"Uncle Koz!? Is...is that really you?" Kozmotis Pitchiner, sat by the Pooka and nodded in confirmation.
"Aster? Do you know what happened? I remember opening the prison cell, but the rest is a blur. In fact, the only two things I remember is that the colour of my skin had changed, and that just a while ago, I was being controlled by the Fearlings."
Aster explained everything that had happened since Kozmotis became Pitch Black. How North, Tooth and himself were made Guardians alongside the Sandman to defeat him. How a few months back he returned and Jack Frost became the newest addition to the group. How, even though he was defeated again, he came back on Jack's birthday and brainwashed him. How they found out that Jack is his own younger brother. How they found out that Cherry was his twin. How they found out they were both his children. Suddenly, Kozmotis' memory kicked back in painfully. He remembered why he kidnapped both the twins as Pitch Black.
Pitch was extremely upset. His son had died saving his step-sister. He had drowned in the lake. He was about to go and start spreading Nightmares when a message appeared in front of him. It was in the Multi-verse Tube. He had invented it as Kozmotis Pitchiner to send messages to other universes or during other times or both. For example if you lived on Mars in 2013 you could send a message to someone living on Earth in 1066.
Anyway, Pitch sat down with the message. He wondered what his wife had sent him this time. He knew that she didn't ever listen to the messages. She would just try and fix it and end up making a mess of it. A rare smile adorned his face as he heard his wife's voice.
"Hello Kozmotis. I hope you are you alright. My..my baby boy's gone. Why did you leave me? I only have his twin and Cherry doesn't even know. I was planning on telling them both on their next birthday but...now Jackson has left without knowing. I feel horrible. Why did you help me with my groceries Kozmotis? You changed my life. But I can't even see the one I love the most anymore. Our only way of communication is with this tube. And don't correct me in your next message. You may of been transformed into Pitch Black, but to me you'll forever be my Kozmotis. I thought you may be upset about Jackson so there is a recording of Cherry right after this. I don't know what it says but I doubt it is anything to worry about. I hope it helps you as much as it helps me see her."
After Pitch heard Cherry's unknowingly done recording, he would disagree with Amelia and that woman was a scary person to disagree with. It WAS something to worry about and it DIDN'T help him with the loss of his son.
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU KNOW YOU ARE FORBIDDEN TO TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! I DON'T CARE IF YOUR ONLY FRIEND IS DEAD! IT SERVES YOU RIGHT! YOU DON'T DESERVE ANYONE'S FRIENDSHIP!"
In between each sentence there was a sound resembling that of a whip. Pained screams accompanied each lash. Occasionally, there was a desperate plea.
"...please! I didn't mean it...please stop...I'm sorry..."
The lashes stopped and Cherry's adoptive mother left the room. Pitch was ready to stop the message when he heard one more sentence.
"I wish I knew my dad."
That made Pitch determined to do whatever it took. Even if it meant pleading to the MiM to turn his only daughter into a spirit. Little did he know, the MiM would answer him and he would be reunited not only with his only daughter but his only son.
Kozmotis looked to the 2 children sleeping in front of himself and Aster. It was then that it clicked and when it did the 2 woke up. They looked at Kozmotis and unknowingly asked "Dad?"
He nodded and his 2 children hugged him tightly. Finally, they had found their father and he had found his children. And they were never leaving each other again.
