"Master Shuichi, wake up!" Hiro said shaking him. Much to his dismay, the rookie warrior was still asleep. Then he tried using some of his magic to wake him up. It woke him up a little but not enough for him to get out of the bed. In fact he stayed in the bed longer than he usually did. And Hiro knew why.
"Alright, I get it. You had a little bit too much fun last night. I understand." He said. Then he paced around the boat which for some reason wasn't moving anymore. He then looked and saw a sign that read in a foreign language: WELCOME TO ETERNIAS. The other slaves already parted ways with them and if that wasn't enough, the rest of the gang was already off of the boat; except him of course. But hiro continued using his reverse psychology on him. He thought maybe it would be enough to wake him up from his short slumber.
"It's okay you don't have to get up. But you do know that the boat landed on eternias oh, I don't know… FOUR HOURS AGO?"
A surprise ridden Shuichi finally raised from his not so long sleep. He was confused about what was going on and then looked around. He knew that he may have been asleep a little bit too long. Even if it was four hours.
"Huh? What? Where are we?" he asked. Then his friends got very irritated from the reaction and had to tell them what hiro just said moments ago.
"WE'RE IN ETERNIAS YOU DUMMY!" everyone shouted. After that the equally annoyed prince harshly pulled him off of the boat. It looked like it would take some time for him and everyone else to get through to Shuichi now.
"You really are pathetic." He said. Then he noticed that the teen was fast asleep yet again. Shortly after making that discovery he made a rock levitate and lightly hit Shuichi on the head. That woke him up again.
"Ouch! What the hell was that for?" he asked rubbing his head.
"For oversleeping. Idiot." Eiri said.
"No offense, your highness, but you are partially at fault for that." Suguru said.
"Excuse me? My fault?" he asked.
"Well, you did engage if some nightly activities last night." The psychic said. That made the blonde's face turn beet red all over.
"What… we do is…none of your business!" he said turning away from them. Then he decided to flip the script.
"What about you?" he asked. "Weren't you and that magician going at it as long as we were?"
Now it looked like Suguru was on the spot, too. Sure the fact that Shuichi overslept irritated him but he knew that he and Hiro had sex often so he couldn't really say much. But he had to come back with something.
"At least I wake up on time!" he retaliated.
"STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!" Shuichi shouted. He had just about enough of them going back and forth. After all they got to where they were supposed to be and it was time for them to reach the castle. It looked like the journey was almost over. But they still had a long way to go. In order to get to the castle, they would first have to find it. They first got off of the boat and ended up in yet another set of woods. It seemed like a familiar setting to the group but there was something very different about this forest. It was a lot bigger and denser and from the vibes it was also more dangerous than the other forests they were in. sure they have been in the woods before but this time it was different. This time, they might not survive.
"Why do we always have to go through creepy forests?" Hiro started to rant. "Why is it that every time we get to a new town that we end up going trough another forest? I just know that we're going to get attacked again and again until one of us gets burned, poisoned, kidnapped or killed. It's only a matter of time."
"If I were you fellas, I'd listen to your friend." An unknown voice agreed. They all looked ahead and saw what appeared to be a man with long blond hair put in a ponytail wearing a torn up armor.
"These here woods are gravely dangerous. If you value your lives you will turn back as soon as possible." He demanded. None of the group knew if they could trust his word.
"Why should we?" Suguru asked. "We came this far."
The man came closer to them and told them all to sit down. Then he explained all the dangers of this forest and how he had seen and experienced it first hand. But some of the guys didn't seem to buy it.
"If you ask me this all sounds like a tall tale you came up with yourself." Eiri said. Then after that the man began to point a twig at him.
"You don't have to believe what I say but its true. There is evil here and all over this kingdom. You better leave now while you have your lives."
"The only evil here is your dirty clothes and hair." Suguru said. Then he went to walk away but was stopped by his red-haired lover. Both Hiro and shuichi were beginning to wonder if maybe he was telling the truth.
"I think we should stay here, Suguru." Hiro said. "What if K is right and we do run into more trouble?"
The psychic was shocked to hear that hiro might be taking someone else's side instead of his. This had never happened before; not even in the village they used to live in.
"You mean you actually believe his wackjob story?" he shrieked.
"I don't know but he may be right." The red head said.
"And he may be wrong." Eiri interrupted.
After arguing about it for a while they decided to stay with K for a bit just to make sure he wasn't trying to pull wool over their eyes. As time went on, everything seemed to be in order; at least until a familiar face arrived. A face that they never thought they would see again.
"S-sakano?' Shuichi said. He sped a little closer and saw that it really was their long lost friend. But something didn't seem right about him. The pink haired warrior looked into Sakano's eyes and saw that something was different about him.
"Sakano, what's the matter?" he asked. His response was a wave of energy coming from his body blasting him clear across the forest, slamming him into a tree. After that Suguru's power's began to lose control. He knew that the only way that would happen was in the presence of Psycho power. That's when he finally figured it out. The conclusion devastated him.
"S-Sakano is… the minion from the vision…" he said.
"Evil has come:" K concluded.
