Chapter 24 - Save Me

"Ran," Jason heard the crown prince scream. He was speechless, he had no idea why the fool asked him to that. In the moment he was busy trying to figure out how to help himself.

He didn't even see where the idiot expected him to run to. There was literally no place to run to unless they find a way to climb back up.

"Neheheheghraaahhhh!" The horses panicked neigh got him to turn back, his eyes widen with fear from seeing the small plants growing bigger and bigger. The thorns were sharper and bigger, one prick from one of them and he would be dead, literally.

Davion reached him and the horse and manipulated the ground they were on to move up detaching from the earth. He moved it so fast to avoid getting hurt with the thorns that were growing at a speed faster than lightning.

Reaching the sky, he froze. The red shadow was hovering above them. The last time they had escaped by staying out of sight and hiding in the trees and not getting in his sight.

But there was no tree for miles away. And the thorn plants below them were a suicide more than a surviving chance.

They couldnt go up and landing was also not an option. Davion bit his lower lip, trouble is what he gets for going after the trouble maker of a prince. The man was like magnet for all trouble, everytime he was with him, the red shadow always seem to find them.

If he didn't know better he would assume the shadow had something to do with the wicked prince of Xeris.

"Why did you stop. Those things are still growing?" Jason pestered. He had his eyes below watching the plants getting bigger. Soon even the distance that they had managed would be covered by them and they would be history.

"Why have yo sto..."

Jason shivered seeing the cursed red shadow above them. In honest truth, he had no clue what that thing did, the last time they saw it, the prince overeacted and made him maneuver between the trees to not let it spot him.

And when the king was informed of it's presence. The trip was called off immediately and they all returned to the palace. He was no fool to wait and find out for himself what the thing could do.

It was safe to fear it when others did. He looked to the prince for a plan, he was too young to die and the horse felt the same way too as it hid behind the crown prince.

"This would be a perfect time for you to grow healthy plants on the ground for us to us," Davion stated to him.

Jason shook his head, he was not of any information that he could do any such thing. He was just a normal person with no powers, he was ordinary and all.

"Useless," the crown prince said. With one hand he let go of the ground they were standing in and reached into his pocket. He removed a whistle from it.

The red shadow seemed to have spotted them and started to move down towards them. Jason wrapped his hand around the crown prince and closed his eyes, if death had arrived, he was dying after the crown prince.

"And here I thought you care for me," Davion placed his hand on his heart feigning being hurt. "That breaks my heart," he added.

He blew on the whistle. A red and yellow light flashed before them. "Scree...." A shrieking sound was heard from the shadow before it dashed away from them. The plants too stopped growing below them, Davion let go of the ground.

He brought his hands to his head. The light was making him dizzy, he couldnt stand it's presence. With him not controlling the earth they started falling.

"Save me," Davion whispered. 

"Arghh," Jason screamed at the top of his voice. The ground they stood on had called below and they were soon following the same destination. Seeing the thorns that he was going to fall to, made his life flash before his eyes.

Death gad come knocking and his savior had lost consciousness and was falling even faster than he was. At least the evil prince would die before him, he would follow shortly but at least he wasn't the first to die.

His reasoning in such a moment were strange. Being around the prince was corrupting the way that he thought.

He closed his eyes not to watch as the crown prince was about to land on the biggest thorn yet. It was going to pierce through his heart that was for sure.

He opened his eyes after a few minutes, to his surprise, he had stopped falling. The horse had also stopped midway and floated around him as though running on invisible land.

He checked to see if the crown prince had gone to the big guy upstairs yet. Right in front of him was a strange man carrying a woman in his arms. The woman's black hair floated around clouding the face of the woman.

The man had short brown hair, he stood on ice carrying the woman. "The sun is shining so hot. How the hell is he standing on ice?" Jason questioned.

He had entered a weird world. Surorising enough, the dangers that he faced that nearly ended his life made him want yo explore more of the weird world. He didn't feel like going home, he wanted to discover more of the strange magical world that her had been transported to.

"Can you help me...."

He was cut short when the strange man started walking away. Every time he lifted his leg ice appeared under his feet and he stepped on it.

"Awesome," Jason let out amazed by the power of the man. Strangely, him together with the horse were pulled towards the man. They were moving following him, Jason laid facing the sky and placed his hands under his head and watched the sky.

"I could get used to this," he said happily.
