Chapter 23

As I said earlier will be returning to our main characters' point of view and what's going on after the villains have done their thing and Lucy aging Luther OK we'll see what everyone is up to Since Lucy's arrival.

I don't own Timecrest all rice, belong to Sneaky Crab all I own. Are these characters, the OC characters that I made up through the opposite versions OK if that's out-of-the-way we'll get started.

The atmosphere was different. I felt weird, not weird in the best way, but the worst way possible I was in the garden hanging out with my friends when I saw a bright light hit near where Ion was voting above us.

I heard a screaming coming from up top, so we teleported up there what's wrong? Evelyn asked look Scarlet said even though she couldn't see. What do you think we need to be looking at? What happened? What's wrong Pora I asked Scarlet both what's wrong and something wrong. Something is wrong with Luther. What's wrong with him? He was smaller. We could tell that, he looked confused about where he was and he barely knew who we were except maybe Pora but not even that much, and wondering where his parents were and why Ash was so much older than me. He had never seen me before at all.

he looked around the room at all the faces looking at him looking for two familiar faces. He's found in my parents, Helena and Julius, and thought they were his own. No Helena said I'm not your mother your Helena is dead. You need to call me that but if you want to prefer me as your mother, you can, but I'm not your mother we need to play along. Scarlett said we'll have to play lawn to see how he'll react. He doesn't recognize you because you're not his actual parents he doesn't recognize me because I'm older or Ash. because of the same thing, what are you doing? Like I said we'll have to play along.

what happened? we don't know exactly when a light hit the building, and it rocked a bit and then a bright light surrounded us and then went. How are we supposed to put this trunk a bit he aged that's not good that's what we think's happened let's make sure said Evelyn tearing down the house especially not at us but down at him it was Luther now that he was smaller younger are you gonna be OK? she asked who are you? He asked again and we met before no yes we kinda did to Evelyn. I am Evelyn the first mage of negative Valencia.

Evelyn examined him. Yes, he has DH it's not a good sign because when you age you forget things people things you knew it depends on how old you are when you're DA and it looks like he has a lot I'm not exactly sure how far Evelyn asked Scarlett do you want me to take him for a moment, take him where to the garden dear one I will take Luther for a moment I want to examine him more. Make sure nothing else has been damaged in the process we don't want anything damaged.

I saw Scarlet reach down and use her magic to sense him. It's OK it's nice people are going to take you and look at you for a moment. You mean to take me away where I just want my parents OK they're dead. They've been dead a long time Scarlet said, we'll have to get your memory back somehow and get you back to your proper age but for now, we need to back to my proper age I'm 13. No will explain it to you in a bit. She couldn't resist squeezing his face now I know you're acquisitive and you're probably thinking you're in the quarantine zone still but let me assure you that's not where you are.

but I want you back so that we can be a couple again, so if they can figure out how to get you back to normal, we can be back together where we are together yes, I walked over to watch. I bent down as well. Don't worry, grandmother and Evelyn are gonna take great care of you, who are you? He asked I'm what that's confusing. There are two of you so confusing. Maybe we shouldn't confuse his mind someone familiar should go with him me no Scarlet you should stay here but I'm I know I know I said, but I think someone else more familiar should come, I'll go beside, it gives me a chance to bond with him being so young maybe appreciate him more. You should watch ion Scarlet right you're right someone has the guard wide ion I said, and. Scarlett, the best person to do it will stay too. The other Helena and Julia said besides we love the atmosphere here. Why don't you both go we'll stay here and hold down the fort.

could you use human words or human language? Yes, we did use human slang Helena said no go. We'll take care of things also here so we'll be fine. Yes, yes, said the sides. I might need their help with something.

We left ion and went back to my garden home, but I didn't have time to play this time. We wouldn't decide Evelyn's house taking Luther. He was amazed at how beautiful the home was similar to Ezra's house except different even though it did have white, I am. Why do you have so much of this Because it makes it look pretty Evelyn said Alexa smiled. I'm glad you think it looks pretty. We think it gives the Home a little more of a homey touch.

I am on the bed said Evelyn it'll take some time to examine him for a moment and you all should leave the room. Alexis and I will take it from here all right we know what you're doing. I said come, let us leave the room I took Ashli's hand, Ash said he looked at me yeah why don't you come with me I wanna show you around my guard at home I never got a chance to show you sounds great I'd love to look around I wanna look around the place that you love so much. Maybe I'll get an idea of why and how you grew up teasing we walked out of the house. Those two look so cute together and adorable.

do you think they'll ever I don't know I heard my friends talking about us. I don't know if I properly introduced Ash to them. I waved at them. Oh, there you are. We were worried we weren't even on ion so we were worried about you. I was fine I was down here for a bit and then I had to go up because they needed me up there, what happened? I'll tell you in a minute I said something tragic has happened. It didn't show that there was anything tragic that happened by the look on your face new best friend Raven teased no said Evan nothing has changed right oh no no no no no, you're mistaken not well yeah my sister had stroked again and I think she's here in Valencia because I can send her Lucy is here. What how I don't know I said I'm not sure.

oh wait yeah I do know I saw it in a vision. She used her match she she destroy half the guild and then created a portal with the blood of the people she killed and that's how she got here. I saw it all happened too and you're just holding that back from us, I'm sorry Raven it's OK it's OK I'm I'm sure you didn't mean to hold that information. It's probably more devastating to know that Lucy is here than you telling us that beforehand.

as cleared his throat, are you gonna introduce me to your friends? Oh yes, sorry Evan Raven this is Ash they looked at me then they looked at Ash wow the only difference is that our ashes look more feminine but wow the resemblance is very canning especially the violet ice yeah Evan said definitely what's all the fuss about Robert came over Robert I'm so excited I wanted to introduce you to my double kind of. Oh yes hi, I can tell that my ashes are in good hands with you. Yes, I will take good care of her as said, you see that you do or I will not be merciful to you, I promise that I didn't mean to desert her before, but I'm never gonna desert her again and you look exactly like Riley except more masculine yeah and no fake hair but your brown hair looks the same and your eyes. The sapphire eyes are the same would you be jealous no, I'm not jealous we both care about the same person and besides, Ash is more of a family relation than anything else like a cousin yeah cousin pretty much.

that makes sense I guess I'm glad you like each other. I said I was worried even though I wasn't completely worried. They said my name at once at the same time and told me that it was OK so is is is Luther going to be? Is Luther gonna be OK I think so I think he got I think he just now passed out when we brought him here I mean he saw the gardens and then passed out so I'm not sure yet but I guess we'll find out when he wakes up, I want to show you my favorite spot I said as I took Ash by the hand what do you want to show me?

Mary was on my on our heels. Oh, here's your treat Mary I said all right here we are you have a twinkle rosebush, and this is my favorite place because twinkle roses are my favorite flowers at least I know. Yes, I love the same flowers as Elise.

Oh, Elise likes them too. She likes them dead but I can tell you like yours alive yes I love mine alive. I took great care of them. I said they're pretty well. You get to see them light up. Yes now that nighttime is here. We'll probably be able to see it. You can stay here in the garden with me Ashna all right I'll stay with you. He said to me depends on how long my brother is here too. I won't leave this big house with you sounds great.

here since you love them so much he picked one and put it in my hair now you look even better how you just put a twinkle rose in my hair you look prettier like that I smiled you think so yes I think so. You always look better when you do something like this in his hands in my curls and I like it when I do this and you like it whenever I react to it and I love your reaction to when I do this and giggling good now let's go back to the house I can hear your grandmother calling for us we want back to the house. Wow, you look better you look good, grandmother said that you had a twinkle in your hair and not well. That is thoughtful.

as asked, how is my brother he's sleeping right now out of it he was knocked out for a while when he comes too he'll still not remember much, but we knocked him out for a bit with some drugs. Why has he gone crazy again, but told us that he used to be hysterical when he had his full memories. I mean his full emotions but I have his emotions now he shouldn't be that way. I'm guessing he regained them by saying well how are we supposed to put this DH? Is that a possibility D aging isn't, but it is in our world and it's forbidden. It should be forbidden here to be is not right and it's not natural even though I don't care that I do mine some exceptions said Evelyn I don't like this one it messes up your age is there a way to fix it? We don't know yet well there is but we have to brew the potion potion ha ha there's a formula that we have to use to reverse the process. Somehow it will be very painful for him though. Re-aging is more painful than he'll feel every pain everything and memory. It'll be hard for him right now. He's before whatever happened. oh, he's his mind is probably in the quarantine zones. Then he was talking about that earlier, well then what is that to watch him grow give him the formula and watch him grow and watch him mature so that he can make we can sure that he returns to his proper age should Ezra know I think that's a good idea you should go until your first mage this is very important and very very not good you're leaving. I'll be back soon. Ash said taking my hand.

I'm just going to go see the first mage, Ezra. He should know that Lucy is here do you think yes yes I'm I can come no wait. Yes, you and your team should come and Mary too. You should all come and my team is coming as well you need to wear white I am suited, we have some made it'll protect you from the black. I am starting to get strong out there.

also, I should come send Evelyn it would make things easier too because if he gets to meet the first mage of another world, it might help him a little bit and keep down his meanness a little bit. I know he doesn't like exceptions and he might try and hurt all of Ashli again so I'm gonna come as well. That sounds great, you might not need a black I Am suit. If I just teleport you where you need to go to the Most Deserted Pl., Ezra would be there, Ash said, and where is that? The Vald Orion ruins, right? OK sounds good to the old Vald Orion ruins.

OK, we're going to the Vald Orion ruins, two old Volders. We still needed to wear black or white or white suits just in case we suited up well the positive Valencia instead of us negative Valencia didn't need to be all right ready. It is all ready to go. Yes, hold hands cause I'm going to teleport us all. Ready go.

we held hands as we teleported to the old Vald. Orion ruins will have to wait though. Ash said we'll have to wait for him to be ready for us. He probably is not expecting us to be here. That's OK said Evelyn will wait. Will wait as long as we need to wait.

we're gonna pause here. I'll come back with the next chapter for chapter 24. I know it's short, but these chapters need to be short somewhat see you in chapter 24 when Evelyn meets her double Ganger kind of meets her counterpart Ezra all right or maybe they already met I can't remember they did meet once so they're revising him again, that's OK all right then I forgot they already met a few chapters back and Ezra doesn't live with them in the gardens so they're just going back and revisiting him. The next chapter will still be about our heroes and then the last chapter will be about the villains I'll see you then.
