Seeing The Dark Times

Seeing the Dark Times Pt.1

"Why are you in my house?"

Hugo flinched at the emotion in the young Varian's voice, he was a mixture of fear and anger, his voice sounded as if he was on the edge of breaking.

"We thought that this was somebody else's home... We are lost."

"Nuru, we are not lost," Hugo glared at the air princess, making each of his words as drawn out as possible to make a point, they aren't lost.

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, not believing a word the blond thief said. Hugo turned away from Nuru frustrated and turning his attention to the elephant in the room, or in this case, a dead body encased in amber. "We answered your question, now you answer ours. Why is there a dead body in your house?"

"He's not dead," the boys said, visibly becoming more emotionally unstable as he shook.

Nuru looked closely at the body, coming to the same conclusion as before, "He looks dead to me."

Hugo expected the young teenager to boil up in angry, once again using the terrifying voice he used before but instead Hugo saw the raven-haired boy with a blue stripe, curl up in a ball on the floor. "He's not dead, he is not dead," he repeated and the gang was now well aware that he was talking to himself rather than the group. "It's Princess Rapunzel's fault!"

"Rapunzel?" Nuru asked, what Varian and her family had told her, Queen Rapunzel was a kind and lovely ruler, definitely not able of murder.

"Princess?" Hugo pointed out as he raised one of his light blond eyebrows, Rapunzel had became queen two years ago and everyone- even outside of Corona— knew that. "What year is it?"

Varian looked at the older boy, he was still panicking but thinking about numbers honestly did calm him down a little bit, he thought for a moment before questioningly answering, "1781?"

Yong, Hugo and Nuru faced eachother shocked, where they four years in the past? "Varian?"
