Whistling a small tune, Bryce flipped through the pages of his comic book as he lounged about in the viewing box inside the Memory Pool room. It was his job to make sure Medusa and her friends stayed inside the memory pool at all costs.

Chuckling softly, he flipped to the next page, “stupid Spiderman, you know only loud sounds damages Venom.”

A sudden rumble caused Bryce to fall out of his chair, his drink spilling everywhere. “God dammit. What was that?” He grumbled, rubbing his side as he got off the floor to see the memory pool was glowing a bright green and bubbling over. Soon, the water began to quickly fill the room before flooding out into the halls.

“Oh, shit…” Bryce’s jaw dropped to the floor. “Irvam!!” Bryce rushed through the halls, his calls echoing through the hallway. “Irvam!!”

The dragon in question leisurely sipped his ice tea in the courtyard as he and Julius relished in their newfound victory. “Ahh… ice tea always tastes so much better when you imprison people beforehand.” Irvam snickered, clinking glasses with Julius.

“I can’t believe they’ve been in there for two weeks now! I’m surprised they’re not dead yet!” Julius cackled, sipping his drink. “What did you do with those mutts my siblings call parents? Are they actually in prison?”

“Of course not!” Irvam laughed hard. “They’re still locked up in the basement. I told the wolves they were in prison to lower their spirits.”

“Well it worked, I haven’t seen my brother scared like that in a while. God, it felt good.” Julius smirked, raising his cup to his lips.

“Julius! Irvam!” Bryce called out, rushing into the courtyard out of breath.

Julius jumped up at the wolf’s calling, causing him to spill his drink all over himself. “God dammit, Bryce! What are you hollering about?!”

“The pool…” Bryce replied breathlessly. “It’s overflowing!”

“What are you talking about?” Irvam turned around to face the wolf as he pointed towards the giant wave of water that was flowing through the castle halls. “Oh… shit!”

“What’s wrong?” Julius turned around to see the impending wave coming her way, led by a very angry Vanguard.

“IRVAM!! JULIUS!!!” Medusa roared, her eyes glowing bright green as the water smothered the entire castle, swooping up everything in its past.

Thankfully, Medusa’s wave safely carried them all back to Dewei’s house, along with Enyo and Ulysses. Everyone was fine except for Medusa. She exerted all her power to not only get all of them out of the memory pool.

“Barron, I told you. I’m alright.” Enyo chuckled as her son examined her for wounds once more.

“I know… I just can’t believe you're here… I thought you went to prison!” Barron smiled, hugging his mother tightly. “I’m so sorry… I let Julius take over the pack not once, but twice.”

“Son, you don't need to apologize, I’m not mad at you for that.” Enyo stroked his cheeks. “I always knew you were the one destined to become alpha, not Julius. I love all my children but when Julius was born… there was something about him that gave me a bad feeling. I know this is horrible to say, but I knew he was going to become toxic. Growing up, Julius always had this evil streak in him. It scared me to my core, that’s why I didn’t want to have you and Vanessa for a while, I was worried you two would end up like Julius.”
