(Violetclaw's P.O.V.)

I set out for HQ as I finished my afternoon shift, outfitted in a pearl pink/violet purple t-shirt with a light red vest, dark blue khakis, and brown sneakers. My hair's in a high ponytail. I whistled happily as I zoomed back in the elevator, greeting warriors here and there.

I saw Sunrise at the portal, having it on, seeming to wait for Baelfire, the newbie, and his mother, one of our senior warriors, Bellheart. I came by her.

"Hey, Sunrise. They coming yet?". I asked patiently.

Sunrise chuckled, "Not yet, apparently Bellheart's explaining the portal's abiltlies to Bae. Any problems on the surface, Violetclaw?".

I shook my head no, then the portal brightened up. "Here they come.". piped Sunrise.

I saw shadows then visible faces, then Baelfire and Bellheart stepped out into HQ.

Bellheart smiled and bowed her head slightly. "Greetings, Sunrise and Violetclaw.

Sunrise chuckled warmly, "Welcome back, Bellheart, and this must be Baelfire. My, look how much you have grown.".

'You know me?' Bae signed surprisingly.

"One of my beloved clanmates has found you in this world, and with consideration, I gave you to Bellheart who was overjoyed to have a baby.". Sunrise smiled softly.

'I knew I was adopted, but I was born here?'. Bae signed curiously.

Sunrise sighed heavily, "Yes, you were, but for your real mother, she stayed with you, yes. But when we found you, she unfortunately passed away. It was a particularly cold night.".

Bae looked stunned then looked at Bellheart, who nodded reluctantly. "Bae, you were saved from that day. You were barely a few months old, and if you weren't found, you might've perished. You are a miracle.".

"Hey, Bell. Your room is still open for Bae if he wants to stay here with us.". I commented casually.

Bellheart nodded with a smile, "Thanks, Violet. Bae, do you want to stay here?".

Bae nodded, 'I want this, mother. It's my wish.' he signed firmly. Bellheart sighed, leaned down to give Bae a loving hug. She whispered something into Bae's ear, and he nodded with a kiss toward his mother's cheek. They separated slowly, and Bellheart gave Sunrise and myself a soft look.

"Please look after him, you two.". She said quietly. I nodded as Sunrise replied back.

"We will, Bellheart. Remember, you are still a warrior, and that never changes.". Sunrise commented wisely. Bellheart nodded and smiled half-heartedly, gave Bae a final look, then she left. The portal opened and closed as she went back home to Paris.

(Baelfire's P.O.V.)

I smiled as I held my necklace, I managed to get my cat carving into the necklace among the crafted sun. It seems fitting, though I feel like something's missing.

"So,". I look up at Sunrise, "You ready for the tour of HQ?". she replied suggestively. I nodded yes, and she smiled, looked at Violetclaw. She looks kinda, I don't know, strange in these funny-looking clothes, through Sunrise wasn't much than that.

I signed, 'I didn't mean to ask, but what are these clothes?'.

Violetclaw piped up gently, "Oh, these are clothes that belong in this world, comfortable and fitting. We wear them such like you and your family, just different times, that's all.". I nodded again, understanding. I followed them, saw rooms of spectacular colors and saw so many different people, skins and clothes so vastly unique.

They led me to my mother's room which was amazing. It had murals of home and so many colors everywhere. Sunrise cleared her throat, "I presume you like it?". I nodded, smiling. "We have two nights a week which shows movies, which are modern plays if you will. And tonight, we are showing your father's story, through I am afraid your mother isn't in there. You see, there are many more worlds beside yours, having different stories and all. One is the modern play here, while another is from a version of a book. Your world simply took a different path with Bellheart guiding it for she's a world-changer, and a portal traveller as well.". She finished wisely.

'And you say I can watch this modern play of my father's story?'. I signed curiously.

Violetclaw nodded, "Yes, if you wish to join us. There's another which is my favorite, right after your father's story finishes.". she finished excitedly.

"Through we usually have dinner before this event begins. Are you hungry for some food? We have plenty of food over in the cafeteria.". Sunrise commented casually. I nodded yes. They led me to this huge food place which they call 'cafeteria'. I saw familiar food through I saw many other exotic food I had never seen before. I was hesitant, but I wanted to fit in with them, so I braved trying what they called, 'spaghetti & meatballs', and 'ratatouille' plus a dessert they called, 'pumpkin pie'. And when I finished, I followed Sunrise and Violetclaw to the secret room besides a huge room. Inside was seats I had never seen before, and sat upon a soft seat in front, being comfortable, and waiting for my father's story to begin.
