ago. Lola has been hunting for answers to Dougal’s curse throughout their travel and it wasn’t until four days ago that they were given a clue to a real cure. Lola prays that she breaks Dougal’s curse and set him free. For three years she had been traveling with him never losing faith.
    Lola had many chances to marry someone of high class in Centra. She had many opportunities to settle down and never have to work again or sleep in Inns and hotels but all she wanted was to be with Dougal. The love of her life. She was not going to give up until he stood on two legs and looked at her with blue eyes. She was not going to give up until she could stroke his long blonde hair again and kiss him like she did the first time under a cherry tree. Pretty soon my love , Lola told herself. She slides down the slope of the roof and with an air spell she spun and fell with ease like a feather and landed gently on the second floor balcony of the Inn.
    Lola rushed inside the inn to her room. She pushed opened the first door of the hall to the right. Inside stood Jazelle combing her long black hair in front of a mirror next to the bed. Jazelle looked at Lola in surprise. “I thought you had left me all alone.” Said Jazelle. “I woke up and you and Dougal were gone.”
    “My dear.” Lola told her. “I must go to the capital city today. I will return before midnight.”
    “Oh I see” Jazelle turned to the bed and lifted Lola’s rod. “You will need this.” She tossed the rod to Lola. The dark magus caught it and spun it playfully. The rod was black with bat wings at the end and an onyx gemstone embed on top. It was the rod she reclaimed from her old master who had stolen it from her. The rod helped Lola control her dark magic and enhanced it.
    “Come here my dear.” Lola beckons her friend. Jazelle paces to Lola and she hugs her ever so tightly with each other’s head side to side. They then face each other gently, eyes close and kissed. They pull away, eyes moist and lips wet. Jazelle wipes Lola’s lower lip painted red. “Does he know?” Jazelle asks nervously. “Worry not. He will understand.” Lola says and pulls away giving Jazelle a peck on the lips and rubs her cheek. 
    Lola exits the room and walks down the hall, frowning and yet no regret. Oh great Omegus, I hope Dougal forgives me for my sins but I must satisfy the needs of my flesh till he can hold me in his arms again. My love I promise I will do everything in my power to break your curse . She goes down the stairs and when she reaches the first floor she notices Dougal waiting for her by the entrance as civilians walk in. As she is walking towards the wolf, he stands up and exits the inn. She runs after him. I feel as though he is avoiding me .
    Outside on the sloping streets, people walked by gracefully in wagons and on horsebacks. The streets in the south section are not as crowded as the other parts of the city which is why Lola stays in these areas. Many wealthy people lived in Centra. It is hard to live in the capital without money. Lola was able to afford staying nights and weeks in inns and hotels with the odd jobs that she does for wealthy men and woman. She was paid handsomely since her magic was great as well as Dougal.
    The black wolf stood outside on the sidewalks of the cobblestone streets. “What is wrong with you today? You’ve been pissy and distant.”
    “I am a wolf. A cursed creature. I don’t expect you to understand?” Dougal answered and ignored her.
    “You can still speak like a human so why don’t you tell me what’s been bothering you?”
    “People will think you are crazy talking to a wolf.” Dougal said. “Let’s go.”
    Lola surveyed her surroundings and noticed as people walked by they gave her strange looks and winces. She never talks to Dougal in public otherwise people would think she is insane. People were not disturbed by the black wolf although his ram horns were odd and unusual. Some had mistaken Dougal to be a
