Chapter 11:Return Team
It was another bright new morning over the kingdom of vacou right now again. But right now inside a certain room starting their day off was a very worried velvet who was pacing around in a room with a few others right now.
That being aruna, pearl, xander, mitch, ilia and kate. Along with daryl as velvet kept panicking right now taking several breaths on what she heard last night. That being her own girlfriend killed herself down in that strange world
"Oh my god…god…god…why would she do that? Why would she do that?"velvet said crying with xander crying right now as aruna held him rocking back and forth holding him close
Daryle was wide eye in shock"ummm i don't know but i feel very tramtized hearing thats what happened down their"he replied as they told them for some reason with kate shaking her head
"You mean how i just heard my friend committed sucide and apparently is now super over confident"kate said nearly shouting with mitch rubbing his head
"Explains why she was so…chill in front of those people making fun of her traits. I mean…i remember she'd cry over someone making fun of her eyes. "Mitch mentioned
"Or even mentioning them to her. I mean…i've hardly met the rose girl but…thats just messed up"pearl said before staring out the window that showed the sunny skies of vacou right now
"Why would they even do that?"she added
They sat in silence unsure of how to answer with velvet still panicking as ilia sighed walking over making her face her
"Vel…vel look at me. I need you to take a deep breath in then let it out slowly. Can you do that for me?"ilia asked as velvet tried to at first but slowly she did it slowly to calm her pulse down
"Good do it again"ilia said as she did it a few more times to finally get her pulse back under control right now as she exhaled slowly into relief
"Great we got you calm but…xan it'll be okay"aruna shushed but he growled pulling away crying into his hands
"How is it okay?! You just told me my own big sister killed herself in the–"he was stopped as daryl covered his mouth with a wince. They were trying hard to make sure no one else heard this right now
"Dude i get your upset. But if we let everyone know about this then those two will start something. Do you really wanna tell your parents that your sister did that?"Daryl questioned
The young wolf thought for a moment before shaking his head no as he released his mouth
"Okay we got you two to calm down. But…how do we even confront this sort of thing. I mean….they wanted to hide it. Why shouldn't we"kate qeustioned with ilia staring at them
"Question how bad do you think the racism toward faunus was in atlas"ilia questioned cofnsuing them
"Why is this relevant?"aruna questioned
"She has a point because well…uhhh oh boy…even a few of our acolytes where rude to her back in atlas. Everysince well…cousin got kidnapped, alot of them badmouth those hayley girls and her especially."daryl replied
"Along with atlas being full of nothing but racist jerks. I should know…few of the white fang said no one their loved faunus only the people of mantle sort of"ilia added as they understood
"So you think that…she….did whatever this ascension thing you guys found out is linked to that"kate asked as the two thought for a moment with velvet nodding
"I could tell she was troubled by it but i always tried to keep her happy. But…god…why would she even do that…why wouldn't grimmy tell me even."Velvet said as her ears drooped over
"Me and her were the first ones in this huge relationship…why didn't they tell me"she added with tears about to break but ilia placed a hand on her shoulder
"I wouldn't want to tell someone. Right now we need a plan"ilai stated
"A plan? On what? Asking them hey did you just kill yourselfs in this apperent storybook…that might make them have panic attacks"pearl said but daryl hummed which they noticed
"Why are you humming right now?"xander questioned as he nodded
"Nothing just…well they said they met the goddess of balance. Our family worships her and well…we could have old text on her domain maybe. It might give us more information on how this ascension process works"daryl suggested as it wasn't a bad idea
"Good idea. But maybe we should integrate the others on this little trip they had down their"mitch stated as ilia scoffed
"Good luck. Rogue may be an easy target but if mckay and merc near her they'll shut us down. Xiaolong will stonewall us….weiss might just hold it…eria will too…including neo…lazuli…adam…even your boyfriend"ilia said to the rabbit who thought about it for a moment before closing her fist
"Not if you make wolfie aunt thara partner and leader who his other mom ask him. If he lies…he can't escape it"velvet said as they stared at her for a moment with xander nodding
"If we gotta do that…then i can go make auntie come with us. We plan to head into the town i'm sure to find sis birthday presents"xander replied
"Good thinking. Me and pearl can tag along to keep an eye on them"mitch replied as pearl nodded
"I'm keeping an eye on my friend, aruna mind tagging along with me"kate asked
"Sure thing. That leaves you three to go through some dusty old book"aruna replied with velvet speaking up
"Try two i'm keeping an eye on my girlfriend. Were planning for the party and i already volunteered this morning when we discussed it secretly with ivy and natalia dsitracting her"Velvet replied as they all nodded in agreement leaving the room they where in to meet back with the others
As they walked back into the cafeteria they saw everyone else their already waiting for them which made nebula turn to them
"Their you guys are. Wondering where you all ran off to"nebula said
"Yeah whats gives bunny…whay you went to plan an extra surprise for wolf girl"Crystal cooed as the rabbit faunus decided to put an act up
"Well sort of…but…where is she right now?"velvet asked
"Ivy and nat are still distracting her. But well where still trying to figure out where where going to hold the party"yoko replied finding this troublesome as vance sat their before his scroll buzzed as he went wide eyed
"Oh no way i forgot they left!"vance shouted getting their attention
"Uhhh who left?"jaune questioned as the lynx smiled
"Fen and his teammates with a few gravekeepers. They went off on a mission for some artfiacts. We had all the ones needed for the wards in beacon."Vance replied to their confusion
"Wards? What the heck is a ward?"Rogue questioned confused now even more
Oscar sat their as he messed with his cane"oh well blood seals. They were tied to certain pieces of objects oz held important. But well…we sent fenix, asher, arrstra and pyke to grab any useful artifacts that he had hidden around the world"oscar explained as that sounded smart
"Thats pretty smart. Should we go say hi"ruby asked
"Uhhh duh! They don't know you guys are back since their ships comms where busted in their last transmission. Oh man their gonna be happy"sun replied as they agreed on that qucikyl heading off outside
Once they where outside several people where all crowding around a ship right now. Waiting by the ship was glynda and theodore as he noticed the group approaching them right now along with natlaia, ivy and onxyia their waiting for them right now
"Oh hello children it seems you got my text. We have a surprise for you all right now"thedore replied
"That fenix and his teammates are back. Their gonna flip their lids when they see us…should we be the first to greet them?"lazuli replied as glynda hummed before chcukling
"You know that sounds like a splendid idea. Some good news will be great to hear"glynda said letting them walk straight to the front right now. As already their waiting for the ship was bastet laughing as lavi was beind held by nezumi who was blushing like crazy
"Awww its still so cute how she became attached to you"bastet cooed as lavi hugged the spider faunus
"Auntie nezzy"lavi cutely said making nezumi heart skip a beat. But she noticed them as so did lavi who leaped out of the spider faunus arms straight into vances as he laughed hugging her before shifting her around placing her on his shouldlers
"Heyya sweetie i hear your dad coming back. You excited?"Vance asked as she smiled big for him right now
"yes!"She said loudly as her tail swayed around. Soon enough the doors to the airship opened as hoping right on out the front of the ship was fenix who cheered loudly happy to be back home where his family was
"Were back from our little treasure hunt my fine allies! We brought back a few nifty ones"fenix cheered as arrstra scoffed walking out
"You mean a stupid helmet that cast a protective shield for five minutes. A stupid coin able to predict the future and…who makes an artifact that can freeze time along with making you age"arrastra asked as asher carried a small trunk out shrugging his shoulder
"No clue…big crowd and well lookie here the mural is done"asher said as right behind him was hectate, fin, lian and pyke. With fin admiring the piece laughing right now
"Dam my cousin kid went from monster to saint in a matter of months"fin said as someone spoke up
"Wait…i'm not a monster now…huh weird since i got a bug in my back. "Zane spoke up suddenly
"Heh yeah you….wait a minute"asher said before they turned to the voice direction going completely wide eyed in shock right now. As arrstra eyes widden seeing the dead back from the grave with lain going a little teary eyed. With fenix walking over placing a hand on adam face feeling it up before he smacked it away
"Stop touching my face please"Adam said before the lion went teary eyed pulling him into an embrace screaming in joy right now
"Your alive! Their all alive!"fenix cheered and cheered as asher walked over embracing ruby who felt awkward slowly embracing him back. With arrastra pulling neo face straight into her bust as the girl frowned
"Ohhhh this is…god how is this possible…how are you alive kiddio?"arrastra asked in complete tears
"That is a long story aunt arra"neo replied as she didn't catch it at first but pyke sure did
"The little mute girl just fucking talk!"pyke shouted as lavi stcuk her tongue at him
"Daddy the spinner arm man said a swear"lavi cutely said as pyke covered his mouth with fenix staring at neo in complet confusion
"How is she talking right now?! How are you all alive! Also pyke i'm gonna make you eat soap for swearing infront of my daughter!"fenix shouted with the familiar tap of a cane being heard as stepping through the crowd was roman who laughed
"Well fenix learning to not swear. That be the day….then we all wouldn't be too rich in lien for those swear jars"roman joked with them staring at him in confusion as arrastra laughed
"Funny jokes akata. If this is your doing i swear little sal momma will be missing her tail"arrastra warned pinching roman in the face as he stared at her before jamming his cane into her chest
"Really me akata? You must have me mistaken because well….if i recall you got drunk one time with me. Along with…what was it ohhh i remember saying how you wanted to bang xiong"roman said with a grin as arrastra flinched as the only ones who knew that was roman as she gasped
"You..you…your dead"asher said
"We can explain back at the compound. Because oh boy you three are going to cry your eyes out"sun said as hectate was hugging her cousin for dear life in tears right now
"But i already am…my grandma got to meet my other aunt who died son now….this is a great day"hectate cried as they had more news. Quickly they took a few airships to get to the compound once they where their they called ahead as outside waiting for them was none other than qrow with raven by his side. As they stepped out fin noticed him screaming
"Ahhhhh! The dead man is back from the grave too!"he shouted as qrow chuckled
"Well my bad luck went to good luck for a week…heyya fen….seems you meet torch on the way here"qrow said with fenix immediately walking over hugging him as he returned it
"Please tell us where all dreaming. I saw his corpse back in atlas"lian asked
"Hmmmm nope. We can explain inside because well…uhhh lady your family has some special guest yourselves"crystal said but hecate was laughing right now at her cousin who blushed like crazy
"What?! You mean how this one here is dating twenty four more girls!"hectate shouted in laughter with fenix snickering at that as they walked inside
"Well the kids got better charm than me. But….whats with your brother hectate he keeps trying to not cry"fenix said with loki smiling at his sister with some tears in his eyes sighing
"Sis your not going to –"he was stopped as the sound of footsteps could be heard walking the hall. As right now walking down the hall with an annoyed look was lilith grumbling and groaning as right behind her was hel. Who had asaka in hands baby talking her the entire time
"Awww your so cute. Yes you are…yes you are…become a little kitty"hel cooed as asaka activated her semblance giggling as her little tail swayed around. Hel squealed hugging her as lilith groaned loudly
"God little sister stop it! You gave her a cup of hot chocolate for breakfast and now she had a sugar high!"lilith shouted as asaka molted her armor off still feeling energetic with hel sticking her tongue at her
"Blah blah blah….sorry that your baby sister likes to enjoy herself. I've already snuggled each of pana adorable little daughters"hel said as the two stared at the others with them all staring at them right now. With fin going wide eyed in tears before running over pulling hel into an embrace beginning to cry right now
"Your…your alive..i…i…"he coudln't form words as lian ran over hugging her cousin close in her arms. As hectate stepped forward shocked since she hasn't seen her when she was maybe five.
"Aunt…hel"hectate asked to their shock as they released hel who smiled going into her protector form as the coattails swayed around before she set asaka down before hugging hectate as she pulled her down
"Awww little hectate got old. Do you have babies i can gush over or tease"hel cooed as the women crack sobbing into her shoulder right now in joy with asher blinking
"And their are more dead people…can we have our questions answered"asher said as they guided them into the living room. Quickly grabbing azaril which caught them offguard they quickly explained how they where her. As they finished it off
"Thats how their here jaune here made a wish to let us see four people from the grave"yang said finishing the lengthy explanation with pyke jaw dropping
"And i think i'm questioning if the gods will answer prays…can i have my arm back"pyke joked as qrow chuckled
"Nah your women likes that better than your well little friend"qrow joked making pyke blush bright red as declan snickered sighing before staring at his daughter
"We can catch you up more on this. But little cub could you and your rabbit eared girlfriend go check on akata. She needed help with sal early"declan said
"Sure thing dad. Come on bun"onxyia said as velvet followed but so did kate and aruna as the three shared looks with each other. Once they where gone katherine sighed
"I know you all just got back. But….we need your help on something"katherine asked as arrastra hummed
"With what kath?"arrastra asked as they told them
"Where planning my niece big birthday right now. Since well she would have celebrated when they got from atlas to here. Were planning on maybe throwing it here since desdemona was kind enough to let us"thara said
"Well she managed to stab the witch….very interesting in my opinion. Besides a small talk me and oscar here had with lcufier. He seemed interested in her"desdemona replied
"He uh was…but how are we gonna do this right now?"jaune asked
"Simply we along with our many partner now are heading into town to find her a gift. Bun agreed to distract her, you twins gonna help us out?"may asked
"Sure! I mean shes our teammate"rogue said as eria nodded all for it
"Then i'm coming too along with my sister in law. We can help you all find the perfect gift"declan said as his tail wagged
"Same here, maybe uhhh robyn could come because you know…to prevent dad from lying to my big sisters partners"xander said as robyn found that weird but katherine hummed
"My son has a point go with them hill"katherine agreed
"Ohhh i wanna go. I wanna get to know my baby little partners and maybe help since a women knows what one might want for a gift"hel cooed as they all agreed to do that right now for the day to get some things things done.
After their brief exchange together right now an hour later inside the kitchen. Team JNPR decided to help out with making the food. Well in nora case taste testing the food as dravan, ren, amy, kumi and ashley right now. Their was also klein, colt and the ginger munching away on some pastries with a full mouth
"Man this stuff is the bomb. I don't ever wanna stop eating them"nora said going for her tenth piece it seems but someone smacked her hand away
That being a women in her mid sixties right now with fair skin and silver grey hair for her age. Along with that she had a set of dark blue eyes like the rest of her family. With her wearing a simply orange thin sleeveless dress over a pair of dark grey tights with some black heels on. It presneted some of her bust but the women growled
"Can you all controlt his one. She keeps eating my creampuffs"the women said as nora munch on another one making her glare at her
Jaune laughed a little"thats how nora is. Nora…please stop eating them, others don't get the chance to eat something like this. You should be happy with what you eat"jaune wisely said which made them surprised
"Okay i guess arc now has wisdom in his nogging."naca said with sarcasm
Klein chuckled"well from what told me. You are well…technically your old enough to be your own father"he added
"You mean how this kid was the same one from a story book i read as a kid. I mean seriously weird"colt replied finding this shocking still with jaune who was preparing tray clenching one tight for a moment swallowing
"Y-yeah weird…heh heh"jaune replied as the old women noticed that before sharing a look with amy who cleared her throat leaning over to ren
"Dear can you take your leader out of the room. I think us talking about this might trouble him"amy whispered as he nodded. Quickly he escorted jaune out of the room with indie, poppy and jean walking in with izzy. Izzy noticed her boyfriend strained look sighing
"Who mentioned him being the stupid rusted knight"izzy asked as they all pointed at colt who slinked down
"My bad kiddio. Weird to deal with someone whos older than me right now technically….shame what happened to the kid"Colt replied as jean sighed understanding that he meant no ill will
"I know you didn't mean it big guy. But ummm…my son is starting to worry me. I mean…he couldn't even do ten minutes of therapy yesterday."jean admitted as they were all stunned with the old women stepping forward
"Are you serious? As a parent myself i would try and figure out the source of this problem right away"the old women said
"You think we haven't been doing that carrie"poppy replied as this was carrie graves the sister of desdemona graves.
"Well how would we do that. I mean….not like we can just magically pull up something that can tell us what to do"saphrone replied as indie hummed sitting on a nearby stool with a theroy in mind
"I think i have a theory in mind right now. Maybe we should visit the local library here"idnie suggested confusing them right now as nora scratched her head
"How is that gonna help my leader?"nora questioned as she was getting their
"I would need to go their and confirm my theory. Because well…i'm heading their now to do some quick research."indie said before staring at izzy for a moment who nodded
"I'll come. Anyone else wanna help out on this little trip"izzy questioned with pyrrha humming as her tail swayed before she nodded
"I'll come with i wanna make sure…our boyfriend is okay. Goodness this is strange"pyrrha replied with a blush on her face
Saprhone giggled slightly"i'll come. I can have chloe and her new little girlfriend keep an eye on jaune for us. Along with that ren fellow"she replied as they set off with nora joining in or well was forced to avoid eating more of the food for tonight.
As they left the compound they quickly took a jeep into the city to get their. It took them a half hour to get into said city. But once they where their they where walking to the local library. While they did they started some small conversation along the way
"So…your technically and old women. How does that feel"nora bluntly asked making pyrrha cover her mouth
"Nora! Thats very insensitive to just ask someone"pyrrha said but she was fine as izzy sighed
"No its fine. Just…it feels so weird to be back to the age i was at before i fell down their"izzy replied staring at her hands for a moment as it flashed showing her older and slightly larger hands as she closed her eyes sighing before looking back to see they where normal again
"I feel like i'm nineteen again. But mentally i feel like i'm in my fities….i even considered sewing at one point and knit some stupid scarf for gwendolyn. Something i would do down in that place"izzy replied
"Hmmm its some interesting skills. But….i'm guessing no one else in your group made it"jean asked hesaintly as she stayed silent for a moment before sighing on that topic
"No one else made it…i'm pretty sure the goddess wouldn't have brought them back. But…god…when we finally met alyx and lewis…that was…an interesting day in my opinion"izzy replied thinking about those two right now on how they met them
In the ever after years ago
It was many years ago in the ever after or in the real world possibly fifteen years later. Because right now in the paper pleaser village they where doing their small little task for the day as they weren't on the path of ascension just yet. As infront of the hut that someone called home was izzy humming right now
Next to her was gwendolyn still looking older as she was about sixteen as she was bored right now. Because their was nothing to do right now with no one else her age except her surgant mother.
Their was utter silence between the two before she groaned loudly
"Ughhhh when is dad going to come back or one of those stupid knights. I'm so bored"gwendolyn said as izzy chuckled
"Come on now dear. I understand your bored but why don't you go out and forger with our nice little guest. Their doing a big favor for us"izzy said as a paper pleaser walked over with a tray of water
"Water ma'am?"a paper pleaser aksed as she took it drinking it feeling relief placing it back on the tray
Izzy patted their head"thank you for that"she thanked as they walked away. As they stood their for what felt like forever. Soon enough walking over the horizon was someone that gwendolyn noticed going wide eyed
"Dad!"gwendolyn called out running over which surprised izzy as she looked to see jaune still looking like he did back in the ever after. With his rusted appearance still as he was hugged by gwendolyn as he laughed
"Easy their sweetie. Ohhh i'm so happy i found you two right now because well i got a surprise for you"jaune said which they were caught offguard by as izzy saw him smiling
"Really what is it dear?"izzy questioned. As he gesutred to something walking up her and gwendolyn looked surprised. As before them where two people that being alyx and lewis as the two humans looked shocked seeing them with gwendolyn looking at them
"Hey dad who are they?"gwendolyn asked as alyx crossed her arms looking down
"I'm alyx…this is my brother lewis"alyx answered with a downhearted tone with lewis sighing
"Sister please be okay. Don't…let the cat get to you and his incessive taunting"lewis said but laughter could be heard as appearing on his shoulder was none other than the curious cat laughing
"Come now lewis. I've been nothing but helpful just a few light hearted teasing is all. Besides….i'm sorry"the curious cat apologized as alyx huffed looking away with izzy looking at them
"Dear who are these two? Are you two from atlas?"izzy asked making the two look at her confused
"Whats an atlas? He asked us the same question along with if where from some place called vacou….mistral or vale. Theirs the four kingdom but their called nothing for now"alyx answered to the two confusion as jaune stepped forward
"You two wait here for a moment i need to talk to them"jaune said
"Okay "lewis kindley said as they walked over out of their sight with jaune kneeling infront of them for a moment
"Dad who are these two…that boy kinda lookes cute"gwendolyn admitted as she never seen someone close to her age before as jaune chuckled
"Your not gonna date him dear. Because well…this is going to sound weird but…i think that alyx girl is apart of the story of the girl who fell through the world"jaune answered confusing them with izzy staring at the two children going wide eyed
"But…but she never had a brother…it never said she had a brother"izzy replied firmly as he knew that
"I know but…well…some of the story isn't following right now. It said they visited some places but not the caterpillar. Though i needed to stop here for the night, were all exhausted. It seems we have more viisotrs to this world like us"jaune replied as the women wondered how this will affect their lives. Not knowing the cat true intentions at this point in time
Present
As the memory was fresh in her head she covered her mouth with tears on her face which poppy noticed.
"Dear why are you crying? Is everything alright"poppy asked concerned making them stare at her as izzys sighed rubbing the tears away
"I'm fine…just god…that….thing…that monster was just using that poor girl for its own selfish gain. I'm happy that thing is dead"izzy growled as pyrrha hugged her girlfriend who leaned into it for a moment sighing
"It'll be okay. I'm pretty sure that fairytail isn't my favorite anymore"pyrrha said as indie huffed
"Thats why were going to the library. I think i found ourselves a connection right now"indie stated as they arrived at a two story building that is the library. Walking inside they made their way to the children section of the library. Searching through the books indie sntached the one on the girl who fell through the world
Then she immediately without a word walked over to a nearby holo computer section sitting down immediately typing away on the computer screen. While she did saphron scratched the back of her head
"So ummm sis what are you doing right now? I'm still confused on why were here?"saphrone asked confused still
"Shes right. You and your little tech modes….you figure something out sweetie"jean asked as his brainic daughter soon typed something up before presenting the book
"Look at the name of the author on this book does this name sound very familiar. Their first name"indie asked as poppy picked it up going wide eyed reading the first name aloud
"The author of the book was named…lewis…oh my god…that…boy…he…he wrote this story."poppy said to their shock as izzy took it going teary eyed seeing the author name as it was lewis name as she sat down in shock
"But…but…why bring him up?"izzy aksed as indie turned to her with a serious look
"Because that book was written about eighty years ago. That same book was before the great war ever happened, before atlas, vale, mistral and vacou took on their names for their kingdoms. From my research i did some digging since yesterday"indie started her explanation as she pulled her computer to show them someone that being a man with some glasses and dark curly hair with a simple face seeming to be twenty
"The man right here is the author of the book…along with said author still being alive right now"indie explained making them go wide eyed upon hearing that the same author and boy from the ever after was still alive.
Izzy went teary eyed in shock as tears came down her face"l-lewis is alive? I…i…but…oh god…god no…his sister…he probably doesn't even know…that shes dead"izzy cried and cried for the poor soul lost with pyrrha doing her best to console her
Poppy rubbed her temple"indie why did you bring this up?"she asked as her sister stared at her
"If it gets serious we need to get in contact with this man. It says he lives in vale and its not that far even. If our brother little mental breakdown progresses…we should have him confront someone connected to his trauma"indie replied as they thought about it for a moment with jean sighing
"Good idea sweetie. Keep this on the down low for now okay"jean said
"Oh i will. I may blab my mouth sometimes but this…i wanna help my leader…can we tell ren"nora asked as they all nodded. Deciding to head back to the compound to prepare for the grand birthday party right now for the wolf faunus
Meanwhile back in the said compound right now in a lounge room was ilia and daryl along with someone else they trusted. That being cera who got the run down on what they heard as she was appalled by it right now
"That girl…god why the hell would she do that?"Cera questioned in shock
"We have no clue. But where gonna invade auntie private study to find out any reading connected to the goddess of balance"daryl replied
"Are you sure that she'll have something in their we can use? I mean…what if where caught?"ilia asked as the two had that covered
"If where caught we can just say daryl got curious and you caught him snooping. I can back you up come on her study is guarded but i convinced my girlfriend to lure them away"cera mentioned as they forgot about that
"Right i forgot you convince coutrney to become you and your wolf toy little second member. Your like your sister"ilia teased as the bunny faunus smiled
"Awww but shes got about twenty four of them. I'm fine sharing my chew toy with one other girl….no one else touches him"cera cooed making her new relationship known after the last eight months
They peeked out of the doorway to see the room right now as the hall was empty. They snuck over to desdemona office as daryl produced a key slipping it into the lock twisting the key before opening the door as they stepped inside closing in
Once they where inside cera immediately walked over to the bookshelf in the room that had a small dragon statue on it. Pulling the statue forward it click as the bookshelf before them started to move as it revealed a secret entrance
Ilia looked down as she saw the whole staircase with her nightvision
"This is so creepy its not even funny"ilia replied
"Oh its not as creepy as the crypt with a bunch of dead people skulls. Besides lets hurry this up we don't have much time"Cera replied as they traversed down into the secret tunnel not knowing someone was watching them as the door was slihglty opened
Walking down the path for what felt like forever they arrived at a pair of wooden doors. Daryl and cera pushed the doors open that felt heavy as they struggled slightly but opened them to reveal something
That being a large room built into the house infrastructure. As their were lines of scrolls, books, scriptures and other items littering the place. Their were also old pieces of ancient history in the room as well which came to their shock. But what sat in the very far side of the room was a statue of a women. That statute being the goddess of balance with already light candles that had blue flames with ilia looking in shock.
"Whoa…your family worships this women"ilia asked
"Sort of. We do this annual and yearly pray in her honor but…let me see"Daryl said skimming through the many subjects down here as they where labeled thankfully. With some effort he soon found something being under the gods relam
"Found it"he said pulling the book out as they joined him at a table. Opening the book it showed drawing of the brothers and their sister with balance in the middle, darkness on the left and light on the right. All of them their as he read it
"It says here that the realm of the three gods is unknown. But from the many archangels before us…they say the same thing when they speak to their predecessors. That they arrive somewhere else that is magical and is the home of the gods. This scripture is kept secret between the…archangels"daryl read that last part with a wince
"Oh great if des found out why where down here where screwed"cera replied before suddenly someone cleared their throat catching her offguard. Looking over they saw it was razputin with a narrow gaze. By his side was katherine, pana and will who sighed
"Dear i don't know what this place is…but i'm sure none of us are allowed down here"will firmly said as razputin growled toward them
"They shouldn't be aloud down here. Only our archangels are except for that alcus women as a sign of good faith. She kept her word hiding the studies she did down here. "Razputin said cracking his knuckles
"Give us a dam good reason why your down here now"he ordered as they stayed silent for a moment with ilia looking at katherine for a moment sighing
"Its about your daughter i…i…something happened in the ever after. They didn't tell us what her and ruby did"ilia said confusing them as katherine stepped forward concerned
"What are you talking about? What…what did my baby girl do…what did she do?"katherine asked in fear as ilia sighed deciding to say part of it
"velvet evasdropped on the others….onxyia…and ruby…they…they…killed themselves down their…they killed themsleves"ilia said utttering those words shaking their world as katherine began to have tears in her eyes falling to her knees crying right now with pana rushing to her aid as they all where in shock on what they just told them
With that katherine figures out what her daughter to and she was appalled by it. Next chapter will be the other group looking for presents and answers for what happened in the ever after. Thanks for reading!
