Crisp went into the cave and walking deeply he hears the same voice "you win a gift a gift a gift~."

Crisp: what did I do to win a gift?

Unknown voice: you spared the darkest lord deep within this cave be someone you thought you lost...someone you felt was dead.

Crisp is confused but goes deeper and heads whimpering and someone saying "Crisp~ my dominant Crisp~."

Crisp thinks to himself "is this my mother?."

He goes deeper and sees someone he didn't expect. It is his older brother, the one who he thought was lost.

He whimpers still repeating the same thing over and over again as he slightly rocks back and forth, hugging himself "w-why am I so alone I'm cold.." Crisp gets closer and hugs his brother hoping he feels it and this isn't trickery. The cave smells Crisps' distrust but it in fact is his brother.

Crisp: Mikeal?

Mikeal looks at him in Crisps eyes and kisses his brothers head to see the warmth when he did sees all memories of crisp and how long it's been.

Mikeal: h-how....w-why am I here?

Crisp cries holding him.

Crisp: you were stuck between realms and I guess the cave kept you safe and since Sam made this kingdom linking itself to this cave b-brother I'm older then you now!

Mikeal being 17 and crisp being 18 is shocked and pins his brother down and lays his head on Crisp's chest hearing his heart beat.

Mikeal: I-it really is you...

Crisp embraces him and Mikeal holds crisp tightly.

Crisp: h-haha hey stop all because dad had fun with a maid and makes us half brothers we need to get out of here!

Mikeal squirms more holding his brother.

Crisp gets up and his brother follows and they found a book.

It speaks.

"So the sparing king of all spared the dark one. Interesting...Frank is his name now."

Crisp: yes.

"If you wish to not let Frank go back to his old ways there is a cure but it only cures Frank and not his siblings and I'll only tell it to your grandson. The king of us all, you have big things to come and your curse your mother put on you while you slept is pure evil, no one will ever remove it."

Crisp: why?

"Because no one would want to help you since it can't be a lover but someone you're related to. But no one will help you but you can help Frank...not yet but until you have your grandson leave my home...and tell my writer Alex when you meet him I say hi...goodbye."

The cave shakes pushing crisp and his brother out. Crisp told his brother to stay and live here but he wants to go with Crisp but Crisp said he'll be in his dreams. He said ok and went to an apartment with his name on it and gets settled.

Sam sees Crisp staring at the cave and thinks "is Crisp ok?"

Crisp is thinking "I get a family?....I don't deserve one ... .due to me killing the last one even if it wasn't me it was still my hand ... .even if I wasn't in control ...."

Sam gently taps Crisp and tells him it's time to go, that the kingdom of Cherish will wake up soon so they get ready to leave.

Maddie: Wait, take this map showing our kingdom is neighboring theres and show it to them. I don't know why but I think you'll need to show them tomorrow, ok?

They nod and take it and make copies of it. They go to the tube and go back up to the Cherish kingdom without being spotted and back into their rooms to sleep though a clone of crisps went deep into the magic forest of that place found the same golden door when he was younger and there saw his friend Alex chained up crisp let him free to live in this place they hugged and the clone disappeared.

Alex walks to the middle of town and settled in his own room as the magic of this place registered him he is happy to see he has a cat and his own room.
