Welcome to the second part of my Aftermath Series. :)
I'm excited to write this because Parker gets to meet the Disney Princesses. :D Enough said. Let's get to it! :)
This fanfic is inspired by PattyCake Productions' new YouTube series, "The Princess Academy".

The first sensation Parker Dooley got, since leaving the mirror portal, was entering a lush, green forest. The smell of dew drops filled the air, making Parker feel more at home here than anywhere else.
Parker was a dragonoid with a dragon-like head and a lizard-like body. He retained some humanoid features, but he had no wings. His snout was short with a tip at the end, facing upwards towards the sky. His yellow eyes were rather cat-like. He had long, furry, red ears and short, curved, grey horns. His scales were light red and sleek, while he had a thin, muscular frame. His claws were black and almost fingernail-like, while his black spikes ran from his back all the way down to his medium-sized tail, which curled around his feet.
The clothes he wore today were a tan shirt, red suspenders, and brown breeches that ran close to his ankles.
If he were in his human-hobbit form, Parker would have fair elven features; lighter-than-usual skin, much like Frodo Baggins' skin was like; bright blue eyes that reminded Parker of the sky; short, pointy ears; and soft, thick, curly brown hair that rested on his head and the tops of his feet. In a way, Parker looked very much like Frodo in his human-hobbit form, as well as his great-grandson Terrence Dooley, probably because they were all lookalikes in some form or rather.
Only after Parker forced Frodo to forget he ever met him, back when they made a short trip to Earth, Parker and Terrence followed the Great Lion Aslan's lead, traveling through a mirror portal, leaving the Chesapeake Manor behind. It was Frodo who admitted he was a descendant of Parker and Terrence, which shocked them. Parker wouldn't forget Frodo's bravery for facing him, and who could blame the poor gentle-hobbit? Parker couldn't, and yet here he was wanting to ensure that no harm came to the timeline, all thanks to Frodo's actions.
Not long ago, Parker lost his human wife, Eliza Bowler-Dooley, to a losing fight against the Sith Emperor Vitiate. Parker hated the Sith Emperor for what he did to his wife and to his daughter-in-law's mother Janet, also a shapeshifter. The only thing Parker regained, since becoming the evil/grey dragonoid Maranguan, from that fight against Vitiate was earning the chance to become whole again. He thanked his daughter-in-law Anabeth for her bravery during that fight, literally stabbing the Ice Queen's icicle on his back to cure Parker from his wicked self.
It was a group effort that he surely wouldn't forget. But now, his journey to the Light Side had only just begun, and it was Frodo who slowed them down. Or was it Aslan that caused Parker to become confused? Maranguan still haunted his thoughts. If Parker had the chance, he'd eradicate any chance of becoming evil again. Sadly, some things weren't meant to last.
Parker was left with no choice, except to live life without his wife and his son Maxin Dooley, who died recently from old age. Now, Parker was in a new world, with no idea where he was or if he would ever see his great-grandson, Terrence Dooley, again.
At last, Parker made his way out of the forest, heading directly to a castle with lots of towers and turrets. It was strange that a grey castle was here, with its own kingdom. Parker wasted no time entering the castle's courtyard. He had to see what was going and whether he could find a way to reach Kyrria, the land where Ella of Frell and Slannen of Pim were traveling through to reach the next point on their journey, whatever that journey may take them.
The castle's courtyard, past the gate and the wooden drawbridge, was huge with a dirt ground, as well as a market with so many booths, including a smithy where the blacksmiths were busy crafting weapons. Parker stared at the smithy for a moment, wondering how it was done.
"Excuse me," one of the soldiers, wearing grey armor and a grey helmet, stopped Parker in his tracks, "what are you doing?" The soldier glared at him, pulling out his sword. "Dragons! They don't belong here!"
"This one does!" said a princess wearing a red bow over her ebony hair, her skin was white as snow, her lips red as the rose, and she was donned in a blue and yellow gown with puffy sleeves. Parker was mesmerized by this girl and her light-hearted voice. "I'm Snow White. How do you do, kind sir?"
"Parker Dooley," Parker said, kissing her hand. "You'll have to forgive me, Snow. I'm not used to being here. Maybe you could show me around."
"Well done, Parker," Eliza's voice drowned out Parker's thoughts, making him stumble for a few seconds. "You're flirting with a princess. I guess you've moved on."
"Eh…" Parker's heart cried out in joy upon hearing Eliza's voice. Oh, he wanted to be with her again!
"Well, come on." Snow got his attention. "We'll get you settled in."
"For what?" Parker asked, stunned when Snow led him into the castle.
.
The inside of the castle was huge. The foyer was grand with its soft red rugs, as well as purple banners showing a gold crown on each banner. Parker wondered just what life was like in a palace. Perhaps he wouldn't know, but then he had been Emperor of the Shadow Empire for a brief time and had his own pearly-white temple. A temple was nothing compared to this castle. So, this was new territory.
At last, Parker and Snow turned the corner, entering a room that looked more like a sitting room with soft couches and chairs. To Parker's surprise, there were so many princesses here, talking and doing other activities. One of the princesses was reading a hardcover book, lost in her own adventures, as many as the book could give her.
"Ah, Parker Dooley," a princess with short blonde hair put up, as well as wearing a white headband and dressed in a blue ballgown, presented herself before the light red dragonoid. "I'm Cinderella and it's time for you to have a lesson on the Light Side of the Force."
