SmackDown come around quicker than anyone expected. Kane, Undertaker and Daniel Bryan were setting everything up on one side of the arena ready for the spell they were going to cast. They were determined to find who really had Paige, as well as avoid the teeth and claws of The Hounds and as well as wrath of the said Diva, they had figured out she must be somewhere around the arena due to her being so quiet and wherever she was she is in a safe place due to her not acting out. Unknown to the trio The Wyatt's were on the other side of the arena, and had formed a secret alliance with someone, the spell would work but not for all of them, part of the curse on the Undertaker would prevent him from finding Paige, the Paige he knew again. There was a reason why the others would remember who they were.
"Everything is set up" said Kane entering the locker room where the Undertaker was waiting, the candles already lit in a circle around him, a small book of spells before him, and a one of the rings that Bray once wore all those centuries before, he knew what he had to do, and hoped by channelling something that belonged to the man he put the curse on him in the first place, it would break it, or at least allow others who were there to remember who they once were. The Undertaker smiled at Kane and Daniel Bryan when he entered then began to chant the words to the spell in the same language in which Bray Wyatt original cast the curse on him.
"vires et motus alligatum . A warlocks corde est, ubi dissimulat . Agnony per auxilium eorum , Benedicat memoria eorum cum eis" chanted the Undertaker, the flames of the candles around him began to rise the more he chanted, a strong wind also blew around the arena. It wasn't long before the flames of the candles went back to normal and the wind disappeared as quickly as they came. The Undertaker opened his eyes to reveal they were white, Kane and Daniel Bryan took a step back not knowing if it was normal or not. It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door, when Kane opened he was met with Nikki Bella, looking like she had something to say to at least one of them.
"Where is my husband, and can someone please tell me why it is centuries later before any of us are brought back for vengeance?" asked Nikki walking past the duo at the door and seeing the man she was once married to in the middle of a candle circle, just closing the book he had read from and placing the ring that once belonged to Bray Wyatt on top of it, it was then that she realised what he had done, and had a feeling she was aware of why he had done it. "You brought back everyone's memories hoping that she would remember you. That she would remember everything. She is gone, she isn't coming back. Deep down I think you know it. Why can't you just accept what is right in front of you staring at you, shouting at you even. You and Paige aren't going to be reunited" added Nikki realising why he had done what he had, she knew he wouldn't accept the truth even if it was plainly obvious.
"I can't give up, I have come to far, I'm so close to bringing her back, she has gone on longer enough not knowing how important she really is. I have lost her twice Nikki I can't lose her again, I won't be able to handle it. I can bring her back, let you find the person you really loved before marrying me, you can be happy" replied The Undertaker, revealing why he was doing it, not just for himself but for Nikki to, so she could find the man she truly loved before having to marry him due to an arrange marriage to build an alliance between the two kingdoms. Nikki looked at the Undertaker, not believing what he was saying.
"I lost John the day he found out about the arranged marriage, just like you lost Paige the day Bray put that curse on you. I accepted that, you are my husband. Why can't you let Paige live peacefully, did you ever consider maybe she doesn't want to remember who she was, what she meant to you, Did it ever occur to you that maybe she is happy with Dean, that is happy not knowing what you do? How could you be so cruel to her, forcing her to remember all the pain of what happened? How could you be so cruel as to take away her happiness?" said and asked Nikki, she knew she had gotten through to him when he looked at her, with the hurt in his eyes, it became clear to her, that he had never thought about what Paige would be like, or that he was taking away her happiness by doing what he was.
"If she doesn't want to remember, then what was the point of Bray and all of us being in the same place in our reincarnations? She will hate then fine but eventually she will understand why I did it, I can't live like this Nikki, watching her be with one of the three who protected her, who was loyal to her until the end. I lost Paige but she is here again now, just like John is here, it is a second chance at happiness for the both of us, you convinced yourself you were happy with me but proved otherwise why you ordered Seth's death. When you became jealous of someone who was already dead, I knew then you still wanted to be with John rather than me" replied Undertaker before leaving the room, he wanted to see if the spell worked, if Nikki remembered then surely everyone else did as well. As he walked down the hall, he came across the Shield, they didn't appear to notice him and if they did they were ignoring he was there.
"Well if it isn't the Dead-man, before you ask she is still missing, but then again you already know that don't you" said Dean, revealing they were still none the wiser on who he was, or that he was once their king. It was then that the Undertaker realised the trio were wearing bracelets, he knew they wouldn't wear them unless they were given to them by Paige, he had a feeling it was those bracelets that stopped his spell working on them, he also remembered seeing two more walking around wearing similar bracelets. Although he was having trouble remembering who the duo were.
"Who gave you those bracelets?" quickly asked The Undertaker, ignoring what Dean had previously said, he just wanted to know where they got them from. Especially when they started the shimmer when he tried to use his magic on them, it suspicions were proven correct that it was the bracelets that were stopping them remembering who they were before. He couldn't remember seeing Paige wearing one, so hopefully she had her memories back. That she would find him or vice versa. The trio looked at each other wondering what he was up to considering he kept going on about something that they didn't even know about that apparently involved them.
"Paige did, a couple of years back. We were they since there was meaning behind them, and NO we aren't going to tell you the meaning" replied Seth, noticing Dean starting to get pissed off, he smiled at the one they call a lunatic just because he didn't care, it was obvious he wanted to go to Paige and make sure she was okay, since most people had started to act strangely, namely Nikki who ran past them a couple of minutes prior saying she was looking for her husband the Undertaker. They thought it was a joke a first until they heard Cena mention something about being a stable boy who was sentenced to death and Vince going on about being the king of the light that brought about the end of the darkness hay day including three specific deaths.
"If you excuse us dead man, we have to go and find Paige, since the only ones who appear to give a damn about her besides us the Wyatt's" said Roman before walking off behind Seth and Dean, he didn't know what happened but he did realise the bracelets they wore shimmer when the wind come howling through the building, he didn't think of it at first but that was until everyone else around them started acting oddly and talking about events that happened five hundred odd years prior, he didn't understand and he was fairly sure Dean and Seth didn't either. It wasn't long before the trio got to the place where Paige was hiding, she didn't appear to be any different but then again neither did anyone else, they were just acting oddly.
"Paige, my dark angel, you okay?" asked Dean, watching as she nodded, and looking at him oddly. It wasn't long before she confirmed nothing was wrong with her, when she pulled him in to a bone crushing hug. "Just had to make sure, everyone is acting oddly. The wind blew through this place like a tornado then Nikki ran past us asking where her husband the undertaker was, John said he was a stable boy and was put to death for trying to stop something and Vince was on about a war between his light warriors against the soldiers of darkness that lead to Kane betraying
Undertaker who he said was king, Kane killed Queen Paige, Dean and Roman in this war" explained Dean seeing the way she looked at him, it was clear it was in disbelief but over what he had no idea. It was then the Wyatt's appeared, this time not meaning to do anything, except answer questions, Roman had asked them to be there.
"They speak the truth. We were all here before. Five hundred years go. I was a sorcerer working with the King of the light Vince, he tasked me with bringing pain to Mark the king of the darkness otherwise known as the Undertaker. I cursed him but was killed shortly after along with Luke, Erick and Braun. My curse appears to have been successful" said Bray making their presence known, he smiled at Paige, revealing it was true, everything all of them had been saying since the howling wind ripped through the building.
"Paige was the Undertaker's first wife, known as the Raven Queen, the three of you were her protector, two of you fell in the same battle as she did and by the same man. The other made sure the place where she was laid to rest didn't fall into ruin, well that was until Nikki, Undertaker's second wife order the death of the final one. The church has since been lost, only those who kept there memories from before know where it is. Thrust the Undertaker is the only one who remains with his memories who knows where that church truly lies. He wants back his first queen, forced everyone here to remember so he could do that" spoke Erick, almost like he was whispering, he had only remembered once he was reunited with Bray again, as had Luke, it was unlikely the missing family member have been untouched by Undertakers spell, as it was rather powerful.
"Then why are the four of us unaffected by it?" asked Roman, slightly confused, he hadn't twigged that it was because of the bracelets for him, Seth and Dean, or that the curse that Bray spoke off had stopped Paige from remembering who she had once been. He knew it was worrying for Dean who know had his arms wrapped around Paige's waist, it was clear he didn't want to lose her, neither of them did. It appears the Wyatt's didn't want the Undertaker to get what he wanted either, although they didn't know why. "Why would the three of you help us protect Paige besides you think she is your Sister Abigail?" again asked Roman, not understanding anything at this point.
"You three boys remain unaffected due to the bracelets that Paige gave you, because they are from her, the part of the curses magic transferred to them and thrust stopped the spell from bringing back your memories of the previous life. As for Paige the curse was to separate the Undertaker from his beloved wife, Paige. He doesn't matter what he does, you will never remember your previous life" explained Luke, revealing Paige would never remember who she once was. "If she does remember then she will be forced to feel the excruciating pain of being impaled over and over again, and feel like she is a ghost, where a vale is separating us from her" added Luke informing them of what would happen is Paige remembered anything about her previous life. And the reason why the wanted to help them.
"The curse I put on the Undertaker, it also placed the abandonment spell on Paige. I can tell you what the curse was if you wish" added Bray revealing why Paige would feel as if there is a vale between her and the rest of the world. He nodded slightly when he seen them nodding back at him in reply to what he had said. "The curse included the Undertaker keep his memories of his previous life in this one, living with the pain that he and his brother were the only two who would remember, he would live knowing there was something he had he would never be able to regain, he would have to watch as Paige there be happy with someone else besides him. The twist fate put in it, is that Dean the man who was slain while attending to her on the battle field was the one he would have to watch her with" spoke Bray explaining what It was the curse included, it was actually amusing to him that fate would do that.
"The Undertaker, wont harm you, you see he thinks he can get Paige back even when the curse said he would never regain what is lost. So he wont harm the three people she will ask for if he is successful. You three, Paige there loved you back then, that hasn't changed. Fate is a cruel game, and one that has been kind to you" added Luke, revealing that Undertaker wouldn't do anything to them while he still had hope he could bring Paige back, the four looked at each other, Paige complete confused, trying to get her head around what she had just heard. Where as Dean held on to her a little tighter, he didn't want to lose her and hoped that the curse would make sure he didn't, neither of the trio would be the same if they lost Paige, regardless if she was once the Undertaker's Raven Queen.
