The state of the town becomes worst with each passing second. the people became harder to control no matter who they bring out. Streets are blocked and shops have closed.The injured of the guards or the people are forced to lie to the side as their unable to reach the castle for medical attention. There only one thing that could fix this mess or perhaps destroy it.
Their stood the queen facing the doors of the castle’s main balcony. One that rained over the entire town. Her advisers behind her. “ your majesty with all due respect, are you sure about this?, you most of all are well aware of the dangers this exposes dawn to” ,one of the advisers speaks out his concerns. “ the miracle has fell upon on us, it our duty to announce it” the queen responds , determination and certainty clear in her voice. “ as you see fit , your majesty”,he bows down, “ your majesty!” The rest of advisers follow suit. The queen pulling the hood of her cloak up , opens the doors of the balcony and takes a step out, the voices of the crowd rise , they yell and shot varies phrases in many tongues but the sentiment remains one.
e voices of the crowds ascend in anger and frustration. Now everything seemed to them like a little unfunny children's prank. The anger that came upon them at the moment was enough for the people to be able to breakdown the gates of the castle.
As they start flooding through. the guards and soldiers start to move to protect the castle. The queen holds out her hand ushering for them not to move. They stand down as they’re told. The queen then extends her right arm forward ,gem in the left arm. “ allow me to demonstrate”. A Blue light starts orbiting around her arm ,moving forward till it reaches the very tip of her hand, then she rises her arm up summing enormous black sharp rocks out of the ground they extend as far as the tip of the castle and act as it’s shields. The girls stop in front of a window dumbfounded at sight of the towers that just appeared before their eyes.
The people began to run sporadically, frightened from what they have just witnessed. The queen continues. The rocks then began to appear from behind them just as tall, the people have no place to run. The towers slant and curve meeting in one point creating a sort of dome around the people. The queen then backs her arm and it takes a breath before moving it back forward and up. Creating the highest tower of them all in the center, shattering the meeting point , causing the rest of the towers to fall to the back. But before the rocks could hit the ground they start to sink back into it. The queen puts her arm down and ushers for the soldiers to move. Now in a state of shock, the people don’t resist. “ as the eyes of the world stand before me, I deliver, the era of magic is back!” The queen yells out her final message. Turning back, the rope of her cloak flying behind her, she makes her way into the castle. “you asked for answers, and I shall deliver them you!” The queen yells out to the crowd getting their full attention . “You are no longer in the departed realm, you are in enchanted lands!” . . The voices of the crowds ascend in anger and frustration. Now everything seemed to them like a little unfunny children's prank.

Stunt in place the girls were. A maid taps on their shoulders, snapping them back into the present. Leading them to their room in request of the queen. Now standing in a humble room, at the second floor. with three beds inside. The girls began to walk around, taking in the room. “Wow, look at the..uhh..nice wooden frames” Lara says as she slides her hand against the frame of the bed. “ yeah…shiny” , Lyan responds with somber tone of voice, without even looking up at her sister’s face. Her eyes just aimlessly hovering over the ground. Lara noticing her sister’s sadness, Lara goes to sit down on one of the beds, tugging down on the mattress with her hand. “ these mattresses are pretty bouncy” , she jumps with her back on the mattress, bouncing up n’ down. Lyan turns her head at the sound of the mattress. “Come, you should try this!” Lara calls out for her. Lyan intrigued , makes her way to the bed. Tugging down as well , “yeah!” she say before jumping on the bed, bouncing along with her sister.
Joyful laughter escapees their mouths, “ come on Maya, you’re missing out” Lara calls out In cheerful manner. “ stop..” , Maya responds irritation in her voice. “What?”, Lara says, in confusion to her sister’s response. “Stop!, stop acting like this is some sort of trip!, we’re in a different realm with no idea how to get back, we’re lost!” Maya cries out, crouching down on the ground, covering her face with the palms of both her hands. “ whoa, hey-hey I was just trying to cheer you guys up” Lara says , walking away form the bed and towards maya. “What is there to be cheerful about” Maya says in a grim tone.
Panic and sadness has truly started to hit her. obvious to her sisters , Lyan moves next to her leaning her head on her shoulder, her arms holding her in an embrace. Lara keels down to face her. With a sincere and warm tone she goes ,“ it all feels hopeless doesn’t it?, will it’s not!, we might be in different realm on our own but there is a way back!. What the broadway jerk wad said, with the power of the ..uhh ..three-way-”. “He said with the power of the three!” Maya rises her head as she says that, “ are you trying to be gross on purpose?”. Lara with a smirk on her face answers “will it’s the only way to get you to raise your head up”. Maya pushes her shoulder gently. Lara chuckles, then takes mayas hand pulling her up. “ but what matters is , there is a way back. And a after the events of today I’m sure they’ll want nothing more then us back” Lara says. “ yeah!” Lyan yells in support rising her fist in the air.
They all chuckle. A smile finally wearing Maya’s face. But the moment doesn’t last long, as the sound of footsteps comes hurtling in from the floor below. “ that must be the guards bringing the people in ” ,Lyan says in excitement. “ let’s go and meet them, maybe if we’re lucky we’ll find someone we know!” Lara says before pulling her sisters and bolting out of the room.
Following the sounds of the steps, they’re lead to a room with a many maids inside offering help to the people and guards standing outside of it , shielding the room. the girls make their way in ,to find most of the people sitting with distressed look upon their faces. But nonetheless The girls go up to each one. They start looking around the room for anyone even slightly familiar, they question the people as-well hoping that someone may recall how they’ve ended up here. Much to their disappointment , their was nothing of use in there.
The girls leave the room with nothing more then let down. As they stand outside with tight expectations on the faces , they notice a cloaked face lurking around the entrance of the room. Lara leaning closer to them says “hello?…” . The person turns around in instant , revealing themselves to be , “ruby-!”. “ shhhhh!” The queens whispers, putting her index finger in front of her mouth . Maya and Lyan go up to Lara to see what’s going on as they heard call out, “ruby!” They both shout out . “ why to they keep calling me ruby?!” She mumbles underneath her breath. “ what are you doing here?” Lyan asks her . “ oh nothing, just came to see how they’re holding up” the queen responds, turning her face towards the people, “ have you… spoken to them by any chance?” She asks.
“Yes actually” they answer. “ really!?, did you perhaps learn anything from them?” . Lyan gives her thumbs down as she’s says “whomp, whomp”. “Sigh , well much more will be coming in , maybe they’ll know something. And also , the spring meeting has been rescheduled a week from now, in that time I’ll need you to talk to these people and collect any information that could be of use” the queen requests of the girls. The girls exchange brief glances before Lyan steps out and asks “ why us?”. “ well, they’re your people, they will be more comfortable talking to you then to any of us. And you are the only ones from them who are even remotely compliant with us. Now can I rely on you?” She stares straight into their eyes as she ask that.
They glance at each other one more time before they all nod in acceptance. “Good-”, before the queen could complete her words she falls to the ground , as the floor starts to shake and tremble again. It stops only a few seconds later, imitating exactly the last one. “ my stars!, what’s happening with them down there?!” The queen say before she orders one of the guards to go and check out on the situation. Lara intrigued to find the cause of the mysterious earthquakes whispers to her sisters “let’s follow the guard”. then just as the guard was far enough, she pulls her sister running in his exact direction.
Trying to follow him carefully as to not get caught, the girls slow down, hiding behind walls, watching his every move. He turns around, they pin themselves to a wall, then look back out, just like that he was gone in the blink of an eye. They run out to the halls. “ Damn it!, we lost him” Lara shouts out. Maya: “ *sigh*, too bad , another mystery unsolved”. Lara: “ nah doesn’t matter, i just didn’t wanna go back to the room” she responds looking down ,kicking her feet in the air.
“ Girls!” a sound from the distance calls out, they turn to face the direction of the sound. Maya: “ oh, Vernon” , Lara: “looks like we’re not going after all” , Lyan: “ hiiiiiii!!”, She yells out to him waving her hand in the air. Vernon makes his way to them in a hurry, one of his hands behind his back. “ *panting* ,hello ,*panting* excuse me-l I was looking all over for you girls”. “ really?, why?” Lara asks. “ to give you this”, Vernon extends the arm behind his back forward to reveal a basket. The girls lean back in a bit of surprise before leaning back in to see what the basket holds. “ oh!, a- foods basket?” Lara says as she takes the basket out his hand. It seemed to contain two pieces of meat wrapped in paper, eggs, milk, cheese, many more dairy and grain products and a bottle that contained a strange green liquid inside of it.
