Chapter 6
Gideon awakens from his enchanted slumber to see Adrien his inner darkness is still with him and hasn't moved an inch. The two share a look between each other for a movement one of confusion Adrien wondering how Gideon would take that forgotten memory. Gideon then smiles briefly for a moment and Adrien returns a smile of the same calibre.
"We were really friends," Gideon says.
"More than friends" Adrien replied.
"But if the tree door we entered brought us to this Dark One's chamber or part of the Vault how did we create the same door to that meadow like realm,"? Gideon asks Adrien.
"I'm not sure there no way that we could create a small meadow like realm that would completely displace the Vault of the Dark One unless" Adrien speaks before Gideon interrupts him.
"Unless what," Gideon said.
"Unless when the Dark Curse was, cast all those years ago the curse struggled to bring the Vault here all in one go so it spilt the Vault into different chambers the ones that belonged to different Dark Ones" Adrien explained.
"And that's why the Dark Ones want us they need us to forge all the chambers together to make the Vault whole" Gideon replies as he stands onto his own feet.
"But why what exactly is the risk of the Vault not being made whole," Adrien asked Gideon.
"I don't know but I tell what I do think I think its time I remember what I've forgotten about our little adventures," Gideon tells Adrien.
"Oh do you now so you can remember the moment you abandoned I warn you it won't be pretty" Adrien almost snapped.
"Just do it I've made a lot of mistakes this past year I think its time I do something right or try to anyway" Gideon replied.
"Fine" Adrien said as he walked over to Gideon and places his hands one on each side of Gideon's face before concentrating on his memories of Gideon and himself. Adrien uses their dark magic to return the memories of the two to Gideon. Gideon is suddenly hit with the memories of him and Adrien and he sees more adventures of him and Adrien in the meadow like world and memories of Gideon and Adrien in some sea cave with a mermaid. Gideon stumbles away from Adrien after all their adventures have fully returned to him.
"Did it work" Adrien questions Gideon.
"Yes it did oh my god I'm sorry I should have never made that wish in the pool of darkness it wasn't right" Gideon apologised.
"You seem sincere the wish you made was made shortly before you met your precious friends Robin and Rick," Adrien told Gideon.
"I am and they aren't my friends they ours Adrien" Gideon replies.
"No, they not when you made that wish I lost my physical threshold on this realm Belle and Gold forgot about me, so did you, I became a ghost with no home" Adrien cried out unintentionally.
"I embraced dark magic but what I didn't do is embrace all my dark faults and I'm not going to be afraid to show everyone my many flaws and our friends and parents will see us together two halves working as one," Gideon says.
"How do I know this isn't some trick for my help"? Adrien asks.
"You don't but if you take the risk than you know what I say is true," Gideon said.
"We need more power," Adrien tells Gideon.
"More power isn't our dark magic enough to do this"? Gideon questioned.
"To draw each chamber that makes up the Vault of the Dark One closer together yes, but to actually to make the Vault whole no we need more even if its Vocalisation" Adrien explains to Gideon.
"Vocalisation but I haven't been able to practice Vocalisation for a year" Gideon points out.
"You never lost your Vocalisation powers they just needed time to recover from the fight with the Black Fairy the same with your Gatekeeper powers but when you lost faith in them you lost the trigger of your powers," Adrien says.
"But," Gideon said before Adrien interrupts him.
"No buts Gideon, I'll prove it to you," Adrien spoke before he conjures a small tennis ball in his right hand.
"Why have you created a tennis ball"? Gideon asked.
"For you, I want you to call for it make it appear in your hand believe you can do it will yourself to do" Adrien instructs Gideon.
"Fine tennis ball," Gideon says believing in himself and a second later the tennis ball disappears from Adrien's hand in a poof of gold smoke and reappears in Gideon's hand emerging from the gold smoke. Gideon smiles at the return of his Vocalisation magic.
"Good things happen when you listen to me," Adrien said with a smirk on his face.
