Chapter Six.
Ouch…


Two months later...

Pain coursed through Hartia as he was dragged towards the door, the searing pain of the collar had awaked him abruptly. Flameheart smirked at Hartia's weakened state,
"Move it," he said opening the door.

Hartia crawled quickly through the door despite his screaming muscles. With a wave of Flamehearts hand and a mumbled spell Hartia's old rags changed into black robes.
"Come on… we have to give a visit to an old friend of ours," said Flameheart chuckling.

Walking into a dome shaped room, Hartia felt recognition tug at the back of his mind, but ed-head had no time for these thoughts as Flameheart called him to the center of the room.
"Take me away," said Flameheart, then Hartia felt himself rush forward when he didn't move himself, it was shock but at the same time he recognized the feeling.

Suddenly panic enveloped Hartia; he couldn't remember things that he knew he should, when he found his feet once more Hartia looked around wondering if he should know this place.

Sniffing the air Hartia froze, something smelled familiar, like rain and surplus magic, he wanted to run ahead but he knew Master wouldn't like that.
"Come along Kitty" said Flameheart moving in the direction of the scent.

Hartia was confused; everything seemed blurred and memories were faded, some still existed. One of a man yelling at him that wasn't Master, Krylancelo, was the name he found in thought. Confused again Hartia stopped moving; Flameheart noticed this and stopped almost sensing the confusion.
"Come Kitty," he said more sternly.

The tone of his voice alerted Hartia to move faster, and then Hartia remembered Flameheart, the man hitting him, yelling at him, had Hartia been bad? Hartia couldn't remember, he felt as if his mind had released the memories in an attempt to release the pain. But what from…? Hartia didn't know… From the way his Master had beat him in the draining memories; he must have been causing trouble.

Padding after Flameheart, Hartia's mind pulled up other images, comics, dragons, a wolven pup, and… Hartia shook his head, no, that couldn't be real, and Master would have told him off if he stood like that. A beast would never be able to stand upright anyway.

This was confusing for Hartia, everything was crushed like a fine powder but Hartia couldn't grab onto every grand. Suddenly a voice rose over the sounds of the forest, Hartia froze.
"Majic! Just leave it! He's not coming back and I should just get over it," snapped a voice Hartia remembered.

Forgetting his master for a second Hartia rushed forward only to be caught by the collars dark power,
"No Kitty" hissed Flameheart. Pulling Hartia back a few feet, Flameheart then held out his hands towards the trees, "Light" he said. A bright light flashed though the trees knocking several down "That should get his attention" said Flameheart smirking.

Quickly following the blast, Orphen skidded to the scene.
"Flameheart" hissed the renegade sorcerer. The hate in Orphen's eyes quickly dissipated when his eyes landed on Hartia.

Hartia was down on all fours, thin and looked quite banged up. When Orphen went to call Hartia Flameheart cut him off,
"Kitty! Get here" yelled Flameheart, instantly Hartia lowered his head like a frightened animal as he scurried to Flameheart's side.

"Hartia?" asked Orphen looking at Hartia who shot him unsure glances but didn't speak. "What have you done to him?" yelled Orphen feeling anger build inside him.

"Oh nothing" said Flameheart "Months of beatings can erase anyone's morals… isn't that right Kitty… see that man?" he asked leaning down and pointing at Orphen "He's a bad man" said Flameheart in a mocking tone.

Hartia looked over at Orphen and cocked his head to one side; Orphen tried his name,
"Hartia" he called "Come here"

Instantly Hartia went to leave Flameheart's side but the blonde had other ideas, Flameheart flicked his hand swiftly; the large electric blue bolts automatically surged through Hartia's body.
"Stop!" yelled Orphen watching Hartia collapse in pain.

"You know that collar was a gift for him," said Flameheart smirking "It was getting too hard to beat him constantly… where as with this thing" said Flameheart tweaking his hand causing more sparks "I don't have to do a thing"

"You bastard" spat Orphen glaring at Flameheart "What did he ever do to you?"

"Nothing… except help you" said Flameheart almost growling, "Because of him I had to regain the Elders' trust"

Orphen growled also but watched as Hartia got onto all fours again, he seemed to be growling himself, glaring at Flameheart with all his worth.
"Hartia!" called Orphen kneeling down holding his hands out as an invitation. "Come here!" he called; he just needed to get Hartia away from Flameheart.

Hartia hesitated before trying to move forward,
"Kitty" growled Flameheart.

Instantly Hartia lowered himself to ground level to show he was a good Kitty, but yet again for some strange reason Hartia's mind longed for Orphen's touch. Suddenly he opened his mouth, his voice croaky.
"K-Krylancelo" he got out.

At that point three things happened, Majic and Cleao made an appearance, Flameheart's face paled, and Orphen's expression brightened.
"Yes, yes! Come here" called Orphen "Quickly" he prompted.

This time Hartia didn't hesitate to go towards Orphen, this time making it a few steps before the screams ripped through his throat. Hartia visibly faltered as he tried to keep moving, the blue sparks began to turn crimson, as Hartia kept moving.
"No! Kitty, get your ass here," roared Flameheart glaring dangerously at the redhead.

Majic looked down at the redheaded man in shock and felt a sense of recognition,
"Shrimp-man" he whispered letting his green eyes widen.

Hartia's pained eyes shot frightened looks over his shoulder, then towards Orphen whose eyes seemed to beg him to come further. Hartia kept moving. He felt as if in those arms Orphen could protect him.

After a few uneasy steps Cleao gasped as she saw Flameheart began to increase the power behind the shocks, red sparks turned to black. Hartia froze as his body pulsed with electricity.
"Come on Hartia!" begged Orphen holding out his arms offering sanctuary.

But Hartia couldn't make it and his brown eyes lost their luster, his body trembled before he collapsed panting. Orphen quickly made a run for Hartia and grabbed up the man's limp body while yelling out a shield,
"Amber shield from my fingertips!" he called just as Flameheart called out a powerful spell that luckily ricocheted away.

Before Flameheart could get his bearings as the spell reflected past him, this was quickly followed by an attack by Orphen,
"I call thee, sisters of explosion!" a large shockwave of power shot forth catching Flameheart sending him several meters away.

Scrambling up Flameheart flicked his blonde hair out of his face,
"You'll pay Krylancelo," he hissed seething below the surface "Don't you think this is over! Take me away," he said before disappearing.

At first Orphen couldn't move as he sat where he had fallen, he could almost feel Hartia in his arms but at the same time he felt as if Hartia was gone. Looking down Orphen quickly tore away the collar of darkness; Hartia's neck was burned and torn from the power of the collar.

Hartia's breathing was shallow, blood was dribbling down his lips but his eyes were just open.

"Hartia?" he asked, Hartia blinked several times before glancing at Orphen and smiling weakly but he didn't speak. Hartia's eyes then fell closed for the first time in months, Hartia felt safe.

Orphen cradled Hartia's body in his arms and got to his feet, Majic stepped forward staring at Hartia,
"W-What happened to him?" asked Majic shocked.

Orphen looked down at Hartia and felt his blood run cold as thoughts filed his head, what had happened to Hartia? It would take a lot to make Hartia fall this far…
"His beliefs and morals were beaten out of him" was all Orphen said before walking past his two companions trying to stop himself from panicking.

Cleao and Majic both let their jaws drop.
"Oh"
