Emerald Warrior

He was hoping to avoid that, ".....he plans to take it over, rule it. But to do that he must over-throw the currant leader, Empress Mei." he said.

"Will he hurt anyone?" She asked worried, her morals had remained in place.

"There will mostly likely be harm involved. Guardian soldiers will fight back." he said sitting on his bed.

"But WHY does he have such a score to settle?"

"Ruriel is part of it. He was with a group of ANgels who were protecting a powerful stone called, The Emperor stone, whoever gets a hold of it, will gain the power to rule Guardian. Powerful enough to over-through the Empress herself." he laid on his side,

"But why does he want to do that?"

"He never tells me or the others, Talismyn probably knows, but he won't tell." he frowned a bit, "Why else did you want to talk to me?"

She blushed and kissed him on the lips.

"Hmm?" he got surprised a bit, but he returned the kiss He pulled her onto the bed next to him.

She pulled back and put her forehead against him, blushing, "I like you too."

He blinked, "Well...I kind figured that when you kissed me." he chuckled a bit.

She blushed, "It was that obvious?"

"Don't worry, its not a bad thing." he kissed her this time.

She smile, "Why did you lock me in my room?"

"....Keep you safe." he said.

"No more pranks?" She asked

"No....no pranks." he said, moving her hair behind her ear.

"Good," She smiled and kissed him.

Meanwhile, Ruriel began stirring in his cell.

Uhh, I feel like I hav been hit by a Bolder Dragon." he rubbed his head and when he looked at his surroundings, "uhh crud."

Toximus and Gwen were still holding each other when Gwen smiled, "I think I should go back to my room before Father finds us like this."

He nodded and let her get up, reluctantly though.

"I'll catch up with you later alright?" he said.

Gwen smiled and kissed him, "I can't wait."

He smiled as she went but it went away quickly, feeling like a jerk.

"I don't think I can keep this up for much longer."

"But you have too." Talsmyn said standing in the door way

Toximus looked up, "Haven't you ever heard of KNOCKING?"

"It doesn't matter. If you reveal the truth to her, both of you will be considered traitors."

"She's more a prisoner and she doesn't even know it. SHe'll find out eventually." he said standing up, "Now if you'll excuse me I have to feed my pets."

Talsmyn glared, "Be wary of your feelings." Then he left.

Toximus glared as he left and went to feed his snakes.

Later on Gwen was waiting for him in her room

"Hey, you wanted to see me?" he asked, he had a baby python around his neck.

Gwen saw the snake and tried her best not to freak, "Y-yeah. Come in."

"Don't worry about him, he only hatched a few days ago." he assured her.

She nodded, "Okay..." She fidgeted. "D-do you think that guy could take me to meet my real parents."

His breath got caught in his throat. "Umm.....Gwen...do really NEED to see them? You have us." he said trying to turn her mind around.

She sighed, "Yeah... I guess so, but it would be nice to know where I came from."

Toximus growled, "I can't do this!" he walked up to her and placed his hand on her forehead and covered her mouth and green electricity shot throughout her mind.

Her eyes glowed and she collapsed on the bed.

He sighed, "Awake and your memories be as they once were." he whispered to her ear.

Her eyes blinked open, "W-where am I?" She looked at Toximus, "What are you doing here?"

"Saving you beofre you got any deeper into the situation. Now if I were you I would get out of here." he said.

"R-Ruriel! Where is he?!"

"You can't help him, he's set to be killed tonight." he said.

She tackled him. "You WILL help me find him and get him out of here!" Then she kissed him

He was surprised, he though her feeling for him would have vanished, "WHat? Why did you do that?"

She blushed, "N-no reason."

Before she could get up he pulled her back down and kissed her.

She was shocked a bit but closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around him

His hands roamed her back and snuck under her top, caressing bare skin.

She came to her senses and pushed him away, "We need to get out of here first!"
