6 years later…..: Gregor's POV
Gregor is now nineteen and he lives on his family's farm. Gregor had lived a sad but normal life after coming back from the underland. His scars had mostly faded after he used all of the medicine. His family was back to normal. Gregor's dad was now fully healed and could work his job of being a teacher at the local school. His mom didn't allow anyone to bring up the underland for fear that it would affect boots who did not remember anything at all about the underland but for some reason she called bugs that she found "temp" or "tick." Gregor had finished high school at nineteen because of the school that he missed in GTO. Now his parents were trying to get him excited for college but Gregor was not at all happy even his friends couldn't cheer him up. Gregor had saved up money during high school for a car but he did not have enough yet. Gregor knew that if he had enough money he would buy his car buy gas and head straight back to New York. Although Gregor really didn't know whether he was living in reality or a dream because of all the things that he had seen and things that he had done. Gregor felt certain the Underland wasn't a dream and that Luxa who he had loved was still there.
Gregor was walking around his town in Virginia thinking of painful memories of when Ares who had been his bond died in front of him. Gregor was angered because he was the one who was supposed to die not Ares. "stupid prophecy it couldn't have said that both me and Ares would die together because at least then I wouldn't feel pain for Ares" then Gregor swore to himself because he knew Ares would have wanted him to survive and let him die just as he wanted when Gregor was tried for treason after not killing the bane in the labyrinth. Gregor had just turned the corner to find the local ice cream shop full of business. The store owner who's name was Bud. "hey Gregor I need help running the store and I will pay you for help!" Bud called out. Gregor rushed over to him and said "I accept I will call my parents and tell that I am working" Gregor called his parents and told them what he was doing even though he figured he was a grown man and he didn't need to tell his parents everything about his life. "This is the perfect opportunity I can earn money for my car because there are at least forty people here!" Gregor thought. It was true there were many tourists from the Northern USA crowding around the store because apparently this was their rest stop and once one person tried the ice cream and liked it the whole pack came storming over. Gregor worked hard and all through the night as more and more tourists showed up. Gregor was serving ice cream and sundaes and other junk food. At the end of the night both Bud, Gregor and the other few employees were exhausted. There were tourists who fell asleep at the tables and were woken up to be shuffled back to their cars and busses. Bud then called the group together and divided up the money. In the single night alone they had mad 1,200 dollars with over 500 tourists showing up. Their were six of them so they split the money into sixths which left Gregor with 200$. "Wow that is a lot of money" his dad said once Gregor got home which was 11:00 at night which meant that his mother and sisters were all asleep. "You worked hard their son i am proud to have you as my son" His dad proclaimed. "Thanks dad" then Gregor stumbled to his room and fell asleep.
6 years later: Luxa's POV
Luxa had lived a sad life. Luxa was now the Queen and she was almost nineteen. Luxa knew that if she did not find a suitable husband then she would be forced to marry by the new council which included Vikus, Mareth and a few others. With Ripred as her bond she had turned into an excellent Queen. She had made a nonaggression pact with the cutters. They had formed a pact with the gnawers and even settled a land for the nibblers to have the diggers had their own lands and mainly stuck to themselves as well as the stingers and the spinners. The Flyers were still the Regalians closest allies with Queen Athena in charge and Nike in second in command although she hung around the Regalian palace more than she did with the other bats. Aurora had become friends with Ripred as he too was Luxa's bond. Ripred had mainly stayed away from the humans except for Luxa and Vikus for he preferred the company of other rats as he was the leader of the main rat faction called the Blue Bloods but other factions had been formed with rats who disagreed with Ripred and hated him. Luxa missed Gregor a whole lot and wished that he had come back after all these long years. " I guess he has forgotten me" Luxa said sadly. She tried to keep hope that Gregor was coming back and that he wasn't really gone. Her thoughts made her mad because Gregor told her that he would never forget her and if he had broken his promise than she would never forgive him. Luxa was lying in bed trying to get some peace after settling a disagreement between some angry stingers and angry cutters with Hazard by her side as a translator. A knock at her door made her get up and open it. "Your highness the council wants to meet with you to discuss your marriage I suggest you go to it" The soldier said. " All right I will be their soon tell them that I am coming" the soldier nodded to her and scurried off to tell the council. Luxa hated the council and their talks about marriage the only one she had every liked had been Gregor but she knew that it was her responsibility to follow her kingdoms rules.
