Mooncaster: Rough arrival? Where are we?

Kuro: Are we dead?

The group is looking around, frightened of the new and unfamiliar place. Everything is new to the group, from the style of the arena they appeared in to the people before them.

Tim: Who are you three?

Tim asks, hiding slightly behind Vern as he looks at Grace, Lostina, and the succubus. The succubus smiles gently at the group.

Succubus: My name is Esmeralda, what's yours?

Tim: Tim Hisssser

He says it while hisses out the S's like a snake would.

Mooncaster: Who cares about our names? Who are you? Where are we? What happened to Malada and Aussie? Where is our home? How did we get here?

Nate comes into the training arena followed by Spiffy and Atl. Spiffy and him are planning on practicing while Atl watches them, although Nate isn't that thrilled about it, he knows he needs to be able to fight well. He notices the group after hearing Mooncaster's worried questions and comes over.

Nate: Lots of people would care about your names. I'm Nate. This is Lostina, Grace, Spiffy and Atl.

He points to each as he speaks their name.

Nate: You're inside the underneath kingdom. I'm not sure who those two are but we can look into where they are. You must be from the recent realm that appeared for a bit and then only just disappeared. As for how you got here...maybe the tubes brought you?

Martha: So...our home is dead?

The group goes deadly quiet as the realization sinks in that they have no home now. Nate doesn't like the atmosphere and hates seeing them look so hurt and depressed.

Nate: There's always a chance that it could come back...maybe it's not gone forever and just temporarily gone, like when your friend visits a place for a while before coming home.

They all give him a small smile.

Tim: Yeah...

Vern looks around a bit before she realizes that this is a place of battles.

Vern: Are we in a place to battle!?

Nate nods grimacing a bit but it seems more like a mock grimace than actually grimacing.

Vern: NICE!!!

Kuro: What do we do now?

Mooncaster: We need to find places to stay and rest up before we can think of our next move...we have to get the book back!

They all nod before they follow Nate to get places to stay. The Mystical group noticed a map of this strange place but what really caught their eyes was the name, Ragnarok, which was the name of the town which held their most sacred book. Upon closer inspection they see the name of other towns and cities from their home. Nate leads them away from the map and to get them all settled. Mooncaster and Vern get a home. Vern lets Tim and Martha share her home while Kuro goes to the orphanage, not really wanting to have a place alone and he doesn't want to impose on Mooncaster. Nate returns to the training dome to start training against Spiffy.

Spiffy laughs and slashes the air and the slashes head toward Atl surprising him.

Meanwhile lostina looks at Yella from there in the bleachers watching the fight.

Yella: Do you know about the 4th wall?

Lostina: oh yeah what about it?

Yella: well do you think for the residents that aren't from here or born down here or our realm and visit our realm do you think this reality or as well our realm to them is a AU.

Lostina: I wouldn't think so. I mean we live here now, a place between the realms..and if we were talking other realities Alex told me Bella merged all other realities into the original body..

They see the fighting between these two is getting more interesting so Lostina shuts Yella up for now.

During the fight Spiffy slashes the air more and making Atl dodge so Spiffy threw the sword hard enough that it spins in a circle. Atl obviously dodges but it stays up mid air and the sword itself makes slashes landing around Atl making him think there isn't a way out so he starts to charge up an attack making him glow. This attack will help him escape this situation but Spiffy seeing Atl charging he runs and slides between two slashes of magic and jumps grabbing his sword and says to Atl "bye bye!" He slashes Atl in half making Spiffy the winner of this battle and if it weren't for the dome's instant heal magic after someone won, Atl most likely would've been dead.

Spiffy helps Atl up and his text box appears in front of him Atl reads it.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Atl: "if you wish to beat me train for another thousand years" ouch but makes sense due to how competitive you are.

Spiffy's text box disappears and the two go head out to have lunch together.

Nate follows them along with Vern and they manage to catch up.

Nate: That was a cool match.

Vern: That was awesome! You have to teach me how to do that spinning sword thing!

Nate wonders if she even knows how to use a sword with the sharpness of her fingernails which sort of resemble claws more.

Vern: Or just fight me!

Spiffy looks at her a bit confused.

Spiffy: sure we can fight later but are you sure you can handle that mrs? Also hello there Nate and thank you.

Vern: Don't worry about me! I'm a wyvern person, we're made out of tough stuff! Oh right! My names Vern the Mighty!

Nate: I'm pretty sure the mighty part isn't a part of her name...she's from the new realm that vanished.

Spiffy: oh that realm where everyone here is spreading rumors saying that it isn't destroyed just invisible?

Atl: is it that realm also that was very specific Spiffy but take that map of the realms out that the leader of this kingdom gave you for wanders!

Spiffy opens his inventory and shows on the map that the realm known as mystical realm isn't erased from the map, just not glowing.

Spiffy: landmarks that glow mean that they are able to be entered and landmarks that are not glowing means that it's just not able to go into but doesn't mean it is destroyed.

Nate: And if it is destroyed?

Spiffy: "if it was" from what the leader of this kingdom told me it would be fully erased off the map and the tube of that place would've been gone!

Vern: Has that ever happened before?

Spiffy: yes with that person who attacked this place uh what was her name Atl?

Atl: Bella I think?

Suddenly someone walks in. She wears a hoodie and has nice long purple hair mixed with red. She looks around and bumps into Nate and takes a pencil and a paper out and writes "I'm sorry.."

Nate: It's alright. Are you hurt?

She shook her head and wrote on her magic paper "im ok..i was just walking and stunned with how pretty this place is making me bump into you and also think i want to move here but i don't know how i got here as well because i was just walking down a street and saw a flash and here i am.. But that's ok i feel like that was important like it was supposed to happen!!!!"

Atl and Spiffy see her and look at each other and just shrug and leave her to go to Ice's mythical cafe.

Nate: Maybe it was supposed to happen. If you'd like I can show you around?

She nods and walks with him.

He shows her around, pointing out different places such as Redacted's store, Frank's bar, Crisp's cafe, his own shop and many other places.

Her stomach growls, she blushes due to embarrassment and checks her pockets. She has no money, a single tear falls from her left eye.

Nate: Come on. I'll pay today.

She smiles and follows and uses her sign language to say "thank you"

Nate: The food here is good.

Nate turns and just sees her chowing it down like someone who hasn't eaten in days.

Nate: I guess it's better that I thought?

She looks up to see Nate looking at her. She swallows and uses a napkin to wipe her face and uses the utensils embarrassedly.

Nate smiles at her before he shakes his head slightly.

Nate: It's alright. Eat however you want. I won't judge you for it. Besides, it was cute watching you eat like it's the most delicious food you've ever had.

He chuckles a little. She gets more embarrassed hearing Nate say this.

Redacted saw her eat like that and came over.

Redacted: I'm glad someone really enjoys my cooking.

He smirks looking at Nate and goes back to serving customers.

Nate: See. It shows the chef how much you like the cooking.

She is still embarrassed but she writes down and shows the paper to Nate and it reads "do you not like his cooking or something? Why did he look at you like that?"

Nate: Who knows...my brother can be weird at times. I do like his cooking though but I wouldn't know why he looked at me like that.

She uses sign language with a confused look "your brother? He looks nothing like you plus by the way he was looking it seemed like he wanted to date you but now i know you two are siblings! But are you sure?"

Due to the magic of the underneath kingdom residents of the said kingdom can understand any language.

Nate: We're...a bit more like adopted siblings to each other but he'd never want to date me...I'm not his type...maybe.

She was drinking her water and spit it out, luckily the magic of the kingdom made sure the liquid stayed in the air and returned into its container. She signs "so adoptive siblings like fully adopted or like no papers adopted?"

Nate opens his mouth then shuts it and thinks for a second.

Nate: I...I assume full. I've never asked to see the papers before and I've never really considered if we were fully adopted siblings or not...

Grace appears and leaves after handing Nate a paper that reads "you two are not fully adopted. Redacted was scared to ask that question to Crisp but sees Crisp as a father and loves his father"

Nate nods but chooses not to say anything out loud since Redacted might not want to know.

Nate: What makes you think he's interested in dating me?

She uses her sign language "well i was wrong just he looked at you like someone who would if in a relationship and teasing you the same way."

Nate: I doubt that...do you think we should test that theory?

He looks slightly at Redacted as he asks this.

Redacted smirks at Nate and winks and brings him alcohol and he heads out and leaves the cafe to leave Frank in charge.

Frank: Oh hello Nate. I see you have a new friend, also that look scared of Redacted. Haha I wonder why. Anywho today is my day off from working at the monster apartment bar but I don't like to relax so I chose or asked your brother if I can change my schedule for work to the days I'm off.

Nate: Hello Frank. This is Carol.

Frank: Well nice to meet you miss mind if i ask were your from?

She writes down "none of your business."

He takes a sip of his alcohol while thinking of the wink from Redacted, unsure if he likes him or is just teasing him she left.

Once far from everyone taps her watch and heads back to the shattered realm to report back to there leader about this place at the same time the people of the underneath kingdom prepare nate and some of the residents ready to go to the deep sea realm.
