On top of my throne, I looked across the room to see what was happening with Risa, only after Psinia woke me up and told me that she was going to see what we were doing. Although I said that there was no need to look to see what they were doing, she insisted that she should, and somehow convinced me that it was a good idea. Psinia was always a bright one, I could give her that.

"Tsunami," The voice was brisk, and I could tell that it was Hezraith who called my name. He truly wasn't one for respect, although I have to admit that I enjoy having one disrespectful pawn, and either way, he always does what he gets assigned, and nearly never fails, even if the person he assigns does. They never fail because they just don't want to search; they fail because they just can't find their object. Of course, there are some lucky ones who pick the easy task card, although it rarely happens. Hezraith is the only one who uses the card tactic, although I rarely do any of the tasks. "Why is Psinia interrogating Risa?"

The question took me surprise; Hezraith usually didn't care for any matters between the 'victim' and others that lived in the darkness. That is, unless Seiane was the one doing it. Had he, perhaps, have feelings for this one? "I gave her permission. Why do you ask?" He flinched a bit, as if they question took him off guard.

"No reason." He answered simply. Then he opened his mouth to speak again. "I just thought Psinia had some more important tasks." I looked at him, confused for a moment; then I realized that he was right. I had a task for Psinia.

He could tell that I realized that he was right, and started to turn to leave. "I wonder who the unlucky one is." Psinia uses a lot of mind tricks to get everybody she gets assigned to do what she wants, and they almost always work, too, unless they cracked before she was even finished with them. Psinia did a good job scaring them into doing what she wants.

"So, then, if Fiyeln told you your name"—she didn't have time to finish, for I started to correct her before she had time to.

"No, Fiyeln didn't tell me yet, she was just about to." I interrupted, becoming nervous as I saw Fiyeln's eyes betraying her nervousness. Hoping that I haven't insulted her or anything, I added politely, "But, um, I guess Fiyeln can tell both of us?"

Right after speaking again, I realized that Fiyeln had told me what my new name was. It was too late, though, and Fiyeln nodded to me and started to tell Psinia—just her, because I remembered what my new name was already, although I doubted that Fiyeln knew that. "Acsea," She said, and I looked at her, recognizing my new name. "Why are you looking at me like that? I was just telling Psinia what your new name was…"

"Oh." I replied, before adding—just to clarify why I had looked at Fiyeln like that, "It was nothing, I just thought that you were asking me something…" To my surprise, Psinia didn't react to Fiyeln just informing her about my new name, instead telling me as well.

Psinia nodded, before turning away, heading to what I imagine was the throne room, since the door was painted with a red that looked almost ancient—for an effect, I suppose, and a shiny gold outlining on the door, that looked like ivy. In the center of the door was a big star, with one circle in each opening between to of the edges.

"What was that all about, Fiyeln?" I asked her, cautiously, and also quietly. "Why were you so nervous?" When I had asked her that, she looked even more nervous. Glancing around to make sure nobody was there, she replied, as softly as I had asked her,

"Psinia can read minds." I looked at my friend in horror as the words quietly rung from her mouth. I looked down and tried to find the right words to tell her what I did, but when I looked up I saw Fiyeln understood that I thought—when Psinia was there—about me and Fiyeln's escape plans. It was going to get a lot more dangerous if we stuck around…not like we could, anyway.

"Psinia can…read minds?" I echoed, half to myself. "It seems I don't have any choice then. We have to go…now!" It wasn't like I was ever going to choose to stay even if I hadn't known that, anyway.

Well, I had some news for Tsuinami, now, didn't I? He wouldn't be pleased to find out that our trustworthy Fiyeln had decided to run off with Acsea, now would he? Of course he wouldn't, although not much pleased him, now-a-days.

"Tsuinami," I spoke briskly as I entered his throne room, not caring much that he made decisions and what-not. "It seems our slaves are planning to escape." When I had entered the room, his face was a normal, slightly tanned color, but as I spoke to him now, his face was turning into a bright red. Obviously he wasn't so happy about my news, but, isn't that what I told you earlier? Of course it is. He opened his mouth, but I knew what he was going to say before he even said it. He was going to say 'tell me everything you know, Psinia.'

"Tell me everything you know, Psinia." He knew there was no point in speaking, seeing as I already knew what I was going to say, but he spoke anyway, which was good, Seiane, jealous of my power to read minds, always annoyed me by just talking to me with her mind. I nodded my head before speaking.

"It seems…that Fiyeln and Acsea are going to attempt to escape," Tsuinami was about to speak, until he saw that I hadn't yet finished. He knew that if I didn't finish, if he didn't let anyone finish, he could possibly miss some extremely crucial, and in this case he was right. "They are planning to walk over to the door. That's where they will go through to leave. Of course, it's always guarded, but if the manage to get into Seiane's room, well, they could manage to get in very easily. You should know why." He nodded his head, thoughtfully, although I'm sure he knew that it wouldn't be so easy as they thought, Seiane always guards her room carefully. Fiyeln never knew that, though. We never trusted her to know any information about us. It doesn't make a difference, though. Acsea must still obey any of us and Fiyeln would be too much of a coward to leave on her own. She always was too much of a coward. Finally Tsuinami replied:

"You know what to do."
