Chapter 6 ✾ The Moment

[Morgiana's POV]

The place that I told Anya was under lots of rubble but there was a small hole that we can go through especially Anya being in her human form and its not noticeable. "Who would have thought that you could find a place like this..." Anya said. "Haha yeah while running too..." I replied.

The inside was a huge space. There were pots at the side and some writings on the wall. There was even paintings on the wall. "Is this... a shaman's place?" Anya asked. "I think so... We need to find a place full of broken dolls. So I thought we could have more concentration." I replied. "Where do ya think that room is?" Anya asked.

"Umm I think it's at the ca-" just at that very moment my body froze. I thought I saw someone, something, behind there. "What?" Anya said as I pointed. "There. Did you see someone?" I said. "Oh shit let's go before you know who shows up!" Anya said while pulling my hand to go out.

"Wait! Don't go!" an unfamiliar voice said at the back of the building. "Who are you?" I asked, giving a glare to where the voice came from. Someone or something did come out then. A humanoid doll actually came out from the shadows. She had light brown hair with striking green eyes but I can see sadness and loneliness in it.

"We're stuck here too... After Gyokuen trapped us here..." the doll said. After that, the doll gestured towards the shadows as if waving for more things to walk out of the shadows. As if all monitored by an invisible string, one by one different dolls came out.

By the time all emerged from the darkness, there was about seven of them including the girl who introduced herself as Jennifer. There was twins among them and they both had sapphire eyes and dark hair with one of them having short hair, named Noielle, while the other had long hair tied in a low twin ponytail, named Naomi. Another one, probably one of the older ones because she had an aura of maturity around her. She had dark blue hair with deep ocean blue eyes and was named Adrianna. Beside her, there was another girl with brown hair and emerald eyes is Adna. Another one of them had silvery straight hair with a few highlighted strands of hair that shines like amethyst. Her eyes were the colour of bronze and her name was Leana. The last one, named Rosette, had lavender pink shoulder length hair that curled perfectly at the ends and she had a small beaded braid at the side. She had striking blue eyes which, if I look closely, had a circle of gold around it. She had an aura of infinite wisdom and her eyes had a certain trace of sadness. I couldn't help but wonder how old she was.

"What were you saying that Gyokuen trapped you here?" Anya asked Jennifer. "Technically all of us here was brought to Gyokuen for the same reason!" Noielle answered instead. "And that's to bring back 'Father' from another world!" Naomi finished her sentence while the rest of the group just stood nodding, agreeing to the twins.

"What happened to you all? Why do you all look like living dolls?" I asked all of them. "In short, the reason why we look like this is because Karujiko caught us..." Adrianna replied. "We turn into this when Karujiko catches us and we can never get out of here, not if another not-turned-to-doll person opens the portal from 'the' room..." Adna said. "Okay... What do you mean 'Father'?" Anya asked. "We'll tell you! In return for something else..." Leana said.

[Hakuryuu's POV]

"Is it finished?" the blonde said as he walked towards Hakuryuu, reverting back to normal. Hakuryuu just stared at the defeated duo.

"Alibaba-san! Hakuryuu-san!" someone shouted at the back of us. Alibaba immediately turned to the back and shouted Aladdin's name. And then the both of them hugged each other. "How did you defeat him?" I asked with Alibaba nodding his head. "Oh! That wasn't Judal-san. It was an illusion of him. Made by Gyokuen's own magic..." Aladdin explained. Now that makes sense... "Let's go Alibaba-san, Hakuryuu-san!" Aladdin said as he started to walk towards tower that was now really close to us. We just followed him.

After running for a while, we finally reached the entrance of the tower. "We made it... Huff... Huff..." Alibaba said. "It's not over yet, we still need to defeat Gyokuen and save Morgiana!" I said as I looked to at the tower. I looked at the back one more time just to see in there is anyone following us but I realized that Aladdin's face had gone paler than usual.

"What's wrong Aladdin?" Alibaba asked, a worried expression plastered on his face. "This place... Alibaba-san, Hakuryuu-san, I have a bad feeling about this..." Aladdin said, holding his staff like its his life. "Okay.. Let's just continue... The faster we do this the sooner we can get out of here..." I said as we continued back into the tower.

[Anya's POV]

"So you want us to get you all out if we find the portal? In exchange for information on where the room is and what is this 'Father'? Am I right here?" I asked once again. "Yeap!" Noielle said.

"Okay we'll do it! You have our promise! So now tell us, who this 'Father' is and where is this room with the portal?" Morgiana asked, taking the words right out of my mouth. "Well all we know about the room is that it's in the castle over there," Jennifer said as she pointed out the small window towards that huge castle. "And it's totally, 100% guarded by Karujiko. One of us got in before but we were caught by Karujiko," Adrianna said.

"Okay and who's 'Father'?" I asked. "'Father' is a spirit that is currently stuck in an alternate dimension. Someone from the past sealed him. Gyokuen wants to bring back 'Father' using an ancient, forbidden spell to destroy and take over the world, in order to destroy Cynoria- whoops!" Adna said as she covered her mouth.

"Who's Cynoria?" I asked, feeling suspicious already. There was a silence lingering in the room for a while. "Cynoria is the goddess that sealed 'Father'... " Rosette finally said.
