Finding the way

As we all know that Sharky along with Lucy went to the wrong side of the forest, they had the worst experience ever. The place was very scary, there bats all over the place, there was no food at all. And on top of that, they had to find a place to sleep for they were very tired. They were still on their horses, so they just kept going and going and finally they arrived at a small cave which was very dark inside. They got off their horses and decided to check it out in hopes that it would be good to sleep in.

So, they walked into the cave, at first things seemed to go smoothy up until bats began flying out of the cave even though the two thought they were very quiet, a problem began as a creature began making weird noises in the cave, well, the two turned to leave but that was too late. They were caught by something that seemed to be a fish net, and just like that, they both fainted. Well, I would fait too, especially after knowing that I was in a very cursed place.

Before they knew it, it was daytime. And they were both hanging upside down. Lucy was the first to open her eyes, and that's when she saw a huge pool of a green portion not far from their heads. And as she kept calling Sharky to wake up, she saw this very tall, light skinned man walking in the room. Well, he was quite good looking though, but there was something dark about his appearance, he had this huge aura which was very tough to tolerate.

Sharky opened his eyes at that instance, and he gave out a very loud scream which made the man laugh at him.

 At that moment

Sharky- Oh no, we are going to die!!

Lucy- Calm down Sharks, 

Giveon- You better listen to your girl boy, now, why are you two in my territory.

Lucy- We were just looking for a place to sleep, we never wanted to cause anyone any trouble sir.

Said Lucy in a shaky voice. Giveon moved towards her and decided to untie her for he wanted to have fun with her. Not much is known about this man because he doesn't like talking about his past. He untied Lucy and dragged her out of the cave, he got her on his horse and before she knew it, they were already at a very huge black mansion, it was dark and very scary. Bats were all over the place. She was very scared but decided to keep a stern face so that the man would not harm her in any way. As they arrived, Giveon got off the horse and told Lucy to get off too for he was not giving her a hand. 

What a waste, she got off the horse and followed her. He took her inside the house and told him that the house belonged to him, and him alone. Did he really have to emphasize that. He then told her that he was lonely for quite a long time and needed someone to be his companion.

 At that moment

Lucy- Wow, you kidnapped me and now you want me to be your friend?

Giveon- You just lucky I didn't kill you, so don't try to act smart!!

Lucy- I am very sorry, but my partner and I have places to be.

Giveon- Oh, you have places to be, here in my forest?

Lucy- We are looking for princess Cassandra, she went missing.

Said Lucy and the man stopped for a moment. He got up and called one of his servants to get him along with their guest a drink for she seemed to be very thirsty. One of the servants ran to the kitchen and made the drink meanwhile Giveon tried to find ways to get Lucy to talk about this princess. He then asked her why the princess went missing and Lucy just told him that she didn't know but all she knew was that the princess was in a relationship with Prince Charming, and he is the one she went to.

He had no more questions left. The drinks were finally brought and they both drank them in silence. Giveon then went to his library. There was a huge mirror on the wall there, it was covered with a black sheet, he went on to remove the sheet and did what he hasn't done in a long time.

 At that moment

The mirror- Oh, look who decided to see me today, my handsome Prince Charming how are you doing?

Giveon-It is none of your business, and don't ever call me that, I need your help with something

The mirror- Which is?

Giveon- How long will it take me to return home, 

The mirror- There is only one way for you to remove the curse, find love, learn to love and the chains on your hands will be broken.

Giveon- That one is very tough, there is only one person in this entire world whom my heart belongs to Mirror, I cannot love someone else, isn't there another way?

The mirror- I am afraid there is not, 

Said the mirror as Giveon covered it again with the black cloth and then he left the room. Well, if his only way out was to find love then he just had to go with the flow. Follow the only options he had left. Well, the only woman in the picture was Lucy, so he had to give her the impression that he loved her even though that was not true at all. So, he went back to the dining hall where he found her all bored.

He then asked her to walk around with him in at the garden and that's when he told her that he wanted to get to know her. But he assured her that he wasn't trying to steal her from his mate. Speaking of her mate, Sharky was left at the cave as you already know, Giveon already sent some of his bats there to deliver a very important message. Well, he didn't want to do anything bad to the guy because it would only make him look bad in front of the lady. 

So, he told his guards to accompany him to his mansion, well the only way to get the girl is to be good friends with her guy first. So, those trustworthy bats delivered the message and Sharky was released. He was then led to the mansion, and he had no choice but to follow because death was the last thing he wanted. He arrived later that day, and he found Giveon having dinner with Lucy which seemed to be weird.

His mind was no longer full of nothing, he decided to behave himself and even spoke politely with Giveon. The three had their meal and as they were done Giveon asked his servants to show the gentleman his bedroom chamber, but as for Lucy, he was going to share a room with her. So, he took Lucy to his room and there he told her that he wanted to get to know her, so the best way was to share a room with her.

On the other side, the others found themselves going in circles. Well, the guard seemed to have forgotten the way to their destination, so they had to find another place to spend the night. This time the guard decided to find wood to start the fire while the two decided to rest. Well, they were near a redberry tree, so they decided to feat on it because they were very hungry. 

Little did Niko know that he made a very big mistake by eating those, well he was somehow allergic to them, just after swallowing three, he began to cough blood, his eyes turned red, and he fell to the ground causing Nancy to give out a very loud scream. Well, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't lift him up, she ran to look for the guard, but he was nowhere to be found.

So, she went back to him and helped him to get up and they began to walk hoping that they might find help. they kept walking until they saw a light coming out of a small cave. On their way there Nancy saw an old woman who was struggling to walk due to the heavy load of fruits she was carrying so Nancy offered to give her a hand while balancing Niko not to fall. 

To Nancy's surprise, the old woman was also going to the cave so when they arrived there Nancy asked her if she would be able to help her friend and the woman told her that she would see what she could do because she has helped her before. So, the two were invited in the cave since it was already dark, to their surprise, as they walked in the cave, it was no longer a cave, it was a very huge house. 

The old woman told them that she stayed alone in the house, she then took Niko to the guest's room where she began to attend to him with the only herbs she had in the house. At least they had a place to rest for the night.
