The broken gear

Reunion

The door was a double door. They were each 8.5 feet tall and 3 feet long. They had a thin mahogany red line about 6 inches in from the outside. They bordered a group carved floral designs that seemed to represent their status and royalty. There were 6 small crowns surrounding a much larger and more complex crown that was in the middle of the two doors. It was about one foot long and was cut in half when the doors would open.

"Remember try not to use any magic." Thomas said.

"Got it."

Once the door opened they saw Thomas' parents standing next to each other along with his siblings. They all had fairly light to light skin tone. He had 3 other siblings. He had a 13 year old sister, a 20 year old sister and a 23 year old brother. He was closest with his brother, even though he would usually go on diplomatic trips with his parents. However, he still had some secrets or preferences that he kept hidden. He had the worst relationship with his younger sister. She acted entitled and was capable of getting away with more stuff than the others. He had a neutral relationship with his other sister. They didn't really talk much.

His mother ran up to him and hugged him. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

"Hey Thomas," Said his father. "We've prepared a feast for your arrival."

His younger sister was smirking at him. They entered and his brother pulled him aside to talk. "There's some news you might have to sit down for."

"It's only been like two days."

"I know, it's weird."

Nelle saw a small light walk through the forest.

They entered the manor and were hit with an appetizing aroma of multiple foods. The living room was large. Nelle saw an electric chandelier that looked like it was made of gold hanging from the center of the living room. It had small clear crystals hanging from them. There was a large brown piano in the corner. The walls were made of red wallpaper with small white crowns. They had a bookcase filled with books. It had three selves and two doors that led to two separated cabinets. There were pictures of Thomas and his family. The place was filled with decorations that seemed to be similar to the ones from the Victorian era.

They entered the dining room and all sat in the table. On the short side of the table, was a chair that had golden frames and velvet red cushioning. To its left was a smaller version of it, but was it still a wonder to look at. On both sides were eight wooden chairs with violet soft splats and seats. To the right were Thomas' older brother, Arthur, Thomas, and Nelle. To the left were his older sister, Hazel, and his younger sister, Sarah. On the table were dozens of plates with turkey, chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, shepherd's pie, black pudding, and other traditional yet modern foods. They sat down and ate.
