"Harry?"

Mama Odie had fainted on top of Ben. When the king saw a man who had been shouting approach them, something inside him also shouted that he was the former king.

"Huh? No, I'm Lucas. Naveen! Tiana!"

The man was more concerned about the woman lying unconscious than the staring boy in front of him.

A few short minutes later, the house where the Mama Odie lived began to show signs that it wouldn't be able to stand for long; apparently there was a reason why the place didn't fall down: magic. Well, this same source was also present in Louis, who from one minute to the next reverted to his primitive behavior, a murderous crocodile.

Ben couldn't let Lucas (Harry) out of his sight, but he had to help those people. The house was holding some injured people from the whirlpools, as well as others who were being attacked by a huge crocodile, which had started attacking whoever it was. It wasn't enough that Jane had been fainting for a few minutes, either from the magic she had from being a fairy or from the fear of being killed by a giant animal. In short, everything with magic was collapsing, including Jane.

"Alice managed to trap Louis in a cage."

Tiana came to tell Ben that she had just helped lower another sick person from the house to the floor.

"Really? Good, I'm sorry about Louis."

"All magic is running out. Naveen called Alladin, we're sending the most serious ones there. Apparently Agrabah has managed to escape from Agatha for the time being."

"Tiana, I'm sorry, I wish I could do more."

Ben confessed. Seeing the whole kingdom like that broke him.

"You can, Lucas is out there. Tell the truth Ben, maybe he's our only solution."

(...)

Harry had a few marks from time, but if you looked into his eyes you could see the same young man as before.

"Hi, you're King Ben, right?"

Lucas asked, gathering wood to light a fire. Ben took courage and went over to him. He had to explain the truth, he just didn't know how.

"Yeah, it's me, can I help?"

In general, Benjamin was very good at socializing, but now it was difficult to say "Hi".

"Sure, let's make a fire to warm people up."

He replied with a friendly smile. The man really had no idea.

"Okay." Ben grabbed some wood and walked over to him. "So, what do you do for a living?"

"I'm an artist, a painter."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you think I'm an idiot, don't you?"

"No, never. My wife also paints, but not as a profession, it's a hobby for her."

"You married Lady Mal?"

Harry asked incredulously, because despite everything he was still an Auradadonian citizen. At that moment Ben remembered that his marriage had been hidden and only his parents and friends knew about it.

"Damn. Yes, but don't tell anyone."

"Okay, I respect crazy love."

"You look older than you sound."

Ben commented.

"Yeah, since we're telling secrets, I'm 44. I don't know why, but I still look like I'm twenty, it sucks."

He joked.

That was a side effect of Rashid's magic. The man didn't age.

"So, from your romantic wisdom I should think you have someone."

"No, my wisdom begins and ends with books. I think painting landscapes takes up too much of my time to have someone."

"Mal wouldn't like you then. She likes to paint what comes into her head, no landscapes or normal places."

"You're really in love, aren't you?"

"Yes, but where does your conclusion come from?"

"Most of the time your subject is her."

He concluded what everyone around Ben knew.

"Really? I don't even notice, but Mal really is my great love."

" Yes, it must be nice to feel that way."

"Yeah."

At that moment Ben wanted to shout that he had had a true love too.

"One question King Ben, why did you call me Harry when you saw me? Did you mistake me for someone else?"

"Why did I call you Harry?" That was the moment, he'd been waiting for a moment like that to say things. "Man, this is a funny story."

"I love a story."

"Really? This is even better."

Ben laughed nervously.

"Are you all right?"

That always happened when he got nervous. Giving up on stalling, the king realized he had to tell him the truth.

"Harry, we need to talk."

"My name is Lucas."

"No, your name is Harry, Harrison actually."

(...)

An hour later Ben had told him everything. His family, his reign, his life in the crown, Agatha's love, the false death and everything he knew about him. However, it was all in vain, since he couldn't remember a thing.

"So, I'm a king?" Lucas tried to understand, still fearful. "My name is Harry? And the madwoman who is destroying everything is only doing this because she loves me and thinks "I" am dead!"

"Making a long story short, yes."

Ben tried to explain, he wasn't stupid, he knew that, it was a lot of information to understand.

"It doesn't make sense, Ben. It's crazy, impossible, there's no way."

"Harry, I mean Lucas, who told you who you are? Or are you going to tell me that you remember every moment of your childhood?"

And that's when Ben hit his nerve. Harry had never really found himself, for him there were several gaps in his life that wouldn't close. Thinking back now, he didn't remember anything, all he knew was what the others had told him.

"That doesn't mean your story is real. I'm an artist, I've lived in New Orleans for five years. I eat rice and steak every day in the same restaurant. My name is Lucas and I have a cat called Carter and I'm not a king!"

"Ben! Ben! "Loonie came out shouting for him. "There's something going on. The spell, something's hitting everyone. I don't know what it is, everyone's falling to the ground feeling some kind of pain I think, an unbearable pain in the chest it seems."

"What? What do you mean?"

Ben looked back and saw the people lying on the ground.

"We need to get out of here now, I'll get Jane."

"Okay, let's go." Ben replied still without reaction. Mulan's daughter started to run back, but stopped at the same moment.

"Loonie, what's up?" Ben asked worriedly. Loonie looked at him trying to say something, but she couldn't and suddenly Ben saw his friend disappear.

The answer was simple: the spell had just hit Mulan and Shang, meaning no Loonie and her brother.

"What happened to her?"

Lucas asked apprehensively.

"Harry, will you give me a chance to prove that what I'm saying is true?"

Ben pleaded, seeing that they were running out of time.

(...)

Auradon

"So, you want me to get there and call for her?"

Harry asked when through Rashid's potion they got there, they were still hiding and couldn't even see the fight that was going on.

" Yes, all you have to do is shout for her and... Mal?"

Ben almost had an outburst when he saw his wife literally flying from one side to the other and was about to go over there, but was stopped by Harry who went ahead and did what he was supposed to do.

"Agatha!"

He shouted after her, who immediately paid attention to him. And twenty years later, they were looking at each other.
