulder.
"Hey! You cannot say that to me!" yelled Volkan jumping to his feet "Right Dortin?" he said looking in Dortin's direction.
But Dortin wasn't listening; he was too busy sitting by the fire with Cleao with marshmallows. Volkan growled and stomped away to sulk.
"Master?" asked Majic sitting next to Orphen.
Orphen smiled at Majic,
"Yeah" he said trying to sound at least a little bit happier than he was.
"Are you OK?" Majic asked handing Orphen a bowl of soup.
Orphen took the soup, and blew on it before tasting some,
"Mmm, this is nice Dortin," he said having some more "Where'd you learn?" he asked
Dortin smiled and nodded his head at the compliment.
"Mum" he said eating a marshmallow "Before she died she taught me how to cook, she said someone else needed to learn in the house" Cleao looked sadly down on Dortin, before hugging him harder, which only seemed to scare him.
"Master" said Majic in a warning voice, knowing clearly the sorcerer was trying to avoid the question.
"I'm fine… I- just…" Orphen said before sighing angrily "I just want to be alone" he said standing.
Cleao watched Orphen walk away,
"What's stuck up his ass?" she asked
"I don't know…" Majic lied following his master.
Orphen was leaning against a tree, running his fingers over the jewel.
"You know… I was afraid he'd do this," said Orphen when Majic got close enough.
Majic sat down next to Orphen, prompting him to go on.
"That day… when I told him he only cared for his students, I could see in his eyes that he thought I truly thought that… I wanted to apologize but he ran off… I felt so bad"
"Master… maybe what you saw might not be the whole truth" said Majic seriously. After serious thought Majic couldn't believe the redhead would do such a thing.
"I know what I saw," snapped Orphen glaring at Majic.
Majic sighed, not swayed by his master's mood.
"Please master… just look again," he suggested.
Orphen looked down at the stone,
"But… I can't take it if… if its true" said Orphen quietly.
"Come on Master… surely you have enough faith in Hartia" said Majic knowing something wasn't right.
"I-I can't" said Orphen placing the stone in Majic's hand before stalking away.
