Thank you to everyone who reviewed for the last chapter and to everyone who's been reading, I hope this update came fast enough. Because the next chapter will be the last, for all the guest reviewers please ask any questions that you have and I will answer them at the beginning of the next chapter. I hope that this chapter can help clear up confusions and if not, feel free to ask questions.

Once there was a King of the Abyss. This King ruled for a long, long time. Compared to his predecessors, he was strong in power and in mind. The Core of the Abyss couldn't corrode his mind as easily as it did to the former rulers. Under his rule, there was a balance between the darkness of the Abyss and the light of the Blessing of the Sun. It was neither an era of peace nor was it an age of chaos, yet both sides remained satisfied with those conditions.

However, there are always forces threatening to disrupt the balance.

10 years ago, the former King of the Abyss grew weak. People sacrificed precious life in his name. Others tried to destroy him by purifying the very Abyss. There was far too much pressure on his body and he couldn't handle it as light and dark fought.

The King was tired of the constant conflict and lonely, so very lonely. He knew that if he continued like this, his body would become nothing more than a vessel and he would lose all sanity, only to lose his mind into the darkness like those before him. Then what? What would happen if he loses himself?

… He knew the answer, he just didn't want to think about it. If someone didn't replace him, the Core would go wild and destroy everything. Nothing would be left. He couldn't let the darkness win, but he couldn't destroy it.

So he called out to the only girl who could hear him. That girl used to live in this house with her family, but since her parents ascended the throne, they went to live in the palace. Still, she came to this house, hidden away from the world in a once beautiful forest, because this was her first home. The forest was stripped into nothing but harmful glass fragments by the Abyss yet she still came to remember the happy times in that house.

She was a princess of the Sun. If she had even a shard of Princess Grace's might, she could survive this.

"Please! I'm begging you!" he pleaded the next time she came to visit him, despite knowing the burden she would have, but she is the only one he could rely on in the current circumstances. In all honesty, he doesn't want to do this to her, but it's either her or thousands.

He doesn't want to do this.

Another pang of pain throbbed in his chest, sharper than the last. He's reaching his limit! He can't let the Core overtake him!

"Please…" he sobbed out quietly as he held onto the mirror in front of him. "Please be Queen."

The small girl reached out for his hand, although the mirror in between them prevented them from touching each other. "It's ok. You don't have to be lonely anymore." The girl smiled to try to cheer him up. "We're friends, right?"

Her smile was radiant, making him only feel worse about the situation. Just how many people was he taking her away from? "I'm sorry…" he whispered as chains emerged from himself to wrap around the girl. "I'm so sorry."

His body began fading as she was pulled to meet him on the other side of the mirror. "Everything's going be alright, so don't cry? You don't have to be alone anymore, so don't cry. "

Before he seeped into the chains now bounding her to this place, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Fine."

"Thank you again for helping me out," Rein bowed as she greeted everyone. Surprisingly, everyone was relatively supportive of her goal to rescue Fine and no one has yet to tell their parents about these expenditures. Though when they saw that Shade was back, they weren't exactly ecstatic, but at least they understood. Milky, however, still has a few issues with his sudden return.

"What are you saying Rein?" Altezza questioned, "Aren't we all friends?"

"Yes, but it's selfish of me to ask this much."

"Nonsense, we've all troubled you in the past as well," Mirlo insisted. Some more than others, others not too often.

"That's right! It's a prince's duty to help out his friends in whatever way he can!" Tio declared as he dramatically spun around the forest.

"Tio, don't spin around too much or we'll have to bandage you up again," Lione warned. Because Tio had fallen several times yesterday after he tried to crawl up the glass trees (they were far too fragile for someone to be able to climb them).

"Is this time any better?" Auler asked.

The Seed Princesses shook their heads. Normally, if this was normal soil and if normal plants were growing here, they would be able to tell where a building or a person could be, but this place was similar to the dark forest.

"There's still something blocking us from hearing the roots."

"To begin with, we're not even sure if there are roots for these trees."

"These trees seem like they're already dead."

"Should we split up into groups so we can get through more ground faster?" Solo suggested. Since they're already used to the terrain and not investigating independently, it sounds logical. "We can divide into groups of with at least 3 people so it's safe."

"That sounds like a good idea," Rein agreed. "But how will we communicate with each other?"

"In that case, Altezza and I have some communicators that we brought over," Bright answered as he held up said objects. "Just make sure you push down on the button when you talk into it. Each group will get one."

They divided into groups, most going towards those they knew the best, however there was still a certain complication between the children of the Moon Kingdom. Milky had been quiet until this point, but she was very insistent on being near her brother.

"I want to go with you," Milky stated clearly and frankly.

"Milky, go with Sophie, Altezza and Auler," Shade requested.

"I want to go with you, Onii-sama," Milky protested quietly. She still doesn't have her previous vigor but that's probably because she doesn't know how to act around her beloved brother right now.

"No. You'll get hurt." Because she'll want to focus on other things between her and him. "There are a lot of glass shards around. If you're not careful, then you'll get cut like Tio."

"It's like that everywhere in this place. I'll be careful," she insisted, trying to look stronger by looking directly into his eyes.

"Milky, please…" Shade pleaded quietly as he looked down. He knows that if they're near each other, it wouldn't be good for anyone. If they're near each other, then there's a large chance that they'll focus on other things and now's not a good time to talk..

Milky looked down and clenched her skirt. "Are you going to leave again?" she whispered out, fearfully.

"I'm sorry." He couldn't say those words enough. Even if he wasn't there when Milky was crying and screaming for him, he knows that she did, he knows that she was in pain because of him, he knows that he made her remember something terrible again. For that, he's sorry, but that situation just had to wait. "I promise that I'll return home after Fine returns to Rein."

"Is she really that important to you?" Even though she didn't say everything, Shade knew her unsaid question. Milky didn't ask because she was afraid to know, to know whether family or a lover was more important.

"Judge her after you meet her, but I won't leave like Father did." She didn't speak. She didn't need to speak. Her eyes spoke and he knew that she didn't believe those words. "It might not mean anything coming from me, but that girl doesn't want to be alone."

Rein's heart sank a little. Shade's eyes spoke too, knowing of Fine's sorrows. She had to go free Fine as soon as possible. She had to save her sister or else—

"Rein," Bright called out gently. "Are you alright? You were spacing out again."

Rein insisted, "I'm alright! I just...Thinking about getting Fine back."

Because there were… issues.

Sure, it was all good and fine that she a motivation to get her sister back, but in the end, how exactly was she supposed to do that? Shade said that the light inside of her would open the door to Fine, but what was she supposed to do after that? She hardly knew anything about the conditions that Fine was facing inside of the Abyss and how was she supposed to dethrone Fine?

Was she supposed to defeat her sister? If they had to fight then Rein doesn't want bring Fine anymore pain, but how would she get Fine out?

"Shade?" Rein called out after Milky finally abide to Shade's request. Shade turned his head. "Um…" Was she stupid for forgetting to ask something obvious or something that she was already supposed to know?

But Shade seemed to understand well enough. "Sorry. I forgot to tell you something important. Didn't I?" So even he can get distracted. "On Fine's head, there's a black crystal crown. I think that's her link to the Abyss, so if you can get it off her, I think she can leave."

"Is that so?"

"Sorry that I don't know a definite way of letting her come back."

"No. You've already helped more than enough." In so many ways. Rein couldn't thank him enough. "Do you really think that I can save her?"

They stopped and Bright asked, "Are you having second thoughts?" Rein looked down. "Do you want to talk about it for a bit?"

"But, we should be looking for the door. Right Shade?"

"If you're hesitant about this and we find the mirror right now, then what are you going to do?" Shade pointed out. She was afraid he was going to say that. "You want to meet her again right?"

"Of course I want to meet her again!"

"Then what's the problem?"

Rein looked down. "What if I hurt her?" Bright and Shade looked at her as though she grew an ear on the top of her head. "Even if she's my sister and has my same powers, Fine is still the Queen of the Abyss so there's darkness in her isn't there?"

"Yes…" Rein won't be able to forgive herself if she brings Fine anymore pain.

"If I try to get the Abyss out of her, won't it hurt her?"

Shade thought about it for a moment. "I see two ways," he concluded. "Your light can react with hers to make her power stronger and that way Fine can save herself. Or your light will get rid of whatever darkness resounds in her body and it will hurt her in the process."

So there's still a chance.

"But if you have that desire to not harm her, then wouldn't your power follow that desire?" Bright pointed out. "Rein, you don't want to hurt your sister right?" Rein nodded. "Then as long as you think like that, I don't think that you can hurt her."

"I hope so… It's just that I feel like there are a lot of things that could go wrong."

"If you keep thinking like that then something will go wrong," Shade put bluntly.

"Shade. That was too blunt," Bright pointed out. "Instead of thinking what could go wrong, why don't you think about it going right? It's bad if you keep thinking about this negatively. You have to be positive."

"Think about bringing Fine home," Shade suggested after Bright nudged him a little for encouragement.

"Think about how happy Queen Elsa and King Truth will be after you're all together again," Bright offered. "You were always lonely in the castle and it sounds like she was the same. Think of how happy you'll be to have your sister with you again."

"Happy?"

"Won't you be happy?"

"Yes." Of course she would be happy. Happy that Fine would be here and regretful that she couldn't have done anything to get her back sooner.

"Then there's no problem. You just need to believe in yourself Rein." Bright smiled to encourage her.

Yes, Rein just had to believe in her power and think positively. Or else, she wouldn't be herself, now would she? Rein gave them a small smile. "Thank you. Now let's look for that house!"

"Queen?" Alice called out. The girl became so quiet all of a sudden. Was she missing Shade again? She has been depressed because of that, but would she be this quiet? "Fine?"

"Get away!" Fine demanded as a black aura seeped out of her. Isn't that—?

The burst of energy forced Alice back far away from Fine. Because no matter how powerful Alice was, this is still the Queen's territory and the Queen's word is absolute. A scream of torture pierced the ground, cracking it slightly, but not enough for the floor to be unstable.

As soon as Alice could process what happened, she immediately started running towards the girl clutching onto her chest. "Fine! Are you alright? Where does it hurt?"

"L-Lonely…" she mumbled out. "Where did everyone go?" A tear streamed down her cheek. Suddenly she flailed around, screaming her lungs out. "IT HURTS! STOP IT!"

"Fine!"

How many more times is this going to happen? Sure, the Queen going into an attack isn't unheard of, but it's been happening more often. Has her body finally reached her limit of controlling the opposing forces?

"C-Cold, why is it so cold?!" Yet a light was shining in Fine's chest, warm and radiant, though that didn't change the fact that Fine was shivering so much. Another throb against her chest made her feel like she was burning. "Hot! What is this feeling!"

As her body temperature continuously changes, light and dark continue to fight for dominance within Fine. Fine writhed in pain as she faced the cold of darkness and creatures from the upper levels of the Abyss lurked down, surrounding her in her weak state.

"Get away from her!" Alice commanded as the creatures instantly disappeared. Normally, they wouldn't be able to even reach the depths of the Abyss, Fine's power is weakening too much. If this continues, Fine—

"Alice…" Fine called out weakly. "Does everyone hate me? Is that why they keep leaving?" Fine began tearing up. "If I promise to be good, will they stay? What do I have to do for them to love me? What do I have to do so they don't leave me?"

"No one hates you," she whispered as she held the girl close. She wasn't as good as Shade, but it couldn't hurt to try. "You are not a bad girl. You are wonderful. No one wanted to leave you. No one will leave you anymore. They're coming to get you soon."

She sniffled and looked up. Her red eye was growing darker as each second passed, coming closer to match her other eye. The Core of the Abyss is overpowering her. "Really?"

"I wouldn't lie to you."

She smiled in hope. "I'll get to see them soon?"

"Yeah. I swear you're going to see everyone you love soon."

"I'm so happy…" she mumbled, beginning to lose consciousness, "I can't wait to see everyone again." The memories of her processors are slipping in again, making her weaker. If this continues, then the Abyss, the core of the Abyss, will overtake her and destroy her humanity. If Rein didn't hurry, then Fine will never return and everything until this point will be for naught!

Alice whispered, "Come, Daughter of Light."

The 11 Seed Princesses felt something rumble in the ground. They could hear the roots! But there wasn't a need to tell Rein. The place that Rein sought out has appeared right in front of her. The mirror was glowing.

"I'll definitely bring her back!" Rein declared as she ran into the mirror.

The second she was on the other side, she was greeted by nothing but darkness and cold. This is the Abyss? She couldn't see a thing! But it wouldn't do any good if she just stayed here.

"Shine," she whispered as she focused her power into a ball of light.

The light ball flew around and Rein followed it, but there was nothing. It was empty and dark no matter which direction she looked in. Compared to the bright, bustling place that she called home, it felt so much lonelier. How many years did Fine have to spend in a place like this while Rein was surrounded by light?

Something glimmered in the darkness, catching her attention. And thrashing noises soon followed. What was that?

"Illuminate."

In an instant Rein could see everything in front of her. There were only two things that she could see. The first was the checkerboard patterned floor. The second was something far more terrible. Rein saw chains, so many chains all linking up at one point, or rather to one person.

"Fine…," she whispered out.

What were those chains? Black crystals were embedded in her body, the same crystals that made up that crown of hers. Fine's eyes flashed open, revealing her mismatching eyes but her red eye had a rim of black around it, and she thrashed around with the chains restricting her. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD! STOP IT!"

"Fine!" Rein called out.

"R-Rein?" Her eyes were glazed over as though she couldn't see anything. "Rein?" Tears streamed down from her eyes as she clutched onto the chains on her wrist. "No, that can't be right… Because, because Rein is…"

"I'm right here, Fine!"

But her words couldn't get through.

"Stop it." Her tears dripped down onto the floor. "Just stop lying to me…," she pleaded. "I swore that I would be Queen. I promised that person that I wouldn't let the Abyss take over so stop torturing me. Please."

"Fine!"

"JUST STOP IT!"

Rein dashed over the cracks through the shaking ground towards her sister. The chains were gripping onto Fine tighter and tighter yet Rein continued forward. "I'M RIGHT HERE!"

Suddenly, Fine could see and looked down. Rein was right in front of her. Not some illusion, but her twin. Her voice became faint."R-Rein? Why? Why are you here? You need to get out! You can't be here!"'

If she's this close and Fine loses herself to the Core, then Rein would become the next Queen!

"I'm going to save you Fine!" Rein shouted as she grabbed onto the chains. The chains were too strong. She didn't want to force the chains off or else she would come close to harming Fine.

"Stop it Rein!"

"I'm not leaving without you, Fine," Rein declared, pulling out her compact. She had to believe in her power, she had to protect Fine, she had to bring her back home. Her compact reformed into a staff. "Prominence! Save my twin!"

Something in Fine's chest glew alongside of Rein's staff. But the crown on her head emitted a dark aura that rivaled the light. The clash of lights blinded Rein, but she kept her stance and raised the staff higher as she tried to feed it more power.

"Rein-sama, hurry up please! Everyone at the party is waiting for you!" Camelot reminded.

"I'll be right there!" Rein blinked and looked down at the pretty white and blue dress she was wearing. Rein shook her head to get rid of any lingering absentmindedness. Huh… She must have been spacing out again.

"Rein-sama!"

"Coming!" she called out. The walk to the ballroom was short and she could hear all the excited people.

"Presenting, Princess Rein," she heard her father announce as she walked through the doors. Everyone cheers for her, smiling brightly. "Tonight, let's celebrate! Music!"

Rein turns her head to the right a little, somehow feeling lonely. Wasn't someone supposed to be there next to her? And what was this party for again?

Bright soon approached her. "Rein, would you mind dancing with me?" Rein looked up at him. He was smiling as always, but his eyes looked a little empty. "Rein? Do you not want to dance?"

Rein shook her head and took his hand. "Of course I want to dance with you." It's probably just her imagination.

They fall into the same rhythm they always have, nothing seems out of place. But as she dances with him, it feels cold and distant. As though he's not even alive. When he smiles, she returns it feeling a little empty.

Shouldn't she feel happier in front of the person she loves?

"My, Onii-sama, aren't you two as close as ever?" Altezza teased lightly. Bright blushed a light pink.

"A-Altezza, w-won't you dance with me?" Auler asked with his face red. Strange, Auler's face is normally pink. Does he have something important to ask Altezza? Regardless, they went off to dance as the next song began.

"Princess Rein, won't you do me the honor of dancing with me?!" Tio asked, spinning around in a flamboyant manner.

"Tio, if you spin around too much, you'll crash into—"And before she could even finish her sentence, he landed in a large vase. Too late.

"Everything ok, Rein?" Shade asked as he handed her a drink.

"I'm not sure."

"The Abyss is finally gone, aren't you happy?" Shade looked so happy, but Rein couldn't find it in herself to agree and smile with him. Didn't he hate the idea of getting rid of the Abyss? "Rein?"

"Oh sorry, my head was just hurting." Rein quickly placed her hand at her forehead to feign pain. "I'm sure I'll be alright though."

Everything felt so distant. Somewhere in Rein, a voice was screaming that this wasn't right, that this wasn't reality, however the rest of her thought that everything was as it should be. People were clamoring around, happy that the Abyss was gone; she had accomplished her duty as the princess of the Sunny Kingdom.

But something is missing. When she went to defeat the Abyss, wasn't she trying to save someone? Who was the person she tried to save?

Her friends were laughing and smiling about some joke, but Rein remained quiet as she tried to remember how exactly she defeated the Abyss. Why couldn't she remember?

"Rein, are you sure you're feeling alright? Do you need to retire for the night?" the considerate Mirlo asked gently.

"No, I swear I'm fine."

For a second, Rein saw chains and black crystals embedded into otherwise porcelain white skin. Her head throbbed in pain. In another instance she saw a single eye that should be red, but gradually turning black. Her eyes widened in realization.

How could she forget? Fine!

Rein looked around. Fine was nowhere in sight and Shade didn't even bring her up earlier. What was going on? Everything is all wrong.

"Rein?" Bright called out.

"This isn't right," she muttered out.

"Rein?"

"Where am I?"

His bright smile remained, but it looked forced and unnatural. "What are you talking about? We're in the Sunny Kingdom Castle, of course. We're celebrating—"

"Where's Fine?" Rein demanded, with her voice growing stronger, "Where's my sister?!"

Everything suddenly felt cold as Rein watched their bright smiling faces melt into something rancid. Rein felt freezing and terrified at the sight. Adrenaline pumped into her blood as she immediately headed for the door as she ran for her life. Was that the Core or the Abyss' power?

The glittering replica of her home soon followed the same fate as her identical 'friends', melting into darkness. Rein turned a corner and hid as she caught her breath. What should she do? She's outnumbered and doesn't know where she is, what can she do in this situation?

Rein felt something slim onto her and noticed that even these walls were beginning to decay into more creatures of the Abyss. A gooey, snake like creature coiled around her ankle, making it difficult for her to move.

"Let go of me!" Rein commanded as she searched for her compact. Where was that thing?! She couldn't have dropped it earlier, could she?

The snake took Rein's distracted and flustered stated to wrap itself around higher, taking in both of her legs, immobilizing her. Rein did her best to try to kick off the creature but to no avail. All she could do was struggle.

"Stop it!" She still had to get Fine back!

Rein heard a faint voice yell, "Leave her alone!"

Something shone inside of Rein, nearly blinding her. In an instant, the goo dispersed around her, allowing her for an opportunity to run. Rein felt something warm in her chest as she could feel her power manifest into her hands. She could feel it, Fine was somewhere in this hideous illusion.

Where? Where could Fine be?

More monsters began crawling and lurking towards her, giving Rein barely any time to think. Her muscles were screaming for relief, but she knew if she stopped, it would be all over. At every side and every corner, there were monsters lurking around. Even if she closes a door, it did absolutely nothing to help give her time to think.

Still, where could she be?

Answering her questions was her twin's voice.

"Rein!"

"We'll never leave each other alone, right?"

"It's a promise! Pinky swear!"

Pink hair swayed in the air as flower petals danced alongside the strands.

The flower garden!

Where could she get out? Rein turned her head in every direction, searching for a door, a window, anything that would lead her to that place. In this 'perfect' illusion, there had to be something. Rein looked down at her still glowing fingertips. What if she used her power to force open a door to where she wanted to go?

Rein picked up her speed and headed deeper down the halls, before coming upon a door. The monsters slowed down in their pursuits of her but increased in numbers, she probably couldn't escape them again. This has to work.

Rein breathed in and hoped for the best. "I want to find Fine," she whispered out as she gripped onto the door handle. Slowly, she opened it right as the monsters crept in then closed it as soon as she was on the other side.

Rein breathed out in relief as she looked around at her surroundings. Bright pastel flowers everywhere she turned. It was beautiful…

Her head snapped focused at the sound of tears. Despite her exhausted legs, Rein stood and walked towards the noise.

"Fine?" she called out, hesitantly. This could be another monster. "Fine is that you?"

"Yes," the girl mumbled out. Fine looked exactly like in Rein's vague memories. But instead of smiling her eyes were puffy with tears. She sniffled as she looked up at Rein.

"Why are you crying?" Rein asked, worriedly.

"Everyone's gone. They don't want me around anymore. Is it because I wanted to go back to our old house? Is it because I was selfish and wanted Father and Mother to play with us all the time? They probably hate me," she sobbed out.

Something in Rein began twisting and crying alongside Fine. "Fine, no one hates you."

Fine put her head back down into her knees and whimpered out, "E-Even you disappeared."

Rein's eyes widened, but she couldn't do anything to deny Fine's words because they were right. She remembered not wanting to go with Fine back to that old house because there were other things she wanted to do. She remembered times where she would take a nap instead of explore with Fine. She remembered times when they could have been together, but Rein chose not to be together.

Tears began streaming down Rein's cheeks. Rein felt herself quivering as she said, "I'm sorry, Fine. I am so sorry." Sorry for letting her suffer for this long. Sorry for not remembering. Sorry for not being there.

And on and on.

What was wrong with her? Rein didn't want to be alone, but she left Fine alone. What kind of sister was she? She was a terrible twin and she owed her sister so much.

But it wasn't too late to make everything right again.

"I'm not going to leave you alone again, I swear," Rein assured as she hugged Fine tighter. "Everyone misses you."

Fine sniffled. "Really?"

"Shade, Mother, and Father are all waiting to see you again. And this time I swear that we're going to be together as much as possible. So let's go home, ok Fine?"

Fine's lips curved into a weak smile. "Ok."

The flowers began to shine and scatter as Fine's childlike body grew right before Rein's eyes. When the flowers disappeared, Rein saw the Abyss as it was with its checkerboard floors. Only this time, Fine wasn't up in chains. The crown was shattered on the floor. Her hair returned it its original pinkish roots and her eyes matched her hair perfectly.

Fine smiled and hugged her sister. "I missed you so much!"

"We've gotta get out of here," Rein reminded. "Can you run?"

"I can try." They tried to run, but something snagged onto Fine's long hair. Chains crept up along her hair. The Abyss was trying to reclaim its queen. "Let go of me!"

"Fine!" Rein tried to release her power and pull on Fine, but it was taking everything she had just to stand. She didn't even know if she could even make it to the mirror.

A familiar figure with a sword sliced Fine's hair, releasing her from the chains. Wasn't that Alice? Was she planning on keeping Fine here?

But Alice didn't play any tricks as she shouted, "Run!"

Rein didn't need to be prompted twice as she held onto Fine's hand tighter and lead them towards the mirror that brought her here.

"Thank you!" Fine called out.

Alice smiled as Fine ran out with a smile. The mirror gleamed white as the twins existed. Finally… Everything has finally fallen into place and the two halves of the light have been reunited. Alice looked down at the shards of the black crown with a faint smile.

"From this crystal, return the form of the previous King," Alice commanded as magic surrounded the crystal pieces, forming a man with dark blue hair and gray eyes. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered, "Alex."

"Who are you?" She hit him for joking around. "I'm sorry! It's just that the girl I fell in love with didn't have platinum curls and blue eyes," he told her, running his fingers through her hair. As he moved through her hair, the blonde glew into a pure white and right before his eyes, the form he recognized stood there. "Beautiful ivory hair as white as the purest moon with eyes—"

"As dark as this place?" It felt far too long since she's been in her true form. Abnormal almost. After all, 'Alice' only existed for that girl to get used to this twisted wonderland.

"As deep as the beautiful night sky," he finished, looking straight into the eyes that he's been longing for. "My precious Moon." He kissed her forehead. "Let us finish destroying that fate." In his hands was a small, small bit of light. Light from inside of Fine that continuously fought for her sanity as darkness wanted to overtake her.

"May this dimension fall."

"May this evil become small and scatter."

"May this light illuminate forever."

"May this fate never be written again."

With each phrase the light became stronger and brighter. That bit of light grew to embrace the darkness. The darkness will not disappear. It will simply break down into smaller pieces and spread, but it will never again become one. This way, light and dark can be preserved.

Alex extended his hand towards her. "Shall we go?"

Moon smiled, taking his hand.

Rein and Fine tumbled out onto the ground. Rein recognized the garden and saw that it was already daybreak. Had she been gone for that long? Rein turned to her sister. Then again, Fine's been gone for even longer.

"Fine? Can you stand?"

"I don't think so… Sorry. Ah." Fine looked up at the sky. The dark blue was combining with a gentle orange that she's never seen before. "How beautiful…"

Rein smiled, more than overjoyed to have her sister next to her again. "Here, let's see if I can help you up. There are people who will be thrilled to see you again." Rein slowly got up and tried to support Fine's shoulder as she stood.

"I can't wait any longer! I'm going to search for Rein!" Father!

"Wait, King Truth, please calm down! I'm sure that Rein-sama will be back soon!"

"It's been 3 days! Bring my horse, I'll go by myself if I must!"

"Truth, be reasonable! At least wait until the sun is high!" Mother!

She could see her father hurrying across the garden with her mother following. "Father! Mother!"

Elsa stopped in her steps with wide eyes. She could see her two daughters… Was this a dream? "Rein… Fine…" Truth had stopped as well, just looking in awe at the twins. "Truth, Truth, is that really…?"

His voice was no louder than a whisper. "Fine."

They ran out, not caring about who saw or how ridiculous they looked. They ran out to hug their daughters, happy that they returned home, glad that they were safe, overwhelmed that the place, that empty little place in their hearts, was finally filled again. The sun was rising and their daughters were home. Both of them. What could make any parents happier?

"Fine, Fine, you're home," their mother wailed out.

"We're sorry, we're sorry!"

Everything they've ever held back, every tear that they couldn't show, is pouring out with all their love, sorrow, and relief. The sun has risen, embracing everything in its warm light. The parents who hid the truth and the daughter who forgot the promise have been forgiven and they couldn't think of anything better than having their family together again.

Everyone is crying out in happiness, for the tragedy is over at long last. Now begins an era of bliss and hope.

Fine smiled, crying out tears of joy. "It's so warm."

There is an bird under a name that we both love, flying to this place. This bird is familiar, yet a stranger. It's voice, it's song, reminds one of a distant yet close memory, who's song is it? What is it's true name?

In the end, this riddle was left as a riddle.

As I said before, I own all OCs. Even the other side of my characters.

I've never properly introduced myself, have I? Right now, my penname is xxxMissAlicexxx, my former name, my former account is Moonshine Wish.

Surprised, I'm still alive and existing? Or unbelievable, I'm not her?

If you've never heard of the name, then you probably don't care as to what I'm about to say and just want me to start writing the next chapter. I've already started, so don't worry it'll be out soon enough.

For those of you who recognize the penname, you would know that I was a great writer (At least that's what some people told me); I wrote 19 stories for this dear little fandom and was one of the few who reached over 100 reviews. Of course, my legacy has been passed by my dear friend, cute'lildevil15 along with another writer, Me Myself and Bunny. Congratulations you two!

My reasons for leaving in the first place will be disclosed in the next chapter (if anyone's interested). Until the next chapter.

(If anyone's seen the date I made this account, they wouldn't believe that we're the same person. But let's just say 'Moon' didn't exactly like the fact that she had 29 stories, so she'll be coming back for a one-shot. Very soon.)
