Panicnapped

"She erased my memories!" Michael exclaims, shocked that Tiffania had done that to him. Was she different from the anime? More hostile?... He actually felt pretty mad that he'd had his mind manipulated again, though, he reasoned that Tiffania did it to protect herself more than anything.

The most important thing was thus; how did he regain his memories? As far as he knew, she'd used Void Mage to wipe his mind, and he hadn't used Dark Pact or anything else to rid himself of it. So, how did he regain his memories?

He could honestly only think of a couple of reasons. One, Tiffania willingly removed the magic. Two, the magic had a time limit on it(which he doubted since it's Void Magic). Three, something happened to Tiffania that has affected her magic.

Michael lets out a long, tired sigh, judging by his luck thus far, he'd be willing to bet on the third option. He quickly stands and puts his clothes on, not willing to leave Tiffania waiting another moment. He had a REALLY bad feeling about this...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael rides his horse Piers Morgan straight back towards Westwood, having it gallop as fast as humanly possible. Luckily, he hadn't gotten all that far away from the village yet, so he'd make it there in a few hours if he continued at this speed.

That was only if his horse could keep its stamina up though, if it started to slow then Michael fully intended to tie it to a tree and go on his own, using his Shadow Dance, and Gandalfr runes to speed to his destination.

Fortunately, Piers Morgan managed to hold out for the six-hour gallop as they reached Westwood, it was utterly exhausted, but it'd have a little break now that they'd arrived... Michael hops off of the horse and runs into the village, only to notice a commotion occurring at the orphanage.

"WE HATE YOU!" a young boy shouts as he runs out of the large orphanage doors, followed by many other children while the matron follows with a scowl on her face.

"You all better come back here! Or you'll not be eating!" she shouts, but none of the kids listens.

A few children finally notice Michael's presence and frown at him with teary eyes, "Y-you! YOU HURT THE FAIRY!" they shout, beginning to pick up stones to throw at him.

"Wait-wait-wait! I didn't do anything! In fact, I've come back to visit! Where is the fairy!" he quickly says, causing a few of the adults nearby to glare at him. The matron herself looked ready to spit fire as he says this, marching up to him and pushing him as if he were her timid husband.

"It was you wasn't it! Poisoning these children's minds along with that demon!" she seethes, emotively gesturing behind her at the confused-looking kids.

Michael frowns and shrugs her off, causing her to stumble as she tries to push him, "Look lady, I don't know you, all I want to know is what happened to the fairy that lives around here." he urges.

"They took her away! Those bad men took the fairy!" one of the kids shout, causing the matron to slap them and make them fall onto their backside with a red mark on their face.

She looks back to Michael and crosses her arms, "That demon is now where she belongs! If you don't want to experience the wrath of Brimir, you will forget about that thing and whatever relations you had with it!"

Michael scowls, how fucking dare this stupid cunt refer to Tiffania as a 'thing!', he might not know her personally, but he knew she was one of the kindest people in this shitty world. Losing his temper, he grabs the woman's throat and lifts her off of the ground with a bit of strain, "What the fuck would you know you bitch!? You wanna vilify someone for having long ears!? Fine, let's see how you like this!" he states, drawing his dagger and easily slicing both of her ears off, causing the woman to scream and attracting the attention of everyone else in the village who wasn't already watching.

"OI! You better let her go or I'ma kick your little ass!" a man followed by a few of the other men in the village shouts as he walks over with bared fists.

Michael drops the now sobbing Matron and glowers at them, "Where. Is. The. Fairy!?" he angrily asks, feeling more and more worried over Tiffania's condition, especially with how these people were referring to her.

"You want to know where that long-eared slut went!? You wanna save her, elf lover? Well, maybe you'll see her burning body if it hasn't been turned to ashes yet." the man states with a vicious grin.

Michael feels his heart drop, "You're a fucking liar. Now tell me where she is or I'll gut you like the dirty fucking pigs you are!"

"Try it, boy!" the man retorts, grabbing a nearby splitting axe and advancing towards him. The men following him do the same as they jeer and threaten Michael.

"Fine! You want to die so badly!? Bring it!" Michael says, easily ducking under the attack as the man swings his axe, getting in close and stabbing him in the stomach five times before backing off. The man wasn't even able to react as he was riddled with holes, causing the other villagers to gape at the ease with which Michael dealt with him.

The man falls to the floor holding his gut, spitting up blood as copious amounts drip past his fingers and onto the ground. "Y-you fuckin'..." he starts but losing his strength and rolls onto his back, a woman who's probably his wife screams and runs over to him, attempting to apply pressure to the wound.

Needless to say, no one else attempts to attack him, allowing Michael to turn towards the shocked-looking children, "Do any of you knew where the fairy is? I need to save her if what the guy said is true!" he quickly says.

One of the braver ones nod, pointing at the road leading out West of the village, "They went that way! That's all I know, Mister!"

Michael nods, sending a glare at the villagers as he hops onto the back of Piers Morgan and kicks the horse to have it starts galloping again. It was still exhausted, but Michael couldn't give a shit right now, his adrenaline pumping through him as he images the various treatments Tiffania was receiving.
