"Uhmmmmm...Kain; you and I should help Elwin get inside before she catches anything else."
"Wait. Wait. I want….."
"Answers? That's what Ruby is looking for right now. Kain and I are going to help out here, so that you can focus on getting better."
"But….."
"You trusted Rainbow?"
"That's because I couldn't see her.
Now that I see you, and can't help.....It makes it harder."
"Elwin, I know; but we made the mistake of trusting one person. Rainbow is not evil. She...….she just got overwhelmed."
"You saying my actions weren't sound?"
"No. I…."
"Darius, I will have you know that….."
"SHE WASN'T HER when she took over.
Okay!!!!!
.....And...…..and.......Power could grip all of us. Have us take advantage of a weak opportunity to our own advantage.
That's why everything needs to be done in two, so that we can hold each other accountable.
You need to trust us, just like we trust you.
And we…..would never take advantage of you."
"......I trust you."
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"I'm sleeping."
"Your Kingship, it is me, and I have news."
"......Come in.
What news would you like to bring....Rainbow?"
"Your King, it is about Elwin."
"Would she like to invite me to a ceremony or something? If so then I will sadly have to..."
"She's sick."
"Excuse me?"
"In no way to fight."
"How?"
"Nor how to defend herself."
"Should...should…..should I send her flowers and a get well soon card, then?"
"Your King, do you not see that this is the perfect opportunity. Kain has told you for years why You sit on the sidelines and just look on? Why not be in the heap of it?"
"How do you….."
"I heard that the School is searching for Positions to fill, and one of them just happens to be a Head Principal. If you took over, you could help change the next generation into what you would love them to be. Kick all the weak out, and only focus on the strong. No one would question you."
"What about the people? Wouldn't they….."
"What people?"
"What people? Rainbow, Castle of fire is roaming with....they're not?"
"Let's just say the people have also come down with something."
"And the Kids?"
"The Kids too. Castle of Fire literally has no one to defend itself from an attack, but your window of opportunity is shrinking."
"How long do I have?"
"Six hours...…Eight at most. That's when the spell wears off and everyone is back to normal. The Kids are back to being ruthless, and the Guards are back to their position."
"....Why are you helping me?"
"The question you should really asking is....'Why are you still laying in bed?"
"...Just looking at my old room and thinking to myself…wow. Look how far I've come. How can a Princess like me...be...….forget it.
Is my sister up?"
"She is, but go on. What were you going to say?"
"It was my dream to lead. Step out of my sister's shadow, and now that I have...it's…."
"Unreal!!!!"
"What?"
"I understand, Rainbow."
"You do?"
"How can someone as simple as you take on the world? Little you, staring up at the pictures on your wall everyday saying to yourself, 'Someday that Warrior in that picture will be me.
Day in and day out, you pray and wish. Overtime, you lose hope as you start to develop a 'meaningless routine'.....as someone else steals your sunlight. Then ...."
"Yes. How do you know?"
"Then one day, somebody comes along, opens the door; and you are whisked onto the Winds, going who knows; but all you can do is hang on as tight as you can as your Dreams slowly become reality. Then….."
"Now that it's happening, you get scared; and totally blow it. Come back home and tell yourself your Dreams maybe were never a dream, but a Nightmare."
"...Don't ever think that, Rainbow. I don't know what you did, or how you were able to do it. If you did it alone, or with help."
"Alone."
"The cool thing about Life is that when you fall, you can stand up again.
There is a reason why it is called a Childhood dream, and not a one nighter dream. It took years to develop. So what makes you think one night...or even two; will stop that? I am sure you had many Nightmares growing up of your dream; but your dreams always outweighed them. As they will again. So whatever the girls say, you and I know the truth."
"You…..you do?"
"That whoever is inside of you is not a curse. You have to understand that. You want to be like Ruby? Then be it. But don't believe what's inside you is a curse."
"But she is. All she feeds on is Darkness and control."
"Then help her see Light and Trust. The only reason she feeds on it is not because she hates the taste of the latter, but maybe she has grown up with that's all she knows."
