Half an hour went by before the dragon landed. Slowly letting the group down in the woods, the dragon took a rest by a tall tree with a large shaded area. Trivia patted her on the head as to signify a good job. The rest of them were scattered around stretching, except for Red. He looked straight at Trivia and with a serious tone asked,

"I'm sorry miss, do I know you from somewhere?",

Everyone else went into shock. Trivia however, looked at Red with pity. She approached him, and catching him off-guard, placed both her hands on his face. She looked up to his eyes, a tear almost falling from her right eye, she gave a small smile,

" Yes, you do" she replied with a whimper,

Red looked at her in confusion. Suddenly he started feeling dizzy. His vision went blurry, like a feeling of being drunk and tired at the same time. He grunted before falling to the floor. Amélia looked at them with a worried look, wondering what was going on. But before she had the opportunity to ask, Gália approached Red and picked him up, carrying him near the dragon before laying him down by it's head,

"What... What happened?" Amélia asked worryingly,

"It's a sleep spell",

"Without incantations... Wait! No! Why?",

"His memory is fading faster than before. If he was left to be, he may have forgotten us all in a short while" Trivia answered,

"We should hurry to Savanna! His state will get worse unless you help him. We shouldn't hang around for long" Gália notified Trivia,

"I agree, but we must rest" Trivia told him while looking at the dragon,

Gália nodded in agreement. Amélia however, stood in confusion,

"Alright, alright. Can someone please explain what is going on?" she asked,

"Do you not know of his curse?" Trivia answered with a question,

"Yes, but that's not what I mean. You're a queen or princess or whatever. How are you so comfortable around Red or everyone else?",

Trivia looked at Amélia. She sighed with exhaustion before telling her to sit down. As they both sat, Gália took Maria and Karla away as a distraction,

"Amélia, do you know of Red's past?",

"Kind off",

"Well let me explain it all to you in detail, but in return, please never mention to him what I am about to tell you",

Confused, Amélia agreed,

"Before there was Space and Time, there were two anomalies. They were named Começo and Fim. These two anomalies circled one another in nothing, until one day, they decided to join creating our world. They gave birth to a wondrous planet and 12 beautiful children. These children are what we call Deus. The rulers over everything. As youngsters they did not understand their power, but as time came to pass, they matured. And with maturity came knowledge. They started experimenting, creating endless voids of Space and an endless line of Time. At one point they decided to play a game among themselves. To create a hero each and give them a kingdom to rule over on the planet we are currently on. The last hero standing among the twelve would be victorious as they fought for dominance of the world. But as I am sure you know, that didn't come to be. Two Deus fell for each other, giving birth  to a 13th Deus. Keeping it secret from the others, they decided to claim the baby was their hero and they were teaming up for this game. The others didn't take to kindly to this. As heroes were created, so we're races. The Dragons ruled by Oblivion, the Vampires ruled by Krul, the Humans ruled by their elected Emperor, the Elves ruled by their Priestess, the Werewolves ruled by Derman, the Bonemares by their Black Orphan , the Helions by their Sol Representative, the Servans by their Strongest, the Demons ruled by Devila, the Hierarchies with no ruler and of course, the Makers by the Forbidden One. Seeing as this was meant to be a 12 player game, only having 11 was a problem. So they decided to make it a 10 player game. The other Deus ordered the Death of the Forbidden One. They did not succeed. Instead the Forbidden One was lost in the world. As time went by, wars waged, death reaped souls and kingdoms fell. Until the Humans found the Forbidden One. Empress Adriana wanted him hidden but seeing as she was dying, her right hand man had different plans. He decided to look him away to obtain his power. Her right hand man, now Emperor, instead decided to now brainwash him into an imortal soldier, but failed. Instead the Forbidden One faked his brainwashing while supporting his kingdom, Savanna, from the shadows. As time went by, Savanna grew into an All Powerful Power. A kingdom unrivalled in raw strength and knowledge. A haven for all races, existing for peace and ending this stupid game. And of course its ruller would be-" suddenly Trivia was interrupted by Red waking up,

Amélia stunned looked at Red and suddenly came to realization. She tried to speak but the words were trapped in her throat. She couldn't believe it. Red walked by the two and planted himself down with force, scratching his head as he is so,

"God dammed dreams" he grunted in disgust,

Trivia then stood herself up, patting down her clothes from being on the floor and stated to the two,

"Alright, time we get going" she said with a smile "Gália! It's time to go",

Gália who was close by with the girls nodded and brought the girls along. Amélia looked at Red with a stunned face and Red looked at her confused,

"Everything alright Amélia?",

"Huh? Yeah, yeah" she replied,

Trivia took notice of the sentences exchanged between the two but brushed it aside. Amélia then got up and reached down her hand to help Red up,

"Shall we?" she asked with a genuine smile,

"Yeah" he replied with a smile of his own,
