Last time: "What the hell was that about?" He asked himself.
He watched her fly away until she was out of sight. By the time she was fully gone, it was night-time. He sighed and went inside. He went up the stairs and sat in their bedroom, "Maybe, she will be back in the morning." He said to himself, as he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning...
He woke up and looked around. "Still no Zoey." He muttered. "Where is she?" He got up and walked down to find his flying ring. "Well I'm not going to ask her about where she's going anymore. Hm, maybe I should just follow her instead." He suggested to himself. "I really need to stop talking to myself. It's just not healthy." He added. He found his ring in one of the chests. He grabbed it and flew out, looking for Zoey. She was milking one of the mooshrooms. "Hey, Zoey." He said, flying over.
"Hey Rythian. I'm milking Daisy. Wait, would this be called milking? I mean she's not giving us milk, she's giving soup. Would that be called souping?" She asked, coming out of the mooshroom pen. "I have finished souping Daisy." She said, holding up a bowl of mushroom soup, which she happily drank it.
"Ok... Anyway, when did you get back?" He asked.
"Oh, a while ago actually. A creeper blew up part of my farm sign, but it's okay. I fixed it with some extra things I found in the chest." She said, going over and looking at her sign. The rest of the day was filled with magic and laughs. It was, overall a very good day.
Then it all went down hill. The sun was beginning to set and Zoey said, "Well, Rythian. I need to go again. I'll be back later." She said, flying north.
He sighed and activated his flying ring. He waited until she was almost out of sight and then he followed her. Trying to be stealthy, he flew close to the ground and made sure to stay out of her sight. They passed Sipsco, then Honeydew Inc. "Where could she be going? The only thing this far out that I know of is..." He paused, watching the gigantic castle appear on the horizon. "No..." He whispers. "Please, don't let her be going to him. Please not... not her... anyone but her." he whispered, watching her fly towards the force field Duncan had put up. He saw her type in a code on a computer and part of the force field went down. She walked in and the force field automatically went up behind her. "No." He whispered again. He flew up to the force field gate and looked at the computer. "Let me see..." He thought about what it was and after looking at the history, "Open." He said out loud as he typed it in. The force field went down and he walked in. It went back up and he scoffed, "Duncan you idiot." He muttered. He saw Zoey disappear into a room and he followed. He of course didn't go into the room because Duncan might see him. Instead he laid his ear against the door and listened to the conversation.
"Hey Lalna!" He heard Zoey say.
"Hey Zoey. How's my apprentice doing?" Duncan asked. Rythian didn't need to se to know that Duncan was smiling.
"I'm doing fine. How are you?" Zoey replied.
"Apprentice?" Rythian muttered, trying to ignore the stab of betrayal he felt.
"I'm doing good." He answered.
"You know, Lalna. You still haven't taught me how to make a mining laser." Zoey said.
"I didn't think you needed one. Don't you have that destruction catalyst?" Lalna asked.
"Yes, but that's magic and it's overly destructive. I need something easier to use." Zoey paused, "Please Lalna. Please, please, please." Rythian heard her beg.
"Alright fine. You need..." Rythian didn't hear the rest.
He pulled away from the door and headed down to the force field. He typed in the code and flew home... fast. He stopped when he got home and he stayed floating in mid-air looking at the ground, "How could she do that to me? I mean, lying to me? Betraying me? After everything we've been through? How can you just..." He paused, trying to fight the emotions that flooded through him. He took a deep breath, and then he went inside. He sat in the lounge, and waited. He was determined to wait for Zoey to come back. And if Rythian's anger lasted that long, then it would be the last time she would ever be allowed back at Blackrock Stronghold.
