I open my eyes only to find the image of Maverick dying fading form a sphere in front of me. I wipe away the hot tears that snail down the sides of my cheeks. I wasn't expecting everyone to see that. I thought he would only see it like I do in their minds. I didn't want everyone to see my last day with Maverick, but Paden needed to see it for closure.

Paden yanks his hand from mine. He has tears in his eyes as well. "Are you part sorceress now too?" I don't believe you! I don't believe any of it. You're trying to trick me!"

"No!" I say. Tears start coursing down my cheek harder. "No, Den. You're brainwashed. Try to look past the memories they placed in the front of your mind and dig deeper. "

"Where are my clothes, what did you do with them?" A new set of the Spearwood uniform appears on the bed, folded. Another explosion shakes the Cabin, even more dirt and rock fly through the door.

"We don't have time for this. We need to get out of here before they bomb the place!" Triton yells, as the noise of the battle grows louder as it gets closer.

I search my mind, for something, anything that his false memories won't be able to dissuade him from. I need physical proof.

"Look at the bottom of your right foot! I say.

I take off my own right shoe and sock. "You'll have two scars there that match mine. When I was seven and you were nine, the three of us triad to do a blood binding ritual from one of Edgar's forbidden books. We failed, because we didn't know how to harness the magic right, and that's the day we learned about the prophecy that I would have to marry the Unmarked Royal. You can't explain that away." I show him my foot two scars line the bottom; one was made by Maverick and the other by him.

"Stop telling lies!" he screams as two more bombs hit. Dust starts to fall from the rafters.

He turns his back on me while he gets on the slacks. An orange red handprint rests on his left shoulder blade, across from the Vox mark. My eyes widen. He didn't have that there before. That means he just got it when I healed him with the fire magic, but why? Shouldn't it have cured his mind as well, or did he need to have it before they tried to brainwash him?

I put my shoe back on. "Please look. It won't kill you to look."

He sighs as he starts to throw on the white button down. "No." He slips his feet into a pair of loafers. "I'm leaving now. Don't appear in front of me again, or you will regret it. "

He walks out the door, just as another explosion hits, this one closer than any that had come before it. He falls back and crashes into the ground. The bed slides across the room stopping only once it slams into the far wall.
