Alex enters his apartment room and opens his journal thinking what to say of all the things going on in the kingdom.
Diary 24
"Its been a few days since the party. It's currently November 27th. It's been a weird time, everyone had to prepare for that lady. No one knows but that actually was my apprentice...I can't tell them that not yet..but I have been writing since October 31st in a diary. Today my mind is all over the place. First off Crisp's son went back to the kindness kingdom to help with the war going on there, hes a fighter...like my children Crisp, Jacklyn, Darkness and Brianna. Darkness is the same age as Crisp when I created them, I made them at the same time hoping they would be by my side in the beginning but it was until later on they finally showed darkness was the one to show first so he would technically be the older brother Crisp and his sisters were born all at the same time sometimes i wonder if they know they were created and the parents adopted them they werent born by those parents they see it as that due to there parents being so evil they used there magic to change there memories all but Jacklyn and Brianna they had there real memories stored before the parents tried to make them forget they fought and ran...me personally I wouldve ended them but its fine ive been watching over them crisp doesnt know about his other siblings Darkness does and so does his sisters...I havent told crisp yet...I cant tell him the truth not yet doesnt seem like the time my daughters and sons have had visions of me creating them and they know im a good father to them ive been watching over them and taking care of them Crisp and Darkness the emobiments of good and evil i knew it was a good tiem to wait until they made up crisp and frank since darkness likes the new identity he has my childrens visions are different from Her the name is Molly. I know my daughter brianna isnt dead yet I coudlnt find her now but before I couldve she has her hidden but I hope jacklyn destroys that judgement realm that molly created its all been corrupted that father and daughter stanley and tera are both corrupted if the father perished I feel as if the daughter would be worse than her father but molly the god of intellect she has the power to use visions as well as others but my children's visions revolve around there sense nothing to special..but this is a great time to strike if my daughter jacklyn does since if molly came back she is no longer stronger then she once was due to the anti-magic Crisp used on her when they fought so she wouldn't be able to create realms but only would be able to use visions and shapeshift and have books of most knowledge appear into her hands but I wish overall my journal...ill be reunited with all my children one day."
Alex cries softly from all hes wrote and feels terrible he never had a time to bring his children to the underneath kingdom or if he has grace to do so suddenly someone knocks on his door and he quickly hides his journal and splashes his face in water.
Alex: COMING!!!
He opens the door and sees Aaron as well as jackie.
"Hi Alex. We just stopped by to tell you that Nate is looking for you" Aaron tells him
"He didn't say why he wanted to find you" Jack adds
Alex nods and heads with them.
They show him where Nate is, which is a cafe.
Nate: Hello Alex. Want to join me for a bite?
Alex: No thank you, what did you need?
Nate: I want to know what you want? Sometimes your nice other times your...weird so I'm curious on the reason and what it is after?
Alex: huh? Oh redacted told you already.
He nods
Nate: But knowing why isn't the same as knowing what your after?
Alex: I'm after the safety of my children.
Nate: Do you think dad and the others are in danger?
Alex was about to take a sip out of his drink but heard this.
Alex: you have visions DONT you...I was there when crisp was talking to you it wasn't me listening but I've been under control from Bella...she wants your fathers power...Molly...knows where my daughter is hidden I know she hid her...I need to my children and protect them from Bella I was able to get the necklace off since she got what she wanted being unsealed when that happen the magic of her necklace was removed and I was able to take it off and shatter it...I need to find my daughters before anything happens to them..
Nate looks uncertain but can't see the necklace and after a sip of his own drink he nods to himself.
Nate: I...I might be able to help you get to your daughter
Alex: r-really? And I'm sorry...all you heard from your father was that Molly lives in you...he hasn't catched a break to tell you but I know he will tell you in a dream soon.
Nate eyes him wearily
Nate: Tell me what?
Alex: about Molly and tell her hi for me.
He says looking into Nate sensing she's there
Alex:now tell me where they are please..
Nate: I don't know where she is yet or how to get her out...I'd need to talk with Molly again but I can only seem to connect to her when I'm in a vision or at least I haven't tried outside of one yet?
Alex: read that dark/light magic book your father gave you. He told me he gave it to you then he kept it...it tells you how to speak to her in dreams it's also possible you having a dream of your father and Molly being there at the same time you just need to focus!
Nate nods and stands up
Nate: I'll try it tonight then and talk to you again tomorrow...hopefully I can learn something useful.
That night crisp is in Nate's dream and there in the library of Mollys.
Crisp: Nate?
He pokes Nate reading a book.
Nate looks up
Nate: Dad? Where is Molly?
Crisp senses and brings Nate deeper into the library and she's there.
Crisp:thats her!
Nate: Mom...
Molly looks up from her book and smiles
Molly: Hello son. Your not here for a small visit are you?
Nate hesitates before shaking his head
Nate: I want to find a way to release Alex's daughter from her imprisonment
Molly: Imprisonment? I hadn't realized she was sealed away in a prison...she has access to new knowledge and everything she could need for her own research but I guess being unable to leave would count as a prison?
Nate: .......Yes but how do we free her?
Molly: It's a complicated process made very simple
Nate eyes his father
Nate: So it's actually really simple designed to look super hard?
Molly nods: But first don't you have something to talk to Nate about, Crisp?
Crisp: yeah uh she is your mother I thought you knew this Nate?
Nate: I did have a vision about it but I thought it might have been a wishful dream...but what did you want to tell me? Or were you just here to visit her?
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Crisp: I have siblings...
Nate: I know...I saw it in a vision along with some things...
Crisp: that's what I wanted to say and I'm sorry molly for ending you
She shakes her head
Molly: No. It was the right choice at the time. I was out of control...honestly theirs no guarantee I won't become that way again but I hope I'll never become that corrupted again especially now that I have a son to take care of
Nate smiles at his parents
Nate: Back to the topic...how do we release this woman?
Molly: Quite easily. You just need to find the right door with her in mind.
Nate: Where do we look for the door?
Molly: The same place it happened
Nate thinks: Of course she'd give me a riddle.
Crisp: what she means is she's in a new realm!
Molly nods: Although I'd hesitate to call it new since I created it before my death but it was the last realm I created...A realm to hide her...Honestly I'm not sure why I wished to protect her but some part of me wished it and I heeded the feeling.
Nate: Ok...but where is the door to that realm?
Molly: The same place it happened
Nate looks at her annoyed
Nate: And where did it happen?
Molly chuckles: I cannot give you all the answers or that makes the journey less fun.
Nate frowns: The place it happened...The place where what happened? If I figure out where the event happened will I be closer to figuring out where the door is?
Molly nods
Nate: So what do you know about her dad?
Crisp: I know that she was corrupted by having control of the realm she created being the new order realm!
Nate: I...meant the lady mom put in that hidden realm.
Crisp: oh no well I feel like I do!
His sense tells him he knows and so do they.
Crisp: their names are Jacklyn and Brianna.
He says in front of molly.
Molly seems surprised but she remains quiet
Nate: So which one are we talking about?
Molly: Brianna...
Nate: Ok so then we need to figure out where something happened involving her?
Molly motions around the library
Molly: The library is open to you. You need only ask and it will assist although whether the answers are what you seek or not is up to it.
Nate looks at his dad in confusion
Crisp: the new order realm.
Molly shakes her head
Molly: The doorway to the realm is not inside the realm itself but it is hidden in a realm where it happened
Nate: So it's in a realm but not the realm Brianna is sealed inside of. A realm where something involving her...why did you need to seal her away?
Molly: She was on trial
Crisp:...what for? You were there so why was she on trial....i know that the realm you created is based on all wanting to become gods ... .but ended up being controlled by a man named Stanley and that his daughter thinks the same way as her father..and that realm is new order due to...it being a realm of court..everyone inspired by mystery. Just to all be corrupted even the creator herself...that's why I ended her being Molly but I knew she could change so I..used a good small bit of her so she could come back..Molly after this dream ends I'll give my son tomorrow a way to give your form back. And..Alex told me my sisters have answers to why my memories don't feel real! ...like most of my memories...he said that you Molly would also know...something about my parents not Alex since I don't still believe he actually is my dad but I don't say it to him...but yet whenever I'm with him it feels like I've known him all my life yet my memories say he wasn't...so Molly tell me are my memories fake?
Crisps sense says they are and hisnparents he thought were really his biological parents isn't real and that he was created by his real parent being Alex but he doesn't believe it.
Molly hesitates but eventually sighs
Molly: Your memories aren't fully real. The feelings of what happened and all the events did happen but...they were not your parents.
Crisp: ....so my life did happen and they were never my parents..
Molly: They might not have been your biological parents but they were your parents cause that's what you saw them as. An orphan once adopted see the ones who adopted them as their parents sometimes. Does that make them any less their parent simply because they are not related by blood?
Crisp: ...I was forced to have memories changed they never even told me if I was adopted they changed my memories to think I was birthed by them.
Molly: ....Sometimes parents do things that they think is for the best of their child. Whether yours did it for that reason or for another reason may be unknown. But you were adopted and that truth cannot be overwritten.
She looks down sadly, unsure if she had made the right choice in telling him but sure that he deserved to know it.
Crisp: thank you for telling me it was the right thing to do.
Molly: I only told you what you deserved to know.
Nate smiles sadly as he gently touches his father's shoulder in concern
Nate: Are you going to be alright dad?
Crisp: yeah...I've been through worse than what my father and mother did...to me ...
Crisp says with a smile yet was tested on a victim thanks to his mother using him while he was asleep.
Molly stays quiet but her face is sad. Nate frowns in concern for his dad.
Nate: But they're not your real parents...is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Crisp: it's whatever the case there dead anyways..but my real parent is alive that's all I need.
He says smiling and the dream ends and Alex knocks on Nate's apartment door.
Nate falls out of his bed onto the ground with a light thump. He answers the door with his hair ruffled from sleep and he gives a small yawn.
Nate: Yes?
Alex: it's me, a new tunnel glows! It's to that realm the court one!
Nate thinks for a second before speaking outloud
Nate: The place where it happened...The court realm...she was put on trail and mom hide her...the entrance has to be inside the court realm somewhere! Somewhere in plain sight but wouldn't be thought to look at?
Alex; me and you should go check it out! We're able to enter these realms since grace said a group called wanders can go there's a meeting today about it the new rule it's for people who wish to be a wander want to go to the meeting to understand what it is?
Nate nods his head
Nate: Yeah and we can look for the door that will lead us to your daughter. Although I'm not for sure what exactly we need to look out for.
Alex nods that Nate joins him; they go together to the meeting with grace and the others.
At the meeting
Grace: so you are all a realm wanderer, able to go to other realms when you wish but can only interfere with problems of those realms if it's an emergency on your life or in other realms.
Ice: So we can't interfere with problems in our own realms either or just in other realms?
Max shrugs
Max: I think she means other realms otherwise it'd be weird not to get involved in your own homes problems.
Grace: I only mean other realms if it's your home realm go ahead but don't interfere with the other realms unless it's a problem on your life or they are a problem to other realms.
Alex bursts the door open.
Alex: whoops.
Frank is there giving refreshments and snacks and listening in.
Max takes this interruption to talk to Ice
Max: What do you think? We'd have a better chance to find what your looking for if we go this route. I mean for all we know the place your looking for is in a different realm.
Ice: It could be but then why would it be a part of my heritage if it comes from somewhere else?
Max: Maybe it only appears in our realm when it's needed?
Grace then looks at Alex and Nate and tells them everything she explained.
Alex: so Nate do you wish to go alone to save my daughters or want me to go with you?
Grace: where's Qreq?
Alex: he's been gone..he went back to rebellion a while ago since the time he talked to flame and flame went with him something about heading to his wife and getting the revenge he needs.
Nate nods and starts looking around the room their in, casually as if to explore the room.
Grace: so you are going by yourself Nate well hop to it!
A tunnel appears in front of Nate it's only up to Nate if he wishes to go now.
Nate eyes her for only a second before he vanishes into the tunnel.
Alex goes back to take care of Nate's little brother leaving Gracie and the others to talk.
Grace: how about you two?
Max: What do you say Ice?
Ice thinks for a while before nodding his head
Max: Alright! We're in then!
Grace: great which realm would it be.
She shows a list of all that are available to enter due to lights being all stories like rebellion VOTLS and as well as monster apartment.
Grace: or you can go to the judgement realm benign the new order or the kindness kingdom even though that place and rebellion are the same realm.
Max: We can't go to all of them?
Ice shrugs uncertainly
Ice: It did sound like we could go to any of the available realms but maybe we misunderstood something?
Grace: you can go to all if you want also warning in each realm your clothing changes to match that realm.
Max: Then we'd like access to all of them. We're looking for something but we haven't found it yet in our realm so we're hoping if we branch out we might locate it.
Ice: Max stop talking and lets go.
Max: Coming! Sorry about him. It's a sensitive topic for him.
Grace: ok well when your ready to go the tubes are open for you both go ahead and enter them when your ready.
They both nod and set off for Rebellion
