The next day, in the early morning within the castle itself:

Morgana was awake with feeling something unexpected was going to happen later tonight at the festival in Sunny's town, but shrugged it off as she glanced to her two girls that she hid a half-amused yet understanding chuckle at the way they slept on her offered bed, as yes, they were given rooms, but they refused to do that last night due to what occurred.

Thinking of that made Morgana frown for only a moment before shaking her head, as Sirius did told her in private alongside the king himself, of the unusual energy he never felt before at all, and only felt it once when he was by a confession of his late mother when she told him before running away from his home, of several families having kidnappings and he was almost one of them, if it wasn't for her casting the same curse with legal issues being passed to not make her to go to the one prison, to protect their home, of very familiar energy that is from back then.

While she was getting around, she did glance at both Chipana and Cassie a few times with her recalling the events of last night as well, and internally sighed with her weapon currently inside her agreeing, wordlessly, I hope they're both going to be alright from whatever happened… Pretty sure Marianne had to calm Dawn again with hopefully not having nightmares.

Once Morgana was around, she summoned Xal'atath with the weapon giving her a single eyeroll of knowledge as she went to the window with snapping her fingers silently at a letter via her mind in works on the stand for her two girls, and flew out the room and to the training grounds.

It was the same area as before to which she trained Marianne, and blinked at seeing said princess was there and solo-sparing with her weapon, Heartsbane, until she noticed her yet resumed her stances and thrusts, and asked her before slicing a blueberry that was sent at her by one of her helpers, "So how are the other two?"

Morgana sighed with shrugging a few times with her wings twitching in mixed emotions the elder princess noticed but didn't say anything as she listened to the Young Chaosarinian letting out her concerned frustration while preparing to maybe spar with her, "Cassie had some nightmares with her unintentionally kicking me in the face, but Chipana also had some of her facing a evil version of herself that harmed everyone, even me, in the middle of the night."

"Was that before or after Cass kicked you in the face?" Marianne tells her with sympathy and understanding, mixed with only small humor at imagining that, as Morgana responded by getting into a stance like she was, and her dagger-based comrade turning into her blade self, "After a few minutes… I'm not sure how I can convince Chip that she has no one to blame but whatever that beast was, did."

Once they began to clash their weapons in gentle thrumming-like sounds a few times before pulling away from each other, Marianne then advised her to which Morgana did blink, but nodded after, "It was a first of her, especially since she revealed that unusual sword she summoned before leaving for the night. Plus as you know from what Siruis told us, that she and Cassie had their own energy and magic to themselves that was slowly coming forth before being fully unlocked by the trick Dawn did to make you kiss them, that one day."

Morgana did had a momentarily tinted face before they crossed swords once again, and with speed-spinning and sparing even more against each other before they stopped a few minutes after that as she replied back to the brunette princess, and which Marianne raised an eyebrow at her for as it was a slight potshot to her blonde sister, "That reminds me I still have yet to get back at her for that day's prank."

"I'm sure Dad and the others will be looking forward to some payback, despite the few hours of that day being considered a prank day to the kingdom by the combined suggestion of Sirius and my father." Marianne agreed before they charged at each other mid-flight and clashed their weapons and split apart with landing on the opposite sides on their feets in perfect synchronization, and gazed at Morgana's weapon as she rolled her eye and responded to that, normally for once, "Well, I would rather have not been pranked of being stuck on a ceiling for a few days by Cassie and Dawn's infernal pranking when it came to your sparing time, and replaced me with a wooden stick."

Morgana rolled her eyes as she blinked as her weapon dismissed herself due to the moody feelings she felt from her weapon with Marianne sighing at seeing their morning spar was cut short as they then began to head back to the castle before Morgana blinked at spying Sunny heading out to somewhere, "Hey Mei?" Marianne stopped mid-flight ahead of her and glanced back to her friend with a raised eyebrow before confusion settled by her questioned words, "Would you mind if I gather something for Chip and Cass? I figured maybe some fresh berries might be good"

"Sure, but just make sure you come back at a decent time, as knowing how popular you are from the one time in Sunny's town, you and both your girls saved some of the Elf Children from being taken by the Shadelings." Marianne told her to make Morgana only nod in a small smile as the princess took off to the castle, and she went and followed Sunny.

Morgana recalled that for a moment, and understood from being explained that the borders of both the Fairy and Dark Kingdoms were announced that one time to being randomly attacked by the Shaded Isle that declared themselves as a self-proclaimed kingdom, back then when they visited Sunny's father, the blacksmith that is, before she and her two girls became statues.

As far as she heard, they were kept back at bay and declared self-proclaimed isolation from the other kingdoms with an unusual barrier preventing anyone but those they trust, to enter and exit its boundaries.

While Morgana was trying to catch-up with Sunny, both Cassie and Chipana were already around in time to spare with reading the note to know Morgana went out for a bit to maybe think things, as yes, the duo knew she cared for them both, alongside the others in equality, but she was a living person as well and probably wanted to vent out her frustrations in a spar, or something else to take her mind off of the difficult things.

"So… Should we get her something for the festival tonight?" Cassie suggested to Chipana who paused at gently brushing her tail as she already did her hair to head out of the room, blinked twice, and thought before agreeing to that idea, "But what should it be?"

Cassie shrugged before hearing their door knocked, and saw that it was Dawn who looked at them expectedly, and sooner than later, they were in Sunny's home town with seeing the festival was still in progress, with seeing the ferris wheel was nearly finished, and there was stands and more being built, and even some game booths by the trio's suggestion to King Dagda at that, also nearly finished as well.

"So you're alright right now, Chip?" Cassie asked with Chipana holding small amusement at seeing her fellow soul-sister's face having some remains of cotton candy on it to which she saw her easily slurp it all into her mouth with ease, and shrugged as yes, she felt fine, but she still felt guilty of what she may have done, but only responded to make Cassie pause, and give her a brief look of concern, "More or less…" Chipana sighed at seeing Cassie's look as they resumed with the small inspection that Dawn told the duo they were a part of, which was why Cassie had some festival food with her and consuming it as a taste expert, of sorts, "Just wish I understood what that power was, what I am, and even this weapon I can summon and dismiss at anytime I want more then what I did to that beast, which deserved it."

Cassie hid her worries and agreement on that before grabbing her soul-sister around her shoulders with ignoring the minor tint that came to Chipana at how close she was, when she spotted something to maybe change the subject, "Well, we can figure things out later as I see something over there that looks fun."

Dawn did shake her head at where she was with observing the girls with recalling an hour earlier, Marianne told her Morgana was gathering some fruit for her girls, to which she thought was sweet, but recalled the weird thing the child did, her Hammerspace that is, and knew she wouldn;t need help storing things as she thanked kindly the old elf woman who gave her some lemonade from the one kingdom in the tropical side of their world, sending soe for the festival.

While the trio were doing their own thing, with Marianne, she was once again sparing with herself.

Marianne felt like she didn't get enough time of practice with Morgana, so she was alone and sparing herself with perfect thrusts and air slices with her weapon, and with a blindfold on for better concentration.

She knew that from seeing Roland around the area, he was still going to bug her about their so-called relationship and knowing her father,he might try and beg her to go to it, which she thought after a few parry thrusts to herself for a moment of her own sister, She needs to stop thinking on boys at most and try and defend herself.

When she began doing more slicing, she stilled and became perplexed at hearing her slice something in half, and removed her blindfold to blink down at her feet of an actual sized fruit of what appeared, from a random book she read from Morgana's stash at one point, a cantaloupe but it's perfectly sized for their real-time size, froze for a few moments, and sharply turned at hearing some clapping with seeing a cloaked and armored man casually eating one of the halves without juice dribbling from his lips with ease and was learning on a nearby tree as if he wasn't bothered by things.

It was Aeroza, not known to her, as he lowered his hood to see his face, and held up the fruit with her thinking he was mocking her as she narrowed her eyes at him, "My thanks as I was intended to slice this fruit for myself, but seeing how skilled you are, I thought of an easier way."

"How did you get here?" She firmly questioned him with quickly wiping her blade of the juice and pointed the tip at his direction in a threat, to which he only thought was humorous, and only took a small bite of the fruit and swallowed before replying, with seeing to her shock he used an energized finger to easily peel the skin off and tossed it all casually away to resume eating it, "I just can, like few others I know of. I mostly wanted to check on a few others before I head back home, but felt how twisted your own self seemed as of late." Guarded by that, and not lowering her sword, Marianne firmly stated in wanting to know, "What do you mean by that? I'm perfectly fine."

"It may seem you're fine, child, but you have many emotions built up within you, especially to grudges and self loathing to a specific individual? A certain blonde fairy in green armor?" Aeroza stated before taking a casual bite of his fruit and stunned her for only a moment at conjuring a mug with some coffee and cream to which, she senses from her nose it was some type of apple and cinnamon scent, but shook her head of being stunned and pointed again at him, "And you have more kept away, to which I know for sure you have doubts about a few friends and how they can handle themselves… Particularly to three specific girls who I mentioned, I was checking up on one I felt was using pure darkness and chaos within her rightful place and point last night." He added to her.

Now this lowered Marianne's guard with being mixed at knowing if this person wanted her dead or more, he would have done it already, and lowered her blade and blinked as within her hand was a easily seen small bottle of sorts with seeing his food and drink was casually floating with a slight rainbowish-like mist under them when he snapped it into existence, and saw it was the same liquid she used on Cassie, blinked, and called him out to which he only nodded after grabbing the two floating items and resumed his breakfast, not known to her, "It was you who gave me that bottle when I was out shopping in the district!"

"Guilty as innocently charged, princess, as I can disguise myself with ease if I wanted to. But it did help, did it not?" Aeroza admitted before claiming to her to which he saw her pause as he fully consumed the fruit to go after his conjured drink with small sips, and saw her look conflicted about that, and made her sharply look at him for, "But this day I can sense, is far from over… Interesting perhaps, but I will let you be your own judge as in time, truths and lies will be uncovered to both sides of kingdoms, and to specific girls as well… Morgana, though, is not the last of her kind but indeed the last Royal Type, as there are others in current existence. Either in her current realm and time, to others in the multiverse as I know, you have read that book as well due to being bored that one day."

Marianne was truly stunned as no one would know that, and before she could question him further, he did a finger to wordlessly state, wait, as he sipped his coffee a few times gently and responded to her in admittance while also tapping his temple to his head, "I foreseen it as during that time I was fighting a dark entity who wanted to destroy a world to one of many individuals I foreseen, wanted to use her for, but failed from her overcoming it and vaporized the creature that was sent to do so with my slight aid of hand. And by foreseeing yourself, I mean into anyone's past, present, and both futures… When either I can or forced, that is."

Once his coffee was gone, he stood up with conjuring a vortex that Marianne widened her eyes at for, and offered her some advice to which she began to think on before she resumed sparing by herself, with also making out of nothing some things for her eventual lunch, later, in a leafy-like lunch box with an endless flasked drink inside it that he knew she would like, "I must take my leave as I will return at some point to check up on the girls, but know that you don't have to face your hardships alone as you have family and friends to count on… Even if it seems like it isn't true, it is."

While Marianne was thinking deeply to what the man said, with Sunny as Morgana found him while gliding within the sky and truly forgot by grabbing her primrose petal she stashed away and was rather confused why it slightly glowed while she held it, at the one particular spot where they faced the lizard with talking to himself. Not known to her that is, as her three friends didn't mention the lizard incident to her and her two girls.

"My plan is perfect! All I gotta do is find a primrose flower, get to the castle, where I'll find the Sugar Plum Fairy." Sunny tells himself while parkouring to the spot, "She'll make the love potion with all the little primrose petals that I-" Sunny let out a shocked scream while sliding onto his behind when he discovered that every rose was gone, especially the ones he recalled days ago was missing, by seeing the stems were all that remained of each one.

"Man, those goblins work fast!" Sunny tells himself by brushing himself off the slight dirt that was on the back of his pants, before placing his hands to his face while going, uh-oh, for a moment as if he was in a dilemma of sorts. "Petal, petal, petal…" he began to state-think with gently slapping his cheeks, "Think quick, think!" He looked at the one spot before recalling things, and stated to himself without noticing Morgana landing behind him a few feet away, "Ah! Duh!"

Sunny laughed as he ran over to the one spot he placed a primrose petal to still see it was thankfully still there as he grabbed it, and looked pleased, "All right." He tells himself before he nearly fell onto his behind at discovering Morgana right behind him with a startled yelp as she asked with a raised eyebrow and crossing her arms in a way, she indeed wondered, "Sunny? What are you doing?"

Before he could speak, he blinked a few times and saw the primrose petal that dimly glowed in Morgana's hands and pointed to it, and made her blink while glancing at it, "Why do you have one too? I thought all the goblins cleared them out?"

"I got this a while back and forgot about it," Morgana admitted to making Sunny sweat drop to her, but looked nervous when she questioned him with pointing her free hand at his petal though, which he failed at trying to hide, "But why do you have one?"

"Well… You see…" He was trailing off to make up an excuse, but sighed at seeing her look at him and came clean, and after his confession, Morgana blinked twice with her stating in a way, she couldn't believe it, "Wait, wait, wait… Wait. Back up! You mean to tell me that the bloody blonde fairy, Roland, gave you the idea to make a Love Potion, which can be only made by the Sugar Plum Fairy that's held as a prisoner, in the Dark Kingdom, within the Dark Forest?"

Seeing his reluctant nod to her, she held the bridge of her nose with Sunny glancing at her petal and his, and was only perplexed as to why her's was glowing, and his wasn't, before standing still and tall slightly by her continued words, "You wouldn't be trying to use that potion on someone, right?" Seeing him look slightly guilty now, Morgana realized and sighed, and made him blink at her in slight shock then, "It wouldn't be for Dawn, right?"

"How did you know?" Sunny asked her as he thought no one noticed his crush on her, and seeing her raise her eyebrow as if to wordlessly state, are you for real, "It was obvious to me and my girls of your crush on her, as I know that look from my Big Sister and Adam all the time whenever they do have fun and stuff together. You like her in a more-than-friends way, right?"

"Yes." He sighed while admitting to the Potter Heiress, "But she hardly noticed at all, and I figured, maybe…" She stopped him with him blinking once again at being in shock by her small smile, and agreeing with him, "I might not like it, but I have a feeling that potion is just to show the person who loves you, to force it out. I'll help ya Sunny, but it's gonna cost ya this time."

He shrugged as he saw her eyes sparkle at seeing the homemade cookies he was going to save for later that was from his town's bakery, and was amused as she nabbed them and easily ate them all within one cartoonish-like gulp with a pleased look as it was made with chocolate chips with blueberries combined, and a few moments later, the duo were soon entering the Dark Forest with him not questioning how she was soon eating a blueberry as they walked, and guessed she found a small patch before meeting him.

She followed Sunny with sliding on the same mushroom to land on the ground, and followed him as not known to her, the one mushroom was actually a sentient being, alongside the others nearby him as it was a male, and whispered to the one next to him as it was then whispered to others in a long line, "A small elf and a weird girl is in the Dark Forest."

After a while, the whispers came to the castle grounds to the one lone mushroom as Stuff accepted it, and stated 'Oh! Got it!' and took off into the Dark Castle entrance. Once in the throne room with the Bog King noticing Stuff's arrival, Thang questioned his comrade in being perplexed, "What does it mean?"

"I'm listening," The Bog King stated to them in a loud whisper to startle his two lackeys as they both cleared their throats, as Stuff began to tell him by gesturing it, "News from the mushrooms, Sire." Then Stuff told Thang, "You can tell him." "You tell him." Thang responded back before Stuff mentioned in a sly smirk to themselves, "He likes you." Thang blinked as he told himself, "Really?"

"Now! I'm waiting!" The Bog King told the two in impatience, as Thang cleared his throat and made the Bog King be perplexed by the message, "A tall chef is into shark storage with a weird girl!"

"What?" He questions Thang who looked nervous a bit then, and tries to explain things, "Okay, you know how we sometimes have a shark, but no place to store it? Well, a very tall chef has that very same problem with being aided by a weird girl…" He paused from his words as his comrade looked away awkwardly by his next set of confused words, "Hmm. That doesn't make any sense."

The Bog King held the bridge of his nose, and told them both firmly as he flew to the entrance, "I'll deal with it," and they rushed out to follow him as well, with Thang getting trampled and swirled to land on his behind before that.

The Bog King growled as he went over to some mushroom folk and made them fall to the gap where the entrance was before grabbing one, with the use of his staff, picked him up, and heard what he hastily whispered to him while still holding the poor mushroom creature, and responded to his two minions firmly with a glint of anger in his eyes, "A small elf and a weird girl is in the Dark Forest!" The mushroom shrieked as he was dropped nearby the Bog King with more minions he ruled over, came forth after warning to know what was going on, "Well, if they're looking for trouble," one minion nodded as they took off at the wordless direction of their sire's staff, with the mushroom screaming as he was poked harshly by the staff to fall to the gap of the ravine, "They come to the right place."

Bog King: "Yeah~, if they're looking for trouble~!"

One of his minions nodded as they left to where he pointed.

Bog King: "Just take a look at this face~!"

The Bog King was right up the face of one of his burlier minions who didn't seem bothered by this, as the minion growled with the Bog King pointed to the direction he wanted to send him, and the minion began to move.

Bog King: "Because I'm evil~!"

One of the last remaining minions was panting excitedly as the Bog King used his staff to point as to where he should go, and took off in haste he did, after.

Bog King: "My middle name is misery~! Yes, I'm evil~! So don't mess around with me~!"

Without warning, the Bog King sighed as both Thang and Stuff winced at the minor explosion that occurred within the castle, or more importantly, in the lower dungeons as he groaned with stating as he rushed off, "She better have a good explanation this time."

Meanwhile with Sunny and Morgana, Morgana gave a look at Sunny as he sang tremulously to himself as she was actually enjoying the small walk with each other in the forest, as she was warned as well what lies within, but felt like it was basically a normal forest itself.

Sunny: "Don't worry~, about a thing! 'Cause every little thing is gonna be…"

They both jumped from hearing an unexpected rushing sound with a growl, and with Sunny nearly dropping his primrose petal, and Morgana had hers back into storage, with them continuing on as he was scared a bit, and was singing to calm himself.

Sunny: "Woke up this morning~, I hope I woke up this morning! Three goblins, sayin' 'I'm going to kill you'."

Without realizing things, Morgana finally took noticed of the rope that was latched to Sunny's travel bag yet before she could say something, he was tugged and dropped his primrose petal, and they were both startled by the large and ominous-looking shadow on the long and large rock they were nearby at.

"Oh! Okay, you got us! Just kill me now. Make it quick." Sunny tells whatever the beast was with Morgana looking behind them in disbelief with Sunny not seeing what she was seeing as he had his eyes shut firmly waiting for the inedible before opening an eye, and flinched at the unexpected roaring before turning around to see it was a small creature.

It was a mouse-like goblin as far as Morgana could guess with cute yet large and beady black eyes, or even mostly to a white-furred that was short, bipedal opossum with ears like a fennec fox, and it was no bigger than Sunny was in half the elf's height as well, or should she say, he was.

"Hey! Hey, wait a minute." Sunny stated to the creature as the creature, The Imp that is, gazed at Sunny in small amusement while eyeing Morgana a few times in simple brief curiosity, upon seeing Sunny noticed the rope was fully out from his bag he brought, "Did you tie me…" The Imp then pounced on him ignoring Sunny's brief look aimed at her from the light chuckle she let out, s he was on his back and The Imp being on his stomach, and grunted out, "Who are you?"

The Imp chittered while doing a shrugging motion to him, and then hopped off him and ran on all fours into a random direction as both Sunny and Morgana gazed where the creature took off to.

"Hmm." Sunny hummed to himself as he got up while grabbing his petal, and dusted it off… For only to make them jump in slight shock as The Imp swung on a small vine like an expert, snatched the petal, and landed on top of a tree limb nearby with a smirk on his muzzle.

"Okay, look you little thing," Sunny began to berate The Imp who was watching the eld with every movement as Morgana stood where she was to see how this would play out, and simply watched Sunny gather the rope tied to his bag and began to head over to untie it from the petrified stump, "I'm a guy who usually enjoys a good joke, even at my own expense. But right now, I'm not in a 'Ha-Ha' frame of mind. I'm in a 'Ah!' frame of mind." He made some gestures to prove that, "Ah!" He let out a short startled scream as The Imp amused Morgana from using his tail to be upside-down while holding the petal behind his back. In being amused he startled Sunny.

The Imp tickled or tried to tickle Sunny's head to which he shoved him away with a few chittering sounds of being entertained, and the elf points at The Imp and trying to go around him with the The Imp doing the same, to prevent Sunny at getting the petal, "I am on a very serious mission!" Once he did a full circle, the two began to tug back and forth the petal so much, it ripped in half before wilting within moments.

They both gazed at the dried-up rose petal and before Sunny could rant, both blinked at seeing Morgana's to make him recall things with relief, and didn't notice the glint The Imp had at the dimly glowing petal while it was in her hands as if it knew as to why it did that, and gave it to Sunny when she grabbed it out of her Hammerspace that is, and handed it to him, "I really gotta find The Sugar Plum Fairy," Sunny began with The Imp realizing the mission, grew excited as he went up within moments in a decent leap into the trees, as Morgana followed her friend, "The maker of the All-Powerful Love Potion, and you're holding me back…" without warning he was conked on the head with a small acorn that was the half of his head in size, "Ow!"

With giving Morgana a payback look for later as she held her hands up from chuckling lightly at that, they looked to see The Imp chittering and chirping at them with a come-with motion to get the duo to realize one thing: The creature knew where to maybe find the fairy herself.

"You know where she is?" Sunny asked to make sure as they both saw The Imp nod firmly with a smile, once, and began to take off as they both began to follow after the creature to which if they stayed, they would have been caught by the one excited minion, who was muttering to himself in being stumped as to where they went.

Parkouring and more within the trees, and on the ground while avoiding large insects and some creatures, they eventually after catching their breath, came to an old log that looked very sturdy still, and Morgana glanced down to the misty ravine and back, with her knowing she could have flown yet she was making sure to save her wing's strength, like her Uncle Frost told her to at times.

She blinks at how strong in secret The Imp was, as he managed to easily swerve the one part close to them of the log, and over to the ravine without any leaning issues at all, with The Imp squeaking excitedly as he motioned for them to follow and entered the log, "Oh. Okay."

Once they saw The Imp was near the edge of it, the creature looked at Sunny mostly with Morgana wondering about the same thing, by his suspicious words to the creature, "Wait a minute. You ain't gonna trick me again or trick Mary, are you?"

The Imp chittered with a few shakes of his head for the wordless word, no, before making a crossing-heart gesture to know he was keeping to his word, "Good. Because I'm an Elf, and we're very trusting creatures." Sunny then told him as both he and Morgana cautiously entered the hollow log and to The Imp, and startled the duo as he casually let himself fall backwards with chittering in glee.

They rushed over with Sunny nearly tripping over himself that he was briefly thankful of Morgana catching him, and they both glanced own with him hiding the urge to gulp, and grabbed the rope with attaching one end to a sturdy part of the log, with knowing Morgana could silently fly next to him to keep up as he stated at least loud enough for The Imp to hear him, "So here's me, trusting you!"

Back with Marianne, she was still sparing but with the aid of her helpers this time, in her one area within the air near the castle she requested by her father, to which, "Marianne!" He called out to her.

"Kinda busy," she told him without losing her stances with knowing she is going to get her three helpers the sweets they asked for later on for aiding her in this, and did a slight gasp with admitting to whoever did it by hitting her in the gut and resumed after, her father flying behind her, "I deserved that one."

Marianne did stop when she heard her sword gently clatter against her father's armor as he told her expectedly, "The Elve's Spring Festival and Dance is starting soon. I want you-" he was stopped when she stated to him in a way she was mixed with expecting this, and not believing he was suggesting it too, "After the last dance? You kidding me" She lifted her blindfold when she said those words though before he landed onto the ground with a few pants due to his old age, and saw she resumed her sparring session.

"Oh Marianne! You're… You're a unique girl." King Dagda began with ignoring his eldest's groaning as he did see she was listening while she was still sparring with her three helpers, "And Roland may have a few flaws…" She stopped him while letting out an obvious scoff, "Understatement." Not deterred by her words, he continued, "But he still loves you."

"He loves the crown." She only responded with a grunt and avoided a few punches she felt were coming by one of the helpers to her face, "But-" "And his hair." "But, but-" "Not in that order." She kept stopping him yet he wasn't fathomed by his eldest, "But if not Roland, then there has to be someone else!"

"No, there isn't." She responded as he kept trying then, "Maybe if you got out more often-" "Let it go, Dad." She told him, ducking and swerving her helper's strikes, "You'll be a stronger ruler with a king at your side." He stated firmly to her, and she only responded back, "I'm stronger alone." He sighed to himself before telling her softly yet loud enough for her to hear him, "I don't want you to be alone."

Hearing this, she sighed as well before sheathing Heartsbane, and told her father then with one of the three helper's taking her blindfold, and gliding to him and landed on her feet, "Dad, I promise if I find a guy out there who takes my hand," which she grabbed her father's right hand, "And looks me in the eye," with her staring right at her father's own eyes, and soon made a fist with her right hand, "And I don't want to hit him-" he groaned with her seeing his state, told him then, "I'll consider it."

"But that guy doesn't exist," she added to her words, as he then told her then to change things, "Then go to the dance to help me keep an eye on that flirtatious sister of yours." At the end of his words, she gritted her teeth for a few moments and grunted to herself before she sighed once he hugged her knowing she would at least do that, "That's my girl." He gently tells her within the hug as she secretly smiles softly at this.

Back with Chipana and Cassie, for a brief moment, they were under some magic training via Sirius, knowing Morgana could take care of herself, and also preparing the custom gift they plan to give her as a shared gift later tonight… Speaking of her, she and Sunny were nearing where The Imp was leading them to with Morgana carefully avoiding some sharp twigs that grew somehow on the sides of the ravine itself.

Sunny whimpered every time he looked down though to which Morgana understood as she was climbing with him from feeling her wings getting tired, and knew she should have stretched them today, despite them being rested up for several moments while doing this.

The Imp chittered to the two with both Sunny and Morgana looking at each other as they followed him to a tunnel of sorts with Morgana being wary of it, with Morgana also thinking that she heard someone speaking somewhere closeby, but saw how small the tunnel was with looking at The Imp as if he was slightly insane, "I- We won't fit." Sunny stated but corrected himself to The Imp, before seeing him somehow inflating like a slight balloon with his arms to his sides while hanging onto the branch with his feet, and chittered tauntingly as if to exclaim to them, suck it in.

Sunny was able to go inside but saw Morgana couldn't to which The Imp had an idea for as he stated to him, "Come on." He only squalls while making a motion he didn't want to go, and did a scary pose to get the Elf to understand alongside the Young Chaosarinian, "She's that scary?"

The Imp only nodded with ignoring Morgana's shocked stare at the creature from purposely shoving her friend through the slick tunnel, it seemed with her shout-whispering to Sunny to which as to what she could see, he gave a brief nod while yelling into the tunnel to know he heard her, "I'll find another way in!" She gave the sheepish Imp a stare before stating to him, "I don't suppose you know another way inside?"

With Sunny, he was yelling as from the outside of the tunnel that led into the castle itself, the castle servants and minions were perplexed by what was going on as he eventually landed onto his back harshly a bit onto the petrified stone wooden ground and passed out for what seems like a moment or two, but woke up with giving Morgana a look of her spraying water from her fingertips at him to wake him up, and saw they were both in the dungeons.

He did pause though while brushing some dirt off his outfit by asking her a quarried question, "How did you get in the dungeons too?" He did sweat drop as she sheepishly pointed to the stairs while telling him in honesty, "I found another way that creature told me in wordless motion, and may have cast my one invisibility spell that just faded now, to get to you."

Before he could ask, she raised a hand up as he only nodded after her words, "I only know how to cast it on myself right now as I'm still learning magic, but I would have done it to the both of us to get in this place better."

It was then they both noticed the faint yet obvious neon-blue of light glowing closeby to which led to a cage, as they both got onto their hands and knees to see that there was a spider-based glowing sack on a twig down there. They both struggled but lifted the heavy bar-based twigs to know that someone was important to be down there, and she helped Sunny down as they approached it.

"Hello?" Sunny asked whomever was inside it as it was kinda hard to make out, with them both looking at each other and nodded as they used shut one eyeball and Sunny used his left while she did with her right eye, to gaze into the orb as he asked whomever it was, "Are you The Sugar Plum Fairy?"

It was indeed her, as she was mostly blue in appearance all over, with faint sparkles of matching blue dust and light particles around her. She looked like those of the fairy race, but she had no wings, but her lower and thicker half was that of a wispy tail, and she had a blue-colored thorn crown on the top of her wispy head. She also had a decent chest size though, and slightly sharper digits then the fairies themselves for her hands.

"I expected something more purple." Sunny states to himself with Morgana not agreeing with him on that while seeing the Sugar Plum Fairy was in a trance of sorts, "I don't know Sunny, she seems to suit herself just fine to me… Despite being very small."

The two backed up then with Sunny grabbing the petal with a nod at Morgana's wordless agreement, as he waved it in front of the cage to try to get the female fairy's attention, "Hello?" She appeared startled and did scream, like the other two did, at the same time with above the castle, the skull-based entrance's eye sockets glowed for only a moment before dimming, not that anyone would notice from a minor burst of magic from the child, as The Sugar Plum Fairy gasped and pointed mainly at Sunny, "A primrose?"

Seeing he got her attention, he began to tell her then with at least being relieved his mission was over, "It is! I brought it so you can-" She moved away for a bit with crossing her arms as she said, nun-huh, but Sunny continued anyways, "So you can make-" She interrupted him with vocalizing loudly to herself in a mocking song with her hands to her ears, "The Love Potion."

The Sugar Plum Fairy then made dusty-like bars to represent her confined cell, and told him in frustration, "How do you think I got in here?" Though she said it a bit loudly.

After shushing her, Sunny began to state his case with Morgana silently huffing to let out her own words to this, "Listen, my name is Sunny." But it seems she was reminiscing about her current predicament to herself, "The Bog King won't listen to me, about what happened on that fateful day. And I have been locked away for so long."

"'That fateful day'?" Sunny questioned her with Morgana agreeing with him to get The Sugar Plum Fairy to know that they were indeed listening to her, "Was it that bad?" She did gasp though with telling the two then in unexpected happiness, "You both were listening! So I'll do it."

"Yes!" Sunny exclaimed to himself with Morgana worried about her condition she told them then, "If you promise to set me free!"

"What?" Sunny tells her to which she rolled her eyes, and simply stated to him as he looked reluctant, "Shake on it?" While he was unsure, she told him with her hand out, "You can reach in, I can't reach out." Once Sunny does reach in, he forced his hand back out with making Morgana blink twice at seeing it shrunk while inside of that enchanted webbed cage, and this amused The Sugar Plum Fairy as Morgana did it a few times at being interested with her own hand, but didn't see the fairy's eyes finally widen for only a moment as if she knew what she was, from finally noticing her.

She laughed though still at Sunny with her telling him in amusement, "You should see your face! Oh, wait. I can show you!" And she made Sunny look on in shock with Morgana as well yet she had awed orbs at The Sugar Plum Fairy as she shifted temporarily into Sunny and indeed showed his frightful look he had before turning back to herself. He did scream though for only a moment as she looked at him once again amused, and stated with a question at the end, "Another good one! Wanna see?"

"No, no, no." Sunny hastily told her to which she understood and with a hand on her hip and her main hand out, she told him then in gentle order, "Petal." Sunny shuddered as he forced his hand with the petal into the cage, and making Morgana think on how it was possible wit that type of enchanted magic, as the female fairy grabbed the petal, and laughed with Morgana blinking at seeing mini-versions of the fairy herself come when she called out, "Plumettes!"

"Believe you and me, there can be unforeseen consequences," she told the two with Sunny asking before Morgana could, to amuse the Sugar Plum Fairy at the child's pout at him for with her crossing her arms to prove the point, "Like what?" She then began to sing while seeing her workers begin the process of extracting Morgana's primrose petal's essence.

Sugar Plum Fairy: "Love~, love is strange."

Morgana saw The Sugar Plum Fairy was indeed making something with the essence, as Sunny told her with slight agreement, but wanted to hear her sing anyways, "Uh, now's not the time for a concert." The Sugar Plum Fairy ignored him though as she kept doing what she was tasked to do.

Sugar Plum Fairy: "Many~ people~ take it for a game."

"No lookie-loos!" She told mostly Sunny as she knew the type of race Morgana was, would be hooked onto her progress of making the potion, and did see eyes filled with wonder at her actions like she knew those before her, and resumed the process.

Sugar Plum Fairy: "Once you get~ it, You're in an awful~-"

"What did I say?" She firmly told Sunny who backed off with him gibbering words to himself and turned his back to the cage, and this amused Morgana a bit as she watched on in awe, still, and with seeing the Plumettes adding things into the current essence of the flower petal.

Sugar Plum Fairy: "'Cause after you've had~ it~, you never want to quit~."

"If you think making the potion's dangerous, wait till you use it," she tells the two with seeing minor sparks of inward explosions coming from the essense itself and with her and Sunny wary a bit, more to the Elf itself, at how bright it was going on inside the webbed cage.

After the small explosions, she resumed singing and continuing her work.

Sugar Plum Fairy: "Love~ is~ strange~."

Morgana ignored Sunny ducking for cover as she watched with a slight few steps back at seeing The Sugar Plum Fairy was expanding the mixture she was making to huge proportions while singing to herself a bit loudly, love, and condensed it within moments with multitude of colors now the mixture had.

"Is strange~! Oh I'm so good, it scares me!" She excitedly admits to herself in a way, Morgana thought she was actually happy at making this potion after what she guessed, was years on not doing so, as it seems she was having fun while doing it as well.

Meanwhile while this was going on, The Bog King flew back into his castle and to the one minion returning, asked firmly to him, "Are they taken care of?" The minion shook his head no and told his king, "They're slippery little devils."

The Bog King muttered under his breath as he went further ahead into his castle, before encountering his mother within the large throne room who stated, hi, to him as he quickly turned back around and told her firmly in a wary way, trying to avoid her on foot, "Mom, no." His mother, to mention, is a goblin with short red hair, a dark green leafy dress, a headdress with stones, and a stoney snake-chain necklace.

"Oh, relax your thorax." She began with bringing out a few females to try and get her son interested, with each girl named based on a grasshopper, a female bully-like troll, and a brown hercules beetle, "Feast your eyes on Maxine, and she's into fungi." "No-" "Lakeesha's hobby is killing frogs." "Mom!" Here his mother groans before introducing the last girl, "And Mayka is into guarding and proving herself." "Not interested."

She walked over to her son while telling him in a way, he rolled his eyes at, "All you need is somebody to-" her son stopped her to make her give him a look, as the three girls discussed things amongst themselves, "What is it with men? They can't say that word, lo-" he stopped her from talking by holding her lips closed and she mumbled in a way he understood with a sigh, "This is what I get for carrying you twenty-three months in my womb?"

"Promise you'll stop talking?" He warily asked her to know he wanted her to stop right now, and after seeing her nod once, let her go and held his ears within moments as she sang the word, love, loudly.

Back to the trio of Morgana, Sunny, and The Sugar Plum Fairy, the fairy herself was still making the potion, and was nearly done with Morgana being impressed by the bottle design of the potion itself, and pouring the mixed essence into it too.

Sugar Plum Fairy: "Once you get it~, you're in for an awful~ fix."

Sunny began to reach in and this time, not shuddering by his shrunken hand before she took it back and stated manly to herself as if she forgot, which what occurred, "Whoops! I almost forgot the last step!"

Plumettes (Together): "Once you've had~ it, you never wanna~ quit."

Morgana was curious as to why the female fairy kissed the bottle but saw the insides began to glow and turn bright-pink and dimly glowing within, and pulled away in a pleased smile with the duo being amused at Sunny expecting another explosion, but told him mostly since he requested the bottle anyways, with Morgana listening more than him, and motioned her words with her body as well, "Directions: Dust the one you love. Stand in front. Be the first she sees when she opens her eyes." As she spoke though, her servants did make a fancy cork and placed it on top of the bottle.

"Got it! Dust the first eyes you see, be in the front, and stand on the one you love!" Sunny tells himself aloud to make the female fairy pleased he did listen at least, "Now, pull!" She tells him to which for some reason, something was preventing it yet Morgana aided him, and with a bit of effort, managed to extract The Sugar Plum Fairy from her webbed cage and be freed.

"Sunny, Morgana," The Sugar Plum Fairy sniffled in growing joy, as the Elf replied to her with Morgana blinking on how she knew her true name, "Yeah?" She swirled for a few moments of her freedom and told them both, mainly him though since he fulfilled his deal to her, "I know what set me free." "Me?" Sunny responded by placing a hand to his heart, with her singing once again, but a bit loudly.

Sugar Plum Fairy: "Love~ is strange~,"

Meanwhile as she sang, The Bog King began to defend himself against Lakeesha as she charged at him, and caught her easily from struggling yet holding onto her horns but soon let go when he got accidentally poked by Mayka as she had some flowers in her hands and looking at him expectantly, which he moved her to the side and noticed Maxine had lipstick on her maw and began to approach him seductively before he knew it, he was surrounded by all three girls with them dancing and circling him at his forced spot.

Of course he was also irritated with his mother at singing as well.

"Stop!" He declared with purposely making them jump when he slammed his staff's end onto the ground before they began hearing sing-based echoing within the castle.

"Sugar Plum? She can't be…" He tells himself in shock before hastily taking off from his mother and so-called girls chosen for him, as with the trio, Morgana and Sunny soon got out with also helping the female fairy as well from her cage, and she was still joyous of being free after so long.

She then zoomed all around the dungeon and saw Morgana looking amused before shrugging as if to wordlessly state what, as they watched her declaring she was free, before coming back to them after he tried to get her to stop, "Quiet! We're gonna get caught!" She zoomed past them though still and declaring she was free, "Free? We're still in the dungeon?"

Sunny shook his head with pocketing the bottle of love potion into his sack within a few seconds as she finally came back and told the two in happiness and excitement, and with Morgana ignoring Sunny's words of her being crazed, "I'm free. Did I mention I'm free?"

"Quietly." Sunny whispered to her to make The Sugar Plum Fairy blink, understood, and began to follow both him and Morgana before she stopped and declared to them, "Wait!"

"What?" Sunny stated out of being startled by her response to which Morgana only shook her head at her friend as they gazed at the female fairy when she questioned them, "How did you find me?"

Sunny was going to state things yet blinked as Morgana took over with making the female fairy blink a few times yet had a scowl on her face with understanding what creature she was describing to her, even showing examples, "He is white furred, about half Sunny's height, and with fox ears and beady black eyes, M'am."

Sugar Plum lost her scowl while understanding things from the child's perspective and corrected her firstly, "Don't call me M'am, Morgana, as it makes me sound like my mother before she was lost to the wars." But then she corrected the two with her looking to be mixed, "The Imp," she even shifted into him in a way to make fun of the creature as where he was, he sneezed before waiting for the two he brought to the Dark Kingdom, to come back, "Oh, he wants the potion. Loves to spread it around like goblin dung."

Seeing she had the child's attention but not Sunny's, "Hey!" "What?" He told her with being irritated to which she gave him a look as The Imp, before warning them both as she shifted for a moment as her true self beforehand, "Never let this Imp," here she chittered like him in a mocking way before pointing to his bag where the bottle was, "Get that potion!"

"Okay-" Sunny began with trying to urge the female fairy to hurry, until the trio stiffened with even seeing the servants for The Sugar Plum Fairy stills as well by hearing some roaring, and they quickly hid under the stairs with seeing the Bog King and some of his minions passed by in haste, and stated denial words of 'No', to himself, with him pointing sharply to Thang first, "Thang, sound the alarm!" Thang tried to do it but failed with The Bog King avoiding spit, and then he pointed to Stuff, "Stuff! Sound the alarm!" Stuff began to do it better then their comrade without them seeing the trio take off and up the stairs.

Though it didn't help much as Sugar Plum zoomed past them with Stuff still bellowing loudly in the castle, as she zoomed into the air to distract some minions ahead of the duo, "I'm free!"

"She's free?" All the goblins stated as one n being stupefied at this outcome, with Sunny going with Morgana as they tried to calmly go through the large crowd of goblins, until they stilled with them all being gazed at within moments when Sugar Plum without realizing things, ratted them out, "Sunny! Morgana! Hurry!" Both Sunny and Morgana gave sheepish looks at the Goblins before taking off and without realizing it, split from each other.

"Oopsie." Sugar Plum told herself before dodging The Bog King and with him holding her webbed cage, with her not wanting to return to it ever again, and even sending her servants to distract him for a small moment of time, and with him shooing them away without it working.

With Sunny, however, he dodged-rolled and maneuvered with ease the larger portion of the goblins chasing him, which included Thang and Stuff, and with him screaming frantically as he huffed and puffed in fright without anyone realizing the eyes of the skull glowed once again before they dimmed, and he would have been nearly caught too if it wasn't for The Imp nabbing him within seconds before he was caught, and perplexing them all alongside mainly both Thang and Stuff.

"Gotcha / Yeah!" They both stated before calling onto the path's ground while easily avoiding the ravine on either side, and stood up then in confusion, "Huh? Where did he go?" "He disappeared." Stuff stated while rubbing their head in confusion still, "Can Elves disappear?" Thang asked Stuff to which they shrugged, "If they're magic." That alarmed Thang, "Is he magic?" Stuff was getting irritated with knowing this was bad news, and told Thang, "Well, he disappeared!"

Meanwhile with Sugar Plum, she was still evading The Bog King and nearly succeeded yet he managed to finally capture her back into her shrunken self within the web prison and with her actually cursing to herself at this outcome, "Never again." He told her firmly with panted breath.

With Sunny and The Imp, she shouted mostly to him to which he didn't see The Imp eying the bottle in his bag, "Sunny! Remember what I told you!" Without warning, with The Imp knowing the child wasn't with the Elf and must still be inside, unexpectedly jumped onto his back and tried to get the bottle from his bag, before Sunny accidentally flung him into the ravine, and made him gasp, "Uh oh…" Seeing the rope moving, he told The Imp loudly in apology, "I'm sorry, but I have to do this," he removed the latch of the rope and caused it to fall, alongside The Imp. "The Plum warned me about you!"

He was going to take off, but hesitated and went back to the gap to the ravine from the inside of the log, "Oh no… Are you okay, little guy? Little guy?" His voice echoed a bit when he said the last two words before being slightly relieved at hearing The Imp chitter back in reply, "Oh, good. Bye!" Sunny then took off and expected Morgana to be able to handle herself, from hearing some of her tales she told before her becoming statues with the other two.

Meanwhile back with The Bog King and Sugar Plum, he shook her cage and roared at her in anger before stating firmly in a knowing question, "What did you do?"

"Well," she began reluctantly, "The elf asked me with his friend to make the love potion-" "But you didn't have a primrose petal," he stopped her to which she ignored by shifting into Sunny, and then holding the very rare version of the primrose petal, much to The Bog King's shock at this and more, "And he brought me a special primrose petal from the aid of the girl-" He stopped her then with realizing things fully, "You made the potion?" She shifted back to herself and pointed on purpose to him, admitting things of his past deeds, "Just like I did for you on that fateful day you never ever, ever let me talk about."

"Where is he?" He demanded her to which she chuckled a few moments and admitted with knowing what season this was, "Halfway to the Elf Festival by now."

Once he was on the ground with the twig secured, he roared to himself in slight frustration, paused for a moment as he can deal with things later, and questioned her firmly to make her gulp by his next stated question, "What do you mean, he had help of a girl?"

Speaking of the girl, Morgana that is, she was currently hiding in a crack within the wall that she was thankful of her body being able to fit into, and let out a sigh of relief s a few goblins passed by her and ignore the ranting her weapon was giving her within her head as she started to think of a way to try and get out of here.

Once the last Goblin passed and waited at least a few moments to check, she saw it was clear and cautiously got out of the gap she placed herself in, and knowing she was instantly lost, began to follow her gut and took the right way to maybe find the exit.

She eventually paused mid-step at actually hearing someone around her age, singing to herself closeby, and despite wanting to try and find a way out, she instead chose to follow the voice and managed to avoid the guards and minions of The Bog King, and blinked back surprise at finding it was a girl around her age who oddly… With Morgana looking at her hands and her body, and to the girl, stated to herself quietly in disbelief seeing she was reading a book, and appeared to be working on something with singing of a past time to aid her, "Is she?"

It was The Bog King's half-sister, Nina Oakflight, but she wore a battle-style version of her dress when she was younger, and wore some type of material over her hands that didn't hold back her claws to know they were some type of working-based fingerless gloves, and the dress only went up to her mid-stomach with revealing some of her slightly toned midsection she had, which she also had a decently sized B-Cup for her age, and wore flexible stitched trousers that not only matched the dress in color, but went up to the top of her ankles and did show her leg structure a bit in a nice yet tight-fitting way. She also appeared to be around Morgana's current height, and her body didn't change that much except her tail was a few inches longer, and her wings slightly bigger with the holes healed over, to make her still be petite yet cute for her age, to mention again, but also slightly lean in light muscle.

Mostly and not known to Morgana, her hinted muscles were from the vigorous training and more she has done over the last few years to get her health better to which she still has specific issues they have yet to resolve over, and to her hobbies as well, which Morgana kept still to where she was and kept her back to the wall to try and still hide as she heard Nina mutter to herself before seeing she used a quill on some parchment, "So it seems my last attempt to make a glowing nightlight potion, failed, with some setbacks for a few days… Maybe if I can add some purified spider webs and some fallen teeth from a lizard who wouldn't mind, it might work to maybe replicate it."

Nina paused after her ears twitched slightly as Morgana, if she could, hid further against the wall to try and not be fully seen as she inwardly cursed to herself at seeing she stepped on a small trail of randomly placed twigs that did lead to the room as well to know Nina used them either recently or earlier, "Who's there?"

Morgana kept quiet yet she heard shuffling from Nina's feet to know she got up, and kept quiet, before she was forced to run into her from seeing some goblins patrolling, and she did let out a startled yet quiet yelp as she landed on top of her with the Potter Heiress' tail moving frantically a bit to accidentally shut the door, and the patrol unit paused but shrugged as if it was normal as they walked by.

Nina did freeze at seeing a girl somewhat like her to have her think the same way Morgana did, but they both frantically got up and moved to opposite sides of her room, and she stuttered out seeing Morgana looked reluctant to do so, "W-Who are you?" She paused and asked once more to add to her previous question, "And why do you look like me a bit?"

"I should be asking you the same question here," Morgana only told her with her stiffening at hearing a patrol with her ears twitching a few times on that, which Nina noticed and questioned her curiously yet with hinted obvious to make Morgana sigh at her for, "Are you in trouble?"

"Sort of," Morgana replied with her crossing her arms with Nina understanding as it was about time, due to her secretly visiting the person Morgana mentioned, from time to time, "Sunny and I freed The Sugar Plum Fairy not too long ago, and I don't want to get caught by the guards."

"Well, she would want to take any chances to be free as she's been imprisoned by my big brother for sometime," Nina admits to make Morgana's previous words be caught in her throat, blinked a few times at Nina, and asked suspiciously with mixed wariness to only make her be perplexed by, "By Big Brother… You don't mean The Bog King, right?"

"If you mean Boggistine the Third Jefferson Shadeweave? Ya," Nina made a face when she said her brother's true name though, to make Morgana despise her situation, to let out a soft chuckle at guessing The Bog King dislikes his full name, and with seeing that her current company was at least friendly, with even seeing she offered a seat for her with telling her then, "The guards won't come into my room unless Big Brother orders them, as he respects my privacy. So you should be safe…" Morgana got the hint as she held her arm out, and they introduced themselves.

After that, Nina did mention she was researching about the Spirit of Nature and more for her experiments to make Morgana blink, twice at this, and making Nina be perplexed before both curiosity and being surprised showed on her face when Morgana not only showed her hammerspace in front of her, but of the item her Godfather gave her a while back, "Uncle Siri mentioned about what you were looking into, and told me about this dimension being close to the Aeon of Nature, as I know from King Dagda, his wife made a carpet rug featuring that too, from history."

"May I see that?" Nina asked with her hand out to which Morgana only shrugged, and once placed into her hand, the seal to their surprise, fell off and then leapt from her grasp and was floating by the enchantments it was made, in plain view for the duo as they saw the map reveal itself to the entirety of the kingdoms.

"Astounding… It seems that this was indeed made a long while ago, but has some current territories that's a bit outdated," Nina tells Morgana with observing the sketched landmarks and whatnot to which Morgana eyed the same things, with seeing to make Nina shocked from comparing her own smaller spare map with the parchment sketches, told her to make Morgana pale over as she heard about it as some small stories from Marianne, "There is indeed a temple! But it's in the forbidden area further out in the Dark Forest itself, but around somewhere in the Field of Nightmares."

"The Field of Nightmares? Seems gaining access to that Aeon might be difficult from what I was told," Morgana tells Nina to which she only nodded, and blinked at not knowing this, "That, and a rumored cult as took borders around that area that my Big Brother has been keeping tabs on with them not pulling anything yet, but know they have a familiar sigil as their banner, which besides my projects, I'm trying to find out for him since he knows I can read more better then him, as I even taught myself to read ancient languages."

Now this made Morgana be impressed by her and stilled Nina as she sharply turned to her by her own stray comment to herself, with a hand to her chin in thought as she was writing the coordinates to where the temple was, down, and got it in time as the scroll itself folded itself up with the seal back on it, "So would that mean your closer to one of the researcher types of my kind with using magic in attacks, or something?"

"What do you mean by that?" Nina questioned Morgana to make her gaze at her new friend for a moment or two, and told her in a few short minutes as to what she only knew, but made Morgana blink in turn by Nina's own admission back with her muttering it out loud of her own thoughts, "Well, that explains why back then of what Mama was, as she could also do stuff like you've been doing, with your magic too."

"Well, at least I know I may be the last of my type, but there are others out there…" Morgana agreed before tailing off, and then added with a shrug, "Who knows, maybe our race scattered over something, not sure, as Uncle Frost has only little information about the Chaosarinians."

Nina only nodded before they both stilled with hearing her door being gently pounded as she responded and wordlessly told Morgana to hide in her closet, "Nina, it's me. May I enter?" It was The Bog King that entered, to see from the slots placed in the custom closet door for her friend with him giving his little half-sister a look at easily seeing she was hiding something, and stated to make her hesitant laugh after, "You're not going to try and make another explosion like earlier, are you? from trying to perfect the one solution you're making as a project?"

Morgana did wonder where that explosion came from to soon make Nina pout as he rubbed her hair gently with sibling affection and her waving him back at that with telling him then, in a slight pout with blushing, "I didn't know that adding 75% nitrate, 15% charcoal, and 10% sulfur would cause that big of a bang to my solution… Though, it does make good for the future progress of knocking things down though."

Despite sweat dropping at what his more scientific half-sibling stated, he noticed her desk that held the scroll, grabbed it with not seeing Nina was suddenly nervous and with Morgana hiding the urge to gasp, as The Bog King knew that this was not part of their archives, which thankfully, was a mile away from their kingdom in a secret cave as he provides guarded escort for his sister to come and go as she pleases for that, "Where did you get this?"

"Ummm… I found it?" Nina feebly tells him to get him to narrow his eyes, and yet before he could say anything, they sharply turned to the closet as Morgana tripped, and forced the door open to get not only some spare notes to fall on her, but clothing as well to make The Bog King gaze at his sister sternly as the Potter Heiress hid the urge to yelp when she was easily picked up by the scruff of her clothing and pointed wordlessly to his little sister, to explain.

After he was told by both girls, he held the urge to groan to himself as he told Nina then, and with Morgana blinking at The Bog King in utter shock by his firm words, "Well, since it seems you're friends, she can stay until I decide to let her go as a stay-in prisoner of my kingdom. As she still has to pay the price of releasing… Her."

"But Big Brother-" Nina began yet he gave her a sharp look to which she stopped immediately at trying to tell him off, "My words are final. She won't be sent to the dungeons if that's your worries, Little Flare, but she has to have an escort out of these palaces walls and at least one or two guarded escorts as she's your responsibility for hiding her in the first place."

Nina glanced to her upset friend and back to her firm looking brother, and sighed and only nodded once to get him satisfied, "Good," he made the two girls blink with Morgana going wide-eyed at to what he told Nina then with being worried, "I have slight plans tonight, as I am heading out as we speak, to a party of sorts. So mind Mother, and no explosions at all, is that clear?" Seeing Nina nod again, satisfied him even more as he then left before she was glancing at Morgana then, and saw she only sighed out mainly to herself, "What party is that?"

Later on within the one town Sunny lives in, it was nighttime and the festival was on its way, as the Elves themselves were preparing their annual dance part of the festival, and with everyone having fun and a blast.

Marianne was with her father alongside Dawn near the stage in plain sight, and hid her worries for now as to why Morgana has yet to show up, alongside both seeing how distressed yet forced-accepting both Chipana and Cassie was as they stood next to her, with Cassie hanging onto a small wrapped gift for their shared soulmate they managed to find, at a good price that is.

Sirius and his wife were not there but getting things around back in their home in case Morgana did show up at some point, and other things with a given task by The King himself.

"Booty! Prepare for dancing!" Sunny tells himself on stage as the elves began to dance with him still hanging onto his bag, with the potion of course still in it, as Marianne was then forced to dance with the elves with Dawn looking sheepish as she was forced to stay by her father's side.

Roland and his three triplet minions were here as well, with one nudging him and telling him, at the same time, "Ok, she's here." Roland was placed by this, and wrapped his arms in satisfaction to two of his three lackeys then, "By the end of the night, she will know she will love me."

Sunny: "Say, hey! I be gone today! I'll be back around the way! Seems~ like everywhere I go, the more I see, the less I know~!"

As Sunny was signing on the stage to keep the festivities up, Dawn noticed a few guards with her father nudging her back, as she waved in a flirtatious way and with one guard only doing so for a moment before going back to watch the crowd.

Sunny though as he was singing, danced up to the point that Dawn didn't notice him though, and was on his knees for only a moment with a heart-based gesture with his hands at her that no one but Chipana and Cassie noticed as Cassie was lightly swatted in the arm by Chipana at making gestures at him.

He was disappointed at not being noticed, however, but he kept singing, and also noticed Roland and his three lackeys, and did a gesture to his bag to get the blonde fairy to only nod in understanding with holding back a smirk to himself at seeing the glowing contents, as Sunny kept dancing and singing on stage, and joined the dancing elves, which Marianne noticed in moments.

Meanwhile in the festive part, The Imp himself, was searching for Sunny as he tracked his scent to this hometown of his, and knew the Elf had to be somewhere so he could nab the potion and do his plans.

It was then he spotted the ferris wheel, and after stealing a candied blueberry treat from a child, easily jumped and landed casually into one of the seats to try and see things from a higher perspective.

Back with Marianne as Sunny kept singing his heart out, she rolled her eyes at Roland's attempt to come over to her via dancing, and managed to sneak off and went up to her sister and father, and spoke to her mostly, "Dawn! Roland's here. So I'm leaving!" She did take off in flight without King Dagda getting a chance to stop her, and caused his watch over his younger daughter to head off and start flirting, much to his annoyance at that, and landed in front of Roland.

Cassie though noticed the bottle in Sunny's bag out of sheer curiosity, and nudged Chipana who only shook her head at their friend's antics before looking where Cassie is pointing and only raised a wordless eyebrow while crossing her arms of, what about it, to her.

While King Dagda was regretting the genders of his two children, Roland was trying with avoiding Dawn's advances at Sunny, who was distracted at singing too much with trying to open the bottle, of the current plan going on.

Marianne though felt depressed a bit as she landed onto one of the nearby homes of the festival and on the roof itself, looking distracted and not watching her surroundings as well to be considered an eased target, but thanks to her swordsmanship, would be aware by things.

Back with The Imp, he was licking and taking small nibbles of the treat as it has been a while since he had this, nearing the top of the wheel itself, and stood up with ease at finally spotting not only Sunny, but the potion itself.

Not known to anyone else though, The Goblins of The Bog King's Army, finally showed themselves crawling on top of the decorations and whatever of the stage itself, as Sunny complained when trying to open the bottle, and began replacing the musicians themselves on stage, one by one, that is.

Marianne at her spot, heard the tune change into something sour, and glanced to only do a wide-eyed double take at seeing Goblins playing the instruments to know something was about to go downhill, and fast, especially some burlier goblins approaching Sunny and took off to the stage.

Cassie and Chipana though, kicked a few guards as they both got onto the stage to impress The Bog King a bit, right where it counts before being grabbed and placed into rucksacks as hostages, as at the same time, Sunny caught the potion the flew into the air by him and managed to finally open it, and with the third spin of the wheel, The Imp quickly devoured the treat in one bite along with tossing the stick used, and leaps off of it with a perfect angle to where Sunny was.

While Roland told Sunny off, Marianne arrived in time to try and use her weapon against the Goblins, but was soon overwhelmed as at least four held her down and another burly Goblin snatched her weapon and as one of the beak-based Goblin's told another two who had their last rucksack, from seeing how rough Marianne was to widen her eyes and did state her sister's name, but failed at getting her attention, "Go grab the other one as she's too feisty!" Her weapon, Heartsbane, was forcibly placed and stuck in the wooden stage nearby her to make a statement, however.

Sunny at this point, stops himself from splashing Dawn with the potion with getting awareness around him as she greeted him casually with a small wave, at being happy with also being blissfully unaware of the goblins, like him, right now in the area, "Hi Sunny."

It was at this awkward time that Sunny was knocked over by The Imp with some blueberry juice around the rims of his maw, and the two began to struggle once again to have the item, but this time, it was the bottle of the Love Potion itself.

Roland snuck away at feeling the opportunity to come, and hide as well from the Goblins, as Dawn stood there in shock and bafflement as to what she was watching, of a white furred creature she never seen before trying to snatch a glowing bottle from her friend, on stage, and also took note of the Goblins to know something was up.

It was matter of seconds that Marianne finally took note and understood from her spot as to what Sunny held, as she stated more to herself in utter horror and shock, as the slight contents spilled out and immediately sprayed her sister's eyes with it, just as two Goblins snatched her up into the rucksack, and took off with her, "Love Potion! No!"

"Guards! Get them!" King Dagda said, realizing they were overwhelmed by Goblins as he too, was pinned down like his soldiers, and took note that the two other children were missing.

The festival was surrounded by the Goblins as Dawn, while still aware due to being blocked from full sight, called out to her trusted friend, "Sunny! Help!" He heard her, with him trying to keep The Imp away from the potion, but knew he could do nothing as the Goblins took his crush away, "Dawn!" And it after he said that, The Imp managed to wrestle him away from the bottle of Love Potion with using his tail as an extra hand, snatched it, and leps off his head and takes off away from the away in haste with Sunny stating to himself miserably, "I'm sorry Sugar Plum Fairy."

"Where's my potion!" A voice stated loudly as the Goblins managed to get used to the instruments and proceeded on playing music to introduce him, as the stage did light up with fireworks as he showed himself after, from the smoke fading away with singing as well, and the music going along with his words, at the same time.

The Bog King: "I've been~ mistreated… I've~ been abused~!"

Two random Elf females saw him and left in panic not due to his looks, but because of them being in plain site for possible capture, to which he ignored, and kept singing with ignoring the fearful or glaring looks he was getting by the pinned down folk as he walked over to the pinned down Sunny and Marianne and eyeing the weapon of hers.

The Bog King: "I've been trespassed and invaded~..."

He easily grabs Heartsbane, and tosses it into the air to make Marianne grit her teeth for only a moment at that, with seeing him show off as well by his actions, as he continued to sing, undeterred at all, with using his staff weapon to point at the crowd, and then right to Marianne as well with her making a face at hm for.

The Bog King: "And I am~ not amused~!"

"Dawn! No!" Sunny exclaimed to get Marianne's attention as the same Goblins it seemed didn;t fully leave at all, and struggled but carried the struggling fairy in a rucksack, to the stage and before their king's feet, and before Sunny could struggle out of the one Goblin's grip that has him pinned, he nearly got struck by Heartsbane falling, blade first, into the stage where his hand was going to be.

As a lone Goblin began to struggle at moving the bag further to the center of the stage, The Bog King kept singing loudly in a statement to the crowd and gesturing and using his staff as well, to know he means business.

The Bog King: "I've been insulted~, disrespected~! I've been mistreated~!"

At the end of those words, Marianne and the others widen their eyes at seeing not only but three struggling rucksack bags to know that Chipana and Cassie must have either been captured by force, or unawares, as eight Goblins flew away to what they can figure, was to the castle in the Dark Forest, with The Bog King looking serious then.

Marianne, however, struggled harshly to the point that the two burly Goblins actually struggled but kept her pinned after, to try and insult the Goblin King of the Dark Forest, to which he glared at her with showing his teeth as point, "Release my sister and friends, you scaly-back cockroach!"

Roland was impressed from his spot, but hid from the one burly Goblin close by as The Bog King, from the stage, only flew and landed in front of her as he firmly told her loud enough to get everyone's attention, "Return the Love Potion by moon down, tough-girl! Or you will never see your sister or friends again, especially the one still at my kingdom."

"I'll have your head on a stick!" She threatened him with now knowing where Morgana was, and being able to get a brief glimpse of freedom and punched The Bog King's left cheek in a harsh punch to stun him for a moment in shock, and hearing the crowd gasp at this as well.

He did rub his cheek with soon getting angry from this as the two Goblins forced her down once again, and turned sharply to her then with anger clearly shown on his face, and was going to strike her down until Sunny declared, and making everyone turn to him then by his words, "Take me instead! I took the Love Potion!"

"Sunny!" Marianne declared to him in utter shock and other feelings at his words, as the Bog King walked on the stage over to him, and firmly questioned him in wanting information, "Then give it back!" Of course he was right up the brown-haired Elf's face to which he nearly gulped but told him back in a wary reply, and not making the Bog King pleased by them, "I… I don't have it."

The Bog King, while not pleased, ignored Sunny's scrunched eyes as he growled to himself and used his wings to easily fly up into the air as he addressed everyone in demanding order, "You heard my terms! By moon down or all of you will be next!" He then began flying around his soldiers and minions as they proceeded to leave the area then, in haste as well, with the Bog King flying easily around and finishing his song-based words.

Of course he showed off by using his staff as a mic, and sang right in front of a struggling Marianne's face and catching her failed punch this time in a firm grip, of course, with a smirk as he did so.

The Bog King: "I've been insulted~, disrespected~, I've been mistreated~! x2"

As soon as most of the army left, the two smug burly Goblin's managed to maneuver themselves with one nabbing Heartsbane in a smug threat to Marianne, but she casually kicked the sword with it fly-rotating into the aid and catching it with ease, and making them flee at that display of skill with her going to pursue them… For only for her father to snatch her right foot to stop her.

"Dad!" Marianne exclaimed, yet he stated loudly and firmly to her in order, "I forbid you to fly to the Dark Forest!"

"But Dad, I let this happen!" Marianne states to him in emotions of self-anger, regret, and more he half-detected while placing her down with seeing her face as well, "I have to get her- Them back!"

"I have to get Dawn and your friends back," he corrected her with seeing his face for once looking regretful to stun her by this yet before she could mention anything, she felt mixed by his next set of words to try and know, he was thinking of her as well, "I have to keep you safe."

"No need to worry," a voice interrupted their family moment, to see it was Roland coming out of his spot approaching them, and making Marianne roll her eyes in inward irritation and anger, "I will save the Princess and her friends! That and I was fighting a dozen Goblins." He stated for his excuse of hiding.

"Roland! Yes!" King Dagda stated in a way, Marianne groaned to herself over, "What do you need!" With that, he didn't see the glint in the blonde fairy's eyes at this opportunity, and began telling him in earnest, "I need an army-" "Ugh! We can't trust him!" Marianne interrupts Roland to her father, yet the blonde was not deterred and continued his demands to the king, "And weapons!"

While ignoring Roland's demands to her father and with King Dagda's hand on her left shoulder, with her noticing Sunny on the ground nearby her, declared firmly to get him to be the center of attention by the other Elves, "Sunny! What were-" she shrugged off her father's hold on her before he secured her in place and resumed listening to Roland, "What were you thinking!?"

"I don't know," he only tells her in disappointment and few other emotions he was showing, with sadness being one of them that the brunette female fairy princess detected, but didn't care about that as she told herself, "What do we do?" Her father heard her of course and the tone of voice of worry for her sister and friends, "We have to… Dawn! She's not strong enough! She's not going to…" Marianne was distraught at thinking of the complications and whatever else may befall Dawn and the others the longer The Bog King has them, that, and whom her baby sister may end up forced-falling in love with.

"I'll go rescue her!" Sunny tells Marianne to which she gave him a firm look and shook her head, no, to him and stated more to herself in growing determination right there and then, despite not wanting to head back into that place, "No! No, it's too dangerous!" Sunny disagreed, "No, but I can!" She disagreed with him back, "No! I'm the only one who can." Her voice was set in stone by what Sunny mainly heard.

"So what should I do?" He asked her to which she gave him a look of determination with mixed trust combined, to know he would have to earn it back somehow, and this was part of it, "You! Get the potion back! I'll get my sister and our friends!" She then took off without warning and stunning King Dagda with him trying yet failed this time to catch his eldest child, as she flew in the direction to the Dark Forest.

"Looks like I got to rescue two princesses… Well, five, if Lady Morgana and the others are involved." Roland tells himself by flicking his hair and this time, ignoring some female Elves closeby swooning over that as they fainted from his slight habit.

"Sunny!" King Dagda firmly shouted in order to him to which he declared a hasty 'What' as he was still on his hands and knees on the ground as the king pointed directly at him with firm eyes, "If anything happens to my daughters… I'm holding you personally responsible!" At the end Sunny winced as the king declared that, and left with Roland smirking to himself and quickly added to make the brown-haired Elf wince again to himself, "This is all your fault!" At that, the other Elves closeby all stare at him to make him shrink into himself, from the circle they had him in.

As soon as The King and Roland left to discuss further things, one Elf stated to Sunny to make him sigh to himself, "You got nearly everyone killed!" And with nearly everyone agreeing with the one Elf.

"Ya, I know. I know," Sunny tells them all as he stood up, "But look. Dawn, she's my best friend. But she's our princess, and even Mary and her two friends are the heroes of that day to our town," at that, the crowd murmured and agreed partially to that, "Now together we must- No, no! Together we must- We will rescue them! Rescue the girls and Dawn from the cruel grasp of the Dark Forest! Whose with me!" It was tense silence except for cricket chirping to which everyone looked at the insect who stopped, and sheepishly moved back a few steps at the trait of chirping by randomness for music.

"No volunteers?" Sunny asked them warily as they all backed up except for one bigger Elf, Pare, was perplexed as Sunny hugged him as he wasn't even paying attention at all up to this point. "Haha! Thanks man!" Wary of this, he backed up to only have everyone else do the same to get Pare at this point to groan to himself at that.

After a while, or close to thirty minutes or so, Roland was by himself as his triplet lackeys were fetching him some snacks and drinks of the still ongoing festival, when he stilled as a cloaked person came over to him and stood silent, and then eventually spoke in a way, he caught Roland's interest over, despite seeing his glowing eyes under the monkey-like mask he has, "You are in interest of power, are you not?"

"What if I am, stranger?" Roland responded with his guard up, to which he saw the man raise his hands up as if he was offended, and told him then with not seeing in the background, another cloaked person with his own glowing eyes with had crossed pupils, was eavesdropping from his partner's dealings, and drinking some cider provided by the festival staff, "What if I can give you an army in case you no longer have one? An army that will obey you to the fullest, and also power and more?"

"I'm listening," Roland now tells him with complete interest as under the ape-like mask, the person was inwardly pleased by this outcome, and began walking with Roland as everyone didn't see the cloaked ape-masked man as is, but as another royal guard from an illusion he placed up, "I can get you all as I said, even a kingdom filled with until riches and you have the power to even force that brunette to be under your service as a trophy wife and more, too? You just have to do a tiny, incy-wincy little thing while you go save the princesses."

"And that may be?" Roland said as he was truly interested in this deal, if the person can make it happen, and somehow sensing his doubts, he pointed to two Elves as he only nodded once to know what he was paying attention to now, "See those two Elves? The greedy couple wanted to win prizes and more, and I offered them in a way that could be done, alongside ending up as owners to a so-called mine near the borders of the Fairy Kingdom itself. And you know how hard that booth there is, with the way the mechanics work."

Roland did see the hardest booth there is with all the prizes still on there, and blinked in shock as both Elves easily won it by a one-shot take, and making the crowd cheer at the booth finally being beaten at it's own game, to the booth owner's pout as they gave the female Elf the largest stuffed toy that was the most prized item, and then seeing the supposed couple paying for too much food with the right amount of currency.

"Now you believe me?" The man tells Roland who nodded dumbly and still in shock, before leading him to a picnic table with soon being served food he didn't order, but apparently seeing the glazed eyes of the waitress, the man did without thought, "I can make true deals without the cost of the soul, but can trick others with a simple gaze of my unique eyes I have, when I activate them that is. My power was gifted to me by a former master of mine, and I have served a higher one ever since by my old master's dying words of my current, providing me with more power for anything alongside my other comrades. Though a small fee of an item or something I desire must be required for the deal to take full effect, however… Something worth my interest, as those two offered a treasured item, which I took."

Roland seemed to be debating on this, by the face he was making, and eventually it appeared that he decided, under the mask of the cloaked man he was smirking in a way, a specific entity sneezed at in an old mansion in some woods while sharpening a bloody knife.

I wonder what deal Roland would make to gain this type of dark power? And speaking of, what power may it be for a "Plan C" in motion, now?

Now, if you guys noticed in this chapter-part of this arc, that I used Dungeon and Dragon Characters? Well, the monster race for a start. There is a reason for that as the newest movie not only inspired me to try and make my designs of some monsters or individuals now based on it, but also, part of the game itself as oddly enough, a "Ranger Class" named after my "World of Warcraft Character" himself.

Other than that, I hope you are all enjoying the arc itself, and are looking forward to the next arc chapter as I decided to adjust things of the hinted "Aeon of Nature" to be something unexpected, but memorable, all the same, and no, not the three trio bug ladies from FFX/FFX-2 Games (which might make an appearance as a traveling inter-dimensional salesfolk), but it is something that has been coming for quite some time.

Also, there is going to be a reason as to what is going on as well, as I have an idea of the Love Potion having adverse effects to close proximity to specific races, but not going to spoil as to what the effects are as it also affects their bonded as well, and at least I will spoil this: It will not be perverse kind of way, but something interesting of course, and chaotic.

And if you guys are wondering if Morgana is going to summon someone random into the story, like she did with Stitch way back? Just wait and see as who knows, it could also be someone else that does it as I have some surprises in store based on the bonding of her soulmates.

Speaking of Stitch from the franchise series/movies, Lilo and Stitch, yes I do plan to add them into this story at some point, but not now. But I know that they will indeed be part of Morgana's actual world though, and yes, I will be adding specific individuals later on in the story itself, and my others, too… But in truth, I have been having on my mind lately a Crossover Fic based on all Vtubers in the existing world, and another Female Harry Potter Story, but might place a pin on that until a later point when I have a lot more chapters involved with my other works, besides this one.

That, and some side-projects from my WRITER'S BLOCK I have done.

Other than that, I hope you like the next arc chapter to this story, and I hope you like the next one.
