Chapter 11: My Real Feelings
Teiga woke up in a dark room. "Hey, awake again? “, Asked a voice right next to her. "Who's there?! She yelled, looking around. "No fear. It's just me, Kenji. “Teiga had no idea what had happened and after her brother had explained everything to her again, she asked:“ Is there anyone else here besides us? “She could almost feel her shaking Kenji's head. “No, just like both of them. Sky was here until recently, but because he was yelling all the time not to touch you, they took him to another room. Just don't ask me which one. This castle is huge. "
She faintly remembered the castle where she had lived with her mother and Kenji as a child. As far as she knew there were five different dungeons, each with five cells and seven torture chambers. She just hoped he hadn't been taken to a torture chamber ... Suddenly, something else occurred to her.“What about Yuna? "It took Kenji a moment before he answered:" She was just here and asked if you woke up again because Lenya needs you for something. She said nothing more. I still can't believe she was a spy. "Teiga remained silent for a while, then:" Listen, Lenya is definitely not allowed to get me, okay? Then it's all over. “Kenji looked at her questioningly, but when he noticed that she couldn't see that, he asked her what she meant by that. “You have no idea what? Okay, short version: I have powers that no other demon has, so she wants to catch me. As soon as she has my powers she is as good as invincible! "
Kenji still didn't understand. If she had such powerful powers, why hadn't she used them against her mother much earlier? Why was she fighting her mother in the first place?
When he asked her about it, she started laughing.“Yes, I wanted to tell you, only when that happened you were still too young and when you got older I had already forgotten it. So, you remember about Maia, don't you? “Of course he still remembered Maia. She was his and Teiga's half-sister and had the same skills as she and Lenya, only he had been told that they were a little more pronounced than hers. Lenya let her practice her skills day and night and one day she went too far. Maia tried to improve her techniques further and accidentally used the attack Teiga tried to use while fighting Lenya on Talleca, sacrificing her soul in the process. Shortly afterwards, her mother forced Teiga, who became so much more valuable than her sister, to train and soon the subject of Maia was completely ignored. So that's what she meant by extraordinary powers ...
“Oh, you fight her because you think it was Lenya's fault what happened to her because she let Maia train for so long.Pretty far fetched, don't you think? "Teiga replied angrily:" That is not far-fetched! She didn't want that anymore, she wanted to stop fighting and training, but Lenya wouldn't let her. It forced them to carry on and drove them to their death. "
"Not quite," suddenly came a voice from behind Teiga and some light fell into the room when the door was opened and Lenya stepped in, followed by Yuna. "What do you mean by that?! ", Teiga called and tried to free himself from the bonds. The two visitors came closer and she could feel Lenya's breath on her neck when she replied: “I overheard your conversation. You tell him that he has no idea, but in reality you are the ignorant. If she had the same strength as me, all the training would not have been necessary. I would have preferred to improve myself instead of wasting my time with her. She had a completely different magic than me, an energy that nobody else has, but you idiots don't understand that anyway, ”she added and was about to leave the room.Great, thought Teiga. That was actually completely superfluous now. They come here to chat to us and then just leave ?! Are they kidding us somehow ?! Oh, they should, but I can't stand being a prisoner here any longer. So let's play our ace up our sleeve ...
"Hey, Yuna! Where did you actually take Sky? “She ripe. Yuna stopped but didn't answer. Lenya did it for her: “In dungeon 3, cell one! But why do you want to know? “Teiga thought quickly. All rooms in dungeons 3 and 4 were not guarded and if she managed to get him a message through Yuna without Lenya noticing, she might be able to explain to him how he got out of here (that he should then save her afterwards, she probably didn't have to mention it again). Without guards, he could easily free himself with his lightning powers. The only problem was that she kept forgetting where dungeons 3 and 4 were!What was that again? There were just too many corridors in the castle! “Um, five minutes to think about it! She exclaimed with a smile.
Oh my god, what the hell is that going to happen, thought Kenji. We are prisoners and she acts like she is at home!
But Lenya, who had known Teiga since she was a child, knew that if Teiga didn't know what to say from the start, then nothing would ever come of it. So she left the room shaking her head. Yuna was about to follow her when Teiga said: “Oh, now I have it! So tell him ... uh ... first right ... after two times straight left and then ... again left ... and how did you go on? Oh yes, twice straight, once left, twice right ... and then ... and then somewhere else long! Tell him that okay? "
"Uhhhh ...", Yuna replied, who had trouble memorizing this complicated message. She knew immediately that Teiga wanted to show Sky the way out ... if that description even got anywhere."You can't get out of here, don't even try," Yuna said impassively. Kenji interrupted her: “Come on, bring the news to him. “He looked at her hopefully.
What's that supposed to mean, she thought. She wanted to contradict, but somehow came out of her lips: “Okay. “What am I doing here for a sh ...?!
But okay, now that I've already agreed, I can't do it. I could, but ... if he looks at me like that, then ... I can't take it anymore, I have to get out of here! With a curse she ran out, slammed the door and left the two of them alone in the darkness.
“Are you sure he'll get out with it? ", Kenji asked after a while and Teiga replied:" Well, I haven't been here for a long time and I have zero sense of direction ... I would say it works 10%! "

"... and then somewhere else," Yuna repeated the message for Sky when she stepped into his cell shortly afterwards. "Aha?!Did she say anything else? “, He asked, because he couldn't do anything with it.
"No" answered Yuna and added: "but I think she puts all her hope in you."
Cool, he thought. At least she trusts me. Just, um ... does it make sense to forget the message after two minutes? “Okay, can you repeat it again then? “, He asked and Yuna shook her head. “I've really helped you enough. I won't do more than that. "
Why am I even doing this? I don't care if they die? I belong to the demons! Then why does a small part of me want them to survive?
She left the room and left him alone. Great, he thought. I can break free, but I don't know where to go. Okay, I've got a little help from Teiga, but let's be honest: Have your directions ever been correct? Argh, damn, it's the best I have and I guess I better get out of here before I totally forget the description!"Hmm ... the chains are pretty rusty ... I don't need to use a lot of force. Do I even need my magical powers? “He got the answer within seconds: No. Without doing anything, the chains broke and he fell six feet. “Man, more rusty than I thought! Well, how do you go on now ...? “Carefully he opened the door and when he was sure that there was not a single guard in the hallway, he continued walking according to Teiga`s description.
He tried feverishly to remember her words. First to the right? Yes, there is already the turn! straight on at two intersections ... then left and then left again, right?
Oh crap, dead end. Well then just this way ... also dead end. Why do they have so many aisles if they don't lead anywhere?
He tried as best he could to follow Teiga`s instructions, but over time he just alternated left, right and straight ahead until he came to a dead end.After about two hours (it felt like days to him), he still had no exit and, strangely enough, no guards either.
I'm fed up, he said quietly to himself. I'll go back and start all over again, this time not following Teiga`s instructions! Just ... where did I come from now? No wonder Teiga has zero sense of direction when she grew up in this maze!
Hey, a door! Let's see what's behind it! "The toilet ... which of course ..." he said and closed the door again. There is another one! And, surprise, surprise ... another loo! That will probably take a long time ...
After some time, however, a guard came towards him and he was just able to escape into another door (an equipment room, for a change) and then ran on.
After three more guards and about thirty more doors, he really didn't have the nerve for this search. He was about to just sit down and wait for some guard to throw him into his cell when steps approached again."Already given up? “Asked a strangely familiar voice. He turned around and recognized Yuna, who was already speaking: “You're so close. Two minutes and you would be there. "
Since Yuna seemed to know her way around the castle, he wanted to ask her for directions, but wait! Hadn't she defected to the demons? Regardless, it is well known that asking does not cost anything! "Um, where do I have to go? He asked with the friendliest smile on his face. But Yuna didn't look at him and didn't answer either. So Sky tried again: “I know you fight for the demons, but still ... You have been with us for a relatively long time and Teiga and Kenji have already saved your life several times. If you don't want to help me, do it for both of them! "
Why should I, Yuna wanted to scream in his face, had already opened my mouth, but no sound came out. This is your chance to get rid of them all for
