"Oh wow..." Amari said as she stared at the city lights from a hill side.

Cedric smiled as he watched her take one step closer, "Come. We mustn't waste time." he said as they carefully made their way down the hill and toward Heatherfield.

When they entered the city, they entered a building with books, "Is this a library?" Amari asked.

"Yes." Cedric said, "This is my book store."

"Book store?" Amari asked, "You work here? On Earth?"

"Yes. It was Prince Phobos' orders to watch over Princess Elyon." he said.

After gathering several things from his book shop, Cedric headed to the next town; far away from Heatherfield and the portal.

After arriving at the city desired, Cedric helped find an empty house. After spending 3 weeks helping Amari get settled in, find a job, and help her furnish the house, he headed back to Meridian to finish his job.

Lying in his dark room, Phobos heard his door open and footsteps come closer to his bed, "What?" he demanded in a low tone.

"Your highness," it was Lord Cedric, "you've been locked up in here since I've returned from Earth. It's had to have been 9 days."

"And?" Phobos asked, still staring at the wall.

"Well," Cedric began as he took a step closer, "Elyon's beginning to worry and I'm running out of lies. You wouldn't want to blow our cover with your being depressed."

Phobos quickly sat up, "Who said I was depressed?" he asked annoyed.

Cedric smiled, "You love her." he said.

Phobos was silent as he looked up at Cedric, "Is it love, Cedric?" he asked as he looked down at the floor, "I've never been in love..."

"It's love, sire." Cedric said, continuing to smile.

"If this is love, then I never want to feel it again." he said, looking up at Cedric, "From now on, I'll keep everyone away and I'll close myself off from the rest of Meridian and Metamoor. Only you will be alowed to see me."

Cedric was quiet for a few moments before he asked, "Do you require anything?"

Phobos looked at the empty wine bottle on his night stand, "More wine." he said as he looked at Cedric, "I require more wine."

"I believe you've had enough these past few days." Cedric said.

Standing up, Phobos' nostrils flared as he stepped closer to Cedric, "Who are you to tell me what I can or can't have!" he asked, upset, "I require more wine!"

"As you wish, my prince." Cedric said as he bowed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Phobos stood there for a moment as he stared at the door, before he felt a hotness on his eyes. He wiped his face with his right hand, knowing they were tears, before he buried his face in his pillow.

---

Phobos' door opened and he stepped out, looking left and right before shutting his door. He took a deep breath as he walked down the hall and headed toward the throne room. When he reached the doors, he could hear laughing coming from the inside; something he despised even more now than he ever had.

Phobos opened the doors to see Elyon sitting in his throne and Cedric kneeling before her, "Phobos!" Elyon said as she quickly got down and ran over to Phobos with a worried look on her face, "Where have you been?"

"I'm afraid I've been a little depressed lately." Phobos said as he looked at Cedric who nodded.

"Depressed?" Elyon asked as she looked up at him with more worry, "Why? Is everything alright?"

"Everything's fine, Elyon." Phobos said as he placed his hand on her head, "Don't worry about me. We need to get ready for your big day."

---

Arayon woke up to see his mom asleep next to him He sat up and rubbed his eyes as he climbed out of bed and walked into the living room.

"Uncle Cedric?" Arayon called as he looked around the room, "Uncle Cedric!"

He turned around as he heard footsteps behind him, "Uncle Cedric's gone, sweetie. He had to go." Amari said as she wrapped her robe around her body, "Come on, let's go explore."
