Maddox slipped through into the room with once lost creations, the room was dark, so Maddox took their hand and let a teal flame spread across it as the flame lit up the room, the characters hissed and cursed, they weren't used to the light. Maddox crouched down sitting on their knees as he threw the flame in the air it formed a bubble around itself and floated close to Maddox.
Now both his hand were free, the one who was talking to Issac for the past couple of weeks approached the giant who was in their room. Maddox's head was tilted down, the large hat they had hid their face, Maddox looked up seeing the small figure approach him. the others in the room watching intently as their leader went up to someone they thought they'd never see agian.
No words needed to be said as Maddox placed a hand on the creations cheek rubbing her thumb against his face lightly.
Finally the God spoke, "I'm sorry my pups," Maddoxs' voice was low and wavery.
Maddox was never informed of them being trapped in here for so long... such a waste of life and something that could be beautiful. Maddox sighed as he stood looking at the once OC's but now just broken and lost souls who begged for a purpose. Maddox knew that what they were about to offer would be risky and he should be running this by Jay but he would do that later, after all he would need Jay for part of this project. For now though it was just getting them out of this room and bringing them to his office.
"So you do care..." Ren mumbled, tears forming in his eyes, "We thought you forgot about us..."
Maddox smiled sadly, "If I would have known you were in there... I would have done what I could to prevent it."
"So... she never told you?" Jasmine questioned, looking around the office in amazement.
"No. How long did they tell you, you'd be in there?" Maddox asked, summoning a hair brush and beckoning one of the girls over.
"Until our files were located," a black haired boy answered. He'd forgotten his own name, remembering only that it started with a D... "Then we'd either be completely scrapped or reintroduced to the world."
"And you've been in there since the file incident," the God concluded, tying up Rosemary's strawberry blond hair into a braid, "I'm so sorry that happened to you kids..."
"What happens now..?" Lexi questions as she walks over to get her hair done by the God, "Did you find the files..?"
Maddox shook their head, "We haven't found the files, but I was think to reintroduce you to this new world... Introduce slowly of course."
"What's Jay think about all this?" Ren blurted, absentmindedly playing with his red scarf, "Does she still care?"
Maddox hummed softly, carefully attempting to brush a knot out of Lexi's hair, "Jay is unaware of what I'm currently doing. They care... she's been wracked with guilt since Isaac was found at the door."
"She forgot about us. Last time she visited was August 12th," The unnamed character spat, bitterness heavy in his voice, "She stopped caring the day she forgot."
Maddox sighed as they finished with Lexi's hair and beckoned Jasmine over, "We attempted to scrap the whole world, both forgetting about it for a while originally," Maddox was surprised to see that Jasmine's hair was in better condition than the other two girls, "Jay brought it back as they fell into a darker mindset. She wanted to fix the world. We'd pulled the files out and brought back as many as we could, redesigned them, and rebuilt everything-"
"And without our files, you couldn't bring us back," Rosemary finished, studying a picture of the God with three other people.
"Exactly," Maddox replied, looking at the two boys, "Do you want me to do your hair too?"
