Arkain listens to Gold's about him running with them. Then starts to notice something strange going on with him. He can see his body changing. He is getting a very bad feeling. A cold dark feeling and it seems to be coming from Gold. He quickly steps away from Gold and moves closer to Wendy. He shakes his head in despair when he hears Gold's threat. "What has happened to you Gold? "<br/><br/>Arkain nods looking at Wendy. "OK. I can do that. I do care a lot about Gold." Arkain stay close to Wendy. He can feel Gold's dark power is in control of him and he is not quite sure how powerful he is now and he doesn't want to really find out.<br/><br/>Arkain looks at Wendy skeptically. "Yea. This is our friend you know." He shakes his head. "I hope you know you know what you are doing. He is a powerful dragon. IF its going to hurt, you are only get once chance at it so make it count."<br/><br/>Arkain's eyes squint watching the gem glow brighter. He puts his on the canes gold cap. He nods. "I understand." He closes his eyes and focuses his thoughts. "I have been friends with Gold a long time. I care about him deeply. Finding those warm thoughts will not be hard. I know we can do it. I don't care if its pretty or not. Gold is my friend. I am not let the succubus corrupt my FRIEND." He yells loudly. He focuses all the powerful positive he can muster and sends them to the gem.<br/><br/>The evil king sits in his throne holding a royal looking staff staff in his hand at the top of the staff is the Gem of Power. He had staff fashioned so he can keep the Gem of Power close to him. He grins evilly watching how the succubus was finally able to get Crystal. He sends a mental message to the succubus when she gets closer to the castle. "Excellent job. Bring her immediately to the throne room. Looks like there still will be a wedding after Crystal is persuaded to participate." He laughs loudly. Everything is coming finally coming together. With Crystal's parents locked up in the highest tower and under a dark magic sleep spell, they will pose no trouble now. Now all he has to do is get Crystal to willingly marry him before the solstice hits it peak. Crystal will be no match for him.
