"What do we do now then? She remembers more day by day, at this rate she'll remember you as well" Sapnap said worriedly, hiding in a bush at the edge of the castle grounds.

"I know that! Where have you been?! You disappeared for a whole week!" his boss shouted back.

"I had to go to the nearest volcano to heal, that fucking king really did a number on me, he's good" he growled "And don't talk to me like that, just because you came up with the plan it doesn't automatically make you the boss, Dream" he said in an angry tone, making him roll his eyes under the mask.

"Whatever, have you got the blood?" he asked, looking around to make sure no one was watching them. Sapnap nodded, handing him a small vial with a bluish liquid, which Dream quickly hid.

"She need to drink that you know? How are you gonna make her drink it without the king getting suspicious?" Dream smiled "I have my ways"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dream made his way towards the kitchen, entering without much problems but soon getting stopped by the cooks.

"Hey! What are you doing here? Only the cooks are allowed in the kitchen, get out!" one of them demanded.

"I just passed by to check on the quality of the food, i like to know where what i eat comes from and if it is of good quality" while he talked he kept walking around the room, grabbing various bowls with the ingredients and moving them around, no one noticed that with a swift movement of his hands he let a few drop of blood fall into them. The blood by itself isn't poisonous to humans or other magical creatures, it's only toxic to Elythrians, which made it perfect to hide.

"Get out!" he soon was shoved out of the kitchen but it didn't matter, he did what he came for, now he just had to wait.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aren't you hungry Angela?" Techno asked, noticing she still hadn't touched her food.

"I don't know... it has a strange smell, besides..." she turned to look at Philza, who was as pale as a ghost "Phil are you sure you're ok? You look like you're gonna pass out at any moment now" she asked a bit concerned, Phil weakly smiled.

"I'm fine Angela, it's probably something i ate, i'll be ok by tomorrow don't worry" he said in a tired voice "Maybe you should go and get some rest" she suggested "There's no need to, i'm fine, really" he assured.

"I'm with Angela this time, i think you should rest old man, we wouldn't want for you to die so soon right?" Techno teased, earning a weak glare from him.

"Very funny mate" he coughed a bit "I told you, i'm fi-" he started to have a coughing fit, Angela shot out of her seat as soon as she saw he was coughing blood.

"Phil!" she ran by his side, so did Techno "Bring a medic! Quick!" he ordered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How is he?" Techno asked as the doctor came out of Phil's room, sighing.

"I haven't seen anything like this before, it seems like he has been poisoned but he ate the same food everyone else did and they are fine. Whatever kind of new poison it is, it's very strong" he explained, making the king clench his fists in anger.

"Can we see him?" Angela asked, receiving a nod "Just be careful, he's very weak"

The two entered the dark room, all the curtains were almost completely closed, aside from the one furthest to the bed, so to allow them to see a bit.

"Hey mate... i guess you were right in the end" he weakly joked, putting on a weak smile.

"You better not die on me old man, i didn't give you permission to die yet" he scolded, his voice wavering a bit as he sat on a chair next to the bed. Philza let out a weak giggle, smiling a bit.

"I'm sorry mate... i guess we won't be able to... do another rematch..." he was feeling weaker by the minute, Angela could tell that just by looking at him, he was exhausted.

"Shut up! I s-still need to kick your ass! You c-can't die! Not now! Not yet!" he took his hand, closing his eyes and holding it tight, a few tears leaving his eyes "Not you too... please.... i can't lose you too..... you're the only friend i've left.... please...." he begged, he had lost so much over the past few years, his family, his friends, his people, his heart couldn't bear another loss.

"Techno..." she placed a hand on his shoulder, gently caressing him, she knew there was nothing she could do, although she wanted to help him with all her being, she didn't know how. That's when she remembered the line from the book she and Sam read a few days ago.

'Magic can be of four kinds, attack, defense, healing or support...'

"Healing..." she whispered, a memory flashing in front of her eyes, it was more of a feeling than anything really, she saw herself place her hand on someone and felt a strong energy leave her body, entering the one of the injured person, healing their wound. She focused hard on that feeling, trying to lock it in her mind.

'I can do this, i just have to do the same thing i did with.... that person, i can save him' she said to herself, a determined light appearing in her eyes. She wasted no time, placing a hand on his chest and closing her eyes, trying to focus.

"Angela what are you-" Techno gasped when he saw a small light appear on where she had her hand, slowly starting to spread across Phil's body, eliminating the poison and instantly making him feel a little better.

"She's... healing me" he whispered incredulous, he too had read that book, and thought that she could only use attack and defense magic, but would have never guessed that she could use three different magic kinds! He thought that was just a myth.

Angela kept her eyes closed, continuing to heal Philza for several minutes until her magic didn't find a single trace of the poison left, at which point she allowed her body to relax, getting caught by Techno.

"That... was hard...." she panted out, clearly out of breath, who knew this healing thing would take out that much from her.

"How did you know you could heal?" Phil asked, sitting up on his bed "I.... didn't...." she closed her eyes again, falling asleep and alerting Techno, Philza immediately reassured him "She just fainted don't worry, she'll be fine with some rest" he smiled "I'm gonna have to give her a proper thanks when she wakes up, she just saved my life"

Techno smiled, pulling her closer "Yeah... she did" he leaned to whisper to hear ear, even though she probably wouldn't hear him "Thank you my love"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Techno had set Angela in her room, she didn't wake up for dinner so he let her sleep, leaving Sam on guard at her door, ordering to not let anyone in for any reason.

Hours passed and soon the night came, the castle was quiet, aside from the noise of the guards moving and changing shift, so it was natural for them to not notice a dark cloaked figure sneak in, their dark green clothes blending in the night. He made his way up and on the roof of the castle, lowering himself at the level of Angela's window with the help of a rope. He managed to unlock it and sneaked in.

"You managed to smell the poison, impressive" he whispered as he made his way towards her bed "You also remembered another one of your powers" he took out a small, but very sharp dagger "And you managed to save the king's guard" he gritted his teeth "You are a real thorn in my back you know Angela?" his voice became a bit louder, causing her to stir, slowly starting to wake up.

"Techno?" she called, her vision still adjusting to the light, a dark laughter filled the room as she saw the mysterious figure lift the dagger, the moonlight from outside hitting it and making it more visible to her.

"Sleep tight Angy"

Everyone in the castle was woken up that night by a blood curling scream. Techno was the first one to rush out, recognizing Angela's voice and darting towards her room, sword in hand. He entered her room and saw Sam fight someone, who, upon noticing the king, quickly made their escape through the window, disappearing in the dark of the night.

"Your hi-" Sam started, turning to explain himself, but was cut off "After him!" he ordered and Sam ran out of the room to warn the rest of the guards, sounding the alarm.

Meanwhile Techno quickly went towards her bed, relieved to see her loved one alive, although her left arm was covered in blood and she was shaking. He dropped his sword, going in to hug her.

"It's ok, i got you now, you're safe" he clenched his teeth in anger, he told her she would be safe here, with him, then why couldn't he keep his promise?! Why couldn't he protect the woman he loved even though he was the king!
