"Cancer said she was going ho for a while," Lexi said after the portal closed, and I nodded, closing my eyes.
As ruler of this Astral Island, I controlled everything that happened, down to the direction the wind blew and how hard. So, I sealed the entire island off from all Zodiacs. Sothing about what Titania said spooked a bit, and now I was starting to wonder what might be happening. It was clear that the woman that I was dealing with now was not the sa woman I had known since the start of ti. If that was the case, then I needed to be wary of all of them.
"Titania, I am going to check on Cancer, but I have sealed this island off. I am sorry to interrupt the date, but I think it is important to deal with this sooner rather than later. Sothing about all of this is giving a dreadful feeling that only seems to get worse the more I think about it and talk to other people," I said, and Titania walked over and grabbed a few large cushions as I did to stack beside Lexi.
"Just bring over so cups for us won and the bottles you always keep above the teapot, and I will be more than fine," Titania said, and then waved her hand to change into yoga pants and a sports bra. Then she climbed on the cushions and smiled at Lexi. "It really has been a while since I have visited with you, and this is one of the best places to do it! Galio has an endless variety of wines, and the bottles never empty!"
"Yes, I had tried a glass with Cancer, but she seed to be preoccupied... until she asked to..." Lexi said, and her face fell, but I walked over and took her hand.
"No, don't bla yourself for this. It is clear sothing is going on here, but it is not you. What I would like to know is what you an by preoccupied?" I asked, and Lexi used her free hand to put a finger to her lip.
"It was strange, to say the least. When I first t her, she was very nervous and apologized a few tis for needless things. As I drank my wine, she seed to think deeply about sothing, then she seed to change. I wasn't sure if it was normal, but then she started to talk to about my ability and then asked to use it on you. She told that it was for his own good and that it would give a chance with you..." Lexi said, trailing off and pausing, then shaking her head. "But now I can clearly see it was stupid for to agree, but sothing about her made relax. Maybe it was the glass of wine."
I shook my head in disbelief at the situation. Cancer had never been a person to use anyone, but this was beyond anything I could have imagined. I an, asking Lexi to use her ability on ? That wasn't like her at all, and it made suspicious about what she was up to.
"It's okay, Lexi," I said reassuringly. "You didn't do anything wrong. I know you wouldn't intentionally hurt or put in danger."
Lexi nodded somberly, not eting my gaze. "Well, that's good to hear," she said softly.
Titania then spoke up, her voice serious. "It sounds like sothing is off with Cancer. We need to investigate further and ensure that nothing bad is happening here. But before we do, can you tell us more about what happened when you agreed to help her?" she asked Lexi.
Lexi took a deep breath and started to explain what had happened. "When I agreed, she seed relieved and thanked profusely. Cancer told to use my ability on you because she felt it would be the only way to keep you safe. She also ntioned that it was hard for her to go against her nature and appreciated my helping her. And then she gave this," Lexi said, pulling out a small silver charm from her pocket. It had a delicate spiral pattern etched into it, and a distinct energy was coming from it.
"What is this?" I asked, taking the charm and examining it closely.
"It's an enchantnt which binds to Cancer. She said it would allow her to control my power when she needed it." Lexi said, looking a little uneasy.
I frowned and then looked at it with my Mana Runes.
Then I was on the floor, covered in sweat, with the girls nearly screaming to ask if I was okay.
A flash filled my sight, and I was standing in my throne room with all of my most trusted followers. I looked to either side, my two wives, Tallia and her mother, Nemoria.
I was slamd back into my head, and fire ripped through my body. I scread out in pain but was hit with another flash of light.
"You took my daughter and my wife! They were mine! I owned them, and you took them away!" a golden figure scread at as the world around us ripped apart. "Now, I will steal EVERYTHING FROM YOU! I will take it all back, and so much more! I will make you pay!"
"You do not own anyone. Do you think that forming a pact with Mathias will be enough? Do you think taking the ones I love from would crush ? Do you think I will ever stop loving them all? If you think the answer to any of these questions is yes, know I am coming for you. When I find you, I will give you this rage that I will store in the depths of my soul. No matter how many lives it takes or how many deaths I must die, I will find you and deliver this rage."
