Chapter 8: MK's Memories
Daphne and Blu flew for a long time until she made it to Nim's. She ran inside.
"Nim? Nim Galuu?" she called.
"Hey there, Daph!" Nim called.
"Nim! Thank goodness you're alright. Did you hear that-"
"Moonhaven was destroyed? I know. The Rings of Knowledge have it."
"Nim, while I'm here, I need to ask you a question."
"Anything!"
Daphne sighed, "Was my mother a Stomper?"
Nim stared at her for a long time. "I think the Rings should answer that for you."
The two stepped onto the pulley elevator that led to the layers of the Rings. They stopped on a certain layer where Nim handed Daphne a certain scroll.
She unrolled it. "Nim, I can't read this," she said.
"Blow the dust off."
That's exactly what she did. Suddenly, visions moved all around her.
"These are my mother's memories?" Daphne asked Nim.
He nodded.
Daphne watched all the memories around her: Her mother arriving at the Stomper House, being given a pod which turned her into a Leafman, meeting her father, defeating the Boggins, leaving her father to be a Stomper, and finally, her mother becoming a Leafman to be with her father.
The memories faded away.
"My mother was a Stomper and my father was a Leafman. So, I'm half-Stomper. I've always been a Stomper and I never knew it!"
"Now, I don't want to break into your mid-life crisis, Daph, but we need to do something about your parents," Nim said.
"Right. Right. Nim, do the Rings know where Mom and Dad are?"
Nim picked up a scroll. "In Mandrake's lair in the Gray part of the forest."
"Thanks Nim! Be safe!" Daphne got on the elevator and pulled herself up to Blu.
